on. violence in turkish three's a shows no sign of abating riot police again used tear gas and water cannon against anti-government protesters who are rallying for night while prime minister at one refuses to address the demonstrators demands. and other stories that shape or this week of private bradley manning accused of leaking u.s. military documents of faces of possible life sentence as he goes before went on the court we look at how washington destroys attempts to unveil secret. the trial comes as a fresh a bombshell dropped some revealing the massive scale of u.s. surveillance of documents proving the government has been secretly collecting people's cell phone records and spying on their online activity for yes.

and think of before you tweet to police in britain are being accused of crossing the line with an increasing number of arrests. social media. it's ten am here in the russian capital you live with us on our t.v. for the week's top stories as well as today's. we saw that in turkey where security forces again use force against the protesters that have been raging for a week across the country to guests and water cannon were deployed as thousands marched in turkey's two major cities to find the prime minister's call for an immediate stop to the unrest is symbol remains the most rest except see the protests started there as an environmental campaign and has spiraled into the biggest antigovernment drive in decades violence erupted in several areas of the

city overnight with crowd numbers surging to the highest so far in the capital ankara where clashes u.s. embassy and tear gas return to the central square where thousands of demonstrators gathered to demand an end to everyone's rule you re not going to school has been following the week of turmoil and reports from istanbul. i felt that i was hit so i put my hand down to get away there was blood gushing down my hands everywhere i saw my friends in dostum to get me out so he put me in a taxi i don't remember what happened next because i passed out i woke up in hospital where i stayed for the next day. photo journalist ahmed sheikh was there when a peaceful protest spiraled into knoll out standoff between the police and protesters in taksim square more than forty seven hundred people are said to have been injured during clashes with police over the past week with amnesty international calling

for an investigation into how the turkish police handled the protest rallies spread to squares and parks all over the country by then the message was no longer just about the trees. i will go on to have a change their plans about the park and give us our freedoms. earlier i think that the. prime minister knew exactly who he wanted to blame for the ever growing protest movement there is a problem called twitter right now and you can find every kind of lived there the thing that is called social media is the biggest trouble for society right now according to everyone the thousands and give the park are looters and alcoholics being spurred on by foreign spies who infiltrated crowds of demonstrators to spread dissent among the turks reportedly fifteen foreigners were arrested for their alleged role in the protests. i know what he's thinking when he says what he does he wants to show that he's still got power to those who support him but he doesn't

know what to do with the protest as large as they were for the first couple of days the demonstrations went to ignored by the turkish media yeah. from c.n.n. international the old protectors you get the polies the people and when you shake c.n.n. turk there was a pain in the commentary so it's. actually the pressure of the prime minister that is reflected on the media and we think it's unfair other channels international channels sharing this information and we have to find out about it on the international channels it's unfair to the people at this point the protests are so huge they're impossible to ignore pretty much just like the barricades that people continue to build a lot over the city to keep the police out and gets everyone insists that the destruction of the park will continue to go on as planned and that leaves one to wonder what exactly is in the future for the turkish prime minister with his team

in this regard to the opinion of hundreds of thousands of people in istanbul and in r.t. . despite the violent protests turkey's ruling party has rejected all calls for snap election prime minister to one has taken a competent stance a dismissing the demonstrations as the opposition's attempt to topple the government accusing the protesters of looting and then done as a foreign policy expert bob a slave in the senior fellow at the atlantic a consul says at one's position is damaging turkey's image as a model of islamic a democracy so far i don't think he's doing a very good job and this is a huge blow to him personally to his image and also to the turkish model which he has been touting around the middle east as something that arab countries should emulate he wants to change the constitution to create a sort of imperial presidency and then run for two terms as president this kind of behavior is alienating people who are religious as well as those who are secular so

i think he's taking a big big risk by deepening divide. and he really should i think quit while he's ahead because obviously the longer he's there the more people even people who are predisposed to like him in the beginning begin to tire of his manner of governing he's somebody who lectures to sermonize is he doesn't listen very well in my experience and i think this is really not a good model for a country that purports to be a modern islamic democracy. we're keeping an eye on events unfolding in turkey gathering eyewitness accounts an expert opinion for you on our website go to r.t. dot com for live updates a timeline of the protests and the most dramatic footage.

the stakes are high at the court martial of bradley manning accused of leaking sensitive military data to the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks the soldiers charged with aiding the enemy and if found guilty faces life in jail artie's a marine up what now explores all the u.s. government's attempts to silence those who feel they have to speak out. 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 imprisoned 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 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 to bradley manning. thought of himself at the times the whistleblower that he did what he did because he thought he was making the world a better place he's in no way a time american who has never expressed anti american sentiment seen any way in fact he's always said that he is and was driven by this sort of sense of patriotism and 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 directed to the things closely. it

means it's a potential death penalty for any person you know treats pretty. sensitive but secondly it also the orioles' of the journalist and the publication train of communication they would say to the enemy and therefore making it very susceptible as well to be espionage act which also has capital offenses and that is that is the. us but latter part is part of the us attack. including myself 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. government crimes or that the public needs to know. if military prosecutors successfully prove that whistle blowing is aiding the enemy even 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 marina port nine r.t. . and the ranks of prosecuted whistleblower was in the u.s. may about to to grow even larger the national security agency is pushing for a criminal probe into the deep it revealed the scale of its top secret surveillance program earlier this week a british and us papers published in the court order that authorized the collection

of all phone records from one of america's. the phone companies for the disclosures uncovered the existence of a program code named prism that granted u.s. agents access to e-mails videos documents and other material from at least nine internet giants the massive scale of the spying caused outrage at home and abroad but president obama defended the method national security needs ivan a land is a fellow at the independent institute and says such policies are the founding principles of the united states i think this is a real violation of the u.s. constitution even the democrats are saying well this is legal it's been checked out by congress. but that's doesn't wash when it violates the direct persian provisions of the u.s. constitution which state that any want can't be a general warrant in other words they can't go mining for things which is what

they're doing and also there has to be probable cause that there's been a crime committed well every citizen in america can't be. suspected of being a criminal now they're say they're not listening into the conversations via the conversations but the constitution doesn't say anything about that it just says if it's a search and this is a search and it's clearly unconstitutional even though the patriot act which is unconstitutional portions of it. ok's it so i think it's a very bad thing and also there's other program that goes that actually does capture the content of e-mails of photos that sort of thing on people overseas also captures americans as well. coming up later in the program they call it death in the skies there believed to be fragments of actual hellfire missiles were triple a war zone most americans never get to see we witness evidence of us straight

strikes in pakistan and speaking exclusively to the victims of the attacks. and to the u.s. lectures or china on suspected cyber attacks but opinions are divided over who's really playing an offensive game with washington accused of like crescent moves and big not just in the virtual world. the brutal murder of a soldier in the inflamed millions of conversations in the social media but some of the online chats resulted in legal hurdles abusive comments have led to arrests across britain and many worry the law is becoming overzealous in hunting down internet users arches server earth investigates. we trust our officers with a baton we trust some of the c.i. sprit and yet for some reason we can't trust them with 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 social media in a way they never have before twitter might be new police territory but their actions tread a fine line already some unfamiliar with the legal ramifications of their tweets the felt the full force lol 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 you cross 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 our t.v. 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 within the police service and with another public sectors but it really is more about leadership than technology you know the technology needs to change absolutely but fundamentally one needs to change is the attitude that leaders have towards social media many see as a huge risk what they feel to recognise is the fantastic opportunities are to really display the great skills great problem solving skill. on a great level seven 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 little fighting to catch up many in the legal profession

a warning that social media eases no need to tread very carefully surface. london still ahead for you this hour president clinton is set to become officially saying we'll bring you more on this divorce plans after the break. arguably are america's influence is much larger than that of iran so with power comes responsibility greater responsibility would you agree with that in every negotiation on a round table the parties are equal they may be different in the degree of power but on this issue each side is negotiating with the other i'm trying to reach an agreement.

thanks for staying with us here on our team the latest u.s. drone strike has killed at least seven people in pakistan's tribal region of was serious john no information has been released about the victims almost nine hundred dishonest civilians summated to have died in such attacks a fall while washington maintains such warfare is just it's just and only targets

terrorists are looks at who exactly is getting caught in the crossfire of the drug . the locals call it death in the skies in pakistan's northwest tribal region an american drone seen from the ground it's become the weapon of choice in the u.s. war on terror and this is the damage it can wreak under president obama more than three hundred such strikes on pakistani soil against alleged al qaeda and taliban suspects. but ordinary civilians also pay a price this man is one of them i mean was on his way to work at a mine near his village when a drone struck the area he lost his leg in the attack three other miners who were with them lost their lives we live in constant fear of another strike we are simple villagers we're stuck in a war that we didn't ask for or it's a hopeless feeling or should be death is above our heads all the time. although the

attack took place three years ago i mean new laws says the pain is still severe the sight of his injuries upsets his four children meanwhile depression anxiety and lingering fear have pushed him to take up tranquilizer pills and modify it in the same arrogance should be able to tell an ordinary person from a television leader what they should know who they're killing of what did we do to deserve this. this is my ex any grown arctic it's a question echoed by now darren who lost part of his hearing short term memory and nearly his foot on. the drone shockwave was so intense that it threw us outside far from the place where we were sleeping after several minutes there was another strike and it killed many more people attorneys out of bar has sued both the u.s. and pakistan on behalf of the civilian victims he says they're the voiceless people of the zeerust on isolated by geography and politics simply call it a concentration camp that you have built a wall of. military and militants and behind that wall you keeping more than

eight hundred thousand people who are not allowed to come out and no one from the rest of the country is allowed to go in and that's a kind of tree which u.s. is using to use and test its drone program in many ways the epicenter of the cia's highly classified drone program is a black hole on the map a region of pakistan off limits to outsiders especially westerners no evidence of the drone strikes is almost impossible to get but these were smuggled to islamize bought from the tribal areas there are believed to be fragments of actual hellfire missiles retrieved from a war zone most americans never get to see the fragments collected by a local journalist who spent years documenting the civilian toll of drone especially on children just images of the living and the dead for nor it's personal . to me whenever my three year old daughter hears

a plane she runs inside and won't sleep that night the children here have been traumatized by the drones the sound of a door banging shot is enough to terrify them. and that fear can turn to anger a new generation radicalized by the war by carrying out a drone strikes killing innocent people who are not part of the conflict you just why did the conflict. you're giving a reason to people who were not part of the conflict to become part of the complete oz among ourselves course this is make me hate the americans we are angry and want revenge they've destroyed our lives my parents my wife my children we all see america as our worst enemy now while promising to rein in their use the white house says drones are both legal and effective this target. on the. list.

when translated by defense that's cold comfort for the victims you see caffein of r.t. pakistan but as journey strike comes just days after pakistan's newly inaugurated prime minister called for an immediate end to the unmanned flights and continued attacks completely undermine the authority of pakistani government says retired three star general talat masood. but on has been protesting and politically it has a very negative fallout in pakistan and it fuses militancy what exactly is happening is that although it may have certain tactical advantage in the sense that you know if pakistan does not have control then the drones at least two at some to some extent may contain the militants but on the political side it lowers the image of their state in the eyes of its people it makes them feel helpless and then

it also ruins the relationship between the u.s. and pakistan when it comes to the use of drones the americans have given the responsibility of using the drones to the cia as far as pakistan is concerned where is the rest of the countries apart from you your men have been given to the pentagon and they have also said that they would use that very discreetly but in the state of pakistan and afghanistan i think they don't even want to own it want to talk of using it you know discreetly. at about eight thirty g.m.t. we talk to activists and philosophy professor named chomsky believes america is taking a fight fire with fire policy a bit too far as a preview. room strike is terror we don't talk about it but it is just imagine if you're walking down the street and you don't know whether in

five minute. there's going to be an explosion across the street. from some place where up in the sky that you can see. somebody will be killed and whoever else is around will be killed and. maybe you'll maybe you'll be injured if you're there that just as a terror weapon it terrorizes. villages region this is huge areas facts of the most massive terror campaign going on long. president of london mirror putin has revealed that his marriage is over ending months of speculation about his private life the confession came in a joint interview with his wife on russian state television where they called it an amicable split the two have been married for thirty years and have two daughters

the row over cyber espionage your political analyst a william f. and doll says washington lectures beijing while being the aggressor in the first place. the u.s. is probably the number one cyber warfare force on the planet right now and china is probably playing a defensive game but i don't i don't think the side i think that's a red herring issue right now it's by a washington by the obama administration to put pressure on china at a time when the u.s. is doing just that with the so-called asia pivot which is really a china pivot that obama announced in australia back in two thousand and eleven to redirect the american military force posture toward japan with a missile defense which is directly against china toward to supporting japan on the the diode you island dispute in the south china sea which is very critical for china's access to potential mineral best mineral resources. coming up. on

is no legitimate expectation of privacy in the perspective of a cellular telephone where the individual has failed to protect his privacy but taking the simple expedient of powering it off this statement seems to hint that cell phones are some sort of fun luxury and that people are just too lazy to turn off their phones when they want privacy this ignores the fact that there are many people who have to be on call twenty four seven like surgeons and server technicians these people can't just turn off their phones so does that mean that certain professions can't have privacy also this presumption that people have no expectation of privacy what about people who send images of text messages of a sexual nature to each other joy think that all these people just assume it's all public goods i don't think so the fourth amendment says that people have the right to be secure in their persons houses papers and effects and i'm pretty sure that's cover cell phones too but that's just my opinion.

hello and welcome to worlds apart crazy most lunatic leaders erratic policies everything to do with iran is presented in the west through the prism of irrationality you get anyone who has ever been to iran but if any kind sure were science and education a simplistic more national identity was really being irrational here in iran for its accusers well to discuss based on knowledge joined by survey chilled dolton be born where you can boss to do to run thank you very much for your time sir now you served in iran during the years when iran was probably the most call for to the international community on the west in particular on the nuclear issue they even suspended your right.
