well cup win. resigning election victory for the turkish president will give him sweeping new powers. will extend his fifteen year rule after winning more than fifty percent of the vote it means he achieved his ambition of an executive presidency despite opposition warnings a one man rule jamal sheil reports now from ankara. yet again taber is victorious this success however will taste a lot sweeter for the man who's now won more than ten successive national polls since his party came to power in two thousand and two sunday's vote was a gamble by two one who hold for the early elections at a time when turkey's currency was at the weakest it's been in years but it seems to have paid off for. the man whose name has now become almost synonymous with that of
8:02 am
his country addressing his supporters at a undescribed sunday as a victory for all of turkey will say see me golly be 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 box and casting their votes and i want to thank everybody you are writing history going into the vote it seemed that's a galvanized opposition could prevent iran from winning in the first round forcing a runoff that could possibly pose a bigger threat to his quest to become the first president under the new constitution the main content democratic i'm in jail of the c.h.p. had tried to garner support from all sections of society he would the religious basis by thuppakki joining prayers in some cities and attempted to reach out to the right wing blocs by promising to expel millions of syrian refugees if elected but as large as injuries crowds were or those of erdogan in the end what mattered were
8:03 am
the numbers of ballots cost in their favor turks were have a proud tradition of high voter turnout did not disappoint early indications were that more than eighty six percent of them participated voting not only for president with new powers but also for a new parliament with one hundred more members while our two ones our party were boyens with the presidential victory there will be disappointment over their parliamentary performance with the a.k.p. losing the two thirds supermajority they once held only managing to secure a simple majority with the help of their nationalist m.h.d. allies the big winners in the parliamentary votes where the kurdish h.t.t.p. winning over fifty seats making just new legislative body more diverse than the previous one and it's that who really isn't that many in turkey will hope can help bridge the political divide that continues to affect turkish society speaking to the nation i don't seem to understand those concerns. we're his jim sin and.
8:04 am
no one should be discriminated against in this country because of their belief because of their gender or because of their origins we will not allow this. the opposition will be disappointed that they were unable to at least force a second round of voting they will take part however from their improved performance in the parliament and the fact that a relatively unknown president like was able to secure a thirty percent in such an important election with the big three i do not own a home run figure. what efficient sarky the day the first time for. years now i can. possibly even see the other side he was coming from out of the difficult because. recent history no one. will be trying to kill. him.
8:05 am
but it's a call. this is not. uncommon let's look in more detail now at the numbers with nearly older ballots counted everyone took slightly more than fifty two percent of the vote in a field of six candidates whose main challenger was more in shape 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.t.t.p. cell eighteen demi attash took eight percent it was the first time chose their president and parliament at once so far a.k.p. is leading with forty three percent the c.h.p. a second with nearly twenty three percent in the h.t.t.p. will be the third largest party with just over eleven percent of the vote to bennett smith now for reaction from the opposition c.h.p. 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
8:06 am
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 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.
8:07 am
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. hundreds of african migrants have been rescued by the libyan coast guard in the mediterranean sea dozens of women and children or among those saved in the first operation of the day they were taken to a naval base in the capital tripoli and then a refugee camp in the town of columns one of those rescued said an italian vessel that refused to pick them up. sixteen leaders have held an emergency meeting on migration ahead of a big summit later this week they're pushing for a solution to the deadlock over who should take in migrants and refugees landing on european soil here's dominic cain. as they posed for the cameras in brussels the central question being posed to e.u. leaders was if they could find
8:08 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 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 only 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 films 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
8:09 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 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.

8:25 am
out of the paris climate agreement iran deal the un's cultural agency unesco and cutting all funding for annorah the part of the un that hell. palestinians most recently 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 i mean 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. 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 reform before the u.s. pulled out of the body last week the u.s.
8:26 am
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 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
8:27 am
really making trump look very isolated. earlier this month in an effort to block a draft security council resolution on gaza ambassador hayley 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 disputed election will be recounted now that's despite iraq's parliament mandating a nationwide manual recount ballot boxes from areas where there were allegations of fraud well they'll be moved to baghdad the manual recount which will be held in front of a u.n. representatives today for the recount has not yet been set. and in fact england produced one of their best performances at the world cup on sunday the six one
