BBC World Service - Newshour, Opposition ahead in Turkish local elections

Republican People's Party set to win mayoral elections in Ankara and Istanbul

Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party is on course to hold key positions in major cities, in municipal elections across the country. With more than half the votes counted, the opposition was on course for its strongest ever showing in local and mayoral contests. We'll bring you the latest from Istanbul. 

Also in the programme: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he'll do everything in his power to get hostages in Gaza home, as major protests take place in Jerusalem; and investigators say one of the world's most wanted men has been leaving Google reviews on the internet.
