and. this is to give you news coming to you live from berlin germany live to fight another day at the world cup this goal with a moment to spare. the life of the defending well of champions germany now have one group stage much left to prove they are worthy of advancing into the next round. also coming up the stakes are high in turkey's elections polls opened earlier this morning for a vote which marks president trying to tie her to once the biggest electoral challenge in fifty years of ruling the country whoever wins will take charge with

sweeping new presidential powers. and in saudi arabia women have taken to the polls for the first time as the world's only found on women motorists was lifted a midnight. football fans around the globe are still flying high over their team's last minutes come from behind victory over sweden. know how the forty days is here with me in studio to break it all down how it's all people have been talking about here in the office i don't know maybe it's because we're in berlin but do you reckon it was the match of the tournament so far it's definitely one of the big matches and definitely one of the most dramatic if not the most dramatic so far of course we were made to so for anyone who was rooting for germany really really have to weigh practically what it was till the last minute but i think we'll really need to do is actually take a look at all the action that's. germany started furiously pinning sweden back

right from the start but lacked precision in front of goal and they lacked precision in their passing to. bull gave sweden an opportunity to supply. who made no mistake. sweden ahead against the run of play in germany in deep trouble after the first goal was my mistake no question but when you play four hundred passes one or two might go astray you need to have the guts to play such a second half after that mistake. was a second half they played three minutes in a mako royce netted the equalizer was. but then a setback as jerome book saying was sent off after his second yellow card time was running out and on we were a man down for the last ten fifteen minutes but even then we did not stop playing football as we switched a couple of positions and then tony strike on this what can you say and it's

a tony cross free kick in the ninety fifth minute save both the day i am the world cup for germany i am. a brilliant routine teed up by mark or royce turn tony cross from zero to hero i am about as you just heard there in the poor reports at the ball was teed up by marco royce i want to pick your football brains and first second and for football non football fans what exactly does that mean basically what we saw there was we still have the ball is essentially sort of kicked forward about a metre and then it was sort of like setting a little time to take the shots we'll say that's essential watching a ball up is and it's it's a very risky move now and then bear in mind that tony cross had made a bit of an error to say the least which he actually mentioned there even in that report i'm doing this could have gone horribly wrong because it's sort of sense he

gives the of the team even a couple seconds just to react but it also helped him set up and really get it exactly where he wanted the thing that tony crosses he plays in spain he plays or i'm good and he's known as the surgeon in spain because of his precision perfect passing also because he's got a very cool head. and he's also somebody who's a bit of a he's got a bit of an eagle eye which is exactly what we saw with that goal they're exactly what they needed and the least he could do. do you reckon you're going to get through to the next round well i think it's going to be you know complicated to say the least i think germany have certainly a good chance but i mean the best way of explaining this to you and is it really if we take a look at the table now because it is now we're talking about how things are going to shape up we germany really need to beat south korea that's their next match as we can see their mexico are up to top if they beat sweden which is what germany reading need and germany beat says korea there's a good chance that germany will go through but sweden if they win and germany when

it'll essentially go down to goal difference and you know other factors as well are involved and that it's not just about goals so the drama is far from over and i was for germany and mexico and sweden and you know there is even a slight slight slight chance of south korea going through so there's just so many moving variables it is a very very exciting tournament so it is indeed how about the fans how did it all go down with them well in germany as you know in berlin the weather was absolutely atrocious on saturday night but that didn't stop people from go nights is to celebrate russia look at the images here from hamburg first where it looked like it was broken down rain too but it didn't stop people from go now to enjoy the celebrations and i mean on my way home from the office last night i encountered plenty of people who were dressed in their germany jerseys and donning the germany flag and also incredibly excited about the last minute goal because if you end the day they were rainy made to suffer and i mean when they go was forward in the

office there was just you could actually hear people shouting not just in the office from from everyone who lives around near the office so yeah it was it was a really great result for people a great result and a great game to watch there was so much suspense now and today we have a whole new. load of games to look forward to tell me you're absolutely right now one of the big games of course is england. england of course won their opening clash and they'll be hoping to beat panama who of course lost their opening game and you know there's plenty there's plenty of chat about what that's going to work out but england are feeling very confident is also a couple of other big games japan take on senegal both of them won their opening games and then the other one which is poland against colombia they both lost their opening games. against japan and senegal both of them really really need to

beat to get at least three points of course to win if they have any chance of making it through to the next round so plenty of drama there in back group. thank you very much for your update and fight with cancer. but polls have opened in turkey's presidential and parliamentary elections president wretch of tayyip erdogan on his a.k. party are facing a tight race or two on has cast his ballot he needs to win more than fifty percent of today's vote to avoid a runoff his main competition comes from the engine of the secular republican people's party galvanized the opposition with huge campaign rallies across the country in recent weeks. but i detail you correspondent dorian jones is with us now from the polling center in istanbul dorrian can you give us a sense of how voting has been going so far. but it's been

a said the stream of voters cars bringing the old infirmed into this voting station and those numbers are expected to ramp up in the last few hours total traditionally do vote late has one of the highest voting participation rates in the world over eighty percent normally vote in elections but that will be surpassed with the opposition galvanized into bringing their supporters out we have reports from many of turkey's see results orienteers turks have abandoned their holidays to come here and to their homes all across the country the costs but on the other side of the earth once campaign have been voicing concerns about their voter turnout in fact heard one in the last day of campaigning yesterday. stronghold of his photos with the message you have to come out and vote and how that call is heeded could be a key factor into terminal what is expected be an extremely closely fought campaign . as they mentioned this is looking like their closest election race since everyone

came to power fifty years ago how confident is the opposition right now. well the opposition recognize old one is the frontrunner but they see weakness his campaign is widely considered as being very lucky. it was fought in the midst of financial and economic turmoil the currency crashing emergency interest rate hikes fear of a recession looming and on top of that the chief challenger has galvanized the opposition normally divided and fractured he has given his message of of peace unity and hope has really caught the spirit of the country with massive rallies all across the country and their insist believe now that they can really want fifty percent more majority in the first round and force them into a runoff where they believe he will be vulnerable so at the moment there is a recognition erdogan is supported by the opposition believe they have the momentum

. and dorian there is concern over whether this election will be fair with the opposition media video allegedly showing ballots stealthing can you tell us more about that. yes that happened in the kurdish region pictures of allegedly showing large numbers of votes being dumped into a ballot box that is a major concern of the opposition given the fact that the government loosened the controls on voting allowing ballots to be used that was a measure to prevent vote stuffing but turkey's electoral boards have reportedly said they are investigating this case and we are you hearing reports of those folks will be canceled but it underlines how tense the situation is the opposition are extremely concerned over a vote rigging given the fact that last year's referendum to extend the president's powers was marred by voting allegations of fraud everyone is very nervous and everyone is extremely villagers and with these latest folks story in jones and
