12:05 am
a full scale schol force from the police footage shows disoriented protesters slammed into the pavement by powerful water cannons and often the water's yellow because we are deliberately mixing in pepper spray people 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 all the people. resist taking all this violence. they never just act why lately. they don't use anywhere else but the police attacked severely using excessive force i wouldn't call it excessive force it amounts to torture actually similar footage is coming from around forty cities and towns across turkey there are claims the police are dilute the pumping tear gas into residential homes these are among the most violent protests turkey has seen in decades each day more people are
12:06 am
wondering whether the government remembers turkey is a democratic republic. because i was in the wrong. we thought that if. we did nothing to deserve this protest it's not only for tax and gives a fuck it's the wall policy of governments under pressure. for. for about ten years but according to prime minister erdogan the government is the one being oppressed he slammed the broadest as anti democratic and illegitimate accusing those on the streets of being extremists organized by outside forces but protests on this scale take on a legitimacy of their own and human rights organizations are already severely criticizing the government's actions he would be r.t. . and a widespread protests in tokyo they do pose a real challenge to the government back to the modeling is resignation eric war

correspondent and a columnist he says of the ones policy has angered many layers to their society what we're seeing is. an assembly of anger from the left and from the right on the left there logical issues but a lot of turks are angry of majority here and at the government for supporting the rebellion in syria on a road funding morning directing the syrian rebels most turks don't like this. so here we have the syrian war beginning to slip over and turn. on the floor writes a secularist angered by government attempts to limit the sale of will not end it and solution and scarves and other none of which are life issues but they are all taken as battlegrounds by the ants. in the
12:08 am
protesters. good morning from moscow it's a nearly ten minutes past eight here in the russian capital prosecutors on day one of whistle blow a bradley manning's trial said that he knowingly aided the enemy by handing of a secret cables to wiki leaks the army private is responsible for the biggest security leak in u.s. history and faces life in prison more details here from blake. private bradley manning twenty five year old army intelligence officer is accused of giving military files to the website wiki leaks in turn aiding the enemy according to military prosecutors though those prosecutors said that when private manning uploaded files the anti-secrecy website wiki leaks he did so with the intent to
12:09 am
harm. or to protect now supporters of manning gather here to a rally in support of the soldier who that they deem a whistleblower but prosecutors painted a much different picture of private manning when army prosecutors delivered their opening remarks they said that private manning was someone who knowingly and willingly went to wiki leaks with the purpose of bringing harm to the united states now something that was very very significant that we saw here after three years of waiting for the court martial finally get underway was that prosecutors really tried to bring a connection between private manning and joined us on the publisher of wiki leaks now asuncion his attorney michael ratner and have spoken at length for years now about how this trial the trial against american soldier is going to be used to bring charges against we keep in turn assad could be executed u.s. and perhaps even sentenced to die so the way things wrap up here and perhaps twelve weeks time is going to really play in a pour in part in deciding how the u.s.
12:10 am
goes against wiki leaks in the last couple of weeks we've actually seen all more and more examples lately of u.s. prosecutors killing against journalists and other news agencies for so-called leaks defense attorney for private manning portrayed him as a hero david bloom's hopes that the u.s. government will realize that this is a person who had no intent on aiding the enemy and simply wanted to expose crimes that he thinks the world has better. believe it or know it comes reporting on the manning trial has made it the target of a hacker attack a website was down for around five hours before coming back online a group calling itself. t.v. leaks claiming responsibility they said artie's coverage of traitor bradley manning and cyber terrorist julian a songe prompted them to do it the same organization carried out a similar denial of service attack in august last year when the wiki leaks founder launched his interview program exclusively here on out saying. well military
12:11 am
prosecutors say they will introduce evidence that osama bin ladin not only accessed we can leaks information but benefited from it but david swanson a peace activist he says and there's no evidence bradley manning's leaks actually harmed any point 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 he
12:12 am
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 i think that he should be awarded the nobel peace prize ition at many nobel dot org to do that he's one of the nominees he actually deserves that he actually qualifies under no bills will unlike some other recent recipients i don't think that whistleblowing should be punished. and whatever sentence manning ends up getting will be cut by one hundred twelve days after a judge ruled he had suffered harsh treatment during the initial detention three years ago united nations torture one mendez looked into manning's treatment and said he never received satisfactory answers from the u.s. government that we can call them but they certainly engaged the united states
12:13 am
government. to help me understand why he would be held in solitary confinement first in iraq and then in the quantico marine corps base here in washington the explanation that i was given for the first eight months i considered insufficient i issued a report that i submitted with the rights council of the united nations in which i said that his eight months of solitary confinement was unjustified we do this while i'm in. it was pursuing the regulations that the military applies in court martial proceedings and that it had to do with the gravity of the charges against that we've seen to me before someone is found guilty. or grievous to apply so to an extreme version. only because the charges are seen in the other. me or were they called once in the arm but they did not explain what kind of
12:16 am
u.s. federal prosecutors have shut down. which was shut down. and the wake of the investigation into the lives he was of bitcoin is now in the file the knowledge is six change of the digital currency is now requiring all accounts to be verified as the u.s. pulse pressure on the coins to get more insight into all that they find now joined by christopher hall from the institute of them as you mark his highlights tina crisp ok tell me do you think this demonstrates that the u.s. so threatens as well as the u.s. economy economy will no longer have the current say do you feel there's
12:17 am
a threat going on here as well i think that the federal reserve isn't threatened so much by the loss of the dollar is the reason they're there and because it's. not going to bring down the dollar i think they're more worried about alternatives to the u.s. dollar being out there and that kind of undercutting u.s. monetary policy actually taking away the anonymity quite remove one of the argument that government has again right but to think that the whole point that people go to all of the bitcoin is because the trust of of global central banks is getting is dwindling i would agree with that it's our really i don't think there is global central banks are actually coming out and saying we have a policy that is going to make your money worth less so we are looking for these other channels that work well or not i may just take you further off the grid but i don't think it's the only reason that people are attracted to this point in the other currency what about the future of the coin then do you think that it will be
12:18 am
hot from these accusations old definitely i think through what's happened from liberty there or it will be hurt because they lumped together as alternative current days under this larger heading i think the going will survive but it is going to continue growing in that demand will it become more of a target i would say in terms of the government looking at the scene was happening with the euro. still going on greedy little shaking outside but it's still shaking out the arrow is going to replace the dollar and now it's not news really nothing else out there that is going to dollars we really kind of started only just begun to tinker and experiment with the limit. free banking of alternative currency they're going to be more sophisticated they're going to be different and they're going to be better and. similar competition for the u.s.
12:19 am
on that. exactly and more competition among parent b. which is really a good thing. well the monsters of global finance are finding it rather hot probably the idea that austerity is the onset of the world economic doldrums and not conjoin state but have a look at a new fiscal trend. as a more austrian school the only economic theory today is potemkin ism according to wikipedia the phrase potemkin village was originally used to describe a fig village built only to impress the phrases values typically in politics and economics to describe any construction a literal or figurative built soley to deceive others into thinking that some situation is better than it really is potemkin is policies include quantitative easing interest rate cutting market appeasing boondoggle building help to buy schemes george. well of course everybody's talking about this potemkin village in northern ireland built for the g eight northern ireland is building
12:20 am
a fake town with government money to make it look like austerity work the butchers business has been replaced by a picture of a butcher's business across the road is a similar tale a spall business premises has been made to look like an office supply store so as you see as well from this image here this is the fake butcher shop it's not actually a thriving business it's a dilapidated rundown business. you can catch on much cause it's full program later on at seven thirty pm so. for now u.k. health care bosses are worried about the pressure being put on hospitals by all star to warn patients will have to wait longer for treatment if indeed they can get it at all and the government is trying to push through twenty billion pounds worth of so-called efficiency savings polyploid going to form a hospital executive and whistleblower who says target driven decisions are simply putting lives at risk. it's
12:21 am
a system unlike any other one of the world's largest publicly funded health services but britain's n.h.s. is facing growing problems austerity means cuts to vital services at a time when demand for their services is that an all time high perhaps more concerning for many is a raft of scandals regarding substandard care at n.h.s. hospitals around the country february saw the publication of the francis report which looked into failings of care at the mid staffordshire hospital near birmingham where over one thousand people may have died needlessly as a result of patient neglect the outgoing head of the n.h.s. who presided over the scandal has even been dubbed the man with no shame and there's been accusations of failings of care at all the hospitals around the country gary walker is the former chief executive of the united lincolnshire hospitals trust he lost his job after trying to alert his bosses to the fact that patients were risk gary you tried to tell your bosses what was happening what went
12:22 am
wrong at the hospital where you were working back in two thousand and nine like today we had hospitals that were. stretched we had something like ninety nine percent occupancies and we said well in that situation with so many patients we couldn't deliver the targets anymore the response was well you need to deliver the targets whatever the demand and if you can't do it we'll get rid of you and anybody else who says. the very beginning it's about politicians. it's about civil servants doing whatever it takes to do that now you say you were silenced why. because i raise concerns with david nicholson the head of the n.h.s. i raised concerns with senior people in the department of health and all of. that information never to become public we've got more cuts on the way what's the future of the n.h.s. can the national health service get over this i think unless you go on a study you can't convince people why there needs to be so you. we know.
12:23 am
now that's twenty percent of the budget so that means you know. potentially need to close so i think what's happening is. you now have many people raising concerns you need to do something. new reports out from the british medical journal says that patients are more likely to die if they have operations near the end of the week. and of course. because some of the other stories waiting for you on our website or. go to. the militant organizations branch in northern syria a. government.
