Thousands of state officials, police and academics dismissed in Turkey

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

On the eve of the first anniversary of the attempted coup in Turkey, the authorities have issued a decree dismissing more than seven thousand additional police officers, state officials and academics. Also in the programme: we hear from Nice's deputy mayor, one year after the terror attack; and the musical that united apartheid-era South Africa.
