and i welcome you watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow. now a full audio recording of bradley manning telling a military court why he gave classified data to wiki leaks has itself been leaked despite a court ban manning is heard accusing the us army of not valuing human life in iraq and comparing troops to children torturing and with a magnifying glass for more on this now from marty's tom barton. manning of course he's very strong words when he's describing this material what exactly did he say he did indeed and he was he was very descriptive about his own feelings when he saw some of this material the full audio recordings over an hour long we've taken a couple of edited excerpts from one of those relate to this video which was from

two thousand and seven taken from the cockpit of an apache attack helicopter over iraq the pilots very impatient on their audience recording they eagerly engaged twelve people on the ground to not to be civilians that were killed by the gunfire two of them were reuters journalists as well as ben pulls up to try and help those killed in the first shooting and the fire on the van as well let's just have a listen to what manning had to say about that particular incident was that he that he is the zero zero zero zero zero. zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero is was the only. way. for. me this is. bradley manning was deeply shocked by what he

saw there and elsewhere and so he took the decision and in two thousand and ten he uploaded hundreds of thousands of documents on to the web which were then published by wiki leaks now we did know he didn't mean what he said because there was a full transcript of what he said in court but this is the first time we've actually heard it why is that and is it going to make any difference yes it is it is in in a way a unique moment there had indeed been a transcript published in contravention of court rules recently of this statement is given to this court martial pretrial hearing a couple of weeks ago that the trial so far this pretrial hearings guarding great secrecy no video no audience no photos no transcripts even allowed out and then we hear this published by the freedom of press foundation and really it's a chance for people to hear for the first time since he was arrested in two thousand and ten the man behind all of this the real voice the voice of bradley

manning and perhaps it would be a chance for the public to try and make up their mind what they really think of him and do you think it will perhaps put him in a more favorable light now people if we can use that word now people can actually hear him say the words and the tone in which he's using can we learn anything about the man himself do you think it's possible i mean there is a lot of a very tense feeling over what probably manning's done there obviously two sides to this story many people in the u.s. consider him a traitor very angry about what he did for his own part he has sought to defend his actions to explain them by saying that when he saw material like that video we saw and many other things like hiding civilian casualties and human rights abuses in iraq and afghanistan he began to question how this all fitted together the the wars there and it gave him an emotional burden he said and so he tried for whistleblowing channels in the army he was rebuffed and so he decided that he would

leak this information as we'll hear now. this. is where it was. so that is how he feels as far as the case goes at the moment manning's facing twenty two charges he's pleaded guilty to ten of those not guilty to the others and the want is not pleaded guilty to include more serious charges such as aiding the enemy if convicted he could face up to twenty years in prison ok thank you very much tom let's artie's tom bachman just reminded that you can hear the entire recording that is on our web site at r.t. dot com. the oscar winning blockbuster are going may have been bathing in gongs and glowing praise but now it's getting some attention its makers probably don't want iran's apparently planning

a lawsuit over the movie which chronicles the storming of the u.s. embassy in tehran in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine calling it a distorted and unrealistic portrayal of their country is alexy had a share of ski on the drama that's now been released. you won't see such at the oscars every year none other than the u.s. first lady announced the best movie award and ben affleck could not hide his delight at scooping the top statue for our goal not forgetting though to stick another boot into iran's backside right at the ceremony and i think canada would like our friends in iran living in terrible circumstances right now but while affleck is probably still celebrating his triumph his movie set to be based on a real cia operation sparked fury in iran needless to say argo has been forbidden for screening in the islamic republic but a closed circle of iranian officials and critics watched it and described it as cia propaganda aimed at moring the country's image this episode the storming of the us embassy caused particular fury witnesses of the nine hundred seventy nine events

say only students took part whilst affleck chose to portray them as bloodthirsty terrorists holywood just trades on the spirit types and loves it remember borrett such a baron cohen's comedy that depicted kazakhs as uncivilised farmers a comedy for some but kazakhs definitely were not laughing borat was heavily criticised but it never went beyond that this time iran may go one step further iranian media report that controversial french lawyer is a player is now in tehran preparing an unprecedented lawsuit the public versus hollywood affleck himself has yet to respond to the accusations but with such strong statement of intent coming from iran soon enough hollywood produces may have to argo defend themselves well let's discuss this further with an independent filmmaker and blogger danny. thank you very much for your time can i just ask first you think iran is right in calling this movie unbalanced well it isn't most of them

here on balance do you have a point of view they offer little good filmmakers in this case we've been. kind of traditional genres. henri you know the way people incredible oh you know subtext of all going to put it on the screen in a country which is still very frustrated because she was unsuccessful in defeating iraq and now they can defeat you run vicariously through because she would have an emotional response of many americans going to also as much or probably get it for the cia as it is against iran itself in new zealand has a resolution in the film distorting the role that sticklebacks the film says the show and get people who. i think we seem to have lost danny there we will try and get back to him when we can

. but let's move on to our next story china's new leader is expected to formally take over from incumbent huge in town later this week the world's got a close eye on the once in a decade power transition in the fast rising global player and second biggest economy beijing's been rapidly growing over the last few decades at a speed which has brought it close to the traditionally major economies including the u.s. and even allowed its a pass europe's powerhouse germany that slowed down a bit recently but china is still expected to overtake the u.s. as the world's biggest economy in twenty seventeen the economic rivalry comes amid the battle for influence in asia between the two i stay with us for some analysis on china's new generation of politicians later this hour also ahead for you.

hundreds take to the streets for another night of anger in brooklyn ny with the deadly police shooting of a teenager these and other stories after the break. i . speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you. but we'll turn to angles stories.

china's economic miracle isn't it with a new generation of politicians manage do you think to get it back to the speed that it was. well that's so that's a very good question and whether or not that is the case i think china is on track to overtake the u.s. economy as the world's largest economy sometime within the next four years it's now projected to overtake so i think i think whether or not they're able to get on the same blistering course that they were in the past i think the there is now such institutional investment in the in the economic infrastructure that's been created around china in the past few years that i think a lot of players at the table are really invested in the idea of china continuing to grow and we see this now with people scrutinizing the latest manufacturing data out of china very closely and if it was true in years past that if the u.s. needs the rest of the world caught a cold i think it's now becoming true in the chinese situation so i think there's going to be even if china is not able to maintain its blistering pace of growth it

is still going to continue to grow because there's a lot of investment simply changing on that idea let's just talk about the military because despite the current slide than it has increased and actually spending by a double digit a man doesn't it say do you think it's time to set itself militarily . there's no question that there's been a very concerted effort to build up the chinese military and naval capacity in the past few years and we've been seeing that playing out and being utilized more in the east china sea in the south china sea i think that that's almost guaranteed to continue and we are seeing for example the deployment of new drones new aircraft carrier lots of new technology that they have are developing right now that is certainly not at any point at this point certainly not a rival to american military dominance in the region but one could imagine that extending from here into see it becoming a real military power and i think there's no question that that's where the chinese leadership wants to take china. well let's move on to the u.s. now because the u.s.

has confirmed that it shifting its priorities to asia to asia and what has been dubbed the age of pivot how do you expect china to respond to that. well i think we've already seen how this is starting to play out with the confrontation for example between china and japan over the sink islands and we've seen some some indications of how this is going to happen through u.s. proxies in the region rather than a direct converse that confrontation between the u.s. and china and i think that that plays into everyone's interests at the moment because no one is really that interested in upset in the entire table that at this point in time i think that's something that could potentially develop some ways down the road and i think that's what china has their eye on at the moment and that's why they're steadily and quietly just continuing to build up their military forces but again i think there's a lot of economic and financial interests that's been invested in this in the relations between china and the u.s. and china in europe so to whatever extent that there there may be military tension

between the two hours i don't think it's in either of their interests at this point to actually start a confrontation. a lot china is taking a tough stance isn't it on territorial disputes the moment with japan and the fate of pain so is this a direct response to u.s. military buildup in the region do you think i think it has to be seen as just part of not not necessarily a response and not necessarily a provocation but just part of what happens when we have these big or big actors that are increasingly becoming bigger that are in this close proximity so i think there's going to be a lot of quote unquote solutions being offered by things like the international crisis group that wants to see an expanded as a yawn which of course is just going to be a type of u.s. bulwark against chinese jenny in the region versus china which is going to continue to seek its its rights to assert itself in the in the south china sea in the east china sea and as i say i think there will be a confrontation some ways down the road but until that point i think that there is going to be a lot of economic and financial turnover in the world economy that's going to be

huge and on china that will probably be playing more of a role including the upcoming bric summit in durban south africa later this month that i think is going to play a potentially pivotal role in changing some of the global financial infrastructure james thank you for your thoughts we do have to leave it that is james cole that editor of the colbert report. there's a new war of words between the u.k. in argentina after a fork and island is there today overwhelmingly to remain a british territory argentina also claims the islands and the referendum is irrelevant but british prime minister david cameron said his country will always stand for the fork and but that's in sharp contrast to the country's treatment of other islanders a sheriff the reports. this is the story of an island a proud and spirited people displaced and i government he put it devastatingly high

price on paradise shockingly for many it will be the first time the story's ever been heard. of the happiness. leaving to each other and away when been treating here we discover a moment it's very hard to get our says a british colony in the indian nation and the largest of the chakan silence has a population of a thousand people about the same as the. good memories. there you go it's a home a real paradise today they da gusty is one of america's biggest military advice is because we it's our plan. it's not for them. you know when you see them you got this anger because they are enjoying the island. we

are suffering back in the one nine hundred sixty s. and it is shrouded in secrecy bush cynically to learn the islands to the us but there was a problem the island had for generations been inhabited by the chikezie and people they'd built schools hospitals a whole life and what did the british government they simply pretended none of this existed by dictating the entire population from their homes secrets lies deception dishonesty always rooted in facts in one thousand nine hundred eighty s. britain went to war protecting the folks and islanders from argentina in training first sums of money and costing precious lives the exact same time it was also using extensive resources preventing the people of the chakan silence from attending the falkland living in the homeland and they have a choice to stay where they if they wanted to stay under. the rule of the british

or if they wanted to go to the fork. and time rules they have a say. we don't have the sea. give me the impression that there's not just this event a british government is the one like you every now and then used you hear in the news talking about human rights justice social justice and so on but they are the one that many people in the justice the cica seeing community have been fighting for their right to return to the islands ever since they winning some of their court cases pushed. government have continually appealed blocking their progress every step of the way how differently the chikezie in people have been treated there's been a government balloting or knocking on doors on their behalf or asking what they want the h word comes to my mind age four for how long are you going to punish us

for how long we're going to leave this life. we don't want to be here we don't want this life we want to go back home. where we belong that i would. send us back or perhaps the most shocking thing about this story with this is simply something that happened decades ago this past injustices have been compounded by successive british governments right up to the coalition of today he continued to fight against the church or since returning to their island and so their stories remain largely consigned to the shadows and yet you can see in people continuing to bravely fight to return to their home. says. sir arthur. or britain's overseas policies as well as whether the falklands referendum will make any difference to the bitter dispute between the

u.k. and argentina are up for discussion in cross talk next hour. the view them thoughts the island is a completely and absolutely irrelevant that is not true the the worse the wishes of the will the islanders is very important here this is what it's all about it's about what do the people the falkland islands want to live under do they want to live under the crown of the united kingdom or do they want to be part of argentina there is a debate about sovereignty two countries claim these islands and they should get together and have a discussion about what might happen and that is what the british absolutely refused to do. i thought a night of anger in brooklyn is hundreds continue to vent their anger at the gunning down by police of

a sixteen year old boy officers claim the teenager pointed a gun at them while ronnie's are expected after a heavy police presence turned out turned out had a candlelight vigil racial equality activist col dick says america is upside down by justifying police brutality instead of providing security the police whenever they murder or kill a black or latino youth it is always dean justifiable homicide the witnesses tell a different story this happens again and again we should live in a society where those who are in trusted public security system or risk their own lives in murder or injure an innocent person but it's the other way around this is why people are upset and they should be upset people are frustrated people are angry and i am not going to condemn them for standing up expressing anger because the real violence in this case begins with the killing of kimani gray. now we can

return to our top story again and that involving the possible suing by iran of hollywood over the film argo we have got with us now danny schechter good to have you with us an independent filmmaker and blogger live from south africa you mentioned before when we spoke to you you thought perhaps this film was a bit of propaganda let me just give you the iranian officials response they said that awarding an anti iran movie is a propaganda attack against our nation and entire humanity perhaps think there was a political motive for awarding an oscar to this movie. i don't think it was done politically thinking film resonated with many in the american public want to prove you are slate magazine said some interesting things about he says looking at the runaway success of this film it seems as if critics and audience does oh like lack the historical knowledge to recognize

a self serving perversion of an unflattering past or the cultural aqim and to see the utterly bit bit thick leecher of the enterprise a cast of stock characters and situations a series of increasingly contrived narrow escapes from third world mobs to predictably are never quite smart enough to catch up with the americans this is a cinematic recycling act so it's propaganda but it's probably get that not so much against the run but aimed at americans who sustain their fear of iran it also works the most political part of it is also it's its attack on holly wood which it shows how empty the whole hollywood culture is in coming up witness phony movie that the plot is sort of based around the new zealand government is also upset because they say that there there was a distortion of the role of their own diplomats and it may have sent off

a letter to bet at. there you know ben affleck studied middle eastern studies in college but he never graduated in that field and you know this is just a movie with a particle overlay you know tying it into the plot in iran and it basically is is propaganda for the cia more then against iraq because iran has been treated one to many intially three years going back to the hostage crisis by the way i was in the embassy in iran recently year ago and actually had a tour and i saw that it was a heavy spice station it's not wrong that this show that this place was being used for espionage against the iranian revolution and against the people of iran and surrounding countries that's a fact but not a convenient fact so it's a limited release from the film and just quickly danny given the fact that people

can't distinguish between fact and fiction in your belief presumably this film will only cause a negative sort of an impression of iran won't it in the u.s. well not only that but every day there are new stories about how your iranian media press t.v. in iran has just had through its managers banned in europe it's been dropped from european channels of all over the place it's not on any american channels really right now so you know iran doesn't have an outlet can't get its voice heard and so they see hollywood as being basically aiding and abetting the intervention of the united states in iran. so like these see it or the propaganda but we don't see it as propaganda that's the problem ok danny very interesting to hear thoughts that we have run out of time that was that danny schechter an independent filmmaker and blogger from south africa now after the break more on the far from
