Hello and welcome to world news today. The opposition has won a re run of the election for mayor of turkeys biggest city, istanbul, in a major setback for the turkish president , recep tayyip erdogan. Ekrem imamoglu beat his rival mr erdogans choice by about nine percent a far greater margin than in marchs poll, which was annulled by the electoral authorities. President erdogan congratulated Ekrem Imamoglu on his victory but the re run widely seen as a referendum on mr erdogan appear quite an extraordinary scene. He congratulated him on his victory, he congratulated him on but the re run widely seen as a referendum on mr erdogan appear to be a gamble that backfired. Currently in istanbul. A very co mforta ble currently in istanbul. A very comfortable win for him, far larger margin of victory than back in march, the first time this election was held, today it was the rerun of that election and this feels like a really watershed moment for turkey because for 16 years, he is tired of this country. He was mayor of istanbul and then president as well and he has towered over a hopelessly divided opposition. They have found their voice, they have found their hope tonight and in a polarised country, they feel like they the opposition, has finally found what they were looking for. That optimism and that hope that they were yearning for. And so it will be seen asa yearning for. And so it will be seen as a huge setback for president erdogan, the biggest blow in his political career. He was in who said whoever winds istanbul winds turkey, he regret that comment tonight and this will hasten talk of a post erdogan era. Is this the beginning of the end for him . The implications of this will be fairly deep. I think in many ways will be seen tonight as a precursor to a president ial election which is scheduled for 2023 but may be brought forward because the loss by president erdogan who made this a really personal contest, he said it was a matter of survival here in istanbul, that loss will hasten splits and prompt talk as to whether 01 splits and prompt talk as to whether or not his magic has run out. That isa or not his magic has run out. That is a very bad news for him and his supporters, particularly because he does not really have an heir apparent. The party is him. The state is him to a large extent. Without him, his party is not very much at all if he is not able to keep hold of turkeys powerhouse, then that bodes pretty badly for him in the future of his political party. He was clearly behind the approach for a rerun, so it is a gamble that did not pay off. Approach for a rerun, so it is a gamble that did not pay offm approach for a rerun, so it is a gamble that did not pay off. It was a hugely risky strategy, his party lost by a sliver back in march. 0. 1 . Tonight it was lost by about 10 . The opposition Ekrem Imamoglu managed to find this message of optimism, message of change, message ofa optimism, message of change, message of a future that they were longing for, literally it means everything will be fine. Smiles and a positive message compared to the slurs and the smears that have been thrown at him and they called him a terrorist supporter, the compared them to these things and they cannot find these things and they cannot find the message or the tactic to counter his positivity. And that is what i think tonight has shown that the other side of this country, the opposition side was yearning for someone who would crystallize what they wanted in turkey. They found that in Ekrem Imamoglu and it is the biggest blow to president erdogan it is 25 year political career. Ethiopia had looked to be one of the more stable and successful not the same party as president erdogan is now speaking and addressing the crowd which as you can see, are quite numerous. With me here in the studio is the chair for studies at the London School of economics. What do you make of what has been happening in istanbul and its significance . It is amazing. Most Democratic Institutions in turkey are in shambles. Independence of judiciary, turkey are in shambles. Independence ofjudiciary, the powers of parliament there is no independent media. The only thing that is left was the ballot box and when the last elections, many people were upset, they felt there was no point doing these elections again, we should boycott it. But Ekrem Imamoglu is very optimistic. He had an all embracing approach and he kept saying everything will be beautiful, everything will be beautiful. And 110w everything will be beautiful. And now they succeeded in our people are celebrating. It was a more decisive when the last time because he won it last time too. So the president did not get the outcome that he was wanting. Exactly. It totally backfired and many people did take it almost as a referendum, notjust asa it almost as a referendum, notjust as a mayor. Istanbul is not the whole of turkey to what extent to this representative . Is simple generate some part of the turkish economy and it is a city of migrants, people from everywhere live in istanbul and as mayor of istanbul, his political carrier, he said that whoever gets istanbul, they will get everything. So he put a lot of emphasis on istanbul because istanbul is symbolically very important and as Ekrem Imamoglu comes out victorious, everyone concurs that now they will see a new leader. That he will probably be the person who challenges him in the next president ial election. I imagine, his Coalition Partner, the Coalition Partner immediately said, let us not bring up early elections. What a better way of bringing up the topic of early elections by saying that at already, there are fractions in his party, those that are struggling to hold them together and as soon as they saw that Ekrem Imamoglus power is crumbling, they also will want to form a new party and they will also be calling for elections. There are two strategies in front of erdogan. He can either, he may go to jail because there is an allegation that he insulted a mayor which Ekrem Imamoglu refuses, if that is established that he cannot be the mayor. We will take this away from him. He can also make it impossible for him to rule, take all the Decision Making powers or he can share the power. He can democratize the country, he can normalise it and bring the Democratic Institutions back and that may be the way he can stay in power. Ethiopia had looked to be one of the more stable and successful countries in africa, but that confidence has been dented by the announcement by the Prime Minister that a top military officer has been killed in a coup attempt. Abiy ahmed has confirmed that the military chief of staff suh Seare Mekonnen and three other officials, including the leader of the northern amhara region, were killed in two separate attacks. The Ethiopian Government has blamed a former Amhara Security chief for the unrest. Immanuel igunza has the details. It was the moment that the Prime Minister broke the news on state tv of the shooting of his chief of staff. But it will be hours before the government actually confront the man, walking away the Prime Minister had been killed. The government says he is trying to stop a coup attempt in the Northern Regional state and was killed with another official. They have also come under arrest and also other operations and process. Two of the local leaders were also killed on saturday in a separate attack. The general has only been in office for a year, and his killing isa office for a year, and his killing is a big blow to the Prime Minister was making sweeping changes to the military. But those who form within the Security Sector that engine last year, the Prime Minister had this attempt on his life at a massive rally in the capital. In october, they strummed his palace. Since he came to power last year, they were releasing Political Prisoners and bans on Political Parties and he has failed to contain Ethnic Violence and misplaced people across the country. There also seen an increase in smuggling and lawlessness with the killing of his closest allies can be his biggest challenge yet since he took power. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. Mauritanias government has declared victory in the countrys president ial election. With counting completed in nearly all polling stations, mauritanias Electoral Commission said the ruling partys mohamed 0uld ghazouani won 51. 9 of the vote. 0pposition candidates say the vote was marred by irregularities and they intend to contest the result. The Indian Police say they have recovered seven bodies believed to be those ofa british led group of mountaineers who went missing in the himalayas a month ago after they were hit by an avalanche near the base camp of the countrys second highest peak, nanda second highest peak, nanda devi. The Search Operations for one remaining climber will resume on monday. Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in the czech capital, prague. To demand the resignation of the Prime Minister, andrej babis. The billionaire businessman is facing a criminal investigation over alleged European Union subsidy fraud worth more than two million dollars. He denies any wrongdoing and says the allegations are politically motivated. The bbcs rob cameron is in prague. 0rganisers had promised that this will be the biggest demonstration since the fall of communism in 1989, when a cloud of more than half and million foot people gathered in protest of the regime. People are still screaming and all the time and it is an incredible achievement for what was a few days ago a student movement. It does not change the political reality of the Czech Republic it does not change the parliamentary arithmetic where he still has a secure hold on power. He says he will never resign over these fraud allegations. The president says he will not sack him in the coalition allies, for now, are sticking with him. The question is, how much more pressure, how many more demonstrations can one man take . Stay with us on bbc world news, still to come if you think that team sport players arent as good at endurance as Long Distance runners, think again. Well tell you why in just a moment. This is bbc new world news. Celebrations in the turkish city of istanbul as the opposition wins a rerun of the Mayoral Election. A major setback for president erdogan. Ethiopias president second hand man was shot dead. Here in britain, the conservative leadership candidate jeremy hunt says his rival borisjohnson must be prepared to answer difficult questions if hes to become the next Prime Minister. The foreign secretary said someone who wanted that role should answer questions on everything but that he wouldnt comment on mrjohnsons personal life. On friday police were called to the flat he shares with his partner, after reports of a row. Borisjohnsons team say he ought to bejudged on his policies not his private life. Heres our chief Political Correspondent vicki young. If you want to be Prime Minister, you had to face some tough questions. Borisjohnson you had to face some tough questions. Boris johnson is you had to face some tough questions. Borisjohnson is refusing to talk about his private life and police visit after a row with his girlfriend it is under pressure to give more details about his policies for government too. And peter today, his leadership rivaljeremy hunt says what happens in peoples personal lives as a matter for them. But mrjohnson should answer questions on everything. But mrjohnson should answer questions on everything] but mrjohnson should answer questions on everything. , and do live tv debates with me, do interviews, interviews on the today programme because it is no way to become Prime Minister by ducking these very important questions in so far, he is not answering them. Supporters of Boris Johnson far, he is not answering them. Supporters of borisjohnson are downplaying what happened here in friday morning when neighbours heard and recorded an argument between mr johnson and carrie simmons. Like the police are called to an incident and what did they say . They said eve ryo ne what did they say . They said everyone was what did they say . They said eve ryo ne was safe , what did they say . They said everyone was safe, everyone was well, there is no concerns that the officers had and there was no cause for any further action. Given what the police have said, it was a private incident, i should just leave it at that i think we should alljust leave it at that i think we should all just leave leave it at that i think we should alljust leave it at that. Get things right we can deliver brexit, unite the party. Three years since the uk voted to leave the eu and brexit is likely to dominate this leadership race. Both candidates were asked to explain this with 20 party members. Mr johnson was a new brexit deal, but says he would be willing to leave without one at the end of october. What i said was leaving on october on october the 315t, my words are eminently feasible. He has been accused of misrepresenting what that would mean in practise. Liam fox, who was backing mr hunt said it was wrong the tariff arrangements may not change from 15 years. That is not change from 15 years. That is not true. That is the problem. If we have no deal, we are likely to face tariffs from the European Union. Theyve already said twice that they will apply for tariffs to the uk which make our exports less competitive is because the price of uk goods would go up and its potentially benefit the economy stop by but mrjohnson supporters say that he has got it right and mr hunt will let people down. The idea that we can continue to pursue the policy. Of kicking the can down the road which is what the other candidate in this leadership race is advocating, jeremy hunt has said he would be prepared to delay beyond the 31st of october and i think that would be a disaster. With four weeks to go in all parts of the uk, both leaders know the scrutiny will continue. Marking the year were a group of boys and their football coach became trapped in a cave complex. The team was eventually rescued 18 days later and a mission that caught the attention of the world. The start of a race in remembrance of a rescue that captivated the world. These are some of the 12 boys who, a year ago, entered the vast tham luang cave system in northern thailand with their football coach to relax after training. A trip that went horribly wrong. Flash flooding left the teens trapped inside for more than two weeks with little food or water, before diving experts were able to rescue them. The death of a former Thai Navy Seal and rescue volunteer, who ran out of air while returning through the caves, highlighted just how perilous the mission was. A year later, and the boys have had their story chronicled in the books, documentaries, and a netflix production is also in the pipeline. Translation it is indescribable, my life has changed a lot. Translation i feel thankful for all the officials who, on this day last year, spent their time to help me out and the boys are so that we got out safely. I thank you very much. Also among those taking part in the charity race from the still closed caves to the village where the rescue took place were some of the experts involved. I think its important we never forget what happened in june and july last year. Its just really about people coming together and enjoying the day. It is hoped the race will be an annual event, with the money raised going to the redevelopment of the cave complex. Players good as endurance and Long Distance runners and as powerful as body builders. Thats according to Research Carried out by Manchester Metropolitan University in the uk. Professor hans deh kins is the lead researcher of the study and says the key is to combine strength and endurance training. I would say that team players need to continue for quite some time in endurance as well. They need to make big twists and turns, they need high power but at the same time they need considerable endurance to continue throughout the game. We should probably run in groups. |j think if you do that in groups, you will do endurance training but it is very on topic as the hips training we have endurance training and height intervals, intensity intervals enough to be a good thing and let my study suggests, during training sessions do not refrain from having resistance training sessions later on as well. So, maybe not necessarily at the same time, although that can be possible, but go to the maximum and resistance training and a moment, go to your maximum endurance training and then you have the data that suggest the benefits of both of them. Sounds exhausting. We are going to start with england at the womens world cup with england at the womens world cu p after with england at the womens world cup after a 3 0 win over cameroon, but there were extraordinary scenes which overshadow the result when the players briefly refused to restart after the second goal date conceded was given and that was not the only decision they made. Every step is going to plan for england, but now the heat turned up a notch and when it comes to knock out football, theres always one thought lingering in the background. The odds suggested this will be a walkover for england, cameroon tried everything to throw them off course. They survived that only to unravel minutes later when the goalkeeper picked up a back pass, step forward. Cameroon are ranked 43 places below england and soon they pressed on their advantage. It was a goal confirmed by var and the cameron players felt hard done by it. At the second half, they seem to have caught England Court only to have var steal the spotlight. When it matters, england found a way through as Alex Greenwood settled. It was a game that had everything but only one thing counts for england, they are through to the quarterfinals.
