the rage against the regime police continue backlogged on protesters now into the fourth day as demonstrators band fury outside what they call an authoritarian government. us on a private bradley manning goes on trial facing a possible one hundred fifty four years in prison for blowing the whistle on the election wrong doings of the american army and i'm sure prosecutors view as aiding the enemy. on crossing the rubicon as becomes the first global t.v. channel to have scored one. look at some of our online video hates he liked mobs.

international news and comment live from moscow this is aussie with me hello and welcome to the program. nationwide. demonstrators clashed with police in several cities protesters demanding concessions from. the return regime the prime minister and his policy. in istanbul with the latest for us. this is the fourth day of protests is that any sign that they are beginning to subside. absolutely the people are just as determined to go back out on the streets whether they work whether they go to school whether they're in any other way busy with their lives know they're still out here in huge numbers especially considering the fact that we now have a first officially confirmed death that is related to protests we have to mention

the fact that yesterday and that is on sunday. when the protests were underway a group. car had slammed into the group of protesters as a result of using one man has died and this is the first officially confirmed the death there have been reports of at least two other deaths which have happened because of police brutality this is a separate entirely separate subject of course considering the fact that police have been you can see with the way they have been dispersing protests that is they use water cannons tear gas rubber bullets plastic bullets pepper spray basically all the arsenal that they have it's going all against the protesters which are now of course the protests are now spreading all over turkey the major ones that. are in of course in istanbul. happening all over the place but of course the epicenter all the entire action remains. where people are out there at this point

thinking that. there's around four thousand people. at this point and there should be more and they're expecting a huge you can see festival even then the protests are actually becoming more and more organized. people are. seeing themselves there's the volunteers picking up garbage there are people organizing different rallies within the protests there are even celebrities who are going to come to these protests tonight so really it's just gaining momentum you can see renay you mentioned tear gas and rubber bullets. at the turkish government doing to tackle the situation house how's it reaction to the. well if we're talking about tackling the situation of by attacking virtually and physically the protesters and then this is how they're doing it in fact the prime minister erdogan is out of the country right now but he did earlier slam the protesters alcoholics extremists and thugs who are out there basically polluting

the city and said that they are undermining the principles of democracy by going out on the streets in rather peaceful protest most of them are peaceful protests this is that is this by the fact that no one has already gone under pressure from several human rights groups and. several countries which were saying that the crackdown on protesters in such a brutal way is really not acceptable. from istanbul irina thank you very much indeed. we talked to. be. demonstrating in istanbul and he says the brutal methods of the police have turned peaceful rallies into a nationwide protests which could eventually lead to a civil. place to protect the trains and the foreign press proportional years of. violence by the police. right

probably demonstrations all around my country really you. won't see anything peaceful demonstration democracy and one patient and the police using excellent violence on the. people there are teenagers there are mothers to be are using community as well but you know what will happen next day because well crime and it's. being sulking and he's threatening to buy. property to try to call examine and get people. angry and angry and angry because using mylan language and doesn't want to stop. the link party is at picking neverland never contact. him poking into it is no. means being the problem and it may turn into the.

group and speculative. it's. for the. human rights group think leading on the scene to national have slammed police brutality in tacky as an excessive use of force is can all have these sales and just what a warning you may find some of the images in this report to stabbing. water cannons do gas and rubber bullets what started as an environmental protest provoked a full scale showed force from the police footage shows disoriented protesters slammed into the pavement by powerful water cannons and often the water's yellow because these are deliberately mixing in pepper spray people who are down on the ground trying to be turned to their senses here a young woman appears to be having a seizure and the police in action aid the people i can resist

against the police while. they never just act while lately. they don't use any walls but the police attacked severely using excessive force i wouldn't call it excessive force it's a monster torture actually similar footage is coming from around forty cities and towns across turkey there are claims the police are deliberately pumping tear gas into residential homes these are among the most violent protests turkey's seen in decades each day more people are wondering whether the government remembers turkey is a democratic republic. my daughter was beaten because of what she was wearing because her attackers were affiliated with the government the police stood by and did nothing this protests this not only for some gezi park is the whole policy of governments under pressure. for. for about ten

years but according to prime minister erdogan the government is the one been oppressed he slammed the broadest as anti democratic and illegitimate accusing those on the street of being extremists organized by outside forces but protests on this scale take on the legitimacy of their own and human rights organizations are already severely criticizing the government's actions he would be r.t. . and let's not. get some reaction from a stumble based i need jason jones mr jones welcome to all sea thanks for joining us so please tell us it was thank you so what time of the reasons for all those tens of thousands of texts to go and protest against the government what do they want well that. well i would i would say that there are probably. many many many reasons why people are there individual reasons to think that set off the environmental aspect of it was only a spark that set everything else in motion. of the people that are out there are

our. government slogans and calling for the resignation of heir to juan however each of their individual reasons probably very different groups because every major protest group you would see in istanbul has is represented out there but it's the mass of people who are not representing any particular cause that is alarming for i think i think for the government point to you do these protests the potential to escalate and take things as far as a revolution. well it's very early to say something like that i don't sense that it would be a fair comparison to to leap to a conclusion compared to any sort of arab spring action that's taken place recently i think that there is a spirit of dissatisfaction here but what is missing is a centrally organized sort of representation there is there is nothing that's

happening that would indicate to me that it's going on all right with the protests do continue and we see people massing it don't look much a palace now intent being to march towards tax and later so it'll it'll be based on those sorts of things is that how this thing plays out yes well i know the police have been cracking down on protesters on the protests but surely the use of force is a chance to fight against violent demonstrations. well you would think so but the excessive balance of forces definitely on the police side i saw people throwing stones and yes there have been people lighting fires the same things that have been in all mass demonstrations that that are sort of uncontrolled like this one seems to be however i would say that the bulk of the people that are there are simply stating their their grievances they're not there to to start fights the the the protesters are often the victims of the violence and the attacks by the police directly it's

not the other way around it's not as if the protesters are in mass instigating this violence from your point of view is it all going to affect international standing and it's a bit to has a twenty twenty lympics. well you certainly could there have been some tweets that i've written that say congratulations tokyo for your twenty twenty did win but we write our editorial from an economic standpoint in istanbul does that and we do think that things like this are important as you see the market the turkish start. some eight percent today already and we see the foreign currency moving out of the country rather quickly lira is dropping in value so any time there is sort of unrest in countries like this that are developing economically i think you see a ripple effect into the international market the u.s. has usually been quick to condemn such crackdowns in other countries is washington

taking this same stunts in relation to its allies in take it this time around. right now i haven't seen anything that would that would indicate that the u.s. policy is to castigate or or cast aspersions upon the minister for what's happening i think they like a lot of other governments around the world that do have relations with turkey are kind of sitting back waiting to see what's going to happen again this is this hasn't turned into a full scale revolution it's more of a. grassroots sort of movement now. jason jones at the same cheap will be a stumble does that say news in results thank you very much indeed probably you know what time thanks very much thank you.

you're watching all see on still ahead in the program reaching a star you tube crossed his story billion views not look at some of all of the views you like best and right after this break.

we speak your language as i think about the war not a day of. programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you. a little turn a deep angles to the stories. here. altie spanish find out more visit actuality. this is all she covers your life from moscow welcome back to the trial of the american whistleblower bradley manning who handed a classified military data to wiki leaks is now under way in maryland the army private faces a list of charges among them aiding the enemy which could land him in prison for the rest of his life he is this a confidant. 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 levo 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. and to speak nor about the trial the just opened up when i joined live by david swanson a peace activist and author of war is a lie and mr swan some thank you very much indeed for joining us he now so the prosecution side of that money and put american troops and they in time nation in danger by exposing the state secrets so you can't really elegant that can you well there's no evidence for it so the argument against it is rather easy to my mind that this is an unprecedented legal case being brought by the government arguing that making secrets public through the media in dangers the united states people by aiding the enemy that is if you make something public any whistleblower any media outlet any were reporter or journalist because some enemy can get ahold of public information you have aided the enemy and they will they will bring evidence that

osama bin laden had in his possession information that came out through bradley manning's leak they will not as far as anyone knows present any evidence that any harm resulted from this to any civilian or soldier in stark contrast to the harm being brought upon so many civilians and soldiers by the u.s. government's actions that this pushback against bradley manning helped end the occupation of iraq which was a great harm to the u.s. people as well as to the people of iraq and her eyes so a kind of punishment do you think he should fade then. i think that he should be awarded the nobel peace prize there's ition at many nobel dot org to do that he's one of the nominees he actually deserves that he actually qualifies under nobels will unlike some other recent recipients i don't think that whistleblowing should be punished and candidate barack obama didn't either. mining has

a large group of supporters around the globe how will they react and he gadfly from prison there is a vigil every day outside of fort meade and i expect that will continue as long as he remains in prison it may move to kentucky it may move wherever he moves but people are going to be very much aware of his fate and he is he is going to be in prison probably for twenty years even if the charges being brought right now are dropped because of what he's already pled to that needs to be overturned this is a gross abuse of human rights this is someone who as far as we do know did not actually aid any attack or assault on any soldier or civilian u.s. or otherwise this is someone who aided the fight against u.s. friendly dictators in tunisia in yemen this is someone who aided the fight against bankers hammering down on reforms in iceland corporations going after haiti's

minimum wage weapons marketers using the u.s. state department as a as a sales firm i mean this is someone who did incredible amounts of good for the world and if he goes to prison for speaking out against crimes as is his duty imagine the the silence that is going to be so deafening in the years to come. right david swanson author and peace activist thank you very much indeed playing site thank you. mining has admitted to being one awaking makes his sources but pleaded not guilty to violating the aspen are shocked the world wide protests were a stage in support of him with people saying the u.s. government is clamping down on the freedom of speech using the twenty five year old to set a freshening example to other potential whistleblowers oh he's marina pardon i how small. 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 website 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 do anybody paying attention to bradley manning. thought of himself at the time of the 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 here in fact of what he did from a place of sort of patriotism he's in no way in time american has never expressed in t. american sentiments in any way in fact he's always said that he is and was driven by the sort of sense of patriotism and and hope. if the united states could be the . great country that he would do that 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 assange addressed washington's allegations that manning aided the enemy by going to wiki

leaks if that precedent is allowed to be erected it will do two things firstly it means it's a potential death penalty for any person you know attributes preaching to a journalist about a sensitive matter secondly it also remember oils the journalist and the publication chain of communication that they would say to the enemy and therefore making him susceptible as well to the espionage act which also has a capital offense and that is a positive thing. us but latter part is part of the us attack. including ourselves broadly we hope this letter finds you healthy and strong daniel ellsberg known as the original whistleblower who 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 it a war on truth telling truth telling specifically about truth that the government doesn't want. truth about government crimes or lies that the public needs to know. if military prosecutors successfully prove that whistle blowing is aiding the enemy then bradley manning could spend the rest of his life in prison a verdict handed down under president obama just to usher in an era of transparency when he stepped into the white house according to new york marina were not r.t. . you have watched hundreds of thousands of our videos on you tube are helping us become before the global news channel to reach one billion online and at eight hundred g.m.t. auntie's kevin owen looks have the ones which proved most popular over the years to
