violence in turkish streets shows no sign of abating rivalries again used tear gas and water cannons against anti-government protesters who are rallying for a ninth night while prime minister though one refuses to address the demonstrators demands. you know the stories that shape this week private bradley manning accused of leaking u.s. military documents faces a possible life sentence as he goes before an army court you look at how washington destroys it hamstrung veil its secrets. the trial comes as a fresh bombshell drops revealing the massive scale of u.s. surveillance with documents proving the government has been secretly collecting people's phone records and spying on their online activity for years.

saying before you tweet police in britain are being accused of crossing the line with an increasing number of arrests for comments on social media. this is actually coming to you live from moscow i'm marina josh welcome to the program. and we start in turkey where police have again use force to quell protests that have been raging for over a week across the country tear gas and water cannon word deployed as thousands marched in turkey as two major cities the following the prime minister's call for an immediate stop to the unrest all that is down bor remains the most restive city the protest started there as an environmental campaigner anas fire old into the biggest anti-government drive in decades violence erupted in several areas of the

same overnight with crowd numbers surging to their highest so far in the capital ankara there were clashes near the u.s. embassy and the tear gas returns to the central square where thousands of demonstrators gathered to demand it and here to juan's rule are just reading the will go has been following the week of turmoil and reports from the stamp. i feel that i was hit so i put my hand to get away there was blood gushing down my hands everywhere i saw my friends in boston to get me out of that 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 the peaceful protests spiraled into noël 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 trains. go on to have they changed 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 ignored by the turkish media. from c.n.n. international the old protectors you get the polies the people and then you take c.n.n. turk there was a pain in the commentary so it's. actually it's 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 seeming disregard to the opinion of hundreds of thousands of people in istanbul and

in r.t. . now human rights groups and foreign governments rushed to condemn how turkish police dealt with the protesters however reports suggest some of those countries were actually supplying turkey with a tear gas that the security force used well have a look at. this picture here in the past twelve years turkey's imports of tear gas and pepper spray has grown fifty times to more than six hundred tons. has spent more than twenty one million dollars doing that have a country that's cashed in the most is the united states not a stranger to selling tear gas and other crowd control munitions to places rocked by protests such as idjit bahrain and tunisia. while despite a violent protest turkey's ruling party has rejected all coals for snap election prime minister who won a state in a combative stance dismissing the demonstrations as the opposition's attempt to

topple the government accusing the protesters of looting and vandalism foreign policy expert barbara slaven a senior fellow at the atlantic council says the wants position is damaging turkey's image as a model of islamic 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 a big risk by deepening divide among turks 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 at the beginning begin to tire of his manner of

governing he's somebody who lectures who 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 and the latest with god there is that six turkish policemen have reportedly committed suicide since the unrest broke out details on that story plus more live updates at our t.v. dot com. now the stakes are high on the court martial of bradley manning accused of leaking sensitive military data to the whistle blowing web side we can beeks the soldiers charged with aiding the enemy out of found guilty faces live in jail argue summary

of or not explores now 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 in whistleblower that he did what he did because he thought he was making the world a better place he's no way to tame american has never expressed and she american sentiment soon anyway in fact he's always said that he is and was driven by a 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 assigned addressed washington's allegations that manning aided the enemy by going to wiki leaks if that president is allowed to be erected there are two things closely. it means it's a potential death penalty for any person you know attributes preaching to the worst about the sensitivity about them but secondly it also remember orioles the

journalist and the publication train of communication they would say to the enemy and therefore making him susceptible as well to be espionage act which also has capital offenses and that is why it was the. 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 leaked seven thousand government documents to the press in one thousand nine hundred ninety one revealing the truth about the vietnam war more than four decades later he says the us 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 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 a president who promised to usher in an era of transparency when he stepped into the white house according to new york maureen up or not our team. and the ranks of prosecutor whistleblowers in the u.s. may about a grow even larger the national security agency is pushing for a criminal probe into the leak that revealed the scale of its top secret surveillance program earlier this week the british and us papers published a report order that authorized the collection of all phone records from one of america's major. phone companies further 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 in a giants the massive scale of the spine cause al rage at home and abroad with

president obama the fan of the methods citing national security needs ivan eland is a fellow at the pan institute and says such policies are against 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 proof 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 phone 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 some 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. and coming up later in the program they call a death in the skies. they're believed to fragments of actual hellfire missiles with triple a warzone most americans never get to see we witness evidence of u.s. drone strikes in pakistan and speak exclusively to the victims of the attacks. and president putin is set to become officially single after he announces he's thirty years of marriage are over.

the brutal murder of a soldier in plain millions of conversations in the social media but for some the online chats resulted in my legal hurdles abusive comments have led to arrests across britain a matter worry the law is becoming overzealous and hunting down internet users are the center for 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 a twitter account in the wake of the recent willet 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 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. 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 you crossed the line looking back on their. time think of. the 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 artesia 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 and to really display the great skills great problem solving skill. 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 up many in the legal profession a warning that social media users now need to tread very carefully sarah first r.t. london and i'll be back with morning shortly after the break stay with us. nobody chooses to be homeless nobody chooses to be an s.r.o.

. is it was for the show to. get in the six pm get out six beat six. they were. trained to score. not too bad to me the class b. but. there's no word against the word. it's tough to think about. it. and to know that many may not have only been the last do you choose to should never be me but there are also due to foreclosures that never should and.

all the racket watching our team on the latest u.s. drone strike a skill at least seven people in pakistan's tribal region of waziristan no information has been released about the victims all this adds to the grim statistics of america's drone war in pakistan almost nine hundred civilians have died in the attacks that supposedly only target terrorists of those almost two hundred are reportedly children the number of strikes has risen sharply during barack obama's term six times more than on there he is for this us or well our team is losing often of looks at who exactly is getting caught in the crossfire of the drone war. the locals call it death in the skies in pakistan's northwest tribal region an american drone as 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 a lot 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 who are stuck in a war that we didn't ask for it's a hopeless feeling to be death is above our heads all the time although the attack took place three years ago i mean a loss 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 whether they should know who they're killing or what did we do to deserve this. this isn't my ex any grown arctic it's

a question echoed by now darren who lost part of his hearing his short term memory and nearly his foot when. 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 us 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 norbu a local journalist who spent years documenting the civilian toll of drones especially on children disturbing 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 no drone strikes killing innocent people who are not part of the conflict you're 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 . of course this is made 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 that's the target of all this on. us. and. that is that. when translated by defense that's cold comfort for the victims you see caffein of pakistan the latest drone strike comes just days after pakistan's new inaugurated prime minister called for an immediate and to a manned flights and continued attacks completely undermine the authority of pakistani governments has retired three star general talat masood. his son has been

protesting and politically it has a very negative fallout in august and it fuses militancy what exactly is happening is that although it may have certain tactical advantage in the sense that you know if the pakistan does not have control then the drones at least 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 on the sour we talked to activist and philosopher professor noam chomsky who believes america is taking our five fire with fire policy and that is far and here's a preview. the drone strike is what we don't talk about it but it is just imagine if you're walking down the street and you don't know whether. there's going to be an explosion cross the street. from some place where. somebody will be killed and whoever else is around will be killed. maybe you'll be you'll be injured if you're there because that is just her weapon terrorizes.

regions huge areas facts of the most massive terror going. long. now president vladimir putin has revealed that his marriage is over and even 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 revelation to the public by surprise as a lot of reporting has usually been secretive about his father's life. but he knew so many people look at some of the stories from around the world a suicide car bombing has left at least seven people dead and wounded eighteen others in baghdad police say two civilians were among those killed when the vehicle detonated at an army checkpoint in the north of the iraqi capital the latest wave of sectarian violence as feared by mad it will turn into

a full scale civil war. these twenty eight people have been killed and dozens wounded in clashes with a local militia operating in the libyan city of benghazi witnesses say crowds converged on the groups have quarters demanding and beat is bad it after a heated exchange gunmen began firing at the protesters. well you're up to date now and then just a couple of minutes r.t. investigates the reasons for hunger in africa and who gains from it. the school board in batavia illinois has decided to punish one teacher for his bad behavior by putting him on a strict probation play or what did he do to be deserve being part of this probation planted he do select punch a student in the face or to go in some sort of horribly racist or sexist ranted for

the class so he just reminded the students that as americans they have the right to not incriminate themselves to put it more simply he told the students that they didn't have to answer a questionable survey about drug and alcohol use and their emotional state since the data from this questionnaire would be sent back to the private company that created it this raises even more privacy issues than just the school knowing about the student's personal lives i would like to commend this teacher john dryden for actually going above and beyond and telling the children something they need to dull you know if you're going to live in a society based on individual rights it would help to actually teach children what those rights are but that's just my opinion. speak to language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about seven zero eight pm interviews intriguing story so you. see the.

arabic. because it arabic. according to the law usaid is allowed to park your up to seventy five percent american products and transport them only on american ships. and that means that the shippers have a lot of interest in food aid policy and have been an incredibly effective law. lobby to fight for the status quo of sourcing in and shipping from the united states the u.s. government is the only government in the world that hasn't made substantial movements in the direction of enabling local procurement of food aid in developing countries in order to respond faster and more cheaply to food emergencies as they arise. so even today the food must first be

balt then loaded on a ship in american harbor and then travel for several months in order to reach africa. that would be approximately four to six months from when it has been termed that we want to participate in in a particular appeal and so when the food arrives. the g.a.o. where mr leto works issued a report which presented the problem to congress. president bush tried to change the system so that a portion of the food would be procured from local markets and arrive faster and cost less. they failed and they failed because of the lobbying efforts the highly successful and very sophisticated lobbying efforts of those who benefit from the status quo in u.s. food aid programs from the american taxpayers' money only forty percent goes for the purchase of food aid for the starving p. .
