been making a final push for support addressing a huge crowd also in istanbul whoever wins the vote will gain sweeping new presidential powers to be introduced after the polls. audit. the. president. has been steering the course of church politics for more than fifteen years that is good he has a good shot of reelection which would allow him to further tighten his grip on power. after this presidential election the most common for garfield constitutional changes in a generation will come into force they were only narrowly backed by the turkish people in last year's referendum is out on when the necessary majority he will be an almost all powerful president but he is not baguettes. these people

stand in his way they are add ons biggest challenges. sixty one year old middle action as the only woman running for president she has already served as interior minister and last year she founded a new political party she's seen as right wing nationalists and religious some call action on the iran lady of turkey to fire. him injure represents the center left c.h.p. turkey's biggest opposition party the fifty four year old is an outspoken defender of the text republic as envisioned by most of like a mulatto. he's a charismatic speaker and a harsh critic of add one. is turkey's first presidential candidate to run from behind bars despite international protest he's been in custody for

a year on the health on terrorism related charges. represents the pro kurdish h d p a party despised by the turkish government many of those backing the forty five year old attorney are young voters. only three challenges why. to limit the powers of the presidency and see a return to the parliamentary system they want to improve relations with your openly turkey out of its economic crisis it's unlikely any of them will win a majority but if they manage to force add one into runoff elections it might end up a much tighter race for the seemingly all powerful president. both turkey's political parties do their final campaigning ahead of sunday's polls get away a correspondent here earlier han is in ankara and she's been following events for us there so you know this could be turkey's most important elections in decades to ordinary people in turkey feel that

a lot of that stake oh yes you do get the feeling that there is a lot at stake after all these elections will transform turkey's political system they will usher in a new system that will dramatically expand the powers of the president at the expense of the paul humans power so if this is to add one wins the necessary majority tomorrow he will be an almost all powerful president he can for example appointed fire ministers to solve paul humans prepare the budgets polls when you elections or announce a state of emergency so for him there is a lot at stake he could either be the most powerful men in modern turkish history or he will get the signal that this is not what turkey wants this is not the direction the people here want the country to turn to so there is a lot at stake for him and his main challengers have already voted to roll back this presidential system because they clearly say this will turn turkey into

a neutral prosy. this is in fact looking like the closest election arrays since aired on himself first came to power fifteen years ago but just how optimistic is the opposition camp of being able to challenge are the ones rule. well when mr add one two months ago and now snap elections for june twenty fourth most of the observers assumed he and his ruling just as a justice and development party the a.k.p. would comfortably win this race if not entirely fairly but since then a lot has changed two things are very important here for position parties have formed a rare electoral alliance with the goal of breaking the a key p. alliances majority in parliament this of course depends on whether the pro kurdish h.t.t.p. manages to cross the ten percent threshold and makes it into parliament and secondly there is more a manger the candidate of the largest opposition party here the c.h.p.

he really is invigorating the turkish opposition making people believe that change indeed is possible he is very self-confident he's a good talker and he has easy promises and messages he for example says if you will for me i will turn mr allen's fancy presidential palace here in ankara into university into a place for the people i will not give you any election presents i will give you jobs and i'll give you your freedoms back and this is an important men message for many people here so a vote that seems to be no won't at all in the beginning has really turned into this decision for turkish voters and it will be the toughest test in sixteen years for mr add one and his a.k.p. you know there's also the question of whether these elections are going to be free and fair just quickly what are you hearing. well there are people who say before even a single vote is cause these elections cannot be considered free and fair because

missed out on has all the advantages on his side the media are overwhelmingly in his favor they broadcast him and his campaign nonstop on state media on all the major t.v. channels while the opposition doesn't get much at time at all these elections will be hail house under a state of emergency with all kinds of implications for candidates and campaigns so this is an argument that there is no free fair election under these circumstance if you consider the circumstances but we'll of course have to see what happens tomorrow there are many observers here international and local observers to watch where very closely what will happen to the vote are id w. corresponding nearly one hundred porting from ankara thank you. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world and tens of thousands of supporters of the european union have gathered in central london to call for a final vote on the terms of brings it comes exactly two years to the day that britain held its referendum on leaving the e.u.

the rallies we're going to answer say the public deserves the final word on and you deal. french president among a lot of kron has hosted talks with new stanage prime minister petro sanchez this with sanchez first trip abroad since he became prime minister last month the leaders discussed the migration crisis ahead of a mini european summit on sunday both supports a europe wide solution to migration. he told the house. we're hearing there is the sound of a grenade exploding at a rally in ethiopia's capital addis ababa where one person is dead and dozens have been injured the rally was in support of prime minister abi aman seen here being removed by security since taking office in april abi has introduced a flurry of reforms including the lifting of a draconian state of emergency. all

right let's turn to the soccer world cup in russia now and the game that germany fans have been laboring over for the past week tonight's match up with sweden has become a must win because the germans and expectedly lost their opening match of the tournament so the center of the german soccer universe at the moment is of course sochi where the match against sweden will take place w. jonathan harding is just outside the stadium and he joins us now for more so jonathan the moment has just of better rived just how big is this game. or does he get. it's any bigger than this is so well cup game that germany absolutely has to get a result in defeat here tonight and they will be out and not is the most shocking thing that german football can even imagine the fact that they're having to is difficult for them they will be under pressure the expectation is to win but it is

an absolutely enormous came i don't think it would be an exaggeration to say this is probably the biggest game in german football history in the last fifteen years all right well with so much at stake and this game who are the key player is that coach live is going to be calling on tonight. well the lineup isn't out yet but there will be a lot of attention given to it because no fuss to make some strong decisions everybody wants marco royce to stop who will replace the injured not so most in defense but the biggest questions will be asked of the leadership group and not is minimal noir thomas miller something to do with those key players that have been around for a long time that didn't accept responsibility and didn't deliver in the first game that absolutely have to tonight they will be the key men all right let's talk about germany's opponents so what can we expect from them. well sweden or a solid but not spectacular side their fans though quite the opposite.

head of the game swedish fans are celebrating like they've won the world cup here in sochi they're convinced their side will knock out the world champions but. if we do we end with three. nothing to lose we're going to go all the and it's going to tough it's going to be quite easy game sunday walk in the park think as we don't want to beat their crap but a good many probably. five six two zero three scoring isn't exactly what the swedes are known for the team qualified for the tournament on the back of their solid defense since the retirement of starstruck has lots and abraham of each coach ian anderson has focused on the collective. germany will certainly have possession and i were defending will be the deciding factor but we also want to create and play

our own game we will have to be at our very best mean to lead the dog regardless of the performance the fans will celebrate late into the night because their team will still have a chance to advance to the knockout stages even if they lose they may be singing for a few more games yet. all right some very colorful and confident fans and jonathan how much of a factor is the crowd going to be in this match. i think it's going to be an enormous factor in truth i think it's perhaps even an underrated factor if you look at the first game germany were poor on the pitch absolutely but they were also beaten if you like in terms of support the mexico fans were absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere they generated made life a lot harder for the germany players and i expect sweden to do exactly the same here tonight there are so many here i've thought something like seven thousand are expected in the stadium tonight so germany will have to contend with a sea of yellow not green this time but the atmosphere will be something that

germany have to contend with and it does make their job that little bit harder and jonathan harding reporting from sochi many thanks indeed. well in today's first game group g. favorites belgium faced off with tunisia they opened the scoring six minutes in from a spot kick then ten minutes later romelu lukaku double believe making it to nil belgium's golden generation looking in full flow early on but tunisia him back almost immediately when dillon braun found the ball off of a free kick just before half time with cancun reestablishes size dominance with his fourth goal of the tournament belgium sort of on from there five two was the final score. a quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you opposition candidates in turkey have been campaigning hard ahead of the country's elections on sunday challengers are rich a time heir to one or two things they were vs move to brand the presidency

a sweeping new powers. and the eyes of the soccer world are on the germany squad at the world com after a first match last they must win today against sweden if they are to defend their title. you're watching news coming to you from berlin we'll be back again at the top of the hour i'm hearing and stephen from all of us here in berlin thanks for watching. probably will not succeed in defining a shadow not succeeded in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of just trying to show. taking a stand global news that matters. to

the fate of the small tiny contents of elections in many to make amends the president read to tired out on the grip on power.
