Show Notes

Turkey's President Erdogan is set to stretch his rule into a third decade.

Unofficial results in the election run-off show him with about 53 percent of the vote, while opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu has 47 percent.

Europe correspondent Gavin Grey told Roman Travers that it's not beyond doubt, but Erdogan supporters have already begun celebrating.

He says he's been in power for more than two decades and has seen the country's economy sharply decline recently.
