demonstrators across. the security forces for a fourth straight day. of excessive. anyone trying to make.

a very good morning to all of us here. just after eight in the morning here on. international headlines a wave of. police clashing with protesters for the fourth day running a security forces used tear gas and water cannons as protesters responded with stones and built barricades. tried to break through police lines the prime minister's office many have been injured in the shops and universities being turned into makeshift hospitals the u.s. the turkish security forces to quote exercise restraint and prime minister rejected accusations of being a dictator and dismissed the protesters as an extremist. to push ahead with. that ultimately. reporting. this.

look like a scene from the war burnt cars makeshift barricades. shop windows not exactly what residents of the city are used to this protests is not only for trucks and gives a park this is the. policy of governments we are under pressure. for. for about ten years the current chaos is the aftermath of the protests that gripped not just istanbul but some other cities and towns across turkey prime minister recep tayyip policy on syria the increasing islamisation of the country and a major crackdown on the media these are just a few of the problems turks have with their government many feel it doesn't serve the people but rather works against them when you my daughter was beaten because of what she was wearing because her attackers were affiliated with the government the police to by and did nothing all the. cars from the television they moved

from here i said why don't you move they got direction from the police they couldn't make. life interviews with the people and this is the problem. what happened in turkey was called a disgraceful use of excessive police force by amnesty international water cannons tear gas and pepper spray were all used against mostly peaceful protesters once the police are treated however the crowds turned their anger against the t.v. trucks of the state media accusing stations of failing to broadcast the reality of square hundreds of people wounded and talk of several deaths this is the human toll of the clashes on the street politics is the hottest topic of conversation even an attempt to record an interview turns into a heated debate this is a very strange experience for me and. i can explain. i will

explain my son my grandson after after maybe ten years or five years it began as a quite simple sit and decide because the park people were trying to save some trees in the middle of the city but now they're saying they're trying to save turkey from aragon and his government and they say they won't leave until the prime minister does in istanbul. and with police continuing the use of force against demonstrators are crossed are human rights groups have condemned them saying some protesters have been left blinded by the use of tear gas now this is a video which apparently this is found on the internet but apparently shows turkish police firing tear gas into the homes of civilians separate for the church people who are seeking shelter at a local university and you can see what looks like a huge amount of tear gas used by security forces in the background. a former journalist of the economic press agency says that the current response to the ones

failed policies are both domestic and foreign. for the. before i go one that was never interfering with our neighbors. but. it seems that. under the under government turkey is mainly serving to u.s. interests. interests. also besides this. deep rooted in turkish probably because of our government's so-called kurdish separatists the. kurdish separatists especially accelerated by the great middle east initiative of united states and israel policy if government does not correct its policies or if there is no all. and early election in turkey these incidents and these protests may repeat itself several times in turkey

and i think one should watch out. and you can see the live updates and the latest developments on turkey's armrest online at r.t. dot com also check out the best videos at our you tube channel as the country is swept up in the biggest wave of protests. one hundred and fifty four years the amount of time whistleblower bradley manning could spend behind bars his espionage trial begins later today in america after his arrest in two thousand and ten and that sort of charged with aiding the enemy after a leaked thousands of classified documents online. and off as this report. it was a video that shocked the world footage of a u.s. apache helicopter killing twelve iraqi civilians including two journalists collateral murder the cold blooded brutality of the occupation captured on film it

was leaked by a young american soldier army private bradley manning the video was uploaded to wiki leaks but it would prove to be just the tip of the iceberg the former army intelligence analyst leaked more than seven hundred thousand documents containing classified information to that whistle blowing web site they included reports of torture abuse higher than acknowledge civilian casualties in short an unvarnished view of america's wars now known as the afghanistan and iraq war logs in may arrest seeking approval for his actions manning began a dialogue with a hacker named adrian lebo chat logs that turned over to the government leading to manning's arrest and subsequent confinement now what came next was what proved to be one of the longest military pretrial detentions of a u.s. soldier since the vietnam war bradley manning was held in maximum security solitary confinement in a cell his attorney says was no bigger than six by eight feet and as the number of

charges grew against manning to twenty two he was allowed to plead guilty to ten lesser charges this in exchange for a maximum sentence of sixteen years now by december two thousand and twelve when he took the stand to testify about the conditions that he endured he had been in confinement for more than one thousand days now the freedom of the press foundation broke court perscribe rules it released bradley manning's explanation of his action in his own words to the public today june third bradley manning's court martial will pursue the remaining more serious charges including aiding the enemy judging by what manning has already said that or a prisoner of a maximum security facility and a hostage to your conscience of course the question of whether the young man will spend the rest of his life in prison will be answered at this trial. private manning has admitted to sending materials to wiki leaks but disputes the main charge of aiding the enemy which carries a potential life sentence sean

a former m i five whistleblower who says that president obama has an appalling track record when it comes to cracking down on people seeking to enlighten the public and it's very difficult for the whistleblower to fight any personal attacks which he used to undermine him and i've seen this time and time again for example they will always try and ruin her reputation the whistleblower rather than address the issues that he has raised here she has raised and this is what they do time and time again with whistleblowers they will always attack the personality of the person exposing the crimes and not address the crime of ahmed al has an appalling track record he has reanimated an old law which is the one thousand nine hundred seventeen espionage act in america and he has used it i think six or seven times so far during the presidency to persecute and prosecute and threaten whistleblowers now this is more than all the other us president in aggregate in terms of use of the espionage act to crack down on whistle blowing and the fact that he's now using

an antiquated piece of legislation that supposed to protect america from espionage against journalists and whistleblowers who act in the public good i think is just disgusting. private manning says he leaked the material because he felt the people had the right to know that the u.s. military had little regard for human life when fighting its wars in iraq and afghanistan there have been worldwide demonstrations in support of the embattled army private over the weekend thousands rallying in front of the courthouse where the trial will take place for example canada germany or even south korea they've all seen similar rallies and as r.t. as more important i reports his court martial process begins at a time when the u.s. is accused of being anything but truthful or transparent. the military court martial against private first class bradley manning begins at a complicated time for the obama administration u.s. journalists have been spied on an unprecedented number of whistleblowers have been in prison and access to the truth many say grows increasingly harder by the day we

have a severe problem with transparency and secrecy in this country that's for sure our problem is a cult of secrecy extreme levels of dystopian secrecy washington classified ninety two million documents in the year two thousand and eleven that's the last count we have to put things in perspective what bradley manning leaked is less than one percent of that the former army intelligence analyst has admitted to leaking hundreds of thousands of top secret military and diplomatic documents to the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks in february manning pleaded guilty to ten of the twenty two charges he faces the twenty five year old said he wanted the public to know how the u.s. military campaigns in iraq and afghanistan had little regard for human life it should be clear to anybody paying attention that bradley manning. thought of himself at the times in whistleblower that he did what he did because he thought he was making the world

a better place and that contrary to the way he's been represented by some people he in fact it really did from a place of sort of patriotism he's in no way anti-american and has never expressed anti-american sentiments in any way in fact he's always said that he is and was driven by a sort of sense of patriotism and and hope that the united states could be the this you know sort of great country that he could do with the prosecutors however are pursuing a court martial on the remaining charges including the espionage act and aiding the enemy which carries a life sentence in prison in an interview with democracy now julian a songe addressed washington's allegations that manning aided the enemy by going to wiki leaks if that president is allowed to be erected it will be interesting for a slightly. it means it's a potential death penalty for any person you know attributes preaching to

a journalist about a sensitive matter but secondly it also orioles' the journalist and the publication shereen of communication they would say to the enemy and therefore making him susceptible as well to be espionage act which also has capital offenses and that is it was the. us that latter part is part of the us attack. including myself bradley we hope this letter finds you healthy and strong daniel ellsberg known as the original whistleblower leaked seven thousand government documents to the press in one thousand nine hundred ninety one revealing the truth about the vietnam war more than a war decades later he says the u.s. government is going to even greater lengths to keep the public in the dark call of the war on truth telling truth telling specifically about truth that the government

doesn't want. truth about government crimes or that the public needs to know. if military prosecutors successfully prove that whistleblowing is aiding the enemy then bradley manning could spend the rest of his life in prison a verdict handed down under a president who promised to usher in an era of transparency when he stepped into the white house reporting from new york marine upward not r.t.d. . the money which ariel's was the biggest security leak in u.s. history and a source of embarrassment for the government as well but professor marjorie cohn from the thomas jefferson school of law there's things that he should be considered a hero for what he did. his actions led to the withdrawal of u.s. troops from iraq because george w. bush when he was president may go she aided a status of forces agreement to withdraw u.s.

troops by a certain date and obama tried to extend that date to keep the u.s. troops in iraq because the year rocky's had seen some of the things that bradley manning had leaked to wiki leaks including things that revealed the commission of war crimes against the iraqi people they read huge to give the u.s. military troops immunity from criminal and civil prosecution if they remained in iraq past this date and so obama was forced to go to withdraw the us troops from iraq so for this reason it's very important that bradley manning week what he did and for that of course he should be considered to be a hero there is a contradiction here there's an irony the officials and the lawyers from the bush administration who waged an illegal war in violation of the u.n.

charter in iraq who come who devised a policy of torture and abuse we should violated the geneva conventions and constitutes war crimes have never been brought to justice they have been shielded by the obama administration if bradley manning had committed war crimes the way the bush officials and lawyers did instead of revealing them then he would be a free man today. or maybe this is an hour or so thirty years. earlier. there. live from moscow this is. if you missed anything on air you can always find many stories and brilliant pictures prepared by our online team here's a quick taste of what they've got lined up for you. to. women's from mother nature just a click away online you can travel to russia's siberia snow blanketed the region at

corruption involving some of europe's biggest leaders. and three people are dead and several more are missing as devastating floods sweep central europe the czech republic has been hardest hit with one home collapsing outside prague killing two authorities have declared a state of emergency in soldiers in the capital of piling up sandbags in attempt to save the old center from the water the heavy rainfall also triggered deadly landslides in austria and homes are being evacuated across southern germany austria and switzerland. news that an israeli amusement park has been opening up on separate days for jewish and arab school trips is being seen as the latest sign of an inherent state of racism and a tendency towards segregation street attacks against arabs also appear to be on the rise and often involve youngsters resorting to violence to express their anger but as a reporter they could merely be following the example set by the older generation.

of the three hundred million arabs in the middle east north africa or only israel's arab citizens enjoy real democratic rights. but statements like this are small comfort for arab israelis whether or not they enjoy the right to vote they face every day problems of a more pressing nature three months ago tell of if street cleaner her son was five was badly beaten up for no other reason than that he's our. however there were a lot of them said to me hi arab i said what do you say that i mean what's the difference jewish then another guy came up to me and said you want a country arab or. the next thing the father of three remembers is being hit on the head with a bottle. so everything went black i fell to the ground they started kicking and hitting me my lawyer told me that when they were held by the police they heard the

kids competing among themselves who hit me the most. violent racism among israel's youth has been growing steadily for some time we went undercover and this is what we found a typical thursday night in downtown jerusalem young israeli teenagers hanging out in the streets it might be alcohol drugs or just plain boredom but suddenly a fight breaks out undercover police arrive in seconds a few days later we need a lawn a guard at the same spot he spent many days and nights here trying to help troubled youth the very a lot of poor population living in jerusalem and the racial element is only a part of things that they're experience more come from poverty their parents. have nothing they're working all day and they have no. control over where their children are a lot of them are outside of the outside of school dropped out of school this is

the generation that witnessed the second intifada as young children the scars it left are deep those are the lessons that were exposed to terrorist attacks and develop post-traumatic symptoms they tend to exercise twice as much risk taking we have behaviors that tacking innocent people just because they are arabs was no provocation whatsoever and that's very typical of people who feel in survival mode his son is the latest. in a growing number of racist attacks by israeli youth against arabs and arab and jewish teacher we simpy beaten up when the exit of a car and an arab commuter was attacked while waiting for a train. they get the inspiration from grownups you don't show any sign you want peace live side by side the result of the conflict or this stalemate because they are tension and the wars and all the incidents and all the clashes that you see no
