he sees d.w. news live from burning a bit so we know who supports a brooch turkish president friendship type that i want to rise in sarajevo ahead it's not the elections in turkey and iran addresses a rally in the bosnian capital after being banned from campaigning in three e.u. countries will cross go correspondent in istanbul for more. and with his country in crisis venezuela's president seeks a second term in office and with low voter turnout predicted nicolas maduro his

victory is almost certain the opposition is launching boycotting the vote critics are calling the election of a fine. and head of the humphrey welcome to the program turkish president threat is in the balls and in capital sarajevo to address supporters living in europe ahead of snap elections in turkey next month several e.u. countries in western europe those with large ex-pat turkish populations have banned turkish political rallies ahead of his presidential and parliamentary vote. thousands of turks from all over europe arrived in sarajevo ahead of president richard tell you better ones rally some twenty thousand all up. as bosnia's muslim member of the tripartite presidency but cute is it big of which welcome dare go on

the turkish leader appeared unfazed by intelligence claims of an assassination plot against him but security was tight. news of this has reached me through the national intelligence service such threats will not lead us astray from our path. would it be right for so many people across europe to come here and not be able to see the leader they wanted to meet and greet . no it would not be they cannot stop us from walking our path we are on the same path like the path we were on during the coup attempt on july fifteenth. some three million expatriate turks are allowed to vote nearly half of them in germany the bosnian capital is the only campaign stop president everyone will be making in europe austria germany and the netherlands announced they would not allow him to hold election rallies there to one supporters called the ban undemocratic.

there are twenty eight thousand people who came here the ban on air no one in the e.u. is not good for europe this is not democracy in a democracy you can do whatever you want there's no democracy in europe it's a modern dictatorship. the election on june twenty fourth will share in the beginning of a new system of governance which will concentrate more powers in the president's hands and abolish the office of prime minister but support for everyone in bosnia is not unanimous the croatian member of the bosnian presidency has warned it could hurt the country's aspirations to join the e.u. . and i'm joined now by our correspondent. ed rollins visit bosnia-herzegovina is his only election campaign stop to win over turkish ex-pats in europe why bosnia.

well he didn't have much of a choice in the end it's only a five weeks five weeks all left until the election here in turkey and a key western european countries like germany the netherlands austria have effectively banned mr albritton from holding campaign rallies campaign events off to we saw diplomatic clashes last year when turkish politicians were complaining for a controversial referendum designed to extend presidential powers here in turkey so this time bosnia was more willing to give him states at least parts of the buzzing in government and mr add one was using the opportunity his message to experts turkish voters was vote for me vote for my posse and thus defend turkey against all kinds of enemies all kinds of forces that want to destroy and harm the country and

he especially mentioned terrorist groups and turkey's military operation in north and syria so you'll hear he's using that stage to talk to about three million potential voters in this election how crucial is it to add the one that he wins these votes. well these are really could be decisive you already mentioned that three million eligible voters about half of them in germany and these voters are well known for being sympathetic to mr out on and he has a policy so of course he is using the chance and last year in the controversial referendum we've seen how tight the political race actually can be only fifty one percent of voters said yes to more powerful mr alderaan and right now polls here in turkey a predict a similar outcome for the presidential election they say it might be difficult for him to secure a fifty percent majority and his opponents might actually be able to force him into

a second round of fourteen so for him yes every vote counts let's talk about those opponents here if anyone could in danger and victory on the twenty fourth of june well there is the candidate of the largest opposition party in turkey the c.h.p. more of them in jail he is at least known for his skill so he could potentially challenge mr adelman on this level and he clearly he clearly says if you're a elect me then we will go back to a poly a mentor a democratic system in turkey then there is a female candidate america who appeals to nationalist voters and. a candidate for the pro kurdish party he runs from behind bars but overall none of them has a chance to get fifty percent of the votes but together they might be as i said able to force missed out on into a second round of voting. in a good to have you reporting thank you. now

venezuelans are heading to the polls in an election that is expected to hand president nicolas maduro a second term in office and we do it or cast his vote early in the day he's facing a fragment meant it opposition parts of which are boycotting the poll more than twenty million of venezuelans are eligible to vote but low turnout is predicted the oil rich country has descended into economic turmoil and i'm a daughter's socialist government. and inflation has reached an all time high of more than thirteen thousand percent the rising prices have hit workers and business owners hard but not everyone is blaming the government. there isn't much cash flowing in venezuela apart from public transport and street food little is paid for with coins and notes most businesses have been forced to adapt to card payments and a reduction in sales below may no i said earlier less and have fewer clients

because of the situation where it has become too expensive for people to buy clothing or any other personal items. or by the law quite get out of the. look at our process look at dang effort feel i let them pay whatever they have. because they all want to pay with cards. but because i don't have the technology for that i let them pay me in cash with whatever they are carrying. according to some experts the two main causes of inflation are a waste of oil profits and corruption at all levels of government. a communist economy that expropriated and didn't make an effort to keep the companies running led to a brutal decline in oil revenues. that has been creating shortages and pushing up inflation. so what's the figure ten thousand fifteen

thousand twenty thousand percent. we don't know. we do know the prices are doubling every month. you know how many polls show that most venezuelans are eating just one meal a day and to buy basic food items they have to stand in line for hours on average venezuelans lost eleven kilos last year due to food shortages and hyper inflation is so bad that you can barely buy one apple when the monthly wage. but many venezuelans don't blame the government they say the real cause is an economic war orchestrated by the us and you are going to sway not them venezuela helps so many countries. and now because we don't cave in to their demands. they close all the borders and impose sanctions without

a reason you know there's. not a rich country nothing happens by chance. we have more than three hundred billion barrels of oil reserves. north american empire and the big multinationals holding the venezuelan people hostage and that's why. people are being forced to take increasingly desperate measures to survive and it's unclear what the next government will do to improve their plight. i'm joined now by de w.'s ophelia o.t. who is in caracas good to see you ophelia now the extreme poverty that many are suffering is truly shocking my daughter is expected to win these elections what would that mean for the country. well it would definitely mean a deepening of the crisis. what we have heard is that there will be probably more sanctions from the outside the united states for example has threatened to cut some

of his oil imports from venezuela if the government was to carry through the elections but it is amazing to see that people still vote for maduro we have heard it in that piece and we have also talked to people here and let's remember that more than sixty million people are dependent on the food supplies given away by the government and also what we see is a lot of a lot of people still hold on to this idea of socialism of this twenty first century socialism that has been spreading around latin america and recent decades if you do you point to a potential deepening of the crisis so what would persuade people to vote for him. well it has to be said that maduro and his government and also chavez before him have been able to hold tight controls of the country it is believed that there is

an intelligence apparatus that is advised by cuba's own intelligence and what we also see is that. they do control the media freedom of press often has been suppressed and also what we see is that. the state controlled media diffuses a lot of propaganda that says that the crisis is not told of the bad management not the fall of the of the government of it's bad management but of the international sanctions and the oil crisis that started ten years ago explain that for us then where does the truths lie between sanctions and then mismanagement in the government. while the government relied on. the oil prices for too long they they were. spreading this these wide social programs that can't be hold with the current oil prices and they never say

some emergency funds now that is what the opposition is criticizing and the opposition unfortunately has been very divided so they can't they have they haven't been able to to impose a new system of government we see. an opposition that has four million people who fled the country already they they would they are against the government and so they are missing in an opposition that could may may maybe make a difference and what we see is that the only person that might be a big opponent which is henry focus on the former governor of florida day has been criticized by many people because he used to be a supporter of the chavez government a big friend of mr hoover chevys. reporting for us from caucus thank you very much. and now to some of the other stories making news around
