a day exhume dryly. even though he's not up for election. and one is hoping his own personal popularity will help make the difference because after a decade and a half in power his ruling party is facing losses. we have to have a study that out there that's mainly because of the worsening economic situation last year's currency crisis sent annual inflation soaring to about twenty percent and sept growth unemployment is on the rise. not just here in istanbul people are now queuing for subsidized vegetables in state run markets solid growth and rising living standards have driven the president the electoral success in the past sixteen years but now turkey is in the midst of a recession and many voters say. they're frustrated about the economy polls suggest this could erode support for adams ruling

11:12 am
much of the focus is now on the big cities here in turkey and we might actually see some surprises there the capital ankara might get for the first time in sixteen years and opposition mayor and here in istanbul is symbol which is considered to be the biggest prize in these elections and we might see a tight race between president add on's candidates and the opposition votes. the economy the economy and the economy many voters are complaining that their personal economic situation has worsened in the past year unemployment is at a nine year high inflation is a twenty percent and many things basically from baby diapers to vegetables got so much more expensive i've talked to a few people here let's have a listen to what they have to say is. used to do

11:14 am
well the president is in fact a companion as if this vote was about himself i just saw him at one of his biggest rallies here in istanbul a few days ago and i found it striking that he is avoiding talking about the economic problems instead he's talking a lot about achievement or about completely different issues he has focused a lot on the terrorist attacks against muslims in new zealand he's talking about palestinians in gaza and he's also trying to discredit the opposition blaming them for collaborating with terrorists and all these elections likely to be free and fair. well in the past elections already the opposition house been complaining about vote rigging and irregularities so this is probably going to be an issue again especially in the south east eastern part of this country and so is a fantasist airline in his a.k.p.

a proxy for tikkun it's pretty much has reached its peak and so yes it would be unconvenient if the u.k. suddenly participates after all in the european elections the french president has said he's not in much in favor of a long extension but after all the u.k. e.u. summit last week has made that suggestion that that offer is on the table and i think so what donald just he refers to is some any piece on the remains side on the pro european side who have said look if the u.k. would fall out if it would be a hot breakfast that would be a showcase that leaving the european union is just a bad idea and what else have you lawmakers been saying about bret's it's been a. while there is the chief directive negotiator of the european parliament for instance who has said he's a little less optimistic that donald tusk and he believes that remains has no chance but that after a couple of years the u.k. were returned to the family of e.u. nations so there are some positive was here from
