smoked out with gas and flushed away by water cannons turkish police resort to harsh methods to keep defined anti-government protesters out of a stumbles taksim square. and other news that shaped this week after exposing america's secret surveillance program the cia whistleblower edward snowden remains holed up in hong kong awaiting washington's retaliation. also legal options to rebels on a possible no fly zone in washington's response to syria's apparent use of chemical weapons the damascus calls the evidence lies and russia says it's unconvinced. and iran's new president hassan rouhani promises a new moderate course as the west hopes for a major shift in the country's nuclear ambitions and stance on the syrian conflict

. this is all t. bringing you the day's top stories on the week's top headlines it's four pm in moscow good to have your company turkish police in a stumble have resorted to their tried and tested methods to prevent protests restarting using tear gas and water cannons to prevent crowds gathering in the center taksim square the symbol of anti-government unrest is sealed off off to special forces drove demonstrators out and destroyed temporary camps but the crackdown is having the opposite effect with angry protests flaring up across the country in response. to reports. this point there are more of confrontations between the police and protesters taking place in other parts of istanbul they have

been going on really throughout the night and the entire morning they're lesser in numbers but it doesn't mean they're less intense than they were last night when clashes erupted after police decided started clearing out taksim square and gezi park an hour after running the studio on has made another announcement that his patience has run out and he said the protesters have until sunday to leave but like i said just an hour later the police began their operation with tear gas water cannons even rubber bullets all of this was used in taksim square and in gezi park literally bulldozers were brought in to get rid of the tents in the gezi park at this point it's completely clear as well as taksim square gezi park is not open to any public whatsoever no media no medical staff no no one is allowed there the protesters have congregated in the streets really close to talks and square last night adjacent to the square they were also dispersed by police pushed back into the city. the same time where the upon hearing about this thousands of people have

marched on to talk scenes from the asian side of this town bull but they were stopped by police on the bosphorus bridge again clashes erupted there again tear gas and water cannons this is an interview remains quite tense at the moment because a lot of people are saying that there is an increasing chozen between the protesters and those people who support prime minister erdogan and a lot of people believe that he is a matter of fact is the one who is creating that she has and as we show in our report. clashes turmoil blood to smoke and even death this has been to cause reality for the past two weeks as protests show no sign of subsiding prime minister erdogan shows clear indication he won't budge neither in the prospects of gives you the demolition nor on the requests coming from taksim square. made the. more serious than he was before. trouble to support is telling you spreading some disinformation about people

drinking in mosques or people attacking house car for women and their like the people or killing policemen and most of those information is very incorrect looters alcoholics extremists for an aging soul bounce to wreak havoc in turkey this is the reality of protests according to our don and those some may believe him others i mean critical of the prime minister. i'm against the protests but i think that these protests come from foreign forces from other countries which are not happy with the success and development of turkey i'm really angry with the government i think the one acts like a dictator he does whatever he wants he doesn't care what other people think. i'm against the protests or soon here's the pork because things are getting out of control also the foreign press showed like a big event and this made the process even bigger but the government wants to make peace with people. so far however these efforts appear to have resulted in

get more clashes in istanbul than in karate throughout the week with numerous reports of police brutality we spoke directly to officers to try to find out their side of the story. from day one we worked for three days without sleep or food when you can't eat and afterwards we can think about is sleeping we slept on the pavement on the grass or on our shields maximum one hour a day i didn't get face to face with the protesters but i had no access to any information my phone battery died so i had no idea why the protests got so big the only things i heard were alders from our commanding officers. the pressure on police has been so great that according to their union six officers have committed suicide while nearly a thousand resigned because of the protests as the protests continue with all participants of the conflict growing increasingly tired and desperate and the

government making no clear effort to ease the tensions some begin to wonder where prime minister who prides himself on a building boom in turkey has actually destroyed the very bridges within society in the country in istanbul that. while the lavish use of tear gas has led to criticism not only towards turkish police but towards the country selling it imports of the chemicals have increased fifty fall over the past decade with the u.k. one of the main suppliers artie's polly boyko looks at the dangers of using the so-called non lethal gases. an all too familiar sight for many europeans and your stereotype protests in greece spain. and germany. gay marriage demonstrations in france and now antigovernment protests in turkey whatever the occasion for these european governments tear gas is the answer here gas was invented in part to shut people up in thinking about you know this is where

where communication meets politics we're talking about a technology a weapon that actually inhibits people from being able to speak that enters into the throat that enters into the lungs that forces people to kind of disperse so it is actually a technology that is the complete opposite of what freedom of assembly and freedom of speech look like vision even convention perhaps it's the use of tear gas in international war and yet it's perfectly legal to use against civilian populations the problem with all of these agents is that talks history and the long term effects are worked out primarily on sort of if you like prime age i don't. and we know very well that the p.c.'s and those other gases affects differentially people all people who are pregnant people who are sick and children the past eighty years have seen reports of lost eyes cranial damage and even death as

a result of tear gas canisters it's still somehow legal somehow ok for companies manufacturing tear gas to call themselves non-lethal meanwhile the canisters come with labels on them that say this is deadly this could be deadly and how is that even ok you see the tear gas being used increasingly being extensively particularly because of the intense civil unrest which is developing across europe as a result of the economic crises and you see it in greece you see it in spades really it's not just. what's been happening in turkey and the. weapons which are inevitably the weapons of. a regime which is attempting to suppress the. protests of people behind these gates is where it all began at the porton down military research base in england's rural will show c.s. gas was developed and tested has secretly in the one nine hundred fifty s.

since then it's become a profitable industry sold to police forces the world over in the form of tear gas and pepper spray in the past four years britain has sold almost as much tear gas to europe as it has to the middle east so it's a weapon system is manufactured by number of companies or for those companies it's obviously experion we profitable to be to be selling the more civil unrest the more issues the more the selling and the more money they make what we would size amnesties the profit must never ever ever come before human rights and what we really need is governments to ensure that when the last thing the stuff by all stopping use of any tear gas supplies of any two camps where there is a clear risk as in the case currently in turkey that goes back to be used in the suppression of if human rights westminster is currently reviewing the export licenses to taxi in light of the istanbul disturbances that for those worried about

it seem creasing use c.s. gas is merely a symptom of more fundamental issues surrounding democracy and you. see london. well let's get more insight into what's happening in turkey dr shrub non-chord often john jay is a human rights activist from turkey and has been following the unrest from the outset thank you very much for talking to us here on our take on what's your reaction to how the authorities have responded in the last twenty four hours or so . thank you for just making our words heard. has a really good support or a lot now they are so you know remember our. day you. do these tear gas excessively it's incredible. they use the tear gas and this riaa levels against medical doctors against the insurer people and day you have attacked older health units that have been. in the area.

and maybe you have heard of it but they have also became dr of medical doctors who will internally just suck orks the how cure myths or heal these people who are insured because of these tear gas and also jazz and now there are cities of course it is incredible just to. hear that for example the government was to make peace with the protesters or that have been so patient that these were tests. they have never been patient with the surface they have never wished to make peace actually goes from the beginning you know i'm trying to minister of turkey i had everybody watched learned the protests and they have lying. that these people are marginal groups

although they are actually the public who are against these oppression from the government. and as you have also witnessed. that this unusual tear gas had. killed people. reraise there are too many people who are unsure just forget last night for example till morning there are so many people who have been jew or severely wounded was tools taken care of so it is very dangerous today maybe you have also been less than one of the protesters who have been killed by the police by dire conditions that never they got. had that funerals and the police and the funerals so it's to me it's a about situation of the mind what can the prime minister do to quell the unrest.

they had to just talk to the protesters and to listen. to given their attraction to do well this is being brave because. they have the oprah show. although they have negotiated with the groups who have been protesting for do you feel nearly three weeks. they haven't kept the promises i know so far although they have told that they would keep the park if you will presenting to depart they have an immediate effect the part that is just the polish the craft and so they have to keep their promises we just we can this thread since they're told these promises. so we can never be. so sure that they are sincere actually. it is very easy just to

calm the situation because as you have also witnessed and everybody witness during the negotiations and there were no threats that cold. it was very peaceful in taksim square why did it play the piano everybody listen everybody was peaceful one day attacks started not immediately and everything is so long island's. frank you very much free time and foresee time is against us but i thank you for your insights all time what is happening here and i think you expect to have a human rights activist thank you very much thank you very much. moving on to other news and edward snowden the man who exposed the extent of

america's secret global surveillance program remains at an unknown location in hong kong awaiting washington's next move against him he willingly revealed his identity often leaking documents showing the u.s. national security agency has been keeping tabs on both americans and foreign as hundreds of people marched outside the u.s. consulate to show their support for the whistleblower. they were outraged by the level of spying obama's administration is conducting amounting to tens of thousands of trucking operations worldwide praties marina portnoy examines how the revelations of its spying machine have left crux in washington's democratic facade . last weekend the u.s. president and his chinese counterpart met for a private bilateral summit focused on cyber attacks and virtual espionage washington blaming beijing for being an online outlaw today the tables have turned courtesy of n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden the n.s.a.

leaker told the south china morning post of the u.s. has been hacking chinese and hong kong computers since since zero nine snowden alleges that the u.s. national security agency's targets included the chinese university of hong kong public officials and students allegations that give weight to claims by officials in beijing that the country has been the victim of u.s. hacking efforts america's turned into the world cop they think that they can basically set the standards for everybody else to follow their own paranoia global paranoia and outrage has been rising ever since one of america's best kept secrets known as prism was revealed the n.s.a.'s clandestine electronic surveillance program records digital communications and allows for real time online surveillance of citizens both foreign and domestic prism gives u.s. intelligence agencies direct access to files so. short on the servers of nine major

internet companies including google and facebook to identify and target potential terrorist suspects officials in italy britain and germany the most spied upon country said the program was both alarming and encroached on privacy politically to some extent i think it's the united states government but rather because despite all the claims from the white house and from the congress the reality of that astley excessive search of valence has been documented by the material of the authentic material from the n.s.a. it was snowden has released revelations about prism has prompted the american civil liberties union to file for lawsuits against the obama administration more than one hundred and fifty thousand american citizens have signed an online petition calling for an end to washington's and massive spying apparatus a clandestine program which the president who promised an unprecedented amount of

transparency ironically defends you can't have one hundred percent security. and also then have one hundred percent privacy and zero inconvenience. you know we're going to have to make some choices as a society the obama administration finds itself losing not only the war on leaks but enormous credibility at home and abroad with the oversell a school of watching everyone in the name of national security one may wonder if the u.s. government has become its own worst enemy reporting from new york marina portnoy r.t. . well we're closely watching the developments on this story log on to our web site dot com for the full timeline all the events expert analysis on the latest updates meanwhile stay put for more news here and i'll say after this break.

government troops are winning the battle to battle according to the russian foreign minister this makes no sense at all for. point of view and the follow up statement by president obama that he wanted to see the balance of power is restored in the country and possibly even the syrian rebels is creating even more grounds for concerns in russia and europe as well so we have russia being skeptical about it the only voice or other others were skeptical about the u.s. evidence not everyone is buying it the e.u. the main allies of the united states they are asking additional checks from the u.n. investigators russia says that the proof gathering process itself was done with violations of 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 soon can be classed as evidence only if the samples were collected by the organizations experts in these experts controlled the samples

and rude to the board during our u.s. colleagues failed to assure us that these procedures were here to do you think there's been a lot of resistance to accepting this evidence that the u.s. says it has well just let's look at the history let's go back ten years ago to two thousand and three when the u.s. state secretary colin powell was shaking a vial with allegedly anthrax in it suggesting that iraq has weapons of mass destruction chemical weapons we all know where this when so the u.s. clearly don't want to step on the same break again at the same time another rather concerning statements coming from the u.s. that they are considering implementing a no fly zone over syria which in many cases is the first step for a military and and has certainly a striking resemblance to the iraq a scenario almost a decade ago and so as we've seen the rebels themselves are kind of a very diverse group a lot of interest in a lot of different groups as part of the so-called opposition that they have in syria are there allegations against them as well i've heard words of regret coming

from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov that all claims and allegations coming from the syrian government that the opposition used chemical weapons against them have. never been investigated there have been scenes and footage just of the opposition testing chemical weapons on rabbits more recently twelve people from al nusra front the syrian militarized opposition brigade were detained in turkey by the turkish police allegedly carrying vials of zareen gas on them so definitely they're not saints here but these claims are not being investigated for some reason or the syrian issue was also addressed by the russian president during his q. and a session with our teams own journalists here at our moscow studio but amir putin said the lack of a united stance among foreign players is causing the fighting to escalate national political chill opposition has always been to allow people to make a decision about the structure of power in syria our rights interests in safety will be ensured only after these agreements to reach should return to more systemic

transition and not vice versa to throw everyone out and then plunge the entire country into chaos with what our colleagues cannot answer is this one of the key organizations inside the so-called armed opposition is a nurse or a u.s. state department deems it a terrorist organization with ties to al qaeda and the group doesn't make that a secret will it be part of the new government because they say no i asked them so we just swap them away like flies you know they say so what will happen they say but we don't know where is the logic in this is going to it well you can hear more of what the president had to say to our teams journalist in a longer version of the interview coming up in around twenty minutes time here on r.t. . iranians have voted to replace the outgoing hardline president mahmoud ahmadinejad with

a pro reformist moderate son rouhani took more than fifty percent of the votes after promising among other things to open dialogue with the west lottie's maria phenomena explains some of the most sensitive issues will be out of his reach. people have taken to the streets of tehran to celebrate the victory all of us on the hot hand that is there right now. that's hot his victory has provoked mixed feelings on iran's lips curled into this is known as a reformist and so carries the hope of many specially in terms of greater freedoms boiron announced iran's diplomatic isolation the country has been on the top sanctions for years now over its printer version of a nuclear program during his campaign rouhani has promised to prepare the civil rights trotter resold the economy to places where it was his good side

but he's up many times making remarks that cost the country a privilege but at the same time the area there on. iran's system works with major power held by the i neglected supreme leader of the present can do little to change things dramatically the supreme leader has the final say on big issues like terrence disputed nuclear brought her most to syria for example certain of those say that the next president can at least takes the time out of the rounds dealings with the outside world moment chief nuclear negotiator rouhani it's not good for his consulting approach. comes to iran but he'll have plenty to deal with left over from his predecessor here's my report on that let me just legacy or leave a baseline of her public record has been in the real estate business for years and

iran will be asking to summarize the legacy of president bush as he talks about pizza if you can others a right side increased by a hundred percent since last year we have no full throated featureless economy's bad guys get insiders. one of the president's promises after taking office in two thousand and five was to make iran's vast oil revenues felt at the dining table of every single family was he leaves behind is a country hit by the worst financial crisis and the leaders are as much as the raw some who say it's not what it is just who's to blame for the downturn a hundred sanctions were tough recently and it's hard to keep afloat for the president you know but people aren't sure that iran is able to resist international pressure to the iranian economy has been hit hard by strain of ever tougher sanctions imposed successively by iran and the u.s. over it is ations the countries trying to develop nuclear weapons something which was never proved as autonomic energy that has been able to stand up to the whole

world over iran's nuclear program and the country's better off for it. and other bats over to parchin leader will be remembered for is his rhetoric about israel and iran six residental relations reach the point when even war seemed very possible and while ahmadinejad has not exactly been friendly towards israel the way facts have been gentle devout him has done more damage to his reputation than his own words years ago i was thinking when he was taken in a stream we did to him which was in negative translated as israel was must be wiped off the face of america actual words were that israel must vanish from the arena of time and he didn't even belong to any way other than objective is to make up with the new judge in a village he stands for universal rights where every country would have an equal say that some powers want nothing but dominance and they focused on blocking one name of our president mr one of this year's presidential candidates does not agree

say. during the two thousand the election campaign he criticized his advisors and they were off to raise at her source the best and most honest way to get the power mad in. the deadly protests that raged across the country after their. actions are also thought to have been declined from the johnson image the result many people were frightened all other let me not talk about my job at all. even those who don't want to it's nice to just manage i'd say there is little connection we do here on the coding to our constitution the supreme leader as much will power as in this country almost every step the president takes should be supervised and blessed by the ayatollah so despite all the controversy surrounding president definitely shod it looks like iran will continue to be a force in the region and therefore will remain the foolish side of the us and its allies mahmoud ahmadinejad's eightieth presidency provokes mixed feelings a very controversial leader he was equally hated that he or she in iran has been

amazing going to the president send them both defend over any policy believe today if iraq is hopeless but his legacy will cost a shadow over the next president some time. break nationality technorati iraq. still to come for you this hour bombings and shootings ripped through she and neighborhoods across iraq leaving at least thirteen people dead later this hour we take a look at how a recent spike in sectarian violence is undermining hopes for peace in a region that war with itself. plus the first female in space valentino telescope a celebrates fifty years since our flights which plays women's route to the stars that's on more after this break.

welcome back to you r.t. at least thirty people have been killed in a spate of bombings and gun assaults targeting shia muslim neighborhoods across iraq if a week of sectarian violence between sunnis and shias. takes an in-depth look at what's behind a conflict which is left more than two thousand people dead since april. may was the bloodiest month seen in iraq in the past five years a surge in sectarian violence that's raised fears of another civil war sunni versus shia one country two sects. iraq has been through this before and that divide never really sealed tensions are growing between the shiite led government and minority sunnis inflamed by the raging conflict in neighboring syria to understand the divisions we have to travel to an area off limits to foreign journalists the

end bar province following the u.s. led invasion this area was the heartland of the sunni insurgency today it's become the focal point of the anti-government protests. for several months now every friday this scene prayer on the highway to baghdad followed by protests against the baghdad government it's a situation that's reflective of the state of iraq today a country that has been torn apart by war but doesn't seem to be and the closer to healing the wounds and the divisions that have been on the least during that occupation here the sunni protesters who have gathered behind me want a different kind of system they want to change they feel that the government doesn't represent them. is one of those protesters he's brought his son to almost every demonstration there for a residence but not by choice he says he was forced to flee baghdad for fear of arrest by the military and that his sect made him a target of one day a military brigade surrounded the area where we lived in baghdad and started making

arrests they were targeting sunday residents and arrested two of my cousins so i gathered my family and escaped to flu jab. the demonstrators complain of discrimination arbitrary arrests detention even torture under the rule of prime minister nouri al maliki charges that the government denies. that the government systematically driving sunnis from baghdad this is no secret. migration is being done in the open cities are restricted in everything from where we live to the kinds of jobs we can have but in a shia neighborhood a different version of the story fearful of retribution for speaking out this resident prefers to hide his identity he tells us of the dangers iraqi shia face from armed groups. we also have been displaced by threats from al qaeda and other militias this used to be a mixed area but people have started exchanging houses between sunni and shia families for safety. some analysts blame the united states for the divisions they

build the new system political system in iraq on the sectarian basis. like they made the proportions for the seventies for this then and for the dish and this is very little. those divisions have taken a toll on iraqi youth a generation separated by the threat of violence. really affects this thing causes a lot of problems between me and my friends especially if they're from a different six we can't work together we'll hang out publicly in some neighborhoods i could get killed for being seen with someone from a different religious group ten years after the war iraq is still struggling to find peace as the ghosts of its sectarian past haunt the future you see caffein of r.t. baghdad. there's plenty more news online for you including gold for our say we start the best award for best twenty four hour news program at the monte carlo television festival online we show you what coverage to try to the attention of the

jury. and the harsh reality for some young israelis trying to avoid serving in the army that's better than prison and that's a better option than picking up a gun we have that report coming up. it's been exactly fifty years since valentino telescope became the first woman in space a groundbreaking flight lasting almost three days as inspiration for women ever since ati's tom barton has the story one small step for a woman. two years after yuri gagarin valentino tarrasque over chased his rocket vapors up to warburton nine hundred sixty three to become the first woman in space . the training was the same for men and women space doesn't make allowances for gender. even today valentino is a folk hero only slightly less famous than the gaar in russia and the space

valentino. saying q thank you so much for being an impulse inspiration to me and many other women and girls around the world to reach our dreams congratulations but back then she started off as one of many selected from among hundreds of applicants one of five other finalists could have gone in a place. of course i wanted to go into space all of us did now we're celebrating tara scores on a verse three but at the time we were naturally very upset that it didn't choose us . it was a time of cold war with soviet leader nikita khrushchev desperate to keep the momentum going after the garden was first across one of the great hurdles of the space race as such the project was kept top secret valentino didn't even tell her own mother what she was doing the break i told her i was in a parachute jumping team and she believed me plus when her friends congratulated her she didn't believe them either saying she's not me in space she's

a parachutist it would be two decades ago before the next female cosmonaut went into space and after fifty years only three russian female cosmonauts have ever been in orbit i sense that on them there are lots of women astronauts another country and it's hard to explain why the situation in russia is different than this is largely due to russian attitudes to women in space i would call this uncivilized perhaps they don't trust women enough valentino became a perfect publicist for the soviet union she was banned from flying ever again after their gardens death viewed as too valuable of public face to lose along this hall of fame a statues of men central to soviet space exploration but valentino tedesco is the only woman you'll find here call sign was siegel and for the u.s.s.r. and for all the women who dreamt of doing the same this seagull through higher than any other top bottom r.t. moscow. well russia's president visited artie's new headquarters here in moscow and

the arrow to the at. the arab world's one issue that at least our views are generally excited about today is the snowden case a man who is now being dubbed a second a sound has exposed total surveillance practices employed by the american government there are two sides to the story on the one hand that was classified information which makes this man a traitor but on the other hand the information he has leaked is of crucial importance primarily for the american public and for the world in general what do you think of that. i think everybody has long been aware that signals

intelligence is about surveillance of individuals and organizations is becoming a global phenomenon in the context of combating international terrorism and such methods are generally practicable but the question is how well those security agencies are controlled by the public i can tell you that at least in russia you can't just go and tap into someone's phone conversation without a warrant issued by court that's more or less the way a civilized society should go about fighting terrorism with modern day technology. and a man until his deputy editor in chief with. some law you have the mike is going to . look i mean to ask you about drones but on the as you know american police draws to the lever air strikes almost and i daily basis this happens especially often in pakistan and if you other countries in one hand drawings are efficient in combat but on the other hand will all aware of the collateral damage the public in many

countries and i found this shocking and there has already been a motion for imposing an international ban on news and rumors about what i would like to ask you about russia's attitude on the issue of modern means of warfare keep evolving and they always will i doubt if it's possible to simply ban it all but you certainly can and should introduce certain rules and exercise control i know they're currently debating this issue in the united states and a notion is being advocated increasingly often within the u.n. framework that you need to put drones and to control you need to lay out certain rules of engagement in order to prevent or minimize collateral casualties it's extremely important i don't know whether our western counterparts will choose this option but i would suggest it would be in their best interest however there are other threats to for example they are presently debating the option of using non nuclear ballistic missiles in the united states can you imagine how potentially dangerous that is what if such a missile were to launch from somewhere. in the middle of an ocean and get spotted

by nuclear powers early warning system how should that nuclear power react to a missile coming its way how are they supposed to know whether this missile comes with a nuclear warhead or not or if the missile impacts right next to its border or inside its territory do you realize how perilous that can be. or take the notion of low yield nuclear weapons do you realize how badly that can blur the very back down trees of using nuclear bombs or how low the threshold might sink for authorizing such destroying can you imagine the possible implications of something like where are the limits for lowering that threshold and who setting them there are many threats in the world of today and there is only one way trip dress them efficiently that is working together within the boundaries of international law. and now would like to give the floor to peace in the valley which has been present i want to all most popular shows cross talk it seems like we live in the age of opposition. and

we have the arab spring and heard about europe and the crisis there. and the occupy movement united states which our team did an excellent job in covering but what about the opposition in russia public opinion polls show it's very small not much support what kind of opposition would you like to challenge you at a certain point we saw the police cracking down on the occupy wall street activists i won't call the actions of police appropriate or inappropriate my point is that every opposition movement is good and useful if it acts within law if they don't like the law they should use democratic means to change those laws which they should persuade voters to join them and they should get elected into the legislature is so that they can have a chance to change the law if there are people who act outside the law then the state must use legal means to impose law in the interests of the majority that's the way it's done in the us and that's the way it's done in russia truth be told

we're criticised for that but when the same thing happens in the us it's considered to be noble never mind that it is double standards we have got accustomed to this and pay little attention to it when they talk about it when it happens in the us to growth america. but i wish you do the right thing you know everyone must be treated . in the same fashion because these two situations are identical because the only difference is that our diplomatic missions don't actively cooperate with occupy wall street and your diplomatic missions work together and directly support russian opposition but i think this is wrong because diplomatic missions must forge ties between states and not meddle in their domestic politics. getting back to popular movements if they express their will by legal means without breaking the law then they're fully entitled to do that in this case it would be beneficial to any state because it's a way to provide grassroots feedback on the state policies whether it be social domestic.
