friends and family say he had only wanted to protect their. baton rouge remains on high alert. investigators believe the attacker acted alone. in washington, it barack obama made another call for unity and calm. >> we are about to enter a couple of weeks of conventions. it tends to be more overheated than usual. regardless of race or political party or profession, regardless of organizations. everyone right now is focused on words and actions that can unite

this country. we don't need inflammatory rhetoric. we don't need careless accusations. we need to temper our words. one of them was 37-year-old alton sterling. the depth -- there appears to be no organized connection. the latest shooting has highlighted the racial divide in

overall expectations. profits are declining for a sixth consecutive quarter but that is not going to be the story. the story is the outlook. it could even gain more traction in the fourth quarter. we need to look at the outlook. by the way here on mondays we got the numbers from bank of america and like many before, profit declined the as much as expected. at least in the banking industry, some results are better than expected. this didn't help the markets. anchor: we will see how the week goes on.

that is the latest from wall street. the turkish tourism has had a rough year. as you can imagine, a military coup attempt is not making things better. while the situation is that to be under control, the attempted coup was yet another hit tourism image. >> after the dramatic scenes of last friday, the airport is now quiet and operating normally. things are also, get in the city center. >> it is all a bit confusing on friday. we do not really know what was going on but apart from a few remnants, we do not feel that we were in any real danger. then we were in the hotel and something was happening on tv.

the streets around here were once packed. now they wait in vain. there is absolutely nothing going on right now. the hotels are also empty. >> that keeps on my best, we will all have to close. we have to pay our rent's and taxes. the deadly crashes will do little to improve conditions.

that is it. anchor: turkey is on high alert tonight. thousands of police have been suspended. leaders are being interrogated. there are calls for some to be executed. after a short break we will be back to take you through the day. stay with us.
