a player in this carriage of u.s. justice talks exclusively to our teeth which involves a former journalist and black panther spending life behind bars gives his first t.v. interview after being taken off death row. a revolutionary journalist and activist an honorary award holding citizen in over twenty cities with a street named after him in france his case is said to be one of the most abated in modern legal history accused of killing a police officer in the eat isn't near good humala has spent almost three decades and death row in january he was taken off death row and is now serving life behind bars without parole for the first time since his transfer all he's speaking exclusively with our teeth from jail. thank you so much for speaking with us today my first question to you is after almost thirty years on death row and now

serving a life sentence without parole if you weren't behind bars right now if you could be anywhere else in the world where do you think you would be and what would you be doing. i've always been sent to my earliest years what was called international. a attention that was happening in other parts of the world and as an internationalist i'm. thinking about a life lived by other people all around the world of course as an african-american i would love to spend some time in parts of africa but it's also true that i have many friends and loved ones and friends i was really like to. bring my family my wife and my kids to come see our st. louis i was wondering behind bars you seem to be watching world affairs much closer than most people who are free to walk the streets and i want to ask you which events of the last thirty

years would you really want to be a part of if you could i think first would probably be the anti-apartheid movement in south africa because of course that was south africa was also global because it was the touch point of white supremacy versus the freedom and dignity of african people south africa which is. you know logical first choice but wherever people are fighting for freedom you know that kind of what's my avatar gets my attention and moves my passion you turn fifty at the end of the month which means you will have spent more than half of your life behind bars and most people can't even begin to imagine that was it like how did change here. point of fact i spent most of my life. bigger percentage of my life on death row and i cannot have had

a profound effect on consciousness and on. the way one sees and interacts with the world. i'd like to tell myself that i've actually spent a lot of the time. in the bars and in other countries you know. at other parts of the world because i did so mentally but mental can only take you so far. the truth of the matter is i spent most of my living years in my lifetime on death row so in many ways even to this day in my own mind. if not it back i'm still on your story has really become a symbol for many of us law justice system do you personally have any faith left in a fair and free justice system you've described in your work the prison system the united states of the war on the poor our prisons being built to get rid of the broken the homeless do you have any faith left in that system at all considering

you are obviously so much part of a part of it in your life of them so much affected by it. when i was a teenager and i was in the black at a party i remember going to downtown manhattan and protesting against the. political imprisonment and of course aeration and the threats facing angela why davis. and i remember you know of course like many other pastors reading her works . and. finding when she attacked the prison system she talked about the perhaps two hundred fifty thousand or three hundred thousand people in prisons all throughout the united states that is not just a problem that need to be dealt with but. a crisis situation bet bordered on fascism well fast forward thirty forty years into the present there are more than three hundred thousand prisoners in california alone one state out of fifty

the imprisonment in california notice i'm not talking about the united states but in california alone exceeds that of france belgium of england and france huge i could name four five of the countries combined so we could not perceive back then of what it would become and. you know so it's it's monstrous when you really look at what's happening there you can literally talk about millions of people being part of that is the incarcerated by the prison industrial complex today men women and children and that level of mass incarceration really mass repression have to have an immense impact and effect on the outer community not just among families but in a social incommunicado just this way and they can call keisha fear among generations so it's at a level at

a depth that many of us could not even fathom which remains of today you know i can't help but wonder you talk about so many important social and economic issues in your work. do you have a dream today if you could be one of those aspects genes which one would you pick what you wish you could see happen in the you know there's never one thing i mean it's a sexy question and i understand it and i will address the point is because the system is a system of interconnectedness and because one part of the system impacts the other part of the system and because what antonio crunchie called jimminy the ideological system impacts other parts of the system you can't change one thing that will impact all things i think if anything that's one of the lessons of the like because the civil rights movement was talking about faith in a gracious and there's an app and change in the schools and point of fact if you

look at the vast majority of working class import like kids in american schools today. they believe they live and spend their hours in their days in a system profoundly as segregated as that of their grandparents but it's not segregated by race or segregated by race and class formally class which in fact race the great jonathan consul who has researched american education for forty years has written in one of his most recent books that the american educational system is an apartheid system i know from my personal interaction with my family talking to my wife and my kids and even to grant you that the schools that my grandchildren go to the worst in the schools i went to when i was in my minor years and in my teenage years that's a condemnation of a system because former generations only concentrated on one thing or one

side of the process the problems really got worse and worse got worse and while there is a lot of rhetoric about schools. american schools are a tragedy that's the only thing they can because well i was i would rephrase that american schools and many of the black and latino communities are not a tragedy they are a crime were monitored by the f.b.i. at the age of fourteen and i want to ask you now was laws such as the being passed in the united states where people are watched teen and can be held that's become easier than ever do you think big brother hundred special he showed his face in this country at this point but let's look at it this way if you look back at the cointelpro era what is clear is that the f.b.i. . and their leaders and their agents knew that everything they did was illegal and f.b.i. agents were taught and trained how to break into places how to do what they called

black bag jobs and that kind of stuff how to commit crimes but this is what they were also to do you better do it and you bet i could cause because if you get caught you're going to jail it will act like we've already. happened in the last twenty thirty years well not just be in d.c. but the so-called patriot act has made everything that was a clue equal back in the one nine hundred fifty s. and nineteen fifties and nineteen seventies. they legalized big legalized they legalized the very things that the f.b.i. agents and administrators knew was criminal back then that means they can look at your mail pay certainly can read your e-mail they kept your phones they do all that but they do it in the name of national security but they do with nonetheless what we live in today is a national security state with big brother is. legalized legal rationalize you describe politicians once as prostitutes in suits giving your

apologies to honest prostitutes so i want to ask you would celestion see that in the united states right now who people trust who would you vote for somebody frankly i mean if i have let me put it this way i have seen no one that i could in good conscience vote for. because most of the people that are out there are the two major political parties and when they saw it all i hear is a kind of at least. a reasonable. wish to return to days of yore the one nine hundred fifty s. where they talk about the perpetuation of the american empire imperialist. what is there to vote for the people consciously when they go to the polls are voting for imperialism or voting for more war voting for their son or daughter or father or mother for that matter to become a member of the armed forces and become. a mass murderer bomber or

very organizations we have that and i just want to ask you lastly you seem to have indorsed the occupy wall street movement that has sprung up all over the united states this year is this the type of uprising that you think could change america and do good for the united states i think getting the kind of uprising because it has to be deeper it has to be broader it has to address issues that are touching on the lives of poor and working. class of people i think of as a waste but i think it's a damn good project i just wish it was bigger. sometimes i was running out of money and clay i ask you you are the voice of the voiceless what is your message to your supporters today right now while listening to you. the words require me to re-organize organize organize and i love you all and i thank you for fighting for me alex like to get credit for thank you so much for your time today thank you for talking with us the best of luck thank you thank you thank you.

a lengthy at the weekend past they have crept back into contention with seven matches left although coach pep guardiola still regards his team as the underdogs. but i get your case and what i feel today is the real madrid holds a four point advantage over us so they're the favorites and four points are a lot to overcome because they can fail any day but we can't because if we do the warm sober difficulties we will face now will be much bigger than the ones we had when we were ten points behind them so there will be the difficulties we will face in each game individual it will have to be aware that we need to look well within ourselves on what we have to do we need to game ahead and no offense q us in favor each game at the stadium because it is easy to say the matches much really has a very tough match hours to what name on the russian cranley it is any who are the runaway leaders at the top of the table at the moment the five games to go and in
