In Turkey, the party of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has regained its parliamentary majority in national elections. On Sunday, Turkish voters elected Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party—the AKP—to 330 of the Parliament’s 550 seats.

The victory will help Erdogan strengthen a hold on power critics say has become increasingly authoritarian and divisive. We’ll go to Turkey for more from journalist Patrick Cockburn later in the broadcast.
