independence square after the president rejected ideal with the union in favor of closer ties with russia. but the latest clashes began outside apartment after the opposition accused the government of ignore its demands, the protesters through rocks and fire bombs as riot police moved in. the police fired back and tear gas and stun grenades at least 13 people are dead, including six police officers. he feel we spoke with chris miller a journalist who has sweeping all day and night and i asked him about the injuries that he has seen. >> reporter: i watched a young man i believe he was a teenager, certainly no more than 21, 22. get shot in the eye. i am pretty sure that he will lose the eye as a result. but he was bleeding profusely, and screaming at the top of his lungs, medics took him away to an glance where he was rushed

away from the scene. >> and you are seeing all sorts of other injuries there, you said, people have suffered a lot of cuts, bleeding? >> reporter: this -- just this evening i watched one man lose his hand after he didn't release a -- some type of explosive in time. and just recently another journalist of ours said a riot police officer after lost a hand after a grenade exploded before he could get it away. besides those people, people are limping away with leg injuries, they've got gashes and cuts on the head from either hand to hand combat or shrapnel from police grenades. many, many people on the square are injured. -- right now it's likely that you would see more people injured than not injured. >> is there any indication that the protesters are trying to move out of this square?

that this is going to spread somehow? >> reporter: here, no, they are thinkerring down in the square. they want to defend independence square. this is their home base, they have already lost their headquarters, which is the trade unions building. police are now in possession of that and there is a fire burning on the sixth floor, police have also taken up position on the roof top of that building and snipers are firing in to the crowd of protesters. where the protests have spread are out west. in the western part of the country. predominantly more pro western pro european based they are storming government offices and buildings, including police headquarters in. east we haven't seen much acti action. but there are protests in other western regions of the country. >> is there any indication that they can move to some sort of resolution that some sort of negotiations are taking place to

stop the violence? >> right now, opposition leaders of klischko are sitting down with the president, victor january cove itch. according to our sources, but it's unclear exactly what is being discussed. kwoeubsly thobviously the protee laid out their demands, i am sure she asked that the president resign, restore a constitution from 2,004 that lessons the power of the president and more power in the hand of the parliament and cabinet of ministers. but it's unlikely that either of those will happen. jankovich has not backed down in the last three months and people don't expect him to back down right now. >> chris miller from the coul kv post. thanks so much for being with us. >> reporter: sure. thank you. >> we will keep an eye on the developments of kiev. which are also watching another

capital where government forces and protesters also clash today, 10s of thousands of venezuelans flooded the streets of caracas, marking the seventh day of student-led protests in that capital city and a country that is oil rich. but also suffers a wealth of economic problems and a growing sense of division. a dynamic opposition leader, or as the government sees him, an instigator of unlawful protests. leopold owe lopez stand at the center of the latest demonstrations, or he did until today when he turned himself in to police. lopez a harvard educated activist says he isn't guilty of inciting violence, though he has urged students to rally in a series of protests that turnedded deadly last week. >> translator: we are tired of crime, censorship and people getting killed every day.

>> the fury has spread rapidly through social media in a country where traditional outlets are heavily tilted towards the government. venezuela now led by nicholas ma due oh, the hand held successor to hugo chavez has been plagued by allegations of corruption, growing crime and rising inflation. but he has urged his own supporters in to the streets. and accused the united states of backing rebel groups, even announcing the expulsion of three u.s. diplomats this week, blaming them for recruiting students to the anti-government protests. >> we have seen many times that the venezuelan government tries to distract from its own actions by blaming the u.s. or other members of the international community for events insight venezuela. >> this time it appears the opposition won't be distracted even with lopez off line. protesters continue to flood the streets and increase pressure on

ma due owe's government. >> translator: there is a lot of division right now. but we have to not stop in the boxing rink against each other. >> to help us understand what is behind the unrest we turn to professor of history and politics at directional university. also author of "we created chavez." we appreciate you being with us, we mentioned mr. lopez's education and relative wealth versus mr. maduro, is this a matter of class here? >> it's not only about class, but it's certainly a major part of it. as you mentioned, leopold owe lopez comes from the upper crust of the upper crust of the venezuelan society. he's descended from the first president of venezuela and these are the pima customed to running the country and being in power and don't like to be displaced

parts of what happened when chaff is he is was elected they were being replaced from below from popular movements from the urban poor especially and these are the people that have been given a new voice under in government. so what has manifested is very much a struggle between classes. these protests are not reducible to upper and middle classes certainly lean that way. the millions of supporters who voted for maduro and continue to vote for the chavez block tends to be largely from the poorest segments of society. >> you note here, maduro's strength. is it still his majority, right? the opposition is a smaller force still at this point? >> yes, it is. and that's something that needs to be recognized because part of what happens with all of the rhetoric that comes especially through twitter, from the opposition, the idea that venezuela is trying to get rid of maduro. the reality is what that does is to repeat the historical

silencing of the poor majority of the country, those who did vote for maduro and those that would role voyt for him again today and the chaff east at thats. the segment of this population, the moore radical chaff east at thats. are not about what's going on in the government. they are building organizations of participation and communes and really why this distraction is going on, a lot of people are just still building a new society. >> we only have a few seconds left but i want to get to the relations with the u.s. and the indication of mr. maduro that the feeling that the united stateu.s. isbehind this is thatd what about that given that they are such an oil-rich nation. >> we should be perfectly clear, if you look at the united states budget this is money in the millions of dollars earmarked for this venezuelan opposition despite they have behind anti-democratically in the past. that's certainly clear.

at that the same time, this opposition doesn't need the us to make tactical decisions like it's doing now. it's capable of doing that on its own. >> directional university's george, thank you very much for being with us here. >> thanks for having me. when we return, a mystery in minnesota's great north woods. where are all the moose gone? >> if we continuity trajectory re, we'll be out of moose in 2025. >> following the trail of minnesota's most majestic creatures and tracking what or who is responsible.

how the new york city police department handled a protest that turned in to may am. >> we did reach out to the new york city public information office of the police department up there for more information and comment about the case, we have not, however, received any response from this. joining us now is attorney martin s t.o stoller. he is now representing cecily, appreciate your being with us. we note here hundreds of cases. were there any similarity to her case? >> not to cecily's case, most of the cases that the arrest were for rather minor offenses, there were very, very few felony arrests and so we had about three how arrests all in all. and about 90% of them were dismissed. that is a pretty sad statement on policing of the protests when 90% of all the arrests wind up with no court action whatsoever.

>> what does that tell you, if 90%, 9 out of 10 cases are dismissed? what does that tell but the cases? >> that tells me that the cases were lousy cases, that there was over policing. that people were arrested without a real good reason to arrest them and the cased didn't stop up in court. cecily's case is different. the reason it's different is that there is videotape that shows cecily actually elbowing this officer and hitting him below the eye. leaving a nice bruce o bruise os face. what the videotape doesn't really show, but is close, is that the reason cecily's arm went up in the air like this is that as she was exiting the park, this is the six-month anniversary of the taking of the park, people were assembled in the park and a very friendly and quiet manner, sell cespedesly wasn't there to celebrate the anniversary, she was there for another reason, but as she is exiting the park and a police officer has told her you have to

get on you of the park this is about midnight. she's grabbed from behind on her right breast and reacts like any woman would. training, not training, the reaction, it says, whoa, what are you doing? with that reaction. >> how does that get to be a felony charge i guess is the part i am not getting? >> the claim was made after cecily was arrested, that this police officer, who got hit in the face, was he is courting another person out of the park, and somehow cecily purposely came over and interfered with that arrest by whacking the guy in the eye. that was what the claim was made when she was arrested, that was the claim that was made when she was brought before a judge some 40 hours after she was taken in to custody. >> and there was one other felony case, right? >> there is one other felony case from the 3,000 arrests that stuck that was the case of a

young man who mistakenly brought a weapon that was licensed in his home state in to new york, the weapon was found in a knapsack insides of a van, nobody was injured but it was clearly a crime. that was the only other felony that was prosecuted out of 3,000 arrests. cecily's is the second felony and the only one that is going to go to trial. >> quick thought here, what does this tell us as we look on these occupy protests and what are the future of such things that policing is going to be done is going to be done with a heavy hand like this, do you think. i certainly hope not. people's right to protest, speak out. that is an area where police activity should be curtailed. it's not something we should encourage, that's what makes america different and something that the contusion says every

person has the right to stand up and speak without the police trying to shut them down. >> thank you very much. attorney martin and our final thoughts in this hour, round two, tough teenager who is still packing a mean bench. get in her corner where there is more to it. that's next.
