Good morning. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has declared victory over his rival Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu in an unprecedented second round of the Turkish presidential election, although the full tally of votes is yet to be counted. A triumphant Erdoğan stood on top of a bus near his residence in Istanbul to once again sing a campaign song to his supporters and pronounce victory. “Look at this scene. It’s magnificent,” he said. “We have completed the second round of the presidential elections with the favour of our nation.”
Meanwhile, parts of Melbourne were shaken by a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that hit near Sunbury in the city’s north-west late on Sunday night. Geoscience Australia confirmed the quake occurred at 11.41pm. Thousands of people contacted the agency to report they had felt the shaking, but there have been no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.
