Under Erdogan’s leadership, Turkey has boosted economic growth and raised its international profile. But he has been a divisive figure at home, with his government recently passing legislation curbing the sale of alcohol and taking a strong stand against the Syrian regime that some believe has put security at risk. The demonstrations were ignited by a violent police crackdown on a peaceful sit-in to prevent the uprooting of trees at Taksim Square and have since spread around the country. More skirmishes broke out in the capital, Ankara, on Sunday, with police unleashing tear gas at several thousand protesters who tried to march toward Erdogan’s office from the city’s main square. A group of youths formed a barricade and hurled fire bombs or threw back gas canisters at police. An Associated Press reporter saw at least eight injured people being carried away, and police appeared to directly target journalists with tear gas. In Taksim, dozens of people climbed on the roof of a cultural center that Erdogan says will be demolished and turned into an opera hall. A banner reading “Don’t yield” was hung from the building. “If they call someone who has served the people a ‘dictator,’ I have nothing to say,” Erdogan said in an address to a group representing migrants from the Balkans. “My only concern has been to serve my country.” In another speech delivered an hour later, Erdogan said: “I am not the master of the people. Dictatorship does not run in my blood or in my character. I am the servant of the people.” Police and protesters also clashed violently on Friday and Saturday, leaving hundreds injured. Clouds of tear gas overwhelmed Istanbul’s normally touristy city center. Interior Minister Muammer Guler said some 1,750 people had been detained since May 28, but most had since been released. Erdogan called the protests “ideological” and manipulated by an opposition “unable to beat (the government) at the ballot box.” He said 89 police vehicles, 42 private cars, four buses and 94 businesses were destroyed by the “vandalism” of the past two days. Alluding to his party’s strong base, Erdogan said he had the power to summon much larger numbers of his supporters at rallies. “Our supporters are calling and saying `are we going to stay silent?’ but I am urging calm,” he said in an interview with Haberturk television. Erdogan reiterated that his government would not back away from plans to uproot trees at Taksim as part of his urban renovation plans for the area. In a statement that could cause more controversy, he also declared that a mosque would be built at Taksim. The mosque plans have long been contentious because it would further shrink the green spaces in Istanbul’s city center. Some argue that there are already plenty of mosques around Taksim. “I am not going to seek the permission of the (the opposition) or a handful of looters,” Erdogan said. Erdogan also defended his government’s environmental record, saying it had planted two billion trees and built 160 parks since coming to office in 2002. In Berlin meanwhile, about 500 people staged a peaceful solidarity protest outside the Turkish Embassy. “The people are finally standing up, speaking up and fighting for their rights,” said Hakan Tas, a deputy for the Left Party in Berlin’s local assembly, who took part in the protest.

Magician Penn Jillette was fired after his team, which also included Clay Aiken, Dayana Mendoza and Lisa Lampanelli, lost the Success cologne challenge. The mild-mannered Jillette left with equanimity, telling the camera as his car sped into the New York night that he enjoyed his time on the show, even this last episode. Echoing what probably must be on viewers’ minds as well, Jillette questioned the unpredictability of Trump’s firings and the reasons he gives for wielding the ax. This time, Trump said, the judges – marketing execs from Macys and the Trump organization – disliked the slogan, saying “You earned it” seemed smug. Since Jillette had come up with it, he was fired. Did he deserve to be fired? Possibly, but he never really pressed his real defense: He also came up with the asset the judges liked best – a photo of an amorous Mendoza nuzzling the chest of a well-toned male model, seen only from the neck down wearing a shirt and tie from the Trump collection. Then again, as Aiken pointed out early in the episode, Jillette had demurred on leading the project and then showed with his ideas that he could have done so quite competently. Aiken, for his part, avoided the mistake that got Paul Teutel Sr., fired last week. When Trump said the judges didn’t like the slogan, he brought its creator back to the boardroom. But his other choice reflected, not what was done or not done in this particular task, but on a long-range view of who would be best to continue on in the competition. He took the weaker player, Mendoza, to the boardroom with him and let the stronger contestant, Lampanelli, join the winning team in the suite upstairs. But, judging from what viewers saw, the usually creative and strong-willed Lampanelli did relatively little on this task. Should she have been taken to the boardroom instead?. This clearly was not the time to fire Mendoza. Her efforts with the photo won praise from the judges and she even suggested that they create take-aways for the display, something Aiken nixed for lack of time. We’re just guessing here, but had the other team (consisting of Aubrey O’Day, Teresa Giudice and Arsenio Hall) lost the challenge, there would have been fireworks in the boardroom. ‘Day’s egotism and carping about how she was carrying the entire load alone did little to endear to the judges, her teammates and the Trumps. And Hall, who came up with the slogan, had murder in his eyes when O’Day took credit for it. The slogan – “Always trust your instincts” – was something Trump himself had said and that Hall had discovered by doing research on the computer. Instead of giving the winners time to vent, Trump sidestepped their disagreements and he sent them upstairs to celebrate. And everyone yet again pretended to get along.
