and that's how i met jamal dajani. he challenged me to think about solutions that hadn't been discussed until now. and one day we said, well, we should test it on the ground. >> the reality there is very harsh. but why don't we go over there and do it. >> we are here in a bubble. after sometime of working together with jamal i said let's do this in california. you only have to choose in that neighborhood what kind of latte you want in the morning. >> when i go there i'm always eager to go to my people, to my neighborhood. i want to have the least interaction with the israelis as possible. >> many israelis don't want to know about palestinians. they don't want to reach out. they don't want to cross into streets and neighborhoods where the palestinians live because of a mixture of stereotypes and so on. >> so we decided to go together to visit each other's neighborhoods. and i would talk to israelis and david would talk to palestinians, and together we would face the harsh realities of our shared land. >> growing up in t

let's start with jamal. jamal, looking at the numbers, how confident are the arkansas party they are on course for the big win they have been aiming for? >> well i will tell you something i have just come out from that building behind me. they are a bit edgy inside. the officials who are closely monitoring the big screen of all of the different considerancies across turkey and trying to count every little detail here maybe things route now aren't looking as optimistic as they would have opened hor. as you say, there are applying results, sizeable votes that haven't encountered. the big metropolises are still not confirmed, they are going to still be the main party in turkley with they trust the threshold of being able to be a single party that ruled the party is looking slightly in doubt with these results, but like i say i have to stress they are still preliminary results. there was never any doubt that they would have that single party majority leading up to the end. they are going to hope those exit polls

but jamal, let me start with the politics. what do you make of senator mcconnell saying we've had all this time we've been doing appeals, but i'll get back to you on an answer. >> the reality is the republicans are in a box here because they are the ones the american public knows been trying to stand in the way of getting health care passed and now they're pushing this case. and so what happens is if we have subsidies taken away from 6 million people many of them are in states that are republican leaning states, they are going to have a problem on their hands and they have to figure out a way to fix it. if they fix it by funding it they will have a problem with their base. so one way are on the other, they're in trouble. >> and jess i want to go back to a little bit of what the president said today. of course we've heard him defend the aca before but he's cutting up against a supreme court that could rule in the next two or tleek three weeks on this. he said you can't just pull out part of the aaca and not expect to mess with

let's start with jamal. the preliminary results are in, they are not final, but so far it doesn't seem to be going in the direction which the a.k. party were hoping. what are officials behind you saying about that? >> not at all in the direction that they are hoping for, and not in the direction that the polls have predicted. as you say, whilst the a.k. party is the largest party, it has fallen short of getting enough parliamentary sheets to form a majority let alone a two-thirds majority. i'll step out of the vision to show you a small but loud crowd of supporters coming outside the a.k. partiy headquarters. i covered elections, presidential and local elections from this place. we are outside the a.k. party headquarters where it was overflowing with thousands of supporters. tonight it is a sombre mood particularly inside when i went in a few minutes ago to see how officials monitoring the result come in. it's a sombre mood indeed. they have been taken by surprise. they have been in power for 14 years, and h

jamal, thank you very much. let's head to the main opposition chq in istanbul preliminary results suggesting they have come in behind the ak party. what more than you tell us omar. >> i'm having difficulty hearing you, but let me tell you there's no celebrations like anningara where the -- ankara where the c.h.p. party is. the leader of the istanbul branch says that the question of changing the constitution into a presidential one is out of debate, given the current numbers, what in practical terms is a possibility, but it is a hard one and depends if the ruling party manage to get the need the seats in parliament getting on abroad with other opposition parties, allowing it to gain 330 seats in parliament for the constitution. what is interesting is that the main opposition party is not talking too much about its own figures. the figures they have are pretty much the same that they have got since the last election. if you put in context what they have run, a new campaign, they put the focus on the economy, on th

and jamal is live for us and what can they do, jamal?well jane there was a number of scenarios that the ak party can try to embark on and one is to try to form a coalition however the parties and mhp and all said they would not join the coalition however this is politics and politics in turkey is not different than politics in other countries where people can change their mind and convinced and deals can be made. another option they is try and form what is known as minority government and mean they would not have a coalition and would have backing of a party in parliament but under the condition that the government of ak party forms will not be able to pass any laws and be some sort of government that would just run the country until other elections take place. obviously the most likely scenario in the current, if we consider the current situation in turkey that the most likely scenario would be early parliamentary election and it would be a hung parliament and early pearl menry elections and things could change with different behind the

dionne from the "washington post" and jamal simmons. thank you both for being here. >> good to be with you. >> e.j. have 2016 republicans learned anything from the 47% comments? >> i suspect mitt romney will tell them make sure when workers are working the fund-raiser, have them leave their cell phones outside the door. and i suspect he is going to tell them never use the words self-deportation. but i think there's something important about that 47% that suggests republicans have solved the problem. david said he was speaking words deemly held in the republican party. people have been talking that way in the party a long time. about makers and takers and all that kind of thing. so it wasn't a shock to anybody in that room. i think it just came the donor base especially. the primary base is with the to the party. they have to say a lot of things that could hurt them in the election. it is not just liberals they lose. barack obama carried moderates by final points over mitt romney. and if they keep talking like, this they're going to lose

and to add on to something jamal said.- we talk about, as you said the onion caricature of vice president biden, how, you know he's gaffe-prone. how we spend a lot of time joking about the vice president. uncle joe. well, the thing about uncle joe is, everyone loves uncle joe. he's gaffe-prone, but you know his heart is in the right place. the bidens and particularly vice president biden wears his emotions wears his faith, wears everything on his sleeve. there's no artifice there. what you see is what you get. and that's why you see the outpouring of grief for this family. for that man. but also for beau. if you spent any time with the biden children with the biden boys, they are a reflection of him. him. that's why when a tragedy like this happens to him, the son of the vice president, it hits everybody, whether democrat, republican, reporters who cover the vice president, regular, everyday people. this is something that i think has hit a lot of people in a very personal way that i think surprises them. >> it's also somet

jamal for us at the ruling ak party headquarters.eaders say they won't consider a coalition with the ak party and as a result puts an end to the discussion of any presidential system. >> at this point the argument of the presidential system in turkey a system of dictatorship comes to an end. this is a huge victory. millions have voted. this result is not because of a conspiracy from now on we will stand up for the people of turkey. all of our efforts will be for the happiness and freedom for the people of turkey. >> bernard smith has more now. >> so a huge political campbell led that had a paid off. a 10% show of the vote needed to get representation in the turkish parliament. that means for the first time in the history of turkey, a pro turkish party has representation at the national level in a turkish party. and hdp managed to do this by broadening their support base. this is a party that essentially ally to an outlawed turkey separatist organization the pkk. a terrorist organization considered by the u.s. and europe european unio

assemble what else do you see jamal as the other issues at play here? >> one of the major issues is the economy, for example jane, over the last decade, turkey has boomed, average income of each turk had quadrupled, from around 2400 to $10,000. the economy has drifted quite a bit, it's seemed that it has hit a glass ceiling that it's unable to break through. also and increase in expectations of certain part of the pap last, that's another element, and coouchtions by the opposition thataccusations that ithas become undemocratic or single minded in its attempt to govern accusations that the ak party denies and the fact it has won tree and fair negotiations, if the ak party gets what's known as a supermajority then definitely a lot of concerns will come from the forefront who they believe wants to change, and give more power to recep tayyip erdogan. >> i know there was a imern human rights violations. thank you very much for that. >> 365 have died in the capsizing of a chinese ferry. more bodies were found on friday night and saturday. the eastern star sun

jamal el shael what chance is it that they will get the 10% they want? >> well, jane, it's going to be very interesting indeed, first time that the kurds are contesting under a party. previously that got them about 30 mps but they need to get that 10% in order to get any seats at all. it will, have maybe 70 or 80 mfs, something unprecedented in turkish history or if they fall below 5% that means they have zero mps. they have a very charismatic leaders, salah hadeen. or if the hd pfertion passes that 10% threshold that will take away seats from the ak party and impossible to get the supermajority to push forward with a constitutional change so. very interesting to find out indeed jane. >> so the elections as you have correctly pointed out seem to be moving on from debate of the presidential many system to the ak party how others are doing talk us through that. >> reporter: there are several other issues, at the top of them is the constitutional party 1982 constitution which was drawn up after the military control of the government, or put forward the chan

this is an intractable problem and the johnny/jamal thing was brilliant.t of the black church in that moment. >> ben, your take on that? >> look first of all, i thought it was incredible to watch the president lead all those people in song and he obviously gave lots of comfort to the people there that lost their loved ones because of a racist individual that went in and was a terrorist and murdered people because of the color of their skin. you know take away from it outside of that is the president going to continue to talk about these things and i think what you're hearing from marc we actually agree on a little bit. i think the president has been very cautious some days to say some things certain ways and all of a sudden he finds the right audience and then he'll go a different direction. is he going to become more consistent in this moving forward. >> that's not what i said. >> i'm not sure you're going to see that. i think you will agree with me on this. >> we don't agree on that. you may think that. i don't think that. >> let me say this. i think it'

we are also guarding against the impulse to call johnny back for a job interview but not jamal. john: as awful as the shooting was, but has the cumulative reaction been a sign of progress on race, or a mirage? josh: i think it is a sign of progress and a multiple number of things have happened, really beginning with the republican led crusade to take down the confederate flag in south carolina in mississippi and other places, but also to undertake a kind of personal introspection that has led to remarkable changes. the guy that stands out the most to me is the south carolina congressman who has said it is a poor reflection on me that it took the shooting of my colleague clementa pinckney to understand the pain this is causing. i think we should take it down. that is the kind of change we have seen. and that is the reason why this will be more than a fleeting national conversation that does not lead to anything in the end. john: there is no doubt that the debate on the confederate flag went faster than almost anyone expected and the consensus emerging and really about 72 hours mo

jamal takes a closer look. >> reporter: there are now more than 2 million syrian refugees living in turkey. e camps like this are symbolic of the devastating war raging there. these images are a stark reminder of the toll the war is having here in turkey. syrians fleeing the violence seek refuge in cities, like those in the capital, ankara. to date it's crossed the turkish government 10 billion to host them. critics say it's support for the syrian opposition and the refusal to do business with bashar al-assad's regime worsened the crisis. and suggests that this is not the ak party's only diplomatic misstep. months before the uprising turkey enjoyed relations with damascus. so much so that both governments held a joint cabinet meeting and agreed to scrap visa restrictions, and the cosy relations with egypt have soured after turkey voiced opposition to the 2013 military coup. and ankara has all but cut off ties with tel aviv following the 2008 war in gaza, and attacks killing turks later. this is a professor of international relations, and is critical of the turkey foreign policy. >> turkey
