Recep Tayyip Erdogan won 52 of the vote in turkeys first president ial election, first one. Its the kind of mandate a leader needs to use outsized ambitions for his country. A key member of nato with military installations facing russia and ukraine on the black sea, turkey has given support to Syrian Rebels who are fighting to unseat syrian president Bashar Alassad and in iraq erdogan reversed years of turkish opposition to kurdish automatic in the northern regions and boosted connection with appliance. Turkeys military alliance with israel, calling to block israels blockade of palestinians in gaza. As turkeys new president , erdogan will no doubt seek to expand his role in the world. But turkeys president s have only played a symbolic role, but now with the popular vote sealing his legitimacy, erdogan wants to change all of that. He has already changed so much in turkey during his three terms as Prime Minister he managed to sideline turkeys generals who plodded the overthrow of turkeys governments, he defied the secular secular traditions d turned it into the dominant force it is today. Growing economic muscle, turkey has trmple transformed itself. Turkey is the t in the new group called the socalled mint countries, mexico, indonesia, nigeria and t, turkey. That rifles the bricks, brazil, russian, india and south africa. But its economic engine is tarting to stall. Mary snow has more. Behind recep Tayyip Erdogans win in the election, the growth stood out after the Global Financial crisis. Turkeys gdp grew in 2010 and again in 2011 by 9 before dropping to two to 4 . Turkey had an advantage over other countries when World Markets were rattled thats because turkey had to restructure its banks and Financial Institutions years earlier when it suffered its fall in 2001. Turkeys financial structure was relatively balanced. Turkey did not have a huge public debt or fiscal deficit problem. Reporter turkey also became attractive to foreign investors. When the u. S. And European Union cut their rates to curb the financial crisis. The biggest driver of the turkish economy is the construction sector. Both at home and overseas turkey has become a construction magnet for world. Reporter and construction has helped provide jobs in a country that largely imports its energies resources. And it depends on the private sector for growth. Incomes have also been boosted. A decade ago the Gross National income was roughly 5,000. Its doubled o 10,950. But now Consumer Debt is one concern. Higher inflation is another. And economists are also aware of turkeys dependence on foreign money. Mary snowy, al jazeera. While turkey is trying to assert its influence on countries around it. Reva balla, one would look at turkey and historically, the ottoman and byzantine empire, say theyre really at the crossroads. That should say nothing you but positive, but what do you say its location gives it constraints . Its a difficult neighborhood. As you mentioned earlier turkey is extremely dependent on russia for its Energy Resources and that constrains turkey greatly, where turkey and russias influence overlaps like the caucasus. Standoff with europe and russia with United States backing the western campaign against russia turkey cant do anything to jeopardize that energy relationship. Same thing when we look at iraq when turkey tries to secure Energy Resources there. You can be in europe or you can be in asia. Turkey for some time turned its direction to europe, theyre a member of nato and there was discussion about them becoming part of the eu. Where does all that stand . Turkey is still a part of nato but turkey is an uncomfortable part of nato. U. S. Wants to recruit turkey into its Alliance Structure as part of this european front against russia but turkey of course has its reservations. It still needs to depend on russia for those energy needs. When it comes to eu membership that is simply not happening. I think turkey has come to terms with it despite public statements. There is no way germany is going to permit an expansion to turkey when it comes to membership. Turkey wants a campaign to become part of an economic agreement between the u. S. And the European Union. As far as deeper political integration into europe that simply isnt happening. Lets talk about the role turkey is playing in the conflict in iraq, in syria even in gaza. How do you accessory th characterize the role turkey has been playing in the middle east . Complex. Turkey opportunity akp has basically adopted barzanis kdp. Were going to take a gamble on the kurds in iraq make them dependent on turkey as their main export route and there will be political is attachments to that. They can convince investors this is way to go, that they can bypass baghdad and export kurdish oil unilaterally. That hasnt quite worked out. Turkey cannot stand up not to just baghtd bu baghdad but as ws iran, because iraq simply isnt broken. That was a false assumption that the turks made. And then youre talking about syria. Turkey and syria were allies, Bashar Alassad and erdogan had a good relationship. Almost sounds like he went from one side all the way to the other side financing and arming the rebels. And that was another example of where turkey really got ahead of itself and made several false assumptions. So turkey wanted to basically adopt a more moderate sunni relationship in model for islam it didnt quite work out that way. Its the more extreme jihadists who are the dominating the battlefield. The alloites held together as we expected. And so turkey doesnt have a strategy for syria any longer. It will eventually have to amake its peace with an alloite regime in damascus. Turkey has a relationship with hamas and its open with that relationship and weve seen turkey tried try to mediate in the crisis along with qatar. How far that goes is a major question, iran has a very robust relationship with hamas and we know that the military relationship there is key. As iran has been a major supplier of the more advanced weaponry that hamas has used to threaten descrealt which has caused of course a number of a number of cyclical conflicts in gaza. So turkey tries oplay more of a Public Relations role in gaza but i think its influence is limited overall. Reva balla. Thank you for joining us. Not stopping an american oil giant from drilling in russias arctic. Why the law of supply and demand doesnt seem to apply when were talking about oil price in america. America. Ve moscow and washington are trading sanctions over the crisis in ukraine but exxon mobil is above the fray. Russian partner rossnef started together in the arctic. Rossneft is the larlgest oil company. But because the deal was inked back in 2011 this deal is moving fill speed ahead. The question is what happens if these sanctions stick around. Russia needs exxons expertise to develop new oil fields. 40 of russias budget comes from the oil sector but more and more oil deposits are being discovered off shore in the arctic. The area is rich with oil deposits but russia needs the facilities like exxon to build the cold weather offshore rigs to extract the resource. David schuster reports. Its a race for riches in the arctic circle. Once a frozen distance today the region is melting at an unprecedented rate. According to the united nations, the polar size ayes cap has retreated 40 and with that comes the access to billions or trillions of untapped resources. The arveght holds nearly a third of undiscovered natural gas and 13 of its crude oil, most of it off shore. In april russia jumped to the head of the race shipping its first tanker of arctic oil just off the russian coast. Shell, chevron and exxon mobil hope to follow spending billions on off shore leases. State owned oil Company Winning a bid to explore the arctic waters off of iceland. But promises more than petroleum. Nickel zinc. A hole host of resources including Renewable Energy such as tidal and wind as well. Also opening new shipping routes. Each summer tourist cruise ships crowd the northwest passage, a once impanel link between the atlantic and pacific. Cargo ships traveling from europe to asia. Russia ep sent its first supertanker through the nsr in 2011. Predicting 30 million ton of goods could attractive the area each year. Despite president putins claims russia is just one of five nations with clear land rights in the arctic. Norway denmark canada and the United States can also claim up to 200 miles off their shores aexclusive economic zones. But beyond that limit the rights to riches beneath the arctic sea is up for grabs. So far, all territorial claims have been settled peacefully, a law of the sea, a treaty the United States shas owners has refused to join. All the world where the jurisdictional lines are. And the bedrock of International Law in oceans management and embarrassingly the United States has not yet joined this treaty. President obama urged congress to ratify law of the sea. Until Congress Approves ratification though many analysts believe the United States will be left on the sidelines as the race for actor acialght resources speeds ahead acialght arctic resources spied ahead. Likely lean on Companies Like exxon to speed ahead thank you for being with us. Thank you for having me. This deal with rossneft, inked in 2011, does russia have the ability to extend it and do more with exxon mobile regardless of sanctions . They have a substantial number of cash on hand, they signed a deal earlier this year with the Chinese National petroleum are corporation and they have a credit line as well. Youre absolutely right, if these sanctions should last more than a few months or two to three years i think rossneft should worry that the operations could take a hit and slow down substantially. There is not anything that would prevent explorers from continuing . Thats true. We are financing and then the technology as well. And as you mentioned were going into the arctic, were going off shore so thats quite a advanced technological needs right there. Companies like exxon or Chinese National Petroleum Corporation comes in. You need to partner on those offshore developments and thats where the tricky operations will come in that rossneft does not have the capabilities to develop arctic abilities themselves. Why does not russia have these abilities . They are the moss available to the arctic. You are absolutely right. But the first offshore development was started last summer by gazprom, and the one further offshore is just a few kilometers offshore. This is about 80 miles offshore. Youre looking for very harsh conditions. You have to build ice hardened areas a time in june and november, where theres not much ice and then in the rest of the year very ice hardened, harsh conditions, negative 30, 40, ice that is six, eight feet thick and so that is very new technology. The issue with respect to the arctic is not just oil and gas. The arctic has become particularly with some melting has become a target for everybody, including the chinese, with no particular arctic claim. Youre absolutely right, its a new frontier and while a lot of the resources have been discovered and in africa and latin america, arctic is the last white spot on the map, the ice is melting and countries have access to resources. One should not underestimate that it is going to be expensive. Often we call it an arctic race but it really is more of a marathon. These are the first steps of venturing into the arctic and it will take many years to get to the resources and develop them responsibly and it accommodation down to financing and oil price are very high and that allows some of those developments to go forward. But if the Oil Price Drops below a certain threshold, Companies May look elsewhere. Executive director of the Arctic Institute in washington, d. C.

The inside story ray suarez hosts inside story weekdays at 5 eastern only on Al Jazeera America welt, police have reported well police have reported and his publicist has confirmed that Robin Williams has died, in marin county. Williams had been battling severe depression. It was reported that he had checked himself into rehabilitation. Robin williams at the age of 63. The ebola crisis has people debating the question of when a Health Crisis becomes an economic crisis. The question is particularly strong after last weeks Washington Summit with washington leaders that resulted with new public and private investments totaling 37 billion between United States and africa. Beside that evening was the growing issue of ebola, an economic issue for guinea, sierra leone and liberia. Former u. S. Ambassador to nigeria, ambassador good to see you, thank you for being with us. Thank you for having me. This is a tricky one. Depending on where you get your news this is early highly containable and okay or this is a pandemic that could possibly get loose and contain and take over the world. Whats the sense of how its playing in africa . Well, africans are deeply concerned. Now the three countries where the disease has rooted itself are all small. Theyre desperately poor. Theyre all recovering from civil wars. Right. The Economic Impact in those three countries has been significant. But i dont think you can say its been significant for the region as a whole. The country in percentage terms its significant but in absolute terms these are not big economies. Exactly. The one we have to watch out is nigeria. Nigeria is a big economy. There is ebola there. Nine or ten cases. The nigerians have been moving very aggressively to contain it. And one hopes that they continue to be successful. However, borders in west africa are very porous. Right. They are very, very difficult to control. Which means the flow of people in and out is not something governments can simply put a stop to. As you set its in nigeria but there are big population centers, the capitol of nigeria is 20 Million People or more. It is indeed yes. And they live many of them packed together in essentially slums. So we have taken this view particularly for those americans who have come here that they can probably treat them in some fashion or at least contain the illness in United States. Oh yes. There is talk between cdc and Health Experts that the dissemination of this is that you could probably contain this, we learned from sars and overt mefs. Can they do this in africa, can they do that if it becomes considerably more difficult than it is . It is considerably harder to do it in africa than here. There are strong cultural inhibitions of the protocols, which is to say quarantine and then tracing ought individuals who came into contact with the person who has become ill. One of the insidious things about ebola is, its spread by contact with bodily fluids. That includes sweep. Right. So if you are weeping the brow of your mother who is dying of ebola you can come down with it. You are also going to be most reluctant to have your mother quarantined away from where you can help care for her. Right. Is there some hope that if it gets to bigger centers, that the ability to impose those protocols is better than it is than the countries that its in right now . You did mention they are recovering from civil war, extremely poor countries, nigeria has its problems but from a scientific and medical sense, more advanced. I also think that in nigeria Public Education programs which they have launched with a vengeance have a greater chance of success than elsewhere. For one thing while there are 350 different languages used in nigeria, there is only one legal language and thats english. Theres a way to get it out. 3there. The council on Foreign Relations is the exchanges from african leaders, in washington they all had to be screened for ebola coming in and out. It was certainly an overhang coming into the conference but they did get deals announced. 37 billion, a watershed for america and africa. Does this have any relationship to that . In other words does ebola threaten any of that . What ebola does is, it casts a cloud over the optimistic news. Now, part of that cloud comes from the disease. But part of that cloud comes from report an of popular reaction to the disease. For example, from sierra leone was quoted of saying, my sister did not die of ebola. Quarantine is unnecessary. She died from witchcraft. Right, so that creates a sense of not being on top of the situation. Thats right. Ambassador good to talk to you. Thank you for being with us. Thank you. A form he u. S.

This is what we do. Al jazeera america. Americas Energy Revolution has created thousands of jobs, billions in revenue and some terrifying accidents. Many of those accidents involve shipment of oil from north dakota am bakken region. Over the last 18 months, dozens of trains have derailed, six led derailments and fires. Some communities are taking matters into their own hands when it comes to monitoring whats traveling through their cities. Theyre forming trainwatching groups. Allen schauffler visited one, in everett, washington. He has this report. Monitoring tracks just a few feet from public buildings. How many people here . 100,000. Reporter when he found nobody could tell him exactly how many of these trains rolled through town he organized volunteers for a week long train watch. Everybody seems to be turning their back on this problem. So we feel that we as citizens have to do it. Reporter they counted 16 oil trains that week carrying an estimated 52 million gallons of crude from the Bakken Oil Fields of north dakota. Just two years ago they might have seen a few oil cars mixed in with other cargo but none of these 100 car unit trains with the 1267 placard denoting bakken crude. The first full loaded train moved in in 2012. This was new for almost the entire country. Acre did he place from the environmental think tank in seattle, sees oils trains as rolling bombs. Like the one that derailed and exploded in quebec a year ago. The accident blamed on human error gutted a town and killed 47 people. Youre looking at 3 million gallons of potentially explosive fuel, it is not something a small town can deal with and something the railroads are not stepping up to deal with. Gus malones says they are stepping up. New sturdier tank cars like this one being phased in. As he speak, an oil train rolls past us through south seattle. Right now theres a demand and we move those products that america demands. Reporter railroads hauling bakken oil have now been ordered by the department of transportation to provide information about how often the big trains run and how much they carry. Many states Like Washington have made that information public over industry objection he. We dont fee objection he. We feel it isnt necessary for customer security. But we do provide it for people who need to know. Dean smith and others are hardly not alone. Encouraging twitter reports on every oil train spotted. The fre forest ethics environmel group. Urban train crossings are growing targets for process pro. He wants to track the numbers they give out and wants the public to have as much information as possible as a matter of safety. And he has a simple message for government, railroads and oil companies. Youve got a real job here to do and if i have to tell you what that is, then okay, ill tell you. But i want you to pay attention. Track side on the train wax allen schauffler, al jazeera, everett, washington. One obvious and safer alternative moving oil by rail is appliance. If you have been following the debate over the xl pipeline, you know that pipelines are not without controversy either. Ill tell you about that in the moment but first the background on keystone xl. In nebraska it would connect with existing pipelines to take it to the u. S. Gulf coast. This is opposed by our environmentalists because the pipeline crosses the border with canada the state department has to determine if it would, quote, serve the National Interest end quote and that includes checking into its environmental impact. Now back to the study. Scientists at the Stockholm Environmental Institute says keystone would increase, four times as much as the state Department Said earlier this year, now whats really interesting because a pipeline doesnt give off any emissions whatsoever. Whats really interesting is how the scientists came to that conclusion. They say the pipeline will potentially boost production from the canadian oil sands, which is probably true, and all the extra oil will reduce price he by about 3 a barrel. Cheaper oil prices the study argues will increase Oil Consumption and boost pollution. You got that . All right. Stephen lee is the founder of financial analyst lead group, he doesnt buy that. He says finding and producing more oil will not lead to more consumption. I should say he is the author of being books on the economy and an comiflt and investor and oil expert. Stephen i dont buy this theory either. Lets show you the chart about production and consumption. We have producing and production has been decreasing. Its hard to see but how much we have scoormd has been going down since 2004 and the amount we produce has been largely going up. Right. I mean you cant really convince me this is true since im paying over fowrd to get from here 4 to get from here to connect. The reason this is happening ali is it takes a lot of energy now omake energy. All the easy energy basically has been taken. The stuff where you can drill hole into the ground. And oil comes out. We just talked about oil in the actor and rossneft. And the extreme. If you want to picture yourself on a little island, a certain amount of iron ore, certain number of people, certain amount of water and you need all these resources to produce energy, what are you going to do . Thats it, game over, because its nothin to do with the ener. The Energy Production sounds great when you are living in north dakota. But if you magnify that, its going otake more and more resources to produce it. Our consumption is going down, were producing it because were going osel to sell it . We need the extra energy that were actually producing, were using Additional Energy oproduce it. To produce it. In other words if we were using the same amount of energy in 2003 this would be all the way down here. Were not using this extra energy for sake of the consumer, were using it for sake of the oil industry. For instance the oil sands in alberta. Oil trapped inside of soil. In order to get it out you need hot water and steam natural gas to create it. Exactly. All these resources, natural gas, people, other products to get it out. The pipeline to get it out. What else could we do with that money . A lot of good things. In this country, we front pload everything. We want these rail cars of oil right now. Thears on the west coast, we want them on the east coast. It has to be now. The chinese on the other hand have a different philosophy which people i think miss. They back load things. Right now theyre building out a smart grid. Theyre wrilg to spend a trillion dollars without getting any return because they know in ten years that mart grid will be able to accommodate solar, wind, geothermal, oil, gas, coal, what have you all into one mix and we dont do that. Another thing when you look at renewable energies, wind. Youll have to spend millions of dollars to create a 5 megawatt turbine. Those millions have to be spent before you get any of the energy. But once the Energy Starts it doesnt stop displp its free from then on. Its free but were unwilling to put the money up to begin with. Its all the same thing. This comes down to an infrastructure problem. It does, it does. Its circa 19th century. Well have a grid had a gave us a blackout a decade ago. Yes, ed i. T. Wharton used Edith Wharton used some of this energy from this grid. Its insane. An author of many books on energy. Thank you. Where you live, how far you have to drive, thats the upshot of a new study by bank rate that ranks the cost of car ownership in all 50 states based not just on gas prices but also on insurance and repair costs. The National Average to run a car is 2223. This by the way has nothing to do with actually paying the car. This is all the stuff you have to do with it and the gas you have to put in it. Wyoming is the most deceptive mainly because wyoming drivers have to travel longer distances than people in other states boosting the fuel they school. Louisiana has the second highest, florida has the third highest. Other side of the spectrum, iowa is the cheaps, 1942, partly to having the lowest Car Insurance rates in the country. Ohio and illinois is the third cheapest in the country. All right, how some out of work americans are forced to become more creative. The Artisan Community thats helping to create middle class jobs. This, is what we do. Al jazeera america. I talked at length last week about the new normal economy and how the rules of the economic game have changed, especially since the great recession. The reasons called technological advances that have been going on for years. A shortage of good middle class jobs as a result of that and companies that continue to cost jobs and costs in response. Its a circle. Some young people are turning their backs on Corporate America and helping fuel what some labor experts are saying will be a reemergence of artisans as an economic force. These mo modern day art distance are crafting a new technology. We took a look at where one of the largest of these conjugate. Congress pfizer now houses 100 smalle. Businesses that represent a growing movement throughout the country called the artisan economy. What weve seen with this movement is that theres a harder more difficult job market today. For younger people. And i think its forcing them to be a little more creative with what they do with their career. The decline of traditional middle class jobs and high unemployment rates of Young Americans is fueling budding Small Business industry thats sparked by a creative entrepreneurial spirit and social consciousness. We met with four groups here that represent the new artisan economy, kristin left the real estate business in 2009. I first started out make i made a small line of furniture. My favorite part about actually making this stuff is being able to set the pace. The pace. At good eggs is a little more hectic. Josh handles about 400 orders a week. The customer places an order online. Those orders are relayed to local farmers. And then they bring them to us. Weve already routed out all of the days orders so each of those lines represents a delivery route. What good eggs isnt delivering here yet is profit. Right now were very much still a startup. So were really looking at metrics like how quickly were growing. Weve been able to grow since last november at a rate of about 5 a week. Economists say the new artisan economy will eventually impact the u. S. Economy by creating new jobs to replace those lost in mass production and middle management. Located two floors above good eggs is found my animal. We designed all our package to have literature why its important to rescue your animal. I wanted to figure out a way to make an accessory that could help an awareness of rescuing animals. Own ar areowner bethanys hag collars. On the same floor as found my animal, tims become a reality as well. I left American Express just before the Financial Institutions crashed in 2008. He became aware cocoa was a major export but very little chocolate was produced there. We found agreat inequality of the country producing the crop and the country producing the chocolate, that more than anything explained the reason why there was such inequality throughout world. They partnered with a company where their product is manufactured employing over 200 locals. Weve grown revenue 40 to 50 every year since we started so by that reason we do well, but our major reason is to make social impact. The new artisan economy will show rapt groad and attract talent with highly competitive compensation. Brooklyn is not the only area where the artisan economy is growing. Charlotte hyatt was so inspired he decided to study them and he says this is not about the sales of irrelevant cute things. His observations resulted in a book. Charles, i got to tell you, if id have to guess i would guess the guy was somewhere from the Pacific Northwest and yes, i was beginning owonder whether this is about irrelevant cute things. Tell me why my assumptions, im obviously exaggerating a little bit tell me why theyre wrong. Theyre basically wrong because we have long standing businesses in the artisan economy that are creating 100 Million Dollar rrve revenues in economy. I can mention a few, revenues over 109 million a year. We have bulls eyeglass, it employs about 125 people, 45 million a year revenue. These are not small companies. Artisan brewing in portland is worth about 500 million a year. These are not Small Businesses. A theyre not install, b in our story that dwarte did, they did not strike me as artisanal but socially conscious. How do you define the economy . Local, hand made, there is a craft orientation, a lawsuit of autonomy, and the ability to create their own product, to create their own businesses, to follow their interests and passions, its all about different relationship with the people who buy their products, more about appreciation than consumption. If you look back at the industrial economy youre looking at things that need to be schools but when you look at the artisan economy these products theyre producing are things that you appreciate, you have a narrative with them, the narrative between patron or what i call the consumer. The work life is changing this idea that we separate the social and the production part of the economy. Thats changing a great deal the idea of in other words theres less separation in the artisan economy between production and life . Yeah, the connection between your work life and your social life, is becoming the very blurred boundaries now. And then you pointed out the socially conscious nature, this idea that we want to theres a chain of accountability between what is produced and who is producing it. And the connection to that patron in the end. Its interesting you use the word patron. Patrons have existed ought through history. In some cases theyre wealthy because they could find somebody to custom make their cars, boats, whatever the case is. This is ability to did that on a much smaller scale. The customization, the idea that this is prowbsed for you not produced for you not in a factory. Great Grand Central bakery is producing custom made bread, not large numbers of bread of loaves being produced but produced in really high quality and theyre selling to consumers like regular people like myself and other people. And their prices if you really look at them are not all that different. I did ant interesting look in my book in the introduction. I went to this cafe with my granddaughter, called petite province, we ordered possess toe basil eggs and pla phelan flan t afterwards. I went to check on the prices to see if that would compare to a Fast Food Restaurant and what i found was basically the prices were not all that different. They were producing for people that were ordinary people, its that now we have this huge selection of really distinct and unique products in portland and other places like brooklyn where we dont need to just go to a starbucks anymore, we can go to the 20 or 30 different kinds of different kinds of coffee brewers that are working around here in coffee shops. Hundreds of coffee shops. You have shamed me charles about my misconceptions my preconceptions. Charles highings is professor at Portland States and is author of brew to bikes. Artisan economy.

Coming up right after real money, whos in charge in iraq, Nouri Almaliki, who says he wont step down. U. S. And iraq unintended consequences. Plus sad news from california. The death of Robin Williams. Well take back at the look at the laughs and his celebrated acting career. All coming up right after real money. We learned today that United States Postal Service service lost another 3 billion in the three months ending june, thats after losing taxpayers 1. 9 billion in the First Quarter of the year. Despite higher revenues from package shipments and emergency price like that took effect in january. We all know the Postal Service has run into hard times with email and all things digital. But thats not the thing that is doing the Postal Service in, the cost of its workforce. The Postal Service owes 100 billion on payment to workers past and present. What needs t to be done is to legislate and overhaul the gargantuan financial burden. In the meantime, Postal Service wants to cut back on other ways, cut back on saturday deliveries, theres a strong lobby against that, and the other option is to cash on on the Online Shopping craze by the shipping business. But congress will need the act and dont hold your breath for that. That is our show today, im ali velshi and thank you for joining us. Hi everyone, this is Al Jazeera America.
