hello, welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. turkey's re—elected president recep tayyip erdogan says he has a job to do to reunite the country following his narrow victory. president erdogan won the run—off election with 52% of the vote, to the opposition�*s 48. but as well as dealing with a deeply divided country, he also has an economic crisis on his hands with inflation — that's the rate at which prices rise — running at over a0%. our chief international correspondent orla guerin reports. it was a long night of celebration for one side of turkey. supporters of president recep tayyip erdogan massed outside his presidential palace

here, marking a hard fought victory. translation: i've been voting for him since - i was 18, yetter tells us. my generation backs erdogan. we won the election fairly, thank god. recep tayyip erdogan. outside his presidential palace here, marking a hard fought victory. translation: i've been voting for him since i love you a lot. in istanbul, he did it his way. with a sing along for supporters of his ruling ak party and an attack on familiar targets. is the opposition pro lgbt? he asks. could any lgbt infiltrate our party?

no, they chorus. over at the opposition�*s headquarters, it was like a funeral. almost half the voters were with them, not the president. the election has crystallised the divisions here, and the opposition is warning of trouble ahead. it's already visible here in currency exchange rates. the turkish lira fell again to a record low on news of the president's victory. experts say he has mismanaged the economy, resulting in rampant inflation. some of the young now see no future here. so i don't have hope any more. i don't have hope for turkey. i want to move abroad as soon as possible. the country is in a bad situation. i pray to god that he's going to be good for everyone. i look at the people _ around me who are supporting the opposition and all of them are really resentful. _ but many others here can't see a future without recep tayyip erdogan. his base is religious,

conservative and nationalist. his loyal supporters have given him five more years to reshape turkey in his image and theirs. bbc news, ankara. well, we saw in orla's piece tayyip erdogan revelling in his victory with supporters — more from istanbul now ffrom correspondent anna foster three today was a relatively quiet day. he said everything that he wanted to say last night, both on the street here in istanbul and at the presidential palace in ankara, when he addressed those rapturously applauding and cheering supporters who turned out to celebrate his five more years in power. he has already been very clear about the direction that he wants to take turkey in, and he's been very clear that we can expect more of what we've seen during his 20 year rule in this country. i think today has been a little bit

more difficult, though, for the opposition, because they now need to decide what to do next. kemal kilicdaroglu, the candidate who all of these opposition parties coalesced around for the first time. there hasn't been an occasion before when different parties with different visions, different ideas of how turkey should look, have come together and have supported one single candidate. and i think a lot of people feel like that was an opportunity squandered. everybody will be looking ahead now, because even though we've had the parliamentary elections and the presidential runoff, there are municipality elections on the way next year. president erdogan has his eye on cities like istanbul and ankara that he wants to take control of. so, the opposition really decides how they hold on to these cities and where they go next. earlier, i spoke to rumeysa kadak, who is an mp in erdogan�*sjustice and development party.

that's not true. and you know that too. before that, i would like to thank tens of thousands of our volunteers who have been working on the ground for election, giving the message of unity, message of our party and erdogan, the message of harmony to all people, sometimes campaigning door—to—door, and also hundreds of volunteers from the opposition side, voluntarily working out in the field for turkish leaders. you can use this as a platform to thank your supporters, but right now ijust need you to answer the question. we sort of want to give our international audiences a sense of what's going on in turkey. i would love to. so if you can answer the questions, the fact is that this was a closely contested election. this is the first time that mr erdogan has faced a runoff. he has won the election, of course, but it is true that this is a nation that's divided, and he's going to have to work to reunite the nation. that's not true, and i think this sentence is very disrespectful to turkish democracy and turkish

people who are listening to you right now. because we know that turkey is, and especially the people of turkey, they sent the message themselves with voting for president erdogan, saying that they are for unity and harmony in turkey because we have seen, unfortunately, the main opposition candidate changing his language overnight from the language of love and language saying that the gates of heaven would be open to all the turkish people, overnight to a language of hatred and xenophobia. on the other hand, president erdogan gave the message of unity and harmony. did he give the message of unity, harmony, and as you say, love to the lgbtq community, because we just heard there in remarks that he made to supporters, and also disparaging remarks about the kurds. that's nonsense.

i'm sure you know that, too. i can play that clip that we have in our video. we just ran it. where is this hate of turkey coming from? not at all. i think that's incorrect depiction. let me answer. i'm just trying to lay out to you what some of the other side is saying. so this is why we give you a chance to have your say. thank you, i would like to have a chance and answer all your questions. so when it comes to lgbtq people living in turkey, we have never interfered with anyone's lifestyle or personal choices in turkey. which is also guaranteed by the constitution. we as turkey is a secular, modern country with also conservative and also liberal elements on it. i think we should understand that

nobody can impose their lifestyle to other people's lifestyle. it's people of turkey who can decide at the end whether they can debate on issues, they can give their own decisions. but i think what is really important today is that we had the festival of democracy yesterday with 85% of voter turnout, which is the highest in europe. and we have shown the whole world, please allow me to finish, how vibrant our democracy is. 0k. i just want to talk about some of the things in terms of democracy, because humans right watch, amnesty international, has continued to criticise president erdogan�*s rule by saying that the prosecution and conviction of human rights defenders, journalists, opposition politicians, persistent turkey under his rule. i just want a response to that. none of the journalists have ever been found criminal

because of their journalisms. we have a coup attempt in turkey, and we have had lost more than 200 citizens of turkey. we know that none of the journalists are found criminal orfound guilty because of their choices and because of the journalism, but for their link to criminals. would the situation be different if it was in the uk? i don't think so. why do you think that these organisations criticise president erdogan�*s rule and say that he is cracking down on dissent and he is running an authoritarian rule over turkey? you know that is not true, too. we have shown the whole world, actually, that president erdogan got even the opposition supporters who used to support opposition, because of his language of love and language of unity,

and because it delivers turkey. it delivers in public sector. he gave an amazing improvement in technology, innovation, and also health care. that's why people are voting for him. what about the economy? there is a lot of concern about the state of the economy. many are describing it in a state of catastrophe. inflation is incredibly high, it's at a0%. last 0ctober it was at 85%. and that is, for many economists, they point the finger of blame at president erdogan for that. turkey has the largest aggregate gdp growth in the world, right after china and india. and with president erdogan, we are looking to be the number one. in the world. and we are not immune from global economy in crisis like russian ukraine crisis, like also the historic high energy prices, and the pandemic,

just like the uk, germany, france, and the us. however, we continued our investments in technology, in innovation, and in production, which made turkey actually one of the best countries recovering from these global issues. we have reached historic income and are...please allow me to finish. i can'tjust let you have a monologue, because we've got a set time on the news. i would like to answer your question, on inflation, too if you would allow me to. 0k, please go ahead. we also have historic income, and when it comes to inflation, inflation has dropped 42% since last october. people of turkey, we have shown our trust that with president erdogan we will see the single digits, actually. so you are saying that going forward over the next five years,

orjust the nearfuture, president erdogan is not going to change the course of how his economic policy is driven? president erdogan will again show the whole world how we are going to, as i told you, the aggregate gdp growth in the world, we have the largest. how he will, with the support and trust of the people of turkey, make turkey the number one. and we know that with him, we are going to again, our policies, continue our policies with support, safety, and stability in the region. let me just get this straight. there are many who say he has unconventional views that raising interest rate increases inflation, so he's not going to make any policy changes, you don't think, going forward? it's just going to remain on the same trajectory

that it is at present? we have seen in the inflation rates, a huge drop since last december, which was 42, as i mentioned. we will even see the single digits next year. people of turkey have no doubt, even the opposition has statements saying that it would be president erdogan who would make turkey be the number one in terms of the aggregate gdp. but we also have very important issues, just like the economy. we had an earthquake. which, by the way, there was a lot of criticism of the way in which the government handled things post the actual quake. it's actually the opposite. aid agencies and also many international aid agencies from the uk, they were surprised at how turkey was successful.

we had journalists in the field, fimling people, saying that they had called for help in the hours and days after the earthquake. they had family members still stuck under the rubble. we have footage. we ran it for a week, ten days after the election. we had journalists on the ground. there were many people saying the authorities didn't come to their aid in time. that's not true. i was there on the ground with a lot of volunteers. and a lot of international aid agencies were surprised, looking at the sheer size of the earthquake, and also the area. it hit ten cities. is there any other country who was this fast in terms of getting the help to the people? a lot of people, as i told you, many international aid agencies and the un aid agency said turkey was surprisingly very successful at this point. and the people of turkey, they expect the houses to be built very quickly.

and we even delivered some of the houses, which showed the success of world—class infrastructure success in turkey, and the success of us delivering. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. one of the earliest memories that i have is finding my dad's overdosed on the bed. i'm just terrified that he's dead. i was only age six. i grew up with that kind of feeling of hunger. but notjust hunger forfood, but hungerfor... for care, for kindness, for acknowledgement. now, katrina's written a book to tell her story of a child let down by parents, but also by the world. dropping out of school, pregnant at 15, she could never have imagined she would end up with a phd from ireland's top university,

trinity college, in dublin. i actually feel really privileged to have lived through the life that i've lived and i do feel like i can help other people. today, katrina's returned to inspire youngsters living in what remains one of coventry�*s most deprived areas. i remember being in here and feeling like nobody. and so to have come full circle, to be able to inspire a few children and also talk to the teachers a little bit about the impact they have. you're live with bbc news. human rights activists in uganda have filed a legal challenge against new anti—homosexuality legislation president yoweri museveni signed into law. homosexual acts were already illegal in uganda but now anyone convicted faces life imprisonment. we've just got some breaking news thatis we've just got some breaking news that is coming we've just got some breaking news that is coming about we've just got some breaking news that is coming about this we've just got some breaking news that is coming about this developing story. the eu has condemned the anti—gay laws, joining both the uk

and the us. a representative said uganda is failing to protect its citizens basic rights for the law. as i said earlier, president biden said he would evaluate the invocations of this law, saying, quote, on all aspects of us engagement with uganda, and the us government said they were appalled by the law. that's just breaking news that has developed in the last hour or so, news that has developed in the last hour orso, condemnation news that has developed in the last hour or so, condemnation from the us, the uk, and the eu. talks aimed at reaching an international treaty against plastic pollution are taking place in paris. government ministers from around the world are attending the event.

the stakes are high, given that annual plastics production has more than doubled in 20 years — and is on track to triple within four decades. the french president emmanuel macron warned that plastic pollution is a time bomb. translation: today there is not a single place on the planet that. has escaped plastic pollution. and this pollution is accelerating. if we do nothing, we will generate triple the amount of today's plastic waste by 2060. plastic pollution is therefore a ticking time bomb. as well as a plague that has already commenced. it is our duty to end it as quickly as possible. to explain the scale of the plastic pollution problem, and the ways some companies are trying to tackle it, here's our newsroom reporter naomi choy smith. we produce more than 460 million tonnes of plastic wastes every year. that's according to the un. and that is a figure that is set to triple over the next four decades. now, only 9% of that plastic is actually recycled. the vast majority of it is used once or twice and then discarded. most of that in low—income nations. and one fifth of that ends up being dumped or burned illegally. so, which are the industries that are the worst offenders when it

comes to plastic waste pollution? well, the textile industry, as you can see here, comes a close second, with more than 42 million tonnes of textile plastic waste produced every year. but by far, the worst offender when it comes to plastic pollution is plastic packaging. mi million tonnes of plastic packaging discarded and sent to waste every single year. now, much of that plastic ends up clogging up our waterways, our communities, and is harmful to human health. but one company that is trying to ditch the plastic is the manufacturer of the mars bar. they are ditching their plastic wrappers for paper in an attempt to be more environmentally friendly. those new look chocolates are available today across the uk as part of a pilot scheme. and mars isn't the only company trying to be more sustainable. you may remember a couple of years ago nestle, the makers of smarties,

introduced these cardboard boxes, and their quality tins also featured more wrapping made from environmentally sustainable materials. so all of this part of a global initiative to try and tackle plastic pollution. naomi smith there. while russell is an ocean and marine ecologist and says the statistics around plastic pollution in the oceans is terrifying. have a listen. if someone told me every year hundred and ten tonnes of plastic are added to the ocean i would say that's a ridiculous amount. if someone tied a tonnes of plastic is ocean every year i would say that's ridiculous. but it's actually 12 million tonnes of plastic that is added to our ocean every year, because it takes so long to biodegrade. hundreds of years to biodegrade. hundreds of years to biodegrade. this plastic isjust building up and building up and building up and building up and building up. my brainjust can't comprehend it, like what 12 million

tonnes of plastic looks like. but it's a phenomenal amount. flan tonnes of plastic looks like. but it's a phenomenal amount. can you cive us a it's a phenomenal amount. can you give us a sense _ it's a phenomenal amount. can you give us a sense of— it's a phenomenal amount. can you give us a sense of what _ it's a phenomenal amount. can you give us a sense of what that - give us a sense of what that actually looks like? the give us a sense of what that actually looks like? give us a sense of what that actuall looks like? , ., , , actually looks like? the problem is, actually looks like? the problem is, a lot of peeple _ actually looks like? the problem is, a lot of people have _ actually looks like? the problem is, a lot of people have heard - actually looks like? the problem is, a lot of people have heard about. actually looks like? the problem is, | a lot of people have heard about the great pacific garbage patch which is where ocean currents kind of bring all of this floating plastic debris together and what we call a gyre, which is a big central circulation point. but we have these in every single one of our oceans. we've got one of the north atlantic, the south atlantic, and the indian ocean. i have recently come back from the azores, and one of the things i enjoy doing what i'm on holiday is trying to get back. so i did a later peck, and within five minutes, unfortunately the azores is in the middle of the north atlantic gyre, so i picked up all these pieces of plastic, just tiny little charge of things that are fragmented and broken down in the sunlight. in this wave action snaps them together, and her hips into rocks and things. so, it's a really big problem. and i guess it's a lot of, really annoying

for a lot of countries who are island nations because they aren't the ones producing the plastic. find the ones producing the plastic. and et, the the ones producing the plastic. and yet. they are _ the ones producing the plastic. and yet, they are impacted by what the bigger nations and their consumers are actually doing.— bigger nations and their consumers are actually doing.- and - bigger nations and their consumers| are actually doing.- and not are actually doing. exactly. and not to mention — are actually doing. exactly. and not to mention what _ are actually doing. exactly. and not to mention what this _ are actually doing. exactly. and not to mention what this is _ are actually doing. exactly. and not to mention what this is doing - are actually doing. exactly. and not to mention what this is doing to - to mention what this is doing to marine life. to mention what this is doing to marine life-— marine life. yeah. i think it's re marine life. yeah. i think it's pretty terrifying- _ marine life. yeah. i think it's pretty terrifying. the - marine life. yeah. i think it's pretty terrifying. the basic . marine life. yeah. i think it's - pretty terrifying. the basic level, things are accidentally eating plastic, and so your starter not getting the nutrients they require. their stomachs are filling up with useless lumps of plastic, which then can obviously cause damage to the digestive systems and things like that. on a more worrying level for us, there is new research that suggests, and one of my area of specialties is phytoplankton, and these are tiny, single celled plants as thin as a human hair and they produce 80% of the oxygen that we breathe, that keeps us alive. new research has shown that micro—plastics can adhere to the outside of these and reduce the amount of oxygen by 50. i’m

light winds with very few isobars for many, but a fresh northeasterly breeze will continue across this south east quadrant of england. and that'll drag in cloud tonight again off the north sea into the midlands, southern and eastern england. elsewhere where skies are clear, then it could be quite chilly. temperatures maybe close to freezing, but for most four to eight celsius. could start quite grey, then tomorrow morning, across central and eastern parts of england, the cloud tending to melt back and fragment towards the coast. however, where areas though do stay grey with a fresh breeze, it'll be quite cool. but further north and west in the strong sunshine temperatures will be up to 2a, maybe 25 degrees in the glasgow area. that could be the hot spot of the day. tuesday night we see that cloud roll back in across large parts of england and wales this time, where as much of scotland, northern ireland will remain under clear skies, and temperatures range from around four to maybe ten or 11 across the southeast. it's here where we'll have the strongest of the breeze. so again, a great start for parts of england and wales.

on wednesday, though, the cloud will tend to burn back to the coast, although a few areas could see the cloud linger on. best of the sunshine again, scotland, northern ireland. it's here where we'll see the lightest of the winds and the highest temperatures could be 25 or 26 degrees in the glasgow area. but again, the mid to high teens along north sea coast. thursday, more cloud i think for northern and eastern scotland. again, rather cloudy for eastern england with more of a breeze there. best of the sunshine towards the south and the west. temperatures could be a little bit lower on thursday, up to 23 degrees in parts of north west england, wales and the south west. and the south west. but again, cool across north sea coast, particularly where the cloud lingers. our area of high pressure holds on for friday into the weekend, but a different story going on across southern europe. here, we're seeing daytime showers and thunderstorms break out from iberia across to greece and the islands. but for our shores, friday, saturday and sunday, look to be mostly dry and settled,

warm by day, fairly cool at night. speak
