this is the news live from berlin turkey's president suffers a blow in local elections the opposition is celebrating as it gains control of the capital ankara the commercial capital istanbul looks set to follow what does this all mean for president care to want and the future of the country we'll get the latest also coming up. it's no laughing matter comedian a lot of years a lengthy wins the first round of voting in ukraine's presidential election he's come in well ahead of incumbent president petro poroshenko and.

disaster for ferrari's charlotte clare he loses engine power in the closing laps allowing lewis hamilton to win his first race of the season at the bahrain grand prix. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us although it is being called a severe setback for turkey's president your tire pair to launch is a k. party has lost control of the capital ankara in local elections and is also facing defeat in istanbul the economic hub elections are being seen as a referendum on his leadership and many voters say they are unhappy with the way he's handling the economic downturn. it's an unfamiliar position for red chip tayyip erdogan won in local elections seen as

a test if you support voters delivered the turkish president he's worst night ever at the ballot box during his ruling laid across the country over a role in economic downturn and high inflation and unemployment left vulnerable position nor is it there is it i believe the only reason we couldn't get the results we wanted some cities is that we couldn't express ourselves enough to our nation. and we failed to win their hearts didn't take it every scholomance all of our. k.p. is sit to lose the capital ankara to the main opposition c.h.p. and possibly even istanbul to with the result to close to coal both groups have claimed victory in turkey's largest city. according to the results we won the elections in istanbul.

i say it loud and clear i know we want. to go. after voting in dozens of men is municipal councils and other local officials turks of different political leanings are processing the election results. we're happy at last let's put it this way we haven't been happy for so long that. this is a victory for people who have been aggrieved this is a victory for kurds and democracy for us people across the world and in turkey have one. i'm obviously sad about ankara it was a surprise i was in accra last week for a meeting but i think the people of ankara will understand their mistake and come back to be a.k.p. . furder one in the losing control of ankara after twenty five

years is the significant setback during this election is over the race for istanbul isn't with no side ready to admit defeat their winning is down ball is likely to become a major battleground over the next days or even weeks ahead. ok let's go straight to istanbul now did have years you'll yahaan covering the elections for us this morning yulia the opposition candidate where you are in istanbul appears to be ahead there now this is a city that in the past has strongly backed area won what's the latest. well just a little earlier the chief of turkey's electoral commission announced a victory for the main opposition candidate here in istanbul his name as a mom and that's as official as it gets for now according to this announcement he is sixty thousand votes ahead of the candidates so present ad ones candidates

of course so we would have to wait for an over all official results here for turkey but taking everything together the other preliminary results that we got so far this really looks like a serious setback for president add on and his ruling a.k.p. according to the figures we have they lost the capital ankara and apparently also lost istanbul the city of fifteen million people and important economic half of the city where president add one started his personal career as mayor of istanbul in the one nine hundred ninety so for him this city is immensely important and the analysts we talked to before the elections actually told us if the opposition manages to win and istanbul this would be a political earthquake for and a clear sign that he and his party the a.k.p. after such

a long time in power more than sixteen years seventeen years now are no longer invincible ok they're no longer invincible and they're looking at. potential political what does this mean for president. you know present adlon has been campaigning in the past weeks and months as if this election really was about himself and not about mayors and other local representatives he has been you know really giving several speeches as a day and considering that a media coverage here in turkey is overwhelmingly pro government this really looks like a defeat for him we're here in the conservative pro a.k.p. district off otty this is where the a.p. had cortez a base for example we've been trying to talk to some of the traditional a.k.p. supporters and learn what they think now about this apparent result people were

kind of reluctant to talk to us this morning some others said well these local elections don't matter that much because their beloved president will still run the country but we also spoke to one lady for example who said now this is president adly on basically getting the bill for his economic policies in the past you know turkey is now in the midst of a recession inflation and joblessness are double digits really many voters are feeling the economic downturn in their daily lives and that's what many say now it really has been the economy at deciding this vote what have been some of the. voters talking to a what else have you been hearing in terms of how people are responding to these results. well you know it has been really a sleepless night for many people here in istanbul just because this race was so

tight here in istanbul we have both candidates the a.k.p. counted that and the c.h.p. the opposition candidate at about forty eight percent of the vote so a razor sharp difference here and some of the opposition voters early in the morning told me you know if they don't manipulate the result then the opposition clearly won and that's the feeling some people had here because the state run an adulterer agency that the main source for the election results basically that we had last night at some point stopped updating the results when it looked like such a tight race so many voters now believe that there was something going on and that's the argument all the main opposition candidate here he said let's protect our data let's make sure this is a fair election and let's make sure there is no many palatial that is what he was fighting for and apparently now the high electoral commission confirm what he was saying all along that the opposition won in istanbul. thanks very much reaffirming

that electoral commission saying the overall official result indicates the opposition has want to thank you very much jojo. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news at this hour judges sentence to being the means woman to three years and four months in prison over the killing of the north korean leader's half brother kim jong nam died twenty seventeen after being smeared with a nerve agent at kuala lumpur international airport. wang pled guilty to one charge of causing harm or indonesian code cuse was acquitted last month. british lawmakers are set to meet again today to seek a way forward on the country's brax a process that after they rejected prime minister freeze the maze proposed bret's the deal for the third time on friday she's facing major pressure from rival factions to leave without a deal called the election or accept a much softer voice. a rapper nipsey hussle has

a closer look at an unlikely contender with a strong chance of becoming the country's next president. volodin american selenski the comedian candidate joking at the ballot box asking if it can cast more than one vote for the camera. zelinsky comes to the candidacy by way of a hit t.v. show called servant of the people where he plays an outsider elevated to the presidency. so does playing a president on t.v. teach you how to do it and real life supporters and analysts have different views. i don't know if there is such a person as the protagonist in the series but i'd like to believe in that with you if you take over cylin skiis knew he was not part of the system says he's against the system and there are demands for change in this country. it was

a landscape may not be entirely outside the system many say he's in the pocket of an oligarch who owns the t.v. channel zelinsky program appears on who opposes present president petro poroshenko people don't support the landscape they just want to shoulder at hewitt's it's offensive to. poroshenko is the president ukrainians have him now the chocolate billionaire who rode his confectionery fortune to the presidency in the last election to many he represents everything that is wrong about ukraine now corruption and low living standards he made his name as a pro european anti russian candidate and he's sticking to it briefly we have passed the test for our european ways and it means everything we do to head in the european direction is absolutely right with an outsider comedienne all but poised to become president many of craniums do not seem to believe he's playing games with

the country's future. ok is he or isn't he let's find out more now with you haven't libicki his ukrainian political scientist member of the nest or group which is an alliance of intellectual civil society groups aiming to develop a long term strategic vision for the country walking the show thanks for being with us can you tell us more about the rushing russian speaking selenski and the oligarchs as we saw in a report who's backing it almost in the oligarch one of the ukrainian old. marx was the one who sided with the ukrainian government when the russian backed separatist started the advance in two thousand and fourteen that he fell victim of the reforms and the corruption reforms that. made it almost impossible or difficult for the oligarchs to extort public funds and at that point it went on to government and limit as lenski the current frontrunner was the stand up comedian who was actively

promoted by television station for many years so they are linked and as far as reports go they are linked not only professionally but they all are also in good terms ok does that link mean that selenski would be the kind of candidate who as president would take the country more on a closer tact to ours moscow towards russia or would he would he be one who would be open to the some of the commons that the lenski made. in the meetings with the businessmen or meetings with the with the experts were surprisingly close to what for instance will be made of putin the president of russia saying but many people think that it's not about his it's not about his stand but it's about his poor judgment judgment and experience the fact that he's an experienced. zelinsky is basically a screen unto which many craniums project their expectations he didn't make strong

polisi stance at that point so it's very difficult to say who actually is the landscape will be should he be elected ok is there a screen for the voters who would be leaning towards the european union for example ok fetter foreshadows very clear he is very pro european what does this electoral setback seventeen percent mean for him. it's not a hit. against the european values or against the emotion of ukraine towards europe it's probably a personal. a result. personal dissatisfaction with bush uncle that many ukrainians have still i think has very good chances in second round i would say it's fifty fifty fifty fifty ok now one of one of the issues that are fascinating about this election is their war in the east has been going on claiming lives during the campaigning during the election how did that figure into the vote the fighting in eastern ukraine well basically it's a big complaint issue in ukraine right now one of the things that the opposition

called the incumbent is stressing is that we need to have strong security policy and that we need to be focused and be alert all the time and many of the selenski. supporters are people who are either fatigued with the war or are actually sending the signal that they don't want to recognize the war as the factor in their lives so ukraine is a difficult point of this at this time when the war that's claiming life lives doesn't look like it's going to end soon and there is. a more vivid understanding that there is no way how you can appease russia affectively or how you can stop the war basically it's either ukraine survives or russia as employer states it's one of the other or you can't have both those are two stark choices that's what it's looking like. you haven't thanks so much for being with us today thank

you. well twenty seventeen kenya announced the world's toughest ban on single use plastic bags the government outlawed their import manufacture human their use now they were replaced by another type of carrier bag that was meant to be reused the idea was that this would reduce waste and protect the environment but as of today these bags called non woven are also outlawed w.'s catherine on one though as the story. this is narrow be reeva a symbol of kenya's struggle to fight pollution in two thousand and seventeen the government banned single use plastic bags to reduce the amount of plastics in the environment they were replaced with poly propellant bags which are supposed to be reusable but from the looks of this riverbank it seems these bags do more harm than good there was a vacuum and the nine eleven bags came into the market but when they came into the market the way. that ancestor and was too high they were they had this that i

think mess and they were like enough and they were costing. i don't the entirety and fifty innocent so they were usable. and at the time we were not watered. the national environmental management authority says that since the ban the market has been flooded with substandard non woven poly providing bags that can only be used once and people have often thrown them away improperly the environment authorities felt forced to act the national environmental management authority has banned the importation and manufacture of these non woven bags and are now looking for alternatives that don't pose a threat to the environment. many kenyans support the latest bad eggs in not the new batch are just like other plastic bags they pollute the environment so for. some environmentalists feel that the government should not just

past regulations but also improve waste management from where i sit i think that parts you could do a little better in terms of planning and what we need to think about these long term management of this kind of material and how they're going to be disposed off. in the event that they're not useful anymore. to the economy in. kenya still lags behind in waste management with recycling eva done by private companies or informally by people who work at dump sites. but still no alternative to the non woven bags perhaps this latest ban will force ten years to be more aware of the impact they have on the environment. this is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on the show the wily veteran consoling the distraught broking after formula one's bahrain grand prix world champion hamilton admits he was just plain

lucky to get past charlotte on sunday. but first all kinds of jostling in the top tier of the abundance league a seven matches left to play i'm joined by jonathan crane from did a resource morning jonathan byron munich of course giving us the top spot over the weekend for we get to that what about sunday's big match with for yes our frankfurt nicknamed the eagles and they really are soaring at the moment brian they've moved into the top four about the champions league places there when it didn't start out with their faith in the right there really enjoying a rich vein of form at the moment the best form in years and against the side struggling against relegation it was only down to be one win and if you take a look. the frankfurt faithful were hoping to see the home side continue their run and leap frog gladbach in the standings and the hosts duly set the tone from the opening whistle was look at you a bit shooting just wide after

a mere three minutes play it. looked up held out till the break but thought cost forty fifth minute finish from an acute angle gave frankfurt the advantage. and cost to double of his towering sunny home an incredible pass from ontario bitch just after the hour mark for his fifth goal of the season. with five minutes left in regular time jenny to construct that yo bitch for and instead of finish of his own three nil frankfurt bitches sixteen league goals have been tied for second this goran charts. the victory sees frankfurt move to fourth place with their best run in years putting them in champions league contention. that johnson's frankfurt just cheap incredible player they the surprise package this season i think they are i don't think many people would argue with that assertion and i think where they are at the moment is all the more surprising

considering how badly they started the season they only picked up four points in the fast five games remains at that time but they were going to get rid of the hoots and now. is a guy that's one domestic leagues in his native austria and switzerland but always questions whether he can actually achieve results in the burns league or a big he said the critics you know frank from last season were very strong defensively on the knicker kovacs but what is done is made them exciting and it's hacky sack included players like rabbits alan and. the trio who complement each other very well different players but they complement each other well they work together well and he's actually made the whole team work together while also frankfurt the only german team still left in europe the quarter finals of the earthly things really looking up. that ok we'll be keeping frankfurt but well what about the other games on sunday yes that was a struggle with hanna and now south korea having a shocker of a season they finished second last is struggling this season they sacked dominique

her to death there last month replaced him with stevens who stevens in his at the club and against how he picked up his victory that's what. who would hold their nose in this relegation battle. returned to the shelter bench has seen a predictable focus on defensive stubbornness who they did alone and a sniff of gold a little and. colleagues under a new will to the rescue for show. was expected this wasn't the finest spectacle but shell to show just a bit more quality and took the lead on thirty nine minutes. needed one nil with his first goal for the royal blues he did well to kill benyamin stumble on hung over gave him the freedom of the penalty box to pick his spots. kind of a press more after the break but we're ultimately toothless. ms levy has shot kissed the bar. and couldn't find

a way cost nubile. one nil the final score relegation looms ever closer for. take a step towards safety. yes five six points clear of the relegation zone. now in all kinds of trouble just a lot of trouble for them let's take a look at that the title race a real good tight match was a tight match of the week and what we have to look forward to when it's been a while since you've been emirates talk about a proper title race of course and by munich fighting it out. back in favor they really had that's a fact at the weekend and you can see him that he scored two goals as they be moved to now he's now got sixteen goals for the season the only one who has more. the score to bind at the weekend to find were how to a surprising one or draw by friday so how does this affect the title race in dortmund now go back to the top that two points clear of by munich and guess who

plays each other this coming saturday dortmund against bryant in munich. prediction about that johnson i think. when i think they have to go for it at the weekend that will give dorman chance to hit them on the bright but i think they have the stronger team and i think they will win ok we'll see what comes the best train thanks very much. we have some formula one racing now and lose hamilton has won the bahrain grand prix his first victory of the new season but the ring world champion champion was given a real scare by a twenty one year old who came within a few laps of victory over this experience better. thirty charlotte broke the law record in bahrain to secure his first pole and he looked like topping not with a meet and growing pretty when until a faulty engine saw his chance his sponsor wrote with just a few laps to go. looking behind him was lewis hamilton the briton to full advantage of misfortune to ease

home and first with teammates making it a mercedes one to the clear to make do with third very hard one to take but thanks to the team for the amazing weekend and i'm pretty sure you know i'm sure has a devastating result for him as he had done the job to win the race so we were definitely lucky today but you have to take it as it comes and ultimately still gave it everything in the race and i pushed as hard as i could a first win of the season for a clearly grateful hamilton but a warning shot from his young monegasques rival that will keep the briton on his toes as he seeks a sixth championship. businesses next of monaco the world's biggest industrial fair is about to kick off it's actually now a high take brian because the buzz words are of course the industry ford oh official intelligence there is a five g. the super fast network and our correspondent kate ferguson is in hung over in order
