of the day. it's been hours of utter chaos since late afternoon when police first moved in. no real common ground or signs of it between protesters and the government. it's anyone's guess what tomorrow will bring. dawn is a couple hours from now. we'll continue to bring you the latest throughout the day. that does it for us. erin burnett and "outfront" starts now. "outfront" next, breaking news. turkey erupting into violence. reporters struggling against tear gas just to tell the story. we'll take you there live for the latest. plus a hint from hillary, what some people believe is her first twitter post and the real meaning behind it. and the u.s. government building a case against mr. edward snowden. what charges might the nsa leaker face? let's go "outfront." hello, i'm ashleigh banfield. i am in for erin burnett.

"outfront," breaking news off the bat. beginning with violence in a place better known for ancient ruins, cobalt seas, and american allies. turkey. it has exploded into fire and tear gas tonight. this is a green revolution of an entirely different sort. because it started as a protest over green space. parks that were disappearing. but it has devolved into so much more. you might say a vote of no confidence by turkey's people towards its long-standing prime minister. look at the scene. riot police moved in on tens of thousands of protesters in istanbul's taksim square. within minutes, the scene erupted into a volley of stun grenades, firecrackers, water

cannons, and tear gas. it got so bad, cnn's arwa damon was overcome by gas as she was trying to report live. >> reporter: we're right now in the very front of the park. you can see people trying to help us out because of the tear gas. the entire front part of the park right now has been cleared out. because of the intensity of what was just fired in. >> we are just learning they have been tear gassed again. you saw peppermint being sprayed into arwa's eyes. the cnn crew trying to help her so she could continue her live reporting. make no mistake here, the protesters have been lobbing molotov cocktails at armored vehicles that came in to break up those crowds. they were armed with little else, other than wooden boards they were using as shields. our arwa damon is live with us. arwa, i wanted to check in. are you able to report? you have a gas mask? are you able to speak right now? >> reporter: yeah. yeah, ashleigh, actually, tear

gas inside gezi park right now. all around us. all of this just evolving in the last few minutes. as riot police push their way forward down the side street. in the park in that direction there is tear gas coming into the park itself. a lot of people really overcome by all of this. trying to deal with it. cope with it. the situation certainly escalating. especially in the last few minutes. riot police broke through the barricades on the side street and managed to move even further forward. the canisters landing in the tents. also in one of the -- one of the buildings here that is surrounded by glass itself. tear gas billowing right in

front of where we are right now. people incredibly angry the way that the riot police have acted. you are seeing this anger throughout the day and the riot police have used the tear gas continued to intensify. and they're really rallying around one another as well. you see a lot of them pouring this white liquid into each other's eyes. that's actually an anti-acid they mix with water that helps ease the sting, ease the burn. the government had promised to allow the demonstration itself to continue. while the riot police have not entered the gas itself, the tear gas is now landing inside the park. if i move around here forward.

[ indiscernible ] the riot police as i was saying. the riot police ran into taksim square. some of the demonstrators trying to push their way forward right now. they'll run forward, sometimes, and grab the tear gas canisters and lob them right back at the riot police. they are screaming "be careful" to one another. when you see this happening, people will try to calm those who are inside the camp down. because it is so densely populated here. they're so densely populated here, the tear gas canisters -- >> i am concerned about your safety and the crew's safety. it looks like it escalated throughout the day. i want to know if there are any concern that tear gas canisters can turn into anything else,

rubber bullets, an all-out assault? a lot of riot police amassing behind the vehicle. is there any concern for the people here covering at this point, and your crew, as well? >> reporter: i think we are in a pretty okay position. what you can see in front right now is some of the demonstrators are trying to collect -- [ indiscernible ] lob the rocks back towards the riot police. anger, really, really flaring inside gezi park itself.

they're screaming for a doctor to help that man. [ indiscernible ] >> arwa, please make sure you and the crew are okay at this point. if there is incoming, i can see they're picking up rocks and volleying them. if there is any danger, you need to get out of there. please let us know the minute you need to shut this down. >> reporter: yeah, yeah, we will do. we will do. another tear gas canister they lobbed back in the other direction. >> can you characterize -- who the protesters are? arwa, earlier, these were a lot of peaceful protesters, protesting the loss of green space. it appears there's a lot more violence now.

understandably they've been met with a lot of force. are these the kind of protesters you have seen throughout the last 18 hours, two days, or are they changing? >> reporter: yeah. i mean, look, there's many different layers to the protest -- >> all right, that is a grave concern for us. clearly, cnn crews put themselves in danger all the time to cover war. arwa damon is no stranger to this. she's been in and out of syria. her life has been in danger many times. if we've got a signal issue, we need to clear her and clear our crew. if you have been following, cnn's reporting, nick paton walsh has been watching over the square for 18 hours. a gas mask on for 18 hours. those protesters have ebbed and flowed. only in the last hour and a half, there seemed to be an ebb. now it has escalated again, as

arwa was reporting, hard to make out what she was saying under the gas mask. the police and riot crews advanced on barriers. hard to make it out from the pictures we are showing. there was an advance to push down the protesters' barriers. clearly the escalation at arwa damon's and crew's location. it happens in a flash. it can be dangerous. sometimes protesters have one protest in mind. others can have something different. trouble. big trouble. we have seen that happen with a cbs crew before. we have seen some of our reporters injured. assaulted. clearly a big concern for arwa damon. i don't know if she is able to hear me any longer or if we have any of our reporting staff, or clearance that they're okay. if we can get our producing staff in istanbul some clearance that arwa and her staff are all right. we want to make sure that is okay. here is the other issue. these are protesters -- many of them -- have spent days trying to get a message out. usually about the green space. usually about the innocuous.

it has evolved into something different. the prime minister of this country has the said that he will have none of this. he is using an iron fist, at least with the rhetoric he has been employing in trying to quell what is happening in his streets. to say "this is not turkey. this is not the way we want our international image. i will not stand for this protest in our streets." not being met well. when you send in the riot police in this kind of demonstration with 10,000 people there is bound to be death and injuries. and there have been. upwards of 5,000 injuries so far in the past days and weeks of the protest. today, however, it is an entire different scene that we're seeing play out in turkey. you are seeing istanbul, a center square, but it has been difficult throughout the country. you often hear it characterized as a cultural battle. those who support the president. those who support conservatism. and those who want some kind of change. if you have ever been to turkey, it is very unlike many of the middle eastern countries you may

have heard and seen on the news before. it is very modern. there is a lot of wealth. a lot of advancement. a lot of freedom. a lot of social freedom. it is not exactly what you think of as the typical place that you have seen arab spring uprisings before. which is why this has taken so many people by surprise. there you have it. many of them armed with molotov cocktails. and wooden shields, trying to battle up against a very strong riot police force. i think arwa damon is back up with us. arwa, are you with us on the phone? are you safe? >> reporter: yeah, i'm on the phone. my crew and i are safe. we are fine. we just had to move back a bit. it got pretty intense. we moved into another part of the camp right now. a bit further away from where that tear gas was coming at us. now that tear gas was coming down one side of the camp. one side street. we have now moved toward the other. we can hear tear gas being fired

down that side street, as well. it seems as if the riot police are really trying to push through and clear these streets on either side of gezi park at this point. >> arwa, i was asking earlier, just before it really escalated. what kind of protesters are we seeing there? as this escalates, have they changed? oftentimes we see these things a lot of anarchists can show up. the prime minister called some of these people terrorists. are these protesters just students, run of the mill middle class, people who want change or has it change dodd a different dynamic and a different cadre of people? >> look, the protesters here are multilayered and very different. you have the core gezi park protesters. the people that are constantly, you know, camped out here, the people that showed up here when they were done with work.

they're very peaceful and, they tend to, they stay away from the front line barricades. and they will go out and watch what is happening and come back. yes, you do have these smaller groups that are the ones that are throwing the rocks and molotov cocktails at riot police. it was quite interesting, actually, because earlier in the day when there were smaller clashes taking place, we witnessed some of these gezi park demonstrators trying to calm the situation down. which is what they were calling the stone throwers and the riot police. they got into a heated argument saying it is because of the rock throwing, the curses that were being directed at the riot police, all being met with the tear gas, which is indiscriminatory. you have an escalation of the situation here with the tear gas landing in gezi park itself. for the last few hours. people are incredibly angered by all of this.

but that being said, the vast majority of the protesters are not the ones who, who are acting in an aggressive manner against the riot police. and we do say there is a simple solution to bring all of this to an end, and that would be for the government to reverse its plans for turning gezi park into that shopping mall. but at the same time, as we have been seeing throughout all of this, these demonstrations have devolved into something bigger than the park itself. people are expressing their anger and frustration at the government's increasingly authoritarian rule they say at the imposition of various legislation that they say is because of the government's conservativist, islamic values. bearing in mind that turkey defines itself as a secular nation, one that since modern

day creation, has really prided itself on the fact that it is utterly separates politics and religion. and many of prime minister erdogan's opponents say since he has come to power that is really no longer been the case. >> it's fascinating to hear, to watch, but also a bit nerve-racking as we have been watching you all day, arwa, so, please take the utmost care. you and your crew. ensure that you are safe. we have plenty of camera angles we can cover this from. we appreciate the hard and taxing work that you have been doing throughout the day. arwa damon is live in istanbul, in the middle of that, she and her crew, cnn group with nerves of steel putting themselves at grave risk to bring the story to you as it unfolds live only as cnn can. we have a lot more of this breaking news from turkey coming up. another of my colleagues i have watched for 18 hours, nick paton walsh, with a gas mask, and again an iron gut. he is also watching taksim square and he will join us live right after the break. arthritis,

hot stew saturday!? ronny: hey jimmy, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? jimmy: happier than paul revere with a cell phone. ronny: why not? anncr: get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. want who bring you up to speed on breaking news. what we have been watching in istanbul, turkey. fire in the streets. tear gas canisters being lobbed. indiscriminately against

protesters fighting back against rye yoot police who have just, in the last few moments, encroaching closer and closer onto these protesters, barreling down their barricades and starting up what seems to be yet another escalation in what's been a day, a day of extreme violence in a place that sees it very little. i want to go live to our nick paton walsh, standing by, who has been covering 18 hours of the tear gas volley. not only that, but the rocks and the stones and the water cannons. nick is standing by also. he has got a gas mask on as well. so i just caution you it is a little tricky to make out what our reporters are saying. they have been coping with this, like i said for hours upon hours. nick, can you hear me? >> ashleigh, i can hear you fine. no need for a gas mask at this particular point. down to the left of gezi park, a standoff between police and protesters behind barricade has

basically been dissolved by the police driving a bulldozer and clearing barricade. there is now something else happening on the other side of gezi park. the pictures you are seeing, and police officers donning their riot helmets. in front, the pickup trucks, sent in to clear the debris. that seems to be the focus right now. police operations get as much barricade and debris away as you possibly can. now, i should point out that earlier on this evening we were seeing large numbers of protesters, gathered on the edge of gezi park, the area of green at the center of this protest. we have seen them come to the edge to look at what was happening. and they're not there anymore. there seems to be a drop in the number of people inside that wooded area. we are not quite sure what is happening on the further reach of gezi park, whereas i say, those police are putting on their riot helmet and gathering in number. appears to be getting ready to do something. what is happening closer to me is a swift police operation to clean up the debris of the barricade. they pushed the protesters well back now. we have not seen much tear gas

for a while. it used to waft in regularly. to this position. hence the reason for me doing much of this in a gas mask. now there is quiet behind me. in some ways a little eerie. we are trying to work out of this, the police finally getting dominance over this particular area. standing here for 18 hours now, watching the clashes unfold. questioning what exactly is the broader police strategy how to get control of this vital part of the center of turkey's commercial hub. >> truthfully, nick, a country that is just, a delight to visit. it is so modern. and the people are so friendly. it is one of the last places we might have expected to see this, but for the fact there has been a seething problem between the culture clash of sorts, the conservatives, those not so conservative, and yet you have to wonder if so much of what we are seeing, the chaos on our screens is more a reaction to the brute force that arrived to

try to quash this. because the prime minister said these are terrorists. are they reacting more, that's why there is chaos, or is this truly the explosion waiting to happen for years? >> you know, i think what we saw in these 12 days was initially a protest. conservationists trying to keep the trees, and then so many people wanting an apology for the tear gas. self-fulfilling prophecy. the more police, the more tear gas they used, the more protesters who followed hours later. there was a lull for a week in the police tactics. and now they have come up here again. to go back to the clash of cultures within turkey. so much of what people love about turkey is its break-neck economic development here, thrusting the country into the modern era in a decade of incredible development, which prime minister erdogan was at the core of. but the cost of that has been

much construction, like the plan to remove the trees, the very remaining green space in the center of istanbul where protesters are, and then replace it with a mall or museum. a very ostentatious plan the administration had to resculpt the center of the city here. that is a cost which many traditionalists here in turkey, secular middle-class, intellectuals were appalled by. they wanted to see the old istanbul they knew, their old way of life retained. and they've been concerned that the type of conservatism breached by prime minister erdogan, and he has 50% of the population voting for him. he was really angered -- angered them, and that often became part of what we saw in these protest as long with them being fueled by police tactics. >> nick, americans look at this, they wonder, who are the good guys here? who are the bad guys here? so often we want to tend to side with protesters thinking they're rising up against an oppressive

regime. but doesn't prime minister erdogan deserve credit, a modern country, beaten the odd in the middle east, allies of the united states. we have a great deal of interest in this country. is erdogan winning against the protesters? should he be? >> that's one of the, people say the cost of a economy where the government has so much control. you often see authoritarianism. sorry to interrupt you here. the police seem to be moving in toward the direction of gezi park at this point. we don't know if they're heading into the park themselves or down towards the side of there. but there seems to be phases of this police operation. but to go back to your point. some say the cost of this success, break away economy. government, infrastructure -- a lot of tear gas behind me.

i should let you pay more attention to these pictures. the events are unfolding rapidly behind me. >> we are looking actually live right now. >> see the flashes are tear gas. >> exactly. watching live pictures with you. >> down the street to the side of gezi park. >> and i am not sure if you were able to catch the interview i was doing with arwa damon before we came to your live shot location. but she seems to be at least in some area of the receiving end of a lot of the volley. she also happens to be with a lot of protesters that were getting rather violent. i could see them picking up rocks, debris on the street and using them as sling shots to fire back at these officers. it's hard for our viewers to understand your perspective, nick, as you look down on this scene as opposed to where arwa is. but what we are seeing from this camera vantage point is, is a pretty strong force of a lot of artillery. and vehicles. they have bulldozers. they have got armored vehicles. and they're moving en masse -- can you see what we are seeing? >> yes, what you are seeing

there is a column of police heading down. i was there yesterday. there is a road that heads on the far side of where i am standing down the other side of this square park, gezi park, where so many protesters are. obvious, the police are moving down that. they have plenty of tear gas. you can see many shots fired in that direction. but standard tactic we have seen from turkish police is to saturate an area with the gas, forcing people out. not much you can do, even in a gas mask. you cannot see what surrounds you. they're clearly moving down that road. and i think the broader strategy is to ensure the park is surrounded, if not perhaps partly cleared, simply because the the tear gas blows in with the prevailing wind and makes it pretty impossible to be inside there. but now we are seeing, fair to say, ashleigh, another phase in the police operation. moving down another road. where the one closest to us where we are here, has been cleared in the last hour. they're moving to the far distance, farthest away, and moving down the other side of the park, ashleigh.

>> nick, as we watch this. as we watch these heavy vehicles moving in, it's hard to know what the strategy is, whether they're trying to give themselves cover as this a riot force tries to move in on the protesters or trying to mobilize and show that they have a great deal more force than they did earlier. again, it is tricky with the various camera angles without putting our crews in jeopardy. we can see -- the riot police moving down the street. can you see it, nick? >> yes, we seem to be seeing the armored water cannons, they're moving ahead. police are using them as a form of cover to move down that particular road. i was there, about 11:00 last night. let's pause so you can hear the tear gas. i was there around midnight last night. many buses blocking that road. unclear if they're still there. bulldozers, i understand now

moving into that area as well. we have seen a large presence of bulldozers and trucks coming in behind, to carry away the debris. it is obvious that the police strategy is to get these expanses of concrete free of debris as quickly as possible. let's pause so you can see the images here coming in, ashleigh. >> my gosh, an incredible force. i have been hearing the tear gas canisters going off all day, nick. i am curious. not to suggest you'll know for a moment. you may have been hearing escalation and rhetoric from the government, prime minister erdogan said "they're terrorists." he said, "he'll have no part of this. he will not stand for it." what does that mean? right now, death count is not high. injury count is 5,000. that is a moving target. just how far is the prime minister prepared to go, nick? >> he has shown very little signs of conciliatory, left an apology to the deputy prime minister.

today as we saw riot police move around the protests he was standing in front of mps, saying simply, this is a conspiracy against turkey. i think much of what he is criticized for is hard line stance, lack of compromise, the fact that he doesn't necessarily want to listen to the opinions of those who haven't voted for him. we are seeing quite a lot of tear gas now being used behind me. smoke emerging from behind the park. part of what he is criticized for, not listening to those who didn't vote for him. he referred to those in the protests as being "marginalists, extremists." you heard one of his advisers, described them as "terrorists" hard to see how that balances. i have seen protesters, attacking police with fireworks, molotov cocktails, rocks. that is a hard core minority. the police response has been against the mass whole.

there have been calm protesters, hundreds. thousand of them. they were the ones subjected to a volley of tear gas, four, five hours ago which started this evening's clashes. i think many, perhaps the reason why the u.s. has expressed concern about how this falls out, is to see those peaceful protesters subjected to that kind of police force. >> hey, nick. we are just watching that shot. as you said it, that they were throwing molotov cocktails and fireworks at the police. we could see all the fireworks going off. i know from your perspective, as the it gets darker, trickier to make out strategy. arwa damon is down in the midst of that right now. arwa, you've had your fair shares of struggles just to get through this broadcast in the last 31 minutes. i am not sure you can see what we are seeing, arwa, we saw a riot squad. it looked like under the cover of one of the water cannon vehicles starting to progress down a street. are you able to see that and what effect if any has that had on the group of protesters? [ indiscernible ]

this has only been a development in the last few minutes. the riot police -- [ indiscernible ] [ indiscernible ] you can see the smoke also corresponding to the canisters. i am coming to you live. this is the situation right now, happening all around us. >> these are remarkable scenes you are seeing arwa damon and her crew cover. go ahead, arwa.

[ indiscriminate yelling ] >> must be having a difficult time hearing us, she is an area extraordinarily loud, she has a gas mask on. not optimal conditions for a reporter. she is doing a masterful job of bringing images to you live and reporting at ground level at great risk to herself and remind you the cnn crew with her as well. it is extraordinary as you peer down that street into what seems like endless clouds of tear ga that arwa has been in the middle of that. i'm not sure, it looks as though the desired fact has perhaps been struck by these riot police as many of those who were around arwa just moments ago seem to have cleared away. you can see canisters rolling in. you can see our crew -- go ahead, arwa. no, i think she is under cover.

arwa has got cover. nick, not sure if you are watching the shot we are watching as well. this is difficult for her to cover. difficult for our crew to shoot. but i am not sure the perspective -- is this the street they're advancing on? >> that seems to be the case, yes, i can vaguely recognize it from where i was last night. you are seeing the trees there. the line in the park. and then the police moving down that. to the left hand side, there is a row of quiet high-rise buildings and a hotel, as well. that heads down towards one of the main brand hotels down the street. what we are hearing behind me is a lot of tear gas being fired. and also a real move to clear this square of debris as quickly as possible. i can't -- can't see because of the column of police advancing. we are seeing some police now

near the road closer to us that goes down the other side of gezi park. they are firing tear gas down the road. presumably two remnants of the protests as well. a substantial move by police. another phase here clearly to move down both sides of the park. a square in which all the tents are encamped. there are trees in there. many people still inside. dense conditions there, certainly. just pause so you can hear some of the tear gas. >> we are seeing it go off live. as well as the fireworks. nick, it seems so disorganized from at least our perspective. i know it is nightfall. do we get any sense of strategy, organization, on the part of the protesters or the responding riot police? >> we have seen very little strategy on the whole from the protesters since this began partly down to a lack of one

figure head leader who had coherent demand at one point. certainly the protest in gezi park is utopian, in its ideology. the police, we have been questioning what is their strategy? they have had 18 hours to effect clearing this area. they have, in fact, allowed the protest to grow significantly in number by the evening. then they sent in the tear gas now. they appear at night to be affecting this plan to clear away barricades. so many more questions, quite why it has taken so long? why they need to see more people come in? we are still hearing, i am hearing small explosions, could be tear gas. could be fireworks. really behind me. but a lot of these flashing lights you are seeing. the bulldozers, the pickup trucks being brought in to take away the debris. we can't see what is on the other side of gezi park at the moment.

i am seeing what looks like police firing tear gas in the general direction down the road near gezi park. and much of that wafting into gezi park as well. the wind here a real issue. if it's against you, everything blows into your face, making it irrelevant whether the police have fired tear gas at you or not. of course, life must be difficult inside gezi park now, you are seeing from the pictures, arwa has been showing. but that bid to push protesters, it seems, down the road that runs to the right, the far side of where we are standing of gezi park. as you head down there last night there were buses blocking the way. as you move down towards some of the brand hotels there. that are in this upscale part of istanbul. it must be a -- for those facing the police advance, in many ways, a terrifying situation. >> i think we are just sort of lucky to have a change of wind during this hour where you have been able to report without a

gas mask. i've seen you on since 5:00 this morning with that gas mask and battles against those clouds of tear gas that have pervaded that entire area. on the left-hand side of your screen, a few riot police, firing their tear gas cannons, indiscriminately it seems. maybe strategy we don't see. on the right, the roiter shot of taksim square. from above it doesn't look as dire as it does from street view. listen, nick, there does not seem to be any chance that these kinds of factions while this is ongoing could have what is supposed to be scheduled as a meeting tomorrow. protesters are supposed to be meeting in some fashion with the government. i am assuming that meeting would have been struck before this all devolved. >> certainly. you are asking -- is this intended to improve negotiating position of erdogan. of course. but what kind of negotiation can

be taking place in good faith when you see the police moving in with this kind of force. they will consider any negotiations tomorrow, entirely under prime minister erdogan's terms if indeed talks do happen. you have to ask what is left to talk about here. but the protesters, their demands, at times incoherent as they were, centered around a number of things -- an end to police brutality, end to use of tear gas, and secure future of gezi park and the trees which you've have seen police moving around at this park. so the violence tonight, of course, against the protestors' demands. they also wanted to see people released from the tension and not investigated. that was a week ago. we don't know who has been arrested tonight. why, what the toll of that has been. but certainly, it is a poor environment for negotiation. if anything in good faith could possibly take place at all. i am sure there are protesters saying "look, there is no point attending the talks. we have nothing to gain. they moved against us." >> serious borders of concern,

when you see a country like turkey, a staunch ally of america, butted up against syria, iraq, georgia. these are critical times to see a country having this kind of strife. nick, i will give you've a brief break. we are continuing to watch this. we are also going to check in with our arwa damon, had a very tough go this hour, trying to battle not only the tear gas but also, protesters who encroached very close onto her location. and of course, where protesters are, the response from the riot police also follows. so it's been a tenuous time for arwa. she is safe. we have ensured that she and her crew take the utmost measures to, remain safe, and still, they're able to report this remarkable live story for you. we're back right after this. hey kevin...still eating chalk for heartburn?

yeah... try new alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heartburn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i'm feeling better already. [ male announcer ] new alka seltzer fruits chews. enjoy the relief!

[ laughter ] [ male announcer ] connect all your wi-fi-enabled devices with u-verse high speed internet. rethink possible.

welcome back to cnn's continuing live coverage of a breaking situation in istanbul, turkey. you can see the pictures lit up fire in the square. this is taksim square. what you can't see are the troops that have amassed to try to quash protests that have been going on for weeks but intensified over the last 18 hours. there is police moving in, pushing down the barricades that protesters have set up. the volleys back and forth of

tear gas have been choking. arwa damon on street level just within the last 40 minutes was caught up in what seemed to be a have very instant escalation, a dangerous escalation in which our crew and arwa had to seek shelter. have a look at how that developed live. >> some of the demonstrators are -- [ indiscernible ] [ indiscernible ] >> they're asking for a doctor

to help that man. >> arwa damon is live with us on the phone. we've been watching as your location became increasingly dangerous, and we saw that man injured live during your report. do you know anything more at this stage about death or injury, and what we've seen play out on the screen? has it been as dire as it appears? >> we do not have any concrete information in terms of casualries. since that last report, we've moved to the other side of the park, where there is another road that the demonstrators were occupying, and that was just in the last few minutes. more tear gas canisters were
