Turkey presidential election decides if Erdogan should have five more years
ANKARA — Turks are voting in a momentous presidential run-off to decide whether or not Recep Tayyip Erdogan should remain in power after 20 years.His challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu, backed by a broad opposition alliance, called on voters to come out and “get rid of an authoritarian regime”.The president, who is favorite to win, promises a new era uniting the country around a “Turkish century”. But the more pressing issue is rampant inflation and a cost-of-living crisis.Voters have nine hours to cast their ballots before 17:00 (14:00 GMT) and many were already waiting outside a polling station in central Ankara before the doors opened.One woman of 80 had set her alarm for 05:00 to be sure of arriving on time.Turnout in the first round was an impressive 88.8%, and Erdogan’s lead...

UNESCO unveils new AI road map for classrooms
GENEVA — The UN convened the first ever global meeting with education ministers from around the world to explore risks and rewards of using chatbots in classrooms, announcing on Friday a new roadmap to chart a safer digital path for all.Less than 10 percent of schools and universities follow formal guidance on using wildly popular artificial intelligence (AI) tools, like the chatbot software ChatGPT, according to the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which hosted more than 40 ministers at an groundbreaking online meeting on Thursday.The ministers exchanged policy approaches and plans while considering the agency’s new road map on education and generative AI, which can create data and content based on existing algorithms, but can also make alarming factual...

Stop tobacco farming, grow food instead, says WHO
GENEVA — With hunger spreading worldwide and tobacco responsible for eight million deaths each year, countries should stop subsidizing tobacco crops and help farmers grow food, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.Ahead of World No Tobacco Day on Wednesday May 31, WHO deplored that 3.2 million hectares of fertile land across 124 countries are being used to grow deadly tobacco — even in places where people are starving.WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that governments across the world “spend millions supporting tobacco farms”, and that choosing to grow food instead of tobacco would allow the world to “prioritize health, preserve ecosystems, and strengthen food security for all”.The agency’s new report, “Grow food, not tobacco”, recalls...

Hundreds of expelled Germans set to leave Russia
BERLIN — Hundreds of Germans working in the education and cultural sectors are being expelled from Russia next month, the German Foreign Ministry said.It confirmed media reports that Russia had decided to cap the number of German employees from the start of June.They include teachers at the German school in Moscow and staff at the Goethe Institute cultural association.The move follows tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats and increasingly strained relations between Russia and Germany.Last month, Russia and Germany each declared 40 employees of their respective embassies personae non grata and expelled them.German daily newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper reported that the latest move will affect a “low-to-mid three-digit number” of employees, including diplomats.“In view of this...

Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu clash in desperate race for votes
ANKARA — The last hours of Turkey’s presidential race have turned increasingly sour as Recep Tayyip Erdogan bids to extend his 20 years in power by five more.Ahead of Sunday’s run-off vote, opposition rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu has courted nationalist votes by vowing to expel millions of Syrian refugees.The president accused him of hate speech — and said a Kilicdaroglu victory would be a win for terrorists. The opposition candidate trailed in the first round by 2.5 million votes.The president is favorite, but his rival believes the margin could still be bridged — either by the 2.8 million supporters of an ultranationalist candidate who came third or by the eight million voters who did not turn out in the first round.For four hours this week Kilicdaroglu took audience questions on a...
