Earlier this week in Turkey more than 50,000 people were evacuated due to wildfires in the western province of Izmir.

In Turkey, rescuers evacuated more than 50,000 people - mostly from the western province of Izmir - as firefighters continued to put out hundreds of wildfires that had broken out in recent days.

At least 10 journalists covering the protests have also been detained in Istanbul and Izmir during dawn raids by police.

Authorities tried to stifle the street demonstrations with a four-day ban on all gatherings in Istanbul, which was extended to Ankara and Izmir as protests spread across the country.

They have since extended this order to Ankara and the western coastal city of Izmir as protests have spread.
