>> we'll start first in turkey, where election officials say president recep tayyip erdogan has been re-elect. the man who ran the country the past 15 years survived his biggest challenge yet on sunday, results he soundly beat his closest rival, who had seemed on the verge of forcing erdogan into a runoff. speaking earlier today, the opposition candidate told reporters he accepted the election results, but slammed the country's new moves toward an executive presidency, saying turkey was transitioning toward one-man regime. reporter: extending his 15-year grip on power, a triumphant recep erdogan addressed a crowd of flag-waving supporters after claiming a first-round victory in a landmark presidential election. the winner of this election is democracy. the winners are every one of our 81 million citizens.

starting tomorrow, we will be working to fulfill the pledges we made to our people. reporter: the campaign had seen a revitalized emerge asas a serious challenger to erdogan's a.k.p. as ballots were still being counted, the party complained about the conduct of the vote, accusing state-run news agencies of publishing early results favoring erdogan. earlier on election day, it had also denounced what it said were attempts at electoral fraud and voter intimidation in the south of the country. but on monday, the opposition leader finally recognized his defeat and called for unity. there are no significant differences between the records that were transmitted by our polling station officers. and the figures and rates announced by the supreme election council.

so i accept the results of the election. these were turkey's first elections following a constitutional reform that granted sweeping new powers to the president. erdogan himself had pushed for the changes, which allowed the executive to rule by decree, as well as to appoint senior judges and administrators. having been handed a renewed mandate with sunday's vote, the turkish president now seems to have all the cards in hand to govern as he sees fit. >> president's erdogan party looks set to retain their majority in parliament after winning 42% and 11% of the vote. turkey's party has reached 109% there are hold it needed to enter parliament. that will make it the second largest opposition party in the new chamber. >> taking the streets to

celebrate the result. with 67 seats, the pro kurdish party becomes the second largest opposition faction in parliament. >> this is a great feeling. wee achieved this victory despite political suppression, violence, and a media blackout. we're very happy. >> i hope there's stability and happiness in turkey. i think everyone, turks, kurds, arab, should live together in peace and unity. reporter: according to state-run news agency, the h.d.p. won 11.5% of the vote, while over the 10% minimum threshold needed to enter parliament. the party's success comes despite the fact that its presidential candidate has been in prison since 2016. he was arrested on charges of linked to the p.k.k., something

he firmly denies. president erdogan's a.k. party, meanwhile, has fallen short of securing an outright majority in parliament and an unexpectedly strong showing by far-right nationalist ally, the m.h.p., however, could translate into the stable parliamentary majority erdogan is calling for. the two parties are projected to get 293 and 50 seats respectively in the 600-member schame per. the opposition republican people's party, the c.h.p., finally has won just over 23% of votes, its worst results in a general election since 2007. anchor: let's go live to istanbul, where our reporter is standing by. let's go back to the speech that the opposition candidate ince gave not not long ago. it was a concession speech, but not without pretty critical comments about this new term for president erdogan.

tell us about that. reporter: that's right. supporters were hoping he would make it to the second round, but he did concede defeat. he also said, however, he would not contest the results of this election that he calls unjust. he also said that although there was fraud, that there was not enough to change the outcome of this election. he also called on recep erdogan to be the president of all turks, not just those who voted for him and for his party. he feared that turkey has lost its democratic values and that from now on, he says we'll see how dangerous this new regime really is, referring, of course, to the changes to the constitution that were complemented starting on sunday. now, ince did have little hope in his message. he did say that given the

strong youth support that his campaign received throughout the campaign, that he has hope for turkey's political future with that youth. anchor: what kind of changs are we talking about concretely? how is this going to manifest in the lives of average turks like in your istanbul? reporter: well, there were 18 amendments that were dopped in the referendum that passed just by, you know, very little by just 51% in april of 2017. and that means the new president, so erdogan in this case will be the president, and he'll also be the head of government, and that he'll be able to choose his own ministers, cabinet ministers, and those ministers will no longer have to face the parliament. they will be more -- they will have to say in their work. and finally, erdogan is also going to be once again the head

of the party that he founded, so we're going really from what was once a parliamentary regime to a presidential one that exists elsewhere, of course, in the world, but here in turkey, a lot of opposition members are quite worried, because erdogan will also have the power to name judges to the supreme court, not all of them, but part of them. he'll also be able to veto laws that the parliament will pass. and the parliament itself is weakened, even though it goes from 550 members to 600. the role of the parliament will be weakened. that said, erdogan's party, along with its alliance coalition, it does have a majority in parliament, and that parliament will still be working alongside erdogan.

anchor: thank you for that, that report from istanbul. next now, new year gentleman's president is calling for calm after at least 86 people were reportedly killed in what's believed to be ethnic violence. that's in the central state, where mostly muslim nomadic herders are suspected of attacking christian farming communities. a curfew has been imposed in three parts of the state. migration is a hot-button issue near europe, and leaders from across the bloc met in brussels sunday to try to get on the same page ahead of the e.u. similarity later this week. but no consensus was found at that informal meeting, where the main sticking points with where borders should be open or closed, and how the country should share the burden. here's more from the french president, emmanuel macron. >> we have an overall approach that isn't focused on just one aspect of migration. rather our approach looks for external solutions for people

coming in and protecting borders, as well as internal solutions, meaning secondary ovement. this is the only way to solve the crisis, which still has real consequences for migrants today, but which peaked in 2016, and is a political crisis linked to several situations in umerous member states. anchor: here to talk about the crisis in europe, let's joined by france 24 europe editor, katherine nicholson. when we hear president macron talking about these external solutions for the crisis, what does he mean exactly? reporter: he moons a few things. among them, proposing more money for some of the countries where some of the migrants wanting to come from europe are coming from, the idea being to make it less attractive for them to leave their home country. there's an e.u.-africa trust fund for development, and he's putting forward an extra 500 million euros to be invested in

that trust fund. another external solution he was talking about could be something that's actually very controversial, the idea of instead of allowing migrants to arrive on european shores and then process them, to actually stop them on the edges outside of the e.u. and process them there, setting up specific migrants processing centers, so this would be, for example, north africa, libya, egypt, morocco, also niger, and they've also talked about albania in the balalkans. this has been championed by austrian's chancellor. he won election last year after a campaign that was very heavy on immigration rhetoric. there were a huge number of people that floated through austria during the 2015 sort of peak of the migration crisis, very controversial, though. of course, e.u. law only applicable inside the e.u. so help assure migrants' rights. and i also mentioned that the

italian deputy prime minister is in libya today, and he's specifically talking about this. he also is championing the idea of e.u. processing centers outside the e.u. to talk about the internal solutions that emmanuel macron touched on, that includes beefing up the e.u.'s border force, and he also wants to see deportations sped up and stream linde. he's joined in that by several other leaders, including angela merkel and the spanish prime minister. anchor: the informal meeting, and we saw pictures behind you as you were speaking. this is ahead of this major summit that's coming up later this week. what he wants the likelihood that anything definite on the migration crisis is going to be decided a few days from now? reporter: as always, 28 member states, 28 leaders to get on board, and we've already been told really, look, there's a lot of goodwill, the belgium prime minister saying progress possible, people talking about the right direction for debate

coming from the italian prime minister's proposals, but essentially angela merkel among the people putting the key bosh on the idea of any kind of comprehensive, unanimous solution coming out of this week's summit. angela merkel really under pressure over migration. she has been talking about finding bilateral and trilateral solutions between france and germany, or germany and italy, for example. you can see lots of leaders likely to be jetting off or making phone calls to each other. but no, don't be expecting any kind of comprehensive, new, full overhaul of e.u. rules at this stage this week. that's not to say that it's not going to be pretty exclusive, though. anchor: thank you, our europe editor on france 24. world cup news for you now -- france is gearing up for the group c final game against denmark tomorrow. the french midfielder gave a press conference in russia ahead of that game, where he said this might be his last world cup. we get this report.

reporter: for years, he made his first mass media appearance. for journalists use to the daily press conference, it was a refreshing change of tone. >> i love you so much. i've missed you. >> it's a pleasure to see you all here, just for me, you know? that feels nice. >> the france midfielder is a divisive figure, but whether you love him or hate him, he believes no one is feeling different. 2014 saw him voted best player at the world cup, and the 25-year-old knows highs and lows are particularly after the transfer to manchester united. >> the money, the transfer, the 100 million, since then, like i've said, it's not that i'm being more criticized, but rather, that people love me even more. there's so much scrutiny around and he this transfer, well, it would really change my life. reporter: he gives the impression of wanting to show

off his talent, it's not necessarily the case with his teammate, with just one goal so far from the forward at russiaa 2018, he leapt to his defense. >> forgot about the euros. don't touch t. you saw it against peru. he hupped us track back and keep a compact shape. he's got a quality. everyone knows this. so once again, don't touch him. reporter: he seemed happy to address all matters from an entirely possible french victory at the competition. the national side had. he even reveled in his presence on social networks. >> it's like you can't get a haircut and play football afterwards. it's the french mentality, but that's ok. i don't mind. i keep going, despite the critics. people call me a showman, but i'm just me. reporter: soon enough, the final scombhiffle a quick conclusion. >> we montreal see each other for a while.

anchor: if art is for your thing, a new museum is opening tomorrow. it will highlight the sculptor's work, as well as other artists through contemporary exhibits. we get a smeek peek at the useum. reporter: it's known and loved the world over, walking man. since its creation in 1960, it has, like the other works of lberto, fascinated art lovers. the artist himself, here he is, walking to his small studio in paris. and that very studio has been brought back to life. from the mattress to the cigarette butts, everything here is original, and it was all saved by his widow. reconstructed exactly as it was, the studio was essential to the swiss artist. for 40 years, he worked here.

even when he became rich and famous, he never traded in the 24-meter-square studio for a larger one. even if he spent long hours in a small space. >> i work all the time. it's not because i want to. it's because i can't stop. i'm obliged to go to bed at 3:00 in the morning so i can stand somewhat upright the next day. reporter: at the start when he rents this, was' young artist starting out. so it was fitting of his means then. but it became such a personal universe that gives us the impression that he could only create that. >> and it is in that very studio that he created hundreds of works, some of which haven't even the light of day in 50 years. anyway, they will become permanent fix tours at paris' ' new mumuseum honoring the artis

9 sculptures, painted pleaster are thin, fragile. the artist himself said they eflect t his view of humanity. >> i always have a progression as if they must rely on an incredible amount of energy to stay standing from one moment to the next. reporter: the institute pays tribute to the artist's love of human fragility, a place where visitors can approach the works and ponder their delicate beauty. anchor: time for our business update with brian quinn. you're going to start with deepening trade ties between france and china. reporter: the french prime minister is in beijing, thoping secure about a dozen business deals in sectors such as aviation, nuclear power, and agriculture. france wants to rebalance trade with china bring bringing down

its trade deficit, estimated at some 30 billion you're roys. but unlike the trump administration, they will not use confrontational measures to do so and will instead encourage more trade. here he is. >> between a third and a half of our trade deficit with is china. you might think there's a right way to limit the trade deficit would be to limit trade. our goal is on the contrary to rebalance it by taking advantage of this incredible market that is china today, which is developing rapidly and with which we must engage in trade and we must be stronger. anchor: the french trade strategy is very different to that of the u.s. reporter: indeed. "the wall street journal" reporting the trump administration is working on new rules that would block firms that are at least 25% chinese own from the buying u.s. companies involved in industrially significant technology. the u.s. also planning to block additional tech exports to china. their aim apparently to stifle beijing's made in china 2025

plan for the country to become a global leader across the tech spectrum. earlier, france 24 spoke to the head of trading about what that could mean for the markets. >> another monday morning beatdown in the markets, that's for sure. it seems the trade hawks are circling out of the u.s., and the market's reaction is pretty much on cue here. this is another escalation. more so towards the intellectual property rights by putting forth possible prprohibiting g of investing in tech sector. this all goes back to this big kerfuffle that they have about china stealing the intellectual proper rigights. this could be a bridge too farr ththat we're g going to cross o this one, because this could really lead to some significant tariffs. you know, in the neighborhood of a 600 to 800 million. we're getting into serious territory here. anchor: how about the markets here in europe?

reporter: european index is also spooked by the u.s., especially over trumb's continuing threats automakers. the sector losing over 1.7% in monday trading. political worries especially in germany over efforts to resolve the migrant crisis also weighing on the markets. london's ftse 100 down over 1.25%. here in paris, off, and the frankfurt dax down 1.4%. anchor: just to wrap up business, women in saudi arabia are finally allowed to drive cars, sbhut people are using that as a business opportunity. reporter: that's right. ride hailing services like uber have long served outsized percentages of women who weren't alallowed to drive themseselves, but now that thth are, some e of those women w wi becoming professioional chifere on the very services they used to rely on. reporter: rare have the drivers been this excited to get to work. this woman is approximate to pick up her first passenger

ever. a dubai-based ride hailing app. but this chauffeur has only just learned to drive a car. >> this morning, when i first got behind the wheel, i felt tears coming out of my eyes. i pulled the car over and cried. i couldn't believe that we can now drive. reporter: 70% of the service's clients are women. until now, they were not authorized to drive. so is this first client. >> it was amazing. i was just like immediately tweeting to my friends, this is like -- i am ordering a cab and being driven by a female! this is the best! now i can be a driver! reporter: women can be drivers, and they can also get easier access to many other jobs. that's one of the goals set out by saudi arabia's crown prince

with his vision 2030 plan, bringing women's participation in the work place up from 22% to 30%. it's part of his bid to transform and diversify saudi arabia's oil-dependent economy. three million women are expected to drive by 2020, and they will need cars and insurance. fresh clients, the industry needs, car sales fell 22.3% last year. reporter: still a ways to go, you might say, but kind of a feel-good story. anchor: definitely a step in the right direction. it's now time for our pressure iew. on the set, going to take a look at the big stories of the day. lots of reaction,n, first of al to our top story, turkey's elections. reporter: that's right. we've been looking at the turkish front pages. let's start with a turkish

daily. they're having giving have a simple headline on their front page. victory in the first round, or a first-round victory. the president's victory, that's what another turkish paper says on its front page. the president has declared himselfs the winner of sunday's election. now, there is this real sense of vindication from the pro-government papers, in particular that paper thahat we saw where we actually found an opinion piece from the english version called the daily, in which the rides almost sneeringly says that those who predicted an erdogan defeat have been left red-faced. i quote, for weeks the western press was full of rushish, analyzing how erdogan would fail. well, he's here to stay, and it's up to the western leaders to accept it. anchor: i imagine there's also a lot of criticism in the international press as well. reporter: we found one piece of rare dissent from turkey's last oldest independent newspaper.

in this article, the writer says political islam has won, and democracy has won, and basically the writer argues that there's something fundamentally incompatible between religion and politics, and with religious laws, the last bastions of democracy will be wiped out. now, from the british papers, the times argues the results show that erdogan is alienating many turks, in particular secular turks, and his inner circle has been reduced from what once was a diverse, educated lot to a click of yes men and yes women. there is, i quote, almost no one who can speak truth to power anymore. anchor: sports and news. england's thrashing of panama yesterday in its pool match is making lots of headlines. reporter: dominating the sports pages in the u.k. the english side, thrashed panama 6-1. it's their biggest ever win in the competition. it was fantastic. that's on the front page.

and now, as you see from the sun sport, they're thinking that maybe the english side could go all the way. obviously they have to defeat belgium in their final pool match toçça÷yññómómómóoó'ó'ó'ó'g
