welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is duncan golestani. our top stories: president erdogan says the work begins immediately to fulfill his campaign pledges after he wins the closely fought election. victims of rape by the burmese military. the devastating legacy of sexual violence in the rohingya refugee camps of bangladesh. president macron insists eu leaders have all ruled out forcing refugees back to where they may face persecution. and an historic win for england puts them through to the last 16 of the world cup. the turkish leader, recep tayyip erdogan,

has claimed victory in both the presidential and parliamentary elections, but the opposition insists the outcome is not yet clear. the final results of polls won't be known for some days, but mr erdogan has said he will "work to fulfill his pledges." here's mark lowen from istanbul. his diehard believers never doubted it. but still, they savoured 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. with me is onur erem,

journalist with the bbc‘s turkish language service. great to have you. sunday, the opposition party was being critical of the early result. have they softened on that? iv excepting what is more likely? yes. in the beginning of the election process, the state—owned agency declared president erdogan at 60%. that is the point they were criticising. after a few hours, the percentage went to 52%. in the end, the candidate of the main opposition party declared he accepted the result. it is looking like president erdogan has the powers he wants in

the presidency in parliament. how will he govern with that concentrated power? it is a very critical election for turkey because this is the first election after turkey transformed from a parliamentary system to a presidential one. president erdogan will have new powers like issuing decrees to rule the country alongside the parliament. he says he will extend human rights and also continued growing the economy along with more political powerfor continued growing the economy along with more political power for turkey in the region of the middle east and europe. let's talk about the kurds. the main pro— kurdish party looks like it has reached the 10% threshold to enter parliament. how significant is that? very significant. turkey has the highest threshold in europe, 10%. it was a big debate if this party was going to get more than 10%. in the end,

they did more than 11%. they managed to get 60 seats, which made president erdogan‘s party, akp, lose majority in the parliament. they needed 301 seats. they have 299. they will have to look for other parties and their support in parliament. this was a much closer election than anyone thought it was going to be. the opposition parties, coming together. what do you expect to see in the coming years in terms of opposition activism against president erdogan? there is a chance we will see more cooperation among opposition parties because next year there is going to be a local election in the spring. so these parties have already started debates about having more cooperation during

the local election, even before this election was announced. so we can see more cooperation on that side because all of these parties are arguing president erdogan will turn turkey into a dictatorship, so they will unite their powers against them. at the same time, president erdogan has an electoral alliance with the nationalist party, so they may go along with this alliance into next yea r‘s may go along with this alliance into next year's local election. thank you very much for speaking to us and giving us your analysis. thank you. 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. 0ur 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 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 a normal life but when i see my

baby, i just feel love for her. dan johnson, bbc news, in the balukhali refugee camp. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. french police have arrested ten people with links to radical far—right groups over an alleged plot to attack muslims. the authorities say the group was ready to hit muslim targets, in revenge for islamist—linked attacks. surveillance operations mounted by the french intelligence agency indicated that the gang was trying to obtain arms, while grenades and explosive material were found during police raids. police in central nigeria say at least 86 people are now confirmed dead in violence between farmers and nomadic cattle herders in plateau state. 0fficers said 50 houses had also been burnt down. the latest clashes began in the barikin lardee area on thursday when a group of herders was attacked, prompting retaliatory killings on saturday. fighting between the two sides has been going on since april, but this is the bloodiest clash yet. in what's been seen as a step

towards reconciliation in northern ireland, the leader of the democratic unionist party has attended a regionalfinal of the irish gaelic football competition. gaelic football has long been seen as a nationalist game and arlene foster is the first dup leader ever to attend a final. it comes at a time when unionist and nationalist politicians are still divided over power—sharing in the province. 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. the bbc‘s sophie long joins us now from seoul.

so, what can we expect from today's event? the prime minister of south korea is speaking to crowds in a stadium in seoul right now. he used to speech to urge north korea last year to abandon nuclear weapons. we know the title of the speech this year is peace and prosperity on the korean peninsula. it is an indication of things have changed. there is still scope to miss in south korea how far the warming relations can take them. —— scepticism. we understand there are ongoing military talks to fully re—establish communications. 0ver the weekend we heard other moves,

small but significant steps, towards denuclearisation. to morejoint military exercises normally held in south korea will be called off indefinitely —— two. and families who have been divided for many decades, up to seven decades, since the korean war began, will be reunited. small but significant steps towards building trust between the two sides. it has been a fast—moving six months. it was the first of january when the north korean leader held out an olive branch. since then, we have had a number of historic summits, like the northern leaders meeting. at that summit they both pledged they would bring about the armistice agreement and turn it into a peace treaty. that is not a pledge me read in the

summit between donald trump and kim jong—un. there are hopes that soon we will move even further towards the path of peace. thank you very much. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: england are through. could they face japan in the last 16? we'll have all the results and reaction from another day at the world cup. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade center armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim on certain parts of this country as ourland. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner". chapman, prison—pale and slightly chubby, said not a single

word in open court. it was left to his lawyer to explain his decision to plead guilty to murdering john lennon. he believes that on 8june, god told him to plead guilty, and that was the end of it. the medical research council have now advised the government that the great increase in lung cancer is due mainly to smoking tobacco. it was closing time for checkpoint charlie, which for 29 years has stood on the border as a mark of allied determination to defend the city. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: president erdogan has won re—election and will start to implement his election pledges immediately. the opposition hasn't accepted defeat victims of rape by the burmese military. fears that many babies of rohingya women in the refugee camps of bangladesh could be given up for adoption. the leaders of 16 eu countries have held an informal meeting

in brussels to discuss migration. italy's new populist government welcomed the outcome of the meeting. italy wants other countries to be encouraged to accept more migrants. the issue is expected to be discussed again at a full eu summit on thursday. andrew plant reports. 0n on board the rescue ship the lifeline carrying more than 200 migrants, this footage shows maltese armed forces handing over suppliers but malta and italy have refused to let the ship dock, saying they shoulder their share of the burden. eu leaders met in brussels on sunday. the french president has angered italy by saying the peak of the problem has passed from a high of more than a million in 2015. italy's deputy leader, luigi dimaio

called him arrogant and said france should take more migrants and angela merkel is under pressure to change her liberal approach to migration. translation: we all agree that we wa nt to translation: we all agree that we want to reduce illegal migration. it cannot be the case that only some countries deal with it. everybody is responsible for everything. were of possible, we want european wide solutions. migrants often leave via the coast of libya, heading for malta, italy or spain. eu rules say there must claim asylum where they arrive but many say it is not working. we are in a situation if we don't take decisions in the coming days, the situation will escalate. what i heard today, what i think we converged on today, is a signal that there is probably a willingness to go for some operational changes. evenif go for some operational changes. even if all member states can't

agree on a new way to relocate migrants throughout the block, smaller deals could be done. a full summit is scheduled for thursday, with pressure growing and officials warning that a new surge of migration could trigger the collapse of free travel within the eu. andrew plant, bbc news. nearly fifty people are still being treated in hospital after an explosion at an election rally in zimbabwe on saturday held by president emmerson mnangagwa. he says it was an attempt to kill him, but he was unhurt. he also says the blast will not stop elections from going ahead, as planned, next month. the bbc‘s shingai nyoka reports from the capital harare. president emmerson mnangagwa revelling in the moment. then this happened. the medical services were unprepared. acts of terror of this
