it's a similar picture if not ,orse in parts of the capital ankara, where earlier in the day, the big clashes between police and protesters and we are hearing casualties and many arrests. not necessarily representative of the overall picture throughout the country, ,ut these clashes all relate it would seem, to protesters near public buildings. the interior ministry has made it clear they will not interfere with demonstrations. we are seeing that now in the sense that we are not seeing any police at all, no tear gas. we have not had tear gas now for more than 24 hours. these violent protests have a path of their own. no one knows how this will pay -- how this will play out for the rest of the night. i thank you. speak to a freelance writer based in is temple. thank you for joining us. what started as a peaceful protest has taken on a life of its own. whatis at the core of these protesters want from the government? thank you for having me. doozy started because of park. people have been there since may , they satotested down, they made an occupation there. three days later, police star

this crossroads in the center of ankara was filled with protesters just a few minutes before it might be hard to believe it now is totally empty you can see one of the police vehicles up there still using its water cannon against the remaining few protesters the police charged in here with two vehicles firing tear gas everyone in the square choking on having to dive for cover and water cannon blasting everything around they've left branches hanging off trees and debris and water all over the streets protesters who had been gathered to try and demonstrate their anger at having to scatter into side streets all around here very shocked by the sudden on rush of these police vehicles in this particular spot has marked nightly confrontations between police and protesters some might say some onlookers might say really proving what protesters might be saying that the police really over reacting to some of the protests here it's not quite known what exactly that set off the police the protesters absolutely saying it's this kind of pretty police response that has them out on the streets protest

judging from what has happened in the past three weeks and in the past few days that i've seen here in ankara the police tactics. that they use. have been to charge crowds with water cannon which has happened in tacks in square and has been happening night after night here in the capital where protests have also been ongoing and also take gas a lot of criticism at the beginning of this that the police fired far too much take us into into the crowds i interviewed one young man the other day who was hit in the fêtes by a tear gas grenade breaking his nose and and shooting wouldn't splint is into his eye from a nearby a wooden board that's just one example just last night when i was reporting from a street a police force a cannon drove up behind me as i was speaking into the camera and shot me in the back with a water cannon so a lot of this feeding into the accusations protests is that police are trigger happy gung ho and far too brutal in their crackdowns there have been dozens of buses burnt have has been damage to shops as well and a lot of that pinned on certain groups within the protesters

of protests regarding the any movement in ankara over night. absolutely younker i actually have seen the largest number of crackdowns than any other city in turkey for the past few weeks whereas the goal was rather relative the peaceful and carl has been suffering quite severely from the police crackdowns you have to understand that people there have been coming out on the streets every single night police kept dispersing them and of course the wednesday was kind of the repetition of what happened before when several people have diverged from a group. and weird off towards the u.s. embassy where police have used tear gas and rubber bullets against them to kind of squash the momentum of the protests that has been happening in and obviously this is the capital that's where the seat of the government is so does look like this is the main cause for the police brutality that we're seeing there that has been happening where is the regard in regards to other places well of course there have been numerous protests and they were accompanied by arrest yo
