And protests on the pitch as cameroon struggled to cope with what they saw as contentious referee if there is a loss to think that. Im sara kelly welcome to the program turkeys president recha type area won has suffered a serious defeat after losing control of a stumble in a rerun of the Mayoral Election their opposition candidate who won the vote by a landslide his victory ends a quarter of a century of rule in the city by air to once islamic conservatives observers say that it is a triumph for democracy and could usher in change across the country. The undisputed victor of istanbuls maryland lection is this man. He extended his majority in sundays controversial rerun of a ballot he already narrowly won in march the new man called it a vote for change what is the very did this is not a victory this is a new beginning. Like to say from here that as of tomorrow i will treat 16000000 people equally as im a. German. President wretched tired out of ones a k party and call the 1st result irregular and the electoral board agreed this time around the ones man benali year him conceded defeat. According to the results as of now my competitors are a crummy mama lou is leading the race i congratulate him and wish him good luck. Her. Tens of thousands turned out to celebrate. Todays only im so excited that the right person has one just to says one love and unity one the people in istanbul have won everything its great now we will work for a Bright Future together shoulder to shoulder but really i am so happy. That im actually just took at the moment cant ignore it its enough the people have spoken and their will has become clear justice has been served at the in the way. But the a k Party Faithful was shocked and disappointed. Has a mind you know it has and i think people do not see the good things thai of anyone has done we are all sad our relatives came here from other cities just for today and now we are so sad disappointed thinks it will be the end of the i k pay for services maam. The result is a further blow to president out of one whos been accused of our terror in islam and is struggling to revive a flagging economy he also lost municipal elections in ankara and izmir in march but istanbul is the jewel in his crown out of ones home town and where his career started as man now the city and its new leader are going their own way. And lets go live now to istanbul where t w as you leon is standing by yulia fair to say that this is a turning point now in the partys dominance of turkish politics. Well this has definitely boosted the oppositions selfesteem its it is the 1st opposition victory here in istanbul in 25 years and people have celebrated all night until the Early Morning hours they have honked their horns of their cars they were dancing in chanting they were always repeating missing mom whose political slogan which is in turkish hair shade was that all logic everything will be great in mama who has led an old embracing Grassroots Campaign here in the past weeks she met many people in person was taking thousands of selfies with citizens and he has been sending out a very positive message to people here in. He said you know i want a city where unity counts where love and equality counts instead of polarization and that was a message that was going down well with a lot of citizens here in this very polarized so sayat i spoke to young people you know young people here in istanbul they have only known president admins ruling a. K. P. In power since the party is in power for more than 17 years and this political politically conservative movement has run this city for more than 25 years so these young people say we want change we sometimes dont feel we can express ourselves freely we want better education better jobs and they now have these hopes that misty mamadou the oppositions may and now can change that so there is at the same time a huge response ability now for this new mayor here in turkeys largest city and the big question is what he will do next earlier we spoke with the deputy chair on Foreign Affairs from him on the loose party and we asked him whether the new mayor would now have his sights set on challenging era to want for the presidency i wish to listen in to what he said and get your reaction. So many men will be has become a very important political figure in ready ready politics if. Success is sustainable if you shows the. Sustainable success in istanbul then theres certainly going to be. You know how likely does it look that hell challenge everyone on the national level. Well thats of course what many people are now talking about but you have to know president add one is still the most powerful leader in modern turkish history and he will stay in power for the forseeable foreseeable future thats at least what he and his party will be emphasizing i spoke to a member of his party earlier was trying to downplay the defeat saying well this is democracy now the opposition won it shows that democracy in turkey is still functioning but critics all of the president and his party say this is. The biggest defeat personal defeat for the president in his whole political career since istanbul is just so hugely important for him this is where his career started when he became mayor of the city in 1994 this is an economic hub the Financial Center of turkey so its really a major blow to him and his power and it sends the signal sends a message to the rest of turkey as well the a. K. P. And president add on a low no longer invincible yulia what does it need to deliver now to meet the voters expectations. Well you know he has a companion with the lifting hundreds of thousands of people here in istanbul out of poverty he has complained with offering better serve social Services Education and job so he has promised a lot of course and you have to know turkey is still in the midst of an economic crisis is the currency is still has lost a lot of value against the euro and the dollar everything has got much more expensive food prices have increased so laws so much so the big question is of course what can the mayor of istanbul do about this certainly his supporters have hopes that he can change something about the Economic Situation but now its really time for him to start serving as mayor and then also show what he can do what he can achieve you leon and i thank you. Now u. S. Secretary of state my thumb peo has started a tour of other countries to try and form an International Coalition against iran his 1st stop a saudi arabia where he was welcomed by king solomon and the crown prince impale will go on to hold talks with officials in other gulf states as well as europe and asia the visits come as tension escalates between the 2 countries last week the u. S. Pulled back from a military strike in retaliation for the downing of an american drone in the city. And the u. S. Is to announce a fresh round of trade sanctions against iran today u. S. President donald trump said that he hopes that the measures will bring iran back to the negotiating table many ordinary iranians are already suffering under the strain of the current sanctions some say that theyve been pushed into poverty. Iran is feeling the pinch the reintroduction of u. S. Sanctions has had a crippling effect on the economy the value of the reale has plummeted pushing inflation to over 30 percent and u. S. President Donald Trumps attempt to destroy the countrys oil industry is having an effect to the influential middle classes are among those hard hit. Dont you this that you have the economic woe is a reality and people are under extreme pressure they keep telling us to be strong but we can already hear the sound of our bones breaking under this pressure some iranians are being pushed below the poverty line. As far as i can see peoples purchasing power has been more than hard for. Anyone earning between 1500000. 00 reales to 2000000. 00 reals a month between 35. 47 u. S. Dollars who also has to pay rent wont be able to even afford to buy bread and potatoes its unimaginable. Through a. Lifting of sanctions in 2016 spurred rapid growth of more than 12 percent but their reimposition last year delta massive blow. The International Monetary fund is forecasting the iranian economy will shrink by 6 percent this year. The withdrawal of Foreign Companies has also driven up and employment european firms that have left include car makers miss sadies and persia oh but smaller firms are also becoming increasingly wary of doing business in iran. Should iran follow through on its threat to enrich uranium beyond permitted levels the nuclear deal could collapse entirely in that case u. N. Sanctions would also be reimposed a move that could bring irans economy to its knees.

Here watching still to come on the program the bible photo from greenland that is making a splash around the world to meet the photographer behind me and showing the reality of Global Warming in the arctic and tears protests and anger on the pitch at the womens world cup cameroons footballers crash out against england after a series controversial call by the video assistant referee. The cave 1000 people turned out for the largest. Event in ukraines history there was heavy Police Protection at the pride parade to prevent the violence the event has seen in the past. Rainbows as far as the i can see so far so thinner but this is no ordinary pride parade security is tight and police often seemingly outnumbered participants of pride has come a long way since it began with a few dozen participants back in 2013 and its attracting new and diverse groups of people. Laurie to ukraine glory to the heroes the crowd that is the fischel group of ukraines own forces and not something you expected to hear. Pride parade until now that is their job this school im a soldier and im gay i was a volunteer in the dumb ass but im far from 2014 to 2016 were fighting on the front for the freedom of ukraine. And the freedom of every citizen in a free country not less should you knew. His isnt a unique story hundreds of thousands of ukrainians from of life have volunteered to fight since the conflict began 24 teams making the cranes armed forces more diverse than ever before but most choose to keep quiet about their sexuality until they leave the ranks. Young due to have been an active Service Since russia attacked us. If we dont stand up for ourselves therell be no freedom no equality and not just for people with freedom has to be defended shot that we will defend our children from paedophiles opposed to read these words what do you do with a poster go do something useful go fight. Here pride is still more demonstration and party place for charts and posters and not for celebration yet. Now earlier this month a photo taken in greenland went viral it showed the scale of the arctic melting ice sheets and brought attention to the regions rising temperatures the photographer behind the photo said that he hopes that it will trigger more commitment to protect him. Now back home in denmark Stephan Elson is astounded that his photo made such an impact around the world. The image of huskies in ankle deep water was taken on june 13th at the inglefield fjord in northwest greenland normally at that time of year the temperature is a few degrees celsius below 0 but on that day it was much warmer than usual. It was 17 degrees celsius almost the highest temperature ever recorded very unusual because there were still snow on the sea the lake turned into melting water. Olsen says the picture is just a snapshot in time so alone it cant be taken as concrete evidence of Climate Change when he published it on twitter it provoked a lively debate for many it symbolizes the dangers of Global Warming others accused olson of faking the photo the Climate Research of himself is happy that his photo has read directed public attention back to the situation in the arctic for years scientists have been warning that the region is heating up this week a new study presented a stock forecast if global Greenhouse Gas emissions are not reduced greenlands ice could melt dramatically by 2200 leaving low lying coastal cities and islands on the water. Its difficult to forecast 1000 years into the future but we can see the near future very clearly in the next 100 years the melting ice will cause sea levels to rise by half a metre to a metre. This year greenland summer thaw started very early and the ice sheet is melting unusually fast Stephan Olson hopes his picture will stay in peoples minds. Maybe the picture hit a nerve it addresses something that other photos dont it shows a very warm day in the arctic. He says photos that to quickly forgotten are of little value its a memorable image like this could encourage more action on Climate Change. Well now to the womans world cup where hosts france have advanced to the quarterfinals after they beat brazil by 2 goals 21 france went in front on the 52nd minute went to the army broke down the wing to set up that every one that was a one all shortly after though to use supplying the finish to bring brazil level the tie went into extra time and in the 106 minutes france is kept in on we all asked on to the end of the 3 k. To send her side into the quarter final. Fave granik has the breakdown for us now from d. W. Sports so what do you make of that victory it was a fantastic game a really intense crackling atmosphere and i think france to the great job to come out on top although they looked good in possession and were dominant throughout the game they have had a bit of trouble finishing off their chances in creating so although they managed to get past brazil i think thats something looking forward they might have to tweak a bit going into the quarter finals elsewhere we saw england beat cameroon 3 nail this was really controversial it was it was truly a bizarre game and that was mainly because the Important Role that the video assistant referee played in the matches kind of dominated the match and the headlines here were seeing that england 2nd goal was put under review by the video assistant and once it was allowed that the response from the cameroon players was quite incredible they were inconsolable and were slow to start. Again and the same thing happened in the 2nd half when it seemed like they had scored a goal of their own and that was ruled off so were seeing really high tension and emotions all because the v. A. Are and some of the calls behind it. And i think honestly throughout this tournament v. A. R. Has really been a disaster even if most of the calls have been correct its really destroyed the rhythm of these matches and i think its not being used as it should be looking at every minor decision and really dragging things out so its players from cameron certainly werent happy with it either you know their reactions were quite strong we saw some of them there how have people been taking that it around the world yeah just the raw emotion of the players and often their refusal to immediately return to play after these decisions has kind of sparked a storm and even englands coach phil neville had a fair amount to say about it after the match. The behavior was wrong behavior is wrong because its the image of womens football that is going out worldwide about the team that comes this side in the sides refusing to play and im proud of my players but the discipline and the belief that they had to going out there im just playing the game of football. So those are pretty strong words from the ball there and he even went further to say that it was shaming football which i honestly think is a bit over the top so to say that this reflects on the image of womens football and to say its a massive shame for the game for me its a little bit too much and you frequently see this when it comes to the role of emotions in womens soccer or african teams particularly a kind of broad statements are often made where they reflect on all of womens soccer all of these teams whereas if the mens team or a mans player does something a little unsportsmanlike or over the top youre less likely to hear those broad generalizations i would say it was a double standard ok so dave what do we have to look forward to in tonights matches so the u. S. Is playing against spain which is going to be a really exciting match the winner of whom will play against france in the quarter finals and then we have sweden in canada so 2 really great matches tonight.
