erdogan this time. he wins, it looks like he not only has a competent opposition leader that will challenge him, also he's no more shaping the narrative of making turkey more free and more equal. that baton is passing off to the hands of his opposition. >> why is this important for the west, for the united states, for western europe? as i said, the major western ally, nato ally, and he did bring immense democratic and economic, judicial and all sorts of reforms when he first came to power. but the west sees him not as a arrive 58, but as increasingly nondemocratic now and almost obstructionist in many policies. why is this election important for the west and for the region, in fact? -- >> well, it's important. if he wins the election mr. erdogan will be the most powerful leader since 100 years ago. the new power erdogan gained as a result of the referendum, if he wins the election that will make him head of state, head of government, head of the military, head of the police which is a national force, an

what is next for president erdogan?rkey, remains to be the main questions in the mind of everyone, every citizen who had cast their votes yesterday. the opposition had felt that the power was in their reach, they had dreamt of this for over a decade, they had felt that they could actually change things with a fierce campaign that they had led. but president erdogan proved once again that he was invincible. simon is my guest, thank you for joining us. you are the author of a new turkey and its discontents. us and to his speech, what did you make of it? it wasn't totally embracing, it was a typical victory speech. what is interesting about it is that he didn't focus too much on the issue that he is going to have to address in the months to come, that is the economy. one of the reasons he brought the election forward is to basically garner a victory before a looming economic crisis is about to hit this country and he has to deal with plummeting lira against other currencies, youth unemployment and those are the issues that

this is a president erdogan supporting tabloid

this is a first round erdogan victory.t's significant caught most people by surprise the second thing is the strong showing of the mhp, the secular nationalist party. you mentioned checks and balances many people worried by the presidency and too much power to erdogan. i think what we learned during that campaign is the constitution is similar to the u.s. constitution. i think the fact that akp itself stand alone without the mhp failed to get the overall majority it alliance on the mhp it provides a bit of assurance that erdogan doesn't have absolute power, that parliament with the mhp will moderate perhaps some of the excesses of, you know, single party ruling effect with akp and erdogan. that's a silver lining for the market >> and also perhaps one of the reasons why the currency is reacting so much stronger. why do you think the currency is reacting so well >> well, a few things. it wasn't particularly excited about the prospect of co-habitation. i think most people assume it will be a difficult relationship if the oppo

president oh dodoo. —— erdogan. that is a figure contested by independent monitors.al and political science joins me now. if the figures are as that news agency reports, then—president erdogan will become this president with extraordinary powers. what kind of powers will he have? he will have extraordinary powers, but i think, another urgent issue that i would like to point out, here, whether president erdogan will and now make a acceptance speech at the moment. rahman a victory speech chris mac we expect that to happen soon. i think it would be a great mistake... what is the hurry? the whole point of the elections is to find out what people want. what is the will of the turkish electorate? president erdogan is in power, why not wait until the official results are announced. it is so that everyone can believe that this is the will, the actual result of the election. the main challenger says do not lead the polling stations. he says that state is manipulative me results. do you think on the same lines?m state is manipulative me results. do you think on the same lines?

erdogan when it comes to the future of turkey? is quite important, and i think there is an opposition. we have seen that, and we could argue that after the election results that turkish democracy has a pulse because the opposition did everything in its power. the main opposition party fielded a firebrand candidate who looked set to appeal beyond his party's traditional constituency. on the other hand, all ran reallyparties effective and energized campaigns, and the united -- and they united. they have been notoriously fractured, and yet in the run-up to the elections, they were united in an effort to deny the ruling party a majority. i think they have done well, especially the main opposition party's presidential candidate. the ruling party, erdogan's party, does not have a parliamentary majority. it relies on the support of its main ally, the nationalist mhp. moving forward, the opposition can still play an important role , especially the nationalist mhp will be the kingmaker. they captured 11% of the vote, but will have signific

erdogan and 30% for his opponent. in the context there was only one television station for example that ran any of the statements last night. indeed, the pro-curkurd party d not have anyone run their message. in the future, mr. erdogan has high degree of executive power concentrated in the hands of his presidency. he will rule by decree and appoint his cabinet. the position of prime minister has been abolished. and the legislation is now close to a rubber stamping as his ruling coalition is dominant there. michelle. >> solidifying his power. sam, thank you. >>> president trump says to crackdown on the trade battle with china. investment this week. the white house will invest in tech and blocking firms of 25% ownersh ownership. the white house will cite national security concerns. the white house did not return a request for comment. restricting chinese tech targets xi jinping's made in china 2025 initiative. beijing planning to target aerospace and cars. the u.s. in the latest action will introduce rules to stop shipp
