This vote comes against the background of soaring inflation and the aftermath of devastating earthquakes

Analysts have said that Kılıçdaroğlu, who has high relatively levels of support in some of Turkey’s biggest cities, is likely to trail in early results but should pull back as more results come in.

Vote shares stand at 54.6% for Erdoğan and 39.4% for Kılıçdaroğlu, with Ogan on 5.5%. Again, many Kılıçdaroğlu’s votes are note expected to be reported until much later in the evening.

Wonder if Erdogan will use Trump playbook if he grt overtaken?

Pretty much guarenteed, they all do it now lol.

First time I think it happened on national level was when Nixon lost to JFK.

Then it wasn't an issue till Election 2000, Kerry briefly considered it in 2004 and then Trump just went wild with it.

According to the Anadolu state news agency, which the opposition has accused of deliberately releasing results to show the outgoing president ahead, the count with nearly 53% of votes tallied stands at:

Erdoğan : 51.8%

Kılıçdaroğlu : 42.3%

Ogan: 5.3%

According to Lightoller's testimony, he and Smith discussed the situation considering ice around 9ish before Smith left. Smith told Lightoller that he was to be contacted immediately if any change happened in terms of a haze. Apparently, the ship would have been slowed down considerably had a haze developed because a haze was well known for obscuring sight and misrepresenting horizons and the like which is very dangerous in an area with icebergs.

They knew the potential danger and risk but they never had any history to go on to warn them what all these factors meant if they were in play all at once. It is unconceivable for a crew at sea in 1912 to be coming up with responses to all these events and factors together, i.e., an black iceberg, no moon, clear weather conditions, a very calm sea, no haze, no wind, etc..because it was so rare. Lightoller said he never ever saw a sea that was that calm. Lightoller said in his experience that there was always some kind of swell in the sea.

I don't think it was arrogance, it was the natural assumption and calculation that these factors weren't dangerous because no known ship in history had encountered danger under these conditions.

The top row has a cheese mousse and orange mousse cake for Jessie, a caramel whipped cream and coffee sponge sandwich cake as Bullseye, and a chocolate chip whipped cream representing Woody.

The middle row starts with Zurg as a blueberry mousse cake on the left, then in the very centre of the set up is a Space Ranger logo on a chocolate custard and chocolate mousse tart. Then Buzz Lightyear himself is a cheese mousse cake.

What's happened so far?

More than 12 hours after the polls closed in Turkey and with more than 90% of the vote counted, the presidential election result is still not clear.

Preliminary results show neither President Recep Tayyip Erdogan nor his main rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu appear to have secured the majority of votes needed to win

Final results haven't been released, but a run-off vote appears likely

Erdogan - who has held power since 2002 - is ahead with 49.49% of the vote and has told his AK Party supporters he believes he can still win outright

Meanwhile Kilicdaroglu - who has collected 44.79% so far - has vowed to win the election in a second round

However the AK Party's alliance is expected to form a majority in parliament

It is Turkey's tightest election in years, and comes as the country grapples with high inflation and recovers from devastating earthquakes earlier this year.

National League general manager Mark Ives says introducing 'three up, three down' promotion to the English Football League is the "fairest" way forward.

Notts County were three minutes away from failing to secure promotion to League Two despite reaching 107 points and scoring 117 goals this season.

Notts eventually went up after beating Chesterfield in a penalty shootout at the end of their promotion final.

"How can we not have three up?" Ives told BBC Sport.

"It's simply the fairest thing to do. At the moment there is only two but there are four going up from League Two into League One."

The sustem in Italy used to be top 2 promote then 3-6 playoff

But if 3rd place is 10pts> above 4th then they r auto promote with no playoffs

Sea chests? Done. Safes? Cracked. Deluxe, master-class lockboxes with fifteen different mechanisms and an explosive security system? There better be a big cheese payoff, but, yeah, the Lockpick can do them, too. It can also spring trap mechanisms ahead of time, leaving the cheese ripe for the taking.

I think they are still reeling from how close Notts County came to not going up despite 100+ points.

Royal Mail is facing an investigation by the industry watchdog after it failed to meet its delivery targets over the past year.

Ofcom said it would consider whether any "exceptional events" explained why Royal Mail fell short.

But if there were no "satisfactory explanation", the regulator said it would consider imposing a fine.

The postal service delivered only 73.7% of First Class mail within a day - far short of the 93% target.

Ofcom said the impact of Covid was no longer "an excuse for poor delivery performance".

If Royal Mail is fined, it would be its second penalty since 2019 when it paid out £1.5m for failing to deliver first class letters on time.

A Quality of Service report from Royal Mail also showed it delivered only 90.7% of second class mail within three days, below a target of 98.5%.

A spokesperson for Royal Mail said it was "disappointed" with its performance, adding: "We will participate fully with any Ofcom's investigation."

Landlords would be banned from evicting tenants with no justification as part of a long-promised overhaul of the private rental sector in England.

A new law to be tabled in Parliament would abolish no-fault evictions and end bans on tenants claiming benefits.

The bill would also make it easier for landlords to repossess properties from anti-social tenants.

Housing campaigners said the bill was a "huge opportunity" to improve the lives of the 11 million renters in England.

Under the new law, tenants would be given the legal right to request a pet in their home, which the landlord cannot unreasonably refuse.

The law would also make it illegal for a landlord to refuse tenancies to families with children, or those in receipt of benefits.

Official figures to be released next week are expected to show net migration of between 650,000 and 997,000 in 2022.

The Titanic has been extensively explored since the wreck was discovered in 1985. But it's so huge that in the gloom of the deep, cameras can only ever show us tantalizing snapshots of the decaying ship - never the whole thing.
