live from london. this is bbc news polls close in turkey as recep erdogan and his rival kemal kilicdaroglu go head to head in the turkish presidential runoff. white house and us republicans have reached an agreement �*in principle�*, to raise the government debt limit and avoid a default britain's government is discussing plans for supermarkets to cap the price of basic food items to help tackle the rising cost of living crisis. hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. voting in turkey's historic presidential run—off election has

just closed and the result is expected to become clear in just a few hours. around 64 million turks were eligible to vote — turn out in the first round was closing in on 90% — and they had a choice between two veteran candidates: the two—times president recep tayyip erdogan — and the opposition leader, kemal kilicdaroglu. the election takes place amid a faltering economy, with inflation in double figures and a cost—of—living crisis. both of the candidates have been out to cast their vote. this was the incumbent president, recep tayip erdogan, in istanbul. he arrived by limousine, with the crowds kept back behind barriers,

and more or less had the polling station to himself, when, along with his wife, he cast his ballot. and at exactly the same time as that was happening in istanbul — mr erdogan�*s opponent, kemal kilicdaroglu cast his vote in ankara. the polling station was a little more crowded, and the supporters were able to get up a little bit closer, but everything seemed to pass off without incident. mr kilicdaroglu is a retired civil servant, who's led turkey's main opposition since 2010. both candidates spoke to the media after voting — here's a little of what they had to say. this is the first time in turkey's democratic life that we have seen such a vote in the presidential election and there is no country in the world that such a vote has been organised but turkey has fought a democratic battle in the best way

possible with a 90% turnout in the first round and i think it will also do so again today in the same way. i am calling upon all my citizens to turn up _ am calling upon all my citizens to turn up at — am calling upon all my citizens to turn up at the ballot boxes. i urge them _ turn up at the ballot boxes. i urge them to— turn up at the ballot boxes. i urge them to cast their vote and then protect— them to cast their vote and then protect their votes because this has been an_ protect their votes because this has been an election held under ten circumstances. they have been all sorts _ circumstances. they have been all sorts of— circumstances. they have been all sorts of slanders but i believe in the of— sorts of slanders but i believe in the of turkish people.— sorts of slanders but i believe in the of turkish people. there's live ictures the of turkish people. there's live pictures on _ the of turkish people. there's live pictures on screen _ the of turkish people. there's live pictures on screen of— the of turkish people. there's live pictures on screen of the - the of turkish people. there's live pictures on screen of the counting| pictures on screen of the counting under way taking place in thousands of buildings across the country, as the votes are counted. since turkey first began to elect its presidents directly, mr erdogan has won both votes — in 2014 and 2018. and he did so both times by taking more than 50% of the vote in the first round. but this year, for the first time, he has had to face a second, run—off round because he did not pass

the 50% threshold in the first round of voting. he took around 49.5 percent — with mr kilicdaroglu taking about 44.9 percent. and that was on a turn out of nearly 89 percent of people eligible to vote. my colleague anna foster has been following the election from istanbul — she sent us this update just after the polls had closed. well, the counting is well under way and the first results will be on their way to the main election centres where all of these numbers are tallied and sent to provide that final total and the anxious wait has really begun now for these two candidates. recep tayip erdogan, who is teetering either on the brink of another term as turkey's president or defeat if the challenger kemal kilicdaroglu manages to get more than 50% of the vote and they have been campaigning on some of the key issues here in turkey. things like

the economy and turkey's economic crisis. the way that the cost of living has been felt so acutely here because of the plummeting value of the lira and the sky high inflation that people in turkey have been suffering. also earthquakes. those devastating earthquakes back in february, in southern turkey hi gain have affected how people are voting in some areas. people who so maybe the states response is slow and inadequate. and just in the last week or so, immigration has really come to the fore. turkey hosts more than 3 million syrian refugees and, in the last days of campaigning, that has been one of the key issues for the two candidates going head—to—head. a little early at the polling station as people came to cast their votes i asked them what issues they would be thinking about when they decided who they thought should lead turkey next.— should lead turkey next. gender euuali , should lead turkey next. gender equality. above _ should lead turkey next. gender equality, above all, _ should lead turkey next. gender equality, above all, is _ should lead turkey next. gender equality, above all, is the - should lead turkey next. gender equality, above all, is the main. equality, above all, is the main issue. and this is a very big problem in this country. whether it be gender equality, the cost of

now, i wait for the next few hours are tense and anxious wait as these votes are counted. we expect to hear the results in the next few hours. already the supporters are gathering in the party headquarters in the main cities right across turkey. and of course who went will have a huge impact on the future direction of this country. there are two very different visions for a turkish future which will be relevant not just domestically but globally as well. think about turkey's place in the world, the relationships it has with both east and west. all of these things could stay the same way they could change and we will find out the answer in the next few hours. thanks to anna for that. we will be getting more reaction from her a little bit later. one other image to share with you from the elections in turkey today. this is recep tayyip erdogan, meeting his supporters after he had voted — and handing out money, notes worth around ten dollars each. it's something mr erdogan has often done, although it's perhaps an unusual thing to do on the day

of an election itself. as we start getting results through we will bring them to you. as we start getting results through we will bring them to you. president biden and the republican house speaker kevin mccarthy have reached an agreement in principle on a new government debt limit, ending weeks of wrangling. ed democrats and republicans have untiljune the fifth to approve the deal and prevent the us government running out of money. mccarthy said he expects the agreement to attract support from a majority of house republicans. this is how he announced the breakthrough. 95% of all those at the conference were very excited but think about this. we finally were spending. we are the first confessor vote for

cuts bending year after year. we are able to do this after the president said he was not even going to talk to us. we put a statutory cap on only spending i% for the next six years so we let government grow, but at a slower rate. years so we let government grow, but at a slower rate. live now to washington now and our correspondentjess parker. how big a deal is this? are quite a big deal in a sense that there was thejune event deadline and actually still is the tune that the deadline. the treasury has put out there. it is not an exact science but it is about the moment they think they could run out of money in terms of being able to pay their bills and many people have wanted this could have catastrophic consequences not just for the us economy but globally as well. so there is a lot of relief that a deal has been reached but it is a deal between the white house and kevin mccarthy, the republican house speaker. there are still some way to go and not a lot of time to

get this legislation over the line. so what is going to happen now as us lawmakers are going to get the legislative text, we are told, that they have been working through the night negotiators, to get that text finalised. then there's lawmakers in congress will get 72 hours to look over that text before a vote in the house on wednesday. that is the plan put out by kevin mccarthy and that a vote in the senate after that. so all ayes on congressmen and women in terms of what they are same for the think the particular concern is, could you see may be those to the right and to the left on the democratic party, unhappy with the agreement reached. may be for those on the left to go too far. there could be a lot of pressure on kevin mccarthy and joe biden to get this deal over the line in order to avoid

that a default that is looming and is looming fast. just that a default that is looming and is looming fast.— is looming fast. just very briefly, can we get _ is looming fast. just very briefly, can we get a _ is looming fast. just very briefly, can we get a little _ is looming fast. just very briefly, can we get a little bit _ is looming fast. just very briefly, can we get a little bit of- is looming fast. just very briefly, can we get a little bit of the - can we get a little bit of the detail? where do you think this leaves mccarthy now? welcome of course, leaves mccarthy now? welcome of course. kevin _ leaves mccarthy now? welcome of course, kevin mccarthy _ leaves mccarthy now? welcome of course, kevin mccarthy has - leaves mccarthy now? welcome of course, kevin mccarthy has been l leaves mccarthy now? welcome of. course, kevin mccarthy has been seen as quite a week speaker. it took a long time and several rounds of voting to even be elected. he is obviously out on the airwaves this morning, on the hard sell. and he will hope, i am sure, that if you can get this through and through the decent numbers, sort of a caucus in the middle, more moderate congressmen and women in the republican and democratic party, that will strengthen his speakership. he is saying he expects the majority of his party to back the majority of his party to back the plans but of course it is a little bit premature at the moment because there's lawmakers have not actually even seen the full legislative text yet. but he certainly going around saying, look, we have got spending cuts. they've also got concessions on things like tighter requirements for food stamps but there are things thatjoe biden

is going to be able to point to and say it is a win for him and particularly notable, actually, for joe biden and the white house, it looks like this agreement will mean that we won't be looking at going that we won't be looking at going that raising that the debt ceiling until after the next us presidential election. that is significant for joe biden because he did not want to be in the situation having this fight again as he was trying to get re—elected to the white house. thanks for that. ukraine says russia has launched one of its biggest waves of drone attacks on kyiv — killing one person and injuring two others. ukraine's military says 54 drones were launched — and 52 were shot down. shelling was also reported in the city at the north—west of the country. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale is in kyiv with more details. what we think is at least what we've been told by the authorities is that overnight 54 drones were launched against targets across the country. they say that 52 of them were brought down, so two managed to get through the air defenses.

we don't know precisely where they landed or what damage they caused yet, but clearly the vast majority were targeted at the capital here in ukraine. we heard explosions throughout much of the night. they say the authorities say that they shot down over 40 of those drones, which is still an astonishing strike rate. and as a result of that, inevitably there were some casualties because of whenever these drones are destroyed in the sky, obviously, you know, debris falls. we know that one man died near a petrol station. there have been reports of a few casualties. we know some fires broke out in the south west of the capital. 0ne warehouse was pretty completely destroyed. but definitely the beginning of an uptick of activity. this is now, we think, the 14th strike against the capital since the month began. and so that's pretty much one every other day. so we are seeing an increase in russian attacks, just as we are seeing and i think an uptick in ukrainian attacks in parts of ukraine that are controlled and held by russia

at the moment ahead of what people are expecting, ukraine's future counteroffensive. the first one—person—one—vote election is taking place in somalia since 1969. residents in somalia's semi—autonomous state of puntland have been casting votes in local elections since thursday. during the socialist rule of siad burr—ay, who took power in a coup in 1969, political parties were banned. after he was overthrown in 1991 the country, faced with years of civil war and arm indirect voting system via clan representatives has been used. now it's time for a look at today's sport. much has been decided ahead of the premier league's final day. the champions and

champions league places. one of those to go down. the last day relegation battle, the football fans purgatory. 0ne the last day relegation battle, the football fans purgatory. one way, a joyous escape. the other, the chasm. many everton fans have been here before. 94. then again in 98. nervous afternoons when they stepped off the trapdoor. at the last moment. what they have this time is control. if they beat bournemouth they stay up. victory would keep the big chances of relegation at bay. what might be their last season at goodison park will be played as a premier league team. theyjust need to win. we premier league team. they “ust need to win. ~ ., ., ~ ., .,

the opening day of the french open has provided more evidence of how the roland garros crowd are happy to make their views known. second seed aryna sabalenka beat marta kostyuk in straight sets. but kostyuk. who's from ukraine was then booed off as she left the court for refusing to shake hands with her belarussian opponent. belarus is an ally of russia in the war in the region. i understand why they are not shaking hands with us. i can imagine, if you're going to shake hands with us and then, what is going to happen to them from ukrainian side? so i understand that, and i understand that this is not kind of like, personally, you know. that's it. and i think, probably, she don't... not probably. i think she don't deserve to be, yeah, to leave the court that way. max verstappen led from start to finish and survived a rain shower to win

the monaco grand prix. the world champion maintained his lead in the slippery conditions that arrived in the second half of the race to claim his fourth win of the season. fernando alonso was nearly 28 seconds behind. esteban alcorn completed the podium for alpena. and that's all the sport for now. here in the uk, the government says it in discussions with supermarkets over the introduction of a cap on the price of basic food items. supermarkets are expected to be allowed to select which items they would cap. a similar agreement is in place in france. it would be a voluntary scheme. 0ur reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more details on the plans. the idea is to limit the price of basic food items to help tackle the

cost of living. talking about things like bread, milk and sugar. food prices in the uk rose last month thatjust prices in the uk rose last month that just over 19%. prices in the uk rose last month thatjust over 19%. that is the second highest in 45 years. these plans at the moment are at their early stages. we are told that it would be a voluntary agreement with the major supermarkets to lower the price of some items. those items would be decided by the supermarkets. ministers are keen to stress that there are no plans for a mandatory cap. mr; stress that there are no plans for a mandatory cap-— mandatory cap. my understanding based on the _ mandatory cap. my understanding based on the discussions - mandatory cap. my understanding based on the discussions last - mandatory cap. my understanding i based on the discussions last night, this is about having constructive discussions with supermarkets about how we work together, not about any element of compulsion. i'd make the british proposal is a similar scheme that has been introduced in france. there the government agreed with major retailers to set what they called the lowest price possible on a range of items. across other parts of europe, there could be caps on

prices. in croatia it includes sunflower oil and flour whilst hungarian supermarkets are mandated to keep a range of prices low including chicken breast and pork leg. in france, the retailers picked up leg. in france, the retailers picked up the cost with lower profit margins however, some experts say the uk market is different. the supermarket — the uk market is different. the supermarket model nearly 100 years has been _ supermarket model nearly 100 years has been to break even on basic goods— has been to break even on basic goods and — has been to break even on basic goods and make the profits on nonessentials and non—grocery on payments— nonessentials and non—grocery on payments from suppliers and by cutting — payments from suppliers and by cutting costs. so, logically, they are already keeping the cost down and we _ are already keeping the cost down and we know they are transferring some _ and we know they are transferring some of— and we know they are transferring some of those profits from nonessential goods that they get and alcohol— nonessential goods that they get and alcohol and chocolate, for example. there _ alcohol and chocolate, for example. there are _ alcohol and chocolate, for example. there are some concerns of the proposals could hit small shops in the uk and the british retail consortium which represents the big retailers are sceptical of the plans. it retailers are sceptical of the lans. , ., retailers are sceptical of the lans. , . . , , retailers are sceptical of the lans. ,. ., ,, , plans. it is a meaningless pledge. it would plans. it is a meaningless pledge. it would not _ plans. it is a meaningless pledge. it would not make _ plans. it is a meaningless pledge. it would not make a _ plans. it is a meaningless pledge. it would not make a jot _ plans. it is a meaningless pledge.

supermarket to another to get the best value and that is what customers are doing. we know that, we can see that in basket spend and what is happening in competition so we really don't understand why the government is trying to intervene in this way which really looks odd. it looks like something out of the 19705 looks like something out of the 1970s rather than the 20 we will see what happens with this plan. thank you. i what happens with this plan. thank ou. ., what happens with this plan. thank ou. . ., what happens with this plan. thank ou. ., ., ., " what happens with this plan. thank ou. . ., .,~ what happens with this plan. thank you. i want to take your life back to turkey- _ you. i want to take your life back to turkey. counting _ you. i want to take your life back to turkey. counting is _ you. i want to take your life back to turkey. counting is under- you. i want to take your life back to turkey. counting is under wayj you. i want to take your life back. to turkey. counting is under way in this crucial presidential election. and this is quite interesting here. showing of the ballot. there is a picture of both candidates on the ballot paper and voters just had a simple choice of one or the other. recep tayyip erdogan, the incumbent or the rival opposition, kemal kilicdaroglu. so counting is relatively quick because it is a simple counting process rather than a big, long ballot to go through. so

we are going to keep right across these pictures for you. are going to keep across this counting and we will bring the result in the hours ahead. this is bbc news. hello. the big picture weather—wise this week is for things to remain largely dry with some spells of sunshine, but within that big picture there are some subtleties, some nuances. in the best of the sunshine with shelter from the breeze it will feel warm, but where you are exposed to quite a brisk wind at times, it will actually feel fairly chilly. today, a little bit cooler than yesterday for many of us, a fair bit of cloud for northern ireland, western scotland and also for eastern and central parts of england, just perhaps getting into east wales, but for west and south wales and certainly south—west england, that's where we've got the best of the sunshine and the highest temperatures up to 24 or maybe 25 degrees. tonight,

a lot of the cloud will melt away. we will see maybe one or two mist patches where the winds are light. it stays quite breezy down towards the south and the south—east. an area of cloud rolling into some eastern parts of england. across some parts of scotland temperatures really will drop away. some places will get down to freezing. into monday, high pressure still with us, but around the edge of the high you can see the isobras actually fairly tightly squeezed, so that shows that we will have some brisk winds in the north of scotland and also across the east and the south of england. that really will take the edge off the temperatures. so for monday morning, an area of cloud across eastern england tending to retreat back towards the coast. cloudier skies in the north of scotland, but elsewhere quite a lot of sunshine. where the winds are light across northern ireland, parts of north—west england, western scotland, that's where we'll have the highest of the temperatures — up to around 20, 21 degrees. conversely, for some northern parts of scotland and eastern parts of england, it will feel a little bit chilly. regardless of the feel of the weather, the sun, if you have it overhead,

is strong — high uv levels. so bear that in mind if you're out and about for any length of time. into tuesday, again a zone of cloud across the eastern half of england, best of the sunshine further west. that nagging wind down towards the south—east corner making it feel a little bit chilly. further north and west, though, glasgow could see highs of 24 degrees. i think it will be northern and western parts of the uk that see the highest temperatures through the middle of the week. this area of high pressure, if anything, pulling away north—eastwards was so will maintain quite a brisk breeze for some southern and eastern parts at times, keeping more cloud and a cooler feel here. the highest temperatures further north and west, up to around 25 degrees.
