clashes in Istanbul, hundreds of police enter the city's Taksim | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
Square, occupied by protesters for more than a week. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
State media in serious a 14 people have been killed by two bombs in the | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
centre of the capital, Damascus. The battle in the skies as the | :00:29. | :00:33. | |

Three Chinese astronauts have just taken off on their longest ever | :00:36. | :00:46. | |

police have forced their way into Taksim Square in Istanbul. They used | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
tear gas and water cannon to try to clear the area, which has been the | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
focus of protests against the government. It has been occupied for | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
more than a week now. These are live shots from Taksim Square. You can | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
see a number of protesters on the street. We have seen many of them | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
being hit by tear gas and water cannon in the last few minutes and | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
hours. The authorities have said that the initial protest in Gezi | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Park will be allowed to remain, but as the protest has spread through | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
the square, the authorities say they are determined to clear them. Some | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
tear gas is again being fired, protesters are running back from | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
that smoke that is very difficult to cope with. We can get the latest | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
from our reporter, Dan Johnson. Police this morning moved into | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Istanbul's Taksim Square. It was a show of force, using tear gas and | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
rubber bullets, and came as a surprise. The organisers of the | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
protests were due to hold talks with the prime minister tomorrow. Police | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
said the intention was only to remove signs and barricades from the | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
square, not to break up the protests. Many of those who have | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
been camped here for 11 days now did not believe it, they fought Aqua | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
with fireworks, petrol bombs and stones. We can still hear tear gas | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
being fired. 20 minutes ago some people were injured in this area and | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
carried to an ambulance. At least one person with a head shot wound, | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
taken away by the ambulance. Lots of people being affected by the tear | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
gas. Officers reclaim parts of the square they had been forced to pull | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
back from ten days ago, but stopped short of entering Gezi Park. Bands | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
to redevelop that space prompted these protests but they have grown | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
to be about much more -- plans to redevelop. There were disturbances | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
in Ankara, three people have died since protests began and more than | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
5000 have been injured or treated for the effects of tear gas. It is | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
not clear yet what impact this advance by the police will have on | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
tomorrow's planned talks. Prime Minister Erdogan used a televised | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
statement to Parliament to call for protesters to leave busy park. His | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
deputy has said it legal protests will no longer be tolerated, but for | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
now the stand-off goes on -- to leave Gezi Park. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
40 people have been killed by two car bombs in the centre of the | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Syrian capital, Damascus, according to state media. At least 41 people | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
are reported to have been injured in explosions in the commercial | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
district. A bombing in the same square in April left 13 people dead. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
My colleague in Beirut gave more details. At the beginning the state | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
media said this was just bombs in bags put near the shop in that busy | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
square in the middle of town. They later said it was two suicide | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
bombers who exploded themselves among the crowds in that square, | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
which is always a busy place. Now they are saying the casualties | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
figures, 14 killed, 31 wounded, according to the officials. That may | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
change later. TV has been carrying pictures showing not massive damage, | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
not the kind of damage after really big explosions but the kind of | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
damage, superficial relatively, two shopfronts, glass broken, debris | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
scattered, some cars damaged and blood on the pavement. Some reports | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
indicate that one of the bombers managed to get into a police station | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
near where the bombs went off, and so it is possible, but not being | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
reported officially, that there are policemen among the casualties. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Let's take you back to Turkey and this is the live shot in Taksim | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
Square. Mark Lowen is there in Istanbul. Tell us what has been | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
happening. I just went down to the square to see what was happening. | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
While we were speaking to a protester, the water cannon and tear | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
gas arrived back on this square to disperse protesters. If I look to my | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
left, it is a big cloud of tear gas against them I am beginning to feel | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
it again in my throat, I will keep the gas mask close to me, I may have | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
to try to talk through it. You can see the cloud of tear gas beginning | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
to rise. That is a water cannon lorry as well from the police. You | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
can hear the odd bang as projectiles are thrown at riot police. If we | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
plan to the other side, two more water cannon trucks, ready to spew | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
water across the square. Riot police stationed in the central part. It | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
had seemed calm since this morning, when the clashes were serious, but | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
they seem to be back in action again. One chap is throwing | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
projectiles at the riot police. This is very much the marginal element of | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
the protest movement, this violent, hard-core element. This does not | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
represent what we have seen in Istanbul for about ten days, 12 days | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
since the unrest began, which is largely peaceful protests. Young | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
people who have been occupying the park. They have been tweeting that | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
they are against hard-core protesters who they believe are | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
provoking the police, many believe that some of them are the | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
authorities in disguise. They say this hard-core fringe does not | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
represent a largely peaceful protest movement. Do you know who are in | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
this hard-core fringe? It is always difficult to say. I am usually based | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
in Athens. I have seen this countless times. You have very large | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
demonstrations in Athens. Then there is a fringe of violent protesters | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
who take to projectiles and petrol bombs against the police. Some are | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
anarchists, some are there to stir up emotion, who has long harboured | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
anger against the authorities. It is simply very difficult to tell. The | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan against two these protests are | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
largely focused, has been speaking again -- against whom. He says it is | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
part of an international conspiracy against Turkey, he has criticised | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
the foreign media for launching attacks against the Turkish state. | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
He says it is an attempt to try to manipulate the Turkish economy. You | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
have a sense of paranoia building around the inner circle of the prime | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
Minister. This is very heavy-handed prime minute -- heavy-handed police | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
action, a day before the prime Minister was supposed to have talks | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
with some of the protest leaders. That was seen as an olive branch, | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
but given what has happened today, those talks planned for tomorrow may | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
be thrown into jeopardy. You say it is paranoia but is it at all | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
possible that you have outside influence or agitation in what is | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
:08:48. | :08:50. | ||
going on in Turkey right now? very difficult to say. The country | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
is on the Fault line of the Middle East but Turkey has been seen as a | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
kind of peacemaker in the middle east, an ally of Israel and other | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
Middle Eastern powers. What he means when he says it has been agitated by | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
international powers is difficult to say, because by Minister Erdogan has | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
been warmly welcomed on the international stage -- Prime | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Minister Erdogan has been. He has been seen as a peacemaker in the | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
Balkans, an important ally on both sides of the Middle East conflict. | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
Difficult to see who would be plotting against Turkey. He has | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
launched attacks on the foreign media, we have tried our best to | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
portray the most balanced, impartial view of what is going on. It is | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
difficult to know what he means by that. I am watching a police truck | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
sweeping through, trying to clear up some of the barricades. More of the | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
water cannon is being sprayed. At the other side of the square, a | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
heavy jet of pink spray is coming from my waterjet, -- from a | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
waterjet, it has taken a few people down. The riot police said they were | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
not going to enter the park which joins the square, the development of | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
which about these protests ten days ago. A lot of the protesters are | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
:10:27. | :10:33. | ||
massing in the Park. More water cannon and tear gas fired? Yes, more | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
tear gas and probably stun grenades. I can see a petrol bomb | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
being thrown from the protests against the police and I can see a | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
water cannon on the far side of the square. The confrontation is really | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
going on and the worst clashes for over a week looked like they are | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
:11:05. | :11:05. | ||
building. We will leave it there for now, back to you soon I am sure. | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
Air traffic controllers in France have began a three-day strike. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Widespread travel disruption is expected across Europe, with | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
colleagues in other countries joining the industrial action on | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Wednesday. They are striking over plans by the European Union to | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
centralise control of Europe's airspace. What will this mean if you | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
are trying to fly this week? It will not be a good day to fly to France, | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
that is the shore. We are hearing from the civil aviation authority | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
that 1800 flights have been cancelled today. Some of the biggest | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
carriers, easyJet for instance, 128 flights cancelled, Ryanair, 102 | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
flights cancelled, Lufthansa, 125. We are not seeing chaotic scenes at | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
the airport, they have put a lot of plans in place for these three days | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
of strikes and it seems to be working at the moment, things are | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
running pretty smoothly, albeit a lot of disruption to the people who | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
are trying to move around France and probably elsewhere in Europe later | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
in the week. This is about trying to bring together control of the | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
airspace to make it more efficient? Yes, it is called the European sky | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
project and the European commission will set out its plans today. It | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
believes it can deliver greater efficiencies by amalgamating | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
air-traffic systems that are managed by each member state. Whereas you | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
have the air-traffic controllers in France looking after the airspace | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
above France, they will amalgamate it into nine functional airspace | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
locks. -- blocks. They believe they will be able to move traffic more | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
easily around Europe, cutting pollution and costs for the | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
consumer. The roots will be managed by a central authority so much | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
easier to coordinate where the roots go across European airspace. The | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
main union looking after the air-traffic controllers in France | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
believe it is an attack on national sovereignty, believes it is less | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
safe and working hours and pay will be affected. You will see strikes | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
not only in France but ten other countries joining the demonstrations | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
tomorrow, so lots of disruption across the European Union. | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
Stay with us on BBC World News. Still to come: Up, up and away. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
Three Chinese astronauts take off from the Gobi desert for a 15 day | :13:38. | :13:47. | |
space mission. Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
British actor playing an all-American superhero? For the | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
first time, the role of Superman is lay -- being played by a | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
non-American. Henry Cavill stars in a new film that premiered in New | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
York just a few hours ago. The world premiere of Man Of Steel, | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
one of the most eagerly awaited films of blockbusters season. It is | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
a reboot of a very lucrative Hollywood franchise, complete with a | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
British actor playing the iconic American superhero. If the world | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
found out who I was, it would reject me. What do you think? Henry Cavill | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
is is not -- is not exactly a household name. I think if you start | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
worrying, it will have a negative effect. I try to live by the motto, | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
don't worry about failure because failure will take care of itself, | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
just focus on success. Man Of Steel is an origin story. Superman arrives | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
as an alien from a dying planet who is adopted by an all-American | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
couple. He is torn between his origins and his new home on earth. | :15:00. | :15:09. | |
He has questions. Who am I and why am I? Then there is the question of | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
these my people or not? Henry Cavill's acting colleagues, | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
including Kevin Costner, are confident has the talent to make | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
this movie fly. The movie doesn't work without him and he was | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
incredible. Henry Cavill is the face of a Superman movie that is a | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
gigantic promotional machine foot of it has cost more than $200 million | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
to make and has already recouped much through the basement deals | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
worth an estimated $170 million. Is it to keep the advertisers happy? | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
They never said, put this into a scene. It was all after-the-fact. | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
They said if certain people want to be involved, here is the story, we | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
are not changing it. Warner Brothers have embargoed reviews until the day | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
of release on Friday, heaping reviews under wraps until the last | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
minute often means the studio doesn't expect critics to like it. | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
But Man Of Steel is the latest instalment of a latest -- of a very | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
popular franchise so it is probably critic proof and should do well at | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:25. | ||
the box office. This is BBC World News. The latest headlines: Hundreds | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
of Turkish riot police had moved into Taksim Square, firing tear gas | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
and water cannon into the heart of the anti-government protests | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
spreading across the country over the last 12 days. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |

Pictures of babies on milk formalin packs are expected to be banned | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
later by the European Parliament. A vote could put a stop to any type of | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
label that idealises bottled formalist, making them seem | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
preferable to breast-feeding. -- bottle formulas. Feeding time, | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
and somebody is hungry. George is on what all the milk. Formalin milk for | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
newborns is already strictly regulated. Now, new Europe-wide | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
rules aim to tighten up the law for follow-on milk formulas as well, | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
which are aimed at six to 12-month-olds. The EU was to make | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
sure that mums are not discouraged from breast-feeding, recommended as | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
the best way to feed a growing child. Today, MEPs will vote on | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
whether to ban pictures of infants from packets or tens of follow-on | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
formula, and pictures or text which idealised it over breastmilk. | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
Officials argue some woman may start to use follow-on formula milk | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
earlier than they should. They say they are taking action because they | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
want to see breast-feeding rates go up. George is happy enough. | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
Campaigners, though, argue that most young children do not need formula | :17:59. | :18:04. | |

customers. The man who leaked details of a | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
surveillance programme in the United States has disappeared in Hong Kong. | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
Edward Snowden was a contract worker for the CIA. He has not been seen | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
since he checked out of his hotel on Monday. If he returns to the US, he | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
faces decades in jail. At the moment, nobody knows if he | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
will leave the territory. After the revelations, a journalist -- | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
journalists have been scouring the world, trying to find out where he | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
could be. There was a staff member at the hotel who mentioned there was | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
a person by the name of Edward Snowden who had checked in and out, | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
but it is not clear whether that is him. Hong Kong is a place where | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
Westerners can come without visas. For Mr Snowden, as an American | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
committee could come for 90 days on a social pass without a Visa. He is | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
free to come and go. The American authorities had not asked for an | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
extradition. They have not asked Hong Kong authorities to help out. | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
The Hong Kong government says they are not going to comment on specific | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
cases, but if there are requests, they will follow to the letter of | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
the law in any of these cases. formal information. Anything from | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
the Guardian newspaper that was running the interview with him? Are | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
suitably they are involved in shielding him or have been involved | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
in shielding him up. -- presumably. Certainly that is an avenue people | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
are pursuing. At the moment it seems Mr Snowden is intending on keeping | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
private. He had told the Guardian journalist that the ad hidden at | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
this upmarket hotel for some weeks, only coming out eight few times. | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
Hong Kong is a place where he decided to come because he said | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
there is a freedom of press and in fact in news headlines today, it | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
says that the former CIA worker is hiding in Hong Kong to save his | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
life. They have highlighted that he chose Hong Kong because there is | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
freedom of speech, unlike mainland China. His choice of Chinese | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
territory is baffling because it has an exhibition treaty with the US. In | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
the past they have been very cooperative. There are senior | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
politicians here who are urging Mr Snowden, if he is still in Hong | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Kong, to leave the territory should the Americans then ask for an | :20:58. | :21:06. | |
extradition. China 's latest manned spacecraft | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
has blasted off into orbit. The ONE lifted off on schedule from its | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
launch centre in the Gobi desert. It is carrying three astronauts, | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
including china 's second female astronaut. Our science | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
correspondent, Jonathan Amos, says it is a big learning curve for the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Chinese. They have got a 15 day mission in | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
prospect. We saw Wang Yaping waving there. She was in the left-hand seat | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
as they went off. It was a nice, clean getaway. It is a nine minute | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
ride to the initial orbit. The boot is will then come away and the main | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
part will separate. That will lift them to a height of a couple of | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
hundred kilometres above the Earth. Over the course of the next 40 hours | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
or so, they will have to raise that orbit up to around 335 kilometres. | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
That will bring them to watch the space laboratory they launched a | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
couple of years ago. It is a single module. It is aid demonstration of | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
the space station that they hope to build at the end of this decade. A | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
much bigger construction, this will have three or four modules, all | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
interlocked. It will be serviced by robotic vehicles, just as we have | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
seen with the International space Station. It is a learning curve for | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
the Chinese here. They have to understand how to do this. These are | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
things the Russians, Europeans, Japanese, Americans have learned how | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
to do. The Chinese are in the process of catch up here. They have | :22:48. | :22:57. | |
to run fast to catch up. We are just going to take you now to | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
the latest pictures from Istanbul. We are getting reports, and as you | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
can see those are the protesters, we get reports that police are going | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
into Gezi Park itself. You might be able to see, in the top right-hand | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
corner of the picture, lots of men in black uniform. Those are the | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
police. The Prime Minister, speaking to Parliament, has said he has no | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
more tolerance for these mass anti-government demonstrations that | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
have engulfed the country. He says this episode is now over. We will | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
not show any more tolerance. If he is indeed sending his police into | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
Gezi Park, and not just clearing the square, it could be seen as a | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
significant move. Gezi Park is the original starting point of those | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
peaceful demonstrations, which were an environmental protest. They have | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
been joined by hundreds of protesters with much wider political | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
demands. We have seen, in the last few hours, riot police forcing their | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
way into the main square there in Istanbul using tear gas to try to | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
clear the area. It has been occupied now for 12 days. There have of | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
course been protests around the country, not only in Istanbul but in | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
Ankara and many other cities. Just to give you a flavour of what the | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
Prime Minister has been saying today, in the last couple of hours, | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
he says, we are against sectarianism, we act at all shades | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
of opinion, but the media, including social media, have incited violence. | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
The prime minister also said, some of our opponents are behind inciting | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
the protest is to engage in destruction. We have seen | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
eyewitnesses and journalists saying there have been groups of protesters | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
here, the more peaceful ones on one side, and inside Gezi Park itself, | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
and on the other side, more radical elements, perhaps troublemakers. No | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
clear picture of exactly who they are. Some tweets from some of the | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
most peaceful protesters have been saying this has been hijacked, to a | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
degree. The Prime Minister is using the images to try to show a strong | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
government image. He is saying today that the protests are harming the | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
Turkish economy and harming Turkey 's image abroad. What you are | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
looking at here are live pictures from Taksim Square, with Gezi Park | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
protesters there. The Prime Minister is due to be meeting the protest is | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
tomorrow. Not clear now whether the move, a decisive move by the | :25:55. | :26:03. | |
government to go in clearly and clear the area, whether that is now | :26:03. | :26:11. | |
going to change the picture fundamentally. People across Turkey | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
are watching this strong/of force by the government. -- this strong show | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
:26:26. | :26:28. | ||
of force. Still, although things became quieter in the square, we | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
have seen a game big numbers of people returning to the centre to | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
make their point. The Prime Minister is saying he will not change. He | :26:40. | :26:48. | |
calls an illegitimate protests. I will not let -- bow before the | :26:48. | :26:52. |
