a look at the main concerns that are likely to drive voters turkey with out the ridge of ty of add one. for many people here that was long considered impossible. but soon, his days in office could be over. as more than $60000000.00 voters prepared to add to the ballot books. let's look at the issues that constructed the president's grip on power. the most pressing concern to vote has something that's being felt by everyone. here is the cost of living crisis. food prices, for example, have skyrocketed in recent years and even many middle cost to say they find it harder and harder to afford a decent standard of living. the value of the tax usually right has plummeted, with inflation heating, 85 percent last october. that's the highest, it's been in 25 years. many blame the situation on ad one's unconventional economic

policies. the president has also been criticized for his slow response to the devastating earthquakes that struck turkey se, only 3 months ago, a more than 50000 people were killed. experts say failure to enforce building codes is to blame for the highly dest told. and that ad one's highly centralized system of power had weakened state institutions. in the course of the 20 years, the ad one has been in power. he has hollowed out the democratic system. critics say he's face party loyalists and key positions crushed down on civil rights organizations and vote most of the media under government control. while ad one still enjoys the support of many religious conservatives, other states they are increasingly put off by his strong men who they gave it to

him. he also faces an unusually galvanized opposition. 6, very diverse parties. the nation, the lions have united behind one candidate. come all calypso there stated aims to roll back the powers of the presidency. rapidity aiding economy and renew touched democracy. in this election, the opposition is presenting voters with a much stronger alternative to add one than ever before with a very different division for the country's future. one that appeals to a wide, a section of people here combined that with the issues that are touching people's lives ahead of the selection. and it makes a victory for ad on anything but well 2 days away from the 1st round of the presidential vote. i'm now joined by her own i'm on he's

a spokes person for the a k p, the party of president. what of type aired on mr. armand. welcome to d. w. now this is the 1st time mr. erred on enters an election trailing in the polls. how nervous is your party going into this vote? the 1st of all, let me go, let me. uh, let me just read my remarks regarding your package. i think your package has loaded alonda positions. i wouldn't have time to, to answer all of that. but let me just the mark, my disagreement. i have been in the 10 painting in, in last 3 months, the tongue tens of thousands that part 2 volunteers. were there a night tirelessly. and let me, let me add that. i'm very proud to see that we have give you have delivered over you have promised that 5 years ago and people are giving credit to that. and the rad these are, we do a small riley's and ready to read it. in the stumble,

historic high participation, 1700000 people with the highest that we had enough. fair enough. fair enough. we're not denying that you have a strong supporter of b lemming around a lot. there. i'm very sorry mr. our mind. me just allow me to add, this is actually the sign that people will give in other time to present their door . and that's what it is. a sign that you do have a strong, a strong base still, but it is a fact that you are trailing in the polls. so how nervous are you going into this election? we, we, well, i don't know which poles you're referring to, but the pulls of that see, and like i said that so you klein and wine streaming, mr. kill it. so it'd be, as well as the polls i've seen from different organs, the different research groups are shopping this present law, usually dna. well, i believe that we will have the 1st round vin in terms of the action. and like i said, i've been on ground the last 3 months with tens of volunteers. tens of thousands of volunteers from us parked in the picture. we see on growth is

a lot different. all right, let's, let's talk about the picture on the ground because they are citizens have been struggling with a crippling economic crisis. inflation peak last year at 86 percent and is currently still well over 40 percent. how can you as a party, under whose watch this unfolded, tell them that next term everything will be better. but we are not immune from the global economic challenges. and as you know, the global pandemic crisis, russia, ukraine, more rocket, the energy crisis has impacted all countries. in fact, germany was the, was really seeing the installation that the 1st and last 40 years. so we are not immune and to be accepted as challenges, but inflation has dropped to significant the last 6 months, 42 percent. and we have created 2000000 jobs in the last 2 years in the last year but, but one had got it. so still don't have enough money to have right on the table. we

have game, we have gained the highest tories in the next 14 come in the last 12 months and we know that there are no there is nobody the knowing that there is nobody in denying that mr. um on the uh, i just want to know what your plans are for fixing the economy. yeah, its the right is, is very important if you allow me to, at this point because we are policies to continue on investing on education, the investing on innovation technology. and we would know that they would pay off and they are starting to fail to, to use the best recovery and countries i'm, i'm all these crisis and we give you continued to lot of the come through did launch the projects that we had, the natural gas in, in north sea, the all righty and the nuclear power plant, the renewable energy plants we just launched in last 6 months. i think all of these project will, will start and our economy. and people are believing that they may mind, but also your dear residents will miss heard on the policies have been, have been granted as sustainable and, and um, and an orthodox to,

to call it the for lack of a better word that could end up harming the turkish economy more than they have already done. i want to move on because under, under the current president. oh, well, that's agreed to disagree. then a turkey has withdrawn from the symbol convention on violence against women. women's day marches have been banned and the president has repeatedly attacked the l g b t q community. how is that the behavior of a democratic government? so let's women rights issue is one of the summer number one issue that we have for a party when it comes to human rights. and any woman organization in turkey can acknowledge that the biggest achievements on this issue was late in the, under that fi totally under the leadership of prison. and that one. and we will continue to do so. we will not let these and we will not these that because we will not let any rights of you have gained will going, little more beloved, should live or commit to, to increase the standers. this is why president,

the next part governments were actually consider champions of human rights that will opens in the last 20 years. like many of the code for example, are free to speak their language today just because the laws that'd be best. okay, well i do believe that that many, many women and many other members of minority groups in your country, my back to differ there. i do want to ask you, we don't have much time a but less than 2 weeks. the gums are the ones that might, people will not hand over this country to a president supported by the p k. k. referring to the opposition leader there. can you promise here? and now that your party will respect the outcome of the democratic process. look present and the other one doesn't say that, but of course be, will be, will respect the decision of all the taxes. i see that all those boxes will do present. they're doing enough for the 1st round of it. but whenever it comes out as a decision of public, of course, people respect that. all right, i will take your word for that, helen armand. thank you so much for joining us on the double you tonight. you can

think the board of directors, people will support democracy in 30 this week you granting the athletes are boycotting the world, you know, championships and contort because the sport is allowing russians and bella ruffians to compete under a neutral flag following ukraine's boycott. the international judo federation by the 8 members of russia squad who were believed to be active soldiers. now it's fear that similar chaos could occur across various sports at next year's parents. olympics, ukrainian athletes have won their fair share of titles and the sport of judo. some in the prime of their careers are now putting principles the head of any potential prize by staying on the sidelines during the judo world championships and cutoff. yeah, i was interested by understand that this was the chance to in the middle, the moment i'm very upset by the fact that we're missing the world championships

and kind of tough for me. but i totally support the decision. ukraine's position is clear. they want all russian and bella rosie an athlete, banned from international sporting events, neutral flags, or not bigger things until then ukraine will refrain from every competition that welcomes those athletes. it's just that there's no way them boycotting if you participate in competitions with them. if we talk to them, if we meet them on matters on race tracks and swimming pools in the world to be convinced that everything is fine, the war is not going on. but the will is happening every day. people die every day . there's lots of destruction. next year's games in paris could see athletes from russia, and bella roost, compete as neutral there. and where with this lead, ukrainian athletes presumably on the sidelines, once more standing on principles well standing up against the war and ukraine is

common in the world of sports. last year, ukrainian skeleton racers let us log hair us give it held a no war and ukraine sign at the winter olympics and he joins us now from show. now i'm clinics a in southern germany, let his love welcome to the w. your protest came before the full scale russian invasion even began over a year later. and russians are competing in and winning major sporting events, arm on, on dom in just one the mens 100 kilogram final. should they be competing at all? of course, not because the bus and outlets in the us in opposite parts of their resumes. and as we know, it's not possible to compete on the national competition. so one of these companies, if you're not supporting decisions, so of course they shouldn't be suspended at doesn't this week's judo boycott finding ukrainians heard ukrainian sports more of those and russian. yes, and i also think so, especially i'm not through to like how it works in our country because it was some

a few. so or the, from what i mean, you still support and biggest problem in this order is that all attention was diseased by court. but like what is not our goal? our goal is to suspend the russian, but russian audits and to be removed from this attention from i see it from international for the nations. and as we see now, even to the deductible championship, they don't get so much attention because they allowed to access that and gosh, and still can be. and it will be in, it shouldn't be in focus because they allowed to compete for me what to do with members. and it's absolutely just costing. yeah. what about the parents olympics next year, then as an olympian yourself, how do you think you create and we'll proceed? can there really be a blanket by cods of russian athletes take part? i think it's also the option, but now of course we don't know because now the don't even know if for russian and russian not was allowed to compete on the index because i see also weights and i

said, don't say as final, a final good addict. what does it mean for athletes to train their entire lives, to take part in these kinds of competitions to then boy con, out of political reasons. of course it's important understands that our country is suffering and suffering to in, in 9th, in their way. and the people loves their lives, people as a little homes. and of course, if he lost a producer, indeed it's not the biggest thought is just for what we are facing now. but of course, it's very important and it's important in there isn't because you also should keep in mind that i think it's an international sports. it's everybody, the media platform and just to, to give off of this platform to it. awesome. and what are some narratives? because they will use it, and they will use it to increase propaganda narratives around the world. and this really helps them to bring what's more and more people in the russia. and because of that, they increase their soft power and more and more people in the us and go to the

front lines and see the fusions allowed us to compete. it's a cost of their decisions as human lives, from both sides from ukraine and the russian side. and this why it's important to know that you, bob just bought for him and protect it as much as possible. yeah. you kind of lumpkin, let us laugh here asking rich, thank you so much for your time and your take on this issue. thank you for invitation and you're up to date sex stuff eco asked for. so with a story on how solar powered sewing machines are empowering the women as cameras stay to for that. i'll be back with more of the top of the
