He was seen surrounded by cheering supporters, and said the coup attempt was an "act of treason" and the army must be cleansed in a live TV speech. Forty-two people died during overnight clashes in the capital, Ankara, most of them civilians, prosecutors said. Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the situation was largely under control and 130 people had so far been arrested. He has ordered the military to shoot down aircraft being used by coup plotters. Earlier, one of the helicopters being flown by forces involved in the coup attempt was shot down over Ankara. Meanwhile, the whereabouts of the military chief of staff, Gen Hulusi Akar, are still unknown. He is reported to have been taken hostage by rebel soldier. Sporadic gunfire is still reported in major cities. Reports also say rebel soldiers in some areas have been surrendering their weapons to police loyal to Mr Erdogan.
