the, the never been registered type 3rd, one face a tougher challenge. sunday's election was the biggest test of his political career . but after rallying on a platform of nationalism, anti l. g, b, t, rhetoric and lies. he prevailed, cementing his grip on power and securing an unprecedented 3rd term as president for turkey. that means 5 more years of culture wars and democratic backsliding rights groups worry that women and minorities will be caught in the line of fire. and the turkish currency has hit a record low against the dollar or to on one, but by a fairly narrow margin, it'll be a rocky road ahead for a nation divided on the call for ocean berlin. and this is the day. the

no one has lost all 85000000 people have one of the results of the responsibility given to us by our people. we are not offended, resentful or angry with anyone the how much we're very happy trying to god. the one is a well leader. there is nothing else to say about it. my real sadness is about the difficulties ahead. but i want you to know that we will be the 1st to stand up to these problems. i don't want to live in turnkey anymore. the elections were a choice between a republic and the form of the key. and i guess the people chose mana key. also on the day as jerry and all grades, bullet to nubile as its president,

the nation faces a multitude of pressing issues including weakening economy and rising and security was once these pieces, these cons, if that is these as no problem. good. yeah, good. yeah. be a jobs for you. what up it's not. yeah. because everywhere, commerce, and this would you mind just all monopolies. you don't exist in what ways you it's got some people don't want it on site back to. so it shows issues will also require another guy on the 19 a country divided welcome to the show. it's been a weekend, the 1st for a turkey and the country's 1st ever presidential run off the incumbent. orig, i'm type area on, became the 1st leader to ever secure a 3rd term, and power, or to on 152 percent of the vote, after facing the biggest challenge to his 20 year role as rival came on, can each stone didn't dispute the outcome, but call the election unfair and assessment backs by international election

observers are the ones challenger had promised to restore democratic norms before veering to an anti migrant platform in the final days of campaigning. but the, you turn failed to win him enough support to defeat or the one he w special corresponding to abraham has more the rich of type air, the ones electronic victory is still sinking in here and assemble were the majority of residents voted for his opponents. kim has killed each that a little disappointment is indeed here. honestly, i'm very sad about the election results. turkey has lost. i don't think people really understand how bad the results are. i'm very sorry. i don't think this was, you know, from the very beginning of the democratic process. it was not fair because our don't control the majority of the media sex embittered on should be the president of all 85000000. i'm going to keep going. instead,

she's acting like the president of the 50 percent out on that both candidates ran fires, campaigns with 2 very different visions for trixie. the result of the vote with about 4 percent difference shows that this country is polarized split funds. things like the kurdish question, migration, how to run the economy. and rates as ballots were still being counted. president air don't address to supporters in his temple. he thinks them and focused on unity, but some of his other statements showed no sign of reaching out to the other side. or job. does the opposition c h p loves the l g b t big. can they infiltrate the a k p. family is sacred to us. his victory speech in the capital and kind of addressed in prison. kurdish leader to select kingdom, attach

a dollar to kentucky with justice here the rights and the rule of law. lorraine, the truth drug this, you cannot get to a person out of prison who has caused the death of 51 of our code. each brothers are actually under our government data was that that is out of the questionnaire. to take those. most of them are the one also stacy's, a number of other challenges like a crumbling economy and rebuilding devastated areas hit by earthquakes earlier this year. but his supporters aren't thinking about that right now. first comes, you know, here it is, we believe and trust them. our president, we're sure he's going to fix all economic problems and friends just after talking with the law that we are very happy we were expecting these results, which many turkey has made its choice, but i think it's the right choice can the us a month for me, it's

a good choice. it may not be good for some, but for us it's good was mr. hill, syrian refugees and turkey will undoubtedly be breathing a sigh of relief. throughout the campaign, kenneth startled about to deport them from the country present, or the one said he also wanted refugees to go. but voluntarily as the turkish republic enters its 2nd century, it faces a lot of open questions. for now, they will be answered by the man who is enrolled at longest for a closer look, i can now welcome turned into our he's a turkish journalist. he was the editor in chief of the center, left newspaper to him, hurry ed, until 2016. when he fled political persecution in turkey, he has since been living in exile here in germany. mr. turner. welcome to the day. how do you feel about the result? very sad and disappointing, really. i mean, it's a disaster for to stumble across the and unfortunately i feel like losing the

country. the polls were wrong, the air to on didn't much better than expected. were you surprised by it and find the results? i know to be honest, i was expecting this because it's a race against the whole package states, you know, so everyone has been using the whole state, make sure every including media and judicial system. so how can you beat the whole state mechanism? so we de people's power, it was really tough and even so. 2 we get something close to the 50 percent. yeah. and it's what mr. and can, it's our own who has been, has been denouncing right. that these elections might have been free, but they were by no means fair because the air to one, for example, controls 90 percent of turkish media is that really wouldn't make the difference or was erred. one, the stronger canada does. he have a stronger pull on people as

a politician, then calisto had she destroyed the cookies economy and he's been power cords 121 years now. so and knowing that, that's the, the economy is, is the weakest points he use. people see, is like, oh took you would be the white it to the, the day community will be running the country and the the family will be the wiser. the families will be the why the big cetera. so do with those t is released, he succeeded to get the backing of the people and the he prevents the position talking about the economy. so it will look that one more, and unfortunately it was sort of, well, yeah. and did work out for him, but still close to 50 percent of turkish motors didn't go with the opposition. what does that polarize ation? interpret society mean for the way forward or? oh you so how people will resistance and how they relate is travel for tourist

democracy and this is the whole point of it. so we are facing with a health food a glove. so if you can see the, the full but yeah, this country is not a barrels or iran, and people really is fighting for democracy and they are so close. they verse so close to the victory. and i guess in the coming years, the hope is still there and to extend what because he can leads even though as long will be more aggressive in the coming years. what will it take for the democratic forces in turkey to build on that momentum, to build on, on what we just saw in these election? what is so is a huge to sort of the t, m o, the very different from the parts of the particular range from national is to social democrats. from the cool moments to the curves. oh,

from soft islam is to the, the national this oh, so what we're finding that was the, on the edge on feelings and trying to save the country from a kind of a religion religious government. and i guess if they can keep this sort of verity in the coming months and years, i guess they still have a chance in the local elections that piece in the coming year with early on now of presumably emboldened by this 3rd term that he's just been handled and he is likely to grow more and more authoritarian. what do you think the next 5 years will look like in turkey? so i don't think that it's a go for another 5 years. i mean 1st the economy then his health is not those so. so how can i say it won't be so long, i guess,

to keep the country full of surprises, you never know. i mean, i don't think that is to take flight use what, what is important is the, this sort of very key from the, the western countries. so we sold the congratulation messages from the western government with twin altogether. and i guess i can understand the interest of the western governments where they know that the people here, the backing the, the resistance of turkish people. and i hope this backing would go on till we can get out and we'll get it back. what does it mean for you personally and your prospect of, of returning home that he's now been handed? another terminal. yeah, difficult. i was packing. my baggage is the day before. and i was hoping to go back to country as, as a, as a free season. but now because of you listen to add on,

i mean he was ordering the judges for someone to keep the, the one will do position lead is in jail. so we are talking about a country who does the good the president can order the judges and the people shopping for execution of him. so of course it will take some more years for me to stay in the target store and electronic vendor. all the best thing you any thanks. thank you so much for taking the time to me. what are this? is it a good morning? i will be brief and i will also try to be very clear about. so i had a meeting with his majesty the king and i have informed the head of state of my intention to hold a cabinet meeting this afternoon for veterans to dissolve parliament. and to call the general election, at least i have made this decision based on the election results yesterday. and i be stop the notice with the others. it doesn't appear to say that what i that's

a yeah. spanish prime minister pedro sanchez there announcing a move that could cost him his job. prior elementary elections were originally expected for the end of the year, but will now be held in 2 months time. surprised decision considered by many of the biggest gamble of sanchez career comes after his left wing. a line suffered heavy losses in sundays regional and local elections. boats were picked up by the conservative peoples party and the ultra right box party. opposition leader of the media space. whole welcome to move and called on spaniards to vote for him in the snap election show it most. if we have just started, i get off to you yesterday, citizens, most of the majority for my party, it was and what's on chisel hasn't been removed yet. spain has been cold to do so and 54 days and seeing when they go through the us. and we can now speak to align them with cherry. she's a professor at the i school of economics and global affairs in madrid. metairie,

welcome. how big of a political earthquake is this a pretty big guy. i saw the news when the news came through. i saw it, i saw it actually as he, he gave a speech this morning and it, i think, i think it's very rare for those of us were political analysts to actually be surprised. and so that, that's often kind of fun. but it really is. i, i definitely agree that is probably the biggest risk in his career and, and this is a man who, who's kind of known for his risk taking, going back to 2018 when you know, he became, he became prime minister of be a no confidence vote. and then the very next year went into election. so this is someone who's, who's had had a few elections, has a few elections already under his belt. and seems to think that this is the right move at this time. let's take his thinking apart because spain had general elections coming up at the end of the year anyway. why would sanchez take this gamble or? yeah, and that's, that's the big question i, i think it,

one thing that's important to remember, like all elections, right. the this last election, what were the municipal and regional numbers are, are never going to be the same as what a national, what the numbers for national election might look like. apparently they've made the calculation that they can, they can still get it over the line for a national election in the next couple of months. um, the other thing that i think is really major is that the, the, the people's party is going to have to govern in tandem with the ultra right fox party. and what the bet they're currently making is that spanish citizens are going to see what this actually means in the coming months we've, we've just got a glimpse of it and cast a guy locally own, but in other parts of spring we have it. and so this is a chance to actually see what this really looks like an action and, and how scary and alarming it might be, particularly to people on the left. and that, that goes hand in hand with another gamble that their, their governing partner put

a most which has come out extremely weak and out after the selection and who, who really proved a very difficult relationship. and particularly in the last year. and they're now very very weekend, yolanda diaz, who leads to splintered off into a new party called sue my part of the issue they have now by having an election now instead of in december, is that it's going to take them. they're not going to have a whole lot of time to get organized and put together with and, and, and try to take their bite out of the left side of the boat in this coming election . so i think that such as is also making, making a bet there that that the, the socialists will able to take will be able to take a larger share of the left boat and, and perhaps not have to govern in, in that kind of a coalition. again, yeah, i want to take a closer look at the big winners of these elections that just happened. the alter right box party. you mentioned them there. what is their appeal as well?

they're they, they're, they're very right wing, their anti immigration, um, anti feminist. anti um, uh, pretty much anything you get all a tarion. um, pretty much pro whiteman. so they, they, they appeal to they, they take a pretty big chunk off of the far right. obviously of the, the popular parties both and they double the double their vote share in the selection compared to the last municipal and regional election. so. so that's huge . they didn't really, really well. and, and what's important there, i mean they, they want to have, i know, in one region, they'd like to have a law where before having an abortion women have to see a scan of, of fetus. um they're, they're very, very right wing type policies that they buy to put through. and so certainly that, that's what, that's what sanchez's bidding on here. and here's one of the things that might not work out so well for him is the fact that what the pay, what you know the,

the people's party can do is drag their feet on forming these governments so that they're not really don't have a chance to really swing into action before the next vote, because that's, that's really the dick with difficulty for the people's party is that they're, they're a pretty more, you know, normal just right of center party. they're not terribly radical. them in the pay. so it really, um, you know, yeah, they have a lot of cultural differences but, but they're both, they're both pretty centrist parties, but boxes pretty extreme. and because boxes taking so much vote share from the people's party much like put a most had taken so much vote share from from the pay. so a right, these 2 parties before used to just it was really kind of a 2 party system that yeah, until about 10 years now. now they have to, to play ball with the word stream is and, and, and that's making governing a lot more difficult. yeah. but in other countries like germany, for example, playing ball with these ad ultra right parties is absolutely off limits, right?

nobody would form political alliances with radical right forces like b s, b here, here in germany. why does not seem to be the case for spain? conservatives, or because they want to, when they want to will. and so the only way they can get there is, is through that way what the, the people's party, but the pay they absorbed in this last election was a more centrist party called citizens. that, that sort of took up a political space between the socialist and the people's party but, but really, really took most of their votes from the people's party as well. so that, that's another, you know, that was a natural, lyons in 2019 a lot of people hoped that that citizens would have, would have formed an alliance with the socialists. and it would have been a pretty centralist alliance, but their leader didn't just didn't want to do it. it seemed like it was more personal than anything else. just didn't want to work a pedro sanchez so you know now now really on the right, there's just these 2 parties and so the people's party has,

has no other place to go if they want a gover in these regions. and so their only way to do that, and that was the original accusation when when box started getting both back in 2019 was wow, they're going to have to make an alliance. and they went, you know, they went on and on about how no, they won't be governing with this party. but now in the end it's, it's the only way they can get there. and as we know in politics, the point is to get into office and, and gover. um and make your own policy and, and that's, that's where they want to go. but as, as we just saw with, you know, the socialist and, and put a most of these parties off and just take very time. doesn't always work out. yeah . at the boxes of program includes proposals that would violate the spanish constitution. so there is a real possibility for them to become king makers for the conservative people's party at what would that mean for spain tab box in government and ultra right party? it's it's, it's a pretty scary thing, you know,

and in the sanchez government is put forward a lot of progressive laws. one of the most contentious when recently that, that you may have heard of is, is the sexual consent based rape. ah, i recently wrote about for world politics review, it really had some unintended results and had the, the pay. so a and and, and put a most inviting over it because it was something that put in most the far left party lead and, and, and they, they really didn't want to back down from the law. but it went to the early release of a lot of sexual crime offenders. and so this, this, this game, them tons and tons of criticism in the party. it was a very visceral issue. and that's, that's the kind of thing. so that, that can often happen. you know that while making is just more difficult because this is harder to get to an agreement and, and we'll see the same sort of thing as much as, as much as the people's party. things that they can keep. fox under control box is not about being kept under control. i mean, their whole thing is, is to be,

you know, is to be, is outrageous as possible. they take a lot of lessons from, from trump and, and, and they're, they're constantly launching grenades wherever they can. and so i, i think that if, if the people's party think, you know, if the whole thinks he's going to be able to, to, to restrain them. i, i think he's, he's got some tough lessons coming to him. well, we'll stick around and see how that goes. the head of the people's party definitely said that this was the beginning of a new political era. a lot of material of i university. and we did many things for breaking it down for us. my pleasure. the treasure in our the country's new president has taken office bullet to knew what was worn and out of no, no gratian ceremony. in boucher, the former governor of lagos space is rising in security and a struggling economy. 71 year old was elected in february, but opposition parties are still contesting his victory in the courts claiming

electoral fraud. you know, we use storage of bonnie has more on demand who now leads africans, most populous country format. i'm a senior who is no strange asinine to around $26.00, and he's waited a long time to get to the tough job or the call as soon it will be due, he's all fish out to us to our main office. his place is already full. we've fixed in the countries that hung on the top of the priority at 3 times the gas economy needs to die by surprise and weekly, with low prices, inflation and the devaluation of crises leading. so it'd be trying to that the country's best use unemployment, which has reached an all time high and niger and economy troubles has contributed

to another pressing issue in secure receive. many young people now results to crime like find a tree and keep nothing for wrong. so as a means of survival, terry's goods have also become increasingly widespread. once this piece is useful, if that is these as no problem. good. yeah. yeah. be a jobs for you. what up it's not. yeah, because everywhere, commerce, and this would you mind just all monopolies. you don't expect what to do. it's got some people don't want it. i'm sorry. my to solve issues will also require. i know that diane's 5th 19 a country is divided. young people have to take him to the street with many voting for change. for the 1st a slip showing from those who wants to maintain the status quo. and then the estimates on travel time shows the type of risk which the new ball has pledged

demands. the one to find all he could i do, i'm trying to build out about the ability to turn around the fortunes of the country and he'll be showing crime are among them is a legal challenge. so he's an extra new in on whether he can really rich free from the policy of the past as our time, but make sure to stay informed, stay engaged and stay in touch. you can follow our team on twitter at the nearest and myself at nicole underscore for if it's the latest headlines you're looking for, there is always our web site that is of course, the w dot com for now though from the entire team you're on the day thank you so much for spending part of your day by the
