chat show the alan generous show we know that they've met members of the manchester united team so we have seen them in relatively good spirits the dive as though they've been able to speak out more publicly we've had from a number of them in fact we spoke to one of the caves who is very much involved in the rescue and he spoke of the fear leading up to those boys being pulled out alive he was telling us that a lot of the time. and it looks like we have unfortunately lost our correspondent charles charles until we bring her back in later programs so let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. says it has launched cyber attacks on the indian military computer system past week in retaliation for iran's alleged downing of a drone u.s. official said the cyber action disabled systems that control rocket and missile launchers u.s. president donald trump said he'll impose new sanctions on iran this week.

party. it's a mayoral rerun that could redefine turkish politics. is stamboul is deciding between 2 main candidates. you'll get him from president rich uptight a k. party and chris from the opposition and who was mayor for 18 days before a rerun was called had won a tight race but the courts agreed that there were voting irregularities and cold a rerun. was argued at that hour we determined to keep going until sunday june 28th . that we were ready to show our national will let the politicians and that's exactly the point this election is a big deal one has long been tightening his grip on power and has been accused from many quarters of tipping tookie into authoritarianism. says his campaign is a fight for turkish democracy. as a turkish citizen and as

a young university student i supported model because i believe his projects are projects good at solving real problems. early ones policy those still have a lot of support. among the key i'm an individual who suffered during the times when those with the heads covered for religious reasons were unable to piss you an education for 20 years and 20 years later i was able to get an education and become a teacher the a capons he was to be a call for this app president and one was the reason for this thinking the old. if he loses the opposition is emboldened and there will be renewed questions as to how long one can dominate turkish politics. but for now let's bring in due to these dorian jones who is following the elections in istanbul for us what can you tell us dorian about today's turnout how busy is it at polling stations. well here at this polling station in istanbul's

district a well known stronghold of the opposition against president voting has been brisk since the opening of the station in a city that normally started very late and not really seen as an indication of what is widely expected to be on the highest turnouts in any major vote in turkey similar reports all across the city both from the opposition and from supporters of president candidate been really yield to him and people have been returning from all over the country to vote they've been breaking their summer vacations to come back here hundreds of thousands of people have been coming back the roads have been lucky airports of being full as all sides i think see this vote as potentially one of the most important for the future of the country and for the future of democracy because both sides say they are defending democracy the opposition candidate says that he's victory was deny to him unfairly while the candidate been a legal term of president heard once as saying that he was a victim or fault so the stakes are very high on both sides can you remind us why

we're actually doing a rerun right now. well it's all centers. of finn victory of all of the opposition he won by around $14000.00 votes in a really short to feet for president one who's dominated this city for 25 years it's where his career started he's from istanbul and it is the power base of the president is the most city in the country accounts for nearly half a taxation a 3rd of the economy in many ways it's the adage goes he who controls istanbul you seem to control turkey and the loss of istanbul was seen as a devastating blow to earth one and he's kind of the been a real term said that he was a victim of voting irregularities now that that claim was denied but the ruling authority the reelection of party said that there was some technicalities in eligible voting monitors and they ordered a very controversial decision to rerun this vote and that is why the opposition are

outraged they say this is nothing more than a denial of democracy so that is where we are at the moment. you are suggesting that defeat would say something about the strength of. a cave party would it hurt his ability to govern in any way any national consequences. well i mean istanbul is seen as the 2nd biggest prize in turkish politics after the presidency and for anyone who wins it in many ways they can set that if the agenda for the country what they do in this country is closely watched and in many ways that's why the opposition scene is in many ways a platform to in the end ultimately challenging that is how one rose to power using a similar path he set out his fall in istanbul and then went on to dominate politics and that's why other one sees in many ways it's such a threat if you opposition do take istanbul it will be seen as one of the biggest blows to our president. ok thank you dorian jones in istanbul.
