توعدت أنقرة إدارة قبرص الرومية إثر إصدار الأخيرة قراراً بإلقاء القبض على العاملين في سفينة التنقيب التركية "فاتح".

أعلنت تركيا ارتفاع إنتاجها من الغاز الطبيعي خلال الأشهر الـ 3 الأولى من العام الحالي.

ذكرت صجيفة يني شفق التركية أن المؤسسة الأمنية التركية وضعت خططا بديلة، إذا أوقفت الولايات المتحدة تسليم تركيا مقاتلات F-35 بسبب قرار أنقرة شراء منظومة الدفاع الصاروخي الروسية S-400.

تستعد بلدة "كيشان" بولاية أدرنة شمال غربي البلاد، لإغراق هيكل طائرة ركاب عملاقة في مياه البحر لتنشيط القطاع السياحي بالمنطقة.

Tuesday's big hearing; Trump's call; NYT cuts cartoons; HBO cancels Vice; YouTube CEO speaks; Sinclair update; streaming service reality check

EXEC SUMMARY: The Golden State Warriors just ensured there will be a Game Six. Scroll down for four stories involving the NYT, three streaming biz stories, two new Apollo podcast guests, one Sinclair "Code Red" update, and the latest from Code Conference...

 

What do you hear?


Democrats apparently had high hopes for Monday afternoon's hearing about the Mueller Report with John Dean and other witnesses. But the crash landing of a helicopter in midtown Manhattan shifted cable news attention from DC to NYC. The hearing reached a fraction of the audience it otherwise would have attracted.

Rep. Steve Cohen blasted the control room decision-making in an interview with MSNBC's Ari Melber later in the day. "The president's guilty" of obstruction of justice, Cohen said. "I think we had a successful hearing. It's just how many people saw it I don't know. It should have been on MSNBC, it should have been on CNN, it should have been on Fox, and not just on C-SPAN 3."

But how impactful would the hearing have been, really? Or to put it another way: What are you hearing about? The Republicans seem to have a more clear and consistent message (the other side is out to destroy Trump) than the Democrats do.

 >> Speaking with CNN's Chris Cuomo on Monday night, Bill Maher said impeachment is the right thing to do, despite his reservations: "I'm sick of winning. He's right. I'm sick of winning. His winning."
 


Favreau says impeachment hearings are "the only way to take the microphone away from Trump"


Obama aide turned "Pod Save America" co-host Jon Favreau tweeted on Monday: "Impeachment hearings are the only way to ensure television coverage of Trump investigations. It's the only way to take the microphone away from Trump. If you're still against it, fine, but don't expect regular hearings to command the same kind of media attention."

 >> Related: During Monday's hearing, Dean said lawmakers have a "public education" role. "This report has not been widely read in the United States, it's not even been widely read in the Congress from some of my conversations, but I think it's a very important function that the committee is serving by bringing these matters to public attention..."

 

Dean's response to Trump

Trump called Dean a "loser" and criticized Dean's CNN contributor role on Monday afternoon. Dean responded this way on "AC360" Monday night: "I'm honored to be on his enemies list. I was able to make Nixon's at the end, so I'm pleased that I'm on Trump's, given my feelings about the threat he is to this country."
 
 

Tuesday's hearing: "Online Platforms and Market Power, Part 1"


The House Judiciary Committee's antitrust subcommittee will convene at 2 p.m. Tuesday for "Online Platforms and Market Power, Part 1: The Free and Diverse Press." David Chavern, Gene Kimmelman, Sally Hubbard, Matthew Schruers, Davd Pitofsky, and Kevin Riley will be testifying.

 >> Here's my table-setter: "Can newspapers be saved from Big Tech? This proposal aims to try."
 

BREAKING
 

US submits formal Assange extradition request


"The United States has submitted its formal request to the United Kingdom to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, according to a US official with knowledge of the matter," CNN's Laura Jarrett and Kate Sullivan reported Monday evening... "Now that the formal extradition package is in, the Justice Department is unlikely to mount additional charges against Assange..."
 

FOR THE RECORD, PART ONE

 -- An Phung flagged this: Thomas Erdbrink, the Tehran-based correspondent for The New York Times, has been barred by Iran's authorities from working "for the past four months." The paper notes that "Erdbrink's absence from the news report has become increasingly conspicuous because of escalating tensions between the Iranian authorities and the United States..." (NYT)

 -- Esquire digital director Michael Sebastian is succeeding Jay Fielden as EIC... And Nick Sullivan is becoming creative director... (NYPost)

 -- Deepest condolences to Simon Maloy's family, friends and colleagues. Media Matters announced on Monday that the veteran staffer has "passed away after a year-and-a-half-long battle with colon cancer." TPM collected many of the remembrances here... (MM)
 
 

"Fox News crosses the line on Joe Biden"


That's the headline on Chris Cillizza's latest, in reaction to this Daily Beast story about Fox News hosts "pushing rumors about Joe Biden's health."

"Trump — and his surrogates, including those at Fox — showed they were willing to do anything and everything to get him elected in 2016," Cillizza wrote. "These baseless hits on Biden's health — more than a year before the election — suggest they'll be following that same blueprint again."
 
 

The latest from Code Conference

(Photo: Asa Mathat for Vox Media)

Sara Ashley O'Brien emails: I'm here in very hot Scottsdale for Recode's Code Conference. Speaking on stage Monday afternoon, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki apologized to members of the LGBTQ community who were hurt by the company's decision regarding Steven Crowder and Carlos Maza. But, she said, she stands by the decision to keep up Crowder's anti-Maza videos that contain homophobic harassment and racist slurs. YouTube "wants to support this community but from a policy standpoint, we need to be consistent," Wojcicki said. Here's my recap.

Wojcicki seemed nervous on stage -- and appeared wholly unprepared to answer Q's about regulation. When asked what it would mean for YouTube if antitrust concerns forced a breakup with Google: "I don't know. I've been really busy this week working with all these other concerns," she said. Eventually she added: "We would figure it out."


Mosseri's argument


More from Sara: Later in the day, FB's Andrew Bosworth and Instagram head Adam Mosseri were also asked about antitrust concerns. Mosseri made the case that it would be "exponentially more difficult, especially for us on Instagram, to keep people safe," if Insta were not part of FB. His reasoning: There are more people working on issues around safety and election integrity at FB as a whole than there are people at all of Instagram. Here is Recode's recap...

>> Kara Swisher set the tone for the three-day gathering by releasing this "manifesto for Code 2019" on Monday afternoon...
 


HBO severs relationship with Vice


Oliver Darcy emails: HBO announced on Monday that it had canceled the Emmy-award winning "Vice News Tonight," ending the partnership the two networks had enjoyed for the past seven years. Monday's news can be broken down into five key points:

>> Josh Tyrangiel, who oversaw "Vice News Tonight," said he's leaving the company at the end of the month. He said in a note to staff that he "could use a break before contemplating" his next move…

>> Nancy Dubuc suggested in her memo to employees that the move to end the show was due to "leadership and content strategy changes over at HBO" following AT&T's acquisition of WarnerMedia (which also owns CNN)...

>> An alternative explanation: The program was expensive to produce and its ratings didn't justify the cost...

>> Vice has a new partner: Hulu. It has a news-centric show in production for the streaming service. THR first reported the news, which a person familiar confirmed to me…

>> No layoffs are coming as a result of the show's cancellation, a Vice spox told me… But some skeptical staffers are eyeing the exits...
 

Vice taps Murdoch-world veteran


Darcy adds: In her Monday email to staff, Dubuc announced that former New York Post publisher and CEO Jesse Angelo will be joining Vice as president of global news and entertainment. As Joe Pompeo noted in his VF tick-tock, some former Vice employees found Angelo to be a curious choice. But he is a longtime friend of James Murdoch, who sits on Vice's board of directors…
 

Somber mood music


One more from Darcy: All of this news comes during a period of significant upheaval for Vice, which is no longer the brand that so many outlets clamored to associate themselves with. In the last few months alone, we've seen the Disney write-down, the cancellation of "Vice Live," and the slashing of 10% of Vice staff. There's been a head-spinning amount of change at the company. And Dubuc has pledged to make Vice profitable very soon...
 
 

Critics bemoan NYT's decision to drop editorial cartoons


A month and a half after the NYT errantly published an anti-Semitic cartoon in its international edition, the newspaper has decided to do away with editorial cartoons altogether.

The decision was revealed when one of The Times' cartoonists, Patrick Chappatte, published a blog post linking the paper's decision to the recent controversy. But James Bennet, the editorial page editor, said the decision was being contemplated "for well over a year." He noted that the domestic edition of the NYT doesn't carry cartoons, and now he's bringing the overseas edition "into line." Here's my full story...
 


Supreme Court takes Comcast race discrimination case


CNN's Ariane de Vogue reports: The Supreme Court will hear a case "that could make it more difficult to bring a race discrimination challenge."

It stems from Comcast and Charter's decision not to carry TV channels owned by Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios Network. "The specific issue in this case is exactly what plaintiffs have to show to make out a race-discrimination claim under one of the more significant federal civil rights statutes," CNN analyst Steve Vladeck says.

Comcast's statement on Monday: "There has been no finding of discriminatory conduct by Comcast against this plaintiff because there has been none. We believe the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision was incorrectly decided. At this stage, the case is about a technical point of law that was decided in a novel way by the 9th Circuit. We hope the Supreme Court will reverse the 9th Circuit's unusual interpretation of the law and bring this case to an end."

>> The Charter legal battle is separate, as THR's Eriq Gardner explains here...
 

FOR THE RECORD, PART TWO

 -- Comcast "has pulled out of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council..."

 -- Stacia Philips Deshishku is the new VP and GM of ABC Radio...

 -- Lydia Moynihan and Charles Gasparino's latest for Fox: DOJ antitrust chief Makan Delrahim and FCC chair Ajit Pai "met Friday to discuss the proposed merger of T-Mobile US and Sprint, as final negotiations for the $26 billion deal appear to be drawing to a close... A final government decision on the merger could come as early as this week..."

 -- Daniel Lippman has word of a DC leak hunt: "Chamber of Commerce ends contract with consultant after WSJ investigation..."
 
 

Bleacher Report's path


Digiday's Sahil Patel has some new #'s showing Bleacher Report's growth: The brand "has been making a series of investments in longer-form content, events, commerce and a portfolio strategy that is centered on key portfolio brands such as House of Highlights and B/R Football. That has helped put the WarnerMedia-owned publisher on a path to make north of $200 million in revenue in 2019." Details...
 

No more "Code Red" days?


Sinclair still isn't commenting about the status of Joe Crain, the local weatherman who spoke out against his station's over-the-top "Code Red" weather alerts last week. Crain hasn't been on the air at WICS in Springfield, Illinois, since last Wednesday, the day of his viral monologue.

"His job may now be on the line," CNN's Eric Levenson wrote Monday. But Crain has a lot of support: "Several companies have stopped advertising with the station in solidarity with Crain and his commentary against the corporate decision-makers."

Maybe this is a coincidence, but the station hasn't hyped anything as "Code Red" worthy since last Wednesday, either. A source inside Sinclair quipped to me, "Now THIS is like a 'Code Red' -- the community is beyond irate." A spokesman for Sinclair did not respond to our requests for comment on Monday...

 >> Because this involves conservative-leaning Sinclair, there are political overtones. One of the state's two Democratic senators, Dick Durbin, expressed support for Crain and criticized WICS for "overstating the danger to our community..."
 

FOR THE RECORD, PART THREE

 -- This is a great piece by Andrew Heyward about Fox's DC station, WTTG, and its GM Patrick Paolini's approach to local news. "Paolini has pushed the limits on original production, productivity, promotion, and personality..." (Cronkite News Lab)

 -- NYT's "The Daily" is "delving deeper into European politics with a weeklong series to help grow its global audience..." (Digiday)

 -- A great read by Brian Resnick and Julia Belluz: "How librarians, pirates, and funders are liberating the world's academic research from paywalls..." (Vox

 -- Sports Business Daily's superb media newsletter is outside the paywall today... Here's a look at Fox's plans for Pebble Beach, NBC's profit potential for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and more... (SBD)
 
 

Goldberg's high hopes for Gawker


Gerry Smith is out with a big BW profile of Bustle boss Bryan Goldberg, who now owns the Gawker brand. Goldberg says "I want Gawker to be a peer of Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, and the Atlantic. It won't happen on Day 1. We probably won't be there a year in. But can we be there five years in? The answer is yes..."
 
 

Episode three of our Apollo 11 podcast


"Apollo 11: Beyond the Moon" is holding steady on Apple's top 100 chart for TV and Film podcasts. Episode three is now out -- it features my interview with JoAnn Morgan, the first female engineer at Cape Canaveral and the only woman present in launch control during the Apollo 11 mission. Plus, the author of "Hidden Figures," Margot Lee Shetterly. Hear the pod via Apple, Spotify, or Stitcher...
 

A 27-minute phone call to CNBC


The Trump-TV feedback loop was especially strong on Monday. When Chamber of Commerce exec Myron Brilliant criticized Trump's "weaponization of tariffs" on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Monday morning, Trump picked up the phone and called "Squawk" co-host Joe Kernen to hit back. You may recall that Trump and Kernen are known to chat off-air. Brilliant wrapped at 8:13... and at 8:28 Kernen said "we had an interested viewer" who "wants to make his case." By 8:36, Trump was on CNBC's beeper line... The call went on for 27 minutes... And Chris Cillizza pulled out the "27 most dubious lines" from it...

Personally, I liked Philly Inquirer reporter Bob Fernandez's framing: "Trump tweets Comcast vitriol at MSNBC and NBC. And then calls Comcast-owned CNBC to push agenda."
 

 

Trump's antitrust talk


Trump leaned on one of his favorite phrases, "there's something going on," when Kernen asked whether Silicon Valley has an antitrust problem. 

Trump noted the EU's hard line against Google et al -- suing for billions of dollars -- and said "we should be doing what they're doing." But as is so often the question with Trump: Was he setting policy or just shooting the you-know-what with a pal?

 --> On Page One of Tuesday's NYT: "Smaller Rivals Aim Slingshots At Tech Rivals," by Jack Nicas and Karen Weise...
 

FOR THE RECORD, PART FOUR

 -- Good catch by Drew Harwell: "People who searched on Google for the Mueller report have been told the document is 'fiction,' a baffling falsehood that highlights the fallibility of and threat of misinformation from the world's most influential search engine." After he inquired, "Google said the search result was an error and would be fixed shortly..." (WaPo)

 -- Aaron Rupar's argument: "Trump's interested in breaking up Big Tech for all the wrong reasons..." (Vox)

 -- The Post is out with a new count: "Trump has made 10,796 false or misleading claims over 869 days..." (WaPo)
 
 

Can the WHCA do more to combat all the lying?


One of the reporters gunning to be president of the White House Correspondents' Association, Shirish Dáte of HuffPost, is running on this platform: "We as an organization need to be more concerned about getting lied to as a matter of course — and the American public getting lied to, through us — than about access." Erik Wemple spoke with Dáte about it...

 

"More aggrieved than ever"


There aren't as many Trump-mood stories as there used to be. Remember when the Post would quote "17 sources," that sort of thing? But hey, here's a new one by Politico's Andrew Restuccia: "The cycle of lashing out and hitting back is a familiar pattern for Trump. As his presidency reaches the 2.5-year mark, he is more aggrieved than ever, telling advisers that he believes he'll never get fair treatment from the media and establishment politicians that he believes hate him..."
 

 

Acosta's book comes out Tuesday


"We have to stand for the truth. We're not just here to report the news. We're here also to defend the truth," Jim Acosta said on Sunday's "Reliable Sources." If you missed the interview, you can watch parts 1 and 2 on CNN.com. Acosta's book "The Enemy of the People" hits bookshelves Tuesday...
 


Alec Baldwin may not be done with Trump, after all


Surprise, surprise... We've seen this play before... 🙄

Frank Pallotta emails: Alec Baldwin made headlines last week when he told USA Today he was "so done" playing Trump on "SNL." But on Monday, while doing a promotional interview for ABC's "Match Game," Baldwin told Vulture's Joe Adalian that he doesn't really know yet if he'll play the commander-in-chief next season.

"Lorne was responsible for coercing me into doing '30 Rock,' which was the best job I've ever had in my life," Baldwin told Adalian. "[He] is somebody that I trust, and after I have a nice conversation with him, we'll see what the future holds. We'll see."
 

Viacom planning BET+ streaming service


WSJ's Ben Mullin broke this news on Monday: Viacom's BET Networks "is preparing to launch a streaming-video service aimed at African-American audiences, according to people familiar with the plans, as the media giant pursues new business lines to counter the decline of its traditional pay-TV operation." Tyler Perry is on board to promote and supply programming for the service, BET+, which is "is slated to launch in the fall."

 >> Per Mullin, "pricing isn't final, but Viacom executives expect it to cost more than the company's Comedy Central Now service, which is $3.99 a month..."

 

Reality check


A sobering line in Dade Hayes' Deadline story about BET+: "There are more than 200 streaming services in the U.S."

Matthew Ball posted an on-point Twitter thread about this on Monday. He said he wasn't subtweeting anyone in particular. But his point was that as more and more of these streamers launch, he recedes to the "often missing Q of what consumer problem they solve." Most are being launched, he said, to "solve an internal business need, not an unmet audience wants."

Ball: "With a baseline layer of Netflix + Amazon, plus likely Apple, and at least Hulu or Disney and a premium net, what problem does new service X solve? Why does someone want it? Or are they just being forced to add it (temporarily) for *a* show?"

 

WarnerMedia orders "Dune: The Sisterhood"


Variety's Joe Otterson reports: "WarnerMedia's streaming service has given a straight-to-series order to the sci-fi project 'Dune: The Sisterhood.' The series hails from Legendary Television..."

Brian Lowry's take: Increasingly, it looks like the streaming wars are going to be driven by big intellectual property — one reason to be bullish about Disney's chances — and especially sci-fi and fantasy. Enter WarnerMedia's announcement of a planned "Dune" series, "set in the universe" of Frank Herbert's novels. Notably, 'Dune: The Sisterhood' will be produced by Denis Villeneuve ('Blade Runner 2049'), who's also directing the film reboot of the franchise that's due to be released in November 2020...
 

FOR THE RECORD, PART FIVE

 -- Clever? "Steven Spielberg is penning a horror series for Quibi that users will only be able to see when their phone knows it's dark outside..." (Variety

 -- Borys Kit's latest: "Behind Fox's 'Dark Phoenix' debacle..." (THR)
 
 

Not a snub!


Brian Lowry emails: As pet peeves go, it was gratifying to see a lot of people respond to a tweet in which I took THR to task for labeling Jeff Daniels' failure to win a Tony — the award went to Bryan Cranston for "Network" — a "snub." The "snubs and surprises" story has become a common adjunct to awards coverage, but increasingly news outlets really distinguish between not winning and having somehow been collectively rebuffed by one's peers. Given Cranston's track record, this felt like a particularly egregious example of the practice...


ICYMI...


On Sunday's "Reliable Sources" telecast, we discussed Laura Ingraham's cringe-worthy interview with the president at Normandy... News coverage of the 2020 race and Joe Biden changing his stance on federal funding to pay for abortions... The recent police raids of a newsroom and a reporter's home in Australia... And YouTube's new white supremacy ban. Watch the video clips on CNN.com... Or listen to the show in podcast form via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app...

Hong Kong thrust to political crisis

Posted: 10 Jun 2019 04:56 PM PDT

TicToc Tonight
Bloomberg

Greetings, TicToc readers! Monday's almost over. Here's what's happening:

But first...

Hong Kong's extradition bill crisis

More than a million people have been protesting in Hong Kong in recent days against a bill that would allow the extradition of suspected criminals to mainland China. Weeks of rising tensions have led to violent clashes with police, as demonstrators demand the resignation of Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam, who's vowed to press forward with the extradition bill. 

More:

  • Lam dismissed suggestions the bill is "an order from Beijing," and promised to include human rights protections in the measure.
  • Hong Kong arrested seven protesters on suspicion of attacking the police and another 12 people on accusations they blocked roads.
  • Civil Human Rights Front says it'll hold another rally at the legislature on Wednesday during the second of three readings of the bill.

Headlines from around the world

A helicopter crash-landed atop a skyscraper near Times Square in Manhattan, killing the pilot and sparking a rooftop fire. 

John Dean, a Watergate whistleblower, testified that the Mueller report gave Congress a "road map" for investigating Trump.

David Ortiz was airlifted from the Dominican Republic to the U.S. after being ambushed by a gunman at a bar who shot him in the back. 

Canada will follow the European Union's lead and ban single-use plastics as soon as 2021. 

10 candidates are officially running to replace Theresa May as head of the Conservative Party and U.K. prime minister. 

Data of the day

Alkaline water is booming. Fueled by celebrity endorsements, companies all over are pouring money into the stuff (basically purified water with added electrolytes) in hopes of capitalizing on the new wellness trend.

Lean back and watch

There's a "homework gap" in the U.S. Nearly 1 in 5 students don't have access to computers or the internet at home. 

You could be seated in the wings on future flights. That's one idea for redesigning planes to reduce carbon emissions.

2019 is peak Keanu Reeves. His latest meme-worthy moment happened during a "breathtaking" appearance at the E3 Expo in L.A.

Posted: 10 Jun 2019 04:15 PM PDT

Although massive state resources have been mobilized against Imamoglu, the opposition candidate has taken up the mantle of the underdog who could challenge the status quo nationally, just as Erdogan himself did two decades ago.

READ THIS ITEM ON OUR WEBSITE


In Istanbul’s mayoral race redo, polls indicate that opposition candidate Ekrem Imamoglu is pulling ahead of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s candidate, former prime minister Binali Yildirim. Although Imamoglu won the first race on March 31, the country’s electoral board voided the election, alleging irregularities regarding the formation of ballot commissions in some Istanbul districts, and called for a revote on June 23.

Considering that Istanbul accounts for a third of Turkey’s economy and that Erdogan was Istanbul’s mayor before he became prime minister in 2003, this election could serve as a platform for Imamoglu to challenge the president nationally. Yet Erdogan—who controls many of Turkey’s institutions, including much of the media, courts, police, and election boards—has two plans to win Istanbul, one formulated before March 31 and one after.

PLAN A: WIN THE VOTE WITH A POLITICAL COCKTAIL

Erdogan’s preferred plan to win the Istanbul race for Yildirim is through a “cocktail of methods”: that is, blending various tools designed to make incremental gains in favor of his preferred candidate rather than one large “make or break it” moment. For starters, nearly half a dozen opposition journalists have been physically attacked in recent weeks. Despite inflicting some serious wounds, the perpetrators barely received a slap on the wrist; instead, the police and the courts gave them immunity. Meanwhile, false stories and doctored videos in pro-Erdogan media have promoted allegations that Imamoglu is of “Greek origin” and should therefore be disqualified from becoming mayor.

There is also a chance that election day will be marred by minor vote rigging. Turkey has enjoyed free and fair voting since 1950, and large-scale rigging seems out of the question. Yet the election board has largely favored Erdogan in its recent decisions, such as its May 6 verdict to cancel the Istanbul vote. On June 6, the board removed thirteen of the thirty-nine district heads in charge of polls in Istanbul. Compliant electoral officials could help Erdogan swing the outcome in his favor on June 23 if the margin between Imamoglu and Yildirim is narrow again (it was reportedly around 13,000 votes in March).

Furthermore, ongoing and successful Turkish military operations against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a designated terrorist group, could further help Erdogan’s camp. Various “national security crises” could do the same—for instance, wider conflict between Turkish and Greek Cypriot forces in the East Mediterranean, where the two countries have been at loggerheads recently over natural gas exploration. Barring such unforeseen incidents, however, Erdogan presumably hopes that his control over Turkey’s institutions—including semiofficial news agency Anadolu, the only body authorized to release election results—could help manipulate the outcome in Yildirim’s favor.

TURKEY’S “NEW ERDOGAN”

Despite the asymmetry between the candidates’ resources, Erdogan’s “Plan A” may have inadvertently helped create a “New Erdogan” out of Imamoglu, whose success should be analyzed within the context of Erdogan’s own rise in Turkey. Erdogan was born in a gritty, working-class Istanbul neighborhood in 1954. His initial political brand relied on casting himself as a poor, pious underdog in a Turkey that, at the time, restricted political power for people who wanted to wear religion on their sleeves. After he embraced political Islam and entered national politics in the 1990s as Istanbul’s mayor, he thrived by defending the interests of the “common pious voter” against the “secularist establishment.” This, among other factors, helped his Justice and Development Party (AKP) win Turkey’s 2002 parliamentary elections, elevating him to prime minister and, later, president.

For nearly a decade after 2002, Erdogan represented change in Turkey. He believed in a forward-looking vision for the country, suggesting that he could navigate the most pressing challenges, from the Kurdish issue to corruption to economic mismanagement. And he did. For this reason, many in the electorate supported him and his party at the ballot box.

That no longer seems to be the case, however. Erdogan has ruled Turkey for sixteen years, becoming the country’s most powerful politician in recent history. Nearly 31 million Turks, around 40 percent of the population, have come of voting age under him. Many of these citizens hold him responsible for the country’s current problems, such as renewed conflict with the PKK, a collapsing economy, and an oppressive environment toward the opposition.

Put another way, Erdogan now represents the status quo, and in this sense he may have inadvertently helped Imamoglu by undoing the March election. Under normal circumstances, mayoral votes should not affect national politics, but Erdogan has personally campaigned for his party’s candidate in this race, essentially turning the polls into a referendum on his popularity and providing Imamoglu with a wider platform as the “New Erdogan”—the underdog that represents a chance for change.

For example, Imamoglu is a pious Muslim, but unlike Erdogan, he wants to separate religion and government, a position that resonates with many citizens upset about the politicization of religion in recent years. Imamoglu has also rallied against corruption, nepotism, and wasteful government spending, striking solidarity with an electorate turned off by government excesses at a time of severe economic downturn. Moreover, he has rallied for an inclusive government, saying he is ready to treat all citizens equally regardless of their religious practice or lack thereof, striking the same chord Erdogan did in 2002.

PLAN B: GRADUALLY UNDERMINE IMAMOGLU IF HE WINS

If Imamoglu wins on June 23, Erdogan will not immediately rush to undermine him. Rather, the timeline of events after the March 31 vote provide a blueprint for his likely strategy. After winning the previous round, Imamoglu had to wait for over two weeks to officially take office. Erdogan allowed him to act as mayor for nearly three weeks before calling on the election board to cancel the vote and eject him from office; the board obliged to this demand in less than forty-eight hours. Had Erdogan called to annul the vote immediately, he likely would have triggered massive protests. Instead, he opted for a gradual approach spread over five weeks, thereby avoiding much of the public backlash that otherwise would have resulted.

Should Imamoglu win again, Erdogan will likely move slowly while taking steps to undermine the mayor’s authority. For instance, he could push his majority faction in parliament to pass legislation curbing Imamoglu’s powers. The most lethal legislative step would be to cut the city’s funding, since local governments in Turkey have limited means of raising revenue and rely on the central government for nearly two-thirds of their budget.

Another option is to sack Imamoglu and appoint a “caretaker” mayor, a measure Erdogan has previously used in other cities to replace elected mayors from the Kurdish nationalist Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) based on allegations that they had connections to the PKK. Given Imamoglu’s popularity, though, replacing him with a caretaker for no credible reason would likely spark protests.

To overcome this hurdle, Erdogan may resort to a combination of legal tools. When the election board canceled the previous Istanbul vote, it did so on the much-disputed grounds that, contrary to the law, a number of polling station officials were not civil servants. On June 5, however, the board decided that these same officials should not be substituted on June 23. Erdogan has already commented on this apparent contradiction, saying “I think there is misunderstanding.” This opens the door for him to eventually ask the board to annul the next Istanbul vote on the same grounds if Imamoglu wins again. Simultaneously, Erdogan could pursue parliamentary steps to limit funding for Imamoglu’s new government, which could result in collapsing city services and turn public sentiment against the mayor in the short- to mid-term, making it easier to remove him.

Imamoglu has already defeated Erdogan’s “Plan A” once before, prevailing in the March vote against long odds. To do so again, and to stave off “Plan B” machinations, he will need to rise above Erdogan’s legal games and convince enough voters that he is the underdog and defender they seek.

Are Gulf Arms Sales Really an ‘Emergency’? (Stroul | PolicyWatch 3132)

Posted: 10 Jun 2019 02:34 PM PDT

THE FACE-OFF OVER GULF ARMS SALES: 'EMERGENCY' OR FALSE ALARM?
by Dana Stroul

PolicyWatch 3132
June 10, 2019

As Congress questions whether certain arms sales merit emergency treatment, the White House may have opened a Pandora's box of long-term consequences for legislative oversight, Gulf relations, and defense profits.

READ THIS ITEM ON OUR WEBSITE


On June 5, a bipartisan group of senators announced twenty-two separate joint resolutions of disapproval aimed at blocking various U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This unusual move came in response to the Trump administration’s May 24 use of the emergency exception granted under the 1976 Arms Export Control Act (AECA), which governs how the United States sells weapons to foreign governments. By declaring this “emergency” and forgoing the required fifteen- or thirty-day congressional review period, the administration created a path to move forward with an estimated $8.1 billion in arms sales. To justify the move, officials emphasized the need to bolster regional allies against the increased threat from Iran.

The face-off exacerbates overlapping debates between the White House and Congress on three pressing issues: U.S. policy toward Saudi Arabia, U.S. regional strategy to counter Iran, and legislative oversight in the articulation and execution of foreign policy. Previous stare-downs include a war powers resolution calling for an end to U.S. military assistance for Saudi-led coalition operations in Yemen, which the president vetoed in May after it passed the Democratic-controlled House and Republican-controlled Senate. And in February, the administration refused to respond decisively when Congress invoked the 2016 Global Magnitsky Act to request a determination regarding Saudi crown prince Muhammad bin Salman’s role in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In both cases, congressional debate centered on whether Washington’s current relationship with Saudi Arabia strengthens U.S. security priorities or undermines them; members also focused on the broader issue of asserting the legislature’s role in shaping foreign policy.

Today, Congress continues to devote much of its bandwidth to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and U.S. involvement in Yemen, and the bipartisan Senate group that announced the latest resolutions should worry the administration. The group includes three ranking members of powerful national security committees (Foreign Relations, Armed Services, and Appropriations), as well as two Republican members who have consistently challenged the administration on Middle East policy. In their press release describing the resolutions, the senators raised human rights concerns, the behavior of Crown Prince Muhammad, and the worsening humanitarian crisis in Yemen; they also insisted that there are more compelling means to counter Iran than weapons sales. And in defending Congress’s oversight role, they characterized the administration’s use of the AECA emergency exception as “an abuse” that has “broken the arms sales process.”

WHICH SALES ARE SENATORS TRYING TO STOP?

The twenty-two Gulf arms deals that the White House has sought to push through include precision-guided munitions, aircraft support/sustainment, training programs, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft. The first item is the most controversial. Over the past year, Congress has objected to the sale of precision-guided munitions out of concern that they would exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in war-torn Yemen. Some members therefore see the administration’s use of the AECA waiver as an end run around Congress, not a true emergency.

Similarly, aircraft maintenance and training deals are important for sustaining partner air forces, but their urgency is questionable, and they struggle to meet the high standards of AECA’s emergency provision. At the same time, some of the sales involve U.S. allies who are part of related supply chains and technology consortiums (e.g., Australia, Britain, France, Israel, Jordan, and Spain), so halting such deals could hurt these countries.

THE IRAN ANGLE

The crux of the debate is the administration’s assertion that the Iranian threat constitutes an emergency for which weapons sales are urgently required. Members of Congress have expressed frustration at the administration’s insistence that the threat from Iran is more acute than before. While no one disputes that Iran transfers sophisticated weapons to Yemen’s Houthi rebels, some members argue that Saudi and Emirati operations in Yemen have opened space for a deeper Houthi-Iran relationship. Others have sought to differentiate “legitimate” security threats—for example, they support U.S. arms transfers that help counter Iran-supported Houthi missile and drone attacks inside Saudi Arabia, but they do not want to assist the coalition air campaign or local Yemeni groups that have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis and made a political solution more elusive. The types of sales moving forward under the emergency waiver do not specifically address the issues that most members of Congress agree are legitimate, such as missile defense.

The administration also faces a high bar when compared to how past administrations have used the same authority. For example, President Bush invoked the exception in 1990 after Iraq invaded Kuwait, selling tanks and F-15s to the Saudis. Yet these weapons came from existing U.S. stocks in Saudi Arabia rather than new production. In the current case, many of the weapons still need to be manufactured and delivered over years, underlining the elusive nature of the “emergency.”

CAN CONGRESS REALLY STOP THESE SALES?

The current resolutions of disapproval will not prevent the White House from moving forward with any of the sales. The administration’s main purpose in using the emergency exception was to sidestep the standard fifteen- or thirty-day review period, during which any member of Congress can try to stop a sale through a joint resolution of disapproval. In essence, the senators are using that same standard tool for a nonstandard situation. Yet while twenty-two resolutions can help grab headlines and send a signal to the executive branch, foreign governments, and the defense industry, they are unlikely to compel speedy legislative consideration on the Senate floor. Even if the Senate and House were to pass some of them, President Trump would no doubt veto them, and the Senate is unlikely to override him given the required two-thirds margin.

The longer-term implications are more worrisome. The next major national security legislation coming up for congressional debate is the annual National Defense Authorization Act. If members of Congress are denied the standard options for expressing concern and dissent, they will likely look to more impactful and longer-lasting options such as amendments to the NDAA. For example, they could try to limit future arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE specifically. One could also imagine an attempt to raise the bar even higher for future presidents to use the emergency AECA provision, potentially hampering the White House in a credible emergency situation down the road.

Indeed, by invoking the emergency exception, the White House may have opened a Pandora’s box of foreign and economic policy specters that reach beyond the current Gulf arms deals and Iran threats. With the precedent set, Saudi Arabia and the UAE may now expect such expeditious treatment for all defense sales given their place on the frontline against Iran. Meanwhile, Congress will likely retaliate against the executive branch’s circumvention of the standard review process by slowing down the approval of future arms sales to these two governments, further deteriorating their already frayed relations with Washington. Other countries may seek preferential treatment as well, citing non-Iran emergencies such as threats from Russia or China. At a time when many foreign officials already view the United States as unreliable, further perceptions of unequal treatment among partners is unlikely to help.

Finally, the situation could have unexpected implications for the defense industry. On the surface, U.S. defense firms have much to gain from the administration’s $8.1 billion in expedited sales. Yet if Congress decides to constrain sales to certain countries or boost its oversight in the long term, more global customers may decide that the costs of doing business with American firms outweigh the benefits. Many buyers are already dismayed by the procedures and pace of U.S. arms sales and are increasingly looking to foreign competitors, particularly Russia and China. A more pronounced shift in that direction would directly affect the U.S. economy and undermine a key tool in Washington’s effort to remain the security partner of choice in the Middle East.

Social media is a powerful tool that brings fresh scrutiny to the centuries-old practice of trophy hunting. In 2017 alone, 650,000 hunting trophies were imported into the U.S. As the global conservation community grapples with the role of trophy hunting in wildlife management, U.N. experts warn one million species face the risk of extinction.

Despite the backlash by many against hunters, the hunting community is speaking out claiming the money generated from trophy hunting is used to save many species far more than ecotourism or other conservation efforts.

In this episode of CBSN Originals, we travel to one of the world's premier trophy hunting destinations to find out whether hunting helps or harms the long-term survival of wildlife.

Today's Agenda

The Heroes of Merger Monday

Sometimes you just have to sit back and admire those rare individuals who, with nothing but grit and several billion dollars of shareholder money, make their corporate dreams come true, by buying stuff.

Such moments often come on Mondays, which is typically when massive mergers get announced, because dealmakers for whatever reason enjoy working over beautiful spring weekends. Today was a Merger Monday for the ages, starting with the announcement that United Technologies Corp. is paying $50 billion for Raytheon Co., creating an aerospace behemoth large enough to worry President Donald Trump, who said he feared it would hurt competition. Brooke Sutherland writes it will certainly shift the balance of power toward suppliers and away from Boeing Co. Brooke notes the deal also marks the culmination of the vision of United Tech CEO Greg Hayes, who has busily cut and sculpted that storied company into a focused aerospace giant, for better or worse.

Another CEO known for his vision thing is Salesforce.com Inc.'s Marc Benioff, who announced his own massive deal today, spending $15 billion on a "business intelligence" software maker called Tableau. Shira Ovide writes this is the latest and priciest sign of Benioff's lofty ambition to turn his company into a "software supermarket" a la Microsoft Corp. The trouble with such ambition, Shira notes, is it tends to put you right in the competitive path of the even bigger supermarkets. 

While we're throwing big deals around, Tara Lachapelle suggests one more that might make sense: Dish Network Corp. buying DirecTV from AT&T Inc. Both could benefit from greater subscriber numbers, and DirecTV is an increasingly awkward fit for A&T, Tara writes. But the deal could test just how much anti-competitive dealing regulators and courts can stomach. 

Further Merger Monday Reading:

No More Infrastructure Weeks

"Another successful Infrastructure Week" has become a popular running joke of the Trump era partially because of the widely held disappointment it reflects: Trump keeps promising to fix our crumbling infrastructure, and keeps getting comically sidetracked. But maybe we should count our blessings, Bloomberg's editorial board suggests. Big, splashy infrastructure deals, such as the $2 trillion one Trump and Democrats have bandied about, tend to waste money and ignore desperately needed fixes, the editors write. Far more useful right now are boring but necessary maintenance projects to repair the infrastructure we already have (cough Hudson River tunnel cough).

Bonus Editorial: Fetal-tissue research has saved or improved hundreds of millions of lives, and stopping it does nothing to stop abortion. So why aren't scientists more vigorously defending it from Trump's shutdown of federal support?

Trump Plays With 3D Fire, Not Chess

The market rallied today partly because Trump late Friday snuffed out the fuse on the Mexican-tariff bomb he had lit just a week earlier, panicking everyone. He strenuously objected to reports he had once again created a crisis and then "solved" it by returning to the status quo. But Tim O'Brien writes the Mexican fiasco is in keeping with Trump's long emulation of Auric Goldfinger, the original villain who just wanted to watch the world burn. He keeps trying to make the biggest splash possible, without understanding the consequences. And every time he is forced to retreat, he grows more dangerous, Tim warns.

Trump's frustrations are mounting even with Senate Republicans, notes Jonathan Bernstein. They keep him in office by refusing to contemplate impeachment, but they also refuse to do anything he wants them to do, Jonathan notes, from confirming his most controversial appointments to building his Big, Beautiful Border Wall. 

Further Political Reading: Bernie Sanders's nomination chances are sinking. – Jonathan Bernstein 

Life in the Panopticon

Amazon.com Inc. recently filed a patent for an Alexa that listens to every word you say. You're not alone in being disturbed by that thought, but Stephen Carter suggests you should relax: Alexa will work better if it's always listening; and anyway, we might as well get used to our stuff eavesdropping on us. Noah Smith is somewhat less sanguine, noting companies that know everything about us are better able to discriminate against us in all sorts of ways. Governments must put limits on "surveillance capitalism," Noah writes.
