is very good afternoon kevin zero in here today the r.t. new center on our top story the no more tolerance for the protests in turkey that pronouncement coming from the prime minister and one after hundreds of riot police stormed istanbul's taksim square raining tear gas and rubber bullets down on protesters who've been jailed nearly two weeks of heavy policing let's get the latest live show you fall asleep hi paula another day of action for better or for worse depending how you look at it in square. well it certainly is another day of action a small number of protesters are back in taksim square while at the same time several dozen white police are maintaining a presence at gezi park what we've witnessed throughout the day is police withdrawing protesters moving forward it's almost like this game of push and shove now the turkish prime minister erdogan has called on protesters to disperse he told a meeting of his party and to quote him we will never allow people to force things onto us and we will never force things he also said that he has no more tolerance

for these protesters inside turkey now one of those comes just hours after the police moved into taksim square in the early hours of tuesday morning they easily broke through barricades at an earlier been put up by protesters it was an exchange of police firing tear gas rubber bullets and also water cannons why a hardcore group of protesters fired fireworks firebombs and also threw stones after wife police the governor of istanbul has said that the police are prisms only to remove the banners that are on the out to buildings and placards not to physically remove people from the area and police have repeatedly throughout the day been saying on loudspeakers we will not hurt you or intervene urging protesters to stop throwing stones bottles and tear gas at the riot forces now all of this comes a day before and the gun plans to meet with a group of leaders of the opposition and circle as if the police presence is more

a show of force than an effort to actually physically push the protesters out of this area where they've been camping for almost two weeks of his middle east correspondent paula said france to upgrade their. recruit martyrs are a big no it was among those caught up in the violent crackdown earlier. if it was that's over they started the crackdown on protesters an attack seems where early in the morning they used tear gas and broke the tents tear gas canister hit the camera and broke it our cameramen fell to the ground i also suffered badly from the tear gas violent clashes are happening right now in the streets of istanbul it's like a war zone. our correspondent has just returned from istanbul off reporting on the anti-government rallies l.a. she told her i must say i'm a colleague but her experience that. taksim is the unique place absolutely because it was nothing like any of the protests that were ever seen before it was going to

be feeling like of can bradbury a lot of people were there but there were so many people and they were there night after night that i couldn't help but ask the question that at some point it obviously had to the how and and obviously the protesters weren't given any of their any of their demands or any of their aspirations at the same time you had the prime minister who first left for four days just when the protests started just when people were really agitated and angry then he came back and said we're not going to budge we're not going to make any concessions everything's going to be just like it was and then just a couple of days later there's a fine if you don't want the park to be demolished we'll think about it but we will not make a shopping mall that's as far as the government has gone and even now i mean yes there have been some semi apologies from the mayor or from the ministry of interior when it came to the excessive use of force and this is something that the government it was criticized for in turkey but they haven't. they haven't really promised any into that this started off as an environmental protest and it's now

gotten into what we in these pictures why do you think the people are so angry well because you have to understand that even though everyone never ceases to repeat that you know he won by what half a percent margin or something like that there is still about house of the population in the country core extremely unhappy with the direction that he's taking there saying that there is an increasing islamisation there saying that he has absolutely no no regard for the freedom of speech we have to remember that turkey does have an incredible number of journalists jailed and it does come under scrutiny under fire from a lot of international organizations and from other other countries for not quite living up to the european standards which is that it aspires to live up to but i don't want just doesn't seem like he really can make up his mind whether he wants to go with the ottoman ideal whether he actually wants to join the e.u. so it's interesting to see how this situation will develop further because i think there's going to be a lot of pressure there. all of the following it prime minister read it when a slammed the protesters as morgues in a speech to parliament earlier he also played the media and social networks for

steering wheel and rest journalist neil clark who's been following the events in turkey told me edouard doesn't feel threatened by the protests because of his international backing and a hand feels emboldened really trapped in a very hard where gets the protesters uneasy emboldened to proceed a member of nato and u.s. allies and i think he it's very interesting to see just how mutant the criticism of murder has been over the last week in the west john kerry bates mutterings about not using too much force but william hague for example has been silent the french have been silent and i think mission bolen's down to clamp down hard on protest when the police put in the water cannons the plastic bullets etc his deputy had said that he wants to meet with the protesters the protests is therefore hoping that maybe something could be sorted out reasonably amicably and then today we see this force absolutely i think go home field really that there's no real pressure on him to actually negotiate to meet with the protests why should he because he's got the backing of nato and the u.s. the u.s. will do everything to stop him from falling from power and i think that's what

that's a very important factor the other thing is of course elections are here in turkey for two more years the opposition is divided so he thinks he's in a very strong position. or the big stories of their the ex cia man who blew the lid off america's vast n.s.a. public surveillance net is promising more explosive revelations edward snowden supporters are mobilizing to or tens of thousands sudden a petition to pardon the whistleblower parties were reported i was at a rally in new york where scores have been marching in his defense. braving some very whites and chilly weather dozens of new yorkers have come out into the street to show their solidarity and support with n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden this of course coming just twenty four hours after the twenty nine year old revealed himself as the man who handed over classified

documents to the guardian which then exposed the national security agency's program prism i think the public is owed an explanation of the motivations behind the people who make these disclosures that are outside of the democratic model now prism allowed national security agencies extensive internet spying on records of digital communication and allowed the government agency to surveil us citizens in real time now the revelations that have come about through snowden's legal course challenges the ongoing war on terror for nearly twelve years the u.s. government has changes policies change legislation in the name of which they said was to keep americans safe the wars waged overseas and our privacy a roading here at home those american citizens that we've spoken with say that snowden sacrifice should not be in vain and there needs to be

a bigger dialogue about the way in which the u.s. government is acting behind the backs of its own citizens now of course this blockbuster of a story has caused many to wonder if the u.s. government will still move forward lecturing and pointing fingers at other countries such as iran and china for the way in which it deals with its citizens after now it has been revealed to the entire world that the u.s. is keeping very close tabs on everything that americans are doing at home and even abroad reporting from new york marina r.t. . well meantime reports say u.s. officials are already in the process of filing charges against the twenty nine year old less than a week of the whistleblower revealed america's citizen spying to britain's guardian newspaper at the moment no one knows where snowden is he was last seen checking out of this and telling home com that's indeed where he remained for

a while for revealing his identity to the global media it's thought he may still be in hong kong the chinese territory has an extradition treaty lined up with the united states but the process could stretch out for months and could potentially be blocked by beijing michael ratner's a lawyer for julian assange he says there are many more young americans eager to show the nation and the world how washington really operates this shows you how bad the situation is and how much courage. after the u.s. has hit the sledgehammers manning stunt i am and you still get people like like snow like edward snowden coming out again so it indicates that there's a tremendous amount of courage of young people to try and reveal of the criminality and surveillance and the state that we have here the legal part has to do with laws that this country passed post nine eleven in particular courts that are essentially and pick and decides are all those and a president who is willing to assume there and we approve this massive surveillance

i think that terrorism is used as an excuse to be able to surveil and keep tabs on every single american to prevent really a change in government what's happening is they've hired thousands tens of thousands of young people into this network of the surveillance network and a lot of the people have conjured it still takes courage once you have conscience but we're seeing going to happen not snowden manning songe hammond those are heroes . the american surveillance program reportedly has much larger goals than just spying on its own citizens to is a link correspondent peter all of us been finding out. among the information that was revealed by whistleblower edward snowden is a map that shows where around the world the united states was listening in to people's telephone conversations now this mops generated so that countries with minimum why it tops taking place in the color green and those where the most wiretapping was taking place are in red i would guess has thrown up

a few surprises one of those is that right here in germany a lot of pearson a orange on the map suggesting that it was the subject of quite significant why it's happening this shows that the u.s. has kept some quite serious tabs on just what was going on in the phone conversations of people here in europe's economic powerhouse it's been suggested that although these claims are made that they're trying to stop terrorism that these could be used for economic purposes to try and find out just what's going on inside of europe's only real economic success story at the moment well of course this caused some outrage here in europe and it's certainly going to raise some serious questions when president barack obama arrives here in berlin next week for talks with angle of merkel this is sure to be a major issue that dominates that summit was just what was being listened to and exactly why these conversations were being listened to and it's also likely to raise questions on friday when the european commission vice president vivian

reading talks with senior u.s. officials in dublin now the man here in germany who's in charge of protecting german citizens identity and personal data is called the u.s. actions unacceptable saying that the level of protection that was in place to look after u.s. citizens well was really far greater than those to look after you citizens and well aren't we all allies after all the social democratic party here in germany who are the main opposition party have said that they want to hear from the german secret service to find out exactly just how much and when they knew that german citizens. we're being listened to during their phone conversations now all of this is caused outrage here in europe however at home in the united states well a poll by the washington post suggests that fifty six percent of americans currently think that this type of trolling for four wire taps is acceptable if it was to deter terrorists acts while forty six percent saying that it was

unacceptable so a majority saying that this type of action should be allowed by the united states government despite the well despite the the unnerving that it does towards their european allies people over there will of course this is also a million blow to the internet companies building trust with our most private data business present a kitty pilgrim takes a closer look at the ramifications for them. web sites like facebook google and instagram have been mining the personal information of their hundreds of millions of users through their computers or mobiles every day from our favorite sports top designers diets you name it we've talked about it they make a digital note of it and this personal data is big business most of all stick with grease some of what we can be used to at target our friends do use us to deal even the new revelations at our private data is being abused to make these huge

companies even richer it's a little to quench our enthusiasm for them well at least for now take verizon for example the biggest u.s. cell phone network with one hundred twenty one million subscribers is accused of handing over millions of phone records to the u.s. government but as you can see despite the scandal the company's share price is actually managing to game still valued at around one hundred billion dollars i recently google with more than thirteen billion hits a month the company's street view service was fined seven million dollars in the u.s. because as well as photo mapping the streets their cars were scooping up data on people's emails passwords web histories from their crypt at home and wife i signals google is still was almost three hundred billion dollars facebook with its one point one billion users as has more than a few privacy complaints in recent years there was the farmville breach back in

twenty ten will face but was found to be giving out the game as identification numbers to bird party apps but the company is still worth nearly seventy billion dollars so some of these scandals appear to have dented the value of these companies so do we no longer care how intrusive they are that's what i asked leading media consumer daniel now. it's clear that certain privacy rights and norms have been have been violated but we have to see really how this situation pans out before we make any judgment it's very difficult for consumers to just leave facebook or any other platform because it's not something about either google or facebook but it's something about the internet as such consumers would have little eternity of to move to other platforms because they have all been a little stands now complicit in providing data safe an hour just to switch into these sites but the more the us is up on your space the more frustrated we're

becoming and that greed might just make us finally log off from what a fast becoming anti social networks. well fallout from edward snowden's expose he's developing rapidly we're across it for you get the latest updates and global reaction on the web site out. there as well reporting online how his whereabouts may be unknown right now but he could well end up in russia that's a new line out today that softer a spokesman for president putin said the country would consider granting political asylum to the whistleblower for it will be following that up for you also to british foreign secretary william hague is fighting accusations that the u.k. surveillance agency was allowed to dip into american citizens want to follow that up again. as the place to do it while here. the latest violence in syria claims fourteen lives. at the same time washington is considering military supplies

to the rebels putting diplomatic risk. couple of minutes from that. wealthy british sign. on the. market. what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser report.

elegans focusing on syria now the two suicide blasts rocked the syrian capital damascus has killed at least fourteen and wounded thirty one more explosions targeted a police station in the very heart of the capital with reports that one man blew himself up inside that building the attacks come after the syrian army retort was chris said from the rebels last week and what some see as a turning point now in the war raging forces no plan to recapture aleppo in the north and the rebel held districts of homs. and there jitters in washington over

the recent gains by assad troops who are now backed by hezbollah fighters the u.s. could approve sending weapons to the rebels as early as this week with a no fly zone also among the options that's despite an international peace conference set for july foreign minister sergei lavrov has been outlining russia's position on the latest developments says artie's tomba explains next. lavrov spoke of double standards when it comes to the west's approach to various regimes saying that whilst they supported some dictators because they were considered their dictators in his words other dictatorial regimes were not considered worthy of support and therefore they were considered ripe for toppling this is a thread you do what must be done and. the us and russia c o two out of. every single stupid you know that the world so good the position which is called

through syrian government there is the realizations for. one of there was nuclear but there is the ration by whom of the job and the need to be political leaders of the positions of the world's industry go through because europe and most of europe because there is the going to version as well because of the forwards regime double standards if you wish to either move or on the buso whom you work and who your dog or you agree with because one. person of international guru's these comments come as the there are reports that the forces of bashar al assad are preparing for a massive assault on the city of aleppo currently held by syrian rebels that is one of the reasons that the us is considering as early as this week possibly supplying weapons to syrian rebels they have suffered a defeat recently in the town of qusayr with assad's forces being helped by

hezbollah militants from lebanon also could have a knock on effect to a planned peace conference trying to be organized by russia and the u.s. with the military victories of assad's forces it's thought that assad may have less inclination to try and work towards a constructive peace the rebels also with splits in their ranks struggling it seems to. get a delegation together for that peace conference also questions raised about possible chemical weapons use all of these factors affecting a possible peace conference coming up and possible intervention with weapons supplies to rebels by the west across upon a time by now north africa mali remains on a knife edge even though french troops declared their operation against extremism a success the un has no plans to deploy a new peacekeeping force because leaders a locked in another battle difficult talks with protests over the disputed north

korea for national reports next from mali. france says it's done its job well in mali killed most of its islamist insurgents destroyed the infrastructure and pushed the rest of the country but the people who gathered here in the center of the northern city of gal think france's mission isn't complete. the french are making excuses because our enemy is holding kadar they must resolve this before any elections or negotiations take place france should defend our community not try to keep us in our place. to the desert capital of kiddo has been out of governmental control since last year first has been captured by terrorists indigenous african people fighting to create a breakaway state in the north of mali than the radical islamists came the un

sardine group believed to have ties with al qaida the two factions came to an agreement to establish an islamic autonomy when the french military came they drove out most of the islamists but to accept artist are still there small influences haven't been able to enter the town for months now something that's never been a problem for french troops who have an air base in the baltic or that the criminal who have contacts with the separatists but we don't have coordination with them we don't discuss things with them they don't attack us and we don't consider them enemy we don't have any reason to attack them. but the touring separatists do attack is the mollen military in the areas around and kid else to witnesses heavy fighting yet frank charmi so far refuses to engage with the rebels and can tell regardless of the threat they may post on ali's territorial integrity and the next president election look upon me they will bore you with your make our military part

is over the rest is merely an internal problem. the mali tour of conflict is indeed very much a local fight after independence from france the torrence usual territory across more than mali. was divided in mali it led to years of violence but our exit mostly populate the north of mali here in the southern part of the country you will not find many whites this is how other ethnic groups with significantly darker skin called there are no magic neighbors and this geographical division only deepens antagonism but some believe this internal conflict could never stay as intense without outside help france has been openly supporting what it regards as an oppressed and discriminated minority shortly after the french intervention the defense minister in paris suggested ethnic tour rigs in northern mali should have some autonomy. political muscle the world will begin all over again because of the

behavior of the french they support the torah group balian against all the tribes and cities in the north of mali which just alienated them from the rest even more. than two separate groups which claim there is so lame is to defend the towns from the rigs what they say their own belongs to them but don't agree so they come to the front door. they came first then the islamists arrived after them they open the door for radicals to come into our land . last week president a laundry seeds of peace prize for the operation in mali but it's still unclear whether what the french troops will soon leave behind can truly be described as peace and what peacekeepers officially coming to the scene these july will have to maintain. from mali. thanks me with a soft new movie watching up right on topic the barest exposure of government

surveillance of the united states take said the stay. in the cars report was to kaiser and co with us the. six san diego residents were thrown off of an airplane not for what they said but how they said it because they said it in another language russian in fact a paranoid and cowardly steward on the plane told them that they had to clear out just for speaking another language to be here yes of some group of people were to commit a terrorist act then speaking in a foreign language would be a good tactic i can't deny that and for those who come to america better get on the

ball and learn to speak english adequately but there is a problem about fifty million tourists visit america every year according to the us department of commerce and trust me not all of them are canadians if the usa is going to have millions of tourists arriving in traveling by air then don't be surprised when they speak their own languages if you're going to throw foreigners off of airplanes just for speaking their native languages then you're going to have to basically throw people off of half of the planes flying over the united states but that's just my opinion.

welcome to the kaiser report i'm max because or adam smith warned that people of the same trade seldom made together even for merriment and diversion but for the conversation ending in a conspiracy against the public or in some contrivance to raise prices that's fricken out of smith who said that stacy max for proof of this we are going to look at an image of men of the same trade getting together for the purposes of merriment and diversion it would look like from the photo in this is barack obama in february twentieth levin meeting with steve jobs to his left mark zuckerberg of facebook to his right then you see the c.e.o. of twitter the c.e.o. of yahoo across the table is the google c.e.o. eric schmidt larry ellison and the president of stanford university the last supper then it's an undertaker's convention it's the moment when barack obama.
