Erdogan loses Istanbul

All the reaction as President Erdogan's party loses the mayoral election in Istanbul

Nuala McGovern presents this edition live from Istanbul, as Turkey's ruling AK Party loses control of the city after a re-run of the mayoral election. The main opposition party candidate Ekrem Imamoglu has seen a huge increase on the margin of victory he achieved in the earlier election in March. That victory was annulled after the AKP alleged irregularities. The loss is a huge blow for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. We get all the reaction and find out what's next for the city.

Also, a new survey suggests Arabs are increasingly saying they're no longer religious. Our colleague from BBC Arabic tells us more.
