detectives starts june thirtieth on g.w. . this is do w. news line from burlington campaigning has officially ended in turkey ahead of a landmark vote on sunday but will anyone be able to stop president red chip time if they're don't want to take a look at the main opposition challengers hoping to break their new one sixteen year iron grip on power also coming up the eyes of the soccer world will be on the germany team in the coming hours as the world cup fans of the defending champions

have been suffering the blues since the team's opening match along with that coach and players insist that germany will rebound against sweden do or die match. american evanston it's good to have you with us campaigning has just finished for elections being held in turkey on sunday candidates spent the last day rallying their supporters incumbent red chip tired don't want to address the multiple events in istanbul the election which he called more than a year early is being seen as a referendum on his fifteen years in power when the heir to long chief rivals mohamed injury has also been making a final push for votes he addressed a huge crowd also in istanbul. well whoever

wins turkey's elections will gain sweeping new presidential powers to be introduced after the polls with now take a closer look at the candidates incumbent president french have tayyip heir to one of the islamic rooted a.k.p. party called the snap elections sixteen months ahead of schedule erica one is looking to extend his fifteen years in power as prime minister and as president now heir to once only female challenger for the presidency is mineral action ire she's a former interior minister and leader of the recently formed nationalist party and dimmu tosh of the pro kurdish opposition party h d p is being forced to run his campaign from behind bars he's currently on trial on terrorism charges and turkey's biggest opposition party the secular republican people's party or c.h.p.

is represented by senior lawmaker in j. hughes seen as the candidate with the biggest chance of beating ariel on while a short time ago i spoke to d.w. correspondent judy a han who is in ankara and has been following the campaigning for us i asked her if ordinary people in turkey felt that this election was especially significant. 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 miss 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 miss to 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 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 hippie alliances majority in parliament this of course depends on whether the procardia 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 many message for many people here so a vote that seemed to be no water 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 set because missed out on has all the advantages on his side the media are overwhelmingly in his favor the broadcast him and his companion nonstop on state media and on all the major t.v. channels while the opposition doesn't get much 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 election under these circumstance if you consider the circumstances but we'll of course have to see what happens tomorrow there are many observers international and local up service to watch where very closely what will happen to the votes are i do believe corresponding you the 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 bragg's it becomes exactly two years to the day that britain held its referendum on leaving the e.u. the rules organizers say the public deserves the final word on any deal french president a monologue on has hosted talks with new spanish prime minister pedro sanchez this was 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 support a europe wide solution to migration. that ethiopia has become known. in ethiopia capital addis ababa at least one person has been killed and dozens wounded after a grenade went off during a pro-government rally in

a central square there was panic following the blast which knew it the open prime minister ahmed escaped rallies organizer has called it an assassination attempt. on explosion also hit a rally in zimbabwe where president emerson and that god was addressing his supporters he was unhurt but several others are reported to have been injured including the country's vice president the once happened at the white city stadium in the southwestern city of below while you president was campaigning there ahead of nationwide elections in july he was soon power last november after the ouster of zimbabwe's long time leader robert mugabe germany's chancellor has wrapped up her brief visit to the middle east to discuss the migration crisis on sunday on the americal a schedule to travel to brussels for informal talks on the same subject with sixteen other e.u. leaders but reaching agreement will not be easy. done under

the magical senior level needs an international deal on migrants to quell a rebellion within her own conservative camp in germany her domestic opponents want germany to reject some refugees at its national borders favors a european solution but is dampening expectations. on talk on the brussels is just a working meeting there won't be a final declaration. physically able given that we know as well that there won't be any solution among all twenty eight member states on the level of the council next week to the entire package of questions on migration that's. a good illustration of merkel's problem is italy which says it is overwhelms the country is rejecting migrants rescued by n.g.o.s from the mediterranean and says it won't take back any from germany either. for eastern european

member states are boycotting the brussels meeting their leaders also don't think much of reimposed german borders within the e.u. . they were guarding the ground. very thought preventing illegal migrants from entering e.u. territory has to be done at the coast of europe or at the coast of libya and not inside the schengen area which is around the region or otherwise the whole singing area would break up saying. that's a view shared by austria which is about to take over the use rotating presidency and with which germany could soon have a hard border again. but this is ridiculous i think it's important that we no longer primarily fight about the distribution of migrants within the european union . but instead focus on securing our outer borders together. but

beyond beefing up the use external border security member states don't agree on much concerning migrants and even france merkel's closest european allies is warning that the block could potentially break apart over this issue. all right let's turn to the soccer world cup in russia now in the game but 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 though 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 war so jonathan of the moment has just a better rived just how big is this game. but

i don't think it gets any bigger than this 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 thought of the having to is difficult for them they will be under pressure the expectation is to win but it is an absolutely enormous game 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 ok 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 snafus to make some strong decisions everybody wants marco royce to start who will replace the injured not so most in defense but the biggest questions will be asked of the leadership group tonight is my manoir thomas miller something to do with those key players that have been around for a long time but didn't accept responsibility and didn't deliver in the first game

absolutely have to tonight they will be the key men all right let's talk about germany's opponents sweden what can we expect from them. well suited to 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. if we do we end with three. nothing to lose we're going to go all the and it's going to be tough game it's going to be quite easy game sunday walk in the park think as we don't want to beat their crap but our girl many probably. five six three 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 which coach ian anderson has focused on the collective me aboard 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 i write them 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. and that's the latest from the daily news desk and marian and stan thanks for watching. make your smart t.v. smart or click douglas or smart. watch what you want to. up to date. extraordinary. to sideline sunday. sunday at w.
