on the, the, with just over 98 percent of the votes know counted in the turkish presidential election, our role model it looks likely to either of the 2 main contenders of which the majority needed to secure to create the president during the war and save the opposition is misleading the nation by stating there are no many as in the lead. it comes out to rival can low and pillage don't really use the triggers can use agency of distorting the results of the vote. later on this hour, we speak to the deputy german, all the turnkey is really just this of development party. things that know some pretty should interfere in the nation based on no one in europe or america or

any other country, made slight animosity towards turkey. a turkish democracy is mature, and independence gets up to the people of turkey. if to decide our citizens our highest authority, the with the big stories of the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments to welcome to the weekly on r c. tens of thousands of people are rolling on trigger street south through election pools closed on sunday, awaiting the final results of the crucial presidential parliamentary balance. the the well, with the vote cutting nearing it's in the right zip. tell. i have already won loops to be in front of the house like choose the main. busy position of misleading the

nation by stating that there are tons of that is leading the poles. official churches, state media reports that are the ones secured over 49 percent of at bullets so far while the western leading kimmel to let joe rollo is slightly behind 45 percent . now, just to point out the tick the presidency account of that must get 50 percent of the vote that now looks increasingly unlikely. meaning i run off later this month in 2 weeks time will occur. let's take a brief look at what the presidential hopefuls campaigned on, especially in the foreign policy sphere. the we're continuing our air operations in northern syria and we'll come down hard on

terrorists on the ground at the most convenient time for us. we have formed part of this chord, or can, we'll take care of it, starting with places which are sources of control. the lies and probity of the syrians should be secured for their return. what will happen is they are a tech once again. that's why we should make the protocol was awesome. if needed, the should also be involved in this process, the task sweet and do not make appointments effort. we will not say yes to your entry into nato as long as you allow our holy book, the koran to be burned and torn apart as well as allow this to be done with your

security personnel. our view on finland is positive, but not on the i think the membership of sweden and finland will increase in strength. the secuity of a collective defense organization such as nate, the easiest magazines in germany, england, and france are attacking already gone. why? because already gone did not sell the country to them. he did not let it be sold. we want be part of the west of a civilized world on democracy in our country. we don't want authoritarian leadership. we want freedom. therefore, we will be implementing all the democratic rules of the european union to our country news

. we have respect and trust in relations with the rest. and my relations with mister fulton are based on, honest, ticklish foreign policy towards russia is new. and so is the russians position to it's still key. i believe that on the basis of mutual respect, that will be no reason to change positions. i believe dispositions. will this trend the well of for the race to fill parliament all very close there to with just shy of 98

percent of votes? kind to a place is just the point though it will be filled by our proportional representation in this spell. it's a no magic figure to get you here. right. the conservative and right wing people's alliance coalition, which includes are the ones a k party has so far secured more than 49 percent support the rainbow national alliance led by mr. collect the rules such as run 35 percent. so that's a disappointing i've come based on what they were projected to perhaps get to the left wing labor and freedom coalition has made it into double digits. some overnight seems from turkish cities to show you starting though, and the capital empress sizes of locals awaiting the election results of gathered in the streets to rally for the candidates. the mood as you can perhaps make out pretty fast of currently people thing. waving flags, dancing, singing national song. this is symbol base. this is the oldest church earlier, talked on the situation with mike only next year in the victory

in the presidential elections does not mean. and that being all alone, the turkish parliament use above the uh, the president of cherokee and if the alliance does not get the victory, i mean the majority of the seats in turkish parliament. there will be a political instability in the country. because when the president decides to publish it decree, if the parliament does not agree with that, with the majority of the words, the decree will not be valid. that's why this is very important that the majority of the member of parliament should be working in alliance with the president. now what's will uh, president ad on do if the elections will run off

because the current picture shows us that he is below 50 percent. he and is the charm the motors of this are candidates, the non on, or the voters they'll, they'll position alliance will for see that the turkish parliament or rich majority of composed of the people of alliance of party and m h b will, will be a majority and if they will be a non aligned to the front of you know, powers of derek here. so this may cause a worse economic situation because of the political instability come all across the road. and he's the us, his the poll says the stay up all night tonight. so what exactly is the cooling full here as why the fact to their believe me, i know the agency of, you know, for not reporting the facts on the ground. they say that the be of the numbers coming from under the agency and the numbers coming from the supreme council.

elections do not comply with each other. let's say uh, what do we have more about the position alliances statements? we had months. so do you have us sent a term, you mama, la, gave a joints press or 4 times a y, you'll be counting all the ballots. continue. so let's have a look at it. look, your mind can extend all those set. the boat started with 60 percent. now decruz below 50 percent of the ballot observers and 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 cds ballots. kim, i goes that all the way that they do not trust the data of another agency and he was calling out supreme election council to act responsibly. of course, after months. so do you wash an exam? you mama, look both are the mayors of a on code i in assemble,

and they're given promises to be the p t presidents inches that come on color said old, we'll get to victory at the end of the run off. uh, email follow up, just the as i said, and now owns the victory of colors. federal and h was harshly criticized by acquired the spokes person. imagine it. so let's have a look at what their match it looks that is under that culture. even before the results are finalized, suddenly the spokes person of the opposition, the lions and the mayor's, went on television in a flurry and began to say that the n a duly 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 could reached a row 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 assassinate the national will not up. so these are defects on

the ground now from the city is a little around to get in different cities. the support is the political parties are out of chanting for uh, people to go part is there supporting for i've is to day and i, i so so many people, hundreds of people out in the street, tempting for our door and, and kind of celebrating the fact that the old position of the alliance did not win the election presidential election. uh, in the 1st round. uh you on camera in headquarters, a, c h b, a b port to go party. uh, which came out of color style leads. you can see people out there and they say that you can, you can see so many young people there. they're saying we're going to we and we will get the rectory. same goes for add on supporters. his supporters are also challenging for our don and they believe that they will get the elections because as i told there is another factor, we charge a votes given tested by the 30th citizens living abroad. so these,

the ballots are not still counted, hundreds per cent. most probably these words would determine the best in the old outcomes of this elections. but what we know for sure that turkish people will not sleep till the morning. well, we got further reaction to the election from a reporter in istanbul. yes, and that can, he stays, the possibility of balance is off concerned, especially in the case of a realm of being an odds of excitement then will heighten it is the reaction of the people they've already taken to the streets in celebration. so this person has a question, a number of things. are they celebrating a victory of 31 and his party, or is this more of a victory against calisto who, who has claimed over the last few months that she and the coalition that these forms will take, are the one down and on see 10. and essentially usher in

a new era of politics then take, take the future of the country for the next 5 years. 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 curves concerns that are involved, of course, and 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 would either argue for the last year, maybe 2 for 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 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 the ocean point out a quarter past 5 am in trickier things to appear. come on the streets, but we will keep an eye in. i know i wanna tell you this as well. bach in 2016, you may recall, president or on mileage to repel attempted to that he blamed on the us government with ortiz check. both house been looking into how the events influence and chris

political landscape and relations with worship us took a face has into its most important collection in modern times, its worth revisiting the dramatic events that unfolded their back in 2016 when a failed military to polarize target society left hundreds dead, an ultimately consolidated president or the guns grip on power the the,

well, the crew attempt itself may have only lasted a 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 aren't involved and quickly emerging with support is a vert again pointing the finger at an opposition network led by side to the google and 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. it was federal terrorist organization. now canada doubts up on their orders. in the united states had no involve months in the 2016 attempted coup in turkey and promptly condemned it. recent assertions to the country made by seed near tucker's officials are wholly false, despite predictably energetic us denials of involvement. the fact that rule and had been based in the us since 1999 increase tensions between ankara and washington with a u. s. refusal of a turkish request to expedite doland deepening suspicions in ankara that the us had

in some way assisted the crew plotters. of course, since the leader of this terrorist organization is residing in the united states, their question marks in the minds of the people, whether there is any us involvement or backing, or the guns response to the crew was as rapid as it was vast. with increment declaring a state of emergency that would continue for 2 years. during that time, tens of thousands of people were arrested with at least a 125000 civil servants, military personnel. academics being sucked or suspended from their positions over suspected links to google and we have shown to elyse and enemies. the to care can never be captured and the tickets nation can never be brought to its nice men. it stands united and shoulder to shoulder against whom to, from now on the history of the 2 key will be analyzed in 2 periods before and after july, the 15th proving the strength of all democracy and the apollo fall nation without

any doubts heard. a gun has also been accused of using the true attempt to stamp out opposition and tightened his grip on power with a strong on lead or famous people claimed that the crew was a gift from god, which would allow him to purge the military of mutineers. a threat which he energetically follow through on. he also held a referendum in 2017, increasing his presidential powers while reducing the role of parliament. turkey i must stop exhibiting a huge democratic deficit, particularly following the crew of the 15th of july 2016. and it should still considering reintroducing the death penalty. furthermore, turkey i must adopt the you values and standards respect the you at queen stop disputing international treaties. the attitude of many comments, resend the official soul of the crew attempting to th shameful in the name of democracy. and you can't see and any lead uh who does not worry about the life of

to just people. and that will democracy as much as they worry about the face of chris on not so friends. per k, a now finds itself out of historic fork in the road with the future direction of this influential regional power hanging in the balance. it's now up to the turkish people to the side. the future was some interesting comments from the deputy trimming of the ruling trick is just this development party newman cra, trula as he was speaking to r t. and he says, i'm cra, doesn't want to take parts in empty russian sanctions. i stay just a fuel to the fire the. we have close enabling relations with russia and we share common interests and benefits. at the same time, we've neighbors the relations which ukraine sharing many common goals took. you will not be the country to pause fuel on the far,

but rather will be the country that tries to put out the flames. this is the way we are looking to develop the relationship between to a key and a russian. mr. cortez mission. very the questions about the section is tricky. it does not intend to comply with the sanctions imposed by a number of countries against russia, which will be forced to join restrictive measures if they are imposed by the united nations. how to assess curtis ability to continue it's tennis on sanctions against russia. the beginning of o j, the unbundled coolness asked for sanctions. it's not only against russia that they were imposed other countries. i've also been slap with sanctions and it should be stressed that the sanctions don't time governments but do have the people of these countries that they were imposed against ordinary citizens. sometimes, sanctions effects supplied necessities to t a firm. he believes that the sanctions a country to the interest and well being of the people were in favor of taking the path of peace talks and won't support functions as

a way of stopping more. i must say that turkey is position in regard to joining you has not changed. we still want to join, but we will not accept a vision of turkey as a colony. if they plan to just give us instructions and then access how well we will follow them. we will always have an equal partner in both you and natal. i mean won't accept any attempts to lecture us or patronize us, mr. cortez english or deer turkish offer cells. uh said that the us and you are are putting pressure on through here for the upcoming elections. what can you comment on this? and what can trick you into against this pressure to be a little for the we know that there are people in you a vanity usa who take a negative interest in our elections and it's always being that way. it's clear that when collex dire, lou announced his candidacy. he got support from the west. there's plenty of examples, rhetoric and publications like to speak of the figure out how to express. they hopefully show their animosity towards president or the one. it's not even about

supporting kit externally for them. it's about being against or the want of fueling public hatred for him, which is not acceptable, no one in europe or america, or any other country, main site, animosity towards turkey churches. democracy is mature and independent. it's up to the people of truck yet to decide. our citizens are our highest a tardy the will for more analysis on the turkish elections. the background on the presidential candidates and how a change of leadership could rush shape the country's foreign policy. do give r t dot com some of your time today the well in other news, but on a related thing, twitter impulse you will most cuz hit bucket criticism and social media after the

platform, restricted certain content in tricky. on the eve of the election. the turkish government ought to sense its opponents right before the election, and elaine moss complied. they should generate some interesting tweet of flies reporting. did your brain fall out of your head? the glasses? the choices have to the throttled in its entirety illumined access to some twits. which one do you want? the fitter stays the manager was imposed in response to a legal process to ensure that the platform remains available for users intricate stir most earlier in the us. the twitter must take significant steps to comply with content moderation laws for the rest provided no details about the exact content that was restricted, fucked in march 2014 2nd mid elections and took to the country's government completely blocked access to twitter for a month. citing the platforms failure to remove posts that i'm for a label harmful reminder that the social media giant has prior when it comes

to elections, the platform was implicated and trying to help joe biden, when the us presidency and 2020. that purportedly emerged from link files released by you on most after he took over twitter last year. the sites previous administration also surprised content about hunter biden's victoria's laptops, gamble, and even help the government framed the story as a legit russian propaganda. legal, a media unless line or believes the current twitter leadership stitt leads to prove its objectivity. or let me see if i can explain this, especially to, to our friends where the journalist and the blogger is, there is no freedom of speech. i don't know what they're talking about. freedom of speech that you want. try going on twitter or any place and deny vaccine protocols. there are to deny anything evolving vaccines or,

the accused trump of being gauge varies for and corrupting scams. and now it's coming out that the binding family was taking money from almost anybody around the world to line the pockets by them, you know, the by the democrats accused trump of various sexual misconduct. there's all kinds of allegations circulating 5 in concerning that. and the concerning far worse misconduct. and so i think what you see is a lot of construction through projects and what they accuse trump of is what they themselves are, gives you the, [000:00:00;00] the,

[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to was a part. it's arizona for american human remarks, wayne famously a remark that a good lawyer and it was the law. a clever one, takes the judge to lunch. have he been witness to the current politics of his country? he may have added prescriptions for prosecutors, campaign donors, and sex workers with trump, and by then seemingly subs for another ballad stand of legal cases hovering about them and their family members who is likely to face the music. we'll discuss that. i'm now joined by

a real big barnes and american constitutional lawyer. mr. barnes is great to talk to thank you very much for your time. that'd be here. now, 1st of all, i'm curious. do you think of yourself as a lawyer who according to marketing, needs to know the law or a clever one who relies on his personal connections to help his cases and given the state of the american justice system? which strategy do you think is most efficient?
