if you just joined us this is our roundup of the top stories of the week with me kevin i when we start in turkey where protesters and police clashed in running battles for ninth night tear gas and water cannon were again deployed as tens of thousands of demonstrators defied a call by the prime minister for media then to the unrest in the capital ankara witnessed an especially harsh crackdown with squads of police hunting protesters down alleyways after breaking apart the main runway crowds of thousands also demonstrated in istanbul too with record numbers not being reported campaigners nationwide refused to back down from their demand for prime minister everyone to quit accusing him of being authoritarian and attempting to islam is the government . has been following the week of turmoil and reports now from. mr.

government i felt that i was hit so i put my hand on the got to get away and there was blood gushing down my hands everywhere i saw my friends in dostum 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 photojournalist duckman cheek 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 to have they change their plans about the park and give us our freedoms. ergo i think that they are. but 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 our dozens and gives the park our leaders an alcoholic's 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 yeah butching. from c.n.n. international the old protect you get the poll is the people and then you take c.n.n. turk there is there was a 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 today opinion of hundreds of thousands of people in istanbul and in r.t. . thousands of government supporters have gathered at an airport outside the capital ankara meantime to welcome promise to read it one waving banners and chanting slogans the people there say they want to counterbalance the anti-government protests at a rally before supporters there were announced that six hundred police had been

injured during clashes with protesters at the same time he also warned that is patience with demonstrators was not quote without its limits international relations professor mark ullman from turkey's build the university says that bluster could end up being edwards downfall this is the problem for one as well as his hope or trump card he's playing on the cult of personality and anybody who lives in turkey with all these demonstrations will see how inflight magazines as well as political programs and so on and posters emphasize the need for a small role a promise to he's the man behind all the success the success has begun to hold because it dangerous for him to sleep because the opponents will say he must resign the prime minister is the probable means that people in his party who are perhaps chafing under his very heavy handed and dominant personality may perhaps begin to feel they could pull the rug from underneath him he would for all that the party itself would not the e.u.'s been among those demanding a thorough probe into the use of excessive force to crush the demonstrations the

prime minister rebuke that saying that protesters will be treated much more harshly in a european state where videos images of emerged on the internet throughout the week showing riot police firing tear gas using pepper spray and beating campaigners it's also been reported that turkey bought six hundred twenty eight tons of tear gas in just over a decade mostly imported from america increasing there for its stocks fifty fold that cost turkish taxpayers around twenty one million dollars so is diplomatic columnist an m.p. suffer paver told us why so many have joined in the protests. this demonstration has turned into all about individual freedom about how we live i think this is this is a moment. by those people who have felt for so many years now since the government came into power. who have felt insulted in every way right now the government's so-called majority will propaganda and slogan has turned into not only an insult on

people which has been going on for so many years but we turned into violence on others which doesn't think like the majority will on our website we've more how the anger against the government's been progressing across turkey at all to dot com we also find images and photos from our crew in istanbul which is closely following the rest that we want you to browse their footage in the invision section. betraying his nation that's one of the i.q. zation that bradley manning was hit with during his trial this last week manning who leaked secret documents revealing the u.s. army could be responsible for hundreds if not thousands of civilian deaths to the iraqi and afghan companies traces nearly two dozen charges and possibly life in

prison if you watching right now in fact shows an american helicopter crew hitting a group of civilians in baghdad including reuters news stuff on his way to port next she's got more america's apparent fullness of secrecy over transparency. a 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 in prison 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 that 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 entire american has never expressed and he american sentiment sitting way in fact he's always said that he is a. was driven by a certain sense of patriotism 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 it will do to these things firstly . it means it's a potential death penalty for any person you know attributes preaching to

a journalist about a sensitive matter but secondly it also remember orioles the journalist and the publication train of communication that 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 it was the. u.s. but let a positive part of the u.s. 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. truth about government crimes or law that the public needs to know and. if military prosecutors successfully prove that whistle blowing is aiding the enemy 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 marine upward not r.t.d. . but griffin served with britain's air so yes he also believes that they did terrorists was never among manning's goals. manning had access to a huge amount of information as did and do thousands of other employees of the united states government he saw that information within the information actions and activity that were illegal and immoral and he thought he should do something about that he was the only one to take action on that he thought that if other people

could see what was really going on in iraq in afghanistan something would happen but we're involved in iraq the actions were involved in where in effect illegal and i decided as a matter of conscience i can continue to do that this is a guy who's joined the military to do the right thing and then realize that actually the actions that military are immoral irrational and illegal when he's decided to do something about it. you are a spy chiefs and they would rather whistle blow to the want to leak the existence of the megas surveillance network that's unparalleled in scope as we've been talking about at length this week details of the seven year old prison system of slowly emerged and evoked outrage at home and abroad phone call records internet 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 suspected that hundreds of millions of others worldwide are also having their information intercepted by washington president obama's argument saying privacy should be sacrificed in return for security william binney worked for the national security

agency for thirty years and told us though the power the organizations been given only encourages abuse. it's a direct violation of the constitution and always has been that's why i left n.s.a. in two thousand and one they started to do this and of course the congress and the administration at the time was being baboo 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 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 now and you can use that power against them. across the atlantic details of the surveillance net cause shock with the official 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 with regards to previously some government figures have even called for a boycott of some corporations now and britain has also been implicated sources saying its intelligence services had direct access to prism a fact that human rights lawyer. sees as dangerous and a warning to people around the world. i would say no wakeup call for all europeans and everybody living in other countries as long as we are using u.s. based companies we are not from surveillance on the contrary we have to assume that we are under surveillance and not because we are suspects not because we are going to think just because u.s. is running a war on terror but if you talk about surveillance of oh well internet communication like e-mails like files we share information we exchange it's our life it's a lot of information about millions of people and the possibility of creating properties on that base that was that believed you're guessing our next move of

controlling our behavior is huge it's really this they did or will described in his books and we have to be aware of this weeks more than ever. after the latest u.s. drone strike killed seven in pakistan and washington still silent about who exactly was targeted there were in a few minutes tonight we look at the collateral damage of meet some of the civilians caught up in what's supposed to be a war on terror. i would rather ask questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more.

breaches of sovereignty are unacceptable well a to strike could add to a worrying tally of america's drone war in pakistan almost nine hundred civilians died in the attacks which supposedly only target terrorists of those almost two hundred reportedly children the number of strikes has risen sharply in the jury in barack obama's presidency six times more than under his predecessor but his looks of 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 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 you're his village on 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 or it's a hopeless feeling or to be just as above our head 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 i should know who they're killing of 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 darren who lost part of his hearing his short term memory and nearly his foot when. the drones 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 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 islamic 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 little fragments collected by an orbiting a local journalist who spent years documenting the civilian toll of drone 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 doorbell and shot is enough to terrify them. and that fear can turn to anger a new generation radicalized by the war carrying no drone strikes killing innocent

people who are not part of the conflict you just why did the conflict you're giving the reason to people who were not part of the conflict to become part of them. of 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. politics. when translated by defense that's cold comfort for the victims. are pakistan. retired pakistani general teller masood 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 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 they're gone that 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 it also ruins the relationship between the u.s. sent pakistan more details about seeds or cold now while you're there take a look please to it the images of the submerged central europe we've got lined up there is the danube does the worst the revers river swelling the record highs in hungary's fearing for its most intense we've got the pictures that we distrust of the people involved want to check them out if you get a minute. or so to the swansong for russia's top ballet dancers who's been fired

from the rambo show a fierce online daters the backstage backstabbing of the venue that's already rocked by that acid attack scandal. now think twice before you tweet that's the advice from police and media experts in the wake of a number of recent arrests in the u.k. for posting offensive messages on twitter along the correspondence or further 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

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 and technology you know the technology needs to change lewdly 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 skills and. level service he guidelines is set to be made final by the criminal prosecution service in the coming weeks but with the explosion of seychelle media eating 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 deep the anything legal expected and i guess it would be interesting to see your advice to people that actually even though it's

new york magistrate judge gary brown has ruled that it's ok to track people's location via their cell phone the judge supports his decision by saying that there 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 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 i 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
