There is no better way to start the day than watching Istanbul slide past on a Bosphorus ferry towards the Black Sea. There are also few better ways to spend the rest of the day than retracing your steps by foot, with @danieldombey as your guide ft.com/content/5139488a-f3da…

Walking beside the Bosphorus past the splendours of Istanbul

An extraordinary route from the Black Sea coast to the city centre takes in fishing villages, Ottoman remains, spectacular restaurants and sights of great beauty

"One Sunday morning in 2008, I woke up to learn I had supposedly plotted with then-U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney to overthrow the Turkish government," writes @elcinpoyrazlar politico.eu/article/turkey-r…

How Gülen’s feud with Erdoğan shaped today’s Turkey

The cleric’s supporters infiltrated the police and judiciary — but went too far when they challenged Erdoğan’s allies and family.

There's something populist about the backlash against tourism. It involves a turn inwards similar to reactions we've seen to immigration and deindustrialisation. And it unites people on the conservative right & the radical left. ft.com/content/de15a5a3-941d… via @ft

The cost of Europe’s backlash against tourists

In Spain, record visitor numbers are provoking protests, but their spending props up the economy. Policymakers are trying to find a balance

Spain is Nato’s biggest laggard on defence spending. It spends less as a % of GDP than any other Nato country. A national aversion to muscular militarism explains why. ft.com/content/5803ccb4-5d49… via @ft

Why Spain is Nato’s laggard on defence spending

EU’s fourth-biggest economy contributes a lower share of GDP to the military than any other ally

Feels quite old school to do a #ff but my colleague and long-time fellow @Merkez_Bankasi-watcher @adamsamson recently arrived in Ankara as the new @FT Turkey correspondent. A must-follow for news on the upcoming elections, earthquake fallout, Turkish economy + more.
