 Police crackdown on protesters picking up again over last several hours in Turkey's biggest city Istanbul, and now spreading to Turkey's capital Ankara, as well. You're looking at Tkism Square in the middle of Istanbul. What bagan late last month as protest against bulldozing a park nearby has evolved into something bigger focused against the government itself at times and the policies of Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan. What you're seeing has &&&& and flowed throughout the evening, police moving in, then regrouping, many protesters leaving, some digging in.

The situation heating up again within the past hour or so as we said, there are now reports unrest on the streets of Ankara. Police in the Turkish capital firing tear gas overnight toward apparent protesters as armored vehicles, cleared makeshift barricades¹ along the streets.

Meantime, the lastest chapter here in Takism Square is still unfolding minute by minute it seems to change, began over this ban of several intense hour tonight when police moved into the square. Some of what you'll see in here the video is about to show you are not gunshots but the protesters setting off small fireworks, and also the sound of tear gas canisters firing. Much of what you'll see in here is chaos² with our correspondents right in the middle of it.

--Those &&& are being shot directly into Gezi Park. There are tens of thousands of demonstrators who were peaceful.Again, We were standing³ right here when something like an altercation⁴ seemed to have broken out.

--We don't what spark these police move, or we did say there were some sort of altercation. They have been seeing that, though, all day. So no specific reason why that itself pulled the trigger such an enormous response by police.

I just let you see there are fireworks going off behind me now. It's unclear they are celebratory or seen earlier today being fired at the police as a part of the protests.

We're seeing gpeole run away now, again, scattering⁵. It's not quite clear why we haven't heard the familiar crack tear gas going. They're moving, there we are. So much danger for the people in this situation would cause that fear of massive panic where people run in a direction for unknown reasons. Here is the banging again.

--Right now in the very front of the park, you can see people try to help us out because of the tear gas. The entire front part of the park right now is being cleared out because of the intensity⁶ of what was just fired in. People are incredibly angry and infuriated at the way the government has been handling all of these. But it's become a bit of routine. Tear gas is fired in, people clear out and then they move right back in.

--Just a couple of, ten seconds ago, a minute, a massive volley of tear gas from the police in that direction. And now, one, two, three, I'm going to put this mask, I'm afraid.

--First of all, explain your vantage point, where you are in a relation to where *** is and what's your, what's happening right now.

--Right behind me, Anderson, just as I started talking. We're seeing fireworks, and we've seen these fired towards police for much of last 19 hours as I've standing here. It seems to be the weapon of choice. Give you a moment to listen to this.

It appears to be the weapon of choice of protest. Now it's a confusing situation down the streets, closest to me. Let me explain, we're talking about the square here, the park, Arwa, when we saw footage earlier was on the far side. I'm on the near side towards me.

Down the left, police earlier this evening made a substantial for, they pushed a lot of armored trucks, water cannons⁸, bulldozers, clearing barricades pushing everybody back.

I can't see the entirety on the road where I'm standing, but in the last half hour protestors seemed to have crept back up that road. That I think is where those firworks were fired from. So it begs the question what is the police strategy here, how do they intend to retain control of the territory and they push forward and take? And we've been asking these question for much of the nights.

Hard to really understand exactly what their final game plan is. Tear gas is now being released in that area, that is the standard tactic⁹ when they see the opposition¹⁰, they fire normal volleies of tear gas cannons, . They drift across the square, often blowing with the prevailing¹¹ winds into our live position here.

I'm hearing the shouts of the protesters right now behind me down that roads. We had thought much of the protest being pushed back. But we saw some of the armored water cannon⁷ trucks moving, in fact firing water cannons into Gezi Park itself.

We just now having seen for about 2 hours pretty much calm in this large parts of Takism Square where the police went about the business, using bulldozers, collecting the debris¹², the barricades, the leftovers¹³ and faring them off. Things appear to be under control to a degree but now we saw those fireworks.
