security process. as a result how would he was attracted by the tear gas applied by the police here and the taxi where the epicenter of protests against the prime minister. came thousands of people the demonstrators responded they were firing stones and bottles earlier our cameraman cameraman was hit by smoke grenades as police used what it can be an advanced across the square according to the authorities the main goal of this police actions was to clear barricades and opposition banners from the square and from the building that was sound turned and became the main. opposition moments before the police advance policemen were confronted by the demonstrators who were calling them to leave this square protests began two weeks ago. of gezi park in the same square which in its turn asked collated international white

antigovernment protests type air to ground in its turn that. where the demonstrators urged the protesters to leave the square saying that he will meet those legitimate demands on wednesday. and we have been following the events in turkey since the protests started two weeks ago. international. along with other protesters caught up in the violent. you can find out the latest developments of the turkey unrest. and the protestors in turkey crying out against the brutal tactics of the police and the rest are witnesses claim security forces show little mercy towards those who do end up taking to the streets in this video posted on the internet a man in a wheelchair can be seen being targeted with the water. already. among

protesters on twitter meanwhile the prime minister's been pointing the finger over the course of the protests the one claiming social media and an international conspiracy against the professor who c.n.n. back jean from the middle east technical university ankara he thinks more unrest will only further split the country that is the. uprising against the wall mount or intervention of the prime minister in the lives of citizens from the right of speech to drink of alcohol or any other things i think the turkey is experiencing now new trouble and five of quality and political terms and the government is responsible to get out from the conflict but not organize. demonstrations like which is set for the recount on saturday and sunday i think it is the wrong move of the government to bring one

side of the society against the other side of the force it can only lead in the long ground feasible. it's good to have you with us here in r.t. today while the united states estimates the potential damage to national security from leaks about its surveillance efforts the man behind them edward snowden now faces a life on the run and one of the most world's most prominent whistleblowers julian assange sure said that he feels sympathetic toward snowden's plight the wiki leaks founder of still holed up in ecuador's embassy in london he had a chance so to speak to my colleague kevin now in saying that despite a washington crackdown on leakers as a public demand for those who do truly reveal the truth. empathize having being

through a very similar situation myself. trying to actively support through this interview or in other ways the snowden's plight already we have seen that the department of justice united states has taken up the issue has been many calls for his prosecution he's family has been raided in holding looted by police already sorry yes he will be subject to prosecution by united states for years and i'm certain of that many sources are quite scared i mean we're seeing kohli colleagues of mine have even stated publicly that their sources are reluctant to talk because of the crackdown against bradley manning and that's what that whole trial is trying to achieve it's trying to set a precedent for the communicating with the media is the same as communicating with me and that's a death penalty or face. an outrageous president any. communications

and information to the media can be prosecuted for aiding the enemy and as a result. sentenced to death. and that's that really it's the end of the security journalism united states if if the president is that bush is still holed up in the ecuadorian embassy given the clampdown that might come down now whistleblowers after what we've seen over the last couple of days what do you think your personal chance is on of walking free any time soon what keeps you going. well what keeps us going is the worldwide support that we have which is really quite extraordinary yes we humans have a banking blockade it's called at about ninety five percent of its finances but we have provide support so even five percent is. five percent is not nothing the u.k. government has admitted to spent five million dollars in the past ten months on

surveilling this embassy in relation to me completely awfully disproportionate that's an offense to u.k. tax plan people can see to the geopolitics that things are starting to change politically you know stray. political party now according to the government's own polling outfit has between twenty five and twenty eight percent of the fight in the elections in september. and antiwar activist i kevin zeese he says no amount of government pressure and ultimately stopping assad is from exposing the wrongdoing to the public well there's no question that the u.s. security state will continue with the same strategy and strategies which pursued really for many years and certainly president obama has escalated that strategy of prosecution you know it's amazing that they don't learn the lesson and they tried to intimidate was a blower right across in bradley manly by mistreating him in prison hold the insulter it more than a year and you know we have some of the biggest leaks in history coming after that occurred they may intimidate some people to be certain all you need is one person

who has the courage and the patriotism to step forward and tell the truth i think you'll see that always happening whether it's big business abuse or big government abuse you'll see more and more people stepping forward and saying that's not acceptable that's illegal it's unethical and the american people here know about it the world needs to know about it and so people will go for not going to stop this is these leaks from coming who would like. now while the f.b.i. is building a case against snowden off to the leak of america's secret surveillance program more significant revelations they get to be published. and that will be breaking those set to eight am g.m.t. she'll be looking at how millions of the u.s. have ultimately been light. let's take a trip down memory lane to most exactly one year ago that's about the time that senators ron wyden and mark udall two members of the intelligence oversight committee asked the n.s.a. a simple question just how many people in the u.s. are being spied on pretty straightforward question marion

a straightforward answer right well not to the n.s.a. which replied by saying that revealing that information would quote violate the privacy of u.s. persons yep apparently it be a violation of your privacy to know that you're being spied on is that not the most orwellian thing you've ever heard of well when the news came out i remember joking that the n.s.a. probably didn't want to release that information because the real answer would have been everybody fast forward to today but you know what the joke's on me because the n.s.a. is in fact spying on every person by phone and internet court in a whistleblower edward snowden. revelations about the n.s.a.'s mass surveillance program continue to cause ripples now it's the turn of american tech giants facebook and google to watch the government for more transparency about its requests. data that's

a click away right now on the web site on the dot com for you this hour. also who's next to enter the ranks of nuclear weapon states about the netherlands leaked reports state that countries are still storing twenty two nuclear weapons from america somewhere deep underground and much more. right now. for the meantime here on over a thousand police were deployed in london to crackdown on protesters this ahead of next week's global summit in northern ireland. so-called carnival against capitalism and didn't scuffles and at least fifty seven arrests after a three hour standoff police force their way in. the one building where the protesters were squatting one of the activists arrested on the roof was injured and hundreds of anticapitalist protesters took to the streets to march on that target sites of businesses in central london which they called the world's most brutal and

polluting companies tuesday was the first day in a week of protests planned by the activists and we had a chance to speak to one of the organizers. people's message is that you know we want some of our real democracy back there seems to be a corporate takeover of democracy there's another name for the fascism we're very unhappy about the removal of our right to protest about rights to a fair trial a lot of different things of you know the new scoring or that being bring in you know there is there's a lot of things in this country people are very unhappy about that these you know major groups are trying to you know subvert democracy basically and we need to have a more transparent government we need you know to look at the whole situation the whole austerity law that's been pumped out on us it's not actually recession this is a robbery you have you know central banks meet in the economies into boom and bust

and people knowing about this behind the scenes you know they are actually role being a lot of our public services and putting them into their private hands at the moment we're not being listened to in this country is that the people here. thanks for joining us here on r.t. today the main t.v. and radio channels in greece have all been taken off the air after the government decided to shut down all state run broadcasters that means all twenty five hundred employees have lost their jobs or the authorities slam the company as a haven of waste a large crowd joined in a protest against the decision which is the latest in a cost cutting drive as athens struggles to please international lenders a penny you're just a social and political expert from the university of the he says it's not just about the economy anymore. kerry until eventually are witnessing a very authoritarian parent from the part of the greek government the decision to shut down the whole network of the greek public broadcasting system is an

example of the attempts from the part of the greek government to comply with the demands of the european union i.m.f. and is to be troika it's not just a question of a stare at me it's not just a question of recession it is also a question of democracy setting down in the name of the sterett the overhaul of public broadcasting network. is it is a heavy blow to democracy. i know while the eurozone is struggling to eke out some growth the developing economies have been showing some rather impressive performances over the so-called emerging markets accounting for over a huff of the world's g.d.p. and growing in the developed countries analysis on that is just ahead for you here in the program want to say. the hidden dangers of justice system reform in the u.k.

in a plans to recruit private companies to supervise offenders are released back into the community we return in just a moment here on out. to speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's

all here on. reporting from the will talks about six of the ip interviews intriguing stories for you. in trying. to find out more visit our big. dog called. the morning from moscow and this is auty quarter past nine here on wednesday on will receive show. the u.k. government is under fire for its probation reform with many words taking risks with public safety critics. to abandon plans to dismantle private trusts which supervise people released from jail and instead hand over the job to private companies. rehabilitation revolution

that's what the coalition governments promised and in a bid to cut re-offending rates the government's now planning to turn to private companies like us with plans to outsource a large chunk of the service by twenty fifteen that might come as a surprise to some given the less than gold standard performance of g four s. there's a lympics when they failed to deliver on promises to curate. and the plans have been met with fierce opposition from across the public sector with many warnings that far from a revolution disaster waiting to happen and we're extremely concerned about proposals to trust the secretary's proposals to privatise two thirds of the workforce two thirds of the work load put in the hands of untrained private sector providers the proposals will leave the public probation service with around fifty thousand but the offenders he pays the greatest risk with private and voluntary services looking after the rest can sort here will be the contracts on

a payment by results basis the fear is that placing this vital parts of the criminal justice system into the hands of private companies could be putting community risk. but there is a risk because although we have a number of prisoners who will never be released the vast majority of prisoners will be walking out of those gates behind i'm coming to. you many of the low to medium risk offenders go on to commit much more serious crimes the same called revolving door every offending angie's just finished his second stint. just three months after his release from prison the first time he found himself right back inside. a mine because he said he'd been on probation before an event she then called back inside the prison when wrong and what happens they were trying to put in the right now trying to get on

a train scheme. there waiting funding from the government like prince charles. now duck to time to law isn't it between to trust and then to analyze and to do and two three months why didn't i was i was i wasn't even anywhere at the time i was all over the place. by copying. this really offending cycle the government's trying to break and they say that payment by results well innovate the system the question is the way he carries the risk if things don't work out at the end of the day those product companies are going to be accountable to shareholders not to the public and their losses will be splits in fact it will be for the full interview. if not. today. the plans of all so you can tease many in the public probation sector which won the t thousand and eleven push quality foundation

gold medal the excellent. public bought private good. at the end of the day i still appalled the idea that anybody makes any profits out of the suffering of other people in the criminal justice system. government insists the plan even just. days on the front line a warning that this bit to cut costs. that's a very high price. all right twenty minutes past the hour into the anti war there we go now starting with afghanistan at least seventeen people killed around four. suicide bomber supreme court staff in the capital are women and children were said to me among the victims. the taliban claiming responsibility saying it was targeting judges who obey western powers the blast which is the deadliest in the end of twenty eleven and went off several steps away

from the u.s. embassy. at least four fast growing wildfires have broken out in a heavily wooded area in the northeast of colorado springs in the u.s. dozens of homes have been damaged thousands evacuated amid strong winds and record breaking. firefighters are working at the scene trying to bring the flames under control and there are no immediate reports of injuries at this point. and several are once again hit a northeastern region of lebanon not far from the border with syria at least three local residents were wounded in the predominantly shiite area such attacks have risen since syrian troops supported by fighters from the lebanese militant group hezbollah clawed back to the key town of last week syrian rebels threaten to retaliate and fight hezbollah inside lebanon if it doesn't stop back in the government in damascus. and while the financial doldrums have been rocking the global economy it seems it's not all doom and gloom for everyone for the first time

since the industrial revolution of the eighteen hundreds the developing countries have surpassed the developed ones signaling big changes in the global economic landscape. business presenter katie billed him as details. developing countries now account overhaul of the world's economy and with this growth comes power so we should nations are we talking about that well if we look at this map we can see that the developing world is overtaking the developed world and if we wind the clock back we can see that back in one thousand nine hundred eighty two the developed world account of the sixty nine percent of the world economy while the developing world took up just. false forward all than thirty years the a mugging economies will make up nearly three quarters of the world economy by twenty seven taking so is this economic shift changing the balance of power i asked

legendary investigative raja's exactly that. we're already seeing it it's not just the. world economy it's creditor nation her new nation as well as star italy people like great britain america finance developing nations so that they could grow but now it's the developing nations which have the money to develop i don't know if you've been you've been to hong kong or think of for a career some of the places the standard of living in many of these places much better than america right now the j.f.k. in new york and you realize you're in a third world airport but is that your poor or in your are going to earth were it's already happening. say from the sounds of it these so-called developing countries don't need to develop any mole maybe it's the countries which have held the post strings to so long who could now do with a little maintenance walk from moscow it's are often caught up in tension in the

middle east israel frequently finds itself under fire both critically and literally and it's not a physical threat but it's now being claimed people are unprepared for. this report . israel is the most fertile and country in the ward with about fifty to thanks to thousands of rockets. into israel and this is the reason why we have to be prepared but if the bombs start falling the only thing menachem penske can do is pray because like other orthodox jews this father of two is bristling with anger he's had to choose potentially save his life with a government supplied gas mask or keep it off and rely on prayer as things stand he can't do both cannot cut off my bid to fit the gas mask the beard is part of being a jew growing a beard falls under respect of human life and i should not be forced to remove it

in times of war just because the gas mask the government gives me doesn't fit over but even if you are clean shaven israeli only slightly more than half the population has a gas mask and if that's not indication enough recent drills organized by the home front were ignored by most people i was part of television residents and most people here will tell you that in times of war they know they miss grammont the gas mask if they have one and one interesting case but what happens after that no one seems to have a clue no one is olbermann is typical she lives on the second floor of an apartment block with no shelter or any idea of where to find one i think i was supposed to go to the stairs or something i don't really know i have my get my guess mess. and i'm supposed to have it somewhere but they don't really take it it's not as if the powers that be are unaware of the threats a record number of exhibitors converged on television recently hosting the largest defames expose the country seen in years

a wake up call that citizens need to be protected or on. this. case. their priority is because of this it's never enough. but that's still no excuse complain residents of the streets village not far from the israeli lebanese border forty percent of israel's arab population are without shelters and when dozens of his below missiles rained down here during the last lebanon war there was only one public shelter to protect five thousand people. without a doubt the state is the only responsible and guilty party in the past people were caught in the line of fire like slaves as targets with probably today this is a situation for out of citizens who live in israel's north shields in the face of any intensive rocket fire on the country which just goes to show that behind the class of israel's well polished military facade the population dangerously exposed
