or the one we'll go to and corrupt for the latest. also coming up a big political shakeup and thailand does pro democracy opposition parties. when the parliamentary elections type voters choose change, after nearly a decade, military back room ukraine's president makes a surprise visit to friends. his 3rd stop on a whirlwind tour of europe and capitals to landscape earlier made his 1st trip to germany since russia's invasions last year. the problem felt really as welcome to the program results in turkey is presidential election show it's a tight race and is very likely headed for a run off with more than 97 percent of ballot boxes open to both stage media and

the pro opposition and can use side say president redshift tie up early. one has received just above 49 percent of the vote. his rival come out of college, the roller is trailing with around 45 percent. if neither candidate wins more than 15 percent of the vote, a runoff will be held on may 28th. now opposition candidates come out of college the role who was hoping to harness public anger at economic conditions and earthquake response. president red ship tie up early, one suffered his worst 1st rank result ever, but claims he can still retain power. they came expecting a victory speech. but unlike in his previous presidential elections, red chip type of un couldn't claim the 1st round waiting for his waiting supporters . while placing hope a non counted pallets took he didn't come at lita accepted, he may face a run of the service. don't do that. if the nation has made its choice in favor of

the 2nd round of the election, and that is also welcome was interested in edward news. we believe that we will finish this round where, where the 50 percent of the vote is the, you know, use that is claimed his party had won a majority in sundays, concurrent parliamentary elections and said voters wanted stability in the presidential office. his main rival came out of tillage. deborah lou also said he was ready for another vote in 2 weeks. this is all a nation says. second round, we gladly accepted. we will be absolutely witness selection in the 2nd round, everyone to see that he looks w earlier blamed the ruling policy of delaying results by demanding recounts his supporters seer the votes for the 3rd place. candidates would now float out of the

into the case. it goes to the 2nd round themselves and that add on with when i think you will get seen on, on some boats. yeah. back down to again, my expectations are really low. i think we can winning the 2nd round, but i'm really scared of what can happen in the next 2 weeks. and for me, this is a really scary time periods and added on. so it is a confidence, the incumbent will trial sooner or later. and extends. he's nearly 2 decades in power. god willing will win, even if that's a smaller truck. i believe well with this, with the election on results and results closer than expected. took he's political climate is likely to stay fired out. well, our turkey correspondent, julia hines, following the election day in ankara, the headquarters of the main opposition party of the c h p. and earlier i asked her

how much these numbers are expected to shift. not too much. um, you know, it's already been a very long nights here, and there is a growing sense of frustration among the opposition. they had actually expected to win the presidential vote in the 1st round. this is what many of the pre election polls had suggested. and now we have 2 different sources, basically saying that the present ad one has a lead over his main rival, mister colors stole and that none of the 2 candidates have actually won the necessary majority of more than 50 percent. that would be next. sorry to declare victory. so these are not final results. but right now it looks very likely that we're going to see a run off in 2 weeks time unit. there have been accusations flying of electoral sabotage from both that bird once a k p. and his main rival come out of college thought, oh,

tell us more about that. well, you know, pablo since this is such a highly contested election, many say it's the biggest selection in generations. it's actually not that surprising that we now see allegations all your regularities, but we have actually seen the main arrival of mister ad on this eclipse that will come from would speak to journalists. and to claim that ruling policy representative has intentionally delayed the transmission of electron results from a position from holes. and he says, many, many votes has still not been locked in or registered. he said to him and his policy would not allow that and hold on for for to just stay and watch the ballot boxes um as long as necessary. so we have these allegations now when everybody is just waiting. kentucky's um, high electro 40 to come forward with the official results. right,

so save these official results in on this uh election runoff takes place that in a couple of weeks time. is there any indication which of the 2 main candidates would benefit more from that room of election? well, i'm not sure if um a $5050.00 results. so the result we seem to be seeing here is something that president ad one is very happy about. he will be forced after all into a run off. but according to the preliminary results, the ad ones are ruling a t p and they're all for national as allies maintains they are a part of their parliamentary majority as well, although they lost a little bit. so that could give our go on a boost. and in general, the understanding here is that a run of would help the president more than it would. how does it feel? position? thanks for your great reporting. you'd have to use your, your hon. in ankara, thailand's pro democracy opposition parties of one sunday's parliamentary elections

paving the way for a challenge to the country's military backed government, the reform oriented to tie and the progressive move forward. parties are now expected to open compilation tools. if they're successful, they could bring a transition of power in bangkok and as incumbent prime minister paiute china, china who came to power in a to almost a decade ago. when a short while ago, i asked you to use asia pacific bureau chief gail motus to tell us more about those coalition talks. and if a new government is expected to be formed, that is very much the expectation. when i talk to people in, in bangkok here after this, a stunning success of the move forward party expectations were here. that's pure tired, the main opposition party. what's uh, what's big big wins they were hoping for a landslide victory and that they didn't get so slight disappointment on their side

. but both of these opposition parties have indicated that they are willing to talk to each other, that they do recognize that whoever comes out strong, this will get the top of the prime minister. but i'll tell you what the horse trading has only started and it could take weeks. and there's a difficult hurdle to take because of the move forward. part of you is quite a bit more radical and it's thinking of institutional reform and it comes to tournament, kale waterford, be incumbent to prime minister. will he accept the results and does that go with power? it was called for the prior journal, john and i accompanied him out during this is the complaint of complaining and this election. this is the crushing defeat and it's a very disappointing result for his new part to you. in any case, the constitution would have only given him another 2 years, but he is not out of the race because to a thailand, as a specific law that has been introduced by the military. a $250.00 military

appointed normally elected senators will also get to say in who becomes the next prime minister. and chances are that these senators will vote a for a conservative pro, military or government. and so this could actually help, i probably, you know, try to stay in poll on how concerned are people in thailand to the army at trying to interfere again with the democratic process. i think that's not on the cards at the moment, at least the, the army chief here in thailand has rules out any military to in the near future. and also if we listen to a p r, if the, if you listen to the new liter um of the move uh forward part parties. if you have a rock, he made clear in the comparing that she wants to show the world of that entire lines. the ballot is stronger than the bullet and thailand will escape the vicious

cycle of military coups. and i think and with this election results here, he has proof that point. time scale dw asia pacific bureau chief scout motus inbound ca for us of the ukrainian presidents of a lot of years. it lansky is in france. following his day long visit to germany. french president, the manual of my call pledged new tanks and armored cars to ukraine. after to accept the safe house, the leaders are also called for fresh sanctions on russia. polanski is on a multi stop tour of european capitals, so sure of military and financial support as a refrain prepares for an expected can for offensive against russia. feel ready visited paris in fabric well, earlier in the days the landscape was received with military honors during his 1st visit to germany, since russia invited his country more than one year ago. he also held talks. we
