Concerts this is Outside Source. A firefighter has been jailed after an | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
Emirates air plane crash landed and caught fire at Dubai Airport. All | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
the passengers and crew were unhurt. The Olympic opening ceremony still | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
two days away but the sporting action has started. Sweden beat | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
South Africa 1-0 in the first round of the women's football. Live in | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Washington in half an hour, more Republicans have said they will be | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
voting for Hillary Clinton rather than Donald Trump. His campaign | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
manager says the Trump campaign is in great shape. British police | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
famously don't carry guns but from today there will be more armed | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
police in London as a response to terror attacks in Europe. We'll hear | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
from our security correspondent on the pros and cons. In the UK a judge | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
has ruled a woman who says she has been held by her father against her | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
will in Saudi Arabia must be allowed to return to Britain. | :01:10. | :01:26. | |
An Emirates aeroplane with passengers on board has crash landed | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
at Dubai International Airport. Authorities say all passengers were | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
evacuated safely but a firefighter has died tackling the blaze. Images | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
show lacks smoke coming from the plane, a Boeing 777. It appears to | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
be lying crumpled on its belly. It was travelling from Kamala in India | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
to Dubai. Flights to and from Dubai Airport where suspended after the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
incident. Here's Richard Westcott to tell us more. -- Kerala. You can | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
only imagine what it must have been like for everyone on board. A normal | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
landing turns to chaos as the aircraft skips along on its belly, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
smoke pouring from the cabin. It gets even worse. An explosion, | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
probably fuel, sends a piece of the aircraft spinning through the air. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
We don't know if everyone was off at that stage. 300 people escaped down | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
these inflatable slides. They say they got no warning anything was | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
wrong. We had not heard any announcement of anything, it was a | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
big noise. Smoke was coming inside. Immediately they asked us to run | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
away. We escaped from the emergency exit. We were jumping down. All the | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
people were shouting. All the children and women. All the people | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
were shouting. Crying. This is what it looked like from another aircraft | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
sitting nearby. We saw this plane on its side, wings down, on fire, it | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
was horrific, we saw the whole thing, it was crazy. The chairman of | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Emirates says everything seemed fine as the aircraft approached Dubai. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Yet the plane doesn't seem to have had its wheels down when it hit the | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
ground. We don't yet know whether it was down to mechanical problem, | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
mistake by the pilot, or a bit of both. It's incredible all the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
passengers walked away from this alive. Any more details on that, | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
we'll bring them to you through the programme. Now let's go to Rio, the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Olympic Games officially opened on Friday that the first events are | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
underway. The first round of the women's football began earlier. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Sweden beating South Africa 1-0, Canada beating Australia 2-0 and | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Brazil and China plane. Brazil winning with 1-0 lead. -- Brazil and | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
China are playing. The Court of Arbitration for Sport have upheld | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
the bounds of eight Russian weightlifters. We're hearing that | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
from Reuters. We expect to find out more about which Russians will be | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
allowed to compete. It is expected in the coming days. Our | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
correspondent is on Copacabana beach where just a few hours ago the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Olympic torch arrived. Where else would you rather be? Copacabana | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
beach here in Rio. It's been overcast, feels a little bit like | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
London weather here today. A typical scene as you can see, people playing | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
football, doing their thing as Brazilians often do. Doesn't matter | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
what the temperature is, they'll be out in the water. I'll give you a | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
sense of what we can see. A pretty lovely spot here. We can see one of | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
the Olympic venues. Take a look. This is going to be home to beach | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
volleyball. It will host its first game on Saturday. Italy against | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
Austria. We're 48 hours away from the start of the official ceremony | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
of the Rio 2016 games, a few hours ago the Olympic torch arrived here | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
in the city. It's had an epic journey of 20,000 kilometres around | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
Brazil. Where it finally made its way to the Naval school here are a | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
few hours ago. What it's going to be doing is doing the rounds in | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
working-class neighbourhoods here, in downtown Rio, before it makes its | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
way to the Maracana Stadium. Before Friday night and the key opening | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
ceremony. I want you to stay with me. You talk about getting around | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
the city, that the torch is going to try and do. Something else we're | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
hearing about, traffic. Take a look at this index. If we take a look at | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
number four, Rio is the fourth worst city in the world for congestion. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Some are worried the special traffic regulations, given priority to VIP | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
visitors and athletes, might make things worse. I'm curious to hear | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
what you've seen and heard when it comes to this legendary traffic. | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
Your index is spot on, because Rio is renowned for suffering from | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
terrible traffic jams. We experienced it. Every day since | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
we've been here we've been stuck in traffic jams crossing from the South | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
zone to the west where we are staying, which is taking about an | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
hour and 45 minutes, even two hours in some cases. Speak to the locals | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
and they say, that's Rio, it's what we are all about here, bit of | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
traffic never hurt anybody. We have to remember the fact half a million | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
foreign visitors are going to be here in the city, many have arrived | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
already for the next three weeks, to be spectators of these Rio games. In | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
everybody's mind, what impact that will have on the traffic situation | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
here, the Olympic flame is our up and running. We went through them | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
today and they are making a difference. We were able to sail | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
through... Cut in half an hour of our time journey. As soon as the | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
games start next week, we'll get the sense whether they are making the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
difference they are intended to. And the new Metro line connecting the | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
central part of Rio to the West so, which is where the Olympic Park is, | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
whether run-off that is doing the job getting passengers through | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
safely and quickly. Thanks for the update from Copacabana Beach. One | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
armed officers will patrol the streets of London from today in | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
response to a recent series of violent attacks in Europe. The | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Metropolitan Police announced in January it was increasing the number | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
of officers that would carry guns. Increasing it by 600. It will bring | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
the total to 2800 armed officers for the Metropolitan Police. I want to | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
show you why this is coming about. These are some of the latest | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
incidents in Europe. Last month France, in Nice, 84 people were | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
killed when a lorry ploughed into a large crowd. Munich, nine people | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
died at a shooting in a shopping centre. In November last year, gun | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
men and suicide bombers killed 130 people in Paris. This is what the | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Mayor of London had to say about this development. It's really | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
important Londoners are reassured the police services, the security | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
service, we all doing our bit to keep Londoners in our city safe. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Londoners will see more armed response officers, they will see | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
more armed response vehicles, the threat level hasn't changed. We're | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
learning lessons from Europe, from Neath, from Paris. We ensuring not | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
only do Londoners feel safe, that people recognise our police service | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
will do our bit to keep us all safe. Police and guns often go hand in | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
hand, it's true for the majority of European police agencies who give | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
firearms to their officers. It's not the case in the UK, Ireland, Norway | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
and Iceland. In these countries they don't all carry guns on their | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
person. I got to speak to the BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
and asked him how much of this was really about perception. It's never | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
going to stop a completely determined secretly developed | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
terrorist attack hatched in secret using communications that can't be | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
intercepted. This policy really stems from the Mumbai attacks, | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
remember in 2008, a group of terrorists came from Pakistan, got | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
into Mumbai, they held a large number of people hostage in hotels. | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
They walked through the station shooting people at will. They killed | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
about 160 people. The police force in Britain and in a number of | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
European countries sat down and thought, right, if this happens here | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
in our country, in our capital, could we cope with it? The answer | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
was, predominantly, no. The police didn't have the firepower to deal | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
with those powerful automatic weapons. To some extent, the French | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
have this problem in January last year in the Charlie Hebdo attacks. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
You had gun men going into the offices with Kalashnikovs and being | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
faced by police with tiny pistols. The police were outgunned. What has | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
happened in Britain is for the last few years they've been building | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
mobile armoury is that drive around London in special marked cars, | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
locked wannabes with firearm trained officers. They are never more than | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
six minutes away from the street. The problem comes if it comes | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
outside a big city like London. It'll take longer to get those sort | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
of armed policemen to them. I was thinking about Nice, spoke to an | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
eyewitness at the time, a young person watching the fireworks. They | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
said, this is before the lorry attack, there were plenty of police | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
around that were armed, yet they still weren't able to stop an attack | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
like the truck driver who drove into all those people. If you look at the | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
videos of Nice, the police were firing tiny pistols. I'm not saying | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
it's a great thing to have people with huge weapons on our streets, I | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
love the fact I've grown up in the country largely free of firearms... | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
But the weapons the police had in France both in January last year and | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
down on the Boulevard in Nice, they weren't powerful enough to stop that | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
vehicle or the gunman in Paris straightaway. The sort of weapons | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
you see the police carrying in Britain, when you see armed police, | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
are very powerful state automatic weapons that pack serious punch. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Because they need that if terrorists ever get hold of automatic weapons | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
and use them in a crowded public space, God forbid. Business coming | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
up shortly. We'll get the latest on Tesla motors. It's just released its | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
latest set of results. Three members of Ukip's National | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
executive committee have resigned in protest after the MEP Stephen Woolfe | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
was excluded from the party leadership contest. The favourite to | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
replace Nigel Farage 70 minute late submitting his papers and Mr Woolfe | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
gave this reaction. The NEC have given a reason, they said my | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
application was not in time, I provided them with evidence to show | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
I started the process an hour and ten minutes before. They took a | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
simple process of transferring money, which most people do in 30 | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
seconds, 30 minutes. The bottom I was pressing to say submit wouldn't | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
work for nearly 30 minutes. -- the button. I believe the committee have | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
their own reasons for doing so. I'm delighted so many members have been | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
contacting myself and my office. Asking me not to resign from the | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
party, but to resolve the issues of radically changing our party and | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
removing the NEC, one of the promises I made in my manifesto. | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story: an | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
Emirates air plane crash landed and caught fire in Dubai earlier. One | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
firefighter was killed and closed one of the world's busiest airports. | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
Let's look at some of the stories are language services are working | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
on. Rebels from the freezer Syrian army in Aleppo posted this footage | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
which they say shows them planting a huge tonne bomb under the city. The | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
rebels are trying to break the government siege of the opposition | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
held areas. BBC Arabic has more on that. A bridge spanning a river in | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
western India has collapsed. The local official says two bosses were | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
swept away by the swollen waters and up to 20 people are missing. A city | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
in China is testing an elevated bus that can carry commuters over cars | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
travelling on the road underneath. It carries up to 300 passengers at a | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
time, only cars less than two metres I can drive underneath the bus. Some | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
say it means it can cause accidents. There is more on that on BBC News | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
app. In the past few hours the High Court | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
here in London has ruled that this girl must be allowed to return to | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Britain from Saudi Arabia. She says her father has kept her locked up in | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. She's now 21. She also claims she was taken | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
four years ago by her father from the family home in Swansea. Which is | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
in Wales. That is where she was born and brought up. The father denies | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
allegations. Sarah Campbell has been following this case and can tell us | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
more. The judge described it as a complicated but important case. I | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
mean, the 21-year-old girl at the centre of it, wasn't able to be in | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
court to give evidence in person. Her evidence was from snatched phone | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
conversations, e-mails. It ultimately proved a compelling case. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
The judge agreed she had effectively been imprisoned by her father when | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
he had taken her to Saudi Arabia when she was 16, in 2012. He said he | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
justified it by saying that in Swansea she had been living in a | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
toxic lifestyle he described it as, that his daughter had been taking | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
drugs, drinking, consorting with older men, and that he had wanted to | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
take her away. In doing so he said he saved her life. In Jeddah, Amina | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
described how she'd been locked up for several hours a day while her | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
father was at work. During that time she sometimes had no access to food, | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
water, even toilet facilities. He put bars up near the window so she | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
couldn't shout to people outside. The result of that today is that the | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
judge, Mr Justice Holman, issued an order that her father should | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
immediately pay for a flight so she could be back in the country by | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
September 11 at the latest. That order, they are not able to enforce | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
it, right? There's no bilateral deal between Britain and Saudi Arabia. | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
That's right. The ruling here wouldn't be recognised by the Saudi | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
legal system. It's based on the factory has dual nationality, she's | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
a citizen as well as Saudi nationality. The judge said | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
difficult legally speaking. He said it's not a reason not to do it, he | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
said to do nothing would amount to dereliction of duty to Amina, in | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
effect, giving up on her. It must be remembered her father's wife and | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
siblings, many of them are still living in Swansea, so the judge said | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
there would be a reason for Mohammed, her father, to come back | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
to the UK. And if he did so, and if he ignored this order, he would be | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
in contempt of court. So it would be punishable. But only punishable if | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
he chose to come back to England and Wales. Thanks to Sarah Campbell for | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
that. To some business. We want to bring you breaking news coming in | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
the past couple of minutes. From Tesla motors. They say they've | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
reported 13 straight quarterly loss... | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
Lets get more details on the story that's just coming in. Samira | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
Hussain is in New York. Why... 13th quarterly loss is it? If anyone was | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
expecting Tesla to turn a profit this quarter they would have been | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
sadly mistaken. That said, the charismatic CEO, Elon musk, has said | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
the promises to turn a profit by the end of this year. It's really what | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
investors are going to be wanting to hear more about. Whether or not he's | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
still on track to do that. Part of the reason in this quarter they | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
didn't make a profit was because they really ramped up how many cars | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
they were making in this quarter. It has been a problem Tesla has had, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
keeping up with demand. Also keeping up with the production deadlines | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
they set for themselves. In this quarter they have been able to meet | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
the number of cars they said they would build. And they've exceeded | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
that. It's something that doesn't always happen for the electric car | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
companies. The people looking for cars are happy. You mentioned the | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
investors, probably not. Musk will need to speak to them. What does he | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
need to say to convince them to stay with them? The investors are going | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
to have a lot of questions for Elon musk. Earlier this week we talked | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
about a big acquisition by Tesla motors, buying solar city in an all | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
stock deal. Another company that has yet to turn profit. Investors will | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
have a lot of questions about bad. There will be safety concern that | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
investors will ask about. We've spoken on this programme about an | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
injury and death as a result of one of the autopilot features on one of | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
the Tesla cars. There will be questions about bad. Of course, as I | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
mentioned earlier, is Tesla finally going to be able to turn a profit? | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Investors are now starting to get anxious. If you buy Tesla stock and | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
you are into it it's because you believe in the vision. At a certain | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
point investors will be saying, we believe in your mission, but we want | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
to see some dollars and cents. Samira Hussain speaking to us from | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
New York. We're going to speak to another entrepreneur late in the | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
show about travelling to the moon. Coming up in about 20 minutes. Now | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
we turn to India, the parliament has agreed to implement the goods and | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
service tax, the biggest tax reform since independence. It plans to | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
integrate India economically. This is the slogan "One nation one | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
marketplace." Voting time starts now. Ten years in | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
the making and after hours of final debate, this is the moment Indian | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
politicians voted for the country's most revolutionary tax change since | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
independence. But while all eyes are on Parliament, its places like this | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
that will really feel the impact. Making tools for India's auto | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
sector, this firm employs dozens of people just to file the paperwork | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
associated with countless taxes. The new system should make thing of the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
past. Letting it uses staff more productively. A lot of our time is | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
wasted in all of these things. Paperwork, collecting forms, there | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
is no point wasting so much energy and all these things. It's better to | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
do something fruitful which get your business a boost. Pick up on sales. | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
It will reduce costs. Products made in one state in India get taxed | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
multiple times before they reach the consumer in another corner of the | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
country. Which means added costs and delays. Experts say GST will be a | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
welcome change. It will be definitely better than what the | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
current regime is, there will be efficiency for industry, especially | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
in the case of manufacture. Fundamentally I believe there will | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
be change, efficiency. The degree of efficiency is what we'll have to | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
wait and see. Now it's down to worth checking out the nitty-gritty | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
details and, at the same time, a huge IT system will need setting up | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
and tax collectors will require training. For companies mean and | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
overhauling the business processes. This is just the beginning of the | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
biggest tax reform India has ever attempted. | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
From India, let's turn to Turkey, for the latest in the aftermath of | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
the attempted coup last month. Over 200 people died that night. The | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
government said the mastermind was this man. A character based in the | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
United States. The government response has been widespread | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
crackdown on people it believes are linked to him. There have been | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
60,000 public sector employees either detained, arrested or | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
suspended. A significant amount of them were from the education | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
Ministry. Almost 40 3000. About half of this number are teachers | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
suspended from their post. Let's change from education to the media. | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
The state shut down 142 media outlets and detained thousands of | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
journalists. Now it has reached the world of sport. The BBC's Jonathan | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Head brings a more in-depth look from Istanbul. | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
This is the home of Besiktas football club, one of the top three | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
teams in Turkey. You won't find another country that has such a | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
passion for the beautiful game. You might think last month's coup might | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
have nothing to do whatsoever with this sport, but we've heard to date | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
105 officials in the Turkish football Federation have been fired | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
because of alleged links to the network that has been blamed for the | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
coup, the entire federation itself has resigned to allow itself to be | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
fully investigated. We are starting to see that kind of investigation | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
going on in all areas of life. This isn't the first time football has | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
been connected with this Gullen network. Five years ago Besiktas's | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
great rival, Fenerbahce, had a match fixing scandal which saw its | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
chairman jailed. We are being told that investigation was due to | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
Gullenist manipulation. He has been released now. We will see far | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
greater efforts by authorities to dig into where there is Gullenist | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
influence. Teachers losing their jobs, Foreign Ministry officials, | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
airline officials, the science Council raided today. This attempt | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
to weed out the Gullenist network is going to go a long way and affect | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
pretty much all areas of Turkish life. If you want an example of just | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
how far the post-coup purges going, have a look at this IVF fertility | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
clinic on my left. According to the notice it has been shut down because | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
of unspecified links to last month's events. The owner of the clinic has | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
gone on record as saying he and his staff had nothing to do with the | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
coup, but for the moment it doesn't function. He cited it legally. It | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
gives some sense of the fear and paranoia in this country about how | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
deep the network and the Gullenist operations went in Turkish society. | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
Perhaps most important focus of the government efforts to deal with the | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
Gullenist network is in the judiciary. This is Istanbul's main | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
court, the so-called Palace of Justice. Nearly 3000 judges and | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
prosecutors have been fired in the wake of the coup. It was through the | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
judiciary the Gullenist network was alleged to have expanded influence. | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
The judiciary and police using the courts to put many of their rivals | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
in prison. There has to be concerned now over whether the government | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
shaken by the coup and wants to re-establish its own power we'll | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
really be willing to restore a truly independent judiciary. -- will be | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
willing. Stay with us on Outside | :26:05. | :26:05. |
