Looking on the bright side of Brexit
David Evans’ sister (Letters, 21 July) needs to see something a bit more positive about Brexit in your newspaper, and as a remainer I have been compelled to find something to cheer myself up with. Maybe it’s not all gloomy. The poorer countries of Europe not only want there to be jobs in our country for their workers, they need our financial help as well, and our economy, comparatively speaking, is strong. Greece will need more money from somewhere, and Italy is soon likely be a mendicant. Germany understandably has said that it is not prepared to do all the financial heavy lifting. There are several European countries willing to woo us too for our assistance. In global affairs, we are a strong member of Nato and have an important role in the UN as a member of the security council. Historically, we have world experience in trade, politics and defence, and our Queen is head of the Commonwealth. An ever more English-speaking world is something beneficial to us. Regardless of Trump, our special relationship with the US is real. These are considerable assets with which David Davis and his team can bargain in their EU negotiations and with the world at large. When Boris Johnson decides, and let it be soon, that the foreign secretary is not going to be him, I am sure they will be able to get on with this work patiently and steadfastly.

The Giro d’Italia has taken a lot of energy out of me. Having good days and bad at the Tour after the Giro is just normal. It’s not easy to ride two Grand Tours in a row. For now I’m focused on making it to Paris and then I’ll think of the Olympic Games. It’s an important goal because it might my last chance for getting a result.” 3.30pm BST IAN BRITTON WRITES: “Didn’t Oleg Tinkoff say he was wasting his money as no one in his markets watches the tour?” he asks. “A vanity project, but cheaper than football. There was also team Argos - a European oil/gas thing - not the laminated shop of dreams or a multi-eyed Greek God but I guess for UK fans a different connotation.” Continue reading...

Turkish lawmakers set to give Erdogan sweeping new powers
In an address to the nation late Wednesday, Erdogan announced a Cabinet decision to seek the additional powers, saying the state of emergency would give the government the tools to rid the military of the "virus" of subversion. Under the Turkish Constitution, the emergency measures allow the government to "partially or entirely" suspend "the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms," so long as it doesn't violate international law obligations. Before the vote, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said that once emergency measures are invoked, the country would suspend its participation in the European Convention of Human Rights, an international treaty meant to protect human rights and freedoms. Even without the emergency measures, the government has already imposed a crackdown that has included mass arrests and the closure of hundreds of schools. Turkish state media said a further 32 judges and two military officers have been detained by authorities during the crackdown since last week's coup. In Greece, a court sentenced eight Turkish military personnel who fled there aboard a helicopter during the coup attempt to two months in prison for illegal entry into the country.
