Another major shooting in the United States leaves

The authorities in Baton Rouge say it was a sniper attack -

two weeks after the killing of a black man by white

It's unjustified, it's unjustifiable,

The suspected gunman was shot dead at the scene.

Another major shooting in the United States has left three

:02:31.:02:54.

police officers dead and three others wounded, in the city

:02:55.:02:57.

Witnesses say they saw the killer dressed in black

:02:58.:03:02.

Today's attack came less than two weeks after the shooting dead

:03:03.:03:18.

in Baton Rouge of a black man, Alton Sterling, by white police.

:03:19.:03:20.

His killing prompted a wave of protests across the US.

:03:21.:03:23.

Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, sent this report.

:03:24.:03:25.

Sunday morning in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the

:03:26.:03:27.

Multiple shots ring out as a gunman opens fire on the police.

:03:28.:03:39.

Very quickly it's confirmed that three officers are dead,

:03:40.:03:41.

An absolutely unspeakable heinous attack on law enforcement here in

:03:42.:03:48.

Baton Rouge claimed the lives of two police officers, one Sherriff's

:03:49.:04:02.

Deputy. One officer is absolutely fighting for his life, as we speak.

:04:03.:04:05.

It is unjustified, it is unjustifiable. The violence, the

:04:06.:04:12.

hatred just as to stop. Detectives have launched a massive operation as

:04:13.:04:17.

America is convulsed again by a mass shooting with policeman the target

:04:18.:04:29.

and race apparently the spark. It was by Snider so they did not know

:04:30.:04:31.

where to locate it or anything. Tensions have been high

:04:32.:04:35.

in Baton Rouge since the death of Alton Sterling, the 37-year-old

:04:36.:04:38.

African-American was shot dead at point blank range,

:04:39.:04:40.

even though it appeared police had him pinned down

:04:41.:04:44.

and he was posing no threat. The shooting and the killing

:04:45.:04:48.

of another African-American by police sparked mostly peaceful

:04:49.:04:52.

protests across America, organised But in Dallas, a gunman,

:04:53.:04:54.

Micah Johnson, opened fire, deliberately picking off

white police officers. Today a frustrated President Obama

and protesters have promised And Jon is at the Republican Party

:05:49.:05:49.

Convention in Cleveland How much anxiety is being expressed

:05:50.:06:13.

their about this continued violence? Jane, there is anxiety, there is

:06:14.:06:17.

fear, there is unease and there is a certain degree of tension. Once

:06:18.:06:22.

again, the issues of race, mistrust of the police and the ready

:06:23.:06:27.

availability of firearms have come together in a lethal cocktail. To

:06:28.:06:33.

add to that, you also have the toxic political environment, where

:06:34.:06:37.

Republicans and Democrats seem so divided. President Obama is saying

:06:38.:06:41.

America is not as divided as some people say. Donald Trump saying

:06:42.:06:45.

America has never been more divided. I guess the biggest fear of all for

:06:46.:06:50.

Americans is that this country is sliding back to the sort of civil

:06:51.:06:53.

unrest that has not been seen here for half a century.

:06:54.:07:01.

A major purge of Turkey's state institutions is underway.

:07:02.:07:04.

More than 6,000 military personnel, judges and other officials

:07:05.:07:06.

have been arrested, with the number expected to rise -

:07:07.:07:09.

and the country's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan,

:07:10.:07:11.

has vowed to remove what he called the "virus", which he blames for

:07:12.:07:14.

Speaking at a funeral for some of those killed,

:07:15.:07:25.

he said there would be nowhere to hide for those responsible.

:07:26.:07:28.

From Istanbul, our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen sent this report

:07:29.:07:31.

It was a day of funerals in Istanbul. Turkey will take time to

:07:32.:07:38.

recover. It might not be possible for at least a generation. The dead

:07:39.:07:42.

were killed on the streets facing up to the military rebellion. Clerics

:07:43.:07:50.

led the prayers but the chief mourner was President Erdogan, the

:07:51.:07:54.

target of the attempted coup. He told them they would root out the

:07:55.:08:00.

traders. "We Will continue to clean the virus from all state bodies,

:08:01.:08:05.

because this virus has spread, unfortunately like a cancer, the

:08:06.:08:11.

virus has the state". For a while on Friday night, the rebel military

:08:12.:08:15.

units seemed to be getting the upper hand. This was fighting on one of

:08:16.:08:22.

the bridges. In the end, the was defeated because it was badly

:08:23.:08:25.

organised, because only a section of the Armed Forces rebelled and

:08:26.:08:32.

because on the streets they faced opposition and not support. A rebel

:08:33.:08:37.

soldier had to be rescued by the police after an angry crowd

:08:38.:08:41.

surrounded his tank. Supporters are that -- of the government are in no

:08:42.:08:46.

mood to forgive. More than 6000 arrests have been made. Turkish

:08:47.:08:50.

media say that included around 90 generals and admirals. Throughout

:08:51.:08:54.

the day here in Istanbul, heavy security followed the president from

:08:55.:08:59.

funeral to funeral. Even as the dead are being buried, there is a sense

:09:00.:09:02.

of foreboding about what comes next. The country was already badly split

:09:03.:09:10.

between the President's supporters, overwhelmingly religious, and

:09:11.:09:13.

secular Turkey. There is a lot of tension here and political as well

:09:14.:09:17.

as security choices ahead for the president. Is this a chance for him

:09:18.:09:21.

to try to reconcile for the opposition? This is a very disunited

:09:22.:09:25.

country. Or is it an opportunity for President Erdogan to crack down on

:09:26.:09:33.

those who oppose him? This was the funeral for a journalist and for a

:09:34.:09:35.

political campaigner and his 16-year-old son, all killed by rebel

:09:36.:09:45.

gunfire. President Erdogan, lost in the crowd. For his followers can he

:09:46.:09:51.

is a hero. They will support his next moves. He wants to make himself

:09:52.:09:56.

into a strong executive president. His opponents thought he was

:09:57.:09:59.

dangerously authoritarian before the coup, but now they fear his iron

:10:00.:10:05.

fist. After the funeral, these Erdogan supporters demanded that

:10:06.:10:08.

Turkey bring back the death penalty for the plotters.

:10:09.:10:14.

war. It is hard to think of a more dangerous mix for a country vital to

:10:38.:10:41.

the future of the Middle East and Europe. Jeremy Bowen, BBC News,

:10:42.:10:44.

Istanbul. So, tonight, President Erdogan

:10:45.:10:48.

is back in control Among the country's electorate,

:10:49.:10:50.

he's been a polarising figure. Critics argue that his conservative,

:10:51.:10:57.

religious vision has undermined basic freedoms,

:10:58.:10:59.

while supporters point to improved living standards and a tough

:11:00.:11:01.

approach to keeping order. Our Special Correspondent Fergal

:11:02.:11:03.

but this Labour MP is on a mission, to become his party's new leader

who commands the largest degree of support in the PLP is the unity

candidate and that is the person who should go forward

about the man who carried out the attack, as Lucy Williamson

reports from Nice. Lucy. Good evening. I think what is

:18:03.:18:13.

really striking about these attacks is the level of blame directed at

the government here. Tonight it was the turn of the centre-right

Finally, one of Britain's most celebrated actors, Mark Rylance,

:23:27.:23:36.

returns to the big screen this week in an adaptation of Roald Dahl's

:23:37.:23:39.

The film is directed by Steven Spielberg.

:23:40.:23:45.

They've been speaking to our Arts Editor Will Gompertz.

:23:46.:23:49.

A computerised version of Mark Rylance,

:23:50.:23:51.

It is his latest movie with Steven Spielberg.

:23:52.:23:56.

The giant of a director who has become a big friend.

:23:57.:24:00.

So, you have got a bit of a bromance going, haven't you?

:24:01.:24:06.

I just want to keep finding projects

:24:07.:24:09.

He's one of the greatest actors I've ever experienced in my career.

:24:10.:24:16.

There is a liquid Mark Rylance that literally becomes the shape

:24:17.:24:23.

Ruby Barnhill plays Sophie, an orphan, who the BFG takes back

:24:24.:24:33.

to his computer-generated land of giants, which is neither her

natural habitat, nor Mark Rylance's, who is better known as

The motion capture was eventually like a rehearsal room for the stage

:24:47.:24:49.

in that we did not have to do it the same way each time.

:24:50.:24:52.

I could be right next to him while he was performing with Ruby.

:24:53.:24:55.

I think I even had to ask Steven to step back a little bit.

:24:56.:24:59.

What is the role of a movie in this crazy world we're living in?
