On the way loads of that historic Turkish restaurant Also coming up the next hour for Koreans to see the standoff between Donald Trump and control of the business of death in Arkansas Why is the American state is trying to execute 8 prisoners in 10 days and big business news as well as for the country about the future of London's financial center those bricks Let's start this part of news today with our main story though the Turkish president earlier and says he'll press ahead with constitutional changes approved in yesterday's referendum which could keep him in power for another 12 years was a narrow victory just over 51 percent of people who voted backing his plans to substantially increase the powers of the presidency governs in Turkey for us what's the mood then you are well I think it's really morning and people are trying to digest exactly what has happened the night before why don't I bring you to last night I went down to Texan Square it's about 10 minutes from here people will know it from protests that have taken place in Turkey over the past few years very quiet at 1st they seem to more media then people will just once the results began coming in it all changed let's assume. We are growing and everything I mean you see. You tomorrow maybe after tomorrow what if somebody people die for referendum for say You know my mom is from his job or go my dad to it's now is leaving the advocate now I'm so scared because we have a dictator really there you know it's 15 years since. He had the stage Turkey is a prison in Turkey might be good because we have Victoria Yeah it's just people to Doesn't matter how much we really is through but it is a very proud of the proposal that we have hope for peace he's working cattle. And that is good for her to be I'm happy here on the US Yes I'm happy. Because of yes because I love my president because I love is from my heart you know . Really something I have to say the love inspired by half of the people I think it is when we look at our 5149 and result for the president when he now has expanded powers not a flavor of what was happening on the streets here I want to bring you a little bit though of the opposition they have been vocal since that result has begun to come through I will say it's not an official result will be $11.00 to $12.00 days time but this is what is projected. Let's take a look or a listen should I say Professor Moustapha AK I didn't He was an M.P. For the C.H.P. Which is an opposition party. Reaction this was absolutely and unfair campaign in Turkey there are a lot of defective vote in this election it is accepted to be at least about one and a half 1000000 was defective fault it's full of scandals according to the higher election no consul of Turkey all the ballots in the law who have seals stamped but today just during the election the council dictate that although there are no seals or stamps on the envelope it should be accepted so this is like you're having a football match at the 85th minute all the rules are changed this is our main objection and our part you object to the action or cancel and we'll wait the result and the council or the committee should decide in 48 hours probably they will decide this is fairly done because there's not democracy in Turkey and after that I don't know what happens but probably we'll go to the European Human Rights judiciary. Well Turkey's electoral board did declare the yes camp wins the referendum but with me is Haroon our money PARTY MEMBER Good to have you with us a renewed a late night last night yes I was actually I was in I was up in the morning it was following the news and I was giving some interviews Well what about this this is the opposition not the 1st voice I've heard that says they're going to continue to fight it they feel it was illegitimate they're talking about a 1000000 votes which actually would be the difference between a win or a loss for Mr Earth one are you taking these claims seriously let me 1st take to both the yes and no campaigns because I think Turkish people have just proved another time how much they are tied to democracy because just a few months after a failed coup attempt to Cuba's able to carry out a free and fair elections and the participation was very high for I think that's important regarding your question I think the prophets are does know that there are election article the law about 20298 there which clearly states that if if if if these times are missing because of the mistake of ballots officers at the ballot stations the count to voters will the water shouldn't be affected from this because it's a mistake of the officers of the investigation will be happening with those votes but because of because there is no there is no proof that it's actually fraud that it will be counted otherwise the people's right to vote or to write to tend to the democracy will be affected so it was a very narrow window Rice 49 sorry excuse me 5149 does that concern you that there are so many people in this country that didn't want this change to the Constitution and for Mr urge want to have more power well does the opposite is that a continuous process that doesn't stop and this is a good thing about democracy at all just like you. I've seen in Brett's that sometimes the competition is tight sometimes different things LOL But this is democracy and we should respect people's decisions were you surprised that Mr Archer wanted not Schwinn is Stamboul the city where he gave both speeches last night and where he grew up here but let's let's make it fair let's make it said 1st that this is not a president out on election it is not a party election maybe some some supporters of 100 or more probably yes campaign therefore we can't know there's a referendum and it passed yes this is the thing which is more important now but people would say it is about Mr urge won that is definitely the thing that was at the center of anybody I spoke to whether it was a yes or a no and some are criticizing him for not making a call for unity in this country last night that it was too aggressive about a victory Well he he made a very he made actually uniting speech and he made he made a distribution he distributed the press legal so it was very uniting and Prime Minister made similar to preach and I think just now we need to move want. To work hard because the referendum result will be effective in 2019 although if the opposition has their way as we're hearing they will fight they will continue want to see him and he or the other opposition parties that work together so let's wait and see what happens I would arm and make a party member speaking to news day in Istanbul on the morning after that referendum much more from Turkey on the way 13 past the hour the American vice president Mike Pence is at a U.S. Military base in South Korea next to the demilitarized zone dividing the country from the north we'll hear what his message is to South Korea in the water world shortly because he's about to give a news conference that just dusting off the lectern is unfurling the flag will bring that to you live here on news though shortly thereafter the photo op of course the standard one of him being photographed looking north North Koreans looking south them across the militarized zone Mr Pence has described the alliance with South Korea as no. Shakable bond between our people his own father fought with the American or to be more accurate United Nations troops during the Korean War But how strong is that gone Jason Strother is freelance journalist based in Seoul the capital of South Korea South Koreans broadly reassured by America's position on this visit Well you know this is all par for the course here in South Korea I mean almost every year in North Korea goes on this type of rampage word makes threats to turn soul into a sea of fire but I have to say in the years that I've covered the tensions here on the peninsula North Korea hasn't really directed into anger at the South Korean public this time around and I think many South Koreans are looking toward the Trump administration for the reason behind the raising of these tensions recently is that a significant change and how does that how's that going to play in the future we have to remember South Koreans have lived under the barrel you know for decades on on any given day North Korea has you know you conventional artillery pointed at the South Korean capital so it's just the reality that most people here have learned to live with but with the increased rhetoric coming from Washington with Trump and as well as the vice president Mike Pence saying that all options are on the table and the administration threatening to use force against North Korea if it were to conduct an I.C.B.M. Test or a nuclear test you know that's a stark difference than what the Obama administration let's say was was advocating and I think South Koreans that's kind of perked up their attention the policy of strategic patience I think Mr Pence was almost kind of sort of reading its last rights saying Well that hasn't worked we need something else is there a broad kind of opinion in South Korea that says Well actually yes he has a point or do they want. Just to carry on as they are if they could there are certainly some people here in South Korea that would have liked to have seen America launch a preemptive strike against North Korea there are let's say South Korea's old guard they are pensioners they're very staunchly conservative their advocate there are they are supporters of the impeach President pop going to say they want to a very close relationship with the U.S. And the U.S. Military even and demonstrate in their demonstrations in favor of keeping President pock in power earlier this year alongside you know they're waving Korean flags they're also waving American flags they're America's biggest supporters here but according to public opinion polls many younger South Koreans are getting weary about the U.S. Is engaged me here Jason Strother if there's anything that comes out of that process we will bring it to you on the program you're listening to these say with Lawrence what I'm doing here on the B.B.C. World Service main stories Turkey's opposition policies questioning the legitimacy of Sunday's constitutional referendum which was narrowly won by President and when he says the swift implementation of the changes which will give the president sweeping powers could keep him in power until 2029 B.C. Day in the English Premier League his Kristen Yeah the Chelsea boss Antonia cunto says he sides title chances have been reduced to 50 percent probability after a defeat by men to see not only on Sunday now the Premier League late is 10 points clear at the start of the month and now just 4 points ahead of Tottenham with 6 games to play following a 2 no loss at Old Trafford a jazz in their a no on the other hand praised his play is who have a renewed energy as the chase for the Champions League qualification spot what's up best day is home game with little in front was abandoned after half time off to supporters twice in feted the pitch and the tech the visiting players on Sunday. It was a hardcore section of fans targeting Leon's players as a woman before the game causing it to be delayed by more than 450 minutes and then again as the 2 sides went in for the break with the score at nil nil now the little coach Bruno Geneseo reportedly told the club president John Misha in the corridors of the stadium we must stop we must stop they hit the players we're not going to war of course this is the 2nd time in what a few days that Leo have been involved in some pretty ugly Saints need to understand Bruno Janessa he's just had enough of it. Thank you Kirsten more from Kirsten in about 20 minutes time Lloyds Banking Group says that it's decided to set up a European base in Germany after the U.K. Leaves the E.U. Is this the beginning of a flood Philip Hampshire is here on the business desk I mean I mentioned the U.K. 8 leaving the E.U. This is specifically and explicitly a breakfast thing is that this is specifically and explicitly a break sit thing the B.B.C. Now understands that stories that were emerging over the weekend that Lloyds Banking Group was looking at setting up we knew they were looking at setting up a European in their headquarters we didn't know exactly where they have now picked Berlin so they're heading over there they're going to work expand not open expand an existing office that currently has 300 staff over there and pool their resources in Berlin not Frankfurt which is usually seen as the financial capital in Exactly and that's one of the most curious things here with the if you like post BRICS trade there have been a lot of European Union countries floating around the city of London town ting their wares as it were attempting to get British loans to relocate or if not fully relocate them at least open up a European Union office on the inside and there are many possible candidates for that Paris leaps immediately to mind Frankfurt financial hub of Germany Amsterdam it's generally a very nice place to live and if you want to get bankers to go move somewhere particularly from the city of London where they have Opera and everything at their disposal you might want them to go or move to a town like that's one of the reasons the Frankfurt incidentally hasn't done quite so well as you might have dissipate because of course it doesn't have quite the same backdrop as either Paris or Abscam or in this case Berlin interesting lifestyle sell now is this is the 1st of what was expected to be a I mean there's been so much chatter about this here's a result do we think that Berlin is willing that BRICS it race and others are going to follow it would appear so well actually as several of the other companies that have been out there. Looking at places to move do seem to be plumping for Berlin that's not news it is big news particularly Berlin can continue to make this work across the span of things because of course there is a clustering effective one set of banks because move over there if not only Lloyds Banking Group but also choice of London the reinsurance market also looks to move then that's going to take things with them curiously enough though Luxemburg does isn't featuring on anybody's list of what works as low taxes there would that be a good place to go it would be a good place to go but again it just doesn't seem to be featuring high on anybody's list not enough opera that's my fearing anyway bankers I love a bit of opera thank you very much Philip Hampshire with the business 21 minutes past the hour a judge in the state of Arkansas has halted the execution of 8 prisoners in 10 days less than 72 hours before they were due to begin the state's governor wanted to make sure the executions took place before the stocks of lethal injection drugs RAM elts pharmacies who company now says it doesn't want its products used to kill people North America correspondent Paul reports from Little Rock. Like I'm living in the twilight. Leadbelly was speaking to me from death row last week he was told he would be executed on the 20th of April 1 of 8 execution shed in Arkansas in 10 days are here today to try to keep this from killing people. Who have been protests over the state's decision to rush through as many executions as possible before one of the lethal injection drugs used expires at the end of April it's a drug that elsewhere in the states sometimes lead to botched prolonged torturous execution procedures it don't matter if I suffer a little bit. Because suffer big time James Phillips wife Mary was raped tortured and strangled to death by a man named Jack Jones who's also among the group put forward to be executed this month and I can protest all you want no matter why do you want this excuse to go. One of the arguments against the death penalty is the possibility an innocent person could be executed Amnesty International among other groups raised concerns over the case of Leadbelly one of those named by Arkansas for execution saying there's evidence he did not have a fair trial he's accused of bludgeoning to death a woman named Deborah Reese but has always insisted he's innocent I'm sorry I have come to terms with this very trying to take my life because I have not ever come to terms if I have to go I have no choice but to go even if even if I go fighting you know there is no way that I can almost stop them from forcibly taking me in strapping me to a gurney and you know door whatever it is you know they are trying to do. Me. I'm innocent of the 11th hour a judge has halted the executions saying a pharmaceutical company that produces one of the lethal injection drugs protested when it found out its medicine was used to kill people and the state had promised to return the drug it bought but never did. Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge is filing an emergency motion with the state's supreme court to try to ensure the execution still go ahead it's important to carry out these executions because the families of these victims have waited for decades even to see the Senate's is being carried out the individuals the prisoners who are sitting on death row now have scheduled executions are remarkable April committed horrific heinous acts it's my job as attorney general to ensure that justice is in fact very now a correspondent Paul in Arkansas. No McGovern with you in Istanbul the morning after the bike for which was the referendum called the most significant event in this nation's recent history even from the founding of the nation since the fall of the Ottoman Empire grand words indeed but I have to say most people I meet agree with us it's the only thing that the country appears to agree on let's bring in board a zoo there a guy he who is Buzz Feed Middle East correspondent in is stumble the line that you would use to describe today I think it's the worst case scenario of all the possible outcomes why. I think that if there was a decisive win by the camp it would have at least given the opposition the assurance that they had lost fair and square even if there was a bit of hanky panky throughout the campaign even if there had been questions about the validity of the vote if it had been a decisive no vote it would have given the president reject a real lesson and it would have showed him that the people do not support his agenda but this very very close vote creates problems for both sides it creates insecurities and doubts on both sides So let's recap on the state of play as it stands 51 percent yes 49 percent know the official results coming in $11.00 to $12.00 days but Mr Hurd won did come out and gave to victory speeches last night Prime Minister did to create the balcony speech which is kind of a vaunted position even though he's going to be out of a job with these new powers for Mr Arijit one very unusual scenario but what is your fear I can tell from speaking to people on the streets that are completely divided on its replications across the country polarized even. Was concerns you most about this result that the opposition won't accept it that those who oppose the ones agenda will not accept the rather drastic changes to the government there is already an armed insurgency by the Kurds in the country's south east and there are rumblings of severe dissent on the part of even secular and liberal Turks who just do not accept this and at this point have serious qualms about the validity of the campaign and the vote OK some of the voices that we've heard this morning if you've been with me on NEWS DAY We've heard 2 opposition voices at that have said they will challenge this that they'll go. All the way to protest we've also had an A K party member that is Mr urged once Party saying this is democracy even if it's 51 percent it is a majority and didn't seem to perturb by those challenges. The C.H.P. And the
