universe and the rest there were series 40 to be answered almost every thing this week on t w the . this is data of the news live from building vote to being counted in what could be a pivotal election for turkey. vote is chosen a new direction with opposition. candidate canals could it's darlene auto explain. president airlines more than 2 decades in power the fonts taken shortly. also coming up to me in terms of the old shouts, gibbs buildings full support to you. crime, and it's joining of joining the european union. the training and president flooded

me. so when he and the printing and people, i wouldn't be prestigious child of mine price for the defense of europeans, athens, and early results. put the opposition in the late in thailand election device pitted pro democracy parties against the military backed government of the income, the prime minister, prior to the channel to the i'm at the how it welcome to the program but count against underway and took he's general election which president richard type 3rd one risk losing off to 20. he's in power. that one has faced intense scrutiny of his handling of papers, devastating goods quakes and sky rocketing inflation. opinion pulse 5 of these challenges come out. can establish a by a narrow margin state media report invited to and that was high. if not, can the winds more than 50 percent of the boat rentals will be held on may 28th.

let's go to advocate, correspondent, you'll be hon in ankara at the headquarters of the opposition party, the c h p. usually more than half of the votes have now been counted, took us through the results and what we know so far well, more than 2 sides of the ballot have actually been open to now we have 2 competing sources of information. the state run, i know to use agency is reporting a lead for president ad. one ad of his main rival came out of college total of 50.03 percent, which would mean he could indeed win win in the 1st round of this. so vote and then we have a private, small position, friends, the news agency and here the results, the preliminary and your results are quite different. much more and narrow difference between the 2 candidates. and according to that,

none of them would get the necessary 50 percent in this 1st round. and the vote which i had to run those in 2 weeks of time. and lots of people, particularly on social media, has voice to criticism a skepticism towards the figures coming from the state on, on the new agency. they have accused the agency, all the, manipulating that the numbers in favor of present ad one. and he's a government. so there are competing voices here concerning the election results, but i should also add that still many votes needs to be counted, particularly in the big cities. on cross is somebody who is mia. so a lot can change in the next hour, and it will take some time until we have more reliable figures. so usually it, depending on which interpretation of the accounts we're following, the counting sofa tells us it's going to be a quite a tight rice do. the voters have confidence, selection is

a free and fair contest. well, they have extra being a huge concerns, particularly among a physician voters regarding the election safety of so many people have actually volunteered to safe guard and observe these elections as money towards the election of service. hundreds of thousands of people, both local, but also international observers. has a very closely followed the election day here in turkey, and i think it will be crucial to listen to their assessment at some point. you also asked about sen as well as this election has not been an even playing field. it's a competition that has been very, very heavily tilted in favor of present ad one and his government. he controls the state resources, he controls the air waves. ad one's interviews has been symbol, samuel sleep abroad cast advise most of the main tv stations here. where is his main challenge or mr collection?

only got a tiny fraction of that time. so considering the uneven conditions of this competition is actually remarkable that cl position got this fall and is really for the 1st time presenting a real challenge for president ad one and his group on how things not interviewed. coming up the deputies, usually a hunting and career. thank you for entering president for letting me a soleski has arrived in front software, visit the germany, where he received the prestigious charlemagne prize for promoting your opinions, unity. the ceremony took place in the western city of awesome. at the end of the day, a long visit to germany is 1st since the russian invasion, more than a year ago. earlier. he was welcomed with military honors in berlin. before holding talks with child to level s sholtes, he's visit as part of the european to i am that getting more weaponry. and from prior to his arrival, jim the announced the new package of another trade with more than 2700000000 euros

european union stands for freedom, peace, democracy values, that law, they may have put in his intending to destroy as civil damage the landscape, put it. but let's have a listen to what he has to say here. an awesome, all the conscientious leaders are the you live 10000 hours talking to the drawing you to of a ticket telstra face. catastrophe that the modem contests different off, but considerable chose a dishonest. if you want me to just chose dishonest teeth alone, is that or no, she doesn't mean everyone understands the minimum weight. what we understand or can you say that she is the district, the feeling of the child of a prize does not represent an end point to it does. okay. picketing and bucks then the start of you growing together and you're together with your train, with the west, west, and bulk and states mold over on georgia. i have been given the,

and the western made or a defense system. and all of that is included in this message. 2.7000000000, the euro military age package, that berlin is offering to key if. but i also think that this awards here in austin was symbolically very important as well as the promise, as we just her, it's made by the german chancellor all off shows. but also other leaders speaking here in ok and that they are determined to support ukraine on its way on it's pos towards the european union and becoming a member of the european union. the deputies, brussels, be where a chief alexandra fund. amen. thank you so much. i us. alright, here's a look now some of the other stories making news around the world. as well as military has reported fresh rocket fired from gas at the spot. the safe spot may be added by egypt. if there's a rock, it was 5 into southern israel,

less than 24 hours after the $65.00 went into effect. it comes off the days of finding between is between his route and the palestinian islamic jihad militants. in gaston, under the spanish promise of taking the straits of madrid to protest against the rising cost of fuel and fertilizer. they also want the government to bid and manage board and supplies. spine is facing to be addressed and recorded. it's hottest and driest april. 8th of this year actually laid for the 2 main opposition parties as emerging as bites accounted in thailand's parliamentary election. with about half of the ballots counted the results, put the food side and move forward. parties far ahead of the military backed, willing party of prime minister hired jen. want you for my, i mean the, the 1st kind a pallet in a 2014 to earlier i spoke to data please asia pacific bureau, check your mathis in bangkok and asked him what he's hearing in the early stages of the vote counting. well, what i heard a lot of the this,

the stay and i spend most of the day here in central bank corporate upholding station is the number 31 that's a real surprise for the country. the number $0.31 for the move forward party, a party that has its face with young millennial voters but has moved well beyond that voter electoral into um, basically if you look at bank card, it has basically taken the constituencies here in the capital of thailand. in a landslide and it's the rising star in this electoral rates. a k or the opposition looks at the beginning to as you say, but they might struggle to form a government. is that true? and how difficult is that possible? i going to be uh yeah, this is where ty elections get a bit complicated. uh that is true. uh, for instance, if you look at the last election in 2019, it was the pure tire, the main. so then the main opposition party that got the most seats and it's,

it's likely that this time around opposition party in this case move forward is like you to get most seats about a back then you're tired was not able to form a government then that has 2 reasons. there are $250.00 military appointed a senators at that. we'll also get to say and who becomes prime minister. and the boat is likely to go to the pro military, really conservative coalition here in the country. and then of course, you have the situation that you will have to build a coalition. it is unlikely that one party will get to the majority of seats, an absolute majority, and so they will have to work together. and that is quite interesting that in the press conferences, i just followed of the 2 chief opposition parties that are kind of the leading this electoral race. they both sets, they are willing to talk to each other. but i can tell you this monday,

the horse trading starts and it won't be easy. give your rights to speak to. um, let's talk about it. more totland has a long and trouble taste for you from illiterate because, as you mentioned, what level of concern is the the mot again interfere with the democratic process here. so what's the have to move forward? party is leading this race at the moment. uh, there is some concern from people i've talked to today on the streets because they have some radical ideas to reform the constitution in the country to move away from the standards like there is a law that prohibits insulting the monarchy. so they want to move away from that. they want to scrap the conscription for the military and the country. and that is something that a lot of our older voters find rather unsettling. and they were hoping that the current prime minister probably which on or travel a gain power in the military to 9 years ago was that he would stand for stability

and, and protect those old values. and they are, they're worried that this may change. so that will be interesting to see, but at the moment, who really has to say, it doesn't look like any military coups is on the, on the cards. the expectations are quite high. and if this a vote is a referendum on the performance of the current pro military government, one has prostate. that is uh quite, quite a defeating boat that they have to experienced this night. give mathis in thank call. thank you so much i and before we go to a reminder about top stores, the cell that's been counted and took is a land lock general election, which could say opposition candidates canals can extend our detecting power. he's hoping to ask the president, richard typo one who is governs the 20 years. that one is under pressure of his response to february's devastating. it's quite. and soaring, inflation, declining presence. a lot of me savanski has for safety. the child of mine prize on
