Protests in Turkey Turn Violent

Protesters in Turkey’s capital Ankara clashed with riot police on Monday. Police there responded with tear gas and water cannons.

This was the fourth day in a row that protesters have vented their frustration against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

They accuse him of running an increasingly authoritarian government.

Anchor Marco Werman speaks with journalist Dalia Mortada about the daily protests.
