little m. terry martin. good to have you with us. turkey is president richard type add on and his conservative a k party had suffered a major blow in local elections, turkeys, main opposition party. the secular c h p claimed victory in key cities, including the symbol and the capital anchor up there. the one called the set back a loss of altitude and said his party would analyze the message. the people had given him. the votes are seen as a bell, whether of support for the president and his increasingly authoritarian rule. of position supporters is done both are painting the town, read, celebrating the main opposition, c. h. b, spectacular victories in local elections across the key. the secular bodies use it as a sign that it still stands, the jones at the national level, against the ruling e k. parking the occupants. these election results have been response to the

a k t regimes repression to what they've done to the economy and the social structure of this contract. and that's why i'm very happy now for my country was under kim, with the not to. we were very disillusioned of the last 2 years to know where the electrons but now being here celebrating with people being able to tear. we really miss these kind of feelings. we are very happy. and so is the mind of the hour. just on the mirror, efram in my model. this is his 2nd victory, and doki is mega city. he, my model has achieve superstar status and douglas politics. putting him on the bottom nation of our many see him as president other ones. chief rival he stumbled on was of the nation itself, gives the order and the instructions to not just one person. the officials receive

instructions from the nation back to the period of one man. rule is over. as of today, it is done is the republic and democracy can go full speed ahead from now on how you set a jack, who's the developed mom the was defeat for or the one, and it's a k party in more than 2 decades in power. i just thought the president had thrown everything at winning is done by duck easy can all make and politically the bible house, he conceded the loss at his body's headquarters and, and got a whole year mistake. just my city's been sort of mean we will not disrespect a nation's decision, but under any circumstances, a, me look, we will stay away from being stopping with the nice of the acting against the nations will, in questioning the nation's discretion. what good as we have done since today,

you know, like through all those do not march 31st is not the end for us this day. it is actually a turning point, you know, does it the just on but it was wet or the one launched has bought the car you're as me or 2 years ago know many sees potentially challenger following in his footsteps spring incident. i didn't just get here. she's a professor of international relations, these a bunch of university and also a research and academic affairs coordinator at the assembled policy center. thanks for being with us. now one of the big windows in the selection is we just saw, as the stumble may or a crumb in my more glue. what does his victory mean for present ad on as well, i mean, i think we all have to say fast, the full that this has been a huge victory for the tough to show position overall. and not just the memo,

the oppose the ma moment. victory means this is his 3rd victory against babylon. if you consider the 1st 2 with actions that e one as well, including the repeat election back in 2019, i think those to show that this was just not victory against his competitor and assemble. but his competitor was back very strongly by either one. so he took to the streets before the election. and i think having seen the polls plus all of his ministers in hold of the state administration that supported him. so in that sense, it is indeed a major victory since it wasn't even a close one, but it was a 10 percentage one. and they said this victory that is back, not just by court, the age we support, there's but supports is from other political segments of society being turkey as well, including sacraments, up to the center, right? the cartridge communities, the more left wing communities. so societally speaking,

it is a much wider composition of the electorate than just the c h, b, and that's in which goes to show that he has a strong potential in turkey and not just and as some. so this is a broad based victory. you're saying what were the topics that the opposition did particularly well with in the selection or well, i mean, of course, and the number one issue that you had was the economy. the economy has been doing substantially bad for the last couple of years. but this year has been particularly difficult for the citizens since they also started feeling the effect of the could only reforms in steps undertaken by the government in the form of devising installation unemployment or sec truck. so they were held, i would say more strongly than they were, let's say 9 months before when we had the general election in to you. so economy was cheap. but apart from that because you have to consider that this is

a local election. so tended export also important and the opposition, i think they did a good job of selecting the good candidates in various different districts and also in cities across the 13th. and also you have the incumbency effect. i think we called them the electric chair for people like the memo only as well. have been in power or like the all are seen on cut off. and they've had, in fact performed quite well while they were governing the dresser. thank you very much for talking with this day. that was professor sent a i didn't do is get from symbol in turkey. thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. hundreds of people have been celebrating berlin's brandenburg game to after a law partially legalizing kind of is, comes into effect in germany. over a teens can now possess up to 25 grams for personal use and cultivate up to 3 plants of home. the conservative opposition christian democrats are about to revoke

the law if they regain power is rarely military says it has killed a senior commander and has the laws missile unit. the army released this video. it says shows several airstrikes and 11 on and identified. the commander, as is, well, i've seen, they say he was killed when he is really air force bomb, the car in southern lebanon, as well, has confirmed his death. a new palestinian cabinet including 6 ministers from gaza was worn in on sunday palestinian government, led by president buffalo to boss is under pressure from washington to play get greater role in the gaza strip after the war palestinian authority has had almost no influence in gaza since i'm asked to have power there in 2007 now to israel, where thousands have been talk, taking part in an anti government protest, described as the biggest since the october 7. am us terror attacks. some

demonstrates clash with police during march is calling for the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu to resign. they also demanded the release of around a $130.00 hostages, still being held by him on the huge crowds blocked roads and lit fires as they march towards these rarely parliament last nights and nothing yahoo rejected the protesters demands before undergoing a hernia operation. the 10s of thousands gathered in jerusalem for the beginning of a, for the rally. it's the largest anti government demonstration since the october 7 terrorist attack many are fed up with the failure to secure the release of hostages, held by him off among other things. and are calling for an early election. so what i'm doing here is trying to change the government because this government is a complete and utter failure. and the only way they will do this into the abyss

that will never come out though. faced with increasing pressure to resign israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu standing his ground. okay, you want to pay a lot of calls for elections now during the war right before a victory would paralyze israel for at least a half a year. it would paralyze the negotiation for the release of our hostages and it would end the war before its objectives are completed. the 1st one to benefit from this would be how minus yeah, from us keeping up the military pressure coupled with quote, flexibility and the negotiations is nothing. yeah. who's planned to secure the hostages release? a key part of that plan is ralph of israel's planned operation. there has sparked international concerns warning of the humanitarian catastrophe. but and then yeah, who insist israel will go ahead but it's plan. that's what it is that we will go

into rough uh and eliminate the homeless battalions there. there will be no victory without the operation and rough uh and there will be no victory without the elimination of how most battalions there. as the fighting goes on, israel's delegation has arrived in egypt for fresh. these fire talks that both sides have cast out on whether there will be break through this time. they say the gap between their positions is still too wide. and joining us now from jerusalem is our correspondent rebecca richards. rebecca, how divided our is rarely use over netanyahu's government? well, as you can see from those protests that we're seeing again now the biggest protest since october 7 as you heard, and that report as rail is riley's up extremely divided on the issue of the government. it must be noisy that your society here is not divided on the war and the way that the government has has handled or conducted the war in gaza. they're

also not divided on this decision by a benjamin netanyahu. i me is ready to government to push on with times to go into rasa in southern gaza. on that is ro is rarely, society is pretty united, but when it comes to the government, the, the, the most right. when government in israel is history and its prime minister benjamin netanyahu, israelis are extraordinarily divided. you seeing more and more anger at the lack of progress on hostage negotiations. the fact that there's still more than a 100 hostages, not all of whom are alive, but more than a 100 hostages. more than a 130 hostages actually, still in concert that the government haven't been able to negotiate the release of is causing more and more anger among the population. now, netanyahu's government was already causing a huge divide in israel before october 7th. before this will begin, and we're starting to see the flames of those protests that we saw pretty much most

of last year beginning again now and i think we'll see them continue. terry. the premises i know who, who has said elections would paralyzes real for months and served from us as aims are that was calling for his resignation. rebecca, not concerned about that as well. there is concern so that terry a lot of people not the people that we were talking to of the protest last night. and so suddenly a lot of people think that the elections with while you hit protest is saying that the country is already in paralysis. so we may as well make a huge change and try and change that. but of course you do also have people agreeing with that. even people who want to say netanyahu stepped down or face responsibility for october 7 and for the handling of the off them off. but uh, but many people are calling for that to happen once the war is completed. however, as you see from the people on out on the streets last nights and many people that

we speak to here in israel, there's a lot of people who say, you know, the paralysis already exists. we need to see all people out hostages, all family members and loved ones come home. this is not going to happen under a netanyahu government, and we want to stay them gone now. and you know that, that there is a machine that will keep the war running even as elections are carried out here. so, so even divided on that. but certainly people that think it's worth giving that a guy. rick, thanks very much. those are corresponding rebecca rivers in jerusalem. it's just a reminder of the top story we're following for you this. our turkey's main opposition party is celebrating as it heads towards major victories and nationwide local elections. parcel results show the ruling a k party and present the other one has suffered defeats in the key cities of bankrupt and assemble. you're watching dw news coming july from berlin up. next we have our tech program shift looking at agriculture. in the digital age. i'm
