arrangement three. three. three. zero three volunteers to be over for your media project a free media oh god r.t. dot com. time for a look at the headlines now carried out the prospect of years of war and mutual destruction russia's foreign minister warns against alling syrian rebels saying it wouldn't topple the president are certainly going to have a trapped and bloody conflict. security versus liberty u.s. congress examines a new act and tackling some of the terror of freedom activists want it could become a license for typing about the state. and flight recorders from monday's plane crash in western siberia possibly show the ice moving parts of the
4:31 am
wings brought down aircraft killing thirty one people plane that wasn't sprayed with antifreeze before takeoff. next we focus on what a growing number of americans say is a major flaw in u.s. politics two party system a frank interview now on that with the jerry white and socialist equality party presidential candidate coming right up. in the. arts he's sitting down with jerry right socialist equality party presidential candidate for the upcoming twenty twelve election mr white thank you very much for joining our team tonight thank you very much well according to a gallup poll a record number of americans now identify themselves as independents actually more than those who identify themselves as democrats or republicans what do you think
4:32 am
that says about american politics a really central question is for years 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 have 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 made 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
4:33 am
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 a bush war program workers face governments which are completely controlled by the world bank so that the oligarchs are 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 and the long struggle by the socialist movement and such figures as leon trotsky there is no national solution for american workers or 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
4:34 am
contributions as interaction in the united states. and us president barack obama is expected to is 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 president 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
4:35 am
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 and 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 controls 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 on their nations whose leaders in your opinion truly represents the people such and that represent
4:36 am
what you see. now because no one nation no not at all in this war none of them at all so 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 represent is a 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 us foreign policy or would change if what americans wanted was represented by the american media 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.
4:37 am
we we are fighting to give voice to the sentiments and the needs of the american working class and 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 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 have been 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
4:38 am
a war as iraq as afghanistan. of 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 tracking down a presidential election in the united states if americans had to choose between a 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 the 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
4:39 am
those two corporate back parties to exclude any voices that challenge the political monopoly of the financial elite over society. no none of the major decisions that affect the lives of millions of people are ever put before before the population and 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 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. general consensus in the population for that it is it is if it is a monopoly against genuine democracy against genuine democracy and pierce amy
4:40 am
america's leaders don't represent the people it's obvious that they are going to get votes you 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 you have a stolen election of two thousand and one 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 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 any critics believe
4:41 am
that the so called american style of political theater is replicated and many other democratic countries like france for example. that of course it's a crying shame you know the degradation of of politics is being brought it everything has to do with celebrity everything you do is slogans and appealing certainly not. to to reason and 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 course that was that was an incredible crime but however the french government saying gaijin are worse it's banning birth the birth rates using anti immigrant and anti arab chauvinism in france these horrible tragedies are an inevitability under those conditions and what is politics
4:42 am
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 two up 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 race hate splay and 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 obama do except claim to the population that
4:43 am
i feel your pain and really on your side while he's getting busy in a myth is that the college from wall street so course the level of politician politics is so degrading put 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 white socialist equality party presidential candidate thank you very much for sitting comfortably and shares very much. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for life you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big

years of war neutral destruction russia's foreign minister warns against all being syrian rebels saying with president assad he took the track to bloody conflict. security forces leave it to the u.s. congress examines a new act in acting some of the terrible. it's going to become a license for typing by the state. recorders from monday's plane crash in western siberia reportedly showing the ice and its wings brought down the aircraft killing thirty one that's the plane or some spray painted antifreeze before takeoff . that's going to weigh into sports needs with which.
4:46 am
thanks for watching the sport and these are the headlines you know not lashkar six ones reach good going cup battle for the very first time. a c three one to reach the champion's league semi's along with john by. fighting the russian cruiserweight champion that advertise for the defense of his w.p.s. crown. but we will start with the ice hockey we're going on in moscow have reached the garden cup final after thrashing scar six one to complete a series whitewash and he's been scoring a hat trick in a tie that saw the muscovites late fall like the game to play he scored his first. single in the second frame is the first time the great thank you daryn cup final
4:47 am
and we'll play you the winner of the semi between you and i will guard three one up in that series and play the full game tonight but whether to face the blue ones believe it will be tough. all themes are extremely strong the way to great season be able to be with a series that big beats and open arms in a previous round so. it doesn't end there for. football by munich and barcelona have made it through to the semifinals of the champions league after both got comfortable wins the ass night and had a two little victory over marsay to go through for nearly an aggregate while barcelona beat ac milan three one to progress the all messy scoring to controversial penalties in that one afterwards into believe they were hard done by the faster coach pep guardiola says the ref got it right. into the we're panels and it's it happened to us during the first leg of the t.v. looking at him since i can see little else about it when
4:48 am
a player catches you in the penalty and the referee blows the whistle that's it because sometimes they don't know when a clear is holding the surety of an improvement in the area that he must be sanctioned past alone will play the winner of tonight's quarter final between chelsea and benfica chelsea with a narrow one nil advantage from the first leg and their manager reverted isn't counting his chickens ahead of the game at stamford bridge. the i mean this ties far from all that they have scored in every way in this champions for the. season so we know it's a difficult task ahead for us to more than i. would have to approach this game like they're not really good. that means benfica have to win if they want to reach their first european cup semifinal for more than twenty years is a tough task but the portuguese side have lost only once on the road during this champions league campaign and say they are prepared to take the game to chelsea.
4:49 am
still go for it to go figure and yes of course there were a goal siren important and we're going to prove this game by being profound obviously we need to play as a team we need to score to progress there's all groups like and said we're going to play an offensive game and taking a game and i'm sure we can take the game to chelsea and while that time is evenly balanced only a disaster can prevent reanimate fred from playing by in the last for the spanish face after well at the bernabeu our debate and three no in cyprus in the first leg the reality. isn't planning to take his foot off the pedal. this is the champions match we had a very good result not everybody can expect the winds here or burn a book but the football is football we have to respect the football little we have to respect our fans who want a good game so i'm going to make that very few changes we're going to play with a really strong team. another nice russia's top cruiserweight boxer dennis leopard
