welcome back you are we're watching r.t.o. let's take a look at the top stories now it's zero hour for the syringe clamp of mutual distrust and suspicion for me efforts to bring an end to his still ities that is the mask is as foreign minister prepares for talks with his russian counterpart in an attempt to resolve the deadlock. two years after the polish president's fatal plane crash in russia the two countries attempt to turn a page in their relations while some politicians morison try to ride the wave of

grief into power well right now you're looking at live pictures of commemorations of events from warsaw and. obvious queues in a case seen by matty as flagrant miscarriage of u.s. justice talks exclusively to our team of which a mob of former journalist and black panther is spending live 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 but the street named after him in france his case is said to be one of the most of beaded in modern legal history accused of killing a police officer in the eighty's has spent almost three decades on death row in general he was taken off death row and is now serving life behind bars without

parole for the first time since his transfer and he's speaking exclusively with our t. 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 my earliest years what one would call in international studies pay attention to what's happening in other parts of the world. as an international as i'm. thinking about life live 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 street. money i was wondering the high bard 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 at south africa because of course what was south african was also global because it was the touch point of white supremacy versus the freedom and dignity of african people the south africa which would be a. logical first choice but wherever people are fighting for freedom you know that kind of my appetite gets my attention and moves my question you turn at the end of the month which means you will have to spend more than half of your life behind bars and most people can't even begin to imagine that what is it like how

does it change your. the point of fact i've spent most of my life. the 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 like to tell myself that i've actually spent a lot of the time. on the bars and in other countries and you know. 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 life. so in many ways even to this day in my own mind. if not in fact i'm still your story has really become a symbol for many of our flawed justice system do you personally have any faith left in is there and the justice system you've described in your work the prison

system in 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 part of it and your life has been so much affected by it. when i was a teenager and i was in the black at the party i remember going to downtown manhattan and protesting against the. political imprisonment and incarceration and the threats facing angela white papers. and i remember you know of course like many of the characters 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 prison all throughout the united states that is not just problems that need to be dealt with but. a crisis situation

that 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 united states but in california alone exceeds that of plants of belgium of england and perhaps you could name four five other 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 today you can literally talk about millions of people being part of that is to be incarcerated by the prison industrial complex today men women and children and that level of mass incarceration really mass repression has to have an immense impact and effect on

the outer community not just among families but in a social and communal consciousness way caucasian a fear among generations so it's at a level and at a depth that many of us could not even fathom or dream 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 that's genes which one would you pick what you wish you could happen in the united there's never one thing i mean it's a question and i understand it and i will address it but the point is because the system is a system of interconnectedness and because one part of the system impacts another part of the system and because. until you crunch you call the chairman of 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 liking to because the civil rights movement was talking about integration and this and changing the schools in point of fact if you look at the vast majority of working class support like kids in american schools today. basically 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 is segregated by race and class formally class which impacts race the great jonathan consul whose research in 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 own family you know talking to my wife and my kids and even the grandkids that the schools that my grandchildren go to the worst in the schools i went through when i was in my minor

years and in my teenage years that's a condemnation of the system but because former generations only concentrated on one thing or one side of the file the problems really got worse and worse and worse and while there is a lot of rhetoric about schools. american schools are a tragedy if you only can make an equal well i would i would rephrase 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 with 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 has officially shown his face in this country at this point. well 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 the f.b.i. agents were talking trained how to break into places how to do what they call black bag jobs and that kind of stuff how to commit crimes but this is what they were also too good to do it and you bet i could cause because if you get caught you're going to jail it will act like you're on your own what has happened in the last twenty thirty years not just me in the so-called patriot act has made everything that was a clue equal back in the my team sixty's and nineteen fifties and nineteen seventies . they think alike they legalized they legalized the very things that f.b.i. agents and administrators knew was criminal back then that means they can look at your mail they certainly can read your e-mail they cap your phones they do all that but they do within the name of the show security but they do it nonetheless what we

live in today is a national security state with big brother is. legalized legalized rationalize you describe politicians once as prostitutes in suits giving your apologies to on as prostitutes so i want to ask you would selection season in the united states right now the people trust would you vote for nobody frankly i mean if i have let me put it this way i have seen no one that i could in good conscious fourth day. because most of the people that are out there of the two major political parties and when they saw it all like the risk of kind of that. reasonable. wish to return to days of yore the nineteen fifties where they talk about the perpetuation of the american empire and korea was like i mean what is there to vote for how many people consciously want to

go to the polls 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 a very forgiving when we have the stuff and i just want to ask you lastly you think you have indorsed the occupy wall street movement that has flown all over the united states this year is this uprising that you think could change america and do good for the united states i think it's getting to be kind of a project 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. christ people i think it's a waste but i think it's a damn good game i just wish it was bigger and angrier since our time is running out of money and can i ask you you are the voice of the voiceless what is your message to your supporters today right now who are listening to you. in the words require me to re-organize organize organize and i love you all and i thank you for

fighting for me now let's fight to gather for thank you so much for your time today thank you for talking with us the best of luck thank you thank you you thank. wealthy british style. is not the type of. markets finance can. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines and two kinds a report on r g.

the page and their relations while some politicians of war so try to ride the wave of grief and power you're looking at live pictures coming out of warsaw. those are the headlines here on r.t. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more on dates and next so we'll get the latest from the world of sports with that route. hello there thanks for watching and here's a taste of what is coming up over the next few minutes chelsea in tottenham slip up in the race for european football next season his rivals newcastle keep up the pressure plus mission possible barcelona have the chance to cut the gap on leaders rearming to a single point as the fight for the spanish michael fox are going down former champions russia will fall out of the top ten in the davis cup rankings a measurable good. let's start though with the english premier league where

chelsea's hopes of grabbing the fourth champions league spot have been dealt a blow they conceded later equaliser against poland to draw a one one craven cottage frank lampard penalty had put the blues ahead at the halfway stage but clint dempsey's late header saw them to share the spoils chelsea united two points behind tottenham clean on to the fourth champions league spot the spyder two one loss to norwich newcastle eleven with spurs after two nil defeat of bolton and other games on easter monday everton crushed sunderland their four nil villa against finished on a pace so this is how the top of the table is looking manchu united eight points clear of man city there but then there is a real scramble for the third and fourth champions league sports currently held by arsenal and tottenham although they've got newcastle and chelsea breathing down their necks meanwhile over in spain the race for the league title is heating up barcelona could move to within a pointedly to three hundred with victory over the taffy this evening because

points behind reale just two weeks ago it seemed to be an impossible task to call them back but after reality only joy palencia at the weekend baster have crept back into contention with seven matches left although coach pat guardiola still regards his team as the underdogs. but there isn't one i feel today is between how much read holds a four point advantage over us so they're the favorites and four points are awarded top of the car because they can fail any day but we can't because if we do we've worn so the difficulties we will face now will be much bigger than the ones we had when we were ten points behind so they will be the difficulties we will face in each game individually we have to be aware of it we need to look well within ourselves on what we have to do we need to game ahead and our fans you are in favor each game of the stadium because it is easy to see nash's the trail much or it has

a very tough question ours are to. us and remain the runaway leaders in the russian primarily the five games to go and in case you missed any of the action from the weekend it is now your chance to catch up here is. live . live live. live live. live live
