10:04 am
already have no freedom of opinion no civil rights if the systematic changes for the worse with finished this is that we should only for country i but there was some opposition groups celebrating in other parts of turkey in the parliamentary contest the pro kurdish people's democratic party your h.t.t.p. managed to suppose the ten percent threshold required to enter parliament it would now form the country's second largest opposition faction something which is surely a disappointment. but nevertheless his win the ashes in the new political system under which he becomes head of both state and government are one insists this will bring prosperity and stability to the country following a failed coup attempt to years ago but critics say the new system will further erode democracy in turkey. let's get more now on this election we are joined by
10:05 am
john site yuki he is joining us from the center for economics and foreign policy studies that's an independent political think tank which is based in encore and we thank you so much for joining us this morning i'd like to just begin by first asking you because this election very much being seen as a key step in ceilings turkey's transition from a parliamentary to a presidential system what do you see as coming next for the country now. well good morning you're right absolutely i mean after. the most sixteen so for april this was the you like that. that actually completed turkey's transition to a presidential system was different though is because our party this time around did not manage to secure a. parliamentary majority which is three hundred and one seats they needed they have two hundred ninety two it's built now be. a time of
10:06 am
negotiation between to praise them to the part of the men's four for any legislation that will need to be passed in the upcoming coming time let's talk a little bit more about that. sorry john for interrupting you there on but i want to ask you i want to talk a little bit more about the composition of the parliament that you highlighted there because according to the unofficial results that i just like to cite here we know that five parties passed this ten percent support threshold that's better that's required to enter parliament and that the a.k. party as you mentioned they got i believe it's forty two percent of the vote i'm seeing here do you see this as a diverse parliament. well it is a diverse part of the month old so. if you think about the. party and me to be called isham. the coalition still has the majority so if they want to you to act
10:07 am
together in the parliament as well then they they don't really need. anybody out there support for forecasting legislation but you will see how much that will be the case in the coming days how much to what extent they will act as a coalition and what they then they will be open to a negotiation between themselves and these other groups in the parliament. i'd like to ask you because there has been so much criticism following the post-coup crackdown there in turkey both in terms of human rights in terms of enron's consolidation of power now with this latest referendum and the election the fact that he is indeed consolidating this power and i'd like to ask you what you see going forward now for the country and the implications of that. well as long as these security you know it was a victory night for him and he. pretty much got what you wanted in the parliament
10:08 am
and also managed to secure. the votes for the in the first round now regardless of this so you woke up to a country filled with the economic problems that need to be so and you need to reform and you need to actually do section two to do the so. if. if he continue the way he did so far and you know not much hope on the part of the americans and not much conversation among different groups of lawmakers then i'm afraid. the main problems that are facing right now are going on the other you'll be very difficult to resolve so i think going forward what you need and what needs to happen is that the president's office and the parliament really need to work out of a deal. here is in collaboration otherwise the
10:09 am
problems that we're facing today and these problems we would have faced when we were going to the election not the use of the results coming right so a lot of changes a lot of challenges ahead john sykes touquet joining us from ancora as we mentioned you're with the center for economics and foreign policy studies an independent political think tank there and we appreciate your analysis thank you. well now we are going to head to brussels where the others of sixteen of the e.u. nations have been discussing solutions to the migration debate this was following an emergency summit there in brussels yesterday no concrete decisions coming out of that particular meeting and we know that a full e.u. wide summit is coming up later on thursday all the sixty million porton for one it leader in particular that is the german chancellor angela merkel who is seeking a short term deal with other e.u. members to cope with the migration crisis here's why german chancellor angela
10:10 am
merkel who's in brussels looking to her fellow e.u. need is backing on migration austria's johnson a suggestion coolants take some more hardline approach but there is some common ground between medical and french president emmanuel mccall. the era of open borders across the whole of the e.u. seems to be over more and more member states are demanding more rigorous security like here on the boat garion turkish border the leaders are united on strengthening libya's coast guard so that migrants can no longer travel to europe by sea and hardliners want to create more reception centers like this one in libya far from the borders some leaders did however voice concerns. we have our values. and every time we be trying them we do damage
10:11 am
italian prime minister giuseppe conti once an overhaul of the so-called dublin agreement under which asylum seekers must be processed in the country they arrive italy says that will ensure a more equal distribution across the e.u. and open the door for bilateral agreements on the repatriation of migrants and that's exactly what angle merkel once she does not want to send refugees back to another member state without that country's agreement after the talk we want to bring together those who are willing and work out a common plan of action. every willing european partners strengthens michael back home in her dispute with her conservative c.s.u. sister party at the end of this week the chancellor must be able to show them what she has achieved and with the clock ticking as we just heard there we have our correspondents max often standing by in brussels and hans front with the very latest from berlin and max i'd like to turn to you first because these talks are
10:12 am
over now what do you make of the outcome. well there's substance and appearance as for appearance megaprojects show that she's trying to tackle the problem that she's trying to bring something home to berlin that's not up to us to judge if she really made a point there in the second part is the substance and you might be surprised there's a little more to that meeting than meets the eye first of all the telling ins were there that's important because they are of course the country where most migrants arrive in the european union and they have a populous government that feeds off of simple solutions but they acknowledge that this is complex so this is a step in the well in the right direction if you work for the e.u. institutions and then there was a summary from the e.u. commission who led that meeting on sunday night where they outline a couple of measures that they would like to take at the at the summit that we have at the end of the week and they all focus on what we just heard in that report external border control maybe even reception centers outside of the e.u.
10:13 am
beefing up the whole operation with a lot more money giving more money to african countries where a lot of those migrants are coming from so it appears the path forward here is no longer having a comprehensive european solution but focusing on those things where everybody can agree on and not letting the migrants come to the european union in the first place and the stakes are really high as as we heard a bit earlier hans and i'd like to talk about that with you because if chancellor merkel doesn't succeed in hammering out a european solution by the end of the week she's going to face serious trouble here in berlin with her sister party the c.s.u. what are her chances but you say. well at the moment obviously i'm going to moscow is back and berlin back in germany and there will be regular consultations with her christian democratic party today on these issues she will consult with her cabinet during the course of the week but in effect everybody in the party and michael herself have been saying we have to wait for this european union summit coming up
10:14 am
towards the end of the week and she continues to put the emphasis on the european solution so in a sense why this week is a crucial week it's also a week of kind of wait and see of trying to arrange things push things along in the background on the european level while here in germany people are kind of on tenterhooks to try and see what's what's going to happen what's going to come out of this but certainly it's a crucial week for i'm going to america and people are very very tense and on that european level max some analyst there talking about a europe of separate nations stressing that unity seems to be at stake and that soon there could even be border controls back again what do you make of that. well to be fair we already have border controls on some borders for example between austria and germany systematically but that's beyond what you're referring to the so-called shang and system that guarantees the free movement of people in many
10:15 am
european union countries so we already have that because of first of all migration and terrorism back then many people linked at the height of the whole crisis and we have more terrorist attacks in the european union now the numbers are speak a different story migration is down from the peak and two thousand and fifteen terrorism is also down at least the terrorist attacks in the european union but still this topic is very important to many people in the us because of the many populist parties feed off of that but don't worry the schengen system just yet it's dear to many europeans they feel it's an achievement this free movement so we're not there yet and it's here to the chancellor as well and has i'd like to ask you how do you think that this week will go down in history is this the last days of chancellor angela merkel in office. recalled so that for certain yet but certainly there is a chance about them not surprisingly enough surprising enough and it is
10:16 am
a chance that it is going to be her own the sister party the christian social union and very that is in fact going to engineer the end of her of her political career and that is really quite ironic think seeing that it's not really an opposition quality at the moment the bavarians don't seem to be prepared to budge at ole unless their demands are met in some way and marco is likely not to be able to push through her policies and if that is the case she may have to fire her interior minister from bavaria and that would lead probably to the collapse of the government so there is a real chance that this could happen but at the moment we still have to wait and see at the moment we can say that this is in fact the case here it was broncs in berlin max hope and in brussels thank you to both of you. back to our top story now that election in turkey this weekend and helena humphrey has the economic angle sara thank you very much indeed what we've seen the turkish lira jumping one
10:17 am
percent against the euro in reaction to the news currency markets feeling that the result represents a clear cut win so let's go over to a frankfurt correspondent standing by for us daniel let's talk turkey because of one hand and election result which means more of the same at the same time that a result which many see is a threat to democracy does that mean it could be a threat to german business which is close ties with tacky. you're right that business ties between germany and europe are strong there are about six thousand eight hundred german companies based in turkey and mostly for turkey though a good business relationship with germany is crucial with germany turkey has the biggest export trade volume last year they exported goods for about fourteen billion euros to germany followed by the u.k. and italy in general the european union is the most important trading partner for turkey so it's in their own interests that business relationships won't get worse
10:18 am
but one thing is very clear turkey these germany and the european union weigh more as the other way around turkey is not even in the top ten for the very export oriented german industry the trade volume with turkey was at a level of twenty one point nine billion euros last year just to compare this for example with the united states that trade is estimated to be at a level of one hundred and five billion euros and with friends at the level of one hundred and one billion euros but yes there is this fear that's also what an investor told me this morning that with now an even stronger president business relationships with turkey could suffer and that also the atmosphere for german companies inside of turkey could be rather cold and then danielle what else should we be looking out for on the markets this week because it seems like the dax is already under pressure. yeah you can see it in the background and lately a very poor performance of the blue chip index taxes already giving investors this morning quite some headache again let's have
10:19 am
a quick look at the dax you can see the curve in the background we are already started with losses this morning right now we are also down with more than one hundred and twenty points that's more than zero point eight percent down mostly the shares of carmakers are very much under pressure the possibility of us all of terror sends carmaker stocks tumbling once again dime the volkswagen being down with your shares are among the worst performers at the moment and also just a few minutes ago you are safe the latest business climate index for germany the business climate always gives a good idea about the current mood of german see ols and that business climate in the cast been dropping it seems that the situation with a possible trade war although also the political uncertainty here in germany is making investors but also see also a little bit more reluctant at the moment helena a lot to weigh out for investors and business leaders don't know quote for us in frankfurt good to talk to you. well german companies b.m.w.
10:20 am
and siemens have joined dead bussin voicing their concerns about staying and investing in britain companies will cite uncertainty around a post briggs's deal with the european union and their criticism was magnified by a new survey among business leaders in six eight new countries in the hall or eight hundred executives polled by bacon mckenzie said their firms had reduced investment in the u.k. since the breaks it vote aeronautics company said last week that no deal scenario might lead to moving thousands of jobs abroad. well it seems that germany's economy is facing some headwinds this year economic research institute recently cut germany's twenty eight hundred growth forecast to one point eight percent down from two point six percent and made an escalating trade skirmish between the u.s. and. it's been a tricky year for germany twenty eighteen began with an economic growth slowdown
10:21 am
between march and january b. economy only group zero point three percent that's half the rate recorded in the previous quarter and the outlook isn't great germany is facing headwinds both at home and abroad. is dealing with a political crisis of a very in cold engine partners c.s.u. have taken a tougher stance against immigration that could bring down the government and force new elections something that would in bold well with investors add to that the dispute between the u.s. and its major trade partners washington has threatened even more tariffs in retaliation to brussels new levies and american products experts say germany would be the big loser any new tariffs on vehicles would hit it more than other e.u. countries. sunday was the highest scoring day at the world cup so far and we have ed
10:22 am
mccambridge from d.w. sports to break down all the goals and wow there were a lot of goals we have to first of course talk about england well yet this was one of those rare occasions as an englishman where you get to come want to speak to you guys during woke up with a smile on your face yes it was only panama yes they were expected to win comfortably but it was still an incredibly impressive performance of gareth southgate side and it gives me great pleasure to introduce this one let's take a look. england showed their dominance from the start johnstone's open the scoring and just minutes later harry came double the lead a sublime shot by jesse link up made it three. before johnstone's got his brace in the forty eight minutes of my ahead of the break harry came in at five completing his chicken early in the second time off.
10:23 am
celebrates a late consolation like a winner but it was anyone who victorious six one the final score their highest ever world cup win. and there were just as many goals in perth for a trite but those games they played out differently indeed there were another seven goals from the two remaining games of the day for group say japan's clash with senegal was very different to poland's clash with colombia in the first it was a very tightly contested affair very dramatic to the end and the second there was a clear when i say let's have a look at how those games turned out. not in the us yesterday not the southeast opens a scolding us to forty minutes konstantinos was a better team and went on to two more goals on the continent a second tough government for co and one plus securing the presses through the sprawling i don't mean sutton's group potentate to make it all to group stage shows a certain time in the role. of group leaders cliffside your money opens
10:24 am
a scoring for senegal the sayings to some comical defending by japan. the summer i . was it sussed shut on goes through takashi in a week zen's a young display on the pitch nineteen year old moose of a gear restall it's in the full senate go only for japan to level again through the case until honda to all is the finest goal. so a lot of action there and we actually know that today is really crucial phase for the world cup with its being played in group a and b. and as you can see over my shoulder here we're actually being joins live from moscow now our correspondent jonathan crane is standing by with some more analysis on that so tell us jonathan what do we have to look forward to today. yes the final round of group stage games taking place today four in total fest in group and then followed by two in group b. they have to kick off at the same time to avoid any kind of funny business and
10:25 am
collusion between the sides so what's at stake well not so much in group a because egypt and saudi arabia are already out there just playing for pride the ones who watch the russian against you require to decide who will win that group a victory or a draw for the russians will see them and just do just that it's a lot closer and therefore not more complicated spain and portugal are the favorites to advance but don't discount iran if they beat portugal and they will go through at the expense of christiane the rinaldo and his teammates and what a story that would be and then we know you've been in russia for two weeks now how would you describe the mood there. i think it's fair to say the mood has changed a lot savor the last few weeks russians were always looking forward to hosting this tournament but that was tempered by a degree of pessimism about the national sides chances now of course with russia on the verge of topping the group that's been replaced by an outpouring of pride in the national team as one newspaper wrote we don't have to bite our fingernails
10:26 am
anymore we can actually be excited about the football and i think when news or draw the russian fans with sammy be excited tonight when we were speaking to said he expected the electric atmosphere here in moscow he said moscow used to be a village and now it's like international fans coming and joining in the celebrations you through expressed a bit of shock at how well the team was doing he said maybe someone was putting them under pressure maybe that someone working in the building right behind me on that note don't forget that russia is emerging from a state sponsored taping scandal for any kind of positive sporting news is very welcome so that some eyebrows have been raised about some statistics that show that russian players have run further than any other tournament the russian coach stanislav cheshire self was asked about that in his press conference yesterday and he said it was down to motivation and motivation yeah exactly a lot of people downloaded made it a lot of teams and just briefly before we go i'd like to ask you who do you see
10:27 am
advancing tonight well as jonathan summarized just now there's there's a there's a big game between you and why and russia and i fancy a year ago i just edge that group the group b. games i think it'll be a little bit more straightforward i fancy spain's comfortably and iran even though they have a chance of going through i fancy portugal to go through with spain in group b. and cambridge joining us here in studio and jonathan crane with the very latest from moscow thanks so much to both of you. and with that you are up to date now on deed of units i'm sara kelly and so much for your company everything to. come. out on. top of.
