:01:44. > :01:45.Less than 12 hours after the attempted coup began,

:01:46. > :01:49.walking from tanks with their hands above their heads.

:01:50. > :01:52.Last night, the parliament building in Ankara became the focal

:01:53. > :01:56.The country's President took the video messaging,

:01:57. > :01:58.urging people to come out onto the streets to oppose

:01:59. > :02:06.This was the Bosphorous Bridge in Istanbul.

:02:07. > :02:08.The rebel soldiers stood firm against protesters

:02:09. > :02:16.Some mounted the tanks, grabbing guns from soldiers's hands.

:02:17. > :02:21.This man went down to the bridge with his pregnant wife.

:02:22. > :02:24.He showed me the photos of the tanks and the crowds.

:02:25. > :02:27.Army members were brutal, they were sending bombs

:02:28. > :02:31.to people from tanks, passing by people, my friends

:02:32. > :02:35.who were on the bridge, on Bosphorous Bridge,

:02:36. > :02:42.This morning the bridge was reopened.

:02:43. > :02:45.The reminders of last night's action removed from sight.

:02:46. > :02:48.Life here may be starting to return to normal, and the government says

:02:49. > :02:51.they have things under control, but they are still asking people

:02:52. > :02:56.to remain on the streets the protest until all of this is over.

:02:57. > :03:06.The Prime Minister has condemned what happened.

:03:07. > :03:09.TRANSLATION: What happened on July 15th was a black stain

:03:10. > :03:13.The people who attacked the civilians with the bombs, tanks,

:03:14. > :03:17.planes and helicopters of the state are worse than the PKK terrorists.

:03:18. > :03:21.More than 2.5 million Brits visit Turkey every year.

:03:22. > :03:25.Those currently in the country have been told to stay indoors.

:03:26. > :03:27.The new Foreign Secretary said the UK remains very concerned

:03:28. > :03:33.They're working very hard, as you can imagine, to do the best

:03:34. > :03:36.for the many Brits that are there, and who are there on holiday.

:03:37. > :03:40.They should follow the travel advice and we will do our best to update

:03:41. > :03:46.Meanwhile, flights in and out of the country are still chaotic.

:03:47. > :03:49.Some have been cancelled, others diverted, until

:03:50. > :03:58.Well, as we've been reporting, for several hours last night

:03:59. > :04:00.hundreds of Turkish soldiers appeared to have taken control

:04:01. > :04:05.of key areas of the main cities of Ankara and Istanbul.

:04:06. > :04:07.There was little sign of Turkey's political leaders

:04:08. > :04:11.as the plotters took over buildings and media outlets.

:04:12. > :04:14.But crucially, they needed to secure the support of the public

:04:15. > :04:19.and especially the majority of the military

:04:20. > :04:25.Zira Meral from the Centre for Historical Analysis

:04:26. > :04:32.and Conflict Research examines for us now why the coup failed.

:04:33. > :04:38.Turkey's Armed Forces have Turkey's Armed Forces have

:04:39. > :04:43.interfered in politics. They have taken control of the country several

:04:44. > :04:49.times in the last 50 years, forcing governments to step down twice. This

:04:50. > :04:52.is why this coup did not work. No public support. Others started with

:04:53. > :04:55.media campaigns and organised protest. That did not happen here.

:04:56. > :05:02.Even the government's faces critics have come out against the

:05:03. > :05:09.attack. Two, number bashed macro not enough soldiers. They had not nearly

:05:10. > :05:11.enough and their actions were quickly condemned by other parts of

:05:12. > :05:18.the armed service. No bureaucratic support. Physically

:05:19. > :05:23.taking control of a building does not mean you are in control of the

:05:24. > :05:26.state. You need the support of the judiciary and the bureaucracy. The

:05:27. > :05:31.government has suspended people to prevent that.

:05:32. > :05:38.No international support. All governments have expressed their

:05:39. > :05:46.condemnation. And the biggest problem was the

:05:47. > :05:48.contradiction in their aims and methods. They claim they were

:05:49. > :06:05.supporting democracy. Given the thousands of people out on

:06:06. > :06:14.the street, waving the Turkish flag as celebration over -- for the

:06:15. > :06:17.ritual democracy. Not just supporters of President Erdogan,

:06:18. > :06:20.also people who support various opposition parties have been

:06:21. > :06:26.celebrating the defeat of this coup attempt. Those were pictures from

:06:27. > :06:35.Istanbul and this is Ankara now. This is the scene live there. As you

:06:36. > :06:40.can see, people out in force, and celebrating what has been seen by

:06:41. > :06:45.some commentators as a victory for people power. And a victory for

:06:46. > :06:53.democracy in Turkey. But clearly, huge questions ahead for political

:06:54. > :06:59.stability in Turkey and for the nature of President Erdogan's rule.

:07:00. > :07:02.It was a huge challenge to his authority, this coup attempt. But

:07:03. > :07:09.some commentators say you might have been strengthened by the fact that

:07:10. > :07:15.the coup attempt was put down. And as we are hearing, the country now

:07:16. > :07:21.under control of the authorities. Almost 3000 soldiers arrested and a

:07:22. > :07:22.death toll of around 265. Many of them civilians, killed during the

:07:23. > :07:26.violence in Istanbul and Ankara. The Turkish President has called

:07:27. > :07:29.on the United States to extradite a Muslim cleric he accuses

:07:30. > :07:31.of being behind the country's President Erdogan said US should

:07:32. > :07:35.hand over Fethullah Gulen, because the segments of the army

:07:36. > :07:38.which had carried out the attempted President Erdogan's government

:07:39. > :07:43.officially designated Gulen's religious movement a terrorist

:07:44. > :07:49.group in May. Fethullah Gulen, who lives

:07:50. > :07:51.in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, has

:07:52. > :07:55.denied any involvement. Speaking from the United States,

:07:56. > :07:59.he said he condemned the attempted The two men were once allies,

:08:00. > :08:04.but President Erdogan has frequently accused the cleric of trying

:08:05. > :08:08.to seize power from Dr Henri Barkey is the Director

:08:09. > :08:16.of the Middle East programme at the Woodrow Wilson International

:08:17. > :08:19.Center for Scholars in Washington. He's currently in Istanbul

:08:20. > :08:28.and he joined me a short time ago. He told me that those behind the

:08:29. > :08:34.coup took a huge gamble. They thought that if they started

:08:35. > :08:37.a coup, that the rest And unfortunately

:08:38. > :08:40.for them, they did not know their history -

:08:41. > :08:46.there were two such coups in 1962 and 1963

:08:47. > :08:49.where junior officers tried thing and in both of these

:08:50. > :08:52.cases they lost. In Turkey, if you are going to have

:08:53. > :08:56.a successful coup, it is the top generals who have to take

:08:57. > :08:58.the initiative and control So junior officers do not

:08:59. > :09:11.have a successful track record. We are looking at the rebel soldiers

:09:12. > :09:12.surrendering. What motivated them, what was it

:09:13. > :09:20.about President Erdogan's government that made these soldiers

:09:21. > :09:23.want to try and overthrow him Look, the military, given

:09:24. > :09:28.the institutional prerogatives, given its history, has always been

:09:29. > :09:38.posed to Islamic tide leaders. -- has always been opposed to

:09:39. > :09:43.Islamic type leaders. To the extent that President Erdogan

:09:44. > :09:45.has won elections but still pursues what they think is a very

:09:46. > :09:49.religious agenda. That has always been

:09:50. > :09:51.problematic for them. The fact that he has consolidated

:09:52. > :09:53.power and trying to change the constitution, there are a lot

:09:54. > :09:57.of people that are upset about this but they don't try to mount

:09:58. > :09:59.a coup, they fight it The problem is that when you have

:10:00. > :10:04.officers and soldiers and they have access to guns,

:10:05. > :10:07.they think they can do things This is a humiliating

:10:08. > :10:15.defeat for them in a way. Because, as I said, things that have

:10:16. > :10:20.happened in the past in Turkey, you realise that they don't

:10:21. > :10:48.learn their lessons. Let's turn our attention to the

:10:49. > :10:52.aftermath in Nice. France's interior minister has called up 12,000 police

:10:53. > :10:59.reservists to boost security over the summer. Let's show you some of

:11:00. > :11:04.the pictures from one of the makeshift shrines that has grown up

:11:05. > :11:13.there. You can see people lighting candles in memory of the dead and

:11:14. > :11:15.injured. In memory of the 84 people killed. President Hollande has

:11:16. > :11:23.declared three days of mourning from Saturday to remember the people

:11:24. > :11:25.killed. Flags at half-mast. Let's get our report from Lucy Williamson

:11:26. > :11:29.with the latest. What makes a local man turn

:11:30. > :11:32.on his community and kill? This is where Mohamed Bouhlel

:11:33. > :11:34.planned his attack. This quiet block of flats

:11:35. > :11:41.on the outskirts of Nice. A blue patterned towel

:11:42. > :11:43.still hanging form the railing. Inside a neighbour showed us

:11:44. > :11:45.where he lived, alone, French officials say

:11:46. > :11:49.he was probably radicalised, but Jasmine told us that she had

:11:50. > :11:53.seen no sign of it. I saw him during Ramadan,

:11:54. > :11:58.with a young woman cuddling him. Jasmine's 14-year-old daughter

:11:59. > :12:04.rang her from the promenade on Thursday, weeping

:12:05. > :12:07.terrified into the phone, not knowing that she was running

:12:08. > :12:13.from the man who lived upstairs. The promenade has now reopened

:12:14. > :12:16.and the brutal reminders of what happened are fading under

:12:17. > :12:21.the buzz of normal life. But this attack left France

:12:22. > :12:28.with some uncomfortable questions, Committed jihadists,

:12:29. > :12:34.or just isolated, angry residents Police are questioning five people,

:12:35. > :12:40.and so-called Islamic state has claimed responsibility

:12:41. > :12:43.for the attack, but France's interior minister says this appears

:12:44. > :12:47.to be a new, much looser kind of affiliation, much harder

:12:48. > :12:53.for the authorities to predict. The far-right leader Marine Le Pen

:12:54. > :12:56.quickly took to social media, France is a great country,

:12:57. > :13:01.she said, and it has the means to defend itself,

:13:02. > :13:05.but because its leaders are puny they don't know how to do

:13:06. > :13:09.this, or even want to. France's leaders say the country's

:13:10. > :13:13.values are the target. Security, liberty, brotherhood -

:13:14. > :13:33.how to honour them all? So 84 people died in the attack and

:13:34. > :13:37.more than 50 others including five children are still in a critical

:13:38. > :13:42.condition in hospital. My colleague has been speaking to the family of

:13:43. > :13:45.one victim. A mother who was hit by the truck as she saved her children.

:13:46. > :13:48.A devoted mother, a victim of the Bastille Day attack.

:13:49. > :13:50.She leaves behind a family consumed with grief, including

:13:51. > :13:58.She was killed trying to save the little one,

:13:59. > :14:01.he says, she pulled him towards her but was hit

:14:02. > :14:05.She died in ten minutes on the way to hospital.

:14:06. > :14:13.The two boys, now motherless, are traumatised.

:14:14. > :14:17.Many families take their children to the shrines to pay their respects.

:14:18. > :14:19.It's a harrowing detail of the attack that the killer

:14:20. > :14:21.could see that he was hitting youngsters -

:14:22. > :14:29.Five children are still fighting for their lives in hospital.

:14:30. > :14:31.It is of course the psychological trauma of the terrible events

:14:32. > :14:35.of Bastille night that will be difficult heal.

:14:36. > :14:38.For those children who survived, the work begins now to stop

:14:39. > :14:46.We offer psychological reassurance, try a little to contain

:14:47. > :14:51.the emotions, because I think we cannot completely stop them.

:14:52. > :14:54.A mother just now asked me if I had some kind of magic pill.

:14:55. > :15:01.Claire and her family, from eastern France, flew into Nice

:15:02. > :15:07.They are on holiday, but the tragedy is a lesson in life

:15:08. > :15:13.They must understand that our world is changing.

:15:14. > :15:19.I hope that it will change for the best, but it is important

:15:20. > :15:21.for them to be here to know that their world is changing

:15:22. > :15:27.Bastille Day will always represent the moment the people

:15:28. > :15:30.of France won their freedom, but for some it will now also

:15:31. > :15:34.represent, because of the murderous actions of one man, fear

:15:35. > :15:49.It's a big moment in the US Presidential race.

:15:50. > :15:51.Donald Trump has been giving his first press conference

:15:52. > :15:54.with the man he's chosen to be his Vice-Presidential running

:15:55. > :15:56.mate - the Governor of Indiana, Mike Pence.

:15:57. > :15:58.The two men have differed in the past on issues such

:15:59. > :16:02.But Republican strategists are hoping the socially conservative

:16:03. > :16:06.Mr Pence will help to broaden Mr Trump's appeal.

:16:07. > :16:08.Speaking in New York, Donald Trump explained why he'd

:16:09. > :16:10.chosen Mike Pence, before the Indiana Governor himself took

:16:11. > :16:22.Governor Pence balanced the budget, produced a surplus, and maintains

:16:23. > :16:27.a $2 billion reserve fund in the State of Indiana.

:16:28. > :16:33.It's also rated AAA - their bonds are AAA.

:16:34. > :16:37.The best, that's as good as you can get -

:16:38. > :16:39.whether you're a company or a State - AAA.

:16:40. > :16:44.Indiana was recently recognised by Chief Executive magazine

:16:45. > :16:48.as the number one State in the Midwest for business - number

:16:49. > :16:56.the frustrations and the hopes of the American people like no

:16:57. > :17:06.We're tired of being told, we're tired of being told that this

:17:07. > :17:13.We're tired of having politicians in both parties in Washington DC,

:17:14. > :17:17.tell us we'll get to those problems tomorrow.

:17:18. > :17:21.And as Ronald Reagan said, we're tired of being told that

:17:22. > :17:24.a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can

:17:25. > :17:29.plan our lives better for us than we can plan them for ourselves.

:17:30. > :17:32.Donald Trump gets it, and he understands

:17:33. > :17:50.That is Mike Pence. I have been asking Jane O'Brien what more we

:17:51. > :17:54.know. The odd thing is that if you had

:17:55. > :17:58.waited for Donald Trump to tell you, you would still be waiting. He spoke

:17:59. > :18:02.for 30 minutes before finally introducing Mike Pence to the stage

:18:03. > :18:07.which is really odd, because the whole idea of this form of highly

:18:08. > :18:12.choreographed introduction is literally to do that, to introduce

:18:13. > :18:16.the person who could become the vice president, to the nation. Mike Pence

:18:17. > :18:19.isn't really well known by most Americans. But Donald Trump

:18:20. > :18:27.effectively delivered his standard stump speech, taking sideswipes at

:18:28. > :18:31.Hillary Clinton and seems to have to remind himself actually, he was

:18:32. > :18:34.there to talk about Mike Pence. The reason that he once Mike Pence on

:18:35. > :18:41.the ticket is because he is everything Donald Trump is not. He

:18:42. > :18:47.has got great Conservative credentials, he is controlled, he's

:18:48. > :18:49.disciplined, not a hothead. He certainly has good working

:18:50. > :18:55.relationships with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and he is in effect an

:18:56. > :19:00.insider. And Donald Trump made it very clear that that is the biggest

:19:01. > :19:05.reason he wants him, because he is fed up with being an outsider. And

:19:06. > :19:11.TV recognises that he needs to gain that credibility with wavering

:19:12. > :19:18.Republicans who will be crucial in getting him into the White House. --

:19:19. > :19:22.and he recognises. Allah is Donald Trump doing in the polls? Is it

:19:23. > :19:26.possible to say how he's being viewed in America, not including

:19:27. > :19:29.this announcement that Mike Pence is as running mate, it is he looking

:19:30. > :19:39.like gaining ground across the country? The Pelz change -- the

:19:40. > :19:43.polls change daily. The race is extremely close. But what is

:19:44. > :19:48.significant is that in terms of general unpopularity, neither

:19:49. > :19:53.Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump well liked by anybody. This is a campaign

:19:54. > :19:57.when we are seeing the two least favoured now up for election. Which

:19:58. > :20:05.makes the whole dynamic of this race very, very strange indeed and could

:20:06. > :20:09.well affect turnout. If you are not enamoured by your Republican or

:20:10. > :20:14.Democrat candidate, you might just stay home. So when picking Mike

:20:15. > :20:19.Pence again, Donald Trump is hoping to boost its own figures and create

:20:20. > :20:24.a ticket that appeals far more broadly to the disenfranchised

:20:25. > :20:28.Americans who led the moment are throwing their weight behind Donald

:20:29. > :20:36.Trump. Jane O'Brien reporting from Washington.

:20:52. > :20:55.American Bill Haas is six shots off the lead after a 69, one clear

:20:56. > :21:00.of England's Andrew Johnston, who posted 70.

:21:01. > :21:09.He is a great competitor, one of the finest to play the game in the last

:21:10. > :21:13.15 or 20 years. I know he is not going to back down and I will try

:21:14. > :21:18.not to, either. So it is going to be tough tomorrow and I will stick to

:21:19. > :21:23.my plan and hit my shots, pick my spots and hopefully I will be good

:21:24. > :21:26.enough by the end of the day. As well as his playing, it doesn't

:21:27. > :21:31.matter what other guys are doing. I have got to go and play a good round

:21:32. > :21:33.of golf, something in the mid-60s to have a good chance.

:21:39. > :21:40.The tourists finished off England's tail with the addition of just

:21:41. > :21:43.12 runs this morning - Yasir Shah took six wickets.

:21:44. > :21:45.And while England got wickets at regular intervals -

:21:46. > :21:47.Chris Woakes has eleven for the match so far -

:21:48. > :21:50.many more runs for Pakistan on Sunday could see England

:21:51. > :22:02.The first innings, we didn't bat very well and we want to put that

:22:03. > :22:05.right. There is a lot of us who want to school some runs and hopefully

:22:06. > :22:10.win the game, but it is going to be tough. They have a good bowling

:22:11. > :22:12.attack and a good leg-spinner who will cause us trouble.
