a very good morning to you from all of us here in moscow it's about just off a ten am here in the russian capital. with the worldwide headlines. the unrest in turkey has claimed a second life police already facing widespread criticism for using excessive force being accused of being behind the killing of a twenty two year old man let's get more on this now. joining us live here in istanbul hello to you from moscow every now can you bring us up to speed here what do you know about this latest death. well at this point the details are somewhat murky again the man who is a twenty two year old man did die after his sustaining a head wound during the night's protest in the south of turkey in the city of kentucky and now some of the some of the protesters are saying that this apparently the shot came apparently from

a police car however this information we have to stress this hasn't been hasn't been confirmed yet so we have to wait and see for at least somewhat official results whether or not this indeed was a case of us to hear police brutality of course earlier on sunday there was a young man also died after a car slammed into a crowd of protesters he also died from his injuries so far these are two confirmed deaths but the people on the street that we have been speaking to they're saying that they have personally seen people work who were killed and they've seen at least four or five people who are dead at least to this to the about more than sixteen hundred people have already been injured and more than a thousand will have been arrested in the clashes which continue for the fourth day we're looking at something probably something that turkey hasn't seen in quite a while and the magnitude of protests you have to understand it with every single day just in the last three days that i was here at the there is more and more people coming out on taksim square going to get the park just in istanbul alone the

numbers seem creasing and people are i have to say most of them are really peaceful protesters now their decision is somewhat different in a different part of the city just a couple of kilometers from here and that is where where clashes between police and protesters rage on through all through both throughout most part of the day once it gets a little past the afternoon that the protesters there are actually targeting the prime minister's offices are in there and they are being we tell you the police are retaliating with tear gas water cannons rubber bullets plastic bullets basically the using everything they have in their arsenal to combat the protesters. now at the same time you have to understand that the prime minister no one is actually on a trip abroad he was speaking in morocco yesterday and he said that the situation in turkey is calm and that when he gets back in a couple of days everything will be back to normal and the people that we have met

here the journalists have been covering this as well local turkish journalists there saying that this is a sign of either a major crackdown on protesters that the government is planning or the area one simply doesn't know what he is exactly dealing with and another rather important thing to note at this point is that it does look like there is sort of a rift in the government because we do have a president good in turkey who has already condemned police for being too brutal he was the one who called off the police off the taksim square. during that we can protest and he is meeting with representatives of the major opposition parties in order to try and establish a way to solve the situation in a peaceful way without using force but he is actions and his words the message from from the protesters has been certain have been heard that that has been disregarded by prime minister erdogan who said that the president that he doesn't know what the president is talking about so this is

a very interesting situation in turkey that we're witnessing and of course we'll continue to keep a very close track of it throughout the coming days for you or a head there when i do believe we have some common from some of the protesters who have been partaking now for the past several days on the waters. around the country as you were saying a moment ago let's have a quick listen to see what they have to say that we're looking at groups not only low years here are some doctors which is the organization of to the community of the nation asking the government to resign they become a union here do to do to do illegal acts of the government it becomes worse and people starts protesting i think people who continue to protest and governments cannot stop people by only. putting some goes in the your trades. well human rights groups have also hit out at the security forces in turkey for their brutal response to the protests go to prison off looks of the accusations i should warn

you though you may find some of the images in his forthcoming report disturbing. water cannons dear gas and rubber bullets what started as an environmental protest provoked a full scale show 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 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 i can't resist taking all this violence. they never just x.y.l. lately. they don't use anywhere else but the police at acts 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 dilute the 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. a. water cannon because i was in the front. we thought that we're going to die we did nothing to deserve this protests it's not only for tax and gives a fuck it's the whole 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 street 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 widespread protests in turkey pose a real challenge to the government with activists demanding its resignation let's get more on this now from journalist and author andrew finkel who has a extensively covered the region hello to you sir thanks for joining us here on r.t. today we've seen the first deaths in turkey now just how far do you think this could go. well it's difficult to say i have no crystal ball of course but it's clear that there is an opposition movement forming against the government willy outside the confines of the traditional political parties whether they will continue to share this opposition in the streets or whether they will. be able to simply become a political force within turkey it's it's really not quite clear however the notion that turkey will go back to normal by thursday by the time the prime

minister gets back from north africa there's a little bit of wishful thinking i i don't think anyone thinks that turkey of the next week will be similar to that interview but we certainly does seem rather convenient that the turkish prime minister is out of town on a business trip a jury these unprecedented protests and a brutal police reaction to them many people already comparing what's happening in turkey to that of the arab spring not far away regionally the prime minister saying that's absolute nonsense do you agree. absolute nonsense is perhaps an exaggeration but it is made perhaps a misleading comparison people have also compared it to develop a drug pollution and drugs say we resemble ourselves and there's something certainly intrinsic to turkey about what's happened i mean why it's different from the arab spring is that mr out on is a prime minister who was elected he was elected to three consecutive elections each time he got a little bit more of a vote if there were elections tomorrow many people of being big he would still be

elected he said the other day that you know you have one hundred thousand people on the street i could get a million well this may be a little bit of a threat but it's also possibly not an exaggeration only i do say that there are many already who are calling on are the one to quit i mean is it perhaps time some some worldwide analysts saying well western leaders now join the chorus and tell no one to quit like they did with assad in syria and khadafi in libya. well the thing about assad in syria is that he won't quit he will go to a general election if that's necessary i mean he he it's not a question of him being ousted from power by tanks and bullets turkey for all its faults is still a democracy and if it would simply be a question of his government i'm sorry but you know you bring up the word democracy that turkey is still a democracy if that is the case then what do you think of the government's handling of all of this crisis because ultimately as we've said before and many are saying unprecedented brutality on the part of security forces against protesters who

apparently are just trying to have their freedom of speech right it seems to many that's been taken away well certainly no one would defend the way the police have handled this riots and indeed many of the outrage a feeling which we're seeing on the streets is very much the result of the way the police handled you know sit down tree hugging protest in the center in istanbul square had they not gone in with tear gas and set tents on fire and batons blazing then a lot of this outrage which we're seeing would not have happened some of the outrage would have happened a lot of it is frustration at the way the government has been ruling by its government and what is the solution to this problem the solution to this problem is not you know people standing on tanks and. you know storming the presidential palace the solution would be for a government to go to a poll about what happened and i'm going to sit on it with five days

a week as i'm president of violence here and the people certainly make an air force is heard andrew finkel author and journalist are joining us later live here on our table just have to see how it pans out thank you for your time today. it's good to have you with us here in oz he today i'm rover sushi in moscow prosecutors on day one of whistle blower bradley manning's trial they say that he had knowingly aided the enemy by handing over secret cables to wiki leaks the army private is responsible for the biggest security leak in u.s. history he faces life in prison let's get more on this now plague. 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 those prosecutors said that when private manning uploaded files the anti-secrecy website wiki leaks he did so with the intent to harm very good or to protect now supporters of manning gather here rally in support of the soldier in me that they deem for whistleblower but prosecutors painted a much different picture by the end when army prosecutors delivered their opening remarks they said that private manning was the one 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 i have spoken at length three years now about how this trial the trial against an american soldier is going to be used to bring charges against wiki internal assad to 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 an important part in deciding how the u.s. goes against wiki leaks in the last couple of weeks we've actually seen more and more examples lately of u.s. prosecutors going against journalists and other news agencies for so-called leaks defense attorney for private manning portrayed him as a hero david who 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. reporting on the manning trial has made it the target of a hucker attack a web site was taken down for around five hours before coming back online of the group which claimed responsibility said they did it but. of coverage of bradley manning. who they called a traitor and a terrorist the same organization carried out

a similar denial of service attack in august last year when the wiki leaks founder launched his exclusive interview program right here on our save. part now with this video right here of iraqi soul excuse me american soldiers are shooting civilians children among them as well it's become infamous bradley manning's leaks contain plenty of other key information and the documents highlighted the operations of the notorious background detention facility of course starts in afghanistan they revealed the prisoner numbers for example and transfers at a facility which seen allegations of wide spread torture of their own descriptions of unreported friendly fire incidents between coalition and afghan forces in fact these leaks also showed that around fifteen thousand more civilians died in iraq than previously thought activists that they made up about eighty percent of all deaths and it's revealed that people are not deemed a threat were held and tortured kuantan i'm obeyed to extract intelligence that

despite the u.s. claiming the prison is only there for dangerous militants david swanson he's a peace activist he says it wasn't these documents at all that were doing any harm . 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. brack 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 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 alfred nobel's will unlike some other recent recipients i don't think that whistleblowing should be punished. well still to come for you here want to unfit and ailing us scuse me the united kingdom health care system are taking the brunt of austerity the patients are expected to suffer as the government pressures hospitals and clinics to meet its savings targets here dotsie we talked to a former hospital employee and the whistleblower after the break.

we speak your language. programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you. a little turn to angle story. here. spanish. visit.

good morning to you from moscow it's now ten twenty am here in the russian capital it tsotsi health care bosses worried about the pressure being put on hospitals by that of austerity they've warned patients will have to wait longer for treatment if indeed they can get any at all by the government is trying to push through well about twenty billion pounds and so-called efficiency savings. to form a hospital executive and a whistleblower he says driven decisions are ultimately putting lives at risk. it's 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 it 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 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 wrong at the hospital where you go 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 back 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 same at the very beginning it's about politicians'. targets to be delivered and it's about civil servants doing whatever it takes to do that now you say you were silenced why. because i raised 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 saved. cuts i mean we know that there needs to be twenty billion pounds saved in the n.h.s. now that's twenty percent of the budget so that means you know one in five hospitals potentially need to close so i think what's happening is this is a slight revolution where that's where the staff are getting up in large numbers

and saying we can't treat as individuals anymore and satyrs you now have got too many people raising concerns you need to do something kerry welcome any thanks for your comment a new report out from the british medical journal says that patients are more likely to die if they have operations and at the end of the week. are to see london and the masters of global finance will then having a hard time trying to prop up the idea that austerity is the answer to the world's economic doldrums. look at our rather new for school trend. forget keynesianism or 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 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 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 as. you can catch on my conscience whole program later on here when oxy that's about and i was talking. of course. have a peek now at some of the other stories waiting for you on our website for this
