nato summit in chicago marked by mass demonstrations resulting in fierce clashes with police a dozen reportedly injured and about sixty arrested after officers started using batons to disperse a thousand strong crowds artie's anastasio churkin has more. today certainly was unprecedented for a week of action taking place here in chicago along the sidelines of the nato summit what we witnessed was a march that lasted a few hours that was overall peaceful that ended with violent clashes between riot police and anti-war protesters hundreds of police clashed with hundreds of outraged protesters there were tons being swung by police plastic bottles being thrown by protesters. being thrown violence at least twelve people from what we know have been injured at least sixty people arrested there were several warnings from police coming that they might have to use chemical on the protesters unless they dispersed

that had not been the case of violent clashes leading faces a lot of chaos about one hundred one hundred protesters were really involved in the action whereas many of the majority of the ones marching were able to disperse before violence kick started here on the ground the co-director of the anti-war international action center sara flounders is in chicago and says the action taken against the demonstrators in her opinion shows nato feels threatened by their cause . the very fact that so many thousands of people came out from all across the country and the one message that the police and nato has tried to make is to blame all violence here is his war machine responsible for violence around the world from drone attacks to to bombings to attacks at war in in afghanistan libya syria threats from iran and yet they are calling the demonstrators violent they have spent the weeks and weeks and weeks saturating the media here with wild

completely inaccurate cyber catered stories about how the demonstrators are violent they actually have charged young people with terrorism charges a million and a half dollar bail they kidnapped people right off the street to the lawyers spend days trying to find they would not have done that if they did not feel enormously cigarette and that right here in the u.s. there is a denunciation of nato of its wars and demanding that the troops be brought home from afghanistan that there be no new wars and the end to this skyrocketing military spending while every social program here is cut it wouldn't be doing any of this if they didn't feel threatened. the protests unfolded on the streets outside the nato summit some big announcements were being made inside talks mainly focusing on afghanistan

a european missile defense with the block chief saying the shield is up in the running with quote interim capability or he's got a jacket on has more. this is the first step of base multi-stage missile shield program in europe nato secretary general says for eighteen months they've been working on technical legal issues now they're on track to carry out the program in full because the first stage involves mobile interceptors those are the interceptors and radars installed on ships the plan is to have land based elements of the system deployed by twenty eighteen countries like romania poland the czech republic the netherlands those are going to be systems designed to intercept more and best weapons the missile defense shield that the u.s. is building in its in europe is a very contentious issue it's been a point of bickering between russia and the us for many years now russia says the shield has the potential to offset the strategic balance that will make russia kick steps to restore their balance that is to deploy more weapons something that russia doesn't want to do nato is saying that the system is designed to counter possibly

a potential threat from iran but iran doesn't have the kind of weapons that the show is intended for also the us refuses to give legal guarantees that the system will not be aimed at russia at some point so it's a huge issue which is not just about trust it's also about guarantees afghanistan is at the forefront of this year's nato summit agenda its member states are going to coordinate this their steps of withdrawal the u.s. is the key member is of course calling the shots american troops are set to leave afghanistan in two thousand and fourteen but under their new agreement with ghana's then they will remain in certain numbers as the u.s. claims in in a supporting role the general perception among experts is that nato as war in afghanistan has been a failure as much as the u.s. is trying to truly coat it with the eventual killing of osama bin laden still the war ended up in raging the local population fostering a new kind of extremism also drug production became rampant in afghanistan during

the years of occupation and it's billions of dollars that go to support terrorists and organized crime networks around the globe that's the kind of work against them . nido is leaving behind nato is also facing identity crisis in a way the alliance is supposed to be about defense but it has long taken up the whole of an offensive force the bombing of libya had nothing to do with defending europe or north america you saw thousands of people in the streets of chicago protesting against nato because they fear that in order to sustain itself to make it to make itself useful the alliance is in the business of making wars rather than stopping them. russia expected to get a new government monday when recently inaugurated president vladimir putin unveils his team of ministers the deadline to form a cabinet expires tuesday but the leadership says it's taken so much time because of the need for a significant shake up artists are for a class more. these appointments can really give us that the tell you that the president wheaton but of course they come against the backdrop of the president
