Trump and Netanyahu meet at the White House

We've stopped now at the first address on the team's list for today. They're not sure if the woman living here will be willing to evacuate, but they're going to try. We've been hearing explosions in the last few minutes. Anton climbs over a locked gate to check the house, but there's no one home. A few streets away, he finds 71-year-old Olga already waiting by the road.

How long will the authorities let them? For both sides this is becoming a test of strength. Ekrem Imamoglu was the picture of composure, even as police massed outside his door.

Erdogan calls Turkey protests 'evil' as unrest continues
He said he was entrusting himself to his nation and he would not bow to tyranny. Turkey says its courts are independent. Taking it all in his stride, Turkey's ageing leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He accused the mayor and his party of being a movement of violence and predicted their show would eventually end. He's hoping the protests will peter out, but Turkey may be facing a fork in the road.
