despite level tension as long. correct? what's the interest to catch citizens? but there are certain areas where you have to act sometimes a little where you have to act with ellis and very have to act with different countries or neighboring countries together. in that sense, we are taking the interest of the turkish nation to touch people at hearts. the very welcome. this is on the international with the latest world news update. it's great to have you with us this. um, we stopped in tech. yeah. where people are rallying on the streets. is there a way the final results of the general election of the polls closed on sunday? we're bringing do all the special coverage of the vote. the the
5:02 pm
best bring you up to speed with the latest update to the ballot saw still being counted official to i could stake media reports so that incumbent president read the other one is leading the race with just on the 49 percent of the popular vote. one is main opponents come all the collects to ro lewis trailing with 44 percent. so now i've done is in 3rd place with just 5 percent of the votes that go onto the parliamentary vote. now the peoples, the lions coalition which includes the ones a k potty, sorry, fossil fuels, more than 50 percent of the ballots. the national alliance, led by tillage to roland has gone a day, but there's a full percent. walton, on our guns in festival alliance, has game around 2 percent us, and they to it is copper. so hundreds of locals of wasting the election results of the job. but in the streets to rally pulled back. candidates, people are seeing waving flags with crowds. don't think i'm charging nice songs secure, we're just this is remain on high in the main office vision. candidates come on
5:03 pm
tillage to grow. lou has those 2 supporters to stay up on line the blog started with 60 percent. now decruz below 50 percent. the ballot observers in our officers and election consuls must not leave their places. we're not going to sleep tonight. my people. i'm warning supreme council of elections. you have to provide data from the cities ballots. we have a crime, you mom or the mayor of is campbell, who is also promised to be given the posts of disputes, the president, if come on college that all of wins the elections. he said, 13 president will to kit is kim on college that although he made this statement while the bellows start being counted, but you, my mold, and now the victory of coolage that all lou uh before, uh, all of the ballots are cabinet. so uh, this was immediately criticized by these folks personal voc party,
5:04 pm
um actually he said that this is kind of a dictatorship is under that a caution even before the results are finalized. suddenly the spokes person of the opposition, the lions and the mayors went on television in a flurry and began to say that the n a dual regency distorted the data in a classic way and a duly receives this data from real people. it doesn't matter if a political party doesn't like the results. if there's anyone who needs to take lessons on this issue, it is cml carries to wrote below. and those who carry out this propaganda in the opposite direction. if people are looking for a dictatorship, this approach is dictatorship, this is an attempt to assess and age. the national will not clean up because we can understand that there could be kind of a pro, locations from the opposition lines. this side, as the statement comes before the ballots are counted. a minor incident is not taking place out postings to assign with assign,
5:05 pm
breaking out between suppose it the ruling party and the position closes. another scuffle was reported at a different location between locals and event organizers. close to so if you're still a list that yes and can is samples for more for like to see task now many thanks for joining us on the program. now at this point, more than 92 percent of the presidential ballots have been counted. the other one has gone is less than the 50 percent that he would need to avoid to run a boat. we'll see what reaction to that in all honesty leading up to the elections, i thought i had a clear idea of what could potentially happen. and this was taking into account that we could see a 2nd round of elections. but looking at the scenario now, it's really difficult to say and the reason behind that is yes. currently the president or the incoming president is around 49 percent. calista role is 40 nearing 45 percent of those votes, so there was
5:06 pm
a projection which objectively would suggest that the voting will stay at about 49 to 45 percent with president our to on taking the lead, but not necessarily guard gathering the votes. he would need to declare a victory and formed government and finish these elections in the 1st and single round. but what makes sense a little bit more difficult would potentially be the reaction of the people they've already taken to the streets and celebration. so this brings the question a number of things. are they celebrating a victory of 31 and his party, or is this more of a victory against coalition at all the who, who has claimed over the last few months that she and the coalition, that these forms will take, or the one down and on see 10, and essentially a share in a new era of politics and take, take the future of the country for the next 5 years. there's so many dynamics in place. so if we take the, the 3rd candidates into account as well, who currently sits at about north of 5 percent of the vote. there is a high likelihood that we could see
5:07 pm
a 2nd round of voting to happen. but there is still the case of the votes that were tallied outside of the country. so what we're looking at right now is there's about 6, maybe 7 percent of the worlds that haven't been considered as to whether or not this is. it is stumble in on colorado or outside of the country is yet to be seen so much likely. we can see a 2nd round of elections, thoughts if something happens and these votes are gathered and the majority is guarded by the incoming president. we couldn't very well see the 1st round of elections, comfortable clothes with a clear victory for are the ones that we've seen pictures of hundreds of people running on the streets 92 and you say it's a similar scene is stumbled. i think i can have caught holdings and then 5 was, could you give us a clearer picture of, of what the mood is like and how many people are on the streets and what the they doing and what do you make of the facts? that's
5:08 pm
a place to revenue is off to support is to stay up all night the i understand the rhetoric behind the color cheryl the statements, but the streets are on and off. so there are celebrations and then it's quiet like it is right now. i can hear some horns in the distance, so it's on and off the leaders of both parties. the main political parties did say days into the elections, to the voters, do not go outside. i mean, this doesn't mean don't go outside to vote, but this means once you've custer votes, go home and ensure that we don't give any room for security issues such as provocative issues. this could be riots or some sort of civil unrest. so the fact that the opposition political candidates said that we ensure that so sorry that they want everyone to stay up all night and stay at the polling booth. it seems like a rhetoric that brings a number of things into question. this is what it brings into question based on
5:09 pm
what i understand the a coalition that he farmed kim, alkalis total of 4 weeks, 4 months from different sides of the political spectrum. not necessarily people that agree with him. and his policies have been attending educational courses, such as this is what you should be doing at the paulding station. this is the, these are the kind of precautions that we need to take. this is the process that's involved. so there was a period of educating the general public observers, people that would be mon, or reading the monitoring the, the electoral process. so now that we're looking at some of the numbers coming out, the opposition leader does not agree with the numbers coming out. that's a different rhetoric in itself. the understanding is regardless of what's being reported right now. the total votes will be tallied up. and regardless of what an adult agency is reporting, what opposition media is reporting. the reality is that the supreme electoral counsel will the side of victor. but the reality is if the victor is not decided in
5:10 pm
this one of elections, then there's round to, but this also complicates things further because so you know, no one has about 5 north of 5 percent of the votes. if the 1st round of elections do result in a 49 to 45 splits or something along that line, then that brings into question even if seen on a one supports the opposition party or the presidential candidates. cuz the shuttle is still may not be in a position to win that round of elections. and there's a very high likelihood that he will not support the opposition, mainly because of its policies towards and with the general pro kurdish age. the party that has a legit organized organic ties with the outward tara group which is recognized as such. and by the european union, by the united states, as seen on, on being more nationalistic would rather potentially, and hypothetically, speaking support of the incumbent president and his policies. and this could decide
5:11 pm
a clear victor, even if that's not today. if it isn't a 10 this election, so slot. is those go into a rough? so let's do. do you think the next 2 weeks could see tensions intensify further? do you think we could stay, protest rallies and maybe violence on the streets. i'm in no position to rule that out. of course there is a potential for violence, which is why the 2 leaders and both political spect on both sides of the political spectrum came out to their support. as i said, once you've cast your vote, everybody go home, don't take to the streets. we don't need celebrations because of the security occurs concerns that are involved. of course, there is a great deal of tension and this isn't just an exclusive to today, or it's not going to be exclusive for 2 weeks from now. this has been a general feeling that there's been an ominous presence in the air for weeks 4 months. some of these are ready for the last year, maybe 2, for
5:12 pm
a number of different reasons, whether we're talking economic, whether we're talking domestic policy, whether we're talking foreign policy or just the general rhetoric that political leaders have been putting forth. there is a general sense of tension and by the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it's going to go away. so regardless of what the outcome of today's election will bring about the general idea or the consensus among the turkish folders, was that no matter what happens, we just want this to be over with. now if we're looking at a 2nd round of elections, that's tons feeling that much of the tow trucks, folders are feeling, will continue. it will carry on, which i'm in no position to say what could happen. i'm not here to predict what might happen in terms of um, security reasons or where, where there was the civil unrest. the possibility for it is as high as it is now, as it may be that people just want to and on. so that can contrast the reports we've had for the past few hours from both times on who was on track for winning
5:13 pm
this election to considering the other ones. allies control the government. most of the country's media outlets. just how much transparency is that when it comes to the official results of the boat? that's a good question because of course we can argue day in long about whether the elections are fair, whether they are free. the one thing that does remains the current administration does hold a great deal of power and this isn't necessarily a one man. regime is as much as the opposition likes to say. of course, there's a great deal of campaign funding that goes into these elections and considering that to the current administration has been in power for more than 2 decades. that funding just adds on and it adds on which pays way for somewhat unfair elections. but what really suggested could be unfair is the general monopoly that the current administration holds over media. this is not to say that the opposition doesn't
5:14 pm
have their own media outlets because the general public, they tend to tune into what they agree with. so that's another argument preferably for another time. but the general consensus among the country or at least among the voters, is that the elections are fair. there are a number of requirements that go into this. and the one thing that doesn't mean a constant is regardless of what happens, the people that go to vote, they go and vote with safety, with security. they have an enclosed space when they're casting their votes. but they have observers, monitors and even hypothetically speaking, even if there is a great and even a sense or a hint of fraud or an attempt to reading the system. there were representative. the authorities that have been positioned in each and every single po, i'm sorry, holding station to ensure that this doesn't happen. lawyers, prosecutors,
5:15 pm
some of them voluntarily. some of them assigned by different parts of the political spectrum. they were there to ensure that these elections are indeed free. so with that, in the accounts of this whole rhetoric about a potential electro fraud seems far from the truth. and the reality is, and this is something that red, rigid 5 are the one has been bargaining and been vocal about time and time again. we came into power by the world of the people. not too long ago. i believe it was yesterday just over this weekend. he said, he announced that he stated that yes, the will of the people suggests that they want me to leave. i will leave the hinted at a peaceful transition. and if the result suggests that to the opposition will come into power. i do believe that the transition will take place the report that the opposition is holding onto right now suggests otherwise, which is what the surface president has are. sorry, the incoming church present has come out to say that these statements are provocative and they are far from the truth. because as much as they advise their
5:16 pm
supporters to stay away from the streets because a potential for marketing out a blushes. our civil unrest statements like these only feed that potential and it could even lead to more violence, which is why the general theme is people need to keep a clear head. and in order for that to happen, the statements that come out from different political leaders of different sides of the spectrum need to ensure that they hold on to that rhetoric as well. thanks for joining for the program. really great scheduling. so i took history on the list that you all sent can. thank you. i'll say correspondence shape both has looked into the 2016 attempted coup against president of one of how it influenced the country's political landscape. a us took a faces into its most important collection in modern times. it's worth revisiting the dramatic events that unfolded their back in 2016 when a phase of military to polarize target society left hundreds dead and ultimately consolidated president or the guns grip on power.
5:18 pm
the, well, the crew attempt itself may have over the last of the few hours. its impact is still very much felt today in a turkish society, increasingly divided on the future direction of the country with allegations of foreign involvement. quickly emerging with support as a bird again, pointing the finger at an opposition network led by said to the girl in a turkish cleric, an ex ally over to gun living in self imposed excellence in the us. it is blessedly clear that the united states is behind july 15,
