well for the. science technology innovation all the least of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. but past the hour here in moscow this is r.t. your headlines russia's foreign minister says the assad regime should be more active in implementing the u.n. brokered cease fire plan in syria just two days now before the final deadline but sort of a lover off also called on those supporting the opposition to pressure on the factions who are some peace efforts. the british prime minister and his japanese counterpart agreed to expand collaboration on defense so many see the move as

a mirroring washington's recent drive to boost its military presence in the asia pacific. and russia and poland remember the victims of the tragic plane crash near smolensk that killed the polish president and most of the country's political elite two years ago a separate investigations by both moscow and warsaw concluded that bad weather and pilot error what's a blame for the catastrophe and. those are the headlines now the man accused in a case seen by many as a flagrant miscarriage of u.s. justice talks exclusively to us here about see. the former journalist and black panther who's serving a life sentence behind bars gives his first interview after just now being taken off death row be watching arts. a revolutionary journalist an activist an honorary award building citizen in over

twenty cities on 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 near would your model has spent almost three decades on 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 r 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 were 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 one would call international that is i pay attention to what's happening in other parts of the world and as an internationalist i'm. thinking about 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 and i would really like to. bring my family my wife and my kids to come see our st. louis i was wondering given the high bar 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 what's your sense 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 it was south africa it was also global because it was the touch point of white supremacy versus the freedom and dignity of african people south africa which is a. logical first choice but wherever people are fighting for freedom you know

that kind of what's my avatar to get my attention and moves my gosh you turn fifty eight of the end of the month which means you will have spent more than half of your life behind bars most people can't even begin to imagine that what is it like how did change your. point of fact i've spent most of my life. the bigger percentage of my life on death row and it cannot have had a profound effect on consciousness and on. the way one feeds and interacts with the world. i like to tell myself that i've actually spent a lot of the time. in the bars and in other countries and. in 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 in fact i'm still on your story has really become a symbol for many of us flawed justice system do you personally have any faith left in a fair and free justice system just pride in your work the prison system in united states as the war on the poor are 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 that. 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 y. davis. 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 a problem 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 england and perhaps you can i 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 increase the radius 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 our community that just among families but in a social incommunicado just this way in caucasian a fear among generations so it's at a level 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 aspects chines which one would you pick what do you wish you could see happen in the united there's never one thing i mean it's a second question and i understand it and i will address it 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 what antonio crunchie called jimminy the ideological system impacts other parts of the system you can't change one thing that will impact things i think if anything that's one of the lessons of life because the civil rights movement was talking about faith integration and this and that and changing the schools in point of fact if you look at the vast majority of working class poor black kids in american schools today. they believe they live and spend their hours in the days of 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 impacts race. the great journalism consul who was researching american education for forty years has written in one of his most recent books that the american educational

system is an apartheid exist i know from my personal interaction with my family you know talking to my wife and kids and even the grandkids that the schools that my grandchildren go to the worst in the schools i went to when i was in my mind are years into my teenage years that's a condemnation of the system because for generations only concentrated on one thing or one side of the process the problems really got worse and worse and worse and while there is a lot of rhetoric about schools. american schools are a tragedy that's the only thing that can be called well i would start with rephrase that american schools in many of the black and latino communities are not a tragedy they are a crime they were monitored by the f.b.i. at the age of fourteen and i want to ask you now was laws such as the path in the

united states where people are watched a teen and can be held that's become easier than ever do you think big brother from 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 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 with it you bet i could cause because if you get caught you're going to jail it will act like we are on your own what has happened in the last twenty thirty years not just the india but the so-called patriot act has made everything that was illegal back in the one nine hundred sixty s. and one nine hundred fifty s. and nine hundred seventy s. . they legalized they legalized 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 email they tap 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 legalized rationalize you described politicians once as prostitutes in suits giving your apologies to honest prostitutes so i want to ask you would celestion season in the united states right now still 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 today. because most of the people that are out there of the two bigger political parties and when they talk it all i hear is

a kind of that just another reasonable. the wish to return to days of yore the nine hundred fifty s. or they talk about the perpetuation of the american empire imperialism i mean what is there to vote for how many people consciously want to go to the polls are voting for imperialism or voting for more of 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 organized since we have sixty seconds 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. is this the couple's uprising that you think could change america and good for the united states i think it's the beginning of 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. quest people i think it's

a waste but i think it's a damn good i just wish it was bigger. since our time is running out of money and can i ask you you're the voice of the voiceless what is your message to your supporters today right now who are listening to you. in the words of kwame to re-organize organize organize and i love you all and i thank you for fighting for now let's try to get to the court thank you so much for your time today thank you for talking with us the best of luck thank you thank you thank you. wealthy british scientists. time to find the money.
