Turkey's President Erdogan Re-Elected

BBC World Service - Newshour, Turkey's President Erdogan Re-Elected

Erdogan hails "democratic revolution", despite criticism from some that poll was "unfair"

Turkey's long-standing leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won a new five-year term after securing outright victory in the first round of a presidential poll. But his main opponent has criticised the election saying it was "unfair". Razia Iqbal has extended coverage from Istanbul.

Also in the programme: traders at Tehran's Grand Bazaar protest against rising prices and a plummeting currency; Harley Davidson announces its EU-bound motorcycles will no longer be made in the USA as trade tensions escalate; and we're with migrants sailing on the Mediterranean Sea.
