smoked and with tear gas flushed away by water cannons turkish police resort to harsh methods to defiant anti-government protesters from istanbul's taksim square. meanwhile thousands of air to one supporters rally in istanbul where the prime minister defends police tactics and lashes out at protesters in foreign media for their alleged complicity in. other news shaping the week after exposing the u.s. secret surveillance program cia whistleblower edward snowden remains holed up in hong kong awaiting washington's expected retaliation. are mr rebels in a possible no fly zone washington's response to syria's apparent use of chemical weapons but damascus calls the evidence lies russia says it's unconvinced. iran's new president hassan rouhani promising a new moderate course is the west hopes for

a major shift in the country's nuclear ambitions and its stance on syria's conflict . nine pm in moscow i met trezeguet good to have you with us here on our team as we bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news turkish police in is stand by we'll 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 sealed off after a 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 or even to go as more. but at 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

there lesser numbers but it doesn't mean they're less intense than the were last night when clashes erupted after police decided started going out taksim square and gezi park an hour after prime minister erdogan 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 using taxpayer funded as a part literally bulldozers body and to get rid off 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 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 hearing about this thousands of people marched on

to talk to. people but they were stopped by police on the bosphorus bridge again clashes erupted there again tear gas and water cannons this is remains quite tense at the moment because a lot of people are saying that there is an increasing between the protesters and those people who support the prime minister erdogan and a lot of people believe that he is a matter of fact is the one who is creating that. for a second day in a row turkey's prime minister gathered in our musa borders for a counter-rally this one held a news stand bowl where overnight and you government demonstrators were forcefully dispersed to want to again labeled protesters traitors and accused foreign media of painting an accurate picture of what's happening. world affairs journalist neil clark things prime minister erdogan has taken a combative stance against protesters feeling he would get away with a crackdown thanks to strong western support. one hundred feels emboldened really trapped in a very harsh way against protesters and he's in bold and because he did member of nato and the u.s.

ally and i think it's very interesting to see just how limited the criticism of the don 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 cited the french have been silent and i think the shin bone is to climb down on protesters putting the police putting water cannons that the plastic bullets etc i think go to one field really that there's no room pressure on him to actually negotiate to meet with these protests why should he is thinking 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 the other thing is of course elections are here in turkey for two more years the opposition is divided so he thinks he did a very strong position. syria's civil conflict and soon enter a new phase with washington deciding to arm rebels this week and possibly put in a no fly zone the white house saying the assad regime has crossed

a red line biological using chemical weapons damascus calls the evidence fabricated and moscow expressed skepticism earlier i discussed developments with artie's like say our ships. this week washington can full proof of assad's troops using chemical weapons against the opposition but the timing seems to be rather strange for that the incident in question allegedly happened in december last year but it's been brought up only now when the government troops are winning battle after battle according to the russian foreign minister this makes no sense at all from the military 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 arm 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. but there are certain rules of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which suggest that samples of blood urine clothes and soon 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 board tories are 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 where and 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 iraqi 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 they have been seen that footage is 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 there are no saints here but these claims are not being investigated for some reason. syria also dominated talks between russia's president and the british prime minister in london where they met ahead of the g eight summit

a lot of near putin david cameron addressing the media less than an hour ago artie's polly boyko listening in and she joins us live from london with more so paul you did the two leaders manage to find any common ground at all on the syria issue well they both reiterated matt that they do share common ground and that's that they both want to see a peaceful resolution to the syrian crisis they said that they both believe that a diplomatic negotiations are the only way they're going to see an end to this dreadful conflict in syria now david cameron did admit however that they have very opposing assessments of the situation in syria currently so when asked who was to blame for the quotes this david cameron was unequivocal in saying that he believes that bash our last side is to blame and that he believes that he must go where as letter was written was. said it was unclear and you also said that he thinks both sides have a part to play in the conflict i think we can have

a listen to vladimir putin talking about the syrian rebels right now not. when it comes to selling weapons to our government and who's responsible for the blood including of children i don't think you'll deny that both sides are responsible there's always the question of who's to blame i don't think you'll deny that we shouldn't support people opening up other people's bodies and eating their entrails on camera do you want to support these people do you want them. now david cameron did say that the u.k. continues to support and to train and to provide normally still equipment to the syrian opposition while putin reiterated that russia only provides defensive weapons to the government of bashar al assad and that is a legitimate government it is not breaching any international rules so despite this

common ground both the presidents president and prime minister saying that they want to see a diplomatic solution to the end of this to the end of the syrian crisis we've got very different approaches very different analyses of the situation and of course while david cameron is saying unequivocally that bashar al assad that he must go that sets a tough precondition for any type of peace conference that the world leaders want to organize and will discuss at the g eight summit over the next two days so some tough talking ahead but with such opposing views difficult to tell how they're all going to meet at the negotiating table all right arjun's probably boyko live for us in london thanks very much for that update. still to come for you bloodshed in the house of worship in a couple of minutes details on how one man launched a craze machete attack in a british mosque in green four people also. we

take a look at our recent spike in sectarian violence is undermining hopes for peace in the region at war with itself and more after a short break. good

you take three. three. three. three. three. three braun video for your media project free media r.t. dot com. thanks for staying with us twelve minutes past the hour edward snowden the man who exposed the extent of the u.s. secret global surveillance program or aims at an unknown hong kong location awaiting washington's next expected move against him he willingly revealed his identity after leaking documents showing the u.s. national security agency has been keeping tabs on both americans and foreigners hundreds of people marched outside the u.s. consulate in hong kong to show their support for the whistleblower activist said

they were outraged by the level of spying the obama administration is conducting amounting to tens of thousands of packing operations worldwide are to spring a fortnight it takes over. 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 revealed n.s.a. leaker told that the south china morning post of the us has been hacking chinese and hong kong computers since since zero nine snowden alleges that the us 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 has 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 stored 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 certain 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 signed an online petition calling for an end to washington's 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 r.t. so this fellow whistleblower wiki leaks editor julian assange tells r t the witch hunt against those revealing government wrongdoing scares many into silence maybe sources are quite scared i mean we've seen. colleagues of mine have even stated publicly that their sources are reluctant to talk because it's the crackdown against bradley manning and that's what that whole trial is trying to achieve it's trying to set the precedent for the communicating with the media is the same as communicating with you and that's a death penalty offense. an outrageous president to crack down on the whistle blows has been very public and i think that escape people would be it i mean there's ways to do it without ending up like the way bradley manning is going to go or snowden i

mean most sources reveal information from perfectly fine. watching developments in the story closely a lot on the r.t. dot com for the full timeline of events expert analysis and the latest updates. iranians have voted to replace the outgoing hard line president mahmoud ahmadinejad with a pro reformist moderate hassan rouhani took more than fifty percent of the vote after promising among other things to open dialogue with the west murray if an ocean explains some of the most sensitive issues may be out of his reach. people have taken to the streets of tehran to celebrate their victory all of us on the honeymoon and that is. that's a hard victory has provoked mixed feelings that man iran's leader is known as a reformist and carries the problem many specially in terms of greater freedoms boy

iran and iran still runs diplomatic isolation the country has been under sob sanctions for years now a very expensive version of nuclear program during his campaign rouhani has promised to prepare a civil rights job to restart the economy and your relations with the west he could decide that he's as many times making remarks that cost the country its privileges but at the same time they're on realize what iran is a system works with major power held by the elected supreme leader be the president can do little to change things dramatically. the supreme leader has the final say on big issues like the difference disputed nuclear problem on syria for example send in their lives say that the next president can. time out of iran's dealings

with the outside world moment chief nuclear negotiator prime is nothing more he's been something approach. man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in the u.k. city of birmingham after four people were stabbed at a local mosque the thirty two year old reportedly attacked a worshiper with a machete one policeman also injured trying to arrest the man all victims said to be in stable condition in the hospital journalist assad baby tells us the root of the attacks like this why within britain's policies. we can blame the people that carry out the attacks but also there's a climate of hatred that's been created over the years by politicians in this country and on even the media. for you to take root the physical act the violent act is only the last step before that is the convoy did logical attacks that take place there's a new language of hatred that's become mainstream and i think that the first the government has to acknowledge is that they wars in iraq and afghanistan have

radicalized people i think that's the first issue that they have to accept that foreign policy directive closes i think the other issues about equal opportunities acceptance as to the question of identity so there's so many things that the government can do but unfortunately politicians are unwilling to accept even the first thing which is that foreign policy is a right to close in fact to many young people and until they accept that there won't be any change there are no to some other stories making global headlines activists dressed as giant caricature is of world leaders gathered in belfast ahead of the g eight meeting that starts in northern ireland tomorrow they were trying to raise the issue of poverty by showing the figures preparing a dish using tax and the land as tools of economic repression and protests in london this week anticapitalist said tax job tax dodging by major companies is placing the burden of debt on ordinary people. discontented financial policy also being expressed in spain hundreds of protesters they are marching through madrid

demanding the government do more about staggering unemployment at a rate of twenty seven percent many accuse authorities of pushing the nation towards the poverty line. at least thirty people killed in a spate of bombings and gun assaults targeting shia muslim neighborhoods across iraq this follows a week of sectarian violence between sunni and shias artie's lucy catherine of takes an in-depth look at what's behind the conflicts of more than two thousand 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 field 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 closer to healing the wounds in 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 suffa 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 the rest of my cousins so i gathered my family in the street to flew jets and. the demonstrators complain of discrimination arbitrary arrests detention even torture under the rule of prime minister nouri al maliki charges that the government denies the question was that the government systematically driving sunnis from baghdad this is missing. migrations 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 residence prefers to hide his identity he tells us of the dangerous iraqi shia 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 believe the new system political system or of the sectarian basis like they made the proportions for the sudanese for this then and for the dish and this is very little. those divisions have taken a toll on iraq a generation separated by the threat of violence i know that really affects us and causes a lot of problems between me and my friends especially if they form 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. of r.t.e. baghdad. well the more news online including gold for our t.v. we snatch the award for best twenty four hour news program at the monte carlo television festival online

a look at what coverage attracted the attention of the jury plus. a harsh reality for some young israelis trying to avoid serving in the army is that prison is a better option than picking up a gun more on that on line. and still to come an investigation into the human impact of the financial crisis in the us for half a million californians have been made homeless stay with us. you know when i was in school they would tell us stories about that other goofy economic system in the eastern bloc and about why it was doomed to fail they tell us how terrified communist bureaucrats would work very hard to give the illusion of

a fish and see when their bosses were in town a century out of fear they would try to convince the state that everything was just fine they pronounce a fresh coat of paint on some stuff bump up their numbers in the books and get employees to put a smile on for the cameras so they wouldn't lose their jobs yeah this our teachers told us was a sign of true doomed economics rolling the clock forward twenty or thirty years the bosses of the current global economic system are in town and many locations around the upcoming g eight summit in northern ireland are doing their best to hide their economic downturn from the media according to our t.v. news the government of northern ireland has spent two million pounds dealing with derelict buildings some of these buildings have simply been knocked out but some have been spruced up like butcher shops with images of meat stuck over the windows to hide their barren interiors or the now famous local office supply store which contains no office supplies at all. but it sure does look nice and i guess that's what counts spending two million pounds to hype economic downturn from the g eight and other eyes whether than spending it and actually you know improving the local
