Holly williams is in taksim squa square. Reporter good morning. We witnessed a night of violence and confusion here in turkey. The attempted coup may have been defeated, what we saw makes americas one of most important allies look increasingly unstable. The tanks that rolled on to the streets late last night were the first sign an attempted coup was underway. Gunfire and explosions rang out in neighborhoods across turkeys biggest city. Here and in the capital ankara, fighter jets repeatedly flew low over head. This internet video appears to show a helicopter opening fire on protesters. And Turkeys Parliament was apparently hit by a bomb. It was announced on turkish state tv, which was taken over by some of the coup plotters. A socalled peace counsel was in charge of the country, to defend turkeys democracy. But not long after that turkeys democratically elected president called in to vowing to defeat the coup and take to the street. Crowds of his supporters did that confronting the tanks and troops and shouting their defian defiance. By the early hours of the morning, the soldiers who attempted to seize power were surrendering and handing over their weapons. They had retaken control of the state tv.

Holly williams in istanbul, thank you. Cbs News Senior National is following the events in turkey. He joins us from the washington bureau. Good morning. The events have been predicted for awhile now. Was it still a surprise . What happened last night . Well, i think any time you see tanks in the streets of a modern democracy and the parliament being attacked, thats surprising, of course, in terms of the imagery. But the political and power struggles within turkey have been well known. President erdogans attempts to neuter the military has been long standing, and many of his initial efforts when he was Prime Minister were attempts to weaken the military. The military has felt emboldened and powered recently. President erdogan had to rely on them more and more to attack other enemies within the turkish state. So that probably is what lead, in part, to what we saw last night. How badly caught off guard was erdogan by the coup attempt . This was a bit surprising, anthony. He has been so forceful in weeding out those hes considered to be threats to his power. Not just in the military, but in other parts of Turkish Society like the glennis party and movement. Its surprising they were caught off guard. Much of the military did stay loyal to him it represents the fact hes been able to weed out more and more of the military and create a sense of loyalty not only to him but the turkish democratic principles. Is it possible he could come out in a Stronger Political momentum. Can he get people to believe theres no chance of a conversion in power. Could he come out stronger . I think he can. I think the popular adage goes if you come at the king, make sure you dont miss him. And the coup plotters missed him. He comes out stronger here. He cloaked himself in democracy as a defender of turkey. Hes going to be able to go after his opponent with greater forces. As you know, hes been cracking down on the media and his opposition for some time. This will consolidate his power and even forced opposition members to come to his defense and the defense of turkish democracy. He comes out the winner here given the coup plotters have failed to take out the king. Juan zirate, thank you. Isis claims it influenced the driver of the truck that killed 84 people in nice, france. And left more than 200 people injured. Also, french prosecutors are questioning five people in connection with the attack. This comes as Security Officials meet in paris to review this third terrorist attack to hit france in the past 18 months. Elizabeth palmer has more from nice where conflicting accounts are emerging about the truck driver. Elizabeth, good morning. Reporter good morning. As you mentioned, isis this morning online claimed credit for the attack, which is not the same as claiming responsibility. It may be that as in the orlando shootings, this young man, mohamed lahouaiej, was inspired by isis propaganda he read online, but whatever the case, whatever his motivation, one thing is clear, he has ended 84 lives and ruined hundreds more. People who live in nice along with visitors to this famous resort city came to pay respects last night at a memorial near the scene of the massacre. Mohamed lahouaiej 31 years old and born in tunisia was the man behind the wheel of the truck that barrelled into the festive crowd on thursday night leaving a grim trail of dead and dying. But why he did it is still a mystery. The french Prime Minister described him as a terrorist but when we visited the nondescript Apartment Building where he lived estranged from his wife and son his neighbor saw there was no sign of a muslim. He drank during ramramadan, she said. The police combed through his apartment and took away a laptop computer. They also took his exwife in for questioning. Four other people are in custody, too. Security officials try to figure out whether he acted alone or did have links to a group. In tunisia his father told reporters his son had a history of violence and mental illness. Hed get dreepressed, and angry he said, and start yelling and break everything within reach. Reporter this underlines a dangerous vulnerable, easily manipulated young men who have access to isis propaganda all over the world have suddenly become security risks. Thank you. More than 200 people, many of them children remain injured from the truck attack in nice. Seth doan. Reporter calling for three days of National Mourning today. The search continues for an american missing since the attack. The swerving truck struck its victims at random. Among the wounded were several american stunltds on a study abroad program. One of their classmates nick leslie hasnt been located since the truck came barrelling toward them. Teddy was leslies former roommate. Weve been trying to stay positive but its been awhile. Its been awhile. Reporter and still no word. Leslie came to nice as part of a twoweek long Summer Program through uk bec berkeley which pd on facebook. The copeland family will be going home to texas without two of their own. 1 51yearold sean and 11yearold brodie. Both were killed in the bastille day attack. They are doing what they can, like answering the call for blood donations. I think we we are doing the best we can do. Reporter the surgeon rushed to his hospital to help treat victims that night. And told us it was too hard to think about why these patients were in front of him. Reporter you focus on the surgery. Yes. Technical. I need to be technical. Reporter otherwise the emotion gets you yes. Thats it. And we are tired because weve been working all night, too. Cant be emotional and tired and technical. We need to choose. Reporter 28 children are still in that hospital, anthony. Five of them on life support. Thank you very much. In the wake of the attack in nice, security is being tightened here at home for the upcoming political conventions coming. Coming up later in the broadcast well look at the intense security being used for the Rnc Convention in cleveland. Donald trump is expected to introduce indiana governor mike pence as his Vice President ial running mate in new york. Trump postponed making the announcement on friday. Trump became the first president ial candidate in history to announce his vp pick on twitter. Major garrett is here with more. A pleasure to see you. Zbla great to be with you. Paul manafort told me the meeting focussed open building a agenda. At convention pences quiet yet staunch conservativism is likely to reassure delegates and energize some donors. Its a tremendous honor for our family, and but its an important time in the life of our nation. Reporter in his First Television interview since joining the gop ticket, mike pence, the conventional and cautious choice praised Donald Trumps political instincts and raw talent. Donald trump understands the anxiety and the aspiration of the American People like no leader since reagan. Reporter after meetings with trump in midtown manhattan pence was peppered with questions if trump tried to back out of the political partnership. My family and i couldnt be more honored. Weve had the opportunity to run with and serve with the next president of the united states. Reporter a former talk radio host pence served six terms in the house of representatives rising to become the fourthranking republican in congress and establishing a reputation as a staunch fiscal and social conservative. Im a christian, a conservative, and republican in that order. Reporter after running for president in 2012, pence decided to run for governor. As governor pence worked with the Obama White House to expand medicaid and signed the controversial religious freedom law which lead to legalized discrimination of gays. Businesses cancelled events in indiana, and the state lost millions. Its been a tough week here in the hoosier state. Reporter ultimately forcing pence to amend the law. I dont believe for a minute that it was the intention of the General Assembly to create a license to discriminate. Pence has previously spoken out about trumps temporary ban on muslim immigration now he strongly supports it. He also said the trump presidency, will build the wall, and u. S. And mexico will pay for it. Pence also called Hillary Clintons plans to increase the number of Syrian Refugees quote recklessly irresponsible. Thank you. Hillary clinton was off the campaign trail friday, but she was quick to respond to Donald Trumps selection of mike pence. Her campaign released a statement, quote, by picking mike pence, hes doubled down on some of his beliefs, by choosing an unpopular running mate, known for failed economic policies that favor millionaires and corporations over working families. Cbs news will bring you Donald Trumps official announcement of mike pence as his running mate. We will provide special coverage starting at 11 eastern time. Joining us now for more on trumps choice for Vice President and the impact of the france attack on the campaign is phillip bump, a political reporter, good morning. Good morning, sir. Lets talk about the issue of terrorism and national security, because obviously, its back in the headlines again and it doesnt seem to want to go away. Does that favor one of the candidates in this race . Its fascinating. One would think he would favor donald trump, he made it central to his campaign, to his thesis. We followed in the New York Times poll, theyre even on terrorism, and thats close to Hillary Clintons back clountru. Its a complex mix. You wrote a piece on washington post. Com about the weirdness of a trumppence ticket. What makes it weird, and what do you think he brings to the table with trump . What was weird about it, if you look at the poll from april 2015, from bloomberg, republicans said more often than donald trump, they would never vote for him. 60 of republicans said they would never vote for trump, and mike pence was tied for being the most unknown candidate. The republican nominee is most republicans said they wouldnt vote against and the vp said they wouldnt know a year ago. A lot has changed. What pence brings is in part of fact he is this conservative base. Trump for a long time said he wanted someone with experience on capitol hill to work with the legislature. Pence served for a decade in the house and, i think, too, people are worried about trump, and how he sometimes gets frazzled. Thats advantageous. Theres a lot of talk about broadening the candidate, some people not showing up at the convenience. Pence has some connections with the koch brothers, and theyve not been fans of donald trump. Do you think this broadens trumps connections . I think so. There are a lot of question marks here, and one of the things is voters and donors still know donald trump is the head of the ticket. We tend to over estimate the role that a Vice President can play. For donald trump, who someone who is so polarizing in her own right, but for donald trump, is so polarizing, mike pence there are a lot of conservatives on how conservative trump is. Safe to say, an unconventional convention. Stay with cbs for complete coverage of the Republican National convention from cleveland.
