mass rallies have been held in turkey to mark the first anniversary of the failed military coup, which resulted in the deaths of at least 260 people. turkey's president erdogan, said the defeat of the plot was a victory for democracy — and promised to punish his enemies. his government has, in the past 12 months, dismissed or arrested 200,000 people, with 7000 today. from istanbul, mark lowen reports. they cold it techy‘s second independence. they remembered the 260 killed as the people stood up to the plotters. last year the tech is

nation tried to the beach strangled... there were bullets, rifles, but they could not strangle. it was the greatest ever attack on the tech state rogue soldiers bombing buildings, blocking roads and driving tanks into civilians. by dawn it had failed. then came the purge, 50,000 arrested and hunted and 50,000 sackler suspended. a year ago there was unity against the cooper denied the opposition says it is not coming here. deep cracks have opened up. this half of the nation believe the 15th ofjuly marked techy‘s rebirth the other says the after match is killing off what was left of turkey's democracy. as night fell the halo arrived, president eder won a match drunk and tightened

his grip. this —— urged stronger and tightened his grip. translator translation: i thank each and every individual member of our nation. elsewhere they are fighting back against the purge, protests in support of two academics on hunger strike for four months since they we re strike for four months since they were fired alongside humans right monument is sealed off, a bleak red bull the turkey's plight. translation: one day your name is on the list and you are struck out, you are killed off by the system. they are killed off by the system. they are ina are killed off by the system. they are in a critical state. they want to live book their demands to be met. i cannot think of the alternative. the celebrations went on beside the new martyrs monument, the dates now edged into this

country for better or worse. a year since the national trauma and turkey still torn. mark, as you say it is a year what signs are there that the president can bring unity to the country? frankly, there are very few signs at all. a week ago a million people rallied here in istanbul against the eder won government, against the master missal is counting the word "justice. " will stop he labelled terrorist supporters, over the past year the two sides of the country has grown dramatically further part, and techy have grown further apart from the west, carson has opened up from the west, carson has opened up from the west, carson has opened up from the eu. a couple of months ago the president was naming the dutch and german leaders as nazis. it is a dangerous moment to be in, the west

needs this country it is vital nato member, candidate for european union membership, a crucial pillar of stability previously in the middle east. the west cannot afford to lose this country. a year on from the failed coup and turkey itself feels like it has lost its way. tony blair has suggested that european leaders might be prepared to offer a compromise on the free movement of people. his comments have been dismissed by senior conservative and labour figures. political risk... balancing the needs of the uk economy at the same time as getting control of britain's borders is a key issue in the brexit debate but a former labour prime minister has suggested political change in france has opened the path to compromise.

tony blair claims the eu could be willing to make concessions on the on the free movement of people to allow the uk to stay in a reformed eu. britain benefits enormously from that freedom of movement. however the question is, where there are changes to it, not alteration in the visibility of the printable but qualifications to it, around the things that concern people. but those claims directly contradict what those in brussels are saying, that the uk must accept free movement without exception or new ones. i'm not going to disclose conversations i had within europe, but am not saying this on the basis of a whim. some of those who campaigned to leave the eu says there is no evidence to back up his claim. the eu has made it absolutely clear that the four freedoms including freedom of movement are not divisible. the chief negotiator said that. they took four minutes to read his guidelines, there is no debate in the eu. it's complete nonsense, another attempt to undermine brexit. campaigning in southampton

the current labour leader rejected the position of his predecessor and says his party respects the result of the referendum. anyone is entitled to give their views and i listen to all of them. the views we have is that we want to see tariff free access to the european market, protection of eu national and of the rights and consumer rights we achieved through european union membership. this latest intervention from tony blair will not change the government's approach to negotiations. ministers say the former labour prime ministers demonstrating again that he is out of touch with voters yet mr blair has reopened the debate on the central issue of brexit, a decision he says is the biggest country has faced since the second world war. once he helped determine britain's place in the world. now this former prime minister must settle with commenting from the sidelines. eleanor garnier, bbc news. five counts of grievous bodily harm,

three counts of robbery and four of attempted robbery, he will appear in court on monday. a second teenager has been released on bail. a 15—year—old girl has died after suffering an adverse reaction to a psychoactive substance, commonly referred to as a ‘legal high‘. the teenager was found unconscious in the early hours of this morning the in a park in newton abbot in devon. she later died in hospital. two other girls were also taken to hospital as a precaution. it is important to me to make sure that people do not misused the term legal highs, it tends to give it some sort of legitimate see, these are all illegal drugs and they are in fact very dangerous because we

don't know what goes into making them up. time and time again we hear people paying the ultimate price for this, it is not worth experimenting with your life. with all the sport — here's lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre... busy day? yes a very busy day. a stunning and surprisingly quick winning for garbine muguruza, she beat the five—time winner venus williams in straight sets. joe wilson reports from wimbledon. the faces gave nothing away, 1a years between them, venus williams arrived in wimbledon like a revolution. 23—year—old garbine muguruza and venus williams. beneath the view amplified valleys, longer, louder and garbine muguruza was getting better. the first set 7—5, second

set started with a double fault and venus unruffled, even when she threw everything into her shots there was garbine muguruza strong and certain. a new champion, new era much settled bya a new champion, new era much settled by a computer. the final williams a look but there have been many. second set 6—0, garbine muguruza had beaten the player and the reputation. had the hardest match against bean such an incredible player i grew up watching her play. it is been incredible to play the final. what venus experience today was what the deep clean at the williams sisters inflicted on so many opponents here. venus had this message for serena. i try to do the same things you do but i think there will be other opportunities, i do. there is the new champion changed out of her tennis gear and surrounded by old friends and plenty

of new ones here as well. this occasion always stays the same but wimbledon always need someone to handle it a bit differently. it is the new take on tradition which keeps us in the world. —— which keeps us in the world. —— which keeps others and pulled. these players beat french rivals in three sets. england's cricketers have left themselves and uphill battle to avoid losing the second test against africa, they slumped on the second day at trent bridge. meanwhile at the women's world cup england finished top of the round, after thrashing west indies at

back. it helped me out. it was a free school, it set me up grape for my career. it became the first free state funded performing arts school in 1991 with the help of sir richard branching, said george martin. today, former students have returned to inspire the next generation with their own success. i felt instantly like i was in a place where i belonged. it was full of kids from all over the country who were so talented but didn't have the money to go toa talented but didn't have the money to go to a specialist school. we we re to go to a specialist school. we were quite ambitious hungry cloud.

coming through these doors has opened up a virginity is for thousands of students but like many states schools across —— opened up opportunities for thousands of students. the amount of income that the arts generate for this country and what gets given back in return is peanuts. the government white willing to praise success in theatre and so on but are not willing to support it. a vision that started 25 yea rs support it. a vision that started 25 years ago, and new students hoping they can keep the dream alive. you can see more on all of the stories on the bbc news channel but from me and the team here, thank you for watching. good night. hello, this is bbc news. one of two teenagers arrested by police after a series of acid attacks in north london on thursday

night has been charged with 15 offences. among the charges the 16—year—old faces are five counts of grievous bodily harm with intent, three counts of robbery and four of attempted robbery. he'll appear in court on monday. the second teenager has been released on bail. earlier, i spoke to errol lawson, a former gang member now church minister and author to ask him about his experiences about being in a gang, and what can motivate crimes such as acid attacks. i grew up in a single parent family and we went off the rails. there are those who were a similar age to me who didn't go off the rails because they had a great support structure around them. these kids are in communities where that isn't happening, that communities are broken, the homes are broken, they say birds of a feather flock together, where someone gets into a mindset where they feel excluded

from society, there is nothing else to gain from being a decent human being, they get to a place where their moral compass is completely broken and they will do anything to anyone for any reason if they feel it has got some benefit to them, and that is not acceptable. we have to have the conversation about why we've got to the place we are in, and why our young people feel the way they do do, do what they do, if this is across communities across the country, we are seeing the same thing happening. this is just the fruit of it, we better get to the root. what is the root? well, i'm going to say this, there are spiritual principles and values that we need to reach our young people. it is rooted in love, self worth, and respect, but we have seen these communities that are disenfranchised, that are not connected into the mainstream society, and we are leaving their out

there on the fringes, turkey is marking the first anniversary of a failed coup against president erdogan — in which at least 260 people died and more than two thousand were wounded. president erdogan attended a mass rally in istanbul, alongside hundreds of thousands of supporters. since the coup attempt, the government has fired more than 140 , 000 state employees because of suspected links to the plotters. seven thousand more were dismissed on friday. with me is michael daventry — a uk—based journalist on turkish matters. a lot of different events taking place. president erdogan has been speaking at length, what do you think of what he said? he took a

religious stance. he did. it was one of the most pious speeches of his career. we know he is a religious man, but he has always played a careful game when it comes to managing turkey‘s secular system, the foundations on which turkey was built nearly 100 years ago. this time, it wasn'tjust peppered with religious references, it was littered with it. every reference was about how it was a virtuous fight against evil terrorists and how all the people who had died in the coup had all gone to heaven, it was very unusual. i believe he will be in ankara at some point, these events will be going until dawn to mark what was happening on the night a year ago. this was a huge turning point for turkey. it was, and it was amphlett league traumatic. i am turkish myself. i was watching from the uk. it is hard to describe how

the uk. it is hard to describe how the streets you grew up on and played football on, to see tanks going down the road, notjust the middle, but over cars. a part of what has happened today is justified. turkey is angry that this could happen to them and they want to vent some of that anger, at the problem is there was a picture of unity that is being portrayed and it isn't entirely genuine. the failed coup, they wanted to get one over on these people who threatened turkish democracy but what we have seen since then is an overwhelming curtailing of turkish democracy. since then is an overwhelming curtailing of turkish democracym is interesting how turkey has been left with a choice between a military dictatorship and in effect a70 military dictatorship and in effect a 70 and one and that is what has happened in turkey. three or four months ago, a referendum granted president erdogan sweeping new

powers and from the next election, he will be directly elect it president with all sorts of powers. he is very good now as dismissing the opposition as being with the terrorists. his speech will be at 2:30pm local time, precisely a year from when parliament was bombed by people having out a coup. the opposition have been told they will not come to that because they cannot speak the event so there was a very polarised atmosphere, the country is divided right down the middle. even though we are getting this picture of flag—waving people on the streets defending democracy, this isn't the whole picture. even yesterday, we had 7500 dismissals, 150,000 people removed from their posts. how on earth does the country work when so

many state employees are not at work? it is all part of the state of emergency. a friend of mine who got into a property dispute said his court case was delayed because of several months because there was no judge because of the coup, and when thejudge was judge because of the coup, and when the judge was appointed, he was 24 yea rs the judge was appointed, he was 24 years old. there were such a gap between civil service and public office that they are trying to fill positions with anybody they can. 24 isa positions with anybody they can. 24 is a bit young for a judge but it is all they have got. thank you for joining us. those events of course taking place through out the night. the world—renowned iranian mathematician, maryam mirzakhani has died of cancer in hospital in the united states. she was the first—ever female winner of the prestigious fields medal, which is considered the nobel prize for mathematics. the award in 2014 was in recognition of her work on complex geometry. she was 40 years old.

dr tom crawford is a mathematician, who's recently finished his phd in applied maths. he's been telling me how much of a loss maryam mirzakhani will be to the world of maths. of a loss maryam mirzakhani will be first of a loss maryam mirzakhani will be of all, i wantt condolences first of all, i want to offer my condolences to her family and the mathematical world because we have lost a role model, the first woman to reach the pinnacle of maths. what she did is to link geometry and dynamics together. geometry is the shapes and sizes and the position of object around us and dynamics relates to forces and the motion these forces cause, and the two are very intellectual. if you think about our solar system, we have a son and we have planets, and they are in fixed positions, that is the geometry, and the way the planet move, the fact that us on earth goes around the sun in an ellipse, that

is the dynamics of the system. what marianne was able to do was link them together but not in something that we can visualise, she did it in a very abstract world of curved mathematical surfaces and to have that imagination and be able to visualise these things and then to be able to have all these breakthroughs in that field is incredible. it sounds extraordinary. she was a woman in a male dominated world, how significant is her achievement? as i alluded to before, but feels medal is the mathematical equivalent of the nobel prize. the fa ct equivalent of the nobel prize. the fact that it took until 2014 for woman to winds this, it shows just how difficult it is for women in maths and how important it is a legacy that maryam has left behind. if you think about something like physics, married to your reach won the nobel prize for physics in 1903 but it took almost 110 more years

before woman was reaching the top, as high as you can get in the field of maths, and she really was a trailblazer and a fantastic role model for young women who want to go into science and going to maths in particular. why has it been so hard for women to do that?|j particular. why has it been so hard for women to do that? i think a lot of it is it seems to be the professorship level, i'm speaking from experience, i think we are improving, women studying at that school and university and going gone to graduate studies, we are getting better, but it is the next step that once you complete your ph.d., to become a lecturer at university or obtaina become a lecturer at university or obtain a professorship at university, they tend to just seen to go to men. it is only recently we have started to see this shift with more women obtaining these positions and that is definitely partjute of the work of maryam.

thousands of people have marched through the streets of hong kong — following the burial at sea of the chinese nobel peace prize winner, liu xiaobo. the largely silent crowd walked to china's representative office to show their support for mr liu, who died on thursday. he died in hospital while serving an eleven—year prison sentence for his political activism. 0ut out at sea, in an unknown location, the ashes of liu xiaobo were committed to the water. this video was released by the chinese government to suggest that in death as in life, they had treated him with dignity. after the ceremony, the authorities put his eldest brother in front of the cameras to

praise the communist party ‘s humanity. translation: burst of all, on behalf of my family and especially of my brother's wife, all the things the government has done since my brother's f were all done at the request of his family. each and every one was met with satisfaction. he was led away before journalists could ask why the nobel laureate was buried at sea. was it so his admirers would have nowhere to go to remember him? liu xiaobo's wife has been under house arrest since her husband won the nobel prize in 2010, her mental health has deteriorated, and officials suggested she was now a free woman but that claim has yet to be tested. liu xiaobo was given a nobel award after being jailed for calling for political change in china. in prison, little was heard of him and suddenly a few weeks ago, the authorities announced he was

receiving treatment for the cancer. china's leaders despised liu xiaobo and what he stood for in life. they try to control the manner of his death at the nobel prize brings worldwide recognition and china had no choice but to honour his passing. identifying inherited heart conditions can save lives but many of us don't know that we're carrying the gene that causes a disease known as "hcm". sir david frost had the condition and while it didn't cause his death, he did pass it on to one of his sons miles who died at the age of 31. now, his family is trying to help other people to find out if they could be affected too. my my house, come here. in every child, you can find something of their pa rents, you can find something of their parents, and often inherited alongside looks and characteristics of things that can't be seen. miles

shared with his father sir david 0h jean responsible for a heart condition that led to his sudden death. for your 31-year-old mother to die suddenly and unexpectedly, nothing can prepare you for it, and i will never get over the pain of loving —— learning that for the first time. miles loved sport anti—extreme —— he seemed extremely healthy but he died after going out for a run. healthy but he died after going out fora run. his healthy but he died after going out for a run. his brothers have set up a fund which along with thejewish heart foundation is paying for people —— the british heart foundation, and is paying for people to be tested. we can look back and complain about that or we can look forward and make sure it doesn't happen to people. sports clubs are starting to get to grips. it is

impossible to simply spot might have an inherited condition and the pitch but the careless —— gaelic athletic foundation says being aware of the possibility could save someone's wife. we have had a couple of sudden deaths in our own club and it has been shocking. that doesn't necessarily mean not taking part in sport, it isjust necessarily mean not taking part in sport, it is just changing what they do on the field. most of the risk is thought to be associate with high—intensity activities and we would do so —— encourage people to keep active but within certain parameters. this hospital in belfast is one of six centres in the uk to be given funding, notjust to help identify families with this gene but also to offer some support to them. morag has been identified with the

condition and she has passed that on to her 14—year—old son. that means really just for football and rugby mad teenager. rugby is a no-no but he can do a lower level of exertion. gulf he can continue with, but it will be huge impact on him but it is better that he knows and he can make those adjustments in his life and he can live with the condition that he has. it is thought tens of thousands of people carry the condition within the uk and targeting it is part of the uk and targeting it is part of the attempt to ensure they live long and active lives. the us air force thunderbirds team is mostly made up of experienced fighter pilots. now 20—year—old beth moran has become the youngest woman to fly with them — a remarkable achievement — especially as she only had her first flying lesson a year ago. she took up flying last

year because she wanted to do something positive following the shoreham air disaster. ben moore reports. hope things with the force nearly ten times that of gravity is not bad for a novice pilot. beth moran is the youngest ever woman to fly with the youngest ever woman to fly with the thunderbirds, despite having had her first flying lesson just over a year ago. now, she her first flying lesson just over a yearago. now, she is her first flying lesson just over a year ago. now, she is in an endless 16 belonging to the top american aerial display team. —— she is in an f-16. wow. oh, yeah. beth wanted to do something to lift spirits after the shoreham ed disaster so she led to fly. hope was contacted the thunderbirds on social media, asking

if they would take her up. itjust still feels quite surreal but i actually went up in an f—16 and pulled 9.2 g. i think my body will be recovering for a little while after that, it was a real x iranians. being part of such a select team, beth got her name on the plane, a round of applause, and a framed photo, but this just has to be the best selfie ever. that really is the best selfie. will she get the weather for she get the that really is the best selfie. will she get the weather for it? the weekend hasn't got after the brightest of starts, a lot of cloud form any of us during saturday. the clu b form any of us during saturday. the club has been producing outbreaks of rain as well as you can see from the earlier radar picture but where that

cloud began to break up across parts of the midlands this afternoon, the temperatures began to rocket, 24 degrees in places, and that is because between these two whether funds, or wall —— a warm front and a cold front, there is a wedge of cold air. -- cold front, there is a wedge of cold air. —— warm air. and during the night, that warm air will be confined to the southern part of the country. misty and murky and drizzly conditions, a humid night. to the north of our weather front, some clear spells and it'll feel cooler and fresher but there will be showers as well and into tomorrow morning, some of those showers across north—west scotland could be quite heavy, perhaps with the odd rumble of thunder. the northern ireland, a fine and bright start to the day. our weather front sings southwards. through the area of our weather front, we will have... a lot of cloud initially across the midlands, east anglia and the

south—east. 20 degrees in london even by nine o'clock in the morning. across the sup —— far south—east, the cloud should break up to reveal spells of sunshine. it will be warm. the cloud sticks to the south—west and the southern half of wales and the midlands. to the north of that, heavy showers, windy in scotland, the humid feel further south, including at wimbledon, there will bea including at wimbledon, there will be a lot of dry weather but a lot of bad as well. —— a lot of cloud as well. and similar at the grand prix in silverstone. as the cold front players out of the way, it allows an area of high pressure did its way in from the west and that means a start to the week if you like dry weather, spells of sunshine around, increasingly warm, particular south,

where temperatures could get close to 30 degrees. hello. this is bbc news with kasia madera. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — papers in a moment — first the headline. tony blair says some eu leaders have told him they're ready to compromise on freedom of movement to let britain stay in the single market. a sixteen—year—old boy has been charged with offences including grievous bodily harm after five people were attacked with acid in london on thursday night. a 15—year—old girl has died in devon after taking a drug formerly known as a legal high. the teenager was found unconscious in a park in newton abbot in the early hours of this morning. turkey's president erdogan rallies hundreds of thousands of supporters in istanbul to celebrate one year since a coup against him failed.
