Shopkeepers in central Istanbul are feeling the pinch as continuing riots in the city's Taksim Square are scaring off tourists. The vendors are hoping that the government will soon reach an agreement with the protesters so that things will return to normal. The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is holding talks with a group representing anti-government protestors in the capital Ankara. Erdogan has rejected accusations that his management style is increasingly repressive. Al Jazeera's Jamal Elshayyal reports from Istanbul, where protestors remain camped out in Taksim Square.
