swung it could become a license while talking about the state. but next we focus on what a growing number of americans see is a major flaw of u.s. politics and two party system a frank interview that won the battle for gerry white's socialist equality party presidential term that's coming right. party sitting down with jerry white socialist equality party presidential candidate for the upcoming two thousand and twelve election mr right thank you very much for joining our team today thank you very much well 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. as for

years social opposition has always been channeled back into the democratic party which is 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 have the occupy wall street protests and it's pression 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

functioned primarily to channel social opposition completely behind a couple this program of bush was a program workers face governments which are completely controlled by the world banks or the oligarchs or the corporate elites and in every country the working class needs a political program and our program isn't based just on slogans or immediate conjuncture a live event it's based on an understanding of history in the long struggle by the socialist movement and such figures as leon trotsky is no national solution for american workers of greek workers we're confronting a huge multinational corporations but no where in the world does a presidential election receive an garner the type of financial donations that crutch missions as not. actually in the united states. u.s.

president barack obama is expected to raise a billion dollars or more for his reelection campaign this year and i'm sure whatever republican opposes him. will have a large amount of money too is there any way in the future that every predicate presidential candidate runs on the same amount of money i can it be an equal playing field or candidates are actually working to get votes from citizens rather than getting money from citizens from 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 money didn't trysts 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 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 the 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 preparing for another war are there nations whose leaders in your opinion truly represents the people such and or represent what you see. now across that one nation no not at all in this war none are on at all so

you're saying there's no democracy there's no genuine j.r.c. 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 represent is the 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 says 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.

we we are fighting to give voice to the sentiments and the needs of the american working class and i 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 the very character of these types of wars that are being carried a 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

colonialism of 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. presidential elections in the united states if americans had to choose between you know two models of 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 your two party system well it isn't the choice of americans the ordinary americans that you have a monopoly of two corporate backed parties mean that the it is in the interests of those two corporate back parties to exclude any voices that challenge the political

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 three. 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 it should 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 human markets and so you're saying the america's leaders don't represent the people and if it helps think they are going

to get votes i can't say that they don't get what i mean the decay of american democracy has been going on you know consistently for decades and decades yet the stolen election of two thousand and 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 you now have a president obama was declaring 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 of political theater is located and many other

democratic countries like france for example that course it's a crying shame and you know the degradation of of politics is being brought it everything is to do with celebrity everything you do is slogans and appealing certainly not. two 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 but 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's engaged in wars it's banning birth the burka it's using anti immigrant in anti arab chauvinism in france these horrible tragedies are an inevitability into those conditions and what is politics in every part of the world blaming immigrants for the problems of unemployment while the

political figures hand over trillions to the banks they blame immigrants for unemployment or for taking slots in school so everywhere bush what politics is is is a decaying to such crass appeals you know you contrast that for instance in the 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 explain with what slavery ruckus they explained the incapacity of society moving forward on such a basis they made an appeal to reason to deep democratic small of the 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 mitt things that the dollars from wall street so of course the level of

politician politics is so degraded but these are deep social forces the breakdown of capitalism around the world being credible levels of social inequality imperviousness of the political establishment is giving. rise to the emergence of a powerful movement of the working class cherry bites us socialist equality party presidential candidate thank you very much for some comfort and cheers very much. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . used to get the maximum political impact. before source material is what helps keep journalism honest we.

we want to present. something of. wealthy british style and some time to. look. at the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in these kinds of reports on our.

peace plan for syria falls into place as regime troops begin their withdrawal with new western and arab funding for the opposition gets rebels against each other as they compete for more. three day period of mourning for the victims of monday's plane crash in western siberia has become the first funerals to be held today. security versus liberty u.s. congress examines a new act and tackling some of the terror with freedom activists we could become advice and support wiretapping but this. time now for sports update roger is here

for us. hello there thanks for watching the sport good to have you company and here's a taste of what is coming up. you know my prashar six one to reach the garden cup final for the very first time. while past a seam around three one to reach the champions league semi's along with german giants pine. and rising to old russian cruiserweight champion prepares for the first offense of his w.p.a. crank. but we will start the ice hockey where the normal moscow have reached the garden cup final after fresh six one to complete a series whitewash nice in scoring a hat trick in a tie that saw the muscovites lead five nil with over half the game to play it is the first time they've reached the ground cup final and they will probably win the other semi between the war and have on guard duty one up in that series and played

a fourth game tonight but whoever the nominee faced the blue whites know it will be a tough. call themes are extremely strong in the late great season the believe. series that they beat stronger openings in the previous round so. it doesn't. for. now in football by new nick and barcelona have made it through to the semifinals of the champions league after both got comfortable wins last night by going to two no victory over marsay to go through for nearly an aggregate. three one to progress a little messy scoring two controversial penalties in that one afterwards into said they were hard done by pass a coach had guardiola believe the breath got it right. and they were penalties it happened to us during the first leg of the t.v. deliberately since i can see little else about it on a clear cut as you in the penalty in the referee. sometimes they don't tell you

when a player is holding the surety of an element in the area and he must be sanctioned but barcelona will play the winner tonight's quarter final between chelsea and benfica chelsea with a narrow one in advance from the first leg and their manager reverted isn't candie's chick is ahead of the gate at stamford bridge. the only despise far from all the day they have scored the nobody will wait all that in this chair because of the. season so we know the day it's a difficult task ahead for us tomorrow and we have to approach this game like lighten up early game. so it means then think of how they win if they want to reach their first european cup semifinal for more than twenty years by tough task but the portuguese side have lost only once in a row during this champions league campaign and say they're prepared to take the game to chelsea. you still go for it to refute yes of course. it wasn't and we're going to have proved this game by being confined to sleep we

need to please a team we need to score to progress. like i said we're going to play an offensive game taking game and i'm sure we can take the game to chelsea. and while that tie he's evenly balanced only. disaster can prevent it from prying gawin in the last hole ispahani spite after well at the pearly bad after baiting and cranial inside person the first like reality is a marina isn't planning to take his foot off the pedal. but it's imprints this is a champions match we had a very good result and not everybody can expect to win zero here a good book the football is football we have to respect that we have to respect our fans who want a good game also aren't going to make very few changes we're going to play with a really strong team. now in other news russia's top cruiserweight boxer dennis lebedeff faces a test of the unknown this evening he's defending his that will be

a interim title again shawn cox i'm still fighter from barbados both weighed in yesterday cox losing good shape and despite not being a familiar name post a record of sixteen wins from seventeen banks ringside will be some other name stars i know to be really changed jr on the sports bad boy a moment derek what level of strain accost this is a reckons fans can expect the unexpected. to come from will like information about him like it's ok we'll make adjustments in the first rounds and as usual my plan for the fight is to make this unpredictable for his opponent. meanwhile russia's wrestlers are bidding for places at the london olympics and the recent freestyle mesquite championships in moscow went some way to deciding who will make it koreans as this report. this year russia's freestyle wrestling champion should held a special importance the results of this competition along with other major events

will provide the basis for team russia just to lead the country struggles for this summer's olympic games in london and despite the fact russia still hasn't got a limping licenses in two week categories out of the four. appointed and this situation is going to change before too long. i don't think there is a real threat that we won't have our athletes in any weight divisions moreover in london we're going to fight for the silverware in all possible categories on the promises of the event in the mostly region russia's news champions in all only because we were determined taken full advantage of the team leader. since the hands of forty eight so young tell and step into before as a result twenty year old additional federal claim her first domestic goal. in the final the under fifty five he was title holder was contested by some of the

strongest competitors around at the moment. twenty was facing the two time european bronze medalist period. and the youngsters triumph in straight rounds was no talk of any expected but her german and so was a little bit surprising as it was very hard to win here to be honest the best cabinets are here but when you take part in such a tournament it can one be different if specially if it's a plot of a little game selection. and a sixty three k. category twenty eleven runner up and is this year gretchen was too strong for amanda as she claimed the first three rounds of the final in colder than fashion while the most highly anticipated votes of the day was the one between world championship silver medalist katrina bull connor at a three time youth world champion. and this and the seventy two kilograms final lead up to expectation where viewers aggressive style in her and early leads in

peel year round however it didn't blasted school and as her opponent was painted in it much to the ration of the state states is your first thing out of all this i didn't expect the final to go do we did it explicitly in you know and of course i'm very very happy to mean here despite the fact that the names of the athletes who will represent russia twenty twelve olympics are not known yet the countries strongest wrestlers step up into the final part of their group gratian for the only thing is already certain everybody's common aim will be to perform a delimits of their abilities in london in four months time at. parity. now lost is not asked as was a nightmare for goal for rory mcilroy but after blowing a four shot lead on the final round an ordinary says he's came to lay days case to rest at all gus to this way parker roy has been out on the course ahead of the state's star and after last year's meltdown he went on to win the u.s. open. but that has given him the experience needed to launch

a serious challenge for the green jacket this time round. it was just great to be back obviously you know the first i'm afraid of talking last week you know obviously there's no. reason you probably don't want to. it's fine you know i got i got that all out of the way and you know just looking forward to this week i'm looking forward to trying to put myself in contention to try and win this thing and last losing to the sport of state boarding is found a new star after a twelve year old boy performed a trick that has made history american tong pulled off the tele eighty last week meaning the youngster three full circles in the air before landing back on the ramp only in one place and he needed just five attempts to go into the history books this is no mean feat is skateboarders of all ages have been trying to do the same for years and it could put the youngster on the road to riches home shot to fame thirteen years ago when he completed two and

a half sprints. welcome to him that's all sport whether he's. tough question is that so much of an oldish musician on the mark with. the muslim brotherhood decision too much presidential candidate the public's going to make this a policy. will do the. science technology innovation all the least of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. head to next commission dates and believe me oh just having one which gets a tuesday is enough for anybody to go through my life and. no more than fifty

percent and people who are a few texas are not. like you know we've been known to afterwards write. this smack you know we execute our convicted capital murder we have the highest execution rate in america we're not afraid to do it we do it well oh this comes of course we do crimes. are ever to hold. our get in there you're dead to be executed next week then as if you're scaring off the dudes you know you can loose here plenty of periods with the in a manner of me saying that's a good stand clear. and that would lead to the end of the of the death chamber. coming straight at him after they were dead.

there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . used to get the maximum political impact. before the source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something else.
