office with sweeping new powers after an election victory that he's calling a win for democracy he secured a. presidential poll to avoid a runoff against his main opposition rival his party val to continue its struggle. reports from. yet again red tape 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 erdogan who hold for the early elections at a time when turkey's currency was 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 his country addressing his supporters described sunday as a victory. all of turkey will say see me golly be the winners of this election are
5:02 pm
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 concern democratic i'm in jail of the c.h.p. had tried to garner support from all sections of society he would the religious bases 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 the numbers of ballots cost in their favor turks will have a proud tradition of high voter turnout did not disappoint our early indications
5:03 pm
were that more than eighty six percent of them participated while our two ones our party were 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.p. allies the big winners in the parliamentary votes were the kurdish h d 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. he's jim sinegal. 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. your
5:04 pm
position will be disappointed that they were unable to at least force a second round of voting they will take heart however from their improved performance in the parliament and the fact that a relatively unknown person like angie was able to secure thirty percent in such an important election. joins us now live from the main opposition candidate has conceded defeat but what was his message for adeline while he definitely didn't go out of this without a fight in the sense that even when he conceded defeat laura he still had some parting shots or not necessarily parting because he promised that's him and the c.h.p. and his opposition would continue the fight against roger tabor the one he said that turkey had now gone from this parliamentary more democratic system as he described it through a presidential system in the dangers of the one man rule nor for terrorism and all the other criticisms that have been leveled against the act party as they continued
5:05 pm
towards that change in the political system obviously skeptics would say that participated in these elections he would have had the same power as one has had he won and it was those that shift in the political system that was actually voted upon by the turkish people nonetheless he said that it was a very dangerous moment and now in turkish history and he described it as something that was damaging or eroding to turkish democracy. on each of us there is a huge threat facing turkey the powers of the state legislative judiciary and executive in the hands of one person is a huge danger turkey has severed its traditional link with a parliamentary system there are factors which threaten our social peace we are now going into one man's regime there is no systemic mechanism of rules in this state about what have you been hearing from election observers about the slaves. well you know there were hundreds actually thousands of election observers from
5:06 pm
both the local n.g.o.s national n.g.o.s obviously in the political parties participating but also from the european union and international observers now one of the more established bodies is the always see that's a european it's a body made up of european officials that come to observe all of turkey's elections they held a press conference in the past hour and they said whilst the vote was largely free and fair they were critical of the media coverage in the build up to these elections they said that it was skewed in favor of rigid paper due on the said that when you come to compare the year time that was given to those in favor overdub say about about as opposed to those who were competing against him there was no equal playing field as they describe this and that prevented voters from accessing the full messages of everybody they were also critical of the fact that two of their of severus were not allowed to enter the country but that cyclists government had
5:07 pm
established and released documents which would as far as they were concerned prove that these were not independent observers they were certain posts made on social media and other public platforms by these observers that were very biased and critical of such importance a call factions within turkey and therefore the turkish government said that the it was impossible for somebody who held those views and made them public to be an independent observer and nonetheless there is criticism in terms of the media landscape here in turkey partially because the private sector most of it is private sector in terms of the different channels is owned by businessmen and those are allied with the act party they are proud to say well that is a free market it's open for people to buy and purchase channels as and when they wish and therefore it's not their fault that businessmen choose to support them to critics would say well even in the states run organizations and institutions like t.r.t. and so forth there has been disparity although there is still been
5:08 pm
a platform given through the opposition figures but. aside from this criticism over all the observers have said this was a generally largely free and fair process in practice of democratic rights in terms of voting for both the presidency and the parliament ok reporting there from. now libya's un backed government has flatly rejected setting up asylum seeker processing centers on its soil casting doubt over an plan to tackle its migration crisis european leaders are considering screening refugees and migrants for their asylum eligibility centers that will be established across north africa including libya the main transit point the plan would discourage people from trying to cross the mediterranean sea. it has proven to be useful it has brought results and this is why we are asking for more money from member states to the trust fund africa and i believe yesterday the exchanges were positive in this direction i hope that
5:09 pm
member states will put money in the trust fund for africa because this has been the instrument with which we have managed to put in place very important work that has growth results that needs to be strengthened so that's why your money but following talks with terrorism is the motto salvini libya's deputy prime minister said such processing centers are not an option inside his country's borders. but we reassured italy and europe that libya is ready in its plan to deal with migration we agree in many areas when it comes to illegal migration however we refused completely uncategorically the creation of any camps inside libya for illegal migrants this issue is forbidden under libyan law and it does not apply in any rights aspect. since two thousand and seventeen almost three thousand migrants and refugees have drowned trying to make it to europe by sea most of them left from libyan shores. has more from tripoli what else was discussed.
5:10 pm
both parties the italian interior minister vini and the libyan deputy prime minister. have highlighted the efforts made by libya's calls to god in terms of controlling their illegal migration human is smuggling and human track trafficking vita the mediterranean sea we understand that the number of migrants reaching italy via the mediterranean from libya to tours have fallen dramatically during the last year especially after italian navy vessels have been docked in a navy bases in the capital tripoli to provide technical support maintenance and training to their patrols belonging to libya's coast guard also at
5:11 pm
this visit is the furthest for mr vinnie and it could be an extension to the agreement the member in them of understanding that was sealed by the libyan prime minister face alive and therefore the italian former prime minister a gentlemanly in the war in february last year and by virtue of that agreement the libyan side should receive funds and technical training in order to contain and control their illegal migration via the mediterranean. eight people have been killed in ongoing violence in central nigeria bringing the number of dead over the past three days to ninety four the fighting in central plateau state involves mostly muslim herders and christian farmers president obama due to hari has called for calm and imposed a twenty four hour curfew in the area the decades old conflict over land has

5:21 pm
within government agencies on how to reunite parents with their children that are still separated the u.s. government says there are more than two thousand children still in shelters such shelters such as this one that you see behind me children that have not yet been reunited with their with their parents over the weekend the u.s. government released some new information in terms of how they're trying to expedite the reunification they say they've set up a task force to try to help government agencies do this they've also have a hotline now that detained asylum seeking parents in theory can call to try to get more information about their children and they also said that they have set up a huge detention facility in a very remote part of texas that they say this facility will be the main place where family reunification will happen we went there however and spoke to lawyers who are inside and they say they saw very little evidence that this was actually
5:22 pm
happening. 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 priscilla tate the reunification of parents and children separated by authorities after crossing into the u.s. seeking asylum it's located in the middle of 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
5:23 pm
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 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
5:24 pm
me am i going to be reunited with my child do you know where my child is it's 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 according to a new pew poll seventy five percent of americans think immigration to the united states is a good thing that's the highest number since two thousand and one also the majority of americans are against the trumpet ministrations policy of separating asylum seeking families at the border a policy that president trump reversed last week so all indications are that perhaps the trump administration's policy on hardline immigration stance could be backfiring. u.s. president little trump will be welcoming king abdullah of jordan at the white house in the coming hours and they're expected to discuss washington's peace plan for the israel palestine conflict. in the middle east and son in law gerard krishna has
5:25 pm
been in the region to gauge support for the plan he says the trouble ministration is almost on that finalizing it will go ahead with or without the support of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas a white house correspondent kimberly helped get us more jordanian kings and washington to meet with donald trump the meeting expected to be about one hour not much time to influence the decision making of the u.s. president to and what will be contained in that peace plan set to be revealed by the administration in the coming weeks as the jordanian king we know will be conveying the message that in order to maintain or to achieve regional stability in the middle east the plan needs to contain a commitment to the two state solution that a palestinian independent state is the only viable option based on one nine hundred sixty seven borders now certainly we've seen the king tried to influence the trumpet ministration in the past somewhat unsuccessfully with regard to its decision to go ahead and move its embassy the u.s.
5:26 pm
embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem but certainly the king does have some leverage when it comes to the u.s. led coalition to defeat eisel the white house views jordan as being critical in that effort but it is not clear just how much weight or how much pull the jordanian king will have when it comes to influence in the decision on the mideast peace plan . environmental organizations are paying pressure on the u.n. to investigate what they describe as a strain is failure to protect the great barrier reef they present to the un as the unesco world heritage committee meets him behind a warming is seen as a major factor in the death of large parts of the reef but environmentalist also accuse the strain his government of adding to the problem this agricultural and mining policies engines of tovan is the great barrier reef campaign director at a stray marine conservation society she says the government has broken his promise to improve water quality by giving the ok from land clearing what happens when and
5:27 pm
it's cleared which is mainly is done well grazing development is that it leaves the sewer exposed and you get a heavy rainfall it results in the small washing off water courses that inflow into the great barrier reef and discharge large volumes of wind then instead of dirty water. and harleston other organisms need clear water to thrive very dirty water also can smother the corals the grasses and other organisms directly it can lead to increased elbow growth at the expense of coral growth and can also exacerbate operates early to chrono starfish so all of its tree clearing and the far station very bad after the great barrier is l. so we're asking. the world heritage and. history and i asked the governor what it's actually doing to produce this problem to
