your ideas previously are due on what's the most popular candidate in the ballad boxes. here at the school. however, now early on and killed sharon lute are had to had. we discussed how the economic situation in towards the affected the election with turkish economist aiden saw him out. the cost of living crisis is a global issue. however, talk to is a little bit different than other countries. reason being is a lost. then we'll look at that last year. what be the living through your time? like you were saying ko, it's right off to court towards the face. the devastating 1st week in the you know, never a problem since. so. busy besides the human tricity that it is also cost of economy over $24200000000.00. so it took to nice to rebuild that part of the turkey. and you live them the provinces,

they were creating almost 10 percent off for a to she economy. so you cannot 3 great, you cannot to put that to, you know, country on the side and then try to say i need to, you know, who everything in my power to have to issue to, to install it installed. so issue on issue is having legal issues we have, we also have is it the church government? we also have a trade deficit problem. it's continues continuously going through over. i will say like a more than 4 tickets. is that one of the one that is looking to the is good to go for, you know, a getting to, to go with the dollar wise. they should move away from the us dollar get countries to trade on each of us. definitely, this is like a very good strategically for countries like russia, 13, including iran, you know,

they tend to get together. and it happened to mention the 2019 and those countries, they were to have couple agreements through the agreements and saying, let's do the exports and impulse, you know, room currency is sort of thought it. the reason being is right off the plates and votes agreements, you know, uh, 1940 fours uh, entire world got to, you know, uh, kind of like a slave off to dollars if you will. the reason being is when you have a dollar, a brand new trading, and you are not printing that money, you're going to have problems, you know, essentially because when you look at the finance world, uh, also uh, united states is the pump. you know the country as far as the forwarding trade goes . well, we want to get more insight into these elections right now. so we're gonna go live now to local journalist. can y'all send atkin,

thanks for joining us on the program. so are the one is officially leading the race currently? has there been much reaction to that so far? there's been a bit of back and forth between government officials and opposition officials. however, for the most part, it looks like 90 percent, actually north of 90 percent of the votes have been accounted and the incoming president leading with north of $52.00 coins. so the reaction of course, has been from the opposition side to the official. some of the c h, b, the main opposition party didn't come out to say in response to air the one leading saying that with the balcony speech that you're going to provide, you know, don't make a mess of it essentially. so there's been a bit of rhetoric that does not necessarily align with the rhetoric that the c h p in the alliance has been undertaking, leading into the elections. so there's a bit of back and forth between officials. but generally speaking, beach general,

but within the country has been com. and right now i'm looking at 2 different agencies that suggests that our, the one is leading with higher points of view points. and what's interesting is the opposition poll. the uncle agency suggested that color showed on the wasn't the lead up until about 80 percent of the votes counted and slowly, but surely they, you are the ones in the lead as well. essentially, in completing the same fault that they choose the on the state of support in town or the agency of doing. they said that the agency was providing numbers from a party majority strongholds and skewing the results. and the uncle agency is essentially suspected of doing the same thing. i'll be it's from major cities and then spreading out. so rural areas. so the numbers right now do suggest launch are the ones is projected to him. and i guess the reaction after that will be much more interesting. well, the 3rd place candidate from the 1st round c 9

o on. he threw his support, of course, behind heard one for the run off. just how important do you think that that support for the incoming president is going to be i wouldn't necessarily say it's seen on, on, essentially coming out and providing his support that really matter because it's more so what's, you know? no one represents. so no one is a national, this is essentially a republicans in the eyes of uncut in the eyes of the turkish people. the supports searching out the search values, the certain values that much of the people over the last few decades last 2 decades at the very least i have been suppressed. if you asked the average search national list. busy the thing that seen on on stood for was a bit more important than seen on a one per se, supporting our, the one in this run off election. however, if we take a look at what the opposition was offering, it was essentially us to do the best to gain the vote in the support of the curtis voters. now this of course, for the most part may have paid off,

but the one thing that has been a very defining factor in this election, at least the elections in 2023, was that the nationalist and the conservatives would be the deciding factor. and the rhetoric of the opposition kinds of chemical the shuttle has done its best to appeal to different masses. and this brings into a question of sincerity. it brings into question trust. and the c h p. the founding party of the turkish republic has a bit of trouble history for take things into account. up until the 1960s there was a single party sage be ruled. and then from this 19 sixty's onwards, word multi party system, which reduced essentially democracy was introduced to the turkish republic. and since then, the cfp was not in a position to come into power unilaterally without the assistance of other parties or coalitions. and this is the one thing that the incoming president has provided, the church people, regardless of the economic issues of regardless of the inflation, the decreasing purchasing power of the average turkish citizen. and the list does

go on internal for, on policies. but the one thing that does come to mind is that the con, the president has provided political stability and the charges people came out to suggest political stability is more important. that's not to say that the other matters are not important. but it's the one thing that the opposition candidate has failed to see. many political actors suggest that they do not understand the masses, and so the masses, especially, don't understand them as well. what else in some observers have said that the folder turned out for the run off could be lower than during the 1st round. why do you think that would be all for a number of reasons, the voter turnout for the 1st one was given take 80 percent. the voter turnout right now is a stance is about 85 percent. so we're looking at a difference of 3 percent, for the most part might not make that much of a difference. but if you take things into account, that's north of a 1000000 people. 11 point to 1400000 votes that were not tested in this round of

elections. of course, it's difficult to assess as to which side did not go to votes. it could be from both parties, both blocks. maybe there were people that supported are the ones i do all the jews, but didn't agree with some policies and that could be a realistic situation as well. but for the most part, if we take a look at the rhetoric from the opposite candidate leading into the 1st round of elections 2 weeks ago, they were guaranteeing a victory. they promise upon promise and promise that promise and promise. somebody's will not in a position to deliver which could have been the under, by sorry, the determining factor as to why some of the voters did not go to the ballot box today. it could be because many of the opposition supporters, supporters of html, cuz it's totaled for an a position where they were as i spoke to many of opposition support and suggest that their heart broken. they suggest that they need change. they don't just need change when it comes to replacing the incumbent, president's legit type hard on, but they need change as a whole. and that is a consistent theme over the last few weeks. even of the last few months is that we

may change, but we don't just need to get rid of one person or 2. we just need general political form. we need to get new characters into the mix. and that's why seen on the, on the 3rd presidential candidate was so popular more so because he was a 3rd option, didn't really align with are the wanted and really align with color shuttle about she was fresh blood. and that is something which gathered about 5 percent of the votes, which is significant if you take into account that he of course joined the coalition, but did not represent a single party going into that selection. and the history of the turkish republics, chests, the people that do go into elections that run for office without a party are unsuccessful. they're never heard of again, but say no, no one is in a position where you guess it dictates certain policies over the next few years. right? yes. and that can local journalist and turkey. thanks a lot for bringing us that analysis and those details. the was

tensions run high between israel and palestine. the un security council has again gathered to address the issue. china is deputy envoy to the united nations last out at israel for building settlements on palestinian land, calling their construction illegal. i said i used to live at p, this is the beginning of this year. israel has continued to advance, unilateral actions and improving returns, building your settlements and legalizing settlements, subject david as violate international law. and the un security council resolution . china urges israel to immediately called this actions and stop encroaching upon the land and resources of the philistines and people on the issue of religious hall . this size is around. last stuff is publications guarantee the right to worship for muslim worshippers hold the peace in from philadelphia religious all the sites and respect the custodianship of georgia. you can move on. meanwhile, china is for administer expressed as countries readiness to facilitate peace talks between israel and palestine. episode emphasizing the importance of

a 2 state solution according to chinese state media. basic is role as a peace maker on the world stage springs. and after helping to re establish diplomatic ties between longstanding adversaries, around and saudi arabia. back in march, trent is also put forward a political settlement to the ukraine conflict. it's now the israel palestine conflict has been raging for decades and it's rooted in conflicting claims of land rights in the region. during the latest escalation, earlier this month, palestinian and israeli forces exchanged hundreds of attacks, leaving scores dead. the majority of which were palestinians, how human was journalist next call. the on him believes china is eager to broker a peace in the conflict. although many states have failed sign as the rising bower, and that once the show to the world, the seed can do, why do night that say fails to do for the best to years. so that's why i believe

the sign the will really try is all the feet, say political, a force and fall where and to do something good. the region in china has a much better uh, connection and understanding this. they are world then the united states. and that's why may be this new kind of said thinking and the power can do a change here that so many people are waiting for and the ego ink for the best way to do that is that to be practical. and the chinese, the people and the government, they really practical and understand that a lot of the say also should have a comprehensive the solution. so it means that both sides need to think about the economy, about the security and about all aspects of life. and if you combine all of that to one big solution, maybe it's for the cells, the sag conflict,

this china succeeded to do with a i run and said, yeah, right? yeah, well now we're going to return to our top story. the presidential election run off into a kid over 90 percent of all votes are said to have been counted already. so we're going across live now to a local journalist there in a ankara astra all start reporting in front of the presidential complex. thanks for giving us this report has to are what's the move they are now as circus citizens around the world are waiting for the final results. uh yeah, i think i, i cannot tell more than this town to tell behind me. and now you can see the platform behind me. i'm in front of the president. so complex where president ad on is expected to arrive about 9 p. m. and he's going to give it victors to page right behind me. so now the theme is preparing for the uh for the victoria, oregon. they are doing phone tag and the top one hour of your listening here to

campaigns on the credit an add on according to the, on the official results. you've got more than 52 percent. let's be able to give you the latest office regarding donald shield, resolve the problem on the agencies, the web page. so uh now the 90 its almost 93 percent of the ballot boxes are tell we'd all been present and they're doing it to 52.5 percent of the world's wild billboard. visionaire loggins is either 2 might go to settle to get 47.5 percent off the about the what is interesting and the result as expected to be solved eastern regions, the bomb threat majority population is what was it for uh, come, i could have settled so looking at the map of the public up series here, you can see that to be uh, almost all the charges population,

majority cities and votes for 2 months. and they said almost all the minister entities and agencies. meanwhile, you said on cut off and you sound well probably in the near you can see that the kim i couldn't get a shuttle to got the majority of the words. i could not hear my own board. i'm not sure if you can hear me very well. uh but let's movie mine was present and i dont said the box uh the uh the ballot boxes. he said for more than 21 years ordination was in and trusted to us. but today we are entrusted to our nation and to marco's federal law, to the cafeteria, bella and one of the opposing stations in john kayak, one of the 6 of argo. yeah, and he said in order to be free from oppression to the governing for bringing a real democracy in freedom country, i am calling out to develop but now be the may result

show that civic story, they'll go with the president. okay. as well. all start local journalist in turkey, reporting live from anchor. thanks for bringing us those details. now, on to another story, the west may be placing blame for the conflict in ukraine on russia and stoking, russo phobia around the world. but a new study suggests that the chinese people don't agree with an overwhelming majority holding washington and its allies accountable for the war. over $2500.00 citizens have participated in a poll examining the chinese outlook on international security with 80 percent of respondents a pairing appearing to blame the west for the brain. conflict. 12 percent said that ukraine was responsible and the remaining minority criticized russia. the study also reveals that the population was concerned over the west impact on chinese security. and

a more favorable attitude towards russia was shown as well. basically as taking a neutral stance throughout, officially refusing to condemn or sanction moscow. nelson wong with the shanghai room, pac center and vall died. discussion club believes that the population is opinion, mostly coincides with the government stance. to be fair and objective, i would say that public opinion is across china. do get the people all divided. well, when it comes to the conflict in ukraine, but in general, i would say that most people do approve the government's possession of staying neutral and trying to assist in bringing the conflict to an end. so peacefully go 6 . what i would like districts, however, is that people's opinions towards bill book is depend largely on the cultural heritage and traditions of the education background and knowledge of world history . as well as the access to information. as for the us, i think it is also,

you know, true that more and more people are and trying to have realize that the ongoing competition and the potential conflict between china and the us. and the growing resentment towards the u. s. is effect along ways, the increasing hostility coming from the us to contain china. but that doesn't mean that people in china are most people are in china. want to wage a war against the u. s. quite to the contrary. they are on stands firmly with the old pat group of leading oil producers. that's the message from the rainy and president who's how talks with the old peg general secretary and to run some western countries sick to create division and disagreement among compact member countries to secure their interests. and they affect members should prevent the realization of these goals by strengthening their unity based logic republic go for

on as always, had a constructive cooperation with these are going to zation the way to determine to continue and improve the level of cooperation or during the meeting the 2 leaders discussed to ron's relations with the organization, as well as ways to stabilize the global oil market and maintain energy security. founded in 1960 all pack encompasses 13 oil exporting economies across 3 continents . earlier this year, saudi arabia and the opec plus blocks, which includes russia and mexico announced major cuts to their oil production despite persistent western, please not to do so. that's as gears are actively shifting in the oil rich worlds with saudi arabia now and talks to join the breaks bank institution was founded in 2015 by the largest emerging economies. and it's considered to be an alternative to western dominated global financial institutions. re add as also roommates to be mulling, joining breaks as a full fledged member. to get more on this now we're going across live to the host

of the twice. told tails pod cast. so tara sunday. do you thanks a lot for joining us on the program. now was there much importance being placed on this meeting between the rainy and president and the old pack of general secretary and what kind of message does it sent? thanks for having me. so i think the 1st and the most important message over seeing coming from this meeting is that we are or the word is all ready to embrace a multi polar world where the were washington and the us are now playing the most significant role anymore. and independent countries are joining each other to not only dish dollar, but also stand against you as policies in the course of policies against other nations. we are seeing that opec countries in opec plus team are not responding to us in europe's demands. and they're taking actions and

response to the old private cops and as well as the sanctions that have been put in both against joshua and of, of course, against iran. so the 1st message is clearly that the opec members in the open class are no waiting for the us. and they're not taking orders from the us and they're ready to continue trading with each other and cooperate with their charter . despite calls for coming from the west. that says they have to react in a different way. what would you say this kind of close cooperation is something we've seen traditionally between iran and other opec members as well. we have been seeing this uh, since the uh, on side of the oh pack. and then plus, but what we haven't been seeing over the past uh, almost a decade was more cooperation and political and strategic partnership between for

example, yvonne and so do you re view or yvonne and emory's? and this has happened over the past few months as in iran, and so dear ruby, after a very long time and after disputes over the conflicts and syria and yeah, man, have their resume, their diplomatic relationships in their us a batch to exchange ambassadors. this means that there will be more cooperation with the opec members and, and andrew, and we should also remember that back in 2019. so to or if you had already warranted that it's going to ditch dollar when the us us and the proposed a bill that would expose opec members to enter trust lawsuits. and that in 2022. so i would do radio also, so that it's considering accepting you on instead of dollar a in the selling or it was a now we have a ron and so dear be a cooperating together and resuming their diplomatic relations. so all of these,

the events happening are signaling a more cooperation within opec vendors that can have many economy like consequences and ease for a lot of the nations. well, we don't have that much time left, but i'd like to just if you could answer shortly. what role does this uh, what does the opec plus block play in the global energy market, essentially, and how does that interact with opec itself? a well, i think, oh pet plus a know pick our cooperate g to, as i said, a stand against washington policy is to sanction russia's oils and earphones oil and with the bricks coming and ready to embrace more members and with these nations ready to ditch dollar we're hoping that we'll,

we'll see more such like economy transactions and more cooperation would be these members mean, and as i said, seeing a stronger role played by a russian, china. so dear video and iran in uh, in the way the economy except the world and the politics in the world will work. all right, how's the v twice told? tails pod cast said tara, so digging you. thanks for joining us on the program. thanks for having me. that's all the news for this hour here on our t international, but stick around because my colleague roy associate will be taking over and just about 30 minutes a . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy from foundation. let it be an arms race is on all sides. very dramatic. the only

personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very unclear, to get a time time to sit down and talk the they call. the 19 pandemic have left us with a couple new habits and workplace trends like work from home policies. as remote work became the norm for most people. while that 1st the seems like a net positive for most remote work also has its costs to whether money comes out of your salary for a new desk setup for your shouldering

a more expensive utility bill. and then on the far end of the spectrum, you have ceos who have now banned from the work from home and expects employees to be in the office. so what is the real cost of working from home? buying, you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be examining the pros and cons a work from home and is this trend good for workers or employers? the working from home has many benefits, including saving time on commute, which is a big one. and us one way commute on average is 27.6 minutes, which means that it takes nearly an hour for most people to commute both ways each day. keep in mind, this is an average number and there are those community as far as 2 hours. one way each day in certain metropolitan areas of the country. meanwhile, in china,

the average one way can new time in beijing reached 48 minutes, which was the highest among china. the cities with the largest can new times in the world included logos, nigeria, at the very top, with an average a 66 minutes commute, followed by san jose costa rica with 64 minutes. los angeles is close behind at 61 minutes. not to mention the crowds and the rush during commuting in india 23000000 passengers. can you by train every day with some hanging onto the sides of the train as there is usually no room for everyone on the actual train. another great benefit of working from home includes having greater flexibility with your schedule, which is especially helpful if there are children in the household. this saves the employee money that would otherwise be spent on transportation, gas and child care. money is also saved when eating lunch at home and not having to

spend on work clothes and dry cleaning all the time. many remote workers have the reported increased productivity due to working from home. it also allows for more quality time with the family, as there is more face time and no wasted time on commute. and this flexibility is extremely important for mental health and happiness of employees, as it is better for the work life balance. something that is extremely important to the younger generation. and perhaps one of the biggest benefits is that working from home gives one the ability to live wherever they want to. not because they have to live close to work. this usually makes the living situation cheaper because they're no longer stuck to in metropolitan radios. and more enjoyable as there is more space outside of work. so now let's bring in j jones president of always on p r, who is 100 percent working remotely. so j, what percentage of employers had work from home programs before the pandemic?

and how about now, after the pandemic? you know, well, the thing about it is before the pandemic. your home was a place for relaxation and eating and diety. but during the pandemic, your home became a place to hustle and bustle. because more more people started to work from home and it got busy. so you had to start carting all spaces for us is if you had let you can't eat in the living room because your dog, excuse me, you can work in your living room because the dog is the wife is the tv's. the everything you use to relax and shell is there. so then you have to find a space, a guess, room of the a kitchen and you have the kind of cut that place off, you know, because you couldn't get work done. people do like to work from home, those that now do you think employers actually like having a work from home policy or do they perceive work from home employees as less valuable and less productive?

well, the problem is, um, you want a happy healthy work place? no matter what, so the point is, so mine have a, you know, the work from home, the w at and from home, as long as this communication going on the times when they feel that the only kind of work starts to decrease with the work from home is as far as e mails don't go answer. there's a long pause. people take time away without letting the employers know. but the policy now as an employer myself, is that you want people to be happy. you want to bring the stress down so much if you're going to work from home. but communication is a sense. it is absolutely paramount. and do you think that a lot of a workplace culture and commodity is detrimental for companies in the future? well you know what? yeah, i'm assuming that no.
