a revolutionary journalist an 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 eighty's and 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 and 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 an international that is either 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 was really like to. bring my family my wife and my kids to come see our street. parasomnia i was wondering even 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 while that 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 it may be you know logical first choice but wherever people are fighting for freedom you know that's kind of what my avatar gets my attention and moves my gosh you turn at the end of the month which means you will have spent more than half of your life behind bars and most people said even begin to imagine that what is it like how did change here. 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 have 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. you know the 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 on death row so in many ways even to this day in my own mind. if not in back i'm still on your story has really become a symbol for many of our flawed justice system do you personally have any space left in a fair and free justice system you've described in your work the prison system the 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 better but. 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 incarceration and the threats facing angela 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 prison all throughout the united states that is not just a problem that need to be dealt with but. a crisis situation bet bordering 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 france of belgium of england and perhaps you guys 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 incarcerated by the prison industrial complex today men women and children and that level of mass incarceration really mass repression and to have an immense impact and effect on the our community not just among families but in a social and communal consciousness way and the implication of 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. 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 united there's never one thing i mean it's a sexy question and i understand that and i will address 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 brought 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 the one nine hundred sixty because the civil rights movement was talking about integration and this and that and changing the schools and point of fact if you look at the vast majority of working class and poor black kids in american schools today they really 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. 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 you know 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 through when i was in my minor years and in my teenage years that's a condemnation of a system but because former generations only concentrated on one thing or one side of the problem 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 think of a couple well i would 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 was ask you now was laws such as the being passed 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 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 did was illegal and the f.b.i. agents were taught and 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 to 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 were under oath has happened in the last twenty or thirty years well not just the. 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 one nine hundred seventy s. they legalized legalized they legalized the very things that f.b.i. agents and administrators knew was criminal back then that means maybe you can look in your mail space or maybe can read your e-mail they cap your phones they do all that they do with in the name of national security what they do with nonetheless what we live in today is a national security state where big brother is. legalized legalized rationalize you described politicians once as prostitutes. giving your apologies to honest prosecutors so i want to ask you a selection in the united states right now 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 today. because most of the people that are out there of the two major political parties and when they thought it all i knew was a kind of that. reasonable. wish to return to days of yore the one nine hundred fifty s. where they talk about the perpetuation of the american empire and korea was. like i mean what is their support for people consciously want to go to the polls or voting for imperialism or voting for war reporting for their son or daughter or father or mother for them to become a member of the armed forces and become. a mass murder bomber sentimental or are you very orderly since we have sixty seconds i just want to ask you lastly you seem to have endorsed the occupy wall street movement that has sprung out all over the united states this year i think is this the type of authorising that you think could change america and do good for the united states i think you're getting if

you can get proprietory because it has to be deeper it has to be broader extraterrestrial issues that are touching on the lives of poor and working class people and i think that's a waste but i think it's a damn good because i just wish it was bigger and angrier 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 me now let's write together 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.

encounter against the ropes men to get free will take place in the russian capital on tuesday. in the us to moscow. staying with their winter theme but. then bizarrely for the first time in history that cart is to be played on ice but don't expect to see russia preparing their skates for next weekend's match with serbia our correspondent michael prefer jenko explains. you wouldn't believe it actually standing on an ice rink it's a mega sport arena in moscow and built in two thousand and six to hold various ways of courting events so the little bit strange that i'm actually helping to cover it with clay soil now by the end of april they promise to turn this into a bona tennis court indeed the federation's cup semifinal between russia and serbia is being held in moscow on the twenty first and for the second of april and their reign is ice rink famously known for hosting many figure skating and ice hockey

events was recently being the cup of legends is being sealed off and completely covered with soil it's a really done technique and the world's first for such a high caliber tennis event but ensuring that the call doesn't creep through the custom built courts isn't an easy task. it's about minus fourteen one hundred five degrees under your feet right now not only how to protect the ice but also be able to remove everything and make sure the ice is usable within forty eight hours additionally courts are not usually used indoors like for example one grants. the ice is first covered with special isolation tiles called to recover after which it's then secured by a layer of carpeting and plastic. but because the cord is literally being laid over rice no heavy machinery can be used to cover and press the soil so the only way to do it is manually. although defying the elements like this has been done

before and both the russian and international tellus bodies have endorsed such advanced technologies it's not really something that was planned or intended it's just a. facility that is available at the moment because normally we. organise the stadium or the key or here but there's not the watchers of facilities that accommodate such an event i was too busy at the moment. also busy and this facility since to be very modern and very convenient to arrange this sort of fun there's no doubt the highest quality in standards are being used so there's no way any of the players will have a chance to blame the ice for wrong call of a brand new court is set to be completed by the seventeenth of april

a full four days before the federation cup but if there are some unwanted delays players can still rest assured that they won't be feeling when it come game time michael r.t. moscow. serving team russia has won the men's three meter synchronized events on the final day of competition at the world series adding a fourth medal to russia's telly here in moscow. has already interest. the three metre springboard synchronise nancy was the biggest intrigue of the point of day with the usually dominant team china not competing in the discipline it led to an open conversation but the russian pair of you get off and then as a her lead from the first round to secure the goal with a solid performance while the u.s. team or second and ukraine third yes. i think the chinese divers decided to take a pause and have some rest we also didn't compete beijing's the however we try to

short past despite their absence. but. the china team didn't take part in this event expected to compete with them a little early for this competition after this when the russian and you will travel to the final stage of the world series in mexico next week and they're allowed to skip the domestic championship which means they have their place for the national team at the london olympics thank you mike i don't know yet i haven't talked with the head coach but it seems yes we are going to lympics however in our events on the night the chinese won all the gold medals c. and took the forest two places in three meter springboard and he knew where get the highest score in the manse ten meter platform and one hole and she enjoyed wonder woman's minutes how are they cheney's diaries hold undisputable leadership in the
