10:02 am
by the by the police it's all fairly calm right now going to say the march house stopped it separated by the right place and certainly not going anywhere they did take several people away whether those people are being arrested or just moved to one side it was unclear from where we were stood but this certainly doesn't seem to be anything that's going to be going anywhere anytime soon police and protesters they say locked in a a standoff that isn't moving anywhere at the moment the whole area around the european central bank headquarters here in frankfurt is being turned into something more noticeable of a military blockade than a military defensive point than a bank headquarters barbed wire and fences stopping anybody from getting near that we're going to isis of the event we were right at the front of the march told me that they believe that the. this was planned all along by the police that the large police presence that was out here on saturday was designed throughout this particular corner to disrupt the demonstration and to and to this cause what we are
10:03 am
seeing right now. michael ross from the european financial blog and the new says the unrest we're seeing is being used by authorities to dispense with democracy. this is one step more towards six in the euro zone the eurozone and you has nothing to do with democracy anymore and what i fear most is that all this crisis is you across is leads to a structure that's which are far far away from democracy i mean i don't want a eurozone boss i want somebody whom i can believe whom i can trust and who i'm also able to elect but what's going on at the moment is that to put people in front of us like in the farm when you do as our politicians and their political besides what's going on i think that's not good for the future take also just take america united states of america fifty million food stamps there this is not a no sign so we are we have all of the same problem and maybe the occupy and those
10:04 am
protests that we see are only the beginning of a vast protest and demonstration all over the europe all over europe but also all over the world in jet and united states as well i mean the public. making their way across the highest echelons of the e.u. brussels is taking the u.k. to kill court for refusing to provide european citizens with the same benefits it bestows on britain's westminster's vowing to fight every step of the way to protect its own laws are just as are still us following the story. the european commission is once again looking more closely at the affairs of its member states not one that's making particular noise especially when the citizens of that country is the commission's decision to lodge a case against the u.k. at the european court of justice because the commission says that the u.k. has been discriminatory against nationals of other e.u. countries in receiving welfare now there's already been reaction from the u.k.
10:05 am
particularly angry ones from the government i want to from the work and pensions secretary who says that he will want cave in he says a brussels is once again launching a land grab and over reaching into its areas of responsibilities and meddling into the affairs of national governments now we have spoken to a legal expert to explain to us why the commission has done what it has this is a case where the commission. for feeling that we. know that he wants to have a referendum in two thousand and seventeen you want to renegotiate the tradition. i mean but the. fact that this latest move by brussels has once again brought to the forefront issues like sovereignty of member states immigration or the pressure put on social welfare systems the very issues the really have led to an increase in support for euro skeptic parties and countries like the u.k. the commission is looking also at another country spain it says that it has
10:06 am
received complaints of the e.u. insurance health card which is supposed to entitle citizens to free health care in public hospitals while they're traveling to other countries within the block and it has been refused by some spanish hospitals so one the one hand you have the commission maintaining that it's simply implementing the rules on the other you have accusations that brussels is once again dipping into the affairs of national governments and in the context of a grave economic crisis and very public displays of social dissatisfaction this is yet another stress test for the e.u. as it tries to move forward reporting from brussels i'm tess are cilia. am of the palm tall from the u.k. independence party says the route is another sign that it's time for britain to go it alone when you're in a recession and this country is in a double dip recession at the moment when you have huge amounts of youth unemployment when you have british people who have been put out of work when you have british people whose wages are being reduced significantly because oversaturation of the employment market it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to
10:07 am
have an open border policy to the government and the totally false position on this they're making noises ian duncan smith is saying that they want to put even more restrictions in place but the problem that they've got about this would come from the. e.u. a lot of two dollars it basically tells us that it's another reason why we should get something you want to be and you haven't got some now. and coming up at four thirty pm g.m.t. mexicans are in states herbert explore some of the more unconventional ways of forcing people to pay back their debt restrains labor camps or taxpayers so if you owe back taxes and you don't have any money to pay it well the government is looking for an army camp in the attic or region two people who have debts to the tax authorities serving their sentence confirm the deputy minister for justice in the greek parliament now he's saying this is a more humane solution because they're building these unique death camps. at
10:08 am
a former army base but there won't be any rapists and murderers and other sorts in there so it was just be these bad. you're going with this is compare and contrast here's a country iceland maintain its sovereignty number one and then recapitalized and their smooth sailing toward growth period with their currency intact unemployment is looking good greece unfortunately is locked into the euro and they're just they've been taken over they become a vassal state from the i.m.f. and the from the troika in these global institutions so they unfortunately lost their sovereignty. and what began as a local environmental protest has now spiraled into one of the largest displays of public anger turkey has seen in years dozens were injured when police violently dispersed thousand strong crowds from a park at a sample triggering unrest elsewhere including the capital ankara alissa fallon
10:09 am
from artie's video agency ruptly is there for us in this folly the two days of clashes between what's happening and a sample right now. i don't know i'm standing in the jackson square which has been the focal point of hard times and read the last few days and and it seems like there's been huge fire which is kind of smoke and chilling both sides and to me a lot from where i'm standing what has been set on fire. at the moment everybody's looking at the smarts and again typing president thousands of people who many of you love the most are the sunday aides inside of the capital and throughout the day behind the scenes growing questions we've. seen over the last few days and even even in the streets far away from from that site you can hear the constant line of pig on the cage abscond going off and be a moment to come in do you really really expensive because even in the streets of
10:10 am
quite far away from the focal point i really really show me so to god be just cracking everybody eyes and noses and everybody is welcome of some whole most mosques to protect themselves from it so it looks like we're going to be and not going very long nights in istanbul and of course as being cool school protests again and i'm qur'an of the pas of the country so it looks like what started off as a as a party to advance and i'm peach gentrification protest has developed into a full blown movement calling for the government led by the gun to to resign well these are the pictures that we're looking at were quite dramatic so can you take us through how this mushroomed into widespread public anger how the situation escalated and going to the point where it isn't now. when it seemed like for several months at least i had seen tensions building up kentucky. had been
10:11 am
several. times around a number of issues including the current that's i could governments but i'd be in serious trouble. with why it. was. the government's collaboration with the also invention in syria and beyond a variant parts of the hue that's been going on inside kiev for years which has been the infamous identical in thailand hundreds of people have been sent to prison including high ranking army officials and in this. teaches you name it which has caused. in the country in five times the radio i was an attempt a couple of months ago by participants and so i'm going to reprint them which is one of the largest detention facility in the wild many of the people.
10:12 am
currently being touted as being for a while these tensions are going on beneath the tragic and it looks like. the shopping mall which was. being constructed in the pog was really just a cap today for all of the. underlying i'm going to be sort of for now it seems like it's exciting and it looks like i've been there's no end in sight to listen we're getting to some date from you we're getting any information from the wires here signing on to do news agency in turkey saying the prime minister says police using tear gas against protesters was a mistake of course we are continuing to monitor the situation there with your help with the film for now thank you very much for telling us what's been happening there in the capital down. thank you. now turkish reporter in my here is an olive believes the protests wouldn't have gained such
10:13 am
traction if the police had to wait and so hard. it was very peaceful they were camping there full of three days and the police use the pepper sprays and you knock you guys initially and then just every day just got bigger and bigger you know tens of thousands of people joined on the protests flared so it's amazing to see how very small focus the move into a nation by. clashes and demonstrations so it's that the government thought that these are the more gentle groups that trying to. trying to block. the construction workers but it turned out that that's something that wasn't the case is the police continue to use excessive force and your demands you know of going beyond the park at r.t. dot com you can find live updates on the unrest in turkey including food and photos of the clash as well as witness accounts from across the country. already this is
