latest also coming up hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets of prague huge crowds of demonstrators turned out for what that is thought to be the czech republic a largest protest since the overthrow of communism demonstrators are calling on prime minister bobbish to step down but standing firm. and researchers have found that gray seals and humans have much more in common than previously thought all year from a few of the cute creatures later in the show. welcome to the show. in turkey opposition candidate has won the rerun of stubbles mayoral election in molo won over 54 percent of the ballot with almost all of the votes counted in his victory speech the opposition politician said he is ready to

work with president. to solve problems his rival of the dalai yielder him from where it was ruling a party has conceded defeat the a.k.p. call for the rerun after suffering a narrow defeat in the 1st elections in march. more let's bring in de w.'s here who is following the elections it is stumble and is at an office ition rally right now julia the opposition kind of acrimony who has won for a 2nd time does this come as much of a surprise. well i don't think it comes as a surprise to him and his crew it is they have been campaigning really hard to clearly people are relieved and they are very happy so they've got or in many places here across the city like here to celebrate this opposition victory there are singing there are chanting they are repeating mysie mama lou's political slogan

over over over and over again the slogan is cash a gazelle a logic in turkish which means everything will be great this is message she also gave a short speech earlier about his victory he said from now on this city will be ruled by love equality and justice instead of polarization this is a victory for is simple and all of turkey that was his message and that according to the results that we haue from the state run on a dual agency this is a mom who won with about 54 percent of the vote and the decisive margin a difference of 700000 votes this is a clear victory let's compare that to the. the initial vote in march where he narrowly won with 40000 votes so this really is a decisive victory of course we still have to wait for the confirmation of the results by charities and the action authority but tonight it's even

a until midnight probably people will be celebrating out on the streets this is the 1st opposition victory here it is simple in 25 years a much clearer result for the 1st time around what does this outcome mean for president and one. well for president add on and his a ruling a.k.p. this is a major blow to them reputation as and i'm beatable political force here in the country they are controlling turkey they are ruling turkey for about 17 years now and for missing out on for the president is symbol it's hugely important it's a city why he was born in this city when he became mayor in 1994 and then rose to power so for him it's a movement is about self it's about power and prestige using it is a huge blow and it's a message now that comes from a symbol and that will be received in rights to charity as well so i'm sure the a

taking the sad one spot it will now have to think about it's a political consequences maybe but it's also an extraordinary message that was sent to night by the notting hill drum the losing candidate of the a k p and he has accepted defeat and he asked congress to lay to the opposition candidate we can save the party take a go around you hope you can still hear me how significant is this victory for turkey's opposition will they be strengthened and other parts of the country as well. while that of course remains to be seen but this victory really is significant it sends a mess. across turkey a key piece is no known the invincible the opposition now control to 3 largest cities across the capital is near or at the west coast and it's down with 16000000 people so the opposition candidates here in the city mom and all of them are

supposition the c.h.p. doesn't go on the support of other opposition parties they all have welcomed his victory and now it remains to be seen of whose lives will only lead but definitely this gives the opposition in this country that is under the control of the you for such a long time new hope that they can maybe also influence what's politically happening in this country. following the mayoral elections in istanbul thank you very much. u.s. president donald trump says he's not looking for a war with iran after a rain and commander cautioned that any conflict in the gulf region could spread uncontrollably but tensions continue to rise between the 2 states following around downing of a u.s. drone earlier this week washington has announced new sanctions against tehran and the u.s. reportedly launch a cyber attack against iran's military is for structure. a cyber strike

against iran's missile systems that was washington's response to iran's downing of a u.s. spy drone the cyber attack was launched on thursday and reportedly crippled tehran's military command and control systems no lives were lost in the cyber attack but tempers still boiled over and iran's parliament on sunday as persian lawmakers shot to death to america. iran's president rouhani accused the u.s. of throwing oil on the fire when tensions were already running high in the middle east in israel trumps national security advisor john bolton vowed to keep up the pressure on tiran. neither iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake u.s. prudence and discretion for weakness no one has granted them a hunting license in the middle east u.s.

president donald trump took a different approach trying the carrots instead of the stick the fact is we're not going to have a rock have their weapons and when they agree to that they are going to have a wealthy country they're going to be so happy and i'm going to be their best friend i hope that happens. i hope that happens but it may not. tensions in the gulf began to boil over 2 weeks ago when all tankers were attacked while crossing the strait of hormuz a choke point along a runs shores that a 3rd of the world's crude oil passes through the u.s. blamed iran for the strikes something tirant denies. and with washington due to officially announce fresh sanctions against iran on monday it's unlikely the standoff will be over any time soon i think stay tuned. huge crowds have flooded the center of the czech capital prague with protesters demanding prime

but a v.a.r. intervention proved white was on saw it on the go was given during furious protests among the cameroon players the mood was not improved at the start of the 2nd half when this stunning strike by iraq and shoe was disallowed for the most marginal of offsides in the build up cameroon were inconsolable and minutes later they were 3 nil down alex greenwood converting a cleverly works corner to send cameroon packing their tournament ends in violence in. and formula one lewis hamilton won the french crown pray on sunday to extend his championship delayed over team mail well terry bought us to $36.00 points the british driver start and pole position and lead a 1 largely unavenged 4 race from start to finish as potus finished in 2nd place followed by ferrari's sialic left in 3rd and last and now has 79 career whens just 12 short of making. all time record. we've probably all

seen and heard parrots and song words mimic human stage but researchers in scotland have found that gray seals too can copy human sounds to tell us more about those unexpected finding i've got to tell you reporter paula foley is with me tell me what exactly have these researchers discovered well they found that the gray cells which are found in northern europe on the north east coast of the united states and canada have an ability to copy speech and songs and that what this means is that they sense you have a similar production mechanism so the ability sort of to produce aims in their voice box similar to humans and it's potentially a new model to study speech disorders so it's a pretty breakthrough it's a big breakthrough for scientists but what i want to do before we talk about it more is actually take a look at the seals and listen to them and i want to know what song are they singing nicole so let's listen to it 1st ok.

i have. to ask. well there you go on to say one thing because they sing better than me what song was a. little far indeed it was the thing about it is that currently it's actually not been possible to develop a sort of a workable model for tackling speech disorders so this like i said before is a huge breakthrough because interesting lee people would have associated perhaps primates with sort of using an animal will say as a similar sort of mechanism to humans but it's not the case it looks like seals are

and presumably these researchers are getting around an ethical issue until through these new findings that exactly under thing is that using seals and baby seals like pups and is basically getting over this issue that you can't use newborn babies in research why because of course they're going to be with 3rd their parents. pulps in fact what happens is after a couple of weeks naturally they actually separated from their mother so this is a great way of basically doing all this research and they saying we just found out about this thank you very much and sicko. and before we go here's a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you opposition candidate acrimony who has won a 2nd victory in the rerun of stumbles mayoral election as rival denali yielder him of the ruling a k party has conceded defeat losing control of turkey's largest city deal the heavy blow to president reds have tightly aired on and his ruling
