accuse australia's government of failing to protect the great barrier reef. on these returning to office with sweeping new executive powers after a victory that he's calling a win for democracy international monitors of criticize the outcome of the presidential elections say the ruling party had unfair advantages he's main opposition rival. as conceded defeat but warned growing power is dangerous sunday's vote is in a powerful new executive presidency long sought by the one who insists there will be plenty of checks and balances. in be able to issue decrees but not on the issues where there's already a law in place the president also has the authority to appoint and remove ministers

and civil servants without parliament's approval and also to choose six members of the country's highest judicial authority parliament selects seven he can declare a state of emergency for up to six months but parliament can also short nor scrap that decision. and under the new constitution no one can run for another term which means he could stay in power for ten more years well let's go live now to jamal has been covering the election for us in ankara jamal part of the act party may have lost some ground in parliament but it was a big win for him the culmination really wasn't it of a long campaign to win a presidency with greater powers. indeed i mean there are two un sets this changing political system is part of the twenty twenty three vision that he set out for his party sets out which has been the underpin of several of their

recent elections and he argued that in order for turkey to transform and become one of the viciously ones to see as one of the ten most powerful nations on earth he needed a more centralized government is one that does away with some of the bureaucracy as he described it in times of the different hurdles that you would find in legislative bodies through the parliament and so forth and that's why they went for this it's important to not only see that this presidential system john was trolls in by the people albeit in an hour of victory but one that was through that referendum that took place a few months ago which scored roughly fifty one point two or three percent in favor of that presidential system now with these new powers obviously there comes those responsibilities as many would say the responsibility to prove that he is not there on some sort of power grab to ensure that he remains in power forever that he will be a president for all even those who didn't vote for him and that he will ensure that

the rights of those who oppose him will not be curtailed or will not be tampered or played with just because they have voice their opposition to him he seems to be heeding that at least verbally and he did make several overtures in his first public statement since that victory where he said he would not allow for discrimination psyche said that this was a victory for all turks and a celebration of democracy but obviously the proof is in the pudding in the sense that it is based on how he acts and the decrees that you will be issuing given how he will govern immediately that many will see is the clearest indication as to whether turkey is moving towards a strong states that is a state for all or a strong states that is only that there for those who supports roger tabor to run on the act party the main opposition candidate. has called the election unjust he says the new system is very dangerous and could lead to one man rule is that

fair warning do you think. well i mean it depends who you speak to in the end of the day the difference between those who voted for and injured his closest rival you're talking about more than ten million votes so the scope of popularity that's the one enjoys is undoubted obviously the opposition that exists is also very evident albeit that it is divided among several candidates several political parties injury would have enjoyed the same presidential powers that the two are now has had he won those yesterday's sunday's elections he says obviously that it is dangerous because there is more let's see a conference with a parliamentary system because there is always that's ability to ensure that you have even if they are minority political parties but those who could put those checks and balances are roadblocks in front of the ruling party if they needed to change things but it is those roadblocks that were hindering the progress of turkey

that as far as are the one is concerned it is important to wrap here that you know that the parliament now has one hundred more seats which is makes it a lot more diverse and maybe in that's there is some silver lining to the opposition ok. in turkey for us thanks for that we've been asking people in a stumble for their reaction to it one's reelection. i think that this is all to be beneficial for turkey in the hope that this new system of governance will be good for our country. i think it was quite surprising that the m.h.d. was able to in this mean the world's it is the will o' the people there's nothing more to say. our society is going through somewhat of a stockholm syndrome how long can we go with the current system i cheered for the opposition so i can see i'm very happy. now what does the election result mean for the kurds in turkey where the pro kurdish h d p party passed the election threshold to win almost twenty twelve percent of the six hundred seats in parliament they'll

a more united and prosperous turkey how to make that happen is a major question the ultra nationalist party m h p which most opposes kiddish empowerment has entered an alliance with the ruling party after winning eleven. of the six hundred seats in parliament the m h p counterbalances the kaddish m.p.'s the speed discourages any policy of reconciliation with the carrots which could further complicate the peace process kurdistan abrasions are the election results are a complete by worries about what the future holds in the new parliament in ankara. and dizzy. turkey. the libyan coast guard has picked up nine hundred forty eight african refugees and migrants in the mediterranean sea they include dozens of women and children they were taken to a naval base in the capital tripoli before being transferred to
