we begin in turkey, which is marking one year since the failed military coup against president erdogan. tens of thousands have been attending this event in istanbul to mark the anniversary. president erdogan spoke at the rally against the soldiers who tried to seize powerfrom him. he said we need to chop off the heads of traitors. he is due to address parliament in ankara shortly, at the time it was bombed. the failed coup was a traumatic event in the country's history. 260 people were killed. more than 2,000 people were injured. in the aftermath, more than 150,000 state employees have been sacked, and another 50,000 people have been arrested. mark lowen has been at the event in istanbul, and sent this report. they returned to where

the nightmare began. seized by the tanks a year ago, it is now renamed 15 july martyrs bridge, tens of thousands celebrating victory today. they call it turkey's second independence, joy and relief clear, and they remember the 260 killed as the people stood up to the plotters. last year, a lion, that lion is turkish nation, was tried to strangle, by cats. they are militants with tanks, f—16s, bullets, rifles. but they couldn't strangle the lion. it was the greatest ever attack on the turkish 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 150,000 sacked or suspended. a year ago, there was unity against the coup, but tonight the opposition says it is not coming here. deep cracks have opened up over the mass arrests and dismissals. for half the country, the 15th of july marks turkey's rebirth. the other half says it is killing off what is left of turkish democracy. as night fell, their hero arrived. he was almost captured in the coup, but president erdogan emerged stronger, and tightened his grip. translation: i would like to thank all our citizens who protected and defended their freedom, democracy, religion, state, government, and future and independence. 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 were fired. alongside, a human rights monument is now sealed off, a bleak metaphor for turkey's plight. translation: one day your name is on a list, and you're struck off. your life is turned upside down. you're killed off by the system. they want to live, but for their demands to be met. i can't think of that alternative. the celebrations went on alongside the new martyrs monument, the 15th of july now etched into the country, for better or worse. a year since the national trauma, and turkey still torn. in the last hour i spoke with bbc journalist seref isler, who was in turkey at the time of the coup. i asked him what he made of president erdogan‘s speech. well, i mean, i have been a

journalist for as long as he has beenin journalist for as long as he has been in power, and i have to say that this was easily one of the most religious, one of the most emotional speeches that he has ever made. the rhetoric was very strong. so using phrases such as these traitors will have to jump over the pawns, that we need to chop off their heads, we wa nt need to chop off their heads, we want execution, bringing back the death penalty, and then him saying that if this... it is a democracy in turkey, so if parliament were to pass a law bringing back the death penalty, but i will approve it, was another phrase he said. and it was other things, like again, another phrase he said. and it was otherthings, like again, stomping on their heads. about half of his speech was basically taking on the leader of the opposition, of the republican people's party. so the

rhetoric was very strong, and very passionate, very emotional. in a way, it appealed to the emotions of the people on the streets, and who came to the rally, who would have felt this nationalistic surge starting from a year ago today. and we should remember that the yeronga is still a state of emergency in place. when do you think that might be lifted? mr erdogan has hinted that he would be willing to lift it, 01’ that he would be willing to lift it, or rather that he would be ok with it being lifted soon. however, he has always pointed out that he wants it to continue until they are, in his words, rid of all the traces within the system. hence the 150,000 who have been purged from their jobs. so mr erdogan says that these people had links to terrorist

organisations, and he needs the state of emergency powers to be able to effectively and efficiently get rid of them in the system. however, of course, his critics say that these people don't have any appeals process , these people don't have any appeals process, nothing. their names are published in the official gazette, where all the laws are published, under the state of emergency laws, and they are jobless in a second. and we must remember that you were actually in turkey when the coup happened. what was that like?m actually in turkey when the coup happened. what was that like? it was one of the most traumatic evenings that i have witnessed in turkey. to the extent that you of course and remembering every detail. i was at my friend's wedding, and two jets flew over. my dad called and said, do you know what is going on? i said i don't know. i turned on the tv and there was a coup message being read on state tv. and then this frantic drive to our hotel, and left, right and centre i saw people trying to get every bit of cash out of the atm, food from bakeries. people were

really preparing themselves for the worst. and later, of course, as we all know now, the democracy message was rather... the imams at mosques wa nted was rather... the imams at mosques wanted people to go on the street and defend democracy, and when people took to the streets they were confronted by tanks. and it wasjust pandemonium, for one night, when no one slept. 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 11—year prison sentence for his political activism. here is michael bristow. 0ut out at sea, and an unknown location, the remains of liu xiaobo were placed in an urn. with his wives and

—— wife and relatives looking on, the ashes were committed to the water. this video was released to suggest that in death, as in life, they had treated the nobel peace prize winner with dignity. after the ceremony, the authorities put liu xiaobo's eldest brother in front of the cameras, to praise the communist pa rty‘s humanity. the cameras, to praise the communist party's humanity. translation: first of all, only half of my family, and especially of my brother's wife, all the things the government has done since my brother's death 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 laureate was buried at sea. was it so that his admirers would have nowhere to go to remember him? mr liu 's nowhere to go to remember him? mr liu ‘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

every 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. then suddenly, a few weeks ago, the authorities announced he was receiving treatment for liver cancer. china's leaders despised liu xiaobo and what he stood for in life. they tried to control the manner of his death. 0ther nobel peace prize brings worldwide recognition, and so even china had no choice but to honour his passing. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: israel says it will reopen the sensitive holy site in jerusalem on sunday. the compound known tojews as the temple mount and to muslims as haram al—sharif mosque was closed after two israeli police officers were shot dead on friday by three israeli—arab gunmen, who were chased and killed. china has warned that india will face embarrassment if it doesn't pull its troops from doklam,

a region claimed by china in the himalayas. chinese state media said there was no room for negotiations until india withdraws. india says it sent troops there last month to stop the chinese from building a new road on territory claimed by bhutan. the international airport serving the libyan city of benghazi has officially reopened for commercial traffic, amid a heavy security presence, after a three—year closure caused by fighting. the airport in libya's second city shut amid escalating conflict in 2014. tony blair, the former prime minister of britain, has suggested the uk could win concessions on immigration to try to keep it within the european union. the former british prime minister said european leaders might be prepared to offer a compromise on the free movement of people. his comments, though, have been dismissed by senior conservative and labour figures. 0ur political correspondent eleanor garnier reports. balancing the needs of the uk

economy at the same time as getting greater control of britain's borders is a key issue in the brexit debate. but the 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 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 whether there are changes, qualifications to it, not alteration of the indivisibility of the principle, 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 01’ nuance.

i'm not going to disclose conversations i had within europe, but i'm not saying this simply on the basis of a whim. some of those who campaigned to leave the eu says there is no evidence to back up mr blair's claim. the eu itself has made it absolutely clear that the four freedoms, including freedom of movement, are indivisible, as they've called it. the chief negotiator, barnier, has said that. they took four minutes to agree those guidelines. there is no debate in the eu. it's complete nonsense, it's just another attempt to undermine brexit. campaigning in southampton, the current labour leader rejected his predecessor's position, 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 nationals, and protection of the labour rights

and environmental conditions 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 minister is demonstrating again that he is out of touch with voters. but mr blair has reopened the debate on the central issue of brexit, a decision he says is the biggest the 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 for commenting from the sidelines. eleanor garnier, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: all the latest sport, including spain's garbine muguruza, who has denied venus williams her sixth wimbledon title in the women's final. the flamboyant italian fashion designer gianni versace has been shot dead in florida. the multi—millionaire was gunned down outside his home in the exclusive south beach district of miami. emergency services across central europe are stepping up their efforts to contain the worse

yea rs and emotional moment. of the three years apart, this boy recognised his father. when the so—called islamic state attacked their village, he thought he had lost all his children. it is only now that he realises he survived. for years, the son, who has learning difficulties, was held in a mosul orphanage by isis. this was the scene when we reported on the release of others in the orphanage. almost 30 children here were being used as human shields by isis. and he was one of them. tired and hungry, the children we re them. tired and hungry, the children were rescued by iraqi security forces. the pictures went viral. are

both like many other parents, saw his child in the bbc report and travelled here as quickly as he could. translation: when i saw this picture it felt like i was being given all the riches in the world. now they are out of mosul and the children are safe. but not all reunions are going well. these girls we re reunions are going well. these girls were just reunions are going well. these girls werejust six reunions are going well. these girls were just six years old when they we re were just six years old when they were taken by isis. they no longer recognise their family. these children have been separated from theirfamilies for children have been separated from their families for almost three yea rs. their families for almost three years. they have no memories of theirformer years. they have no memories of their former lives. years. they have no memories of theirformer lives. and years. they have no memories of their former lives. and uncle years. they have no memories of theirformer lives. and uncle tries to help remember, but it is difficult after having lived under isis for so long. the father shows me his daughter ‘s id card and tells

is professor caroline series. she spoke to us about her life and achievements. she was an absolutely wonderful person, and a brilliant mathematician. the fact that she was iranian and the fact that she was first woman to win this prestigious fields medal, she was just such an icon and a role model and inspiration around the world. she will be sorely missed. it was the way in which she managed to combine ideas that, perhaps, other people knew, but she combined them together in a completely unexpected and remarkable way. she sent me a cow, and remarkable way. she sent me a copy, a draft of her thesis and

ph.d. dissertation before was finally submitted and the way she put together ideas which, really, i had known about but she was able to combine sings and draw astonishing and remarkable conclusion is with them. quite cleanly and... not simply, it is technical, but, somehow, to get to some gold would be completely unexpected and turn around the way you would think about the whole subject. it's been a busy day of sport. here's hugh ferris with all the details. there's a new name on the wimbledon honours board. garbine muguruza has won herfirst title with a straight—sets win over five—time champion venus williams. the spaniard won nine games in a row to complete a 7—5 6—0 victory under the centre court roof. she denied the 37—year—old american
