:00:09. > :00:14.Britain's new Prime Minister is on her first foreign trip
:00:15. > :00:16.as leader - she's having dinner in Berlin with the German
:00:17. > :00:25.Earlier Ms May had a message of unity.
:00:26. > :00:31.We are not walking away from our European friends. Britain will
:00:32. > :00:34.remain an outward looking country and Germany will remain a vital
:00:35. > :00:36.partner and special friend for us. 99 generals are charged
:00:37. > :00:38.after the attempted coup in Turkey, and the crackdown

:00:41. > :00:43.Sam Allardyce will be named England We'll be live at the Republican
:00:44. > :00:53.Party convention where Melania Trump's speech writer has
:00:54. > :00:55.apologized after chunks of what she said sounded exactly
:00:56. > :00:57.like Michelle Obama's And we'll report from Rio,
:00:58. > :01:05.where the man in charge of security for the Olympics has told the BBC
:01:06. > :01:08.how concerned he is about a terror Two of the world's most
:01:09. > :01:28.powerful women have met - German Chancellor Angela Merkel
:01:29. > :01:30.and British Prime Minister Theresa May held their first face-to-face
:01:31. > :01:32.talks, and while they both stressed their common values,
:01:33. > :01:35.Angela Merkel warned that uncertainty was not
:01:36. > :01:40.in anybody's interest. Ms May was greeted by Ms Merkel
:01:41. > :01:44.with a guard of honour. Both national anthems were played
:01:45. > :01:46.before the two leaders It's Prime Minister May's first
:01:47. > :02:02.overseas visit as leader, and the More significant. Germany is seen as
:02:03. > :02:03.key to Britain 's uncoupling from the EU.
:02:04. > :02:06.The two leaders both spoke to the media with Mrs Merkel
:02:07. > :02:08.stressing again that there would be no talks before the formal
:02:09. > :02:18.TRANSLATION: Right from the start, I said after the referendum was
:02:19. > :02:23.decided that it is now up to the British government to define how it
:02:24. > :02:26.wishes to see its future relationship with the European
:02:27. > :02:32.Union, and to then also pursue the following steps, particularly as
:02:33. > :02:38.regards the process leading up to invoking article 50. Only then will
:02:39. > :02:42.the proper negotiations start. I've been clear that Brexit means
:02:43. > :02:46.Brexit, and the United Kingdom is going to make a success of it, but I
:02:47. > :02:50.also want to be clear here today and across Europe in the weeks ahead,
:02:51. > :02:54.that we are not walking away from our European friends. Written will
:02:55. > :03:01.remain an outward looking country and Germany will remain a vital part
:03:02. > :03:03.and special friend for us. We have centuries of shared history, our
:03:04. > :03:08.languages and culture are deeply intertwined, in recent decades we
:03:09. > :03:12.have developed a strong alliance. This was reflected in Her Majesty
:03:13. > :03:16.The Queen's historic state visit here just over a year ago. It is a
:03:17. > :03:20.constructive is that I have come here today, to lay the foundations
:03:21. > :03:24.for a strong relationship in the hours ahead.
:03:25. > :03:28.Earlier I asked him what he made of the meeting.
:03:29. > :03:34.It was interesting hearing Mrs May described Britain as a special
:03:35. > :03:39.friend and talking about the vital partnership between Germany and
:03:40. > :03:44.Britain. Those are extremely warm words. It just goes to show that,
:03:45. > :03:48.really, Theresa May wants to prove to Berlin that the Brexit vote was
:03:49. > :03:53.not about Britain isolating itself. Theresa May also made a joke of the
:03:54. > :03:57.fact, when she was asked by journalists have the two women got
:03:58. > :04:01.on, she said we are two women, and she stressed that word, because lots
:04:02. > :04:05.of parallels are being drawn between them either press and how they will
:04:06. > :04:09.get on, who like to get down to business and effectively call a
:04:10. > :04:15.spade a spade. That is what the press has speculated, both Mrs May
:04:16. > :04:18.and Mrs Merkel have reputations for being drab Matic, nonideological,
:04:19. > :04:22.and the hope is they will be able to strike a deal, or at least get on
:04:23. > :04:26.well enough to make a good compromise. There are lots of very
:04:27. > :04:32.problematic issues in these future talks over Brexit between the EU and
:04:33. > :04:35.Britain, some of those topics came up in the press conference just now,
:04:36. > :04:37.talking to journalists, and they were not solved because we are at
:04:38. > :04:38.the beginning of that process. The BBC's political
:04:39. > :04:46.correspondent Tom Bateman Some people remark it was hard to
:04:47. > :04:53.believe his two women had not met properly before, such was the warmth
:04:54. > :04:56.of the tone of the meeting? It was extremely cordial between the
:04:57. > :04:59.leaders as they met, not just as first-time as leaders of their own
:05:00. > :05:05.respective countries but the first time they have met each other. We
:05:06. > :05:08.have had a working dinner between the two women tonight, in the last
:05:09. > :05:12.few minutes we understand that a wide range of issues were discussed
:05:13. > :05:18.between Theresa May and Angela Merkel. They discussed global
:05:19. > :05:22.challenges, Article 50 and access to the single market and immigration
:05:23. > :05:25.control. A Downing Street source said tonight that Downing Street is
:05:26. > :05:29.very encouraged either meetings with Chancellor Merkel, saying there was
:05:30. > :05:33.free-flowing conversation in the bilateral talks and the dinner,
:05:34. > :05:37.apparently they established a personal connection, according to
:05:38. > :05:41.Downing Street, and the relationship and communication channels are open.
:05:42. > :05:46.That is the key point, Downing Street is seeing this as the start
:05:47. > :05:50.of the process, a getting to know you session, getting to understand
:05:51. > :05:55.the way in which this two women will start to negotiate with each other.
:05:56. > :05:59.As we heard earlier, the press conference, it was striking how
:06:00. > :06:03.Theresa May was saying we are open to business, we want to remaining
:06:04. > :06:06.gauged with European partners, but Angela Merkel was saying, look, we
:06:07. > :06:12.need to know what the UK wants first, what it redlines and
:06:13. > :06:18.negotiating positions will be, before we make any moves. Amid that,
:06:19. > :06:22.did we get much by way of a timetable for how long the Brexit
:06:23. > :06:27.talks will go on and when they will properly begin? We have already
:06:28. > :06:32.heard from Theresa May that the article 50, the process for the very
:06:33. > :06:35.start of the negotiations, the process to withdraw, disentangle
:06:36. > :06:39.ourselves from the EU legislation, will not start before the end of the
:06:40. > :06:45.year at least. We have got no further on that in the press
:06:46. > :06:49.conference. Very clearly, the British Government position is that
:06:50. > :06:52.they want space to think first before they go into the
:06:53. > :06:56.negotiations. Theresa May say she wants to talk to the Scottish
:06:57. > :07:04.Government, Welsh and Northern Irish Assemblies, to get a full pic chip
:07:05. > :07:06.of the negotiating position. As for other positions, other countries
:07:07. > :07:10.have said they want to get things moving more quickly, we don't want
:07:11. > :07:14.you were sceptics in our own countries to start getting ideas as
:07:15. > :07:18.well -- we don't want Eurosceptics. There was not so much pressure from
:07:19. > :07:23.Angela Merkel about the timing, but it is clear that once the process
:07:24. > :07:27.begins, in theory, it should take two years to conclude the
:07:28. > :07:30.negotiations. Before Britain is effectively kicked out of the EU,
:07:31. > :07:36.unless the other 27 member states agree. But what is clear from both
:07:37. > :07:40.sides at the moment is that they both want to understand what the
:07:41. > :07:44.negotiating positions will be before anybody gives the game away about
:07:45. > :07:47.where they will start. She is meeting President Hollande in
:07:48. > :07:51.France tomorrow. Thank you, Tom Bateman.
:07:52. > :07:51.One of the issues they talked about was Turkey.
:07:52. > :07:54.Turkey has charged 99 generals and admirals in connection
:07:55. > :07:57.with the weekend's attempted coup - just under a third of the country's
:07:58. > :07:59.The government has now banned all academics
:08:00. > :08:02.from travelling abroad, as the purge of state employees
:08:03. > :08:04.suspected of being connected to the failed coup continues.
:08:05. > :08:06.So far more than 50,000 people have been rounded up,
:08:07. > :08:10.Mark Lowen reports from Istanbul - you may find some images
:08:11. > :08:22.at the start of his report upsetting.
:08:23. > :08:28.Watch the man rushing into the street, ready to die for democracy.
:08:29. > :08:33.New pictures from the coup attempt show a citizens throwing stones and
:08:34. > :08:37.then himself in front of a tank to stop it. Unbelievably, he picks
:08:38. > :08:42.himself up, another rebel tank approaches. Again, he is prepared to
:08:43. > :08:48.sacrifice himself. Again, he survives. Injured but defiant, he
:08:49. > :08:53.says it was a GT to defend his country and the president.
:08:54. > :08:56.TRANSLATION: We heard the tanks were approaching while firing,
:08:57. > :08:59.all I could do was respond with the three stones that I had,
:09:00. > :09:03.God protected our president, without the 15 minutes he had
:09:04. > :09:14.to escape, it would have been a disaster.
:09:15. > :09:18.Turkey almost slipped from President Erdogan's grasp.
:09:19. > :09:22.Discussing urgent solutions with the Security Council.
:09:23. > :09:28.Expected to widen the post to crack down.
:09:29. > :09:31.-- the post-coup crackdown on those behind it.

:09:54. > :09:56.Education is being purged. All university deans have been told to
:09:57. > :09:57.resign. Another 35,000 employees

:10:50. > :10:52.on our climate as our science editor This marked the end of our

:15:45. > :15:46.Russia doping scandal. The International Olympic Committee
:15:47. > :15:48.has announced it will make a decision on whether to ban
:15:49. > :15:51.all Russian athletes from the upcoming Rio Olympics
:15:52. > :15:53.within the next week. It follows a report
:15:54. > :15:55.from the World Anti-Doping Agency which found evidence of widespread
:15:56. > :15:58.state-sponsored doping in Russia. Meanwhile, the head
:15:59. > :16:01.of the Russian Olympic Committee has said that Russia would not
:16:02. > :16:08.boycott the Olympic Games. Famil Ismailov from the BBC's
:16:09. > :16:17.Russian Service told me more. Lots of things will depend on what
:16:18. > :16:23.the arbitration court in Lausanne, the sports arbitration court, what
:16:24. > :16:27.verdict they will give tomorrow, on Thursday. From that we will have an
:16:28. > :16:31.indication what kind of decision we should expect from the International
:16:32. > :16:35.Olympic Committee. The worst-case scenario for Russia is a complete
:16:36. > :16:38.ban on all athletes? I think the worst case scenario would be a
:16:39. > :16:43.political boycott of the Olympic Games by Russia, that will not
:16:44. > :16:47.happen, as the head of the Russian national Olympic Committee,
:16:48. > :16:54.indicated. That is an important point, it means Russia is trying to
:16:55. > :16:57.find a conciliatory tone, trying to see if they can move ahead without
:16:58. > :17:04.exaggerating the whole thing all over again. We also heard that Mr
:17:05. > :17:09.Putin is not meeting the team before it goes to Rio de Janeiro, another
:17:10. > :17:14.indication that Russian authorities understand that this is a really bad
:17:15. > :17:18.situation and they are at fault. We mentioned the worst-case
:17:19. > :17:22.scenario, what would be the best case? How could Russia get out of
:17:23. > :17:27.this and make the best of it? The best case an aria with the fresh
:17:28. > :17:30.and athletes, those from the Russian team who were not implicated in the
:17:31. > :17:36.scandal, so-called clean athlete is not involved in doping scandals, if
:17:37. > :17:40.they would be allowed to take part in the Rio Olympic Games under the

:20:13. > :20:16.go home. The only problem is that if you are not working, you are not
:20:17. > :20:23.earning, and the earnings are so much lower than I expected, and it's
:20:24. > :20:28.really starting to bite now. You are noticing it change? Is it more
:20:29. > :20:33.difficult to make money now than six months ago? Most definitely. The

:21:07. > :21:10.choose when they were, no set hours, but they are not entitled to things
:21:11. > :21:15.like holiday pay and sick pay. It revolves around pay as well, there
:21:16. > :21:19.is a minimum wage in the UK. Uber says they get the minimum wage, the
:21:20. > :21:24.union say they don't. If you take into account things like the running
:21:25. > :21:28.costs of the car. There are lots of details to go to. It comes down to
:21:29. > :21:35.how much these people will be paid for doing the job.
:21:36. > :21:39.We can take you straight to Ankara, let's hear from President Erdogan.
:21:40. > :21:43.TRANSLATION: One of its most critical days in history. The
:21:44. > :21:49.Turkish Armed Forces, within the Turkish Armed Forces, which is the
:21:50. > :21:53.pride of our nation and country, a group nestled in the Turkish Armed
:21:54. > :21:57.Forces break -- broke the chain of command and attempted a coup. Those
:21:58. > :22:03.individuals in this group, understood to be members of a
:22:04. > :22:07.terrorist organisation, attacked its state and its nation using planes,
:22:08. > :22:15.helicopters, tanks and all kinds of weaponry. The presidential complex
:22:16. > :22:20.and the Grand National assembly of Turkey, the premises of the officers
:22:21. > :22:26.of the Prime Minister, the chief of staff, the General command, the
:22:27. > :22:29.campus of the Turkish national intelligence agency, the Bosphorous
:22:30. > :22:36.Bridge and various military units were heavily attacked.
:22:37. > :22:43.Thanks to the determined stance of me and my Government and, of course,
:22:44. > :22:47.the fact that our nation stood in the way of the coup plotters and, as
:22:48. > :22:53.a result of the effective interventions of security forces,
:22:54. > :23:02.this attempt never succeeded. And in the face of our nation taking
:23:03. > :23:06.ownership of its country and its determination, the weapons, tanks,
:23:07. > :23:10.helicopters and planes of the coup plotters amounted to nothing.
:23:11. > :23:17.Against terrorists in military fatigues, the people stood upright
:23:18. > :23:25.and took ownership of their homeland and their future, and our nation
:23:26. > :23:30.wrote epics of heroic bravery throughout the night. We have the
:23:31. > :23:35.young, the old, the employers, the bosses, the villagers, the urban
:23:36. > :23:40.settlers, every member of our nation came together as one entity in the
:23:41. > :23:51.face of this attempt. Our citizens that said no to this Sauternes of
:23:52. > :23:54.people being shot -- saw tens of people being shot and motorised in
:23:55. > :23:59.front of their eyes, they saw the arrest people being wounded and
:24:00. > :24:06.injured. They tried to save those people and those dying... Under
:24:07. > :24:12.those dire circumstances, continuing resistance until the early hours of
:24:13. > :24:17.the morning. Thanks to God, everyone that feels themselves to be a member
:24:18. > :24:26.of this homeland and nation stood in the face of this attempted coup. Our
:24:27. > :24:31.nation have the sorrow of not being able to save one man and his friends
:24:32. > :24:37.and colleagues in the aftermath of the coup in 1960. In the aftermath
:24:38. > :24:41.of the coup in 1980, young people were executed, abiding by the idea
:24:42. > :24:49.of one from the right and one from the left, and those sufferings are
:24:50. > :24:54.still fresh in memory. The 15th of July 2016 is a turning point when
:24:55. > :24:59.the nation put an end to this ill fate. For the first time in the
:25:00. > :25:06.history of our country, and armed coup attempt was crippled by the
:25:07. > :25:11.nation itself. Turkey actually proved its allegiance to democracy
:25:12. > :25:19.and to the rule of law by paying a very high price, which is the lives
:25:20. > :25:27.of its citizens as a result of the fire and shootings of the coup
:25:28. > :25:33.plotters. 246 innocent citizens, police officers and military
:25:34. > :25:41.personnel, lost their lives, 15 -- 1536 innocent citizens were also
:25:42. > :25:47.wounded. On this occasion, I would like to honour the memory of the
:25:48. > :25:51.fallen, and I would like to wish speedily DaMarcus Beasley recovery
:25:52. > :25:55.to the wounded, I would like to convey condolence to relatives and
:25:56. > :26:01.families of those who lost their lives. I want to be very clear. It
:26:02. > :26:06.is no time to be dwelling on this or that political party. As the
:26:07. > :26:12.president of this nation I am proud of my country, my people, and I
:26:13. > :26:18.believe that with the nation we will overcome all of these obstacles, and
:26:19. > :26:22.this will go down in the history of democracy. It will be an heroic act
:26:23. > :26:27.of bravery from the hand of the Turkish nation.
:26:28. > :26:33.My bill of its citizens, starting from the first moment the coup
:26:34. > :26:38.attempt became clear, the president, myself, the Prime Minister and the
:26:39. > :26:42.ministers, security forces and the commanders of the Armed Forces that
:26:43. > :26:48.stood against the coup plotters, we all came together and worked in very
:26:49. > :26:52.close collaboration. Despite all dangers and all threats, I headed
:26:53. > :26:59.out to Istanbul immediately and with my nation, of course, stood against
:27:00. > :27:07.the coup potters. In the face of the determination and the will of my
:27:08. > :27:12.nation, the attempt was completely stopped before the evening of the
:27:13. > :27:16.following day. And today, on the 20th of July, we had a meeting of
:27:17. > :27:20.the National Security Council, followed by a meeting of the Council
:27:21. > :27:28.of ministers. The members of the National Security Council came
:27:29. > :27:34.together, they did comprehensive assessment is and we decided to
:27:35. > :27:41.recommend to the Government that a state of emergency be declared, as
:27:42. > :27:46.per Article 120 of the Constitution, in order for us to be able to
:27:47. > :27:50.speedily and swiftly do the deal with the elements of all the
:27:51. > :27:56.terrorist organisation. The Council of ministers also abided by that
:27:57. > :28:03.recommendation and decided to declare a state of emergency for a
:28:04. > :28:11.duration of three months. As it is now, Article of the 120 Constitution
:28:12. > :28:19.allows for a state of emergency to be declared in the event of acts of
:28:20. > :28:21.violence that aim to abolish democracy and cripple fundamental
:28:22. > :28:26.freedoms. The purpose of the declaration of the state of
:28:27. > :28:33.emergency is, in fact, to be able to take the most efficient steps in
:28:34. > :28:37.order to remove this threat as as soon as possible, which is a threat
:28:38. > :28:45.to democracy, the rule of law and the rights and freedoms of citizens
:28:46. > :28:48.in our country. This practice is absolutely not against a democracy,
:28:49. > :28:54.the rule of law and freedoms. Quite the contrary, it has the purpose of
:28:55. > :29:05.strengthening and protecting these values. The attempted coup that we
:29:06. > :29:10.experienced clearly showed who is on the side of democracy and rule of
:29:11. > :29:18.law in Turkey by risking their lives, and who is trying to impose
:29:19. > :29:22.their dictatorship. Our Government, our political parties, civil society
:29:23. > :29:26.and the chain of command under the Turkish Armed Forces and, most
:29:27. > :29:30.important of all, our nation, has always... They have always shown
:29:31. > :29:38.that their preference is on the side of democracy. On this occasion, I
:29:39. > :29:44.would like to also convey my deepest gratitude to my citizens that took
:29:45. > :29:51.to the streets, starting from the night of the 15th of July, that went
:29:52. > :29:58.to the squares and stayed there. Regardless of their political party,
:29:59. > :30:08.political thought or faith, all of my citizens stood in the way of
:30:09. > :30:13.tanks, they are to be likened to the heroes of the Gallipoli battles.
:30:14. > :30:20.They are to be likened to the Lions, as described by the poet. They stood
:30:21. > :30:24.in the way of the tanks, and with all of their courage, and they even
:30:25. > :30:42.reached -- risked being martyrs. And unfortunately we had to part
:30:43. > :30:53.ways with friends of many years who were killed during the incidents.
:30:54. > :31:02.So... A lady of 32 years of age was also killed after she was crushed by
:31:03. > :31:11.a tank. So these people are so heinous as to crash and squash a
:31:12. > :31:21.young woman by using a tank. That is how cruel these people are so that
:31:22. > :31:27.lady is now a marker. They did not content with that, they did not
:31:28. > :31:32.stop, my nation, our nation did not stop, people were shot and wounded,
:31:33. > :31:37.citizens did not leave their positions and they have proven that
:31:38. > :31:46.they are indeed the descendants of the war of independence. There were
:31:47. > :31:51.warplanes flying at low altitude, is fired using heavy weaponry and the
:31:52. > :31:55.streets were flooded by terrorists in military fatigues. Despite all of
:31:56. > :32:00.these things, my brothers and sisters did not leave or desert the
:32:01. > :32:08.streets and heroism, there is no word to describe it. And although
:32:09. > :32:16.the attempt has now been brought to an end, my citizens have also been
:32:17. > :32:20.occupying the streets and squares on democracy watch so that the same
:32:21. > :32:28.thing cannot be attempted again and names will go down in golden letters
:32:29. > :32:33.in the memory and the history of democracy so even today, starting
:32:34. > :32:39.from 4pm, people started flocking to the square, there are thousands of
:32:40. > :32:42.them, tens of thousands of people are elsewhere and we will have a
:32:43. > :32:49.video conference session with them and I will be addressing those
:32:50. > :32:56.crowds. One very important point is the following. Ankara, the police
:32:57. > :33:04.special operations unit and the Ankara police headquarters came
:33:05. > :33:08.under heavy fire by the coup plotters and despite that they'd
:33:09. > :33:14.never hesitated and they continued serving their nation and the police
:33:15. > :33:21.officers and those others who remain in their positions and who fought
:33:22. > :33:24.until the end is worth of praise. Also we have soldiers within the
:33:25. > :33:30.Turkish Armed Forces that stood against the attempted coup and some
:33:31. > :33:31.of them lost their lives and our nation will never forget their
:33:32. > :33:57.bravery and sacrifice. And there was also a case of a
:33:58. > :34:03.non-commissioned officer that killed a coup plotter because he could not
:34:04. > :34:11.obey by an order given to him, he himself was then killed by the
:34:12. > :34:14.plotters. The governors, the municipalities, starting from the
:34:15. > :34:18.moment they were notified of this attempt, they used all of their
:34:19. > :34:22.forces to side with donation, I would like to congratulate all of
:34:23. > :34:28.the administrators and executives in those places. Similarly I would like
:34:29. > :34:33.to convey my gratitude to all media outlets and civil society
:34:34. > :34:39.organisations that sided with the will of the nation against the
:34:40. > :34:42.attempted coup. My dear nation, fraternity has played the strongest
:34:43. > :34:50.unity between the state and nation in the face of the attempted coup of
:34:51. > :34:56.the 15th of July. The state came to UNISON with the nation and the
:34:57. > :35:01.nation did the same, the exact thing. Notes citizen should have or
:35:02. > :35:06.no institution should have the slightest concern with regard to
:35:07. > :35:11.democracy, the rule of law and the fundamental rights and freedoms, the
:35:12. > :35:14.state of emergency declared by our government has the purpose of
:35:15. > :35:21.protecting those furry values from attacks against those, that is the
:35:22. > :35:28.main principle. -- those very values. We took similar steps in the
:35:29. > :35:32.face of terrorist incidents, we simply cannot be compared to what
:35:33. > :35:36.has happened in Turkey and those who did not voice their concerns in the
:35:37. > :35:41.face of those incidents have no right to criticise this decision
:35:42. > :35:50.that we have made, they should first look at their own cells, we do not
:35:51. > :35:57.want the appreciation of anyone, they should simply stay out of our
:35:58. > :36:02.way. This nation has the might to determine its own destiny, everyone
:36:03. > :36:05.should know that. And I would like to especially underlying that the
:36:06. > :36:10.declaration of the state of emergency has the sole purpose of
:36:11. > :36:16.taking the necessary measures in the face of terrorist threat that our
:36:17. > :36:19.country is facing and also protecting democracy, the rule of
:36:20. > :36:28.law and the fundamental rights and freedoms. Especially the domestic
:36:29. > :36:32.and international actors of our economy shouldn't have the slightest
:36:33. > :36:35.concern with regard to the implementation of the state of
:36:36. > :36:47.emergency, they should have no hesitation whatsoever. Now, SNP
:36:48. > :36:54.might have downgraded Turkey's credit rating from static negative,
:36:55. > :36:59.the outlook, but what do you have to do with Turkey, Turkey is not a
:37:00. > :37:03.member of yours, this organisation, the institution, did similar things
:37:04. > :37:08.previously and we told them we no longer wanted to have ties with them
:37:09. > :37:12.and we put an end to those ties. Now they are declaring a political
:37:13. > :37:19.decision in their own mind, their own consideration, it is a way for
:37:20. > :37:25.them of thinking maybe this will sort out the investment in Turkey,
:37:26. > :37:28.you had better not to meddle with Turkey, not mess with Turkey, you
:37:29. > :37:33.did the same thing in the past, it did not work and it will not work
:37:34. > :37:36.this time because we will remain determined, we will continue the
:37:37. > :37:44.investment and you will see this is the case. We inaugurated the bridge
:37:45. > :37:51.under the 26th of August we will be inaugurating the other bridge, on
:37:52. > :37:55.the 20th of centre, God willing, we will be inaugurating the Eurasian
:37:56. > :38:02.tunnel crossing under the sea in the Bosporus so... This decision of
:38:03. > :38:07.yours will not mean anything because we will continue with these
:38:08. > :38:13.investments and these inaugurations. So this assessment does not impact
:38:14. > :38:21.the reality of the Turkish economy, in these times, they can do
:38:22. > :38:28.anything. They, in fact, wait for and look for these kinds of Mormons.
:38:29. > :38:32.-- moments. They will start spreading viruses in the markets,
:38:33. > :38:40.they will start taking different kinds of steps. But let me be very
:38:41. > :38:44.clear about one point. Turkey in the upcoming period, will continue its
:38:45. > :38:50.economic reforms without any interruption, especially incentives
:38:51. > :38:57.with regard to increasing savings. The Central Bank also had very nice
:38:58. > :39:03.news, good news to share. It alleviated some concerns and removed
:39:04. > :39:07.some obstacles and I think it will continue in the same vein, there
:39:08. > :39:13.will be no problem of liquidity in the market, it isn't the case, it
:39:14. > :39:19.will not happen. And we will remain very sensitive with regard to the
:39:20. > :39:28.markets functioning and we will pursue a rational economic policy so
:39:29. > :39:32.we will never sacrifice from financial discipline and we will
:39:33. > :39:36.continue as always. I would like to wish that the national security
:39:37. > :39:40.council meeting that we held today and the meeting of the Council of
:39:41. > :39:48.ministers that followed, will be beneficial for our nation and what I
:39:49. > :39:51.have a to my nation is this. People should not say, oh no, there is a
:39:52. > :40:01.state of emergency that has been declared. Well Governor step out of
:40:02. > :40:05.office and will be Armed Forces take control? No, of course not, it will
:40:06. > :40:09.not happen, quite on the contrary, the powers and the authorities of
:40:10. > :40:16.our governors will be further expanded and reinforced. The Armed
:40:17. > :40:20.Forces will be in the service of our governors and under their command
:40:21. > :40:27.and control and they will be part of the process. And we have never
:40:28. > :40:36.sacrificed anything from democracy and we will never do so in the
:40:37. > :40:41.future. And the Armed Forces remain under the instructions of the
:40:42. > :40:46.government and they will act in unison with the government. And as
:40:47. > :40:55.for the provision of our Constitution... As the President
:40:56. > :41:06.elected to office by this nation, as the commander-in-chief, I will also
:41:07. > :41:11.attend to it so that all of the viruses within the Armed Forces will
:41:12. > :41:14.be cleansed, if other institutions, the Turkish national police and
:41:15. > :41:20.others, as you have been observing, the cleansing is continuing and we
:41:21. > :41:23.will remain very determined in cleaning all of these institutions
:41:24. > :41:29.from these elements because it is very similar to a cancer virus. It
:41:30. > :41:33.is like a metastases that is going on in the body that has Turkey, that
:41:34. > :41:37.has this nation and we will clean it out so that the nation will continue
:41:38. > :41:43.to live in peace and tranquillity and will remain hopeful of their
:41:44. > :41:48.future. I would like to remind this to my people, to my nation. Do not
:41:49. > :41:58.have any concerns. There is no reason to have any concerns. Turkey
:41:59. > :42:02.has overcome this challenge. And Turkey will continue, will come out
:42:03. > :42:09.of that as a stronger nation by investing more. And I would like to
:42:10. > :42:13.again, convey my heartfelt emotions to all of you, may Allah protect all
:42:14. > :42:22.of you. APPLAUSE
:42:23. > :42:30.The Turkish President Erdogan are doing a live address on television.
:42:31. > :42:34.In that he has after many hours of meetings with his security council
:42:35. > :42:39.declared a three-month state of emergency. He said, to be able to
:42:40. > :42:44.situation following the attempted situation following the attempted
:42:45. > :42:48.coup in Turkey on Friday night. He said thanks to the determined stance
:42:49. > :42:55.of him and his government, the coup plot did not succeed, it amounted to
:42:56. > :42:59.nothing, the citizens of Turkey said no but many thought he might,
:43:00. > :43:02.President Erdogan announcing a three-month state of emergency. He
:43:03. > :43:07.said, don't be frightened, scared of the state of emergency, there is no
:43:08. > :43:11.reason to have any concerns, Turkey will emerge as a stronger nation. We
:43:12. > :43:16.will have plenty more on the situation in Turkey and reaction to
:43:17. > :43:17.that speech by President Erdogan here on Outside Source in a few
