5:00 am
see i'm. on the bottom. and i'll just. this is al jazeera. the whole robin welcome to the al-jazeera news our life my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes pleasure. turkey's president strengthens his grip on power with a decisive election victory also. the fight for you have been strategically important port who gets closer to the city center as the forces fire rockets at the saudi capital. the migrant stuck on a boat with nowhere to go while european leaders try to figure out what to do with
5:01 am
them and. oh. england are on song football's world cup helped by patrick hero harry kane. welcome to the news a resoundingly alexion victory for turkey's president will give him sweeping new powers. will extend his fifteen year rule after winning more than fifty percent of the vote means he achieved his ambition of an executive presidency despite opposition warnings of one man rule. the winners of this election are the eighty one million turkish citizens of this country each and everyone is the winner in this election everybody exercised their rights by going to the ballot boxes and casting their votes and i want to thank everybody you are writing history we've had
5:02 am
a huge turnout in this election very few countries have had such high turnouts and they are so they show how strong we are in our democracy and it shows how our people defend democracy. from a key party's headquarters in ankara. besides a lot of the reports in the lead up to sunday's vote think it was going to be a tightly contested election president project to one only he did the first round she's essentially secured a second term as president you know now the difference between him and the cross is consistent i don't change a one hundred ten million votes now in the first statement made by president but the paper i want to add to those results came through he said that she will vote for the president for all charges he promised that he would not allow for anybody to be discriminated against inside surjeet just because of their political leaders who they voted for their ethnic background or gender or p.c. when it comes with that background one of the ethnic minorities just like you to
5:03 am
register my knowledge you found sunday to be a joyful day for them because their parties you think you wanted to cross the ten percent just holding your places in parliament obviously he's elections on how they were not just for the presidency they were for the parliament as well it turns up a lot of the cheap votes yet party boss maintaining a simple majority in the legislative body the new body which now has six hundred m.p.'s in its as opposed to five hundred in the previous one another positive thing in terms of the democratic makeup in turkey because it secures greater more diverse representation while the act party maintained their majority there but they lost their super majority the two thirds majority which would allow for them to continue in terms of making constitutional changes so that's something that they will try and play down but obviously is seen as a setback for them now moving forward this is going to be a new era for turkey it is the first time they have an executive presidency
5:04 am
a lot of the powers will be concentrated in it's obviously the parliament still has the ability to get rid of the president if they see fit and it will require votes from the members of parliament there about zero to one speaking to the crowd. after that victory said that she was going or promised that she was going to transform turkey reach one of the ten most powerful nations on earth he said this was a victory for all turks because obviously the high voter turnout close to ninety percent as he said observers are putting that to roughly about eighty six eighty seven percent something much greater than many of the other more stablish democracies not just in the region but obviously in western europe so a significant day a significant election to say the least here in turkey. well let's take a look in detail at the numbers within all of the ballots counted one took slightly more than fifty two percent of the vote in the field of six candidates his main challenger was one of an inch a from the c.h.p. party who drew millions to his rallies but only poll thirty percent the imprisoned
5:05 am
leader of the pro kurdish hates d.p.s. the last meet us took eight percent it was the first time turks chose their president and parliament at the same time so far once a tea party is leading with forty three percent of the c.h.p. a second with nearly twenty three percent. will be the third largest party with just over eleven percent of the vote but it's myth now has reaction from the opposition see hate peace headquarters. there's frustration and disappointment here the republican people's party headquarters the j h b they hope that their candidate more i mean jay would at least have forced a second round runoff vote to do that they needed to deprive stop present one getting more than fifty percent plus warm vote it appears that one has done that in j has not really got over about thirty percent of the vote so a lot of disappointment here though the opposition will say that they never started
5:06 am
off this election with a level playing field much of the television news at time was devoted to the act party and president and they got about sixty seven hours of coverage last month compared to seven hours of coverage for example for the republican people's party those so they say they were facing an uphill battle all the way they might take some consolation from the suggestion that the out party has been to deprive its overall majority in parliament it will have to work with this far right m.h. p party to to help pass legislation through prominence and those in favor of the out party and also the kurdish h.e.p.a. is represented in parliament so that may may suggest that is a very representative selection of turkish society in parliament but above all yes frustration and disappointment here the c.h.p. that we're not going to see a second round runoff here for the presidency of. the proca the democratic party is
5:07 am
another big weather thousands have been celebrating the city of their bichir after again sixty seven seats making it the third largest in parliament his presidential candidate sateen meet this thousands of party members are in prison on terror charges for alleged links to kurdish fighters. i have seen many cruelties here i'm also a sewer victim you see the festivities now a leader is now in prison yet we don't buckle under it now we are celebrating you see here how beautiful the ambulances. since this morning i've been on duty at a polling station i've waited for this moment this hour i've waited for this emotion god thinks a million. well it's been at least an hour in new york he's the president of the turkish heritage organization welcome to al-jazeera thanks for your time sir now how do you actually assess the fact that one has now got to go into a coalition partnership and that opposition groups have really dented the party's
5:08 am
total grip on parliamentary power yes i mean the reader is the actually turkish democracy tonight and there'll be seven parties in the turkish parliament and the democrat syria will be stronger in the turkish parliament because our don present our don doesn't have the super power here partner everything nationalist party h.p. . right now the other opposition parties represented this will also voice and there'll be a balance in the turkish parliament i think it's good for the turkish democracy does the positive showing by opposition groups really help are the ones image in terms of how the west view him sort of staging an apparently free and fair election be it that he sort of had more state control over sort of the media coverage than his competitors. this has to understand that
5:09 am
prison are done is not going anywhere i mean tonight the election results from you see it mean your position party representatives also declare that present are done in the election and also there are eight international organizations four hundred fifteen. were present at turkey's elections tonight so i think it was a fair election and the west has to understand that present are done we'll be impoverished another four or five years and have a new page between turkey and vest so i think balancing the parliament i think it will be a new era for can for turkish democracy a few moments ago you mentioned the m h p party the rather conservative they'll have to go into coalition with the once a k party what will they want from this coalition for mr policies to be seen through. m.e.h.
5:10 am
be a leader. but chile was the first leader to call. the tory saw it seems like during the campaign chile and the present are done have good communication under relationship the other thing is nation as party has demand during the campaign and prison are done said no we can't do it no nation is party in the parliament they are strong right now and our party needs to listen nations' parties so there'll be some agreements and some disagreements between two parties but i think the correlation. in the turkish parliament as about you have to see what they're offered in that new coalition i mean with a new parliamentary system that is an executive presidency there's no prime minister anymore in sweeping changes sort of in the way that ministers vice presidents and senior officials will be appointed there's really no turning back
5:11 am
for president the one who's pinned the economic failures of the past on the old system this new system has to work for him doesn't it. it has to work because maybe this is the last chance for him to show that this system worked otherwise for the next future elections it would be a failure but our understanding is with the new reform a lot of government institutions will be dismissed and the new structure will be presented by a president are done within two weeks. that will be good for turkish democrats as well minister of european affairs and the turkish foreign ministry will be called by as well so present are done we'll get to dos on ministry for the new system and the other good thing is present are done promised that he will lift the state of
5:12 am
emergency which is good for the democrats see and he also. insists that there'll be some reforms so we'll see i mean he has a successful otherwise the local elections are coming next year indeed i mean just very briefly mr this was a good election for president who won but what can the opposition take from this experience build on and then execute perhaps for the next election so the opposition party wasn't ready for the early election snap election that i call and the opposition party also has not presented any projects any reforms just the strong meetings or social media campaigns about many public believe that they were ready for the snap elections for the future i think they should come up with a stronger packages reform package that they can explain to the public otherwise
5:13 am
present are down will continue in two thousand and twenty three to well we'll see whether it is work in progress for the benefit of the sure nothing so joining us from new york thank you. saudi arabia has intercepted a ballistic missile over the capital riyadh according to its at defense forces who the rebels in yemen say they launch the rockets targeting the saudi defense ministry booties have stepped up missile attacks in retaliation against strikes by the saudi and iraqi coalition. both fighting in the yemeni voter who data has moved closer to the city center forcing even more residents to flee most are heading to the capital sanaa hoping to find sanctuary that the port has been bombed for the past twelve days in the saudi a mirage a coalition campaign to oust those who the rebels the tory again will be reports. on the road that they hope to safety families escape the fighting in who data and head to would send them despite the un's offer to take away the control of pay day

celebrating that country's biggest ever wealth cup when. hundreds of african migrants have been rescued by the libyan coast guard in the mediterranean dozens of women and children are once those that were saved they were taken to a naval base in the capital tripoli and then a refugee camp in the town of homs the rescue is the latest in a series of incidents off the north african coast well sixteen e.u. leaders have held an emergency meeting on migration ahead of a major summit later in the week pushing for solutions to the deadlock over who should take in migrants and refugees landing on european soil dominic kane reports from brussels. as they posed for the cameras in brussels the central question being posed to e.u. leaders was if they could find
5:17 am
a solution to the migrant crisis for some this is appeared to become decisive over recent weeks angle america has had to concede ground to her domestic allies on sunday there was a further concession at least in tone isn't all that i need we all agree that we want to reduce illegal migration that we want to protect our borders and that we are all responsible for all topics it cannot be the case that some on it deal with primary migration and others only with secondary migration everybody is just sponsible for everything wherever possible we want european solutions which is not possible we want to bring those who are willing to gather and find a common framework for action the issue has been brought into sharp focus by scenes like these filmed aboard the vessel m.v. lifeline in the mediterranean two hundred twenty six people rescued from the sea but stuck on the ship as different countries refused to accept them as it were a metaphor for the entire migrant crisis it is extremely difficult and i would say
5:18 am
it's even harder now than it might have been two or three years ago because in the interim we've seen a number of government changes including a number of hardline governments a couple vocal but also we've seen a polarizing of positions between countries based on their experience of migration italy has proposed a ten point plan to try to drive the discussion forward suggesting different countries accept reception centers as part of a commitment to abandon the previous dublin regulation whereby refugees must claim asylum in their arrival country as he left brussels on sunday prime minister. tweeted his happiness at the way the talks had progressed when this meeting was first called it was with the hope that sixteen member states might be able to iron out some of the problems and then present solutions to the twenty eight member state meeting that takes place on thursday and friday. this week the question is will there be any kind of compromise acceptable to the full e.u.
5:19 am
summit dominic kane al-jazeera brussels and a group of jewish and muslim leaders have staged a joint protest in the german city of berkeley and against rising islamophobia and anti semitism the protesters road turned them bicycles through the city many wearing white vest that said jews and muslims full respect and tolerance dozens of people joined the interfaith bikers as they taught the city stand down. and thousands of people have protested in romania as capital after one of the most powerful politicians was sentenced for official misconduct the rallies come after the ruling social democrats leader was given a three and a half year jail term for abuse of power in office liviu that are his party says he's innocent pending a final verdict. and tens of thousands moldovans of staged a rally in the capital chisinau in support of a merrill candidate whose win was declared illegitimate they're demanding the reversal of a court ruling that an old old ramus there sees electoral win this month the e.u.

and the us are both criticized the ruling stars and has accused the court of being swayed by the head of moldova's ruling party land me. person donald trump says any migrants who as he puts it invaded the u.s. should be sent home without appearing before a judge he's continuing his hardline rhetoric on migration despite a u. turn on separating children from their parents the government's now trying to reunite the families in a remote detention center which is their escape or a little on the reports from last first last in texas. in one of the most remote corners of southern texas vehicles coming in going from here this immigration and customs enforcement detention facility that has been designated as a primary place where the government plans to pursue a tape the reason. if occasion of parents and children separated by authorities after crossing into the u.s. seeking asylum it's located in the middle of
5:21 am
a national wildlife preserve far from everything and maybe for good reason the inner workings of the facility remains a mystery to much of the outside world these images were filmed by the government last year it's a massive facility that reportedly can hold one thousand two hundred detainees and it's now at full capacity it's used to hold migrants to cross into the u.s. illegally. thousands of kilometers away washington officials say it's at this very facility where families will be reunited but immigration lawyers who visited for multiple days saw little evidence of that we did not get any indication that the u.s. government has a plan in place to reunite children with their parents most of the people most of the parents in there who are separated from their children had their children taken to the custody of the office of refugee resettlement and that is going to be a very long process no matter what the circumstances this is as close as i could
5:22 am
get to the detention facility on this road behind me is a guard booth and when i went there security said that journalists were not allowed inside and asked me to leave we did make a formal request with the department of homeland security to tour the facility but so far that request has been denied however human rights lawyers who have been inside say the facility is full of parents that are currently separated from their children and all those parents are asking the same questions the question is always what's going to happen to my child if i get deported will my child be deported with me am i going to be reunited with my child do you know where my child is if that series of questions and unfortunately i don't have the answer to that for parents wanting to see their kids again hopes now rest on whatever happens behind this spence far from public view gabriel's andro. put his most taxes.

a time actually most of the rain is just north of here just north of your screen actually and that will be the case on tuesday as well so humid but not as wet as it was south of this and likewise unusual picture going by with all that in the showers around the philippines of vietnam but there are mass around malaysia and parts of indonesia western java. for example and has been something like a month's worth of rain reported in kuala lumpur so the showers began to write instead in the forecast singapore could be included in this this is for the next couple of days malaysia indonesia less so the philippines but i still wouldn't call it dry to be honest. now the monsoon is also taking a bit more of a spit now it's jumped forward since you can see. the white top storms in the bangladesh the western side of the near running as well still gets a lot of you everywhere certainly in potential. the weather sponsored by.

5:32 am
circling in makeshift camps in desert areas. is mounting on the border with jordan where thousands of internally displaced people asked around. where stitching plans to help the growing number of refugees were arrived daily and whether it can help us you are most welcome. we spent days seeking shelter under a tree and no one came to our help when we came here and as you can see the terrain is rough and inhospitable we call upon the international community to help us. syrian army's offensive started last wednesday president bashar al assad is vowing to crush the opposition unless rebels surround the minister a campaign could turn into a full blown confrontation the u.s. which along with russia brokered a truce in southern syria last year has warned of retaliation if the syrian army
5:33 am
doesn't pull out. now the u.s. president's top adviser on the middle east is expected to present a new peace plan for israel and palestine with or without palestinian leadership he says jerad cushion or made the comments to the palestinian newspaper could steering his middle east talk is quoted as saying he doubts palestinian president mahmoud abbas is capable of making a deal but added that he's willing to work with him the palestinian leader cut communications with the u.s. have to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. well while the details of the so-called deal of the century have officially been real are released here's what emerged from the leaks the palestinians would initially control garza and less than half of the occupied west bank and the palestinian capital would be created from villages surrounding jerusalem the israelis would retain security control over the
5:34 am
jordan valley and have total control over palestinian travel between the west bank and gaza while a corridor will be created between palestinian territory in jerusalem's holy sites it appears that palestinians would have to surrender the principle of the right to return of palestinian refugees expelled that during the creation of israel for the future of illegal israeli settlements on the final border between palestine and israel will be decided at a later date sorry force that has more from west jerusalem. well there's very little here that gives precise indications as to what might be in the black and white of the trim deal but what there is in this interview given by gerrard cushion and indications as to the general direction of travel of the united states administration and the way that it intends to approach this two things really stand out he's putting a lot of store by economic incentive saying that palestinians may well care less about the talking points of their leaders than the prospects of better paying jobs for future generations of their people the other thing that stands out and is
5:35 am
evidenced in that is the way that he is trying really to bypass the leadership of mahmoud abbas the palestinian president appealing directly through this interview which is being read by palestinians to the palestinian people themselves saying that perhaps the promising leadership is scared that palestinians might actually like what was in this deal and saying that mahmoud abbas perhaps doesn't have the ability to take the lead take the leap rather towards a compromise but there are also things which are really obvious by that absence in this interview no mention of settlements of occupation of the very controversial decision by donald trump to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and indeed to move the u.s. embassy there so the fact that that hasn't been addressed for many palestinians these aren't just mere talking points of the leadership these are very much core principles and as far as leadership is concerned it has reacted with pretty
5:36 am
restrained fury to all this the palestinian president's spokesman saying the united states is trying to create false history has been falsifying facts the p.l.o. second general side erekat is accuse them of trying to separate gaza and the palestinian authority even further and indeed undermine the palestinian authority leadership in the west bank so no prospects at this stage that the palestinian leadership has and wants anything to do with the united states administration or its plan even ahead of its publication. assessing the fallout of the u.s. withdrawal from the united nations human rights council the moves been widely condemned by activists and some of america's allies and the retreat could leave the u.s. with less influence on the international stage our diplomatic editor james phase reports now from u.n. headquarters in new york. for eighteen months ambassador nikki haley has made it her mission to make sure it's not business as usual at the u.n.
5:37 am
she has repeatedly called for reform as her boss president trump has pulled away from the international consensus on key issues pulling the u.s. out of the paris climate agreement the iran deal the un's cultural agency unesco and cutting all funding for annorah the part of the un that helps palestinians most recently she announced the us was withdrawing from the un human rights council the first country ever to do so she said it was in part because of its bias against israel pulling out of the human rights council for the us was a huge miscalculation and you can see their influence in the council since it was created in two thousand and six on various different issues by pulling out they don't have that kind of influence anymore so even leading jewish organizations on human rights have commented that how can an the u.s. continue to support israel inside of the council when they're not in it anymore. a year ago haley visited geneva the home of the human rights council urging major
5:38 am
reform before the u.s. pulled out of the body last week the u.s. put forward a proposal to its close allies on a way to reform it but they weren't even prepared to discuss the plan the ambassador herself wrote a letter to human rights groups last month our mission circulated a draft human rights council strengthening resolution to a small group of member states for edits to this date we've received not one written edit from a single member state. ambassador haley has been a key player in the trumpet ministrations policy of disruption on the international stage but some diplomats believe it may be beginning to backfire on some issues the u.s. may be finding it harder to persuade its allies and bully its adversaries here at the u.n. i think that especially on issues relating to the middle east the u.s. faces a crisis of credibility at the u.n.
5:39 am
and even its closest allies such as the u.k. are distancing themselves from american positions on iran and on israel and that is really making trump look very isolated. earlier this month in an effort to block a draft security council resolution on gaza ambassador haley tried to rally support begging fellow ambassadors to support her own rival draft but she was the only member of the security council to vote in favor of it increasingly at the u.n. the policy of america first seems to be resulting in america alone james al-jazeera of the united nations a judicial panel in iraq has ruled only suspect ballot boxes from last month's district disputed election will be recounted despite iraq's parliament mandating a nationwide manual recount ballot boxes from areas where there were allegations of fraud will be moved to baghdad for the manual count which will be held in front of
