9:00 pm
you have a your. this is al-jazeera. hello there i'm joe good to have you with us on this the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes took his president is reelected with sweeping new powers as the opposition concedes defeat urging him to be president for all. italy and libya look for common ground to resolve europe and north africa is migration crisis. yes school aging battle over land in central nigeria two hundred people are killed in three days of fighting between farmers and hurdles.
9:01 pm
and i'm tatiana hall with the latest from the world cup in russia and iran had the chance to opt that kristan aren't and his portugal team. to pull off a major shock. to. do on his 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 election saying the ruling party had unfair advantages is main opposition rival has conceded defeat but warned the growing power is dangerous for sunday's vote in the powerful new executive presidency long sought by the one who insists there will be plenty of checks and balances he will now be able to issue
9:02 pm
decrees not only issues where there's already a law in place the president also has the authority to appoint and remove ministers and civil servants without parliaments approval and he can also choose six members of the country's highest judicial or thora the while parliament gets to select seven he can declare a state of emergency for up to six months but parliament can shorten or scrap a decision like that and under the new constitution can run for another term which means he could stay in power for ten more years well let's go live to shiloh who's in ankara covering the election for us deval mr erdogan will be pleased presumably with his when parliament is never a thing he would have hoped for but he has finally realized the product of a long long campaign a presidency with greater powers. indeed i mean i do one and the act party who are widely credited for the shift in terms of the economic development
9:03 pm
that turkey has witnessed over the past decade had been saying that in order for the country to move even further considering the relative economic stagnation they've witnessed in the past say twelve months or two years or so one of the main hindrances to. developments will further developments was the way in which the political system was. preventing rapid growth and they were saying the reason for that was that there was a two heads that were governing the states won the presidency in the other the parliament they said in order to make things a lot more efficient they needed a strong centralized government and that's why they were pushing for the presidential system the first hurdle to get that was getting the people to agree to that system and they did that in the referendum which was voted on a few months ago and approved for it the second hurdle would be for them to be those in power for are to on himself to be the person in power ones that new
9:04 pm
presidential system was approved and he did manage to do that even though there was a resurgence opposition in the closing days or weeks before that poll now the onus is on him to prove his critics wrong that critics have been saying that he was trying to use this to grab onto power so the onus is on him to prove that he is actually going to be a president for everybody else and strong woods in the aftermath of the election from one of his chief critics the opposition candidate not a mean shape who called the election and just who said that it was very dangerous this new system with in the presidency and could lead to one man rule do you think that's fair criticism. well it depends who you speak to the interesting thing is that injury came out so obviously defiant in the beginning he refused to accept defeat when the results came out late on sunday and then eventually did concede however with those parting shots as you mentioned saying that you know this was a dangerous step for turkey would be interesting to juxtapose his comments with those
9:05 pm
of president are the one who actually struck a very considerate tone despite his victory and renewed mandates he said that he was going to be a president for all the good that he would not allow for any form of discrimination inside turkey based on political leanings or even in the origins obviously because turkey is made up of different ethnic origins there so on the one hand you do have the opposition continuing to voice their criticism and concerns so to speak but you have had a much more war more role coming message coming out of the presidency one saying that's too and will now move forward this is a victory for everybody a victory of democracy and he will indeed be a president for all turks ok jim i'll sheil thank you well many observers were surprised by the size of a victory and it smith takes a look at how things went wrong for the main opposition party.
9:06 pm
it all looked so promising for to the center left opposition party in the days before sunday's elections such as here in his mia but looks can be deceptive now my how time in j. and the republican people's party have to work out how they can ever successfully challenge an even more powerful president. and his ak party ambushed us through the a.g.m. is the new regime just takes effects from today only words is a major danger for turkey a single party or a single person becoming the state and at the same time the executive legislative and the judiciary is a problem of existence in itself and will continue to be a major danger for to keep it. charismatic and crowd pleasing n.j. won thirty percent of votes which missed his only minimum target by five percent he'd hoped to force a second round run off with her to one why lynch it in cheney is the only one to have increased the c.h.p. vote but he copied earlier ones one men rule approach so he lost potential votes from the ak party voters who had enough of that sort of thing he should have sold
9:07 pm
themselves as part of a team and focused more on the economy the c.h.p. and other opposition parties will need to revitalize demoralize supporters. i'm not quite sure how much worse it should get to increase opposition votes we build up our hopes on the c.h.p. each election we are disappointed in and get it done more i mean jay was very good but the c.h.p. needs to reform it has to co-create with other parties and prioritize the national interests another challenge for the opposition parties is making their voice heard in a parliament now stripped of much of its power to hold to account a government run by a president with strengthened executive powers in this election campaign the opposition mainly tried to persuade voters that have been in power too long they didn't say much about what the alternatives looked like the c.h.p. will say that was because calling early elections gave them a little time well now they've up to five years to work out what their vision of
9:08 pm
turkey would be but it's with al-jazeera anchor where we're joined now to talk more about this from washington by joshua walker a fellow at the u.s. think tank german marshall fund and a former advisor to the state department on turkey thanks for thanks for speaking to us so mr erdogan gets his presidency with enhanced executive powers overall broadly speaking a good thing for turkey do you think or. you know i think as the package just pointed out it's really hard to figure out what's good for turkey at this point in time i think stability is a good things on that case that's a good thing but the economy has not improved yet in the question is what comes next in some ways i expect president to want to charm offensive really try to work with the western allies to bring them back because the criticism against them was particularly harsh here in washington and in other capitals in europe so he has is he has this kind of steps laid out ahead of him that would be a challenge i mean that referendum the granted in those powers that the election of no meds now made concrete was hardly a sweeping victory in itself would be
9:09 pm
a lot of to presume ability bracing themselves now to see how he wields this additional power and whether there is to be a sort of the slide into or sort of terrorism that's the sort of the opposition would say well. i think those are all fair points i think before the election we were all focused on whether the kurdish party would make it into parliament a lot of us didn't pay attention to the ultra nationalists actually the ultra nationalists are now the king makers they are the reason the type aragorn is now firmly the driver seat yes he won the presidency outright but in parliament he needs that in h.p. support so will be more horsetrading will that actually moderate the president or that only make him even more nationalistic and more aggressive to the detriment of kind of turkish society it's already a very polarized place it could be fascinating to see how it moves forward from here i mean there were interesting dynamics were there in the electorate in building that ultra nationalist support a lot of this was about identity politics about how to see themselves particularly how they see themselves in the eye of
9:10 pm
a sort of western storm of criticism. i think that's absolutely right when you look at the western coverage in the way in which western leaders have delayed calling president on that is going to play into this narrative that aired on is kind of the everyday man that's defending conservative islamic values in the world and in turkey and it kind of adds to that myth that legend that's there but to the secular polarized elite it's going to make things even worse is going to be hard to compromise in a work with them so how everyone comes out of this election the key appointments he makes you know again this is the first time we've seen this in history the presidents of whiteman's to the foreign minister to the economic mess are these positions matter more than we've ever seen and how parliament is going to cooperate with this new executive presidency is still yet to be seen it will be absolutely consequential so this election results are absolute definitive but how what comes next might be even more important one leader who did cool him to congratulate him of course was glad to be of putin. to if you have a sort of uneasy but relatively stable alliance with the e.u.
9:11 pm
we see now a shift towards another sort of power dynamic certainly when you look at the ultra nationalism and also some of the supporters of area one they've been pushing him more towards a eurasian if you and working more with russia or china because strongman leaders in those countries are presidents for life it's easier to work with them working with the west right now it's hard who does he talk to who is a western leader that has power even someone like chancellor merkel that continues to be one of the strongest leaders in germany is in a really weak position right now donald trump although kind of putting off the errors doesn't have the support of washington the divides between the pentagon state department is issue it's going to be hard moving forward and i think everyone is going to be under a lot of pressure domestically to deliver on the agenda he just promised and kind of take turkey not only towards the e.u. for economic benefits but also as a global power and make sure that the west gives him the respect that the circus people now expect that he deserves just to relieve a former u.s. state department advisor into if you many thanks for your time thanks for having me
9:12 pm
. right you are watching the al-jazeera news hour and still to come. on dearie denies allegations it left more than thirteen thousand migrants in the sahara desert without food or water. ethiopia's new prime minister vows to press on with reforms despite narrowly escaping a grenade attack rally two days ago. and in sport will composts russia suffer their first defeat of the tournament details coming up. the libyan coast guard has picked up one 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 a refugee camp in the town of homs one of those rescued said and it italian vessel
9:13 pm
had refused to pick them up. or the latest rescue operation comes as the italian deputy prime minister and interior minister matteo salvini was in tripoli for talks about the migration crisis he said he'll do everything possible to help libya stem the flow of migrants to europe salvini met libya's interior minister in tripoli on his first official overseas trip he's already begun rolling out hardline policies against migration at home on sunday he ordered foreign charities to stop rescuing people from the waters off libya. we believe that it should only be the libyan authorities who control libyan waters blocking non-government organizations from these borders who want to replace governments and help illegal immigrants. but we reassured italy in 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
9:14 pm
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 of its aspect. as more from tripoli. both parties the turley and interior minister met any and the libyan deputy prime minister. have highlighted efforts made by libya's coast guard. in terms of controlling the human smuggling and illegal migration through the mediterranean also we understand that during the last year the number of illegal migrants reaching italy via the mediterranean sea and sailing from libyan shores has fallen dramatically that also
9:15 pm
that that is partly thanks to their italian support to libya's coast guard we understand that since july of last year the italian navy vessels have been docked in a navy base here in the capital tripoli to provide technical support maintenance and training to libya's coast guard and also we understand that this visit foreign minister silvio which is the furthest for civility could be an extension to the memorandum of understanding the agreement that was sealed by libya's prime minister face of russia and the italian former prime minister polish into lonny in rome in february of last year and by virtue of that memorandum of understanding the libyan side should receive funds and technical support and maintenance and also training from the italian side but being the italian vessels being dumped here at the
9:16 pm
navy base in tripoli that has raised concerns at the arrival of the libyan rebel administration in the east of the country well let's talk more about european migration policy martin forest director of the overseas to. relevant initiative which is a global think tank working for peace and sustainability thanks for joining us in the studio. vini of the far right italian leader now interior minister on an outreach trip to libya he's at the forefront along with people like oban in hungary of a big anti migration drive tearing really european policy apart why is it that the european union doesn't seem to be able to come up with a more sustainable coherent unified policy that isn't simply closing borders and keeping people out. thank you it has been a problem since the so-called cries of the thousand and fifteen and we have seen the european union has a whole as a as a political platform failing to come up with
9:17 pm
a unified response to the then crisis and today's realities of migration from africa i think the time has come to perhaps explore alternatives to the ideas that the only alternative to solving is an or bones national is rhetoric is an e.u. wide response with twenty eight member states for the time being i don't see being able to come to a collective agreement you mention or burn think of there is a maze percolation with rex it is hard to imagine how these twenty eight states could at this point in time so what is an alternative planets will be and is one that i'm going there as mention as she stepped out of the so-called mini summit on some on sunday the time has come for in a number of countries smaller in a smaller group of countries she mentioned bilateral and trilateral deals for countries actually share common interests be them political or economic going out in the geographical to agree in an alternative more pragmatic response to water
9:18 pm
problems that clearly affect their own national interests and their own national borders for example for a number of years the reality of our rivals by sea has been larger delta by individual countries greece in two thousand and fifteen italy up until now now that selene is pulling the plug so to speak and closing the ports we've seen spain coming out stepping up to the plate how about countries that are on the mediterranean sea agreeing a system to shared responsibility for robbers rather than assuming that one country alone can deal with the problem and then run into the political reasons i mean earlier than france a fine idea but i mean we've heard much the speak we've heard right wing politicians in greece we've heard the view voiced time and again that simply this is gone on too long shouldered the burden alone for too. long it seems unrealistic to me that this small group of countries would agree to share simply among themselves they want everybody involved or none of it at all i couldn't agree more
9:19 pm
so our rivals from you know that c. is only one aspect of the phenomena the other aspects are of course political and economic now here you have leaders like merkel and mccrone who risk you know big political domestic political turmoil in their own countries and unless they do find ways of sharing some elements at least of the migration problems in europe we've seen how america has come under attack for acting alone and not managing the other to follow suit i think even across on you know leaves america isolated if the two don't come up with some sort of an alliance of something about it both of them risk their political going to quite dangerous sort of shifting political dynamic within the e.u. or house issue because mccrum we saw him getting into trouble with the italians when he voiced his criticism as it was swiftly slapped down for turning people away his own borders merkel has had her problems with her coalition the whole debate seems to be shifting to the right can it be brought back to a center ground precisely because it is shifting to the right and we have heard the
9:20 pm
austin government calling for a similar idea of the so-called cold axes of the willing of those that bring very strong and to make ration propositions on the table so easy it is therefore even more important that those who are prepared interested and also there have been a risk political failure if they don't come from that and in fact we've seen what happened in italy how quickly sort of the nationalist in the national parties have have taken power so i think it is precisely because there is that risk and is now happened in number of countries that the reason need to respond with an alternative coalition that can try to propose an alternative in this alternative has got to be pragmatic and not idealistic this is not a matter of open european borders to everybody and everyone see what happened in this country in the u.k. a couple of weeks ago where the. whether. the home office has to lift the skilled migration cap to allow. doctors or nurses to come to the u.k.
9:21 pm
because there is an effective shortage so you can imagine in a number of countries the fact that there may well be specific needs the local economies have the particular profile of migrant workers and therefore cooperate in some some forms of visa regime system to allow at least some as in a some legal migration to take place where and if it makes sense importantly the cries for migration to europe is manageable the numbers have fallen we're talking about forty thousand their rivals three tilley from july sixth seventeen to july eighteenth the death rate is taking that's right that which actually makes it even more urgent and i don't think that there is one single european leader that can take the risk of more that and humanitarian crisis at sea so the manageable numbers of arrivals the urgent need to save people's lives and the fact that migration is a reality it is not going to go away in my mind should be sufficient for at least some leaders some countries to step up to these new deals anglo-american and others
9:22 pm
have been calling for let's let's wait and see but a first of many thanks for your time algeria has been accused of abandoning more than thirteen thousand refugees and migrants in the sahara desert the un says they include pregnant women and children who've been left without food or water denies the allegations which it says a part of the militias campaign victoria reports. disorientated dehydrated these migrants have just been deported by algeria border guards and dumped in neighboring misha the nearest village is a fifteen kilometer walk in the sahara desert and they have no food or water. the un migration agency says algeria has expelled an estimated thirteen thousand migrants in this way in the last forty months janet camara whose liberian was pregnant when she was deported last month she suffered a miscarriage while walking in the desert she buried her baby in

9:41 pm
about twenty minutes time it is going to be opened by the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists the top showing i think the importance perhaps even the desperation of the situation because they know that if they don't get the money soon then they're going to have to curtail some of their operations in a matter of weeks affecting some of the health clinics they run some of the seven hundred schools they run in the west bank in gaza and in neighboring countries where they're dealing with palestinian refugees earlier i spoke to pierre crown bull he is the commissioner general the head of honor and he told me he was most concerned about the situation in gaza. i was really deeply marked by my last visit to the gaza strip because i went to the hospitals i went to health care centers and i saw the number of young people injured through the use of live ammunition. many of the injuries very severe to the lower limbs ankles knees and. you know
