1am in london and 3am in istanbul, where president recep tayyip erdogan has claimed victory in the country's presidential and parliamentary elections. victory would give him additional powers under a new constitution, but after a closely fought race the opposition has not yet accepted defeat. our turkey correspondent mark lowen reports from istanbul. his diehard believers never doubted it. but still, they savoured it. never doubted it. the devotees of a president who looks to be cemented in power. results from the state news agency showing he has won another five—year term. polls had suggested he had struggled to win outright and could have

faced a runoff. translation: he means everything to us. turkey would have been lost without him. it would have ceased to exist. all of them is happy, so i am happy. one half of the turkish people is not happy, the other half of turkish people. but it is all turkish people, brothers like this. relief for turkey's strongman, who has claimed victory. if the results are confirmed, he will adopt sweeping new powers, scrapping the post of prime minister, ruling with decrees and choosing most seniorjudges, turkey's most powerful leader since its founding father, ataturk. translation: the unofficial results of the elections have become clear. according to these i have been entrusted by the nation of the tasks and duties of the presidency. but the opposition has cried foul, the candidate of the centre—left galvanised the campign and was widely believed to have forced him to a second round. he and his party say the newsagency announced results before ballot boxes were opened.

millions of votes, they say, are still to be counted. translation: don't believe the results been announced right now, it is the actual data. i tell you the real result. if this process goes on like this, there will be a second round. voting passed off relatively peacefully, with queues at polling stations across turkey. turnout was 87%. whatever can be said about the state of turkish democracy, this is a nation that cherishes its right to have a say in it. after 16 years, probably a change may be on the rise. isn't it time for a change after 16 years of ak party? no. why not? translation: because i am happy with them, because i trust them, because i believe that

stability should continue. and so, once side that believes a result and will celebrate long into the night, but another refuses to accept it, accusing the state machine of creating a false reality. this pivotal, polarised society is on dangerous ground. mark lowen reporting there. our other top stories: the eu's migrant crisis is back in the spotlight. this is the latest migrant rescue ship in the mediterranean to be refused permission to dock by italy and malta. european union leaders met in brussels on sunday, and agreed that countries on the front line of migrant routes cannot be left to carry the burden alone. as the bbc‘s katya adler explains from brussels, it was the leaders of italy and germany asking the most of their european colleagues. voters in both countries are more worried than ever about migration

and in both countries, to different extents, we have seen the rise of top migration politicians so today's minisummit, those countries turn around and say, we are all in this together and as we saw today and will see in the formal summit of leaders in brussels this week, they will always agree something needs to be done about irregular migration but they disagree about exactly what and but they disagree about exactly what a nd exa ctly but they disagree about exactly what and exactly how. also this hour — president trump has called for migrants who enter the united states illegally to be sent home immediately, without a trial. writing on twitter, he said people could not be allowed to "invade" the country. it follows an international outcry over the us government policy of separating more than two thousand children from their parents. at least 32 people have been killed in central mali during an attack by a group of traditional hunters, known as dozo. it's the latest violence in the mopti region, where there's a history of tension over land. the prime minister of france, edouard philippe, is on a four—day visit to china, aimed

at building on the foundations of president macron‘s trip to the country earlier in the year. mr philippe says he wants to cement bilateral ties and promote business partnership between the two countries. britain's prince william has arrived in the jordanian capital, amman, for the start of an historic five—day middle east tour. the duke of cambridge will travel to israel and the occupied palestinian territories, the first time a member of the royal family has officially visited on behalf of the british government. and as south korea moves closer to banning dog meat, diners in southwestern china are tucking into bowls of stewed canine as part of a popular annual event. it's estimated that around 10,000 to 15,000 thousand dogs are killed every year for the yulin dog meat fest, a tradition which marks the summer solstice. when more than 700,000 rohingya refugees fled from myanmar

last autumn, there were widespread reports of rape and sexual assault by the burmese military. aid agencies warned that unwanted pregnancies would result in hundreds, perhaps thousands, of babies being given up for adoption. our south asia correspondent danjohnson has been to the refugee camps in bangladesh to examine the legacy of sexual violence. she is only a week old. she doesn't even have a name yet. but the joy of her precious new life is tinged by the long shadow of what her mother endured. the worst cruelty inflicted on the most vulnerable people. translation: the soldiers called me before i could borrow —— translation: the soldiers caught me before i could run away. they raped me and then that night, i was raped again. they did it again the next morning, and that afternoon. she told us she escaped but was recaptured and raped many more times.

eventually, she was helped across the border. then she discovered she was pregnant. she faced the toughest of dilemmas and all this atjust 17 years old. translation: to have an abortion would have been the same. so would giving my baby away. they committed a sin. i didn't do anything wrong. her grandparents are the only family she has left. her parents are missing, presumed dead. amongst hundreds of thousands of refugees, aid workers prepare for a wave of unwanted babies but so far, the numbers have been low. the biggest fear is that these children will grow up with a stigma attached to them.

any child born at this time of year risks that stigma. we are working extremely hard to build in a safety support system for these children so they can grow up with the best possible chance. so many have been marked by sexual violence. all these women have stories of rape and beatings, husbands and children killed. this woman miscarried after being raped. she told me she wanted the baby because her two sons had been murdered. of course, it's difficult for us to check these accounts but so many of them are so similar. there are two big unknowns here. the first is just how many people are we talking about? it's hard to be precise about the number of women who were raped, the number of women who may have had abortions and the number of children who have born in this situation and may have been given up. and the other big question isjustice. will there actually be any sort of investigation? will never ever be accountability for these crimes? the trauma touches so many lives, and its impact is long—lasting.

translation: how could they do such a thing to me? if this didn't happen, i would have got married and lived dan johnson, bbc news. korean war veterans are gathering in the capital seoul on monday to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the beginning of the korean war. technically, the two koreas are still at war, but in the last few months the mood music has changed considerably. our correspondent sophie long has more from seoul. today, we are expecting the prime minister of south korea to give a speech to crowds here in seoul. last year on this day, he urged north korea to stop its development of missile and nuclear programmes and come out on the path to denuclearisation. what a difference a year makes. we are told this year

the title of his speech will be peace and prosperity on the korean peninsular. it's been a remarkable three months. it's the first of january that the north korean leader came out and offered an olive branch to south korea and since then, a number of summits. the leaders met in april and they pledged to turn the armistice agreement into a peace treaty which would bring that war to a close. some people think that is a little ambitious but we have had that historic summit since between the president of the united states and north korea and there has been several steps, albeit small but significant steps, towards the pathway to denuclearisation. we'll be hearing from the prime minister of south korea here and there will be a meeting between north and south koreans the border talking about reconnecting fully the lines of communications. over the weekend, we had an announcement from the pentagon

saying they would stop, postpone joint military exercises which are seen as provocative to north korea so things are very much changing here and today, it's something that will be very much on people's minds and we will have a number of veterans from the united states that have been here for a number of days and touring several military sites where battles took place 68 years ago. it is really a day for many people to see what happened but at the moment, it does seem there is reason for some optimism. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: this look delicious!

involved. the health authorities in queensland has said sorry to the families and the patients and health officials in the state of queensland are stressing that the risk to those patients is very, very low, but of course, other patients who have been involved in this heart valve programme over the years will also be asking themselves were their procedures safe? is there going to be an official investigation into this? this is a scandal that is only going to get worse for health authorities in queensland and their government bosses. in queensland there is a heart valve bank, that has been distributing tissues to patients right across australia, mainly children and infants who have been suffering from heart disease. injanuary, been suffering from heart disease. in january, this heart been suffering from heart disease. injanuary, this heart valve bank due to, we understand, to an unrelated complaint of mismanagement. so the bank has been

closed down for most of the year because of this complaint and now the scandal involving the three babies as well and that will be at the heart of this investigation that is due to report by the end of the year. now to the world cup, where colombia have beaten poland 3—0. the poles are the first seeded team to go out of the tournament. earlier, japan drew 2—2 with senegal, while england beat panama 6—1, putting them through to the knock—out stage of the tournament. the bbc‘s olly foster in moscow has the details. lots more goals. you know, babita, we are bracing ourselves for the next four days. we will get 16 matches before we really find out the final reckoning. there are still ten places up for grabs in the last 16. and as you can see, japan is just out in front of the senegalese there. only out in front, because it's completely identical, all those stats, four points, goal difference, goals scored, they are only out in front in terms of fair play. it was a really good game

betweenjapan and senegal. senegal took the lead twice. their young striker, moussa wague, 2—1 in the second half, scored by the youngest african player to score at a world cup. he's nowjust 19. but the blue samurai came back yet again. keisuke honda came off the bench, making history with the equaliser to make it 2—2. he's now the first japanese player to score at three world cups. almost two years since his last international goal. that was a long time coming, and a really important one. japan will be taking on the poles. they will be demotivated because they lost to columbia, poland. and after that japan result against senegal,

because if there's a loser, they would be going out. columbia looked fantastic. falcao got a well deserevd goal. cuadrado had a late goal. columbia, putting themselves back in the mix with senegal and japan. that's just one of those round of matches to look forward to, babita. it could be an absolute nailbiter. nothing is decided in group eight yet apart from the poles going home early. now we all know going into the final 16, you have got to pace yourself, but so do the players as well. with that in mind, we are pretty happy here about england today. unbelievable. all sorts of records falling. remember, england just squeak an opening win against tunisia in injury time. harry kane
