ISTANBUL Turkish votersdelivered a rebuke on Sunday toPresident Recep Tayyip Erdoganas his party lost its majority inParliament in a historic electionthat thwarted his ambition to re-write Turkeys Constitution andfurther bolster his clout.

The results represented a sig-nificant setback for Mr. Erdogan,an Islamist who has steadily in-creased his power since beingelected last year as president, apartly but not solely ceremonialpost. The prime minister formore than a decade before that,Mr. Erdogan has pushed for morecontrol of the judiciary andcracked down on any form of crit-icism, including prosecutingthose who insult him on socialmedia, but his efforts appeared tohave run aground on Sunday.

The vote was also a significantvictory to the cadre of Kurds, lib-erals and secular Turks whofound their voice of opposition toMr. Erdogan during sweepingantigovernment protests twoyears ago. For the first time, theKurdish slate crossed a 10 per-cent threshold required to enterParliament.

Mr. Erdogans Justice and De-velopment Party, or A.K.P., stillwon the most seats by far, but nota majority, according to prelimi-nary results released Sundaynight. The outcome suggests con-tentious days of jockeying aheadas the party moves to form a co-alition government. Already, ana-lysts were raising the possibilitySunday of new elections if a gov-ernment cannot be formed swift-ly. Many Turks were happy to seeMr. Erdogans powers curtailed,even though the prospect of a co-alition government evokes darkmemories of political instabilityand economic malaise during the1990s.

With 99 percent of the votescounted, the A.K.P. had won 41percent of the vote, according toTRT, a state-run broadcaster,down from nearly 50 percent dur-ing the last national election in2011. The percentage gave it anestimated 258 seats in TurkeysParliament, compared with the327 seats it has now.

The outcome is an end toErdogans presidential ambi-tions, said Soner Cagaptay, anexpert on Turkey and a fellow at

CHICAGO In Illinois, fightsover the state budget and its $3billion shortfall have hit such animpasse that Gov. Bruce Rauner,a Republican, issued a dire warn-ing last week that a major, majorrestructuring of the governmentwas around the corner.

In Kansas, centrist Republi-cans have joined Democrats inattributing the states $400 mil-lion budget gap to deep tax cutspassed in 2012 and 2013 at theurging of Gov. Sam Brownback, aconservative Republican.

And in Louisiana, lawmakersin the Republican-controlledState Legislature are in a stand-off with their party colleagueGov. Bobby Jindal as they strug-gle with a $1.6 billion shortfall.

Though the national economyis in its sixth year of recoveryfrom the recession, many statesare still facing major fundinggaps that have locked legisla-tures in protracted battles withgovernors. In some states, law-makers have gone into overtimewith unresolved budgets, specialsessions and threats of wide-spread government layoffs. Only25 states have passed budgets,according to the National Associ-ation of State Budget Officers,which tracks legislative activity.

While some states led by Dem-ocrats are having budget prob-lems, too, there are far morestates where Republicans controlboth the legislature and the gov-ernors office: 23, compared withseven states controlled by Demo-crats. Some of the bitterest budg-et fights this year pit conserva-tive Republicans against centristRepublicans over how to cutspending or raise taxes.

Fallout from the budget bat-tles, though unlikely to be feltsoon, could well be significant.Taxes on income or commoditieslike cigarettes may go up in sev-eral states. School programs andclass sizes could be affected ifeducation funds are reduced. Andsome states may have to resort tolayoffs or furloughs, potentiallyleading to slowdowns in govern-ment services.

Many of the legislatures thatare struggling with budgets canpoint to external forces, includingslow economic recoveries andrising health care costs, for theirwoes. This is very different frompast recovery periods, where you

PRAGUE We have seen tod-dlers in tiaras, been left Nakedand Afraid and met more realhousewives than a postman.

But if you thought reality tele-vision had reached the bound-aries of imagination and goodtaste, a show that went on the airin the Czech Republic this monthhas opened up a whole new fron-tier.

In Holiday in the Protector-ate, an eight-part series fromCzech public television, threegenerations of a real-life familyare sent back in time to a re-mote mountain farm in 1939,when German invaders trans-formed the country into the Pro-tectorate of Bohemia and Mora-via.

There, they must not only sur-vive the rigors of rustic life withdated appliances and outdoor

plumbing, but navigate the moraland physical dangers of life un-der Nazi rule.

If they survive through eightepisodes and two months of film-ing they stand to win as much as

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad andTobago The prime minister ofthis Caribbean republic walkedout of a session of Parliament onFriday, angrily chastising a fel-low politician and former ally,Jack Warner, who finds himselfand his two sons at the center ofsoccers widespread corruptionscandal.

Here we are now, a focus of

the international world, not forthe good and great things but be-cause of the actions of one man,Kamla Persad-Bissessar, theprime minister of Trinidad andTobago, admonished Mr. Warnerin a confrontation that dominatedthe television news here Fridaynight and the front pages of Sat-urdays newspapers.

A onetime acting prime min-ister, as well as a former ministerof national security and trans-

portation, Mr. Warner, 72, is a po-larizing populist, loved andloathed, a man about whom thereappears to be no neutral opinion.

Four years ago, Mr. Warnerlost his lofty position as a vicepresident of FIFA, soccers worldgoverning body, in a briberyscandal. Now he stands accusedof racketeering by United Statesauthorities, charged with, amongother things, taking a $10 million

MADISON, Wis. Less than aweek after he was elected gover-nor of Wisconsin in 2010, ScottWalker went to Milwaukee at theinvitation of his political patron,Michael W. Grebe.

Mr. Grebe was Mr. Walkerscampaign chair-man. He was alsopresident of theBradley Founda-tion, a leadingsource of ideasand financing forAmerican con-servatives. Andthe bankers, in-dustrialists andpublic intellectu-

als on the foundations boardwanted to honor the states nextgovernor over dinner at Bacchus,a favorite restaurant of the cityselite.

While the Milwaukee-basedBradley Foundation could not en-dorse candidates outright, it pro-vided more than $2 million ingrants to think tanks that implic-itly championed Mr. Walkerssmall-government platform, and$520,000 to Americans for Pros-perity, a national group that heldTea Party rallies at which Mr.Walker spoke.

Addressing the assembled con-servatives who had laid thegroundwork for his transforma-tion from county executive togovernor, Mr. Walker did not dis-appoint, pledging to go big andgo bold in office. In the monthsthat followed, he would deliver on

that promise, breaking Wiscon-sins public employee unions in abitter battle, surviving a recall ef-fort led by angry Democrats andmaking his fight the centerpieceof an as-yet-unannounced presi-dential campaign.

More than any of his potentialrivals for the White House, Mr.Walker, 47, is a product of a loosenetwork of conservative donors,think tanks and talk radio hostswho have spent years preparingthe road for a politician whocould successfully present theirarguments for small governmentto a broader constituency.

Mr. Walker has embracedthose goals in Wisconsin, and thepromise of his fledging presiden-

WASHINGTON The war inUkraine that has pitted Russiaagainst the West is being wagednot just with tanks, artillery andtroops. Increasingly, Moscow hasbrought to bear different kinds ofweapons, according to Americanand European officials: money,ideology and disinformation.

Even as the Obama adminis-tration and its European alliestry to counter Russias militaryintervention across its border,they have found themselvesstruggling at home against whatthey see as a concerted drive byMoscow to leverage its economicpower, finance European politicalparties and movements, andspread alternative accounts ofthe conflict.

The Kremlins goal seems to beto sow division, destabilize theEuropean Union and possiblyfracture what until now has beena relatively unified, if sometimesfragile, consensus against Rus-sian aggression. At the veryleast, if Russia can peel off even asingle member of the EuropeanUnion, it could in theory preventthe renewal later this month ofeconomic sanctions that arescheduled to expire absent theunanimous agreement of allmember states.

President Obama arrived inGermany on Sunday for a Groupof 7 summit meeting at which heplans to rally European allies tostand firm against Russia, espe-
