his money. at least to force a runoff. in the end, it is confirmed short of 53% of the turkey voters voted for mr. erdogan and 30% for his opponent. in the context there was only one television station for example that ran any of the statements last night. indeed, the pro-curkurd party d not have anyone run their message. in the future, mr. erdogan has high degree of executive power concentrated in the hands of his presidency. he will rule by decree and appoint his cabinet. the position of prime minister has been abolished. and the legislation is now close to a rubber stamping as his ruling coalition is dominant

the white house is preparing its formal follow-up to the singapore summit. the u.s. expected to give north korea a request and timeline regarding the pyongyang commitment to denuclearization. we have alexandra field in seoul at 5:14 with the latest. where are we headed? >> reporter: dave, the world watched when president trump and kim jong-un signed that agreement in singapore agreeing essentially to work toward denuclearization. there was no explaination at tht time. the plan will be put in place.

they have to present north korea for the vision of implementation. that comes with a set of quote/unquote asks and data to have north korea act quickly and move ahead to denuclearize. james mattis is making his way to the region this week and stopping in china and south korea and japan where north korea is a top item on the agenda. when it comes to what north korea has done in the aftermath of the summit and if they are signals they are trustworthy. there were other agreements with the president and kim, a pledge to return the service members whose bodies were left since the korean war. president trump expects the return up to 200 sets of remains. we know there are 5,300 sets of remains belonging to u.s.

permission from my brother or dad to do this. >> reporter: michelle, it has been incredible. emotional for the women we met. you know, they can't believe this is finally happening that they can drive legally without the fear of being arrested. at the same time, you know, there are some weighting to see what kind of reaction they will get from the ultra conservative society. in big cities here like jeddah, men have been welcoming of this and women have felt comfortable on the roads. as you mentioned, this is a big step forward. this is what everyone here is saying. there is still a long road ahead when it comes to equality in saudi arabia. especially when it comes to that repressive guardianship law. women here from the moment they are born until they die, they cannot take basic decisions like ability to travel or go to

college without getting approval of a male guardian. some of the women we spoken to, michelle, say they think is going to change soon. they are seeing the loosening up to the repressive law. one thing we have to mention on this day, absent, not behind the wheel, but behind bars the women's rights activists who for years spent trying to campaign for the women's rights to drive in saudi arabia and they were rounded up in recent arrests of human rights activists here in the kingdom. michelle. >> just a step. it must have been great to be there, jomana. thank you. >> it is unusual. you want to celebrate. it is 2018. >> you have to see it both ways. you need permission to do this. however, you are seeing happy faces and celebrating. >> baby steps. >> nice to see happiness.

rhetoric on immigration another step further. president trump suggesting immigrants should not receive due process. and further building on the idea that his strong rhetoric on immigration helped get him elected. here are the president's tweets. he writes, quote, we cannot allow all of the people to invade our country. we must immediately with no judges or court cases bring them back where they came from. our system is a mockery to good policy and order. our system is laughed at all over the world is unfair to all of those people who have gone through the system legally and waiting online for years. despite the tweets from the president, he has sent mixed messages how he wants congress to solve this problem. if you recall on friday, after weeks of negotiations on capitol hill by house republicans, the president essentially told them to punt and wait on the passage

erdogan got close to 53%. his rival around 30%. mr. erdogan also took with the coalition the majority of the seats in turkey's parliament. in fact, the erdogan party coalition and erdogan himself now have emerged from the process stronger than when he went into it. this, of course, following the constitutional changes that was brought in after the referendum last year means power is heavily concentrated in the hands of the turkey president. he can appoint his own cabinet and rule by decree and rule in the way the second chamber, legislation, effectively watered down. he now controls it and his power is going to be much more absolute than it was even before the elections when he was the president and unable to use the full force of the new constitutional dispensation.

>> frightening proposition for his opponents and media. sam kiley, thank you. the eu vows to retaliate against the rule by the u.s. to slap tariffs on european cars escalating a trade battle with the u.s. and key ally. the eu slapped tariffs on $3 billion on u.s. goods. retaliation for the tariffs on aluminum and steel. president trump threatened to hit back with a 20% tariff on all european cars. european car companies should build them here. european automakers do build lots of cars in the u.s. the german carmakers have big plants in states like alabama and south carolina. in fact, bmw, one of south carolina's largest employers. german automakers employ 116,000 americans. last month, the president asked the commerce department to look

into imports. on we go toward the trade battle. >> it keeps coming. the ban on women driving finally lifted in saudi arabia. what's the response been like there? we will be live on the ground next.

concept will be presented to north korea of what implementation looks like and it will coming with quote/unquote specific asks and a timeline and data points to help the u.s. to determine whether or not north korea is acting in good faith in terms of upholding its end of the agreement to work toward denuclearization. north korea made other pledges. president trump said they would destroy a missile engine test site. it is not clear if that has happened or if it will happen. they will be returning the remains of the u.s. service members from the korean war. this is something families have waited decades for and the u.s. expects up to 200 sets of remains rremain s -- remains returned. in preparation for a handover, u.s. officials have sent 100 wooden coffins to the dmz. they will take those to the air base in south korea and sent to
