into istanbul's taksim square sparking fears of unrest in the tech your city following two days of fierce trade bottles at least two people have been reportedly killed and more than a thousand injured there after a riot police moved in to despise the rally with tear gas water cannons and electric shock. of it was initially a peaceful city. into a nationwide protest involving almost fifty your cities. is in. my hotel faces the tax from square and around two thirty am because of the extreme noise and the smell of something burning coming in from the street and it was really a sight to behold in the middle of the darkest night you saw those red flashes of fires burning in the middle of the square now the protesters have been burning a lot of things around the square starting from kiosks and vendors booths and ending mostly with calls now among those vehicles were police the police trucks

that i have personally seen but also they seem to have been targeting. the satellite to vehicles the trucks the media companies a lot of people are incredibly distrustful of the media especially of the state controlled media to go back a little bit the police did withdraw from texas and square in the early afternoon on saturday and that is led hands of thousands of people started pouring into the square despite the fact that it was essentially permeated with tear gas and pepper spray and there's still puddles of water everywhere from water cannons being used. to this square and that one point it did seem like i was not in istanbul but rather in talk through the square in egypt you have to understand the protests began because the government plans to get rid of a car in the middle of the city it was a peaceful sit in until the police started to break it up using tear gas and essentially excessive force and that is when people. gathered over there in multitudes and they weren't at that point protesting not the plans to demolish the

park but rather they were saying they wanted to save the country from aragon and his policies most of the people that i've spoken to said you can see very street things that they're unhappy about early guns policies and toward syria the increasing islamisation off the country and basically a crackdown on old freedoms particularly in areas concerning media and journalists turkey remains the number one country when it comes to the number of journalists jail when it comes to international reaction we should mention a report by amnesty international which offers happens to be really close to taksim square and they have said and i'm quoting that this was disgraceful use of excessive force demonstrated by police in istanbul having said that the police did seem to be targeting individual protesters there have there are some reports that some people may have lost their sight because of the tear gas being fired at close range there's also reports of police targeting individual shops and stores and cafes which were trying to help out the protesters on the square and the police

were seen to be throwing the tear gas canisters inside but there were also reports that medical very medical association has tried to set up a sort of camps within a so they could help those who were injured in the protests but they couldn't do so because of the tear gas permeating the streets i could smell the tear gas coming into my hotel two kilometers away the streets were blocked off i had to walk around in that area it was really difficult to breathe in fact the first thing that a lot of tourists were handed out when they came to istanbul were a little mouse to cover their faces and really i saw a lot of people with their i did seem like their eyes were burning and they were suffering from the effects of tear gas so we can talk about the excessive use of force and still waiting for any reaction from calls by amnesty international to stop the police brutality. as prime minister recep edda one admitted the police may have used excessive force but called on protest us to stop that demonstrations because the park changes are going ahead political columnists de yeah who is abida

says the thought is might first of all understand what's really behind the protests and change the attitude to the people. there was clearly mainly a defiant prime minister who still pledge that there will be construction projects you know around taksim square and there will be retaliations if these protests such ellen just continue and that one raising phrase was of course at the moment of emotional outburst saying that these people can really go out to the square hundred thousand we can bring certainly one million people a lot of people have been sending the message by these rebels apart from the destruction that cetera to the government to aragorn in particular in person that should be no more patronage there should be nor more humiliation that respect must come back to the political approach and implementation it's not about

a park anymore it's much more about the lifestyle is about culture bob diversity. and on our website you can find live updates on them rest in turkey including footage photos and witness accounts from there also take part on our side vote and share your own ideas on the story with us in the comments section and all that as dot com also an anti social dance ration in the german financial capital of frankfurt this week took a turn for there was where hundreds of riot gear clad officers store into marching protesters spraying tear gas plays then drove the marchers into a tighter and tighter area a suppression tactic known as camp playing the zone of our staff or us. a planned march that was supposed to go right through the middle of all germany's financial capital only lasted five hundred meters people police into the splits in a demonstration and see several different parts now the police have told us that

this is because they asked people to remove mosques who were marching in the green put on see sarah c n n z fascist campaign is they refused to do that then paint was throwing police responded with with pepper spray now this then ended up with a i was long standoff in the sense at all the front we said many people. in the clashes that broke out sporadically between the police and protesters. who were standing there suddenly police moved in and they beat some of us and i

will stop a street there was no reason for that and managed to get out. from work oh this is your policy not ours go away from me paying throwing in the pepper spraying the idea behind blokey paul i was supposed to show the political leaders of europe that they are not happy that they want change and they said that they had a clear message to those leaders in the european union this is book i frankly have been came alongside the release of unemployment figures for the eurozone countries and they made well pretty desperate really saying almost twenty million people are out of work in the eurozone most of them young we're hearing that open almost one in four under twenty five's don't have a job and that's what resulted in many people coming out here on the on the streets of france but to demonstrate. tens of thousands also to come across spain and portugal on saturday to make yet another stand against austerity and

a now you tube channel watch footage from madrid and lisbon they capitals of the two nations among the west head by. our teams you tube channel rocketing to a billion view from the world's beera to finally disasters two events that continue to change our lives join me kevin owen for more on how you helped make t. the first global news channel to reach you tube. details have emerged this week of the killing of a chechen to us every ground by an f.b.i. agent ibrahim to dash or was shot dead during questioning over his alleged link to one of the boston marathon bombing suspects have been reports suggesting he was unarmed at the time that contradicts the f.b.i.'s earlier claims that he had tucked agents with a knife or a metal rod to dangerous father says it's hard to believe he was killed in

self-defense. from the photographs that were sent to me it's evident he was shot six times to the body and wants to the head at the back of the head because it looks like a finishing shot of an assassination to me it looks as if they came to his house like bandits and shot him in cold blood from the photos his house looked like it had been robbed he was questioned for eight hours without witnesses or a lawyer no one can tell for sure what happened there until there is an official investigation the agents say my son attacked them but there were several armed and well trained men even if he lost his temper and became violent they could have restrained him or wound him shoot him in the leg or the arm or the shoulder but what happened was murder complete with a finishing shot maybe my son knew something the police didn't want to come out and they killed him to keep him silent. and investigative journalist and veteran police officer microcode believes the dangerous killing leaves

a lot open to interpretation. there are two glaring problems with what we have has as an already contradictory account from law enforcement about how the events went down the first of which is the man was unarmed and i will hearken back to my days on the streets in one nine hundred seventy six in los angeles where . olympic medalist juan carlos got combative with a bunch of police officers not not one of us drew our guns and we were getting thrown around like rag dolls and we were all trained and we were all very very fit at the time so there's a there's an escalation of force scale which was obviously or apparently not followed in this case but my second huge problem with the law enforcement stories he was supposed to be signing a confession to a triple murder i don't care even if if you are the f.b.i. which doesn't have a good reputation you're us somebody is going to sign

a confession for triple murder you have a minute jail house and a secure setting and the police officer officers law enforcement personnel around him are not armed because he's in a secure setting this was at best for the f.b.i. . horribly mishandled but it sounds to me very much like they went there with the intent to provoke him and stay just shooting standard police procedure everywhere in the world was not followed here. thousands assembled to support a whistleblower bradley manning ahead of his d.-day the soldier finally faces trial after three years of waiting in harsh confinement often leaking top secret documents showing alleged atrocities committed aboard. the health of more than a hundred gone tunnel they hunger strike is going to nice to deteriorate as britain gets caught red handed operating a growing thomas style prison in afghanistan after the break.

this is the wiki on aussie welcome upon islamic jihad her. it's been colder in syria where the prominent islamic cleric branding the assad government quote more. christians the call to arms was made by shaikh use of. his rhetoric reaches a minute is an hour walk through the al-jazeera news network which has made to shake a spot meanwhile three one rebel groups have refused to attend an upcoming peace conference in geneva they signed the ongoing fighting in this one province of and when government and lebanese hezbollah troops have mounted an enormous offensive

one that i don't know if they could change the course of the civil war and. discuss the past week with. has been closely following events in their own country. the leaders of the syrian opposition had in fact announced they will not be participating in the u.s. and russian sponsored peace talks they are saying that has the laws involvement in the bloody civil war really complicates things a little the group itself is highly divided there's questions as to whether they have the syrian opposition have credibility with the syrians on the ground meanwhile president bashar al assad in an interview this week said only a referendum would decide whether he should leave power further complicating things is the decision by the european union which agreed not to renew a weapons in bargo in syria the u.k. and france really led this push to dismantle the bargo which prevailed despite opposition from other european union member states those two countries are saying that this would have somehow helped to ratchet up pressure against president bashar

al assad some of western powers lucy accusing russia at this point of hampering peace efforts with the whole argument about russia supplying assad with weapons how does moscow justify their slots a complex issue russia's plan to ship as three hundred anti-aircraft systems to syria caused a stir this week after president bashar al assad in an interview said that russia will be honoring its defense contracts further complicating things with the israeli elements the israelis have said that they are strongly opposed to this that they are prepared to use force if those weapons are delivered to leave. to keep in mind these are contracts were signed roughly a year before the syrian civil war broke out in twenty eleven russians are not prepared to console the contracts although the deputy foreign minister has said that this is seen as a stabilizing factor that will deter quote what he called some hotheads from considering to send in foreign forces to intervene in the syrian conflict by davies a russian made s. three hundred i myself batteries are supposed to be for defensive purposes not offensive but what about the issue of the use of chemical weapons it came up again

this week can you tell us more about it's a bit murky but according to local turkish media reports the turkish government has rounded up about twelve people with suspected ties to the all in those are fronts this is one of the rebel groups that's affiliated with al qaida that's been fighting bashar al assad on the ground and at least according to one it media reports they've discovered what they said two kilograms of sarin gas a powerful new york talks and now these are not confirmed reports but they do come amid growing concern of the use of chemical weapons by both sides and the united nations human rights investigators have in fact and obtained testimony from on the ground witnesses who allege that the rebels had to used sarin gas and again unsubstantiated testimony but we should it did prompt a response from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. we've warned repeatedly of provocations connected with chemical weapons we've also insisted on investigations into any case related to their possible use including the incident reportedly took place near aleppo we're very disappointed that because of political

games the u.n. has failed to act on this we expect our turkish colleagues to quickly provide a full report on this latest case this issue ation is too serious for those who constantly talk about the chemical weapons problem to keep playing games around it each and every incident needs to be investigated so there you have a the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov calling for an investigation into what obviously is a murky but but serious issue of concern. people gathered in the american city of baltimore in support of bradley manning on the evil one of the most decisive days of his life the soldier faces dozens of charges after leaking top secret files including footage of a u.s. helicopter attack on civilians during the country's iraq a campaign that will have dissipated military trial is expected to begin on monday on his anger blake was at the rally. we're in fort meade maryland in baltimore on monday the court martial against by the first class bradley manning will finally

one is looking. realty of my own government for the crimes committed they're only focusing on yes bradley no bradley i support bradley manning i support what he did i support the revelation of the criminality of my own government and i support accountability from my own government why don't they look at the torture centers they set up in iraq why don't they look at the illegal drones are using all over the world that's the accountability we ought to have we shouldn't be taking one young soldier and trying to put him in jail forever we're dealing really secrets ocracy of criminality of the united states a group of hunger striking going ton of a bay detainees have sent an open letter to their military doctors saying they want independent medical treatment one hundred a maze have been refusing food for months now in a bid to put an end to indefinite detention without charge poor treatment and conditions despite president obama promising once again to spend to speed up the closure will become the situation has only deteriorated more people are being force

fed a procedure considered as torture by the yuan with the number of currently standing at thirty seven more inmates are receiving medical help as well and also he spoke to the father of a gun tom a prisoner who also has the queta detainees in guantanamo committee and. told us what happened to his son after he resorted to starvation. my son been there for eleven years no charges again it's against him it is very difficult for him to tell me what's going on there because that is the district shoes for all the detainees not to talk about the conditions inside the camp but i can tell by the way he looks was so skinny this is the first time for him to put some glasses on his eyes. it looks he looks horrible. he could not concentrate while he's

talking to me he has. affected his body his thinking we are very concerned very concerned about his life on this weeks old person in broiled in a right now about its own go on top of my clothes it was revealed that up to ninety afghan nationals are being detained in secret and without challenge at the ukase camp bastion base and as our friends found out some have been held there for more than a year. u.k. law is described this is a secret facility that was completely off the radar leading some to describe this as the u.k.'s kuantan image in afghanistan but it was a firm and speedy response that we saw from the n.t. and from defense secretary philip haven't just the details emerge of the detention facility in count bastion and of the legal action launched by u.k. lewis on behalf of some of the detainees there were some pretty damning revelations

from these lawyers that these detainees had been held fourteen months now the ministry of defense and the defense secretary admitted that between eighty and ninety detainees being held that they were very quick thing to try to move away and quash these comparisons with guantanamo bay there were two main differences here number one that the afghan detainees they said were being held. in safety now in a member last year we saw the defense secretary hold the trials of afghan detainees captured by british forces to the afghan security forces of the concerns that they might be subjected to torture would be another second reason that they gave was that this wasn't a secret this is the first time that many in the british public will have heard about this detention facility and the u.k.

ambassador. after these revelations saying that this was a principle of national serenity and that the detainees should be handed over to the afghan security forces as soon as possible the question of how to handle detainees has been the most enduring controversy since the u.s. led military campaigns in afghanistan and iraq and certainly until these transfers that made this controversy and these compare parazynski. they don't look like they're going to go a. london. and the british and jeremy corbin agrees that similarities between combat stand and gone tanabe are really striking people are collected all rested as enemy combatants held for very long periods and not allowed normal judicial process just gone. and i think that the legacy of two thousand and one of guantanamo come back. and the

extraordinary rendition process is something that's going to live for a very long time international law has been seriously undermined by britain and the usa and their behavior over afghanistan for the past twelve years the afghan government is supposed to be in charge one tree and those british american and many other soldiers allegedly fighting to protect this government they claim they can't hold prisons over to this government they'll be tortured but instead they're held illegally in these two bases. and just ahead analyse me some woman on a mission to find families on.

a u.s. senate committee has passed a bill that if signed by obama will love the u.s. to put a lot of weapons into the hands of syrian rebels this seems rather odd because many of the factions that are revolting seem like bad people to be arming in fact one rebel faction al nasra which according to the guardian is an islamist organization with links to al-qaeda is quickly becoming the most powerful rebel faction of all of them the b.b.c. even declared that al nasra has been designated as a terrorist organization by the us government itself as it started something like a bad idea to ship weapons into syria on american taxpayers' dollars yet let's just pretend that somehow all these weapons will magically not fall into the hands of al nasra well the free syrian army is that much better they seem perfectly happy to use rape and beheadings and genocide against christian alawite minorities with great glee to get what they want arming radical groups always has blowback if you remember back to just the one nine hundred eighty s. the u.s. funded and armed the television and those mujahideen fighter guys and look how that

turned out the u.s. government seems way too eager to arm radical foreigners and disarm average americans when they should be doing the exact opposite but that's just my opinion. it's technology innovations all the developments around russia we are the future are covered. they didn't i don't know. why now doesn't. mean i'm certain. i'm sushi and six more i am. only been in our french for long dad. i had to mop. and should take care of me.
