turkish police use water cannons and tear gas on protesters in istanbul's taksim square just hours after the prime minister threatened to use force to remove them. moderate cleric rowhani takes almost fifty one percent of the vote to become iran's new president elect amid questions over whether he'll change the country's nuclear ambitions. in syria because u.s. claims it used chemical weapons fabricated russia which is also unconvinced condemns washington's decision to rebels as an undermining of peace efforts.

coming to you live from the russian capital is one am here in moscow tear gas and water cannons have been used by police to disperse crowds of protesters gathered in istanbul's taksim square this come shortly after the turkish prime minister issued yet another warning to protesters saying security forces will intervene if they don't clear the square by sunday. reports from the turkish capital. at this point we can talk about the texas group being completely cleared of protests and i think it by the way you can see it now we have some ambulance vehicles there and if you will if you can look at the corner in the corner of your screen you probably see people that are just smelling everything in tax him in the gezi park and this is that basically what is happening here right now is that police have actually entered a gezi park for the first time in two weeks and they are taking apart all the tents

and all the barricades that people have built there now we also know that neither media nor medical personnel are actually allowed at this point in the park itself at all of this comes just an hour after prime minister was giving them said that this protest will not be tolerated and that's all the tents will have to be gone by sunday you have to understand there are hundreds of tents that were in there people were literally living there for weeks and of course now a lot of people that have left taksim square or other pushed out by police with water cannons and tear gas they're all now in congregating in. the streets that are leading up to talks of square one of the main thoroughfares is to khalil with all the shops and extremely extremely popular public attraction actually i think it's blocked by the by the crowds right now i could hear them cheering and yelling slogans anti-government slogans and they're also cordoned off by police that way and they did use water cannons to try and cool them down but that obviously didn't work so these people are not going anywhere i have asthma you know some temple the

skin next to me and one of them was very violent protests to my gas mask and i showed him you know i had as mine i cannot breathe please don't take much my gas mask they didn't they didn't they didn't listen and then she saw a stampede and brutally they took my gas mask my barretts my cats and and my friends she had to give her own gas mask to me i didn't throw any like stones to the police but they're still attacking me and millions of people like me two days ago he said you had twenty four hours did yesterday you said you you have to win for. hours and today is that you have sealed until tomorrow so i this is an ambush we're going to be here we're not going to leave because this is our preferred that said this is yet another. dispersal of protest in istanbul this week we had another one on tuesday and then if you look at the city like on kharaj the capital of turkey the protests which are dispersed by police with water cannons and

tear gas have been going on there on a daily basis and only two nights of those days were the occasions when police did not interfere this is a major move when it comes to dispersing protests that we're talking about the park now being evicted i do not think that we're seeing the end of it just yet because like i said there are thousands of people that are on the streets of istanbul right now so again we have to wait and see how this iteration develops from here. well austin mackell a specialist on the middle east who has covered on rest in the region so as the protesters have little chance of getting their message across unless you're a united. what we see here is it isn't been a primarily been a nomination from secular western facing to the kind you were used to having a very in a lodge to role in politics sometimes having a loud voice is the most powerful voice that it presents in the countryside and the think that the rise to power the islamists was upset it's now and did you know this

is a really positive element to the protests and the sort of the young kids in just in good part who you know we in the west and elsewhere around the world can identify with that yearning to greater freedoms but there's a real danger that if that if the jersey kids don't get their act together set a state that they what they're going to do is end out mainly benefiting the generals and the old school secular authorities aren't. moderate cleric housen rouhani is iran's new president elect the reformist backed former secretary of the supreme national security council and ex nuclear negotiator won fifty one percent of the vote in the election to avoid a runoff and inherit a country with an economy badly hurt by western sanctions aimed at iran's nuclear

program maria phenomena has been following the vote and reports from the capital. people have taken to the streets of tehran to celebrate the victory all of us on their honeymoon and that is. that victory has provoked mixed feelings among iranians. is known as a reformist and carries many specially in terms of greater freedoms boiron still runs diplomatic isolation the country has been under the top sanctions for years now over its controversial nuclear program during his campaign rouhani has promised to prepare the civil rights charges re strong economy and improved broken relations with them whereas he pays a lakh to his criticize that many times for making remarks that cost the country its credibility but at the same time instead of a value here and there on realize that there was the iranian system works with

major power held by an elected supreme leader the president can do little to change things dramatically. the supreme leader has the final say on big issues like terrence disputed from her syria for example. say that the next president can at least take the time out of aransas dealings with the outside world moment chief nuclear negotiator rouhani has not been for his consulting approach well earlier i spoke to iranian journalist ahmed the reza mahdi who says with rouhani as president because shay sions on iran's nuclear program with the west a more likely to be successful. the west has made a mistake a big mistake by imposing sanctions against iran a nation i would call the sanctions genocidal sanctions that are hurting the ordinary ukrainians but what i'm trying to say is that the art of negotiation

perhaps which has been nonexistent in recent years maybe mr rouhani would be able to rebuild rein in negotiating team in such a way that they can negotiate the whole thing in a better way at the same time we need to understand that iran doesn't want anything more than its rights iran wants its nuclear rights to be respected and it is the west and the ball is now very much is in the court of the western countries who have been accusing that ahmadinejad's administration of being stubborn out and of being not very much serious about the talks now that message rouhani is in place is in office the west doesn't have any more excuses they have to come to the negotiating negotiating table in a serious fashion they have to negotiate with the iranians and they have to solve this problem once and for all and the sanctions would have to be lifted a lot of people in iran are hopeful right now that things would be much better in the coming months. still ahead for you this hour on our take who knows who world

leaders can expect a frosty welcome as anti capitalist protesters in the u.k. come together head of a g. eight meeting to claim banks and corporations are responsible for the country's debt and should be paying up. plus we report on how the man who blew the whistle on american government espionage against its own citizens is getting a lot of public support. syria's government has condemned claims by washington that it used chemical weapons as a caravan of law is based on the fabricated information damascus also accused the white house of double standards in dealing with terrorism after an announced it would send weapons to the rebels the u.s. could impose a no fly zone over parts of syria with egypt's president mohamed morsi also backing that option artie's gun each account has more details. the white house says it's the session to arm syrian rebels is based on intelligence that the assad government

has used chemical weapons the mass denies the allegations washington cites its own intelligence community as well as french and british intelligence a u.s. official who declined to be identified told the media here that according to a cia report the u.s. has acquired blood urine and hair samples from two syrian rebels one dead and one wounded and according to the cia report those two rebels were exposed to nerve agent sarin brian becker and he is here with me today to talk about thank you what the administration tries to present as definitive evidence that the assad government has used chemical weapons we don't know much about the evidence that they have but this report about two rebels do you think that could be enough for the cia to come up with definitive conclusions well no the evidence is dubious it's very scant in fact but it's really not about the evidence it's not even about weapons of mass destruction is not about sarah nerve gas there's been an

acknowledgement in washington that if you want to take this country to war either by bombing another country or intervening or occupying raise the specter of weapons of mass destruction and that's the ticket in order to get massive media coverage justifying an escalation and that's what's going on there's been a decision taken by the white house to escalate this is just a red herring not a red line the phrase that we often hear in washington these days is we need to tip the balance seen the other direction meaning in the direction of the rebels but behind that technical sounding phrase tipping the balance is a lot of killing that would have to be done to achieve that goal right to what lengths do you think the u.s. is ready to go to achieve a desired outcome in syria tipping the balance is just a euphemism and in fact bizarre and ridiculous the fact of the matter is this civil war which is taking ninety three thousand lives according to the united nations.

outside forces got their turkey saudi arabia who are they are the proxies or allies of the united states and britain and france nato powers they've been funneling arms into syria creating the conditions for civil war in fact promoting civil war i would say they have a lot of blood on their hands senator mccain is a very active supporter of of an aggressive u.s. intervention in syria and he's everywhere now on all news channels applauding the administration's decision to arm the rebels in one of the interviews he suggested that he'd talk all the way to extremists taking over syria because they would not be allied with iran and it's not just him who constantly mentions iran in the context of these discussions how much of this is about in your opinion well john mccain's comments are very interesting but but not unusual if you look back the last thirty years the united states has made the my enemy's enemy is my friend the theme of its foreign policy that armed osama bin ladin the mujahideen against the afghan government because it was a socialist government and aligned with the soviet union mccain is

a cheerleader for war but what is the real goal yes iran is the target iran ultimately because of its alliance with syria its alliance with hezbollah in lebanon. weaken hezbollah and finally destroy the islamic republic of iran not because it wants a more democratic iran but because it wants a puppet government or proxy like they used to have when they have the shah. the fear is that the message that the rebels will receive with the weapons is not go sit down and talk the message will be go fight and kill which kind of kills the chances of a political solution doesn't it brian becker anti-war activist in washington i'm going to. russia is also unconvinced by america's chemical weapons findings saying it would make sense for assad to deploy talks accost all foreign minister sergey lavrov also slammed washington's decision to the rebels saying it undermined peace efforts alexy out of cesky has more on moscow's response. the russian foreign

minister revealed that it was very regrettable that when the allegations of rebel syrian rebels using chemical weapons at the town of aleppo were made public by the syrian government it's time to ask the un commission to investigate and nothing was eventually done but only when the allegations off the syrian government using the chemical weapon of weapons appeared to come to ash the experts stocks that it was conduct a certain investigation on this a matter that also revealed that for some time his partners in the west and israel have been saying all along that the syrian government would only use chemical weapons if it's backed against the wall. to the syrian regime hasn't been pushed into the corner the regime according to the rebels is advancing on the ground what's the point of the regime using chemical weapons and in such small amounts to set itself up. with the chemical weapons usage by the syrian government the alleged chemical weapons usage now being hotly debated across the atlantic as well as the

calls to arm the syrian rebels a lover of said that he didn't believe that the red line the so-called red line was actually crossed first of all because what the united states believes to be the proof of assad using chemical weapons is not a substantial proof at all mainly because the prove gathering process itself was not made in accordance with international regulations just. there are certain rules of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which suggest that samples of blood urine and clothes and soils can be classed as evidence only if these samples were collected by the organizations experts and if these experts controlled the samples and rude to the born tories are u.s. colleagues failed to assurance that these procedures were here to level off also reminded that recently allegedly its wealth people from the al nusra front of syrian rebels were detained in turkey carrying chemical weapons also unconfirmed

reports of chemical weapons being produced in iraq for the syrian rebels lavrov found it's very regrettable as well that these reports even despite being unconfirmed did not cause any concerns in the west a lot say will be keeping me fully up to date with the chemical weapons allegations involving both sides of the syrian conflict among other things our website looks at the un commission report from a month ago the revealed suspicions that the opposition not the government was behind the use of sarin gas in syria at r.t. dot com for that and much more we're back with more news after this short break.

a number of different organizations but they all say that they're concerned with one thing and that's the concentration of wealth and power that the g eight summit represents so next week at the g eight david cameron is going to be saying that he's saving the world he's come out with all these great policies that make things better for you know events just not true he's making decisions and all those leads in part to making decisions did in the interests of the fine i'm saying to you shins of these large corporations that normally interested normal people we've got the banks out so. quoted to me we've got the banks out of means they're in debt to us you know we're not a debt to them so this simple stuff earlier this week anti capitalist protesters clashed with riot police in central london and around sixty arrests were made one was on the lips of many of the protesters are expected to today's inequality while this business district is home to a number of investment banks separate the god and territory norm one of london's poorest areas where four out of ten children live in poverty so with further

government spending cuts on the way protests disappointing the finger of blame at the banks and the politicians reporting from canary wharf in london i'm fully boyko for. well the upcoming call is a report delves into the corporate dirty laundry that is so long. is a sneak preview of what marx and stacy discussed levon thirty pm g.m.t. . sold down the river how thames water diverts as tax liability via the caribbean despite five hundred forty nine million pounds profit and six point seven percent price hike. yeah well this story's got it all here you have a basic utility that was built for built by the taxpayer built by the people in britain through their taxes over the years as part of the common wealth part of the public domain essentially it gets privatized through corruption in government what this government of the previous government of the previous government it's corruption then you've got private contractors then they destroy it they loaded up

with debt and that doesn't even function anymore isn't operating it till it so people are swimming in their own fecal matter paying huge taxes and watching the price of water go up for the thames which is as you see right behind me a flowing river through the city of london for thousands of years it doesn't require privatization and financial rape but nevertheless that's what britain gets strung out from front fraud fraud that's all they do and you're a sucker. there's also more stories on our website including a stranded pirate frenchman and he's sentenced to time offline for illegal downloading is the first ever time in the country's history of us and has been completely by the from the internet. and across the atlantic about half a million homes are left in the dark software stormfront almost four hundred

kilometers wide caused massive blackouts in the u.s. we've got footage on our website called. the cyber standoff between the u.s. and china has taken a new twist and made revelations of potentially wholesale industrial espionage by washington the same system the spies are millions of americans is alleged to be stealing the communications of countless chinese the idea of being spied on has led to displays of i'm go outside capitol hill well though even protesting is proving a challenge. michael bay with united states capitol police. certainly you are demonstrating without a permit. not only because you love the school but his music is what we are entitled to prove that it was a right there which we devoted to children have said that we're not more than twenty people in either group because apparently more than twenty people in the country are angry you can't have a demonstration without a permit so we're going to hamil over into the park maybe we'll just have our

selves and moving press conference we're supposed to have the ability to congregate to address grievances to our government this is the one of the biggest scandals ever and we're not allowed to do that what does that say protestors here voiced their support for edward snowden the man who admitted to being the source of leaking classified documents to the guardian he exposed widespread government surveillance being conducted by the n.s.a. amid these revelations protesters here voiced their concern about unchecked government powers i think these discussions about snowden are really a distraction what we need to be focusing on isn't whether or not what he did was lawful it's whether or not what the agency did was lawful what we do or don't do as a society about this massive accumulation of power through the control room for mace information about people's personal lives as well as there simply was information gathered on every detail and what chronic gadget has been american to

us while protesters here celebrate snowden's actions calling him a whistleblower some calling him a hero government officials have condemned his actions including some members of congress snowden is believed to be in hong kong right now. here at the capital is wall r.t. . and in hong kong hundreds have also gathered in support all that would snowden demonstrators urged the government not to extradite the n.s.a. whistleblower lashing out to the u.s. sweeping surveillance program he exposed they also handed over a letter to the u.s. consulate accusing washington of allegedly conducting. cyber warfare against hong kong violating the rights of people there and around the world. turning to some other international news now starting with pakistan where at least fourteen people have been killed by a bus bomb as a university for women in the city of quests or another blast was then reported at the hospital where the injured were being treated followed by a three x.

gunfight in which at least four security officers and four attackers were killed and in a separate attack three rocket propelled grenades hit the former residence of pakistan's found on the hard ali jinnah. there is more unrest in the libyan city of benghazi west special forces have clashed with armed gangs outside a military base in the east of the city six soldiers have been confirmed dead so far is comes a day after a group of men to force their way into a different army compound to steal weapons tension between the population on the military has been on the rise in benghazi since the ousting of colonel gadhafi two years ago. up last second that chemical plant in louisiana and as many days has killed at least one person and injured seven others the accident occurred as explosive nitrogen was being moved but in from the international action center told r.t. the companies and politicians often accuse of turning a blind eye to

a disaster when profits are at risk. louisiana is what's called a right to work state in the united states right to work being you know euphemism for being that the workers are not allowed the form of close shop contract and so there's that there's hostile anti union legislation that makes it very difficult for workers to organize and to form unions so as a result of that it's much more likely that that the working conditions in such factories where that are non-unionized in states where there's a culture of anti-union politics it's much more likely that they would they would have these kinds of accidents really you know industry is organized to make profits for a small group of people and the needs of the workers are last in the lives of the workers in their safety is last in the financial calculation the infrastructure of the united states is largely it's largely lacking and it's falling apart in many places. well that is old from may my colleague sean thomas will be hit in just over thirty minutes but up next it's the latest edition of breaking the sets.
