margetts why not. only. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on our team. live from moscow this is our t it's our weekly news review and leave me kevin zero in on top stories reporter fresh shelling in syria today as you and observers are set to enter the war torn country it follows the un security council first resolution on the conflict which allows the fervor the world to see the shaken troops that covert a force from the. series of explosions and gunfire and rocket shake the afghan capital but the presidential palace western embassies and nato bases being the focus of a large scale taliban attack militants claim they were retaliate for

a u.s. soldier massacring afghan civilians and also putting copies of the qur'an for the american military. on foreign activists arrive in israel to hold peaceful demonstrations in support of the palestinian people but they need a tough response from the israeli police dozens of activists who were part of an international campaign dubbed welcome to palestine or barred from entering the country nine israeli activists were also arrested. now the man accused in a case seen by many as a flagrant miscarriage of u.s. justice talks exclusively to our. former journalist and black panther a life sentence around buzz because this is first interview after being taken off death row. 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

a gaited in modern legal history accused of killing a police officer in the eighty's near boojum all who 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 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 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 off 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 was really like to. bring my family my wife and my kids to come see our st. louis 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 so south africa which would be a. logical first choice but wherever people are fighting for freedom you

know that kind of what's my appetite and it gets 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 and most people can't even begin to imagine that what is it like how did 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 lifetime on death row so in many ways even to this day in my own mind.

if not it back i'm still on your story has really does come 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 as 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 a part of it in your life have been so much affected by it. when i was a teenager and i was in the back of 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

attacked the prison system she talked about the perhaps two hundred fifty thousand or three hundred thousand people imprisoned 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 the united states but in california alone exceeds that of france belgium of england and perhaps you could name four five other 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 that is an 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 that just among families but in a social and community just as way and in caucasian a fear among generations so it's at a level and at a depth that many of us could not even fathom 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 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 separate 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 the 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 all things i think if anything that's one of the lessons of life and sex because the civil rights movement we're talking about saying integration and this and that changing the schools in point of fact if you look at the vast majority of working class of poor black kids in american schools today. they believe they live and spend their hours in the days of the 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 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 my kids and even the grandkids that the schools that my grandchildren go to or worse than the schools i went to when i was in my mind are yours and in my teenage years that's a condemnation of the system because for 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 the only thing that can be called well i would start would 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 was such is the end 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 from the socially shown his faith in the 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 call 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 were under oath which happened in the last twenty or thirty years well not just. with the so-called patriot act has made everything that was illegal back in the one nine hundred sixty s. and nineteen fifties and nine hundred seventy s. . legalized legalized they legalized the very things that f.b.i.

agents and administrators knew was criminal back then that means they could look at your mail they certainly can read your e-mail they cap your phones they do all that they do with 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 they will rationalize you described politicians once as prostitutes in suits giving your apologies to honest prostitutes so i want to ask you it's election season in the united states right now people trust who would you vote for somebody frankly i mean you have let me put it this way i have seen no one who is in good conscience vote for today. because most of the people that are out there of the two major political parties and when they saw it all i knew was kind of that. reasonable.

wish to return to days of yore the nineteen fifties or 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 are voting for imperialism or voting for more war the 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. we have sixty seconds i just want to ask you lastly you could have been divorced the occupy wall street movement that has sprung up all over the united states. is this the type of uprising that you think could change america and do good for the united states i think it's the beginning of the country uprising 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. price people i think it is a waste but i think it's a damn good i just wish it was bigger and. 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 earth report me to re-organize organize organize and i love you all and i thank you for writing for me now let's write together for thank you so much for your time today thank you for talking with us best of luck to you thank you you thank .

this is street still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal. the soviet files oxys. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for you think you understand it and then he glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

probably the most famous voice in the sports i'm talking about the man who's known throughout the world for his catchphrase let's get ready to rumble ring announcer michael buffer has been speaking exclusively to r.t. . it's a great evolution and it says it's taken 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 it really hit the fruits of all the labor of the people screaming at each other men mazzini train. outsold coming to. see the fall through the straits has to get along with the potential to have a lot of the world champions from. the arenas in our first supreme center which is great and there you have the world championship status and now the world

championship events televised around thousands of people go to see if they play now recognize the fighters and it's it's a really great environment for votes. and it started it because there was a period where and it still exists that the ring announcer has to be introduce all the officials before the fighter see it and still have had a moment with the fighters on the brain and music and think it's very exciting and then. bring an answer and the speech. 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 with things now you're going to meet the stars of the show you know i tried

man your battle stations said it fasten your seat belts it were a great mom and i'll be used to say that he was ready to rumble and so i fine tuning that to what you hear today that stupid. you know i never got a chance to introduce mohamad ali as a ring announcer later in the thirty years a charity event syria got it no friends but. one of my all time favorite stories of the motto if you're. a fighter when i was a boy the end of his career was a great sugar ray robinson probably the greatest writer of all time is a big fan of yours and lately exactly help me weather. the movie gotta give credit to the show's feeling down in a heavyweight division. such a preview of it i think many of the states in germany you know as it is the morris
