for asians to rule today. fires cries and tear gas spell another night of violence in the turkish capital with protesters blaming heavy handed police and then aloof prime minister. as private bradley manning strong opens prosecutors portray him as the more us and try to risk his the fans insists exposing alleged u.s. words rossi's meant he simply wanted to make the world a better place. journalist brace for washington's latest manhunt this for the informant who exposed be unparalleled surveillance network that's fine on the lives of hundreds of millions in america alone. and keep your tweets sweet british but we urge twitter users to tell it down after a series of arrests for abusive online messages.

this is r t coming to you live from the russian capital and we start in turkey where protesters and police question running battles for nine snide tear gas and water cannon were gann deployed as tens of thousands of demonstrators defied a call by the prime minister for an immediate and to the rest of the capital ankara witness an especially harsh crackdown with squads of riot police hunting protesters down ailing ways after breaking up are the main rally crowds of thousands also demonstrating is stamboul with record numbers now being reported campaigners nationwide refused to back down from their demand for prime minister and want to quit accusing him of being authoritarian and attempting to as the eyes of the

government are just ridiculous go has been following the week of turmoil and reports from. stamboul. government i felt that i was hit so i put my hand on the took it away and there was blood gushing down my hands everywhere i saw my friends and asked them to get me out of the 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 and photo journalist ahmed sheikh was there when a peaceful protest spiraled into an all 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. i will go on trial they change their

plans about the park and give us our freedoms. ergo i think that their. 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 leaders of 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 groom 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 protect your guest the polish the people and then you take

c.n.n. turk there is 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 seeming disregard to the opinion of hundreds of thousands of people in istanbul and in r.t. . now they is been among those demanding a server approach and to the use of excessive force to crush the ends are the one demonstrations the prime minister rebuked that saying the protesters would be

treated much more harshly in a european state or videos and images have emerged on the internet for the week showing riot police firing tear gas using pepper spray and beating campaigners it's been reported that turkey bought six hundred twenty eight tons of crowd control munitions in just over a decade mostly imported from america increasing its stocks fifty fold and it's costing taxpayers around twenty one million dollars are just spoke to one man who felt the full force of the happy policing. as a protest sir i am one of the most that has been exposed to cheer gas and water cannon it were to say we shouldn't. cause crying and sneezing and us yes i had asked him a during the events i had multiple severe asthma attacks and i can say that the main provoker police and government they want to create fear and anxiety ordination

they cannot scare us we are the people we are to the nation we are turkish we are turkey they cannot change that they know this 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 provokers such as government the police officer holds us and shows us that we heard every word without any reason that's we cannot accept that. now the government is refusing to back down from its city park redevelopment which initially caused the public outrage turkish affairs expert for rod the mayor believes that area one is an inability to listen to his own people is the main reason the protest is still ongoing. and stumbled the first day of the protests had only twenty people in taxi and it's a day for a split personality and the next they do people became three hundred people in the next state was treated and now there are tens of thousands of people protesting so

the best course of action probably would be for the government to step back and look what did demands of the protesters are and act accordingly but i'm afraid there are no signs that they are drawing government will take in the sites that the brother issue that protesters are bringing up and this is again it was brewing for the last three years is the increasing way to italian is a man on top down management of his government that he seemed to have the makes this nation state effect alive so i mean you saw people in this country and he thinks that new jersey really means that the majority becomes a dictator of the country well on our website we have more on how the anger against the government has been progressing across at r.t. dot com you also find images and photos from our crew in istanbul which is closely following the unrest so you can browse the air food rich in the invision section there.

how betraying his nation that's one of the accusations bradley manning was hit with during his trial this week manning who leaked secret documents revealing the u.s. army could be responsible for hundreds if not thousands of civilian deaths during the iraq and afghan campaigns faces nearly two dozen charges and possibly life in prison the video you're watching right now supposedly shows an american helicopter crew hitting a ground of civilians in baghdad including reuters news doubt are just more in a fortnight as more of america's apparent fondness for secrecy over transparency. 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 do anybody paying attention to bradley manning. thought of himself at the time of the whistleblower that he did what he did because he thought he was making the world a better place he's in no way in time american 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 assange addressed washington's allegations that manning aided the enemy by going to wiki leaks if that president is allowed to be erected in boulder in two things firstly. it means it's a potential death penalty for any person you know attributes preaching to. the sensitive either but secondly it also 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 that 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 seventy one revealing the truth about the vietnam war more than a war 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 the government doesn't want. truth about government crimes or that the public needs to know. if military prosecutors successfully prove that whistleblowing 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 reporting from new york marine upward not r.t.d. charlie mcgrath from other current affairs website wide awake news the focus should be on the information manning leaked and not his personality. media in general is looking at i think this all wrong you know let's look at the information that bradley manning put out there i don't care if he was manipulated by a saw or if this was doing feelings or or he was just frustrated because he saw these things occurring you know if you keep put this information out the information is indisputable the information speaks for itself you know the reasons that he claims for it is because it was a conscience decision and more power to him i think history will build him as he hero if you report on the government you're going to prison or you're going to die this is the message that that i pick up that i infer from the accept this from this administration as well as previous if you dare to stand up and say what we're doing

is wrong you're going to pay a lot of cases the ultimate penalty u.s. spy chiefs are now hunting for another whistleblower the one who leaked the existence of the mag a surveillance network that's unparalleled in scope details of a seven year old prison system half slowly emerged and how to vote outrage at home and abroad phone call records every now browsing history and even the credit card transactions of almost all of the u.s. population is reportedly being tracked and logged in real time it's a specter that hundreds of millions of others worldwide are also having their information intercepted by washington president obama's adamant saying privacy should be sacrificed in return for security william binney worked for the national security agency for thirty years and told us the power the organization has been given only encourages abuse. it's a direct violation of the constitution and always has been that's why i left in

a say in two thousand and one they started to do this and of course the congress and the administration at the time was being bad bamboozled by the intelligence community saying that you have to collect all this data is so we can find the bad guys and if we don't do that we won't be able to achieve that and their budgets have been almost tripled i think since nine eleven so what they're really doing is saying we have to we have to use what we have which was that which is the problem with power when you give power to an organization or to people they tend to use it and assembling this kind of information about all in all the citizens in the united states or anybody else for that matter gives you power against them you have leverage no and you can use that power against them and across the atlantic details of the surveillance now cause shock with e.u. officials demanding clarity over what they call the monstrous allegations of total monitoring brussels has long been suspicious of american internet giants which were believed to be too flippant whether regards to privacy some government figures have even called for a boycott of some corporations and britain has also been implicated with sources

saying its intelligence services had their raw axis of prism a fact that human rights lawyer should have each season is dangerous and a warning to people around the world. i will say a wakeup call for all europeans and the everybody living in other countries as long as we are using us based company we are not free from latent on the confirming we have to assume that we are under surveillance and not because we are suspect not because we are given to think just because us is running a war on terror we talk about surveillance of all internet communication like e-mails like science we sure like information leaks change our lives a lot of information about millions of people and the possibility of creating profiles on the day the possibility of getting our next move of controlling our behavior is huge it's really to say that all will described in his book and we have

to be aware of this risk more than ever. after the latest u.s. drone strike kills seven and pakistan washington still silent about exactly target and a few minutes we'll look at the collateral damage to meet some of the civilians caught up in what's supposed to be our war on terror. nobody chooses to be homeless nobody chooses to be and now sorrow. isidro's for the show to. get in the six pm get out six b six. they were. doing school. to me the class people and. there's no word against yours.

it's tough to think about own homes. and to know that many of them may not have only been the last two won't should never be but they're also due to foreclosures that never should have. told you the. science technology innovation and all the lives developments around russia we've got the future covered. pakistan's newly sworn in prime minister has redouble his calling u.s. drone strikes to stop following friday's attack that killed seven people in the tribal region of was nearest on the washer you've summoned the american ambassador over the attack saying such breaches of sovereignty are on acceptable well the

latest straw i could add to a worrying tally of america's drone war in pakistan almost nine hundred civilians have died in the attacks which supposedly only target terrorists while of those almost two hundred or reportedly children the number of strikes is reason sharply during barack obama's presidency six times more than under his predecessor articulacy coffin of looks at who exactly is getting caught in the line of fire. 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 in pakistani soil against alleged al qaeda and taliban suspects. but ordinary civilians also pay a price this man is one of them i mean it 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 as the pain is still severe the sight of his injuries upsets his core children meanwhile depression anxiety and lingering fear have pushed him to take up tranquilizer pills and modify it in the vain merican should be able to tell an ordinary person from a television leader what they should know who they're killing what did we do to deserve this. this is my ex and he did it in their own arctic it's a question echoed by now dar 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 build 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 now evidence of the drone strikes is almost impossible to get but these were smuggled to islamize bought from the tribal areas they're believed to be fragments of actual hellfire

missiles retrieved from a war zone most americans never get to see the fragments collected by norbert from 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 out drone strikes killing innocent people who are not part of the conflict you just why didn't in 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're 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 effect and that's the target of all this on. us. when translated by defense that's cold comfort for the victims you see catherine of pakistan retired pakistani general thomas sood says drone strikes result in a serious political blowback for the us pakistan has been protesting and politically it has a very negative fallout in pakistan and it fuels the 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 do at some to some extent may contain the militants but on the politico side it lowers the image

of their state in the eyes of its people it makes them feel helpless it also ruins the relationship between the u.s. sent back a son. ourselves today's world news for you now protesters have stormed a militia which controls security in the libyan city of benghazi at least thirty one people have been killed and it's not clear which side sustained of most casualties after demonstrators took on the former rebel fighters which still wield significant power in the area the libyan government remains weak since mom or gadhafi was deposed leaving it relied on in the path of militias to enforce security to. cleanup has begun after hundreds of riders rampage through a city on the indonesian island of sumatra angry their candidate a loss narrowly in a mayoral election violence began when protesters reportedly blew up a business in the center of palembang before looting nearby shops two people have

been arrested and troops have been deployed to the area. i think twice before you tweet as advice from police and media experts in the wake of a number of recent arrests in the u.k. for posting a fans of messages on twitter our london correspondent sarah firth reports on how british police are playing catch up when it comes to laying down the law and how to counter abusive online comments. we trust our officers with a baton we trust some of the c.i. sprit and yet for some reason we can't trust some of the 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 were 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

felt the full force lol 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 i think i 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 artesian 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 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 the great level of service he guidelines set to be made final by the criminal prosecution service in the coming weeks but with the explosion of say she'll media leaving british little fighting to catch up many in the legal profession a warning that social media eases now need to tread very carefully i mean it is very deeply concerning i think the family legal perspective and i guess it would be interesting to see your advice to people that actually even though it's ok to say somebody say things to when it comes to say sure media but it just such

a bad thing they say well i'm afraid that twitter simply isn't my thing for me the restrikes book and your activities. but that's never been before so. the advice to be extremely careful for. surf. london. next the story of a family of children with a tribe and their devotion to providing a loving home. 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 be part of this probation

plantain he do select punch a student in the face or to go in some sort of horribly racist or sexist ranted for the class no 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. wealthy british style sun it's sometimes.
