Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, Welcome to Outside Source live

Britain's new Prime Minister is on her first foreign trip

as leader - she's having dinner in Berlin with the German

Earlier Ms May had a message of unity.

We are not walking away from our European friends. Britain will

remain an outward looking country and Germany will remain a vital

partner and special friend for us. 99 generals are charged

after the attempted coup in Turkey, and the crackdown

on educational The BBC understands that

Sam Allardyce will be named England We'll be live at the Republican

Party convention where Melania Trump's speech writer has

apologized after chunks of what she said sounded exactly

like Michelle Obama's And we'll report from Rio,

where the man in charge of security for the Olympics has told the BBC

how concerned he is about a terror Two of the world's most

powerful women have met - German Chancellor Angela Merkel

and British Prime Minister Theresa May held their first face-to-face

talks, and while they both stressed their common values,

Angela Merkel warned that uncertainty was not

in anybody's interest. Ms May was greeted by Ms Merkel

with a guard of honour. Both national anthems were played

before the two leaders It's Prime Minister May's first

overseas visit as leader, and the More significant. Germany is seen as

key to Britain 's uncoupling from the EU.

The two leaders both spoke to the media with Mrs Merkel

stressing again that there would be no talks before the formal

TRANSLATION: Right from the start, I said after the referendum was

decided that it is now up to the British government to define how it

wishes to see its future relationship with the European

Union, and to then also pursue the following steps, particularly as

regards the process leading up to invoking article 50. Only then will

the proper negotiations start. I've been clear that Brexit means

Brexit, and the United Kingdom is going to make a success of it, but I

also want to be clear here today and across Europe in the weeks ahead,

that we are not walking away from our European friends. Written will

remain an outward looking country and Germany will remain a vital part

and special friend for us. We have centuries of shared history, our

languages and culture are deeply intertwined, in recent decades we

have developed a strong alliance. This was reflected in Her Majesty

The Queen's historic state visit here just over a year ago. It is a

constructive is that I have come here today, to lay the foundations

for a strong relationship in the hours ahead.

Earlier I asked him what he made of the meeting.

It was interesting hearing Mrs May described Britain as a special

friend and talking about the vital partnership between Germany and

Britain. Those are extremely warm words. It just goes to show that,

really, Theresa May wants to prove to Berlin that the Brexit vote was

not about Britain isolating itself. Theresa May also made a joke of the

fact, when she was asked by journalists have the two women got

on, she said we are two women, and she stressed that word, because lots

of parallels are being drawn between them either press and how they will

get on, who like to get down to business and effectively call a

spade a spade. That is what the press has speculated, both Mrs May

and Mrs Merkel have reputations for being drab Matic, nonideological,

and the hope is they will be able to strike a deal, or at least get on

well enough to make a good compromise. There are lots of very

problematic issues in these future talks over Brexit between the EU and

Britain, some of those topics came up in the press conference just now,

talking to journalists, and they were not solved because we are at

the beginning of that process. The BBC's political

correspondent Tom Bateman Some people remark it was hard to

believe his two women had not met properly before, such was the warmth

of the tone of the meeting? It was extremely cordial between the

leaders as they met, not just as first-time as leaders of their own

respective countries but the first time they have met each other. We

have had a working dinner between the two women tonight, in the last

few minutes we understand that a wide range of issues were discussed

between Theresa May and Angela Merkel. They discussed global

challenges, Article 50 and access to the single market and immigration

control. A Downing Street source said tonight that Downing Street is

very encouraged either meetings with Chancellor Merkel, saying there was

free-flowing conversation in the bilateral talks and the dinner,

apparently they established a personal connection, according to

Downing Street, and the relationship and communication channels are open.

That is the key point, Downing Street is seeing this as the start

of the process, a getting to know you session, getting to understand

the way in which this two women will start to negotiate with each other.

As we heard earlier, the press conference, it was striking how

Theresa May was saying we are open to business, we want to remaining

gauged with European partners, but Angela Merkel was saying, look, we

need to know what the UK wants first, what it redlines and

negotiating positions will be, before we make any moves. Amid that,

did we get much by way of a timetable for how long the Brexit

talks will go on and when they will properly begin? We have already

heard from Theresa May that the article 50, the process for the very

start of the negotiations, the process to withdraw, disentangle

ourselves from the EU legislation, will not start before the end of the

year at least. We have got no further on that in the press

conference. Very clearly, the British Government position is that

they want space to think first before they go into the

negotiations. Theresa May say she wants to talk to the Scottish

Government, Welsh and Northern Irish Assemblies, to get a full pic chip

of the negotiating position. As for other positions, other countries

have said they want to get things moving more quickly, we don't want

you were sceptics in our own countries to start getting ideas as

well -- we don't want Eurosceptics. There was not so much pressure from

Angela Merkel about the timing, but it is clear that once the process

begins, in theory, it should take two years to conclude the

negotiations. Before Britain is effectively kicked out of the EU,

unless the other 27 member states agree. But what is clear from both

sides at the moment is that they both want to understand what the

negotiating positions will be before anybody gives the game away about

where they will start. She is meeting President Hollande in

France tomorrow. Thank you, Tom Bateman.

One of the issues they talked about was Turkey.

Turkey has charged 99 generals and admirals in connection

with the weekend's attempted coup - just under a third of the country's

The government has now banned all academics

from travelling abroad, as the purge of state employees

suspected of being connected to the failed coup continues.

So far more than 50,000 people have been rounded up,

at the start of his report upsetting.

Watch the man rushing into the street, ready to die for democracy.

New pictures from the coup attempt show a citizens throwing stones and

then himself in front of a tank to stop it. Unbelievably, he picks

himself up, another rebel tank approaches. Again, he is prepared to

sacrifice himself. Again, he survives. Injured but defiant, he

says it was a GT to defend his country and the president.

TRANSLATION: We heard the tanks were approaching while firing,

all I could do was respond with the three stones that I had,

God protected our president, without the 15 minutes he had

to escape, it would have been a disaster.

Education is being purged. All university deans have been told to

government is clashing Every dean or university professor

we have spoken to by phone has been too afraid to go on camera,

an emboldened president is using what could be a moment

of reconciliation to Last month was the hottest June

around the world in modern history - a record that's been broken

for 14 consecutive months. It was nearly one Celsius

above the average for the 20th That might not sound

much, but it is enough to have a significant effect

on our climate as our science editor This marked the end of our

very brief heatwave. And this comes as scientists reports

that the world as a whole is seeing a record rise in temperatures,

producing a wide range of impact. In California, firefighters

struggle with blazes pushing A heatwave has hit much

of continental Europe this week. This boy in Spain

tries to stay cool. And many tropical coral reefs have

turned white, what's called bleaching, as the waters

get too warm for them. So what do the latest figures

about rising temperatures tell us about a planet

that is getting hotter? This graph from the American weather

agency shows the period January Below average in the first-half

of the century, and then In the past six months

it was more than a degree If we take a closer look,

we can see why scientists are surprised at the scale

of the increase. They say this is partly driven

by the weather pattern El Nino, with warm water in the eastern

Pacific, but also by the greenhouse gases from our pollution,

which the Paris Agreement on climate Scientists researching the climate

say that they have been warning for years that unless those

greenhouse gases are cut, And the impacts are likely

to become more severe. I think we are scarily close

to dangerous levels We have a Paris Agreement now that

says we should not be exceeding 1.5 centigrade of climate change

but unless we start removing emissions over the next decade

or so, that is a threshold that The fear is of more scenes

like this, extreme weather It made this town

look like a war zone. Scientists say a warmer world is set

to see more violent rainfall and this year is on course to be

the hottest on record. We'll hear from BBC Russian in a few

minutes with the latest We've heard today that the Russian

team won't boycott the Olympics, but we don't know yet

if they will be allowed to compete. Theresa May gave a confident

performance at PMQs earlier comments or sting she would like to build a

better country for everyone. She clashed with Jeremy Corbyn of Labour

and offered a few thoughts on his style of leadership.

Interesting that he refers to the situation of some workers who might

have some job insecurity, and potentially unscrupulous bosses. I

suspect there are many members on the opposition benches who might be

familiar with an unscrupulous boss. LAUGHTER

A boss who doesn't listen to his workers, a boss...

CHEERING A boss who requires some of his

workers to double their workloads. LAUGHTER

And maybe even a boss who exploits the rules to further his own career.

Remind him of anybody? This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel

and the British Prime Minister, Both said they want an orderly

British departure from the EU. Other stories making headlines

around the BBC. A prominent journalist in Kiev has

been killed by a bomb planted Pavel Sheremet was originally

from Belarus, but was working in Ukraine for a popular

news website. BBC Ukrainian has

more on that story. French president Francois Hollande

has confirmed that three French It's the first time France admitted

to deploying forces in the country. A fire started in a 75-storey Dubai

apartment block on Wednesday, There were no immediate

reports of injuries. You can see more of these pictures

on the BBC News app. An update now on the

Russia doping scandal. The International Olympic Committee

has announced it will make a decision on whether to ban

all Russian athletes from the upcoming Rio Olympics

within the next week. It follows a report

from the World Anti-Doping Agency which found evidence of widespread

state-sponsored doping in Russia. Meanwhile, the head

of the Russian Olympic Committee has said that Russia would not

boycott the Olympic Games. Famil Ismailov from the BBC's

Russian Service told me more. Lots of things will depend on what

the arbitration court in Lausanne, the sports arbitration court, what

verdict they will give tomorrow, on Thursday. From that we will have an

indication what kind of decision we should expect from the International

Olympic Committee. The worst-case scenario for Russia is a complete

ban on all athletes? I think the worst case scenario would be a

political boycott of the Olympic Games by Russia, that will not

happen, as the head of the Russian national Olympic Committee,

indicated. That is an important point, it means Russia is trying to

find a conciliatory tone, trying to see if they can move ahead without

exaggerating the whole thing all over again. We also heard that Mr

Putin is not meeting the team before it goes to Rio de Janeiro, another

indication that Russian authorities understand that this is a really bad

situation and they are at fault. We mentioned the worst-case

scenario, what would be the best case? How could Russia get out of

this and make the best of it? The best case an aria with the fresh

and athletes, those from the Russian team who were not implicated in the

scandal, so-called clean athlete is not involved in doping scandals, if

they would be allowed to take part in the Rio Olympic Games under the

Russian flag. If that happened, that will probably be the best scenario

for Russia at this moment. A senior British executive at HSBC

has been arrested and charged Mark Johnson, the company's global

head of foreign exchange trading, was arrested on Tuesday night

and is due to appear in court later. A former colleague, Stuart Scott,

has also been charged Let's get more from Michelle

Fleury in New York. What they of? This all has to do

with foreign exchange ringing. -- what are they accused of? Apparently

they misused information to make a profit of around 8 million US

dollars, this is from a transaction they carried out. Mark Johnson

appeared in a Brooklyn court within the last two hours. At the heart of

this is information to make a profit in the currency markets. That point

is important, criminal charges against high-ranking executives, we

have not seen much of that before, it marks a new turn, if you like, in

the US Government 's long-running efforts to clear up currency

trading. Last year, five banks pay billions of dollars to settle claims

they had colluded to fix currency prices. Have we heard from HSBC

about this? They have not made any comments yet. It has been hard to

try to find out more information, both from HSBC or even just waiting

for this complaint to be made public. We had to wait... Even

though Mr Johnson was picked up at JFK airport on Tuesday we had to

wait until the charges were unsealed in court in Brooklyn a couple of

hours ago to find out to be exact details of what he has been charged

with. Then he very much, Michelle Fleury, bringing the latest from New

York. -- thank you, very much. Here in London, Uber has been taken

to court by two of its drivers who claim it's acting unlawfully

by not offering There are tens of thousands of Uber

drivers in the UK. James has been an Uber driver for

almost a year. Like all the others, he is self-employed. Now he is part

of a group taking legal action against the company in what could be

a landmark case. The flexibility is really great, you can switch on the

Apple and work whenever you want. You can stop whenever you want and

go home. The only problem is that if you are not working, you are not

earning, and the earnings are so much lower than I expected, and it's

really starting to bite now. You are noticing it change? Is it more

difficult to make money now than six months ago? Most definitely. The

effect is that there is a certain amount of money you need to earn

each day, you have to stay out longer and longer until you do.

The BBC's transport correspondent has more on exactly what judges

They will basically decide, when given all the evidence about how

these people operate, whether they are workers of the company, which

would mean you would get more rights, things like guaranteed

breaks, holiday pay, sick pay etc, or whether they are self-employed,

in which case Uber argue that they get fantastic flexibility, they can

choose when they were, no set hours, but they are not entitled to things

like holiday pay and sick pay. It revolves around pay as well, there

is a minimum wage in the UK. Uber says they get the minimum wage, the

union say they don't. If you take into account things like the running

costs of the car. There are lots of details to go to. It comes down to

how much these people will be paid for doing the job.

We can take you straight to Ankara, let's hear from President Erdogan.

TRANSLATION: One of its most critical days in history. The

Turkish Armed Forces, within the Turkish Armed Forces, which is the

pride of our nation and country, a group nestled in the Turkish Armed

Forces break -- broke the chain of command and attempted a coup. Those

individuals in this group, understood to be members of a

terrorist organisation, attacked its state and its nation using planes,

helicopters, tanks and all kinds of weaponry. The presidential complex

and the Grand National assembly of Turkey, the premises of the officers

of the Prime Minister, the chief of staff, the General command, the

campus of the Turkish national intelligence agency, the Bosphorous

Bridge and various military units were heavily attacked.

Thanks to the determined stance of me and my Government and, of course,

the fact that our nation stood in the way of the coup plotters and, as

a result of the effective interventions of security forces,

this attempt never succeeded. And in the face of our nation taking

ownership of its country and its determination, the weapons, tanks,

helicopters and planes of the coup plotters amounted to nothing.

Against terrorists in military fatigues, the people stood upright

and took ownership of their homeland and their future, and our nation

wrote epics of heroic bravery throughout the night. We have the

young, the old, the employers, the bosses, the villagers, the urban

settlers, every member of our nation came together as one entity in the

face of this attempt. Our citizens that said no to this Sauternes of

people being shot -- saw tens of people being shot and motorised in

front of their eyes, they saw the arrest people being wounded and

injured. They tried to save those people and those dying... Under

those dire circumstances, continuing resistance until the early hours of

the morning. Thanks to God, everyone that feels themselves to be a member

of this homeland and nation stood in the face of this attempted coup. Our

nation have the sorrow of not being able to save one man and his friends

and colleagues in the aftermath of the coup in 1960. In the aftermath

of the coup in 1980, young people were executed, abiding by the idea

of one from the right and one from the left, and those sufferings are

still fresh in memory. The 15th of July 2016 is a turning point when

the nation put an end to this ill fate. For the first time in the

history of our country, and armed coup attempt was crippled by the

nation itself. Turkey actually proved its allegiance to democracy

and to the rule of law by paying a very high price, which is the lives

of its citizens as a result of the fire and shootings of the coup

plotters. 246 innocent citizens, police officers and military

personnel, lost their lives, 15 -- 1536 innocent citizens were also

wounded. On this occasion, I would like to honour the memory of the

fallen, and I would like to wish speedily DaMarcus Beasley recovery

to the wounded, I would like to convey condolence to relatives and

families of those who lost their lives. I want to be very clear. It

is no time to be dwelling on this or that political party. As the

president of this nation I am proud of my country, my people, and I

believe that with the nation we will overcome all of these obstacles, and

this will go down in the history of democracy. It will be an heroic act

of bravery from the hand of the Turkish nation.

My bill of its citizens, starting from the first moment the coup

attempt became clear, the president, myself, the Prime Minister and the

ministers, security forces and the commanders of the Armed Forces that

stood against the coup plotters, we all came together and worked in very

close collaboration. Despite all dangers and all threats, I headed

out to Istanbul immediately and with my nation, of course, stood against

the coup potters. In the face of the determination and the will of my

nation, the attempt was completely stopped before the evening of the

following day. And today, on the 20th of July, we had a meeting of

the National Security Council, followed by a meeting of the Council

of ministers. The members of the National Security Council came

together, they did comprehensive assessment is and we decided to

recommend to the Government that a state of emergency be declared, as

per Article 120 of the Constitution, in order for us to be able to

speedily and swiftly do the deal with the elements of all the

terrorist organisation. The Council of ministers also abided by that

recommendation and decided to declare a state of emergency for a

duration of three months. As it is now, Article of the 120 Constitution

allows for a state of emergency to be declared in the event of acts of

violence that aim to abolish democracy and cripple fundamental

freedoms. The purpose of the declaration of the state of

emergency is, in fact, to be able to take the most efficient steps in

order to remove this threat as as soon as possible, which is a threat

to democracy, the rule of law and the rights and freedoms of citizens

in our country. This practice is absolutely not against a democracy,

the rule of law and freedoms. Quite the contrary, it has the purpose of

strengthening and protecting these values. The attempted coup that we

experienced clearly showed who is on the side of democracy and rule of

law in Turkey by risking their lives, and who is trying to impose

their dictatorship. Our Government, our political parties, civil society

and the chain of command under the Turkish Armed Forces and, most

important of all, our nation, has always... They have always shown

that their preference is on the side of democracy. On this occasion, I

would like to also convey my deepest gratitude to my citizens that took

to the streets, starting from the night of the 15th of July, that went

to the squares and stayed there. Regardless of their political party,

political thought or faith, all of my citizens stood in the way of

tanks, they are to be likened to the heroes of the Gallipoli battles.

They are to be likened to the Lions, as described by the poet. They stood

in the way of the tanks, and with all of their courage, and they even

reached -- risked being martyrs. And unfortunately we had to part

ways with friends of many years who were killed during the incidents.

So... A lady of 32 years of age was also killed after she was crushed by

a tank. So these people are so heinous as to crash and squash a

young woman by using a tank. That is how cruel these people are so that

lady is now a marker. They did not content with that, they did not

stop, my nation, our nation did not stop, people were shot and wounded,

citizens did not leave their positions and they have proven that

they are indeed the descendants of the war of independence. There were

warplanes flying at low altitude, is fired using heavy weaponry and the

streets were flooded by terrorists in military fatigues. Despite all of

these things, my brothers and sisters did not leave or desert the

streets and heroism, there is no word to describe it. And although

the attempt has now been brought to an end, my citizens have also been

occupying the streets and squares on democracy watch so that the same

thing cannot be attempted again and names will go down in golden letters

in the memory and the history of democracy so even today, starting

from 4pm, people started flocking to the square, there are thousands of

them, tens of thousands of people are elsewhere and we will have a

video conference session with them and I will be addressing those

crowds. One very important point is the following. Ankara, the police

special operations unit and the Ankara police headquarters came

under heavy fire by the coup plotters and despite that they'd

never hesitated and they continued serving their nation and the police

officers and those others who remain in their positions and who fought

until the end is worth of praise. Also we have soldiers within the

Turkish Armed Forces that stood against the attempted coup and some

of them lost their lives and our nation will never forget their

bravery and sacrifice. And there was also a case of a

non-commissioned officer that killed a coup plotter because he could not

obey by an order given to him, he himself was then killed by the

plotters. The governors, the municipalities, starting from the

moment they were notified of this attempt, they used all of their

forces to side with donation, I would like to congratulate all of

the administrators and executives in those places. Similarly I would like

to convey my gratitude to all media outlets and civil society

organisations that sided with the will of the nation against the

attempted coup. My dear nation, fraternity has played the strongest

unity between the state and nation in the face of the attempted coup of

the 15th of July. The state came to UNISON with the nation and the

nation did the same, the exact thing. Notes citizen should have or

no institution should have the slightest concern with regard to

democracy, the rule of law and the fundamental rights and freedoms, the

state of emergency declared by our government has the purpose of

protecting those furry values from attacks against those, that is the

main principle. -- those very values. We took similar steps in the

face of terrorist incidents, we simply cannot be compared to what

has happened in Turkey and those who did not voice their concerns in the

face of those incidents have no right to criticise this decision

that we have made, they should first look at their own cells, we do not

want the appreciation of anyone, they should simply stay out of our

way. This nation has the might to determine its own destiny, everyone

should know that. And I would like to especially underlying that the

declaration of the state of emergency has the sole purpose of

taking the necessary measures in the face of terrorist threat that our

country is facing and also protecting democracy, the rule of

law and the fundamental rights and freedoms. Especially the domestic

and international actors of our economy shouldn't have the slightest

concern with regard to the implementation of the state of

emergency, they should have no hesitation whatsoever. Now, SNP

might have downgraded Turkey's credit rating from static negative,

the outlook, but what do you have to do with Turkey, Turkey is not a

member of yours, this organisation, the institution, did similar things

previously and we told them we no longer wanted to have ties with them

and we put an end to those ties. Now they are declaring a political

decision in their own mind, their own consideration, it is a way for

them of thinking maybe this will sort out the investment in Turkey,

you had better not to meddle with Turkey, not mess with Turkey, you

did the same thing in the past, it did not work and it will not work

this time because we will remain determined, we will continue the

investment and you will see this is the case. We inaugurated the bridge

under the 26th of August we will be inaugurating the other bridge, on

the 20th of centre, God willing, we will be inaugurating the Eurasian

tunnel crossing under the sea in the Bosporus so... This decision of

yours will not mean anything because we will continue with these

investments and these inaugurations. So this assessment does not impact

the reality of the Turkish economy, in these times, they can do

anything. They, in fact, wait for and look for these kinds of Mormons.

-- moments. They will start spreading viruses in the markets,

they will start taking different kinds of steps. But let me be very

clear about one point. Turkey in the upcoming period, will continue its

economic reforms without any interruption, especially incentives

with regard to increasing savings. The Central Bank also had very nice

news, good news to share. It alleviated some concerns and removed

some obstacles and I think it will continue in the same vein, there

will be no problem of liquidity in the market, it isn't the case, it

will not happen. And we will remain very sensitive with regard to the

markets functioning and we will pursue a rational economic policy so

we will never sacrifice from financial discipline and we will

continue as always. I would like to wish that the national security

council meeting that we held today and the meeting of the Council of

ministers that followed, will be beneficial for our nation and what I

have a to my nation is this. People should not say, oh no, there is a

state of emergency that has been declared. Well Governor step out of

office and will be Armed Forces take control? No, of course not, it will

not happen, quite on the contrary, the powers and the authorities of

our governors will be further expanded and reinforced. The Armed

Forces will be in the service of our governors and under their command

and control and they will be part of the process. And we have never

sacrificed anything from democracy and we will never do so in the

future. And the Armed Forces remain under the instructions of the

government and they will act in unison with the government. And as

for the provision of our Constitution... As the President

elected to office by this nation, as the commander-in-chief, I will also

attend to it so that all of the viruses within the Armed Forces will

be cleansed, if other institutions, the Turkish national police and

others, as you have been observing, the cleansing is continuing and we

will remain very determined in cleaning all of these institutions

from these elements because it is very similar to a cancer virus. It

is like a metastases that is going on in the body that has Turkey, that

has this nation and we will clean it out so that the nation will continue

to live in peace and tranquillity and will remain hopeful of their

future. I would like to remind this to my people, to my nation. Do not

have any concerns. There is no reason to have any concerns. Turkey

has overcome this challenge. And Turkey will continue, will come out

of that as a stronger nation by investing more. And I would like to

again, convey my heartfelt emotions to all of you, may Allah protect all

of you. APPLAUSE

The Turkish President Erdogan are doing a live address on television.

In that he has after many hours of meetings with his security council

declared a three-month state of emergency. He said, to be able to

situation following the attempted situation following the attempted

coup in Turkey on Friday night. He said thanks to the determined stance

of him and his government, the coup plot did not succeed, it amounted to

nothing, the citizens of Turkey said no but many thought he might,

President Erdogan announcing a three-month state of emergency. He

said, don't be frightened, scared of the state of emergency, there is no

reason to have any concerns, Turkey will emerge as a stronger nation. We

will have plenty more on the situation in Turkey and reaction to

that speech by President Erdogan here on Outside Source in a few
