well i mean there's room for doubt and i work there you don't. use and do w. news live from berlin campaigning has officially ended in turkey ahead of a landmark vote on sunday but will anyone be able to stop president of russia tie affair to want to take a look at the main opposition challengers hoping to break into once fifteen year iron grip on power and also coming up the eyes of the soccer world will be on the germany team in the coming hours after the world cup fans of the defending champions have been suffering the blues since the team's opening match last month coach and players insist that germany will rebound against sweden in

a do or die in that. and in saturday's first of world cup soccer match tunisia faced ruggie favorites belgium and managed to give them a fright early on. i marry in evanston it's good to have you with us campaigning has concluded for elections to be held in turkey on sunday the candidates spent the final day rallying their supporters incumbent wretch of thai appear to want to dressed multiple of vents and istanbul election which he called more than a year early is being seen as a referendum on his fifteen years in power as one of the heir to once chief rivals mahato n.j. has also been making a final push for votes he addressed a huge crowd also in. now whoever wins turkey's

elections will gain sweeping new presidential powers to be introduced after the polls let's now take a closer look at the candidates well incumbent president a red ship tayyip heir to one of the islamic rooted a.k.p. party called the snap elections sixteen months ahead of schedule everyone is looking to extend his fifteen years in power as prime minister and as president president now heir to once only female challenger for the presidency is michelle action ire she's a former interior minister and leader of the recently formed nationalist eat party and salon teen dominik tired 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 a senior lawmaker injury he's seen as the candidate with the biggest chance of beating erred on. the short time ago i spoke to deploy you correspondent judy hahn who is in ankara and has been following the campaign for us i asked her if ordinary people in turkey felt the 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 pol humans' powers so if ms 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 polson 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 and 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 the ones rule. well when mr ad won two months ago announced napal actions for june twenty four 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 procacci h.t.t.p. manages to cross the ten percent threshold and makes it into parliament and secondly there is more remains of 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 miss out on 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 seemed to be no won't at all in the beginning has really turned into his decision for turkish voters and it will be the toughest test in sixteen years

for mr alderaan and his a.k.p. . corresponding speaking to me earlier from. turning now to zimbabwe where an explosion has hit a rally where president emerson and gog lot was addressing his supporters he was unhurt but several others are reported to have been injured including the country's vice president the blast happened at the white city stadium in the southwestern city of bullah while you present on god why was campaigning there ahead of nationwide elections in july power last november after the ouster of zimbabwe's long time ruler robert mugabe. well for the very latest journalist columbus joins us now from harare columbus what can you tell us about this blast and below why it. is so it is

a blast that's about four hours up go there in about thirty minutes up with the blades of a monk or was or so on. to raise hell and television say the set of pots he's one of his friends plays with them and the chap as it was thirty years of appeals. the wife of one of them i spasms. goes away it's at the at the around the off the expose him but he stays the situation is i'm a corporal and he says is this. for you stop and which is about wanting to kill me because. most songs went so far out of is there any speculation on who could have been behind this. yes. the. ses people. didn't. try to trick you like

six times before as i was on. the. tides within the group so that they get sued by the head of the july that election the question. how some of them disclose to the point you know someone gets close the president was appalled when. you said because i've been covering the president for four years now. you know where ladies are places. where this type of behavior. arrives columbus will have to leave it there from harare many thanks indeed for that update. now to some of the other stories making news around the world there was also a blast in ethiopia's capital addis ababa at least one person was killed and dozens were wounded after a grenade went off during a pro-government rally there was panic following the blasts which new prime

minister on the ahmed escaped the rallies organizer has called it an assassination attempt. tens of thousands of supporters of the european union have gathered in central london to call for a final vote on the terms of brands it comes exactly two years to the day that britain held this referendum on leaving the e.u. the rallies organizers say the public deserves the final word on any deal. all right let's turn to the soccer world cup in russia now in the game the germany fans have been laboring over for the past week tonight's match up with sweden has become a must win because the germans unexpectedly lost their opening much of the tournaments so the center of the german soccer universe at the moment is of course sochi where that match against sweden will take place we can see already jonathan harding he's just outside that stadium and he is with us to tell us more and jonathan i hear

a lot of shouting in the background it is the big moment about almost arrived just how big is this game. where you are right there is a lot of shouting i think that's because there's a lot of excitement about this game i don't think it gets any bigger than this for germany it is a huge huge game they're under pressure they have to win the expectation is that they will do that. there's also a man under pressure as the head coach who hasn't got it right in the first game he is the center of attention i don't think it's an underestimation to say that this is perhaps the biggest game in german football history in the last fifteen years all right so the coach joachim loew he's got to get it right this time which player . or is he going to be calling on tonight. oh no not enough is out officially yet but there are some suggestions that he's going to change to three five two it means that mario gomez is expected to come in and start with him of an antonio ruediger is supposed to be the man coming into

a three man back line and in midfield the big news reportedly at the moment is that measures and some akira will not play if that does turn out to be the case you have to move has made some very big choices with players that he normally trusts and maybe it's a sign that the leadership group of his team is being changed so if that does turn out to be the lineup some very big calls from the germany coach this evening all right so what about their opponents sweden what can we expect them. to sit in a very solid side not very spectacular though as that seemed to be the case in the first game against career but their fans as you heard earlier very very spectacular indeed. the 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 win

with their three two has nothing to lose we're going to go all the and it's going to be tough game it's going to be yeah quite easy game sunday walk in the park thank you guys we don't want to beat their crap but our girl 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 star striker has lots on the bring him 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. was mean to be the dog regardless of the performance the fans will celebrate late into the night because their team will still have a child to advance to the knockout stages even if they lose they may be singing for a few more games yet. they got my. right so some

very colorful and confident sweden fans jonathan just haven't much of a factor is the crowd going to play in this match. but i think it's an underestimated factor how we saw in the first game for germany against mexico the difference that the mexico fans made they created such an incredible atmosphere that germany struggled underneath and really there's an argument that one of the reasons that germany was so poor and not first came up because of the way that mexico fans were they way they cheer that's a moment that will be a part of the seven thousand sweden fans here this evening so be a case of a sea of yellow not green but it's something else that germany will have to contend with tonight for sure all right jonathan harding sports reporting from searching 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 doubled the lead making it to nil . belgium's golden generation looking in full flow early on but tunisia him back almost immediately when dillon brawn found the ball off of the free kick. just before half time cockle reestablished his side dominance with his fourth goal of the tournament belgium court on from their five two was the final score. and a reminder of the top stories we're following for you presidential candidates in turkey have wrapped up their campaigns with a big rallies come of internship type area wanted. multiple events in istanbul while his main challenger in jail spoke before a huge crowd in the same city the winner will govern turkey with expanded presidential powers. of the software world are on the germany squad of the world
