we are talking here, this is mr ince, mr erdogan is on the right. what are his top—selling points? oints? up until now, the republican people party has been accused of being elitist but ince is accused of being elitist but ince is a person who has appeared as one of the people. his wife doesn't have a head scarf but his sister does have a headscarf, and until now, erdogan has said he represents the poor people, he says he represents the blacks of this country but now he lives in a palace, he is living in ructions and ince has been able to show that this is a contradiction. —— he is living in luxury. show that this is a contradiction. -- he is living in luxury. mr erdogan has never won an election but there are clearly a number of lessons he must have taken on board following the referendum in april of last year. it has been something of an eye opener for mr last year. it has been something of an eye openerfor mr erdogan, hasn't it? he changed his discourse and is adapting a lot of the things that his buddhism are saying, for example, he said, i may lifta his buddhism are saying, for

mr erdogan. he is facing his biggest challenge, he wa nts a facing his biggest challenge, he wants a second five—year term, but the opposition, muharrem inceyou can see on the screens. live pictures coming in from istanbul. we will get the latest in a moment. let's get the weather. temperatures have been around 2 degrees above those yesterday and there has been more sunshine today, notably for scotland and northern ireland, and that will continue as we go through this evening. some fine weather to end the day. it does mean that temperatures as they drop away will turn low across parts of scotland so it turns chilly here, but for most of us, given that temperatures have been hired in recent days, they will not drop as low overnight. we are getting warmer nights as well. more cloud for east anglia and the south—east on monday morning and cloud returning to the western isles, the northern isles, and perhaps the north—west highlands of scotla nd perhaps the north—west highlands of scotland which may just perhaps the north—west highlands of scotland which mayjust give the odd spot of drizzle. the fine, dry weather will continue for the rest of

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 inceost 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 member states have been holding talks in brussels on migration. they're trying to agree on reforms that will help the eu to better manage the influx of people which began in 2015. italy and malta have recently banned charity rescue boats from their ports, leaving vessels like the lifeline, loaded with migrants, stranded in internation
