Turkey's purge

The attempted military coup against Turkey's democratically-elected government last month was plenty alarming.

But what's happened in the country since has many people worried as well. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government has arrested at least 6,000 people, and at least 60,000 more have been fired or suspended from their jobs. The government has closed radio stations, charities, universities and even medical clinics.

Meanwhile relations with the U.S. have sunk to their lowest point in years as Erdogan has criticized the Obama administration for refusing to extradite a Muslim cleric he says inspired the effort to overthrow him. On this edition of Global Journalist, a look at the massive crackdown taking place in Turkey.
