mr. erdogan will be the most powerful leader since 100 years ago. 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, and head of ruling party. he will become the most powerful turk in recent memory. the problem with that of course is while half of the country loves him and adores him, the conservative half, that includes many people he has lifted out of poverty. the other half mostly composed of leftist and seculars dee spies him. if he wins, turkey's crisis which is a direct result of his trajectory is not going to end. it's going to be exacerbated. i feel unless mr. erdogan becomes a politician and unites the country again, his victory does not promise stability for turkey. it actually might be a threat to make turkey more unstable. >> so, we were just seeing some banners and they were for the main kurdish party leader. and he is actually in jail and he was allowed to make a speech from jail. but people

mr erdogan may still prove his doubters wrong but for the first time in 15 years and it seems possibleut. joining me is dr esra ozurek, chair of contemporary turkish studies at the london school of economics. thank you forjoining us. it was at one of his last rallies in our conservative stronghold, never had problems there but we hear talk of a lot of surprises in store, why? probably one of the biggest reasons is that turkey is facing the biggest economic crisis since 2001 so that isa economic crisis since 2001 so that is a major disadvantage for him. tu rkey‘s is a major disadvantage for him. turkey's foreign policy has collapsed, there is a major deficit of justice and collapsed, there is a major deficit ofjustice and freedom in the country, people are unhappy how things are going on but until now, there was no strong opposition but during this election, a number of opponents did surprisingly well in their election campaign and challenged erdogan. we are talking here, this is mr ince, mr erdogan is on the right. what are his top—selling points? on the right. what are his top-selling

mr. erdogan is the reason for that.o you have his orders on the one hand who are very loyal to him, who love him, who celebrate now, you see him as their savior , their survival, basically, and the other half of the population hates him read they say he is at autocrat and he is leading this country into autocracy. brent: julia, thank you very much. daniel is here now with more on what the erdogan victory means for turkey's economy. daniel: the economy is quite mixed as well as a mixed reaction. it seemed that voters were taking the election result well, that is until the lira lost its gains. politically, he may be unstoppable, but can he rein in the unstable economy? >> after the election, many turks thought stability would rule the day and president erdogan will continue hisis current economic allah sees. -- economic policies. >> there will be economic stability in the country. there has to be. volatility in the mararkets, now it is over. at least the elections are over. if you asked me if the lira or dollar will incre

mr. erdogan also took with the coalition the majority of the seats in turkey's parliament. in fact, the erdogan party coalition and erdogan himself now have emerged from the process stronger than when he went into it. this, of course, following the constitutional changes that was brought in after the referendum last year means power is heavily concentrated in the hands of the turkey president. he can appoint his own cabinet and rule by decree and rule in the way the second chamber, legislation, effectively watered down. he now controls it and his power is going to be much more absolute than it was even before the elections when he was the president and unable to use the full force of the new constitutional dispensation. >> frightening proposition for his opponents and media. sam kiley, thank you. >>> the eu vows to retaliate against the rule by the u.s. to slap tariffs on european cars escalating a trade battle with the u.s. and key ally. the eu slapped tariffs on $3 billion on u.s. goods. retaliation for the tariffs on aluminum and steel. president trump threatened to hit b

mr. erdogan, and he alswill control the legislative, if his party, justice development party, a.k.p., wins the electiros. he will cothe parliament. it will effectively turn into a rubber-stamp parliament. i think the problem is he has delivered economic growh and built a base that loves him, a base of mostly conservatives.t he's also demonized and cracked down on demographics that are unlikely to vote for him, from liberals to leftists. when you add these consthtuencies up, make up half of turkey. his challenge is he might win the election by a narrow margin or so but he faces a very divided ectorate where half of the country adores him and the other half loathes him. >> sreenivasan: are there any specific issues driving ople to the polls? is it about the economy or education, or aut how turk seperceived in the world? >> so turkey used have traditional fault lines, left versus right. i thiho the campaignd to us that all of these are really meaningless in a turkish context now. there is only one fault line that trumpeverything else, and that is pro or against erdogan. that's why he faces st

how it is looking for mr erdogan?as you can see, and no doubt hearfrom behind me, they think they have done it. what we don't know is whether mr erdogan has got over the 50% needed to clinch an outright victory in the presidential election, or if he will be forced into a second—round run—off with muharrem ince of the centre—left. it is getting incredibly noisy. almost 80% of the ballot boxes opened, erdogan is on about 54% of the votes cast. that is going down as the opposition areas come in. we don't know if he has enough in the parliamentary election to keep a majority inside parliament. what is clear is that two very different visions of turkey have collided, one which cherishes its conservative president, which has transformed their lives with schools. 0ne president, which has transformed their lives with schools. one which feels he has destroyed the country. it will not fix the chasm in tu rkey‘s it will not fix the chasm in turkey's hard, but it will determine who leads the country. —— heart. leaders of 16 eu me

if we are to embrace what mr erdogan has just if we are to embrace what mr erdogan hasjust said to ifto embrace what mr erdogan has just said to those crowds of supporters in istanbul tonight, that he is their leader, he does have another term in office, that is not just it, is it? this is a president with greater powers and greater controls of the country? yes, if the final results are as announced, president erdogan will become this ever more powerful figure, president erdogan will become this ever more powerfulfigure, with sweeping powers. these were narrowly approved in the cause ofjewish and is last year, and his powers will improved, and issuing decrees with the... saying that if this was the case, if the sweeping powers were actually approved, if president erdogan secured this presidency, then there would be an erosion of turkish democracy. president erdogan said these results should be respected, but that is not what the opposition does at the moment. they are still challenging the figures. people have been casting their votes not only for the presidential elections, but also

the opposition party hope to win a majority to deprive mr erdogan. queues outside there have been long queues outside the classroom is inside this school that doubles as a polling station. they are hoping for a turnout of at least 85%. so strong is this that it is become a referendum on turkey's divisive leader. he has polarised the electorate. should he be worried about this high turnout? he wanted a high turnout to get his conservative, islamist —based, pious —based support out, because they are equally fervent in their support of him as his critics are in their loathing. we do not know if a high turnout benefits him or his opponents. the turkish cherish their democracy and rights to vote, but there is intense division and polarisation in terms of who they believe should lead that democracy. his supporters believe he has transformed the country with mega construction projects. they love his conservatism and islamic values. jailing up to 200,000 people after the failed coup, standing up to the west, a failing justice system, they think he has destro

the odds are still stacked in mr erdogan's favour, 90% of the media is pro—government.osition posters are vastly outnumbered and torn down, but for the first time in 15 years, turkey mightjust decide that the erdogan magic has run out. the maritime authorities in malta have asked the charity—run rescue ship, aquarius, to help a boat in trouble off the coast of tunisia. last week, neither malta nor italy would allow the vessel to dock, after it rescued six—hundred—and—thirty migrants off the coast of libya. italy has since banned charity and foreign flagged ships docking, if migrants are onboard. a fire has torn through a warehouse in leyton in east london. black smoke could be seen billowing from an industrial estate in 0rient way this morning, with more than 100 firefighters and 20 engines responding to emergency calls. the headlines on bbc news: thousands of people are marching through london to demand a vote on the final deal on the uk's departure from the eu. senior cabinet ministers stress the uk is still prepared to walk away from brexit talks without a deal. an e

so you know it does that mean that mr erdogan his victory is tainted. well the international observers clearly criticize the condition under which the vote was how and that's what the opposition also criticizes one thing i want to point out is that neither the international observers nor the opposition are now saying there have been irregularities or many palatial to an extend that could actually change the whole outcome of the vote but of course it's not only election day that matters but it's also what happens during the run up to these elections and yes the complaining that's what many here say what observers say has been very unfair it has been an unfair playing field missed out on in his ruling a k p that just isn't a vote of the party have got much more but much more time on the public t.v. channels and the opposition some opposition parties got almost no ad time at all this vote took place under a state of emergency many critical journalists academicians are actually in jail so a little concerned consolation for the opposition maybe now is that u

and that has led to the turkish lira losing more than half its value against the us dollar since mr erdoganst became president in august 2014. however, last year, the economy saw economic growth of 7.4% — a pace that continued at the beginning of this year with growth in construction and services fuelled by a strong increase in household consumption. but a lot of this has been paid for by borrowing and there are real concerns about whether businesses, in particular, can afford to repay their debts. in total, the economy has an estimated $200 billion of dollar debt, which is getting more expensive to repay. and less money has been coming into the country, with foreign investment falling. it's fallen almost 40% from its peak two years ago, tojust under $11 billion last year. the investment director at fidelity personal investing is with me today. let's talk about turkey then, just give us your take on the economic outlook. president erdogan has said in his election campaign, the economy essential to something he really wa nts economy essential to something he really wants to tackle that there

mr. erdogan to avoid a second runoff, if there is anybody that can stop mr. dogan from getting 51% of the vote, all of the experts agree it is this person who has come from a long career in parliament, but not the leader of his party. representing a broad church of opposition all the way from radical islamic parties right through to the staunchly secular heir to the founder of modern turkey. this is the man who support his supporters hope and certainly mr. erdogan might fear may force the current incumbent to a presidential runoff. of course his coalition of parties also trying to eat away at the dominance of mr. erdogan's ruling party in the parliamentary elections. he had a massive turnout in his support base in the city with the interesting to see whether or not he beggalvanizes such a large crowd. >> and i believe erdogan's own final rally ahead of the election is due to begin in minutes. and of course in the past he has campaigned as an underdog against the establishment. now 18 years later he is very much the establishment in turkey. so we'll see how tha

mr. erdogan.he is referring to the constitutional power the reelected president now has under the law. he had been exercising it in real terms anyway as president. now he has the rule by decree. very little opportunity to counter any of the checks and balances you might see in the united states with the separation of powers. for mr. erdogan's perspective, having entrenched himself in the next five years, there may be cause for optimism. he may feel now empowered to reach out to the kurds. he had been pursuing a peace process with them. perhaps he has more confidence to restart it. he has five years of power. >> wasn't very long ago he survived a coup attempt. thank you, sam. >>> you got the ongoing immigration feud and denuclearization on the korean peninsula, and the trade war. the president has a lot on his plate and now has time for a twitter feud with jimmy fallon. now he is speaking out the night he tussled president trump's hair. >> i did not do it to normalize him. i don't do that with any

the odds are still stacked in mr erdogan's faber, 90% of the media is pro—government.n prison and opposition posters are vastly outnumbered and torn down but for the first time in 15 years, turkey mightjust decide that the erdogan magic has run out. ethiopia's prime minister has survived a grenade attack at a huge political rally in the capital, addis ababa. abiy ahmed was speaking to thousands of supporters when the attack took place. more than 80 people were injured in the blast. since taking office in april, mr abiy has criticised human rights abuses by the security forces, sacked military leaders, and begun moves to make peace with ethiopia's rival eritrea. the maritime authorities in malta have asked the charity—run rescue ship aquarius to help a boat in trouble off the coast of tunisia. last week neither malta nor italy would allow the vessel to dock, after it rescued 630 migrants off the coast of libya. italy has since banned charity and foreign flagged ships coming ashore, if migrants are onboard. the england world cup squad have been training this morning in r

mr. erdogan is no not to be a fan of higher interest rates.s pressure the central bank in the past to continue to push the rates lower. we saw the central bank raise rates in the emergency session off the pressure that was exerted on the lira. the expectation is that the central bank will continue to try and restore some level of stability. the problem is that you have a strengthening dollar and the rising u.s. rates that are going to getting the matter. we will have to wait and see whether mr. erdogan will live up to the rhetoric that he really shares with much of the world before this vote, whether he will face the reality. he did give in ultimately when the lira came under significant pressure. we are talking about losses in the vicinity of 20% from one of markets. performing it is having a real impact istanbul on across the country. what kind depends on of coalition is achieved, but will investors be watching for domestic policy, or ueli maurer dish will they be more they beated -- or will more concentrated on nato allies going forward? th

mr erdogan is here. he is there. he is everywhere. there is not a single opposition poster insight. him as their saviour in what secular dominated turkey. he repeated his slogan. "one nation, one flag, one state". and invited them to give his rivals a slapped her. mr erdogan may still prove his doubters wrong but for the first time in 15 years and it seems possible that the erdogan magic is running out. at the world cup in russia — england have arrived in nizhny novgorod ahead of their match against panama tomorrow. victory for gareth southgate's side will see them join belgium in the knockout stages, who beat tunisia 5—2 today. our correspondent natalie pirks reports. it was once a bastion of soviet secrets. but now it is reveling in its role as world cup host. with the mercury topping the 30 degrees, gareth southgate got a feel for the heat inside of the state this afternoon. in russia's13th—century city, he is keen to consign past tournaments the history. we are a hungry team and improved. we want to show people that an england team can play in a different way. we want them to get

mr erdogan is either despised or adored. s appointing his cabinet, his vice presidents, and even seniorjudges. that concerns the opposition. president erdogan's main rival muharrem ince warned today that turkey was entering a dangerous regime of one—man rule. he called on mr erdogan to embrace the whole nation. translation: president erdogan, from now on please don't act like you are the leader of the akp. bring people together. be the president for the 81 million people. i suggest you use my campaign slogan, everyone's president. president erdogan's governing akp lost seats in parliament but will still be able to secure a majority with the help of the nationalist party, who did much better in the election than expected. since the failed coup in 2016 over 100,000 public workers have been dismissed or sacked from their posts. more than 50,000 were arrested. 90% of the media here in turkey is controlled directly or indirectly by the government. president erdogan is adamant that turkish democracy is strong, and the huge turnout

mr erdogan has already served as president for four years and before that he was prime minister for more than a decade. now in a referendum last year voters changed the constitution transferring significant authority from parliament to the president at the same time limiting checks on executive power air to one promised voters a radical departure from the past and it is radical many of the presidential powers put into effect following a failed coup two years ago are now permanent but some things have not changed and probably won't anytime soon ninety percent of the media is pro-government meaning the voice of the opposition will remain mostly muted and for journalists daring to report on dissent one statistic remains unchanged no country in the world has put more journalists in prison than ever to once turkey we begin tonight in the turkish capital uncle. tookie woke to a new political landscape on monday but still very familiar longstanding leads a region. cemented his hold on power winning a further five years in office. but as turks digested the news election monitors from the organiz

he told supporters he would fight for the working class, challenging mr erdogan to a tv debate whichrce the president into a second round run—off after the election tomorrow and with other opposition parties, win a majority in parliament. this is the half of turkey that feels mr erdogan has destroyed democracy with his clamp—downs and hostility to the west. confidence is growing despite the fear of vote rigging. but the pro—erdogan side still passionately believes in him. conservative, pious turks revere him as their saviour in once secular—dominated turkey. they vaunt the bridges, hospitals and airports he‘s built and they talk about western plots to ruin their country. the odds are still stacked in mr erdogan‘s favour, 90% of the media is pro—government. the kurdish presidential candidate is in prison and opposition posters are vastly outnumbered and torn down but, for the first time in 15 years, turkey mightjust decide that the erdogan magic has run out. the maritime authorities in malta have asked the charity—run rescue ship aquarius to help a boat in trouble off the coast of tun

the state—run agency has given the presidential results as such, mr erdogan leading with 54.4% and hislicting figures as well. independent election monitors across the country are giving different figures, saying that the votes for president erdogan remain at 43%. why is this important? president erdogan needs to get more than 50% of the vote to secure the executive presidency that he was hoping to get in the first round, otherwise, if no candidate gets more than 50% of the votes, there will be a run—off in two weeks and he will face his main challenger. we have still yet to know whether the final results would put mr erdogan over this 50% threshold. there is also of course one important other thing, turkish people have been voting for parliamentary elections as well and as we speak, we are learning that the ak party party has actually lost its parliamentary majority, which was down to a kurdish party getting more than 10% of the votes. was down to a kurdish party getting more than 1096 of the votes. thank you very much. the latest on those elections in turkey and we will keep an eye o

but reviving the economy is now one of the biggest challenges for mr erdogan as he gets set to begin a second term as president. investors are worried about how much control the government has over the economy and that's led the turkish lira to lose more than half its value against the us dollar since mr erdogan first became president in august 2014. however last year the economy grew by a healthy 7.4%, with growth in construction, services and increasing household consumption. but a lot of this has been paid for by borrowing and there are concerns that businesses may struggle to repay their debts. in total, the economy has an estimated $200 billion of dollar debt which is getting more expensive to repay. and less money has been coming into the country with foreign investment falling. it's fallen almost 40% from its peak two years ago to just under $iibn last year. anthony skinner is a director at the risk consultancy verisk maplecroft. you were listening to those statistics. the bare facts are quite tough, but the president is here to stay for some time and he has got some pretty st

mr. erdogan won a second term. we talked trade with kit juckes. a little bit later on, we get a view on global growth and ubs gives us their call on turkey lira after erdogan solidified his power after the election. let's get straight to the bloomberg first word news. here's taylor riggs. has won aey, erdogan mandate to govern with sweeping powers after eight victory in presidential and parliamentary elections. the government news agency, he had 53% of the presidential vote to 31% for his closest challenger of the secular republican people's party, with more than 99% of the ballot counted. the index opened 3.7% higher this morning and the lira strengthened by as much as 3% on the news. a investigation has found that hedge funds hired polling companies who sold them advanced information on the e.u. referendum, including data that would have been illegal to give to the public. this allowed some of them to earn fortunes by shortselling the british pound. confidentiality agreements have made it difficult to discover the identities of the hedge funds, b

mr. 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
