in the meantime the media is accused of. us to keep the guantanamo bay prison. under president obama's promise to lift the. result. of abusive so-called trolls by british police. over the freedom of speech.

worldwide. this is with me live from the russian capital where it's now i just after nine am here. and the government in turkey has apologized for the violent response by security forces towards protesters. water cannons and tear gas for. protesters made fresh attempts to reach the prime minister's office at least fifty being arrested. dozens of homes were raided and sixteen people detained simply using social media and the internet has been used to share information. against the government turkish prime minister has its role in the riots. in particular. the people. on the

television news. the revolution will not be televised that is according to graffiti spray painted all over istanbul and indeed the protests have gone largely unnoticed by the state media here in turkey however people did have the last word by destroying the satellite trucks of local state media channels if not to prove a point then at least to vent out their anger and frustration at the media that did not cover the events at home pepper spray water cannons tear gas only hell was breaking loose in taksim with police trying to evict environmentalists and their supporters from the park last weekend when turkish audiences flipped on their t.v.'s they saw something entirely different thing. from c.n.n. international the old protectors here against the pole is the people and when you check in on turkey there's there was a pain in the commentary so it's a compliment. participants of the protests though disapproving of the lack of

coverage by the turkish media nevertheless believe news outlets have good reason for tuning out when things take a turn for the unexpected actually it's the pressure of the prime minister that is reflected on the media and we think it's unfair other channels the international journalists sharing this information and we have to find out about it on the international tournaments it's unfair to the people but many believe there is a certain responsibility that comes with being a provider of news and those in turkey have failed at it i don't know what will happen in the future but we have only one channel which shows everything in this country it's really really our company says it cannot stand in for example my mother she lives in a little village if i don't call her she will know nothing with the growing magnitude of protests some of the privately owned channels caught on to the event and tried to make up for lost time i think there's one news channel which has a direct one said that they were sorry and they made

a mistake for not covering the events. they're covering it's quite well but of course the state media is not here they're saying that it's. misguided. by some extreme. groups a far fetched stance it may be but those on tacks seem just as thousands of people on streets and squares all over turkey don't really seem to care anymore they don't need a t.v. broadcast to show them what's really happening where they are. r.t. istanbul protesters and eyewitnesses have been giving their accounts of the brutality of turkish police this is one of the latest examples of an excessive use of force in the capital right here the video showing officers beating a bystander around the head with batons until he falls to the grounds of video agency or spoken to a turkish baker working in ankara he said even though he wasn't protesting he was

targeted and. i went out to buy cigarettes the police didn't ask me anything they just beat me. human rights groups and some foreign officials including the u.s. secretary of state they've all come out to condemn the excessive use of force by turkish police however it's the u.s. which is one of their main export is of tear gas and pepper spray to turkey in fact of the country allegedly sent over sixty tons in the past decade that's worth more than twenty million bucks america also sells tear gas to countries like egypt and bahrain. portnoy reports on who's cashing in on all the rivers of tears. for six days the world has seen video and images of turkish police cracking down on thousands of anti-government protesters and anon activists of all ages have been targeted indiscriminately with tear gas and pepper spray critics say that behind closed doors the united states has long played

a major long role in aiding the police brutality that is currently unfolding in turkey he according to reports turkey has bought twenty one million dollars worth of tear gas and pepper spray in the past twelve years and the united states is listed as a main provider c. the us is one of the world's largest manufacturers and exporters of tear gas and whether sold or given tear gas shipments from the united states to anywhere in the world must be approved by the u.s. government the three big american tear gas manufacturers nonlethal technologies defense technology and combined systems inc have reportedly exported tear gas to dozens of nations rocked by widespread protests including egypt bahrain tunisia and yemen and now as the uprisings in turkey grow more dangerous by the day dozens of octopus have taken to the streets in new york city rallying across from the turkish

consulates to condemn what they call the government's brutal and deplorable use of tear gas against its own citizens they are not zeus for protesting are the ones are pro cycling are humans they are not no use for destroying our human to just us can forge their regions creating all the problems that they're using to cure that expires in two thousand for their pictures of it there's evidence that is a problem every day they're using gerson worse worse and worse chemical american activists also know what it feels like to be targeted with so-called crowd control technology tear gas. canisters were widely used against protesters participating in the occupy wall street movement and experts say that the corporations manufacturing those technologies are profiting at home and abroad by assisting governments around the world that aim to repress freedom of speech and democratic movements of reading

from new york marina fortnight r.t. . and the rest in the gulf was one of those gassed by police in the turkish capital ankara explained exactly how it feels to be targeted by the heavy hand of the authorities. i am one of the most that has been exposed as i did gas and water cannon it reduced my wesen and caused crying and sneezing and i see as i have asked a month during the event i had multiple severe assem x.x. and i can say that in maine provoker is police and government are tired of dealing government with corrupt media we don't have any freedom of speech on this matter this tax theme this matter has become a matter of more than just maybe bunch of trees this is a protest against ignore it can tell a day that hurts its own people they cannot scare us we are the people we are

nation we are turkish we are turkey they cannot change that they know that and disses i can say that i mean i love to explain that this is a peaceful event we do not do any harm to anyone or anything. but however the trouble cares such as government and police officer holds us and shows us that we heard every word without any reason that's we cannot accept that. and it's not just in turkey but online activity could get you in trouble in britain as well later on your report on how you can be arrested for twitter posts in the u.k. as british police turn their attention to abuse posted on social networks. are

just getting to ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital city of the lower house of the u.s. congress has voted against closing guantanamo bay blocking the use of taxpayer money to house any detainees transferred from the prison hunger strike at the facility now into its fourth month and some long suffering relatives of the inmates from yemen they're skeptical they'll ever see their loved ones again despite obama's promises to send them home. he met one such. yeah some might argue there's not all that much difference between the physical torture that many prisoners undergo in one town of mode and the emotional toll meant their relatives are forced to deal with at home like the family of abdurahman ash batty a yemeni terrorist suspects held at the controversial detention center since two thousand and two after his arrest the whole family was accused of links to terrorists only man now we have them america's support for human rights is merely

a show it only cares about its own people well it destroys the rights of all others who have been suffering for thirteen years now. and yemen president obama's recent promise to lift restrictions off get detainees specifically from the country was greeted with nothing but sneers. weird start of these nonstop lies a bum remembers about guantanamo only during election campaigns and on holidays he promised to shut it down several times and to forward their cases to their home countries these are all lies. meanwhile back in one town away itself as the thirty yemeni prisoners wait for the u.s. president's promises to come true the four month long hunger strike against their indefinite detention continues prisoners have been demanding phenomenon military doctors to be allowed to treat them nearly forty out of more than one hundred protesters are reportedly being force fed something they claim is torture in itself

they are close enough to death that the military sees a need to force feed them none of them enjoy being forced but i can tell you that and they have described being force fed in such terms of having a knife run down their throat. back in yemen the relatives all say they are going to believe another word from president obama until they see their sons brothers and husbands finally return home that's a love that i meant to be no more than this family's case is merely one of several dozen where people can only suffer and cry helplessly inside their homes but hope dies last. delicious these al hey jim a son yeah man. thanks for joining us here on this program about a truth on trial of the whistle blower trial is approaching its third day although many believe the high profile proceedings are merely part of a plan to get wiki leaks founder julian assange. and jumping

aboard the eurozone latvia is about to join the single currency despite the financial tug rocking throughout europe or not just ahead for you here on out.

speak to language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on the. reporting from the world talks about six of the ip interviews intriguing story for you. visit. good morning to you from moscow it's quarter past nine here in the russian capital british twitter users now have to watch what they post with social media being screwed. by police in a number of investigations offensive or abusive posts and comments of led to arrests all across the country activists are worried the lawyers becoming too zealous about hunting down so-called tweeting trolls and investigating this story

azziz cerified. we trust our offices with a baton we trust some of the c.i. sprit and yet for some reason we can't cross from a twitter account in the wake of the recent will it murder a number of arrests were made across the country after police responded to tweets it was the latest clear sign that police are in placing seychelle media in a way they never have before put in might be new police territory but their actions tread a fine line already some unfamiliar with the legal ramifications of their tweets felt the full force of the law was one notable example came after a tweet to footballer james mcclean joining in online anger at the footballers decision not to wear a remembrance day poppy katie aiden lucky tweeted he deserves to be shot dead alongside a picture of bullets two weeks later and he was arrested by manchester police do you feel like crossed the line looking back on their.

time think you ought. to consequences they katie's cases since being dropped it's easy to see the cyber threats can cause real fear and often is deserving of punishment but other cases have ranged from the confusing to the downright ludicrous and figures obtained by r t show a steadily rising number of prosecutions in person under the communications act two thousand and three including phone calls emails and social media posts i think the fundamental problem is that there is over policing in the police or have been recent times far too willing to take seriously or complaints and investigate them instead of using commonsense new guidelines set to be made final by the criminal prosecution service in the coming weeks but with the explosion of social media

leaving british law fighting to catch on. many in the legal profession a warning that social media eases no need to tread very. i mean it is very very concerning i think legal perspective and i guess it would be interesting to see your advice to people that actually even though it's a cake to say some of these thing it seems that when it comes to the station media that it is thank you they say well i'm afraid that simply isn't the right thing for . me there is facebook and your activities. like it's never been before so. the advice is be extremely tough for. sarah. london and i'll come to you live from moscow as bradley manning did not hand over classified u.s. documents to wiki leaks with the goal of aiding the enemy a day two of us trial the testimony there of the convicted hacker who actually

handed him in he spoke to just one right after another whistleblower she thinks the government's ultimate goal is to get wiki leaks founder julian assange. bradley manning very much is being politically used as a way to try to reach a songe and there have been rumors of secret indictments on julian of songe here in the united states so the extent that this government has way over charged way over prosecuted and is going after manning. as if he was a devil in carney speaks volumes to not only making an example out of manning but also the vitriol and contempt that they have against julian assange engine wiki leaks even though bradley manning has testified that he didn't know with whom he was dialoguing on the other and it could have been a song during anybody had no reason to think that it was

a songe and he was and he didn't understand it to be a saw and she thought it was someone from wiki leaks i think the government very much wants him to say that he was dialoging with julian assange in order to try to go after julian assigns. well you. support.

these are the. moments away from the world. of the countries. representing. some of the problems with the. president obama often says that only kills moon doesn't kill civilians but he feels to give me an identity use of those who have

been killed in the use of strikes in pakistan now according to independent sources more than three thousand people have been killed in. pakistan but not a single name has been given by a president obama or the cia which is occurring albeit strikes what we hear from news reports is just a few names of militant leaders who have been killed president most all sure that he is killing militants and he has not killed any civilian then he has to give the names and details of all those militants who he has killed because for the pakistani i would be happy you know assumes that if you have killed all those people who are creating all those are in my cities if you kill all these people who work here let you go probably for your lucian or floor but at least i will be happy that you are making me see if what the question here is that who are you killing. you can watch out that entire conversation by sticking with us here at r.t.

to be broadcast at eighteen forty five g.m.t. . i fell into the r.t. world up there we go as promised we'll go straight to syria where the government says they fully restored control of the key city of course a lot of that's right near the lebanese border the area is considered a crucial supply route for both sides of the conflict meanwhile france says it has no doubt that sarin gas has been deployed by the syrian government against rebels after carrying out certain tests at the u.s. and other nations said the use of the nerve agent was a red line that would demand a response however the u.n. says that chemical weapons have been used by both sides in the syrian conflict over washington says more research is needed to prove those claims. the deadly floods would have been lashing central europe and now shifted to germany as rain continues to cause rivers to break their banks the chancellor merkel used a helicopter to two of the region's devastated by the deluge and she felt one

hundred million euros in aid to the victims of the worst flooding in a decade since the weekend the waters have caused at least twelve deaths and forced thousands to flee their homes though in the czech republic of the water levels have started to fall all hungary is still on alert. turns out that a gas leak was the likely cause of a large blast at a new york college which left seven people injured blew out the glass from nearby buildings at the most severe injury was to a woman who actually jumped out of a window in attempt to escape at the campus was relatively empty as most students had graduated just last month. is about to get the green light to become the eighteenth member of the eurozone the baltic country is likely to join the single currency in january next year a decade after it joined the e.u. but with europe still struggling to dig itself out of debt many believe that fear

is jumping onto a sinking ship as artie's kitty pilgrim reports. latvia will be officially swapping their last figure owes to adopt the single currency i love your reduced its budget deficit to blow the e.u. ceiling of three percent of g.d.p. last year which is actually of achievement considering latvia underwent one of europe's toughest or surgery programs after the two thousand and eight crisis actually wiped off a fifth of its g.d.p. so now that the latin economy is back on track will enter the euro zone the rail it's recovery will this take a look at the current members that are actually at risk of exiting the euro zone now we got slovenia they actually adopted figure in two thousand and four now this is actually the latest country in financial trouble and now public debt has more than doubled from twenty two percent of g.d.p. in two thousand and eight to almost fifty five percent in twenty twelve just as for

cyprus really the recent banking crisis did little to enrich their economy just sixty six percent of public debt to g.d.p. as for greece right here one hundred eighty nine percent that's actually nearly double of that so. piece a quite phenomenal really if we actually take a look at a few countries that don't have the year i will be able to see that figure really isn't crucial to having a healthy economy as you can see just they're not bothered to read it so it's probably no wonder looking at the figure out of his urgency is actually being questioned right now. it is hard to hew to the monetary policy which is suitable for germany and that means that once the direction of the interest rates changes from the current very low to the historical averages and they will be your own they're most likely going to suffer a significant contraction term investment for example the issues of slovenia greece cyprus or to go and all the rest of the really for all europe certainly in terms of

the future instability in the euro of low valuations and in terms of the interest rates there. as for countries like lottery who have to have certainty in london in terms of the longer term investments especially infrastructural investments into the future they will present significant problems and significant costs is also another issue that libya will need to consider now since favorite cyprus hit the infamous banking crisis of course funds about she been flowing towards latvia she strengthening the small baltic states position as a tool by consensus but once a country adopts the euro the european minister as well as you have far more control over the country's banki roles and as a consequence dreams of becoming a tax haven might be all you've up along with a lot of people being right there all right up next you're about to just a moment if you can hang with us it's our special documentary investigating the vicious cycle of dependency on hunger in some african nation live from moscow this

is on. technology innovation all the developments around russia. the future covered. eat. more news today. and flared up
