Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in trouble with tens of thousands demonstrating in the capital Istanbul demanding his resignation while reports said that there were demonstrations in about 70 other towns last week. By midweek three people were reported killed, 4000 injured and 900 arrested.

Fifty journalists are in jail.
