from entering the race. it's the final push for france's top job as voters and that's to the extreme with concerns of immigration identity i'm imposing new conservative rivals and it was suckers the answer hold sunday rallies in paris. and millions of orthodox christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of christ in the visions the ceremonies of the muslims made to control the holy fire which was ignited in jerusalem it's been known to russia for a centuries old tradition. of the man accused in a case seen by many as a miscarriage of u.s. justice talks exclusively to r.t. me i'm with him out former journalist who is serving a life sentence behind bars gives us his first interview after being taken off death row.
2:32 am
a revolutionary journalist an activist an honorary award holding citizen in over twenty cities with 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 edis move to jamal has spent almost three decades and 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 to my earliest years what one would call an international that is i pay attention to what's happening in other parts of the world. as an internationalist i'm. thinking about
2:33 am
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 street. to me i was wondering in the high 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 and it was also global because it was be such point of white supremacy versus the freedom and dignity of
2:34 am
african people the south africa which would be a. 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 gosh you turn fifty eight 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 what is it like how does it change your. the point of fact that i 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. at other parts of the world because i did so mentally but mental can only take you so far.
2:35 am
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 looking for 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 as the war on the poor 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 back to buy. when i was a teenager that was in the black panther 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 any
2:36 am
other characters reading her works and. and. finding when she attacks 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 better bordered on fascism well fast forward thirty forty years to 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 could i could name four five of the countries combined so we could not proceed back then what it would become and. you know so it's it's monstrous when you really look at
2:37 am
what's happening today 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 have to have an immense impact and effect on the our community not just among families but in the social and communal consciousness way any implication of 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 changed which one would you pick what do you wish you could see happen in the united there's never one thing i mean
2:38 am
it's a sexy question and i understand it and i will address it but the point is because the system is a system of interconnected and because one part of the system impacts another part of the system and because what antonio crunchie called 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 that i can fix because the civil rights movement was talking about faith integration and this and changing the schools in point of fact if you look at the vast majority of working class and poor black kids in american schools today. basically they live and spend their hours in the days in a system profoundly as segregated as that of their grandparents but it's not segregated by race as segregated by race and class formally class which can

factories. 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 own family you know talking to my wife and my kids and even to grant you that preschools that my grandchildren go to the worst in the schools i went to when i was in my minor years and my teenage years that's a condemnation of the system but because former 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 if you only can they can because well i was i would rephrase that american schools and many of the black and latino communities are not
2:40 am
a tragedy they are a crime so 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 seen and can be held that's become easier than ever do you think big brother has officially show 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 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 better get caught because if you get caught you're going to jail it will act like we are on your own what is happened in the last twenty thirty years not just the n.b.a. but the so-called patriot act has made everything that was illegal back in the nine
2:41 am
hundred sixty s. and nine hundred fifty s. and 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 they can look at your mail they certainly can read your e-mail they cap your phones they do all that but they do it in the name of cash or security but they do with nonetheless what we live in today is a national security state where big brother is. legalized legalized rational you describe politicians once as prostitutes in suits giving your apologies to honest prostitutes so i want to ask you a lesson see that in the united states right now people trust her would you vote for somebody 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
2:42 am
there of the two major political parties and when they talk you know all i hear is a kind of fast. reasonable. wish to return to the days of yore the one nine hundred fifty s. where they talk about the perpetuation of the american empire imperialist like i mean what is there to hope for how many people consciously want to go to the polls for voting for imperialism or voting for more war calling 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 is very or because we have the second i just want to ask you lastly you think of indorsed the occupy wall street movement that has sprung up all over the united states. is this difficult uprising that you think could change america and do good for the united states i think it's the beginning of
2:43 am
a 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. christ people i think it has a waste but i think it's a damn good ticket and i just wish it was bigger and. 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 the party to re-organize organize organize and i love you all and i thank you for writing for me now let's write together to be free thank you so much for your time today thank you for talking with us the best of luck thank you thank you you thank. please.

with oil it's a really dumb technique and the world's first visit a high caliber tale is a vent. but ensuring that the call doesn't creep through the custom built courts isn't an easy task but what there must be here it's about minus four to non it's five degrees under your feet right now not only how to protect the eyes but also be able to remove everything and make sure the ice is usable within forty eight hours additionally pools are not usually used indoors like for example on grass the ice is first covered with special isolation tiles altera cover after which it's then secured by a layer of carpeting and plastic. but because the cord is literally being laid over ice 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 tennis bodies have endorsed such

advanced technologies it's not really something that was planned or intended it's just. a simple that is available at the moment because normally we. organize such an answer of the stadium or version of king or here but it was not the right choice of facilities that accommodate such an event i was too busy at the moment there was nicky also busy and this facility since to be very modern and very convenient to arrange this sort of final there's no doubt the highest quality and standards are being used so there's no way any of the players will have a chance to blame the ice for a wrong call now the brand new court is set to be completed by the seventeenth of april a full four days before the federations cup but if there are some unwanted delays players can still rest assured that there won't be feeling when it came time
