the, the, this is dw news lie, but from berlin tonight turkey's presidential election, it's headed for a run on sundays election produced nuclear winter, setting the stage for a 2 week babbled between the incumbent. president richard, tell you are the one and the opposition candidates come off the ledge to vote. also

coming up tonight. the u. k. promises ukraine more air defense hardware, but it stopped short of including fighter jets, add a political shake up in thailand, pro democracy opposition parties of one by a landslide and parliamentary elections ending a decade, the military backed group. the fiber gap is good to have you with this on this monday, we begin with the election results in turkey. turkey's presidential race will be decided in a runoff election with counting nearly complete state media of and the under the news agencies say that president richard ply air to one received 49.5 percent of the vote. his wible come off college, the owner is trailing with just under 45 percent. officials of val confirmed that there will be a run off in 2 weeks time because no chance that it was able to take more than 50

percent of the vote. a glitch still new and hope to harness public anger at turkeys dire economic situation and also at the government's botched response to the earthquake earlier this year. well, the result has turned out to be almost a disaster for the opposition since they came expecting victory speech. but unlike his previous presidential elections, project tie up arrow on couldn't claim the 1st round when for his waiting supporters. before all the ballots were even counted, turkeys incumbent president accepted. he may face of ronald, 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 understood that it was his main rival command could it startled me also said he was ready for another vote. he left to

me. it's all a nation said 2nd round, we gladly accept it. we will absolutely witness selection. in the 2nd round, everyone will see that with a run of now confirmed voters must wait another 2 weeks to know who will take power . yeah, change it. so on the old countries been struggling lately, you know, it's up to a change in government would shake it for them. that's why both candidates are problematic for me to. that's why i can't say i voted with conviction that i called the sort of co job. it was obvious from the start about that this was going to go to the 2nd round. and now that that's happening. so i'm surprised. we just have to wait till i'm upset. this shouldn't have been the result. even with a slight lead, the 1st round has been one of the top is test for air to on. but the run of is

likely to be an uphill battle for college dotala. but dw special correspondence, how you abraham is covering the story for us from a sample. and i asked her whether there been any significant reports of irregularities or voter fro. i know there haven't been, uh, we heard international observers uh, you know, talking about the process and seeing that there were no voting or we do there at ease at the ballot box. however, when you talk to supporters of the opposition and also, you know, with the testament of a election observers, the general campaign, the general election is seen to be unfair. i mean, the incumbent at the incumbent president or dawn has been in power for 20 years. and in that time, media has been limited. state institutions are widely seen to have a, you know, created favorable circumstances for president erred one. and so in light of all of

the circumstances for that circumstance, for the opposition to, you know, to grab over 44 percent of that is seen as, you know, perhaps as a, as an accomplishment for also as a sign that there are a lot of people here in turkey, do want to see some kind of a change. yeah, the, the, the polls were predicting the, the opposition would be able to have a clear victory in this general election. that did not happen. i'm wondering, so what are you hearing there among people the street is what just the general atmosphere among the public after these 1st results. well, there is, of course, a lot of frustration and then a lot of disappointments among opposition. supporters. i was out on the streets of assembled today brent and spoke to a lot of them and you know, with the opposition really promised a lot during this campaign, promising and outright when in the 1st round that of course did not happen. i mean,

would they have a, you know, what they were kind of vetting on is the frustration with the economic situation of the country. and, you know, of, of the frustration around the government's response to the earthquakes that happened earlier this year. but that obviously was not enough to galvanized the majority that they needed to win out. right. but at the same time, you know, as i said, there's also a sentiment that, you know, the opposition, despite, you know, you know, all of the odds that were really against this candidates were able to, uh, you know, make a mark on the streets. and, you know, the country is going now to this historic 2nd round, which has not happened before. and that must be, you know, a message to president or the one that there is considerable dissatisfaction with how this country has been run. and there's, there's 2 more weeks of campaigning and 2 more weeks of waiting for resolution. can we make any predictions about what we're going to see these next 2 weeks from,

from both kids, from, from the, you know, the campaign for better one as well as from mr. collegiate about well, it is somewhat on chartered territory, but we are now going to, you know, we're going to have to watch and see what, where the supporters of that 3rd candidates go. a, you know, he has already made some demands out of, you know, whichever camp he would align himself with. and you know, one of that was, you know, the curtis quest, the courage question, or the question of, you know, the, how do you pay is a, is a huge $1.00. and so we will have to wait and see how these votes can be swung towards one camp for a the other. i mean, it seems that nationalism the separately a card that at present early on has played throughout the campaign will be a one that is important. but of course, she was like the economic crisis education of freedom of speech. and of course,

the response to the earthquake, these are all topics that we can expect to come up again during the campaigning and becoming 2 weeks dw special correspondence i uber, he met with the latest tonight from is temple by a thank us. and we have some breaking news. it's coming in police in new zealand say that multiple people have died after a fire broke out at a hospital in the capital willing to the blaze we understand started during the night, at least 6 people confirmed dead. the number of people are on accounted for. we will bring you more on this later in our bulletin. when details come in again, that is a fire in wellington, in a hospital in new z, but britain's prime minister or receive soon ask, has promised to send ukraine long range attack drones and extra missiles soon act made that pledge after ukraine's president voted means zalinski visited the u. k. today as part of a whirlwind tour of europe,

despite the promise of more air defense hardware, the british prime minister stopped short of saying that he would send you crane fighter jets. it was a flying visit by the ukranian president. after a weekend of meetings with you or p and lead has loved to me is a landscape touch down in britain to meet prime minister research. so you're not you're welcome to landscape to his country residents. the great to welcome you back to the u. k. whether ukrainian leda was thankful to breton you are, but also acknowledged the difficulties that lie ahead for ukraine about a change used, especially especially you and the, your government for supporting us really at this moment. like i said at the moment of challenge is the moment for us, for our society and our people,

especially for our soldiers moment this tough, difficult. but anyway, but we need success and now i'm happy that's in this way. we are in way of preparing or important comprehensive steps. so landscape is king to build up what he calls objects coalition to help ukraine defendants, aspects the u. k. has said that it will not be providing flight to just to ukraine, but re, she's do not kind of direct message for russia's president, putin. but i think it's important for the criminal tools that we're not going away . we all have, for the long time, we remain steadfast in wanting to defend ukraine, not just now to reclaim its rightful territory, but also to ensure that ukraine has the means to defend itself into the future as well as the lensky left. with the promise some re,

she seemed not to training ukrainian pilots, but without the commitment to deliver playing see it hopeful it was another important trick for the ukrainian president whose team to keep up support under the profile of the ongoing wall in ukraine. we have to look now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. bill originally and liter. alexander, look as jenko as appeared in public for the 1st time in nearly a week. it follows days and speculation over his health, state television broadcast images you see the, my fear of the 60 year old inspecting an air force base, often described as europe's last dictator. liquor cinco has been in power for nearly 3 decades. sierra broad continues to normalize ties with syrian president bush or alo, sought after receiving an invitation to attend this week's era, blake meeting. he's now been invited to the cop 28 climate summit in due buying

boston his election when was elated supporting the victory of the progressive of position need to has some shop with through time on political establishment and could bring maybe 10 years of minute feedback to me to an end. the head of the move forward policy is confident in his mandate. the sense of an update or has change and it's right. it was the right timing that people have as being through enough of last decade in the past decade and today is a new day and hopefully it's full of bright sunshine of hope going forward. new fluids convert to the young liberal and welcome the promise of change. i also feel that it carries a new meal and will bring about even more changes. and i hope that there will be

good things happening in thailand. have been look okay, you need to apply the to, to move forward policy for the matter of a quarter to 10 bill because it has to pass the on other policies. i think the very straightforward, clear, and for them you'll find that being able to execute them. oh, i'm throw money, not man, because i have the thing i need them on but forming a coalition. government might not be easy me for it has very ambitious ghost over the whole, the political system on the economy. they want to challenge the conservative roles of the monarchy in the military. entire society. in general, ross is looking to partner up with 5 of the condo position parties, including gone, is up to tie headed by the daughter of the former prime minister tax. and she knew what truck they campaigned with more traditional populous messages.

even if a coalition is formed, it might not be easy to replace the incumbent government. the prime minister will officially be selected in july and evoked by the lo house of parliament and the 250 states senate. the senators were put in place by the current leadership, and so would likely vote to protect their interests. this could scott, to move fluids, chose to form a progressive government. are you watching the the news business? these is up next. i will see you tomorrow. the guardians of truth, my name is junk and and i have paid almost every price of being enjoying this in a country like thirty's.
