three. three. three. three volunteers to be over for your media projects a free meal gondar tea dot com. welcome back the second look at the headlines around. peace plan for syria falls into place that's regime troops begin their withdrawal the new western and arab funding for the opposition it's rebels against each other as they compete for more cash. and the solemn period of memorials for the victims of monday's a plane crash in western siberia has become the first day the second. security versus liberty the u.s. congress examines
12:31 am
a new acting tackling cyber terror for freedom activists when it could become a us and score bloodsucking by the state. up next we focus on what a growing number of americans see as a major flaw of u.s. politics the two party system and frank interview about it with jerry white socialist equality party presidential candidate coming right up. in the. arts he's sitting down with jerry white socialist equality party presidential candidate for the upcoming twenty twelve election that's right thank you very much for joining our team today thank you very much but according to a gallup poll a record number of americans now identify themselves as independents that's actually more than those who identify themselves as democrats or republicans what do you think that says about american politics really central question is for years
12:32 am
social opposition has always been channeled back into the democratic party which has presented itself as the people's party right so you had huge protests for example against the iraq war in two thousand and three but then the leadership of those protests quickly put that movement behind first the john kerry campaign then finally the obama campaign. you had the occupy wall street protests an expression initial expression of enormous anger over social inequality the domination of big money over the government the imperviousness of the government to the needs of the population but again the leadership of these movements in one way or another channel that behind the democratic party maybe via the trade unions which. you know the argument being that somehow the democratic party is really a people's party but it has always been a capitalist party it is the second cat party of american capitalism and so it has
12:33 am
functioned primarily to channel social opposition completely behind a cap of this program a bushwalk program workers face governments which are completely controlled by the world bank so it oligarchs of the corporate elites and in every country the working class needs a. political program and our program isn't based just on slogans or media conjuncture the events it's based on an understanding of history and the long struggle by the socialist movement in such figures as leon trotsky is no national solution for american workers or greek workers we're confronting a huge multinational corporations but nowhere in the world does a presidential election receive an garner the type of financial donations that crunch nations as interaction in the united states or u.s.
12:34 am
president barack obama is expected to raise a billion dollars or more for his reelection campaign this year and i'm sure whatever republican up poses him. will have a large amount of money too is there any way in the future it that every predicate presidential candidate runs on the same amount of money by can it be an equal playing field or candidates are actually working to get votes from citizens rather than getting money from citizens and corporations well it's the best government that money can buy in the united states and it's a good it's a government that serves those money moneyed interests i mean the you're correct to say it's one of the most undemocratic ballot access laws for instance even get on the ballot requires tens of thousands of signatures which are then scrutinized by
12:35 am
the democrats and republicans to exclude any independent parties even once you get ballot access as you noted the media generally excludes any oppositional voices so i think that the question of a broadening of a democratic. electoral process is bound up with a political awakening in the political struggle of the working class you can't have genuine democracy when one percent of the population control such vast wealth and carries out policies which is so antithetical to the interests of society as a whole they can't do it democratically they have to use more and more authoritarian methods of repression there is opposition to the war in this country in afghanistan and iraq yet they're preparing for another war are there nations whose leaders in your opinion truly represents the people such and represent what you see. now across the now one nation no not at all in this war on that all so
12:36 am
you're saying there's no democracy there's no genuine jailer see anywhere because genuine democracy is bound up with social equality it means that the most important decisions of a society not simply choosing between two representatives or three representatives of big business but the most important decisions how societies resources allocated peace or war these decisions have to be made by the working population which is the vast majority of the population in every country how would you say u.s. foreign policy could or would change if what americans wanted was represented by the american leader well i mean clearly the american population just as the working people around the world have no interest in slaughtering one another in battles over the interests of huge energy conglomerates and so forth.
12:37 am
we we are fighting to give voice to the sentiments and the needs of the american working class and i don't want to stress that our campaign is not simply an american campaign we are fighting to unify the working class internationally. against the dangers of a new war. the type of crimes that have recently emerged as as in the massacre in afghanistan these aren't simply the issue of stretched out soldiers as as abuse these soldiers are themselves the american soldiers are but it's a very character of these types of wars that are being carried out wars of occupation wars to subjugate entire populations including the recent war in libya which was carried out in the name of human rights it was a war as iraq as afghanistan. the reemergence of
12:38 am
colonialism and imperialism and the working class in america has no interest in that and the working class around the world has no interest in that we see the struggle for genuine peace as the struggle for socialism the struggle for the working class to take economic and political power in its own hands it is almost always a republican and a democratic candidate going to presidential elections in the united states if americans had to choose between are two models of the cars or two types of cereals they would they would like it they would want more choices more variety so why are americans ok with just having this combination of you know two party system well it isn't the choice of americans the ordinary americans that you have a monopoly of two corporate back parties i mean the the it is in the interests of those two corporate back parties to exclude any voices that challenge the political
12:39 am
monopoly of the financial elite opus society. no none of the major decisions that affect the lives of millions of people are ever put before me for the population no one asked the american people whether or not an invasion of iraq in two thousand and. we should go ahead no one asked the american people in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine should trillions of dollars be handed out to the reckless financier's on wall street that destroyed the economy if they were asked they would clearly say no that money should go to schools should go to jobs and she go to health care the basic needs of the population so the political monopoly that exists isn't because of there is a a a general consensus in the population for that it is it is if it is a monopoly against genuine democracy against genuine democracy and serious amy america's leaders don't represent the people and if they think they are going to
12:40 am
get votes they can't say that they don't get what i mean the decay of american democracy is going on you know consistently for decades and decades yet the stolen election of two thousand and in two thousand you had the explain the events of two thousand and one nine eleven which we utilize to more and more attack the most basic democratic rights are you now have a president obama who is the clarion that he has the right to assassinate u.s. citizens anywhere in the world without genuine due process the millions voted for obama for example in two thousand and eight because they wanted an end to what bush represented and obama has gone even further in the tax on wages and living standards and social programs than the republicans ever did many critics believe that this so-called american style or out of political theater is replicated in
12:41 am
many other democratic countries like france for example do you agree with that of course it's a crying shame you know the degradation of of politics is being brought to everything is to do with celebrity everything you do is slogans and appealing certainly not. to to reason and through reasoned argument but the crassest appeals and so on but that's also an indication of how distant the french government is from the masses of working of working people you know you have this tragedy and to lose the other day and of of course that was it was an incredible crime but however the french government saying gaijin worse it's banning birth the burka it's using anti immigrant and anti arab chauvinism in france these horrible tragedies are an inevitability under those conditions and what is politics in every part of the world blaming immigrants for the problems of unemployment while the
12:42 am
political figures hand over trillions to the banks they blame immigrants for unemployment or for taking slots in school so everywhere bush will politics is is is a decaying to such crass appeals you know you contrast that for instance and in the period where american political life there in the american revolution or lincoln when he came to cooper union here in new york before engaging in his election campaign they actually spoke in an intelligent fashion they made arguments they explained with what slavery ruckus they explained the incapacity of society moving forward on such a basis they made in the peel to reason to deep democratic small d democratic sentiments in the population what can what can obama do except claim to the population that i feel your pain i'm really on your side while he's getting busy you know millions of dollars from wall street so course the level of politician
12:43 am
politics is so degrading but these are deep social forces the breakdown of capitalism around the world the incredible levels of social inequality imperviousness of the political establishment is giving. rise to the emergence of a powerful movement of the working class kerry invites us socialist equality party presidential candidate thank you very much for some time thoughts and shares very much. from the. filmmaker. and since the. director's cut over the line this insistence on targeting.

a bad thing move him last night or as a sidebar slow stormed into the champions league semifinals we've got reaction from our team all coming up. hello to you watching the sport here are not see these are the headlines you know most rush scarse six one to reach the current cup finals for the very first time. barcelona boss ac milan three one to reach the champions league semi's along with german giants paul ryan. i'm fighting top russian cruiserweight champion. in the first depends of his injury and be a. first on one last go have reached the good darren cup final date skaar six one last night to complete a series whitewash against the simply side in the scene scoring a trick in
12:47 am
a tie there's still the muscovites lead by neil would have a hearty game to play is the very first time. to be going to cup finals and they will play to win out of the others between tracks or not on god they were true enough in that series and played a fourth game tonight but if you were to now my face the blue line snow it will be tough. because think you're bored a game yesterday of all just a little tree not three not things first birds it's a smart sort of six warmest a certain number of the birds for everybody so like most of our gamers but still it's for marketing. for games thirty two are important. football you know messi is incredible season continues he scored two first half penalties of barcelona and their three one win over a single land to put the catalans in the semifinals of the champions league i'm allowed how he qualifies through unfairly in a city and the italians did feel hard done by after a second penalty was controversially awarded by nestor paul scheer that allowed
12:48 am
messi to score is fifty first champions league goal before any estimated three one blind joint passed in the semi's after a four nil aggregate win over marsay and afterwards asked the manager to head guardiola said his side were worthy of a last four spot. and in the final they were penalties it happened to us during the first leg on t.v. they look like him since i can see little else about it when a player catches you in the penalty and the referee blows the whistle that's it and sometimes they don't but when a player is holding the shirt of an element in the area then he must be sanctioned well barcelona will play the winner of tonight's quarter final between chelsea and ben fico chelsea with a narrow one an advantage from the first leg of their manager reported in a tale isn't counting the streak is ahead of the game at stamford bridge. the i mean this ties far from over there they have scored in every way goal in this chair of the. season so we know our day it's
12:49 am
a difficult task ahead for us tomorrow night and we have to approach this game like . they're not really good so it means benfica to win if they want to reach their first european cup semifinal for more than twenty years a tough task for the portuguese side i've only lost once on the road during this champions league campaign and say they are prepared to take the game to chelsea. it's still on for two years of course there we're going to watch and we're going to have proved this game by being found. we need to play as a team we need to score to progress there. well i can say we're going to play an offensive game and taking game and i'm sure we can take the game to chelsea. was that using the balance only a disaster could prevent him from playing by in the last poll me to sunny's face after well it's been a bad after beating him cranio in cyprus in the first leg
12:50 am
a reality. isn't planning to take his foot off the pedal. this is a champion's match we had a very good result and not everybody can expect to win zero here at bernabeu but football is football we have to respect football but we have to respect our fans who want a good game so i'm going to make a very few changes we're going to play with a really strong gene pool. that brings us to boxing where the richest hours left before a great fight will take place in moscow with the main event seeing russia's top cruiserweight dennis levitt f coming out for his first ever u.p.a. interim title defense against shaun cog's for wednesday's show in the russian capital they supported by a true constellation of faulty stars including one time grateful against you yet terrible of the sport their actions in the meantime live it as opponents will cough and after making the headlines the thirty seven year old record of sixteen wins out of seventeen banks speaks for itself although the barbados native is still

trying to put myself in contention to try and win another news russia's restlessness seen as some of the country's main medal hopes for the olympics this summer but exactly who will be sent to london to compete for gold still being decided although the recent freestyle domestic championships in moscow went some way to deciding who will make it as art and record against that reports. this year russia's freestyle wrestling championship held a special importance the results of this competition along with other major events will provide the basis for team russia to select the countries called for this summer's olympic games in london and this by the third trash it still hasn't got a limp it licenses into weight to greece out of the four because confidence the situation is going to change before too long. i don't think there is a real threat there we won't have our athletes in any weight divisions moral we're in london we're going to fight for the silverware in all possible categories almost
