documentary film. so he's president strengthens his grip on power with a decisive election victory. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching al-jazeera live from my headquarters here in doha also coming up an emergency e.u. summit on europe's migrant crisis ends with few signs of an agreement. the fight for yemen strategically important port city gets closer to the city center as you see forces fired rockets at the saudi capital. displaced families

from tehran set up makeshift camps in the desert while russian airstrikes rained on the syrian province. a resoundingly lection victory for the turkish president which will give him sweeping new powers. would extend his fifteen year rule after winning more than fifty percent of the vote yes what he had to say. the winners of this election are the eighty one million turkish citizens of this country each and every one is a 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 a huge turnout in this election very few countries have had such high turnouts and there's they show how strong we are in our democracy and it shows how our people defend democracy. jamal has more now from the a key piece 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 projects a bit over one only he did the first round. and to secure a second term as president you know now the difference between him and the polls is consistent i don't change a one hundred ten million votes now in the first statement made by president but the favored one those results came through he said that you will vote for the president for all charges from his that he would not allow for anybody to be discriminated against inside surjeet just because of the political leading who they voted for their ethnic background they're obviously when it comes with that background one of the ethnic minorities just like you to go to my knowledge you found sunday to be a joyful day for them because their parties you think you wanted to cross the temple said just holding your thank you howard i mean obviously he's elections on

sunday were not just for the presidency they were for the parliament as well jones also part of the chief both young 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 son. per majority the two thirds majority which would allow for them to continue in terms of making fun situational changes so that's something that they will try and play down but obviously is see it 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 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 fits and it will require votes

from the members of parliament there but i do want speaking to the crowds after that victory said that she was cool or promised that he was going to transform turkey each 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 established democracies not just in the region but obviously in western europe so a significant day a significant election to say the least here and so on. ok staying with the story let's look in detail at the numbers with nearly all the ballots now counted in stirred on took slightly more than fifty two percent of the vote in the field of six candidates his main challenger was more inchy from the c.h.p. party who drew millions to his rallies but only polled thirty percent the imprisoned leader of the pro kurdish h.d. peace me attash took eight percent it was the first time turks chose their

president and parliament at the same time so far as a k.p. is leading with forty three percent the c.h.p. is second with nearly twenty three percent and the h d p will be the third largest party with just over eleven percent of the vote to burnet smith now for reaction from the opposition c.h.p. had horses. there's frustration and disappointment here the republican people's party headquarters the t.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 n.j. has not really got over about thirty percent of the vote so a lot of disappointment here that the opposition will say that they never started 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 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 parliament 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 off to. college but a con at is the research director of the foundation in washington pieces turkey's transition into an executive presidency will be

a complex process. first of all are gone already stated in the campaign that he prepared the transition process for the executive presidency so we will see a rapid transform asian period to the presidency and it will be complicated it will have a lot of bureaucratic causes that would include changing the current state of government actually the prime minister's office which has been the most powerful office in four long years will be abolished and it will be the president's office there will be changes in the parliament so it will be a transition process that will require hard work. in other news sixteen e.u. leaders have held an emergency meeting on migration ahead of a big summit later this week now they're pushing for solutions to the deadlock taken migrants and refugees landing on european soil is dominic came. as they posed for the cameras in brussels the central question being posed to e.u.

leaders was if they could find 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 a 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 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 giuseppe conti 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.

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 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. same question the question is always what's going to happen to my child if i get deported. am i going to be reunited

that helps palestinians most recently she announced the u.s. 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 korea. 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 us continue to support israel inside of the council when they're not in it anymore. a year ago hailee visited geneva the home of the human rights council urging major reform before the us 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. of the 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 un i think that especially on issues relating to the middle east the u.s. faces a crisis of credibility at the u.n. . 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. thousands of people have been protesting in the remaining capital after one of the country's most powerful politicians was sentenced for official misconduct the rallies came after the ruling social democrat leader was given a three and a half year jail term for abuse of power in office leave you dry news party says he's innocent pending a final verdict. tens of thousands of moldova nse have 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 a no brainer dioceses electoral win earlier this month the e.u. and the us a both condemned the ruling stars he has accused the court of being
