Will Turkey's Election Produce a Surprise? | Inside Story
For the first time presidential and parliamentary votes take place on the same day. There are six candidates for president. If no one wins more than 50 percent of the vote in Sunday's poll, the top two will be involved in a run-off. And whoever becomes president will be assuming enhanced powers approved in a referendum last year.
These are not easy times. Turkey's been in a state of emergency since a failed coup attempt in 2016 and the economy is in crisis. So could there be a surprise? And what would that mean for Turkey's future?
Presenter: Martine Dennis | Guests Muhittin Ataman - Editor of Insight Turkey and Director of the SETA Think Tank Education and Social Policy; Fadi Hakura - Associate Fellow in the Europe Programme at Chatham House; Ozgur Ozdamar - Professor in the Depatment of International Relations at Bilkent University

James Comey Interview on Trump, Russia, Hillary Clinton and the USA’s Border Policy
After Trump took office in 2017 Comey says the President sought to win over and influence him and his inquiry into possible Russian interference in the 2016 election. Comey says he refused, and he was later fired by Donald Trump - an event which sparked the appointment Special Counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into links with Russia.

Caliph Donald Trump and the Rise of the Christian Taliban
No, he's not talking about so-called jihadists or Islamists, or to “creeping Sharia.” Mehdi is referring to what he like to call the “Christian Taliban” — those Bible-thumping fundamentalists who are bent on theocratizing the U.S. government.
There's the attorney general of the United States, Mullah Jeff Sessions, who wants Sharia law, but of the biblical variety. And there's Mullah Ted Cruz, who calls himself a Christian first and an American second.
As in the Middle East, to really politicize religion, you need a bunch of politicized clerics. Caliph Donald Trump can call on some of America’s finest to make the case for Christian supremacism.
Mullah Robert Jeffress said God gave Trump the authority to “take out” Kim Jong-un. Mullah Jim Bakker says we have to “obey” Trump because God “had him elected.”
If that isn’t the language of theocracy, of zealotry, then what is?

What Is behind US Decision to Abandon UN Human Rights Council? | Inside Story
The United States has long had a conflicting relationship with the UNHRC and says it has to be reformed. President Trump has recently faced widespread, and vociferous condemnation for his zero tolerance immigration policy, that's separating children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
So, how will this decision impact the global fight to protect human rights? And will this further isolate the U.S. on the world Stage?

Who Wants Migrants Rescued from the Mediterranean Sea? | Inside Story
After much debate, the new Spanish government allowed the charity ship Aquarius and two other vessels to dock in Valencia. Anti-immigration sentiment has increased in Europe with right-wing parties who want tougher rules making gains in Austria, Germany and Italy.
There is widespread agreement that the EU needs to overhaul asylum and immigration laws, but disagreement on how. An EU summit is due to discuss new rules in Brussels at the end of this month. Can they overcome their deep divisions?

Britain Should Not Have Fought in the First World War
The First World War is not called the Great War for nothing. It was the single most decisive event in modern history, as well as one of the bloodiest: by the time the war ended, some nine million soldiers had been killed. It was also a historical full stop, marking the definitive end of the Victorian era and the advent of a new age of uncertainty. By 1918, the old order had fallen: the Bolsheviks had seized power in Russia; the German, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires had been destroyed; and even the victorious Allied powers had suffered devastating losses. It was supposed to be the war to end all wars. And yet barely two decades later, the world was again plunged into conflict. Little wonder then that historians still cannot agree whether Britain's engagement was worth it.
For some, the war was a vitally important crusade against Prussian militarism. Had we stayed out, they argue, the result would have been an oppressive German-dominated Europe, leaving the British Empire isolated and doomed to decline. And by fighting to save Belgium, Britain stood up for principle: the right of a small nation to resist its overbearing neighbours.
For others, the war was a catastrophic mistake, fought at a catastrophic human cost. It brought Communism to power in Russia, ripped up the map of Europe and left a festering sense of resentment that would fuel the rise of Nazism. We often forget that, even a few days before Britain entered the war, it seemed likely that we would stay out. H. H. Asquith's decision to intervene changed the course of history. But was it the right one?

Will the Singapore Summit Be the Beginning of a New Era? | Inside Story
They held a 40-minute meeting, followed by a signing of a joint statement in which they agreed to the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula. But it was a document vague in detail and lacking a time frame. So, what will the North Korean leader get in return for agreeing to 'denuclearise'?
Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra | Guests: Scott Snyder - Senior Fellow for Korea Studies and Director of the Program on US-Korea Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations; Tai Wei Lim - Adjunct Research Fellow for the East Asian Institute at the National University of Singapore; Victor Gao - Director of the China National Association of International Studies
Macedonia: What Is in a Name? | Inside Story
Thousands of people in both countries took to the streets to protest against a deal they say is tantamount to a humiliating defeat. A far-right Greek newspaper went so far as to run a front-page graphic - showing Greece's prime minister, foreign minister and president being shot by firing squad for treason.
Between the end of World War Two and the early 1990s, Macedonia was one of six republics comprising the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It declared independence in 1991 under the name -- the Republic of Macedonia. Greece immediately opposed it, seeing it as a veiled challenge to Greek sovereignty over its northern province that's also called Macedonia.

Is Dubai a Money-laundering Hub? | Inside Story
It is one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates… an absolute monarchy long ruled by the Al Maktoum family.
The rapid development of the city has made it one of the fastest growing economies in the world. But the Washington-based Center for Advanced Defense Studies has obtained leaked property data from the city state. And it is found that those who make money out of wars, who finance terror, or are involved in drug-trafficking use Dubai’s real-estate market as a haven for money-laundering.
