a problem in the east of the country has also been targeted violence has been reported in two other provinces. and the two main challengers for the french presidency rallied last minute support ahead of next sunday's ballot socialist candidate front squat is ahead in the polls all presidents are cozy has joined the charts to the right using immigration and terrorism fears to slate brokers. now the man accused in a case seen by many as a flagrant miscarriage of u.s. justice talks exclusively to our change we're going to maul a former journalist and black panther serving a life sentence behind bars gives us his first exclusive interview after being taken off death row don't miss it. a revolutionary journalist an 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 near ramallah 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 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 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 international that is i pay attention to what's happening in other parts of the world. 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 in paris many i was wondering being 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 with south africa it was also global because it was the touch point of white supremacy versus the freedom and dignity of african people the south africa which was maybe a. logical first choice but wherever people are fighting for freedom you

know that kind of what's my appetite to get my attention and moves my passion you turn at 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 has it changed you. point of fact i've spent most of my life. the bigger percentage of my life on death row 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 actually spent a lot of time. on the bars and in other countries and you know. 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 life. so

in many ways even to this day in my own mind. if not it's back i'm still 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 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 back to buy. 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 why davis. and i remember you know of course like many other pastors reading her works. and. finding when she

attacks 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 that 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 the united states but in california alone exceeds that of plants of belgium of able and perhaps you'd like me for five of the countries combined so we could not proceed 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 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 our community not just among families but in the social incommunicado just this way and the 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 aspects genes which one would you pick what do you wish you could happen in the united there's never one thing i mean 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 interconnectedness and because one part of the system impacts another part of the system and because what antonio prompts you call the chairman of the ideological system impacts the 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 the like and six because the civil rights movement was talking about integration and this and that 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 and their 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 tax rates 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 you know talking to my wife 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 because former generations only concentrated on one thing or one side of the father 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 it because well i would say i would rephrase that american schools in many of the black and latino communities are not a tragedy they are crimes they were monitored by the f.b.i. at the age of fourteen and i was asking 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 of our 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 to 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 you better do it and you better get caught because if you get caught you go to jail it will act like we are on your own what has happened in the last twenty thirty years not just. with the so-called patriot act has made everything that was illegal back in the one nine hundred sixty s. and one nine hundred fifty thousand nine hundred seventy s. . they realized they realized 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 of 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 where big brother is. legalized legal rationalize you described politicians once as prostitutes in suits giving your apologies to honest prostitutes so i want to ask you would selection see that in the united states right now people trust 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 are the two major political parties and when they talk it all i hear is a kind of. 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 serialist i mean what is there to hope for how many people consciously want to 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 or bomber or these are organizations we have to see stuck 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. is this disciple's uprising that you think could change america and do good for the united states i think it's the beginning of a kind of a project because you have to be deeper it has to be broader it has to address issues that are touching on the lives of poor and working. christ i think it's

a waste but i think it's a damn good just wish it was bigger. since our time is running out so me 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 work of kwame to re-organize organize organize and i love you all and i thank you for writing for me now let's write again 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. this was the plan that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial

disaster and now it had been abandoned in the condition where it had become a source of pollution and the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution and spreading. and the need to be more than hundred thousand people chronically in. groups looking in the kitchen and see the children to be ten times more likely to be blown it must effects in children in recent times. in the scene as soon as i wonder dollars for lifelong injuries and. unpunished. the official. to hong kong pulled talk from the.

beating scot stephen gallagher by three shots to lift his fifth european tour title the south african winning his second piece of silverware this year after he successfully defended his africa open title in january now the boxing and probably the most famous voice in the sport i'm talking about a man who's known throughout the world for his catchphrase let's get ready to run the ring announcer nigel botha has been speaking exclusively to r.t. . it's a great evolution and it says it's like taking a sport that. you know that a lot of eastern europeans and many russians dominated in the olympics for the last quarter century and now believe it the fruits of all the labor of the people training any other man boxing training chances now still coming to live you know like you see this evolved into this friends has to get along really have the

attention to have on a lot of the world champions from the earth running the arenas in our in the first place arenas said which is great and it was a very have the world championship fighters and now world championship events televised around the world thousands of people go to see the day they now recognize the fighters and it's it's a really great environment for votes. and started it because there was a period more where and it still exists that the ring announcer has to be introduced all the officials before the fighters and still you've had a moment with the fighters on the ring the music being played and it's very exciting and then. the ring announcer and the speak. he kills the atmosphere that electricity that he created by the fighters making their

entrance to the right so i wanted something that would ignite the crowd that would bring them back to the point where thing now you're going to meet the stars of the show you know i tried many about a station said fasten your seat belts if it were a great mohamed out of used to say that he was ready to run for it and so i find to me that she would be here today let's hear it. you know i never got a chance to introduce mohammed ali as a ring announcer and i think later on we are through the years of charity events that are going to you know friends but. one of my all time favorite sports be mohamed ali. a fighter when i was a boy at the end of his career it was a great sugar ray robinson probably the greatest fighter then it is and they believe. mayweather. got to give credit to put shows
