welcome you watching r.t. committing live from moscow with me. now the world has got to hear the voice of whistle blowing u.s. soldier bradley manning for the first time since his imprisonment in twenty ten and the recording leaked despite a court ban he explains why he released classified military data he says he wanted the world to see the true cost of war accusing troops of not valuing human life and comparing them to children torturing with a magnifying glass earlier artie's tom barton gave me some details on the case. he used emotive languages especially as he worked through this over an hour of audiophiles statement to the court describing his feelings we've taken a couple of the edited excerpts of that one of them concerns this video from the

cockpit of an apache attack helicopter over iraq the two pilots very eager to engage a group of what turned out to be civilians on the ground killing twelve of them including two reuters journalists a van men comes to try and help those shot in the first burst of firing and the helicopter then engages that van as well let's have a listen to what he said about that does that mean that. this was the only. way. i mean this is. bradley manning was shocked by what he saw in that video in two thousand and ten he took the decision to upload hundreds of thousands of documents onto the internet that were then released by wiki leaks now this is the first time

we've heard him say why is that how has this happened and what difference do you think that might make to the case if any yes there's been really strict reporting restrictions and great secrecy surrounding this trial no video no order you know photos and no transcript as well out of that court although one transcript how's already been released from that in contravention of that reporting ban followed by this audiophile east by the freedom of press foundation about the statement he gave a couple of weeks ago i think for many people it will be the first time they will have heard bradley manning's voice and they'll hear a little bit of the man behind all of this controversy perhaps help to make up their mind about him a bit many people in the u.s. . do not take kindly to what he is didn't quite frankly consider him a traitor as for him he has said that when seen videos like like we saw and seeing many of the things like the covering up of human rights abuses and civilian

casualties he really started to question what the wars in afghanistan and iraq were all about that helped to push him to this decision he tried official whistle blowing through the army he was rebuffed he says and then he decided to go and leak this information as he explains it was only. difference is that it was. so it should just be said as far as his trial goes at the moment he is has twenty two charges against him he's pleaded guilty to ten of those not guilty to the others some of those others include more serious charges such as aiding the enemy if he is convicted bradley manning could face up to twenty years in prison. where you can share your opinion on bradley manning's case at r.t. dot com and here's how you've been voting so far half of us who cast their vote believe that bradley manning has become a scapegoat in the u.s.

you want to 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. our friends in iran living in terrible circumstances right now but well 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 event 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 uncivilized 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 that. is now in tehran preparing an unprecedented lawsuit the public versus hollywood affleck himself is 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 the independent filmmaker and blogger danny schechter things are go is the last straw that pushed iran to take action amid a much deeper conflict. it's propaganda but it's probably given that so much against iran but even that american so sustain their fear of iran and also it's the most political part of it is also its attack on hollywood which it shows how empty the whole hollywood culture is in coming up with this phony movie that the plot is

sort of based around you know this is just a movie with that particular overlay you know tying it into the plot in iran and it basically is is propaganda for the cia more then against iran because iran has been treated one to me and chablis for years going back to the hostage crisis i think this whole battle is it is really not a battle argo but it's about policy american policy to sanctions against their will the hostility between the two countries which this movie enforces unfortunately. and iran is planning to take on hollywood its own game by producing a movie with iran's version of the events portrayed in our guy you can find out more online also at r.t. dot com the robot has fueled below the surface of mars finding evidence that scientists claim proves life could have existed there. just the star

read online about a new execution method used for the first time ever to carry out the sentence on seven gang members. now beijing is just a day away from a once in a decade power transfer as a new generation takes over from the old and with china's economy still growing at a particular rate all eyes will be on those set to lead the country over the next decade the transfer will see a near total change in china's top leadership with being expected to form

a new fifth generation government his priority will be to get the country's economic engines running at full speed after a slight slowdown in recent years by twenty seventeen it is expected that china will overtake the u.s. as the world's largest economy the economic rivalry comes amid a battle for influence in asia between the two beijing based correspondent shannon van sant says foreign policy is another issue the new leadership faces. the obama administration announced a pivot to asia last year which means an increase in military spending on military military resources by the united states being focused in asia so that's very significant and china is really increasing its own military spending its developing its military they have appointed a couple of a few senior diplomats in charge of china's foreign affairs one person who's been the point person on japan for a long time another person who's very familiar in dealing with the united states so how this will affect. leadership going forward particularly in terms of these

territorial disputes china has been very assertive and sometimes even bellicose over the last year when talking about these territorial disputes and they seem to really want to show their strength in terms of talking about these issues that just increasingly china has the military strength now to back up some of these more bellicose claims and territorial claims and these parts of asia. the new leadership is to be voted in the twelfth national people's congress but for now we can discuss the power transfer with professor joseph chang of the hong kong c.c. university thanks very much for your time mr chang chinese growth over the past decade has been quite stunning hasn't it but is that something that can be mine. well china now aims at and roll freight of about seven percent plus or minus one in the coming five to ten years this would be manageable mainly because the high growth rate areas of china has been moving from the coastal areas to do interior

provinces china's population is still relatively poor so there's considerable room to raise their consumption and therefore the rest of consumption can still be a very important source of economic growth but obviously china's china is quite dependent on foreign trade and therefore china's scroll of may well be affected by the general state of the global economy and at the same time china is aware of the limitations set by is declining for supply and viral bento deep gradation and the supply of and it's the raw materials and there are a number of domestic problems to face in china at the moment wealth inequality corruption pollution to name but a few do you think that the the country slow moving bureaucracy can actually tackle all of that. there are problems obviously. the

proceeding needs to absorb more highly educated carvers including those returning from over see the problem is not so much the general competence of the bureaucrats after all the car the cops you warts has been rewarded very well and there's no shortage of talent in china the real challenge actually is the issue of corruption. mentalism as well as the fact that. the local of fora tease may not follow the policy kinds from the center very honestly and very effectively solve these are the challenges of the bureaucracy and what about the military because we've seen a double digit increase in military spending what does that tell us about beijing's

priorities. double digit growth. in military expenditure is expected to be done routine partly because china has to spend more in terms of the miller asian for the military and this has been absorbing a very large chunk of the military budget and at the same time are certainly tyner has been spending a lot on research and development moves from the state of buying and funds from abroad to the development of. of the state of the art weapons on its own solve the research and development budget is expected to grow rather substantially as new weapon systems are already on the pipeline ready to be deployed and is it fair to say it's all that the increased spending on the

militaries in fact the reaction to america's increased presence in asia. not exactly i thing this increase in military expenditure is a natural trend for the reasons that i explained just now and at the same time certainly there's a lot of room for improvement for example china has yet to is prove what and maybe to prove it is by toll trade rule. is virtue in marine. saw given the fact that china aims to become a major power and be in a position to defend its territories and its office overseas interests it will continue to spend that kind of rate of increase without any substantial jumps in military expenditure i suspect in fact the chinese authorities

probably understand that the american military spending is very much limited by the fact that. the obama administration has to cut its military budget because of domestic financial difficulties ok thank you very much for your thoughts there professor chang we do have to leave it there superfecta joseph chang at the hong kong city university. rebelling and total meltdown at one time in my bag in a few minutes we report on the most hunger strike that's broken out at the infamous facility with prisoners apparently revolting over rampant abuse by go.

a whole life and what did the british government they simply pretended none of this existed by fixing 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 expensive 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 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 but with the stock which i would not have the see it he gave me the impression that there's not just this event the british government is the one like

you every now and then used you here 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 people have been treated there's been a government balloting on knocking on doors on their behalf or asking what they want the word comes to mind. for how long are you going to punish us for how long we're going to live 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 if

this isn't 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 because since returning to their island and so their stories remain largely consigned to the shadows and yet the chikezie in people continue to bravely fight to return to their home. says. so are. some international news in brief cardinals have found the sistine chapel first full day of voting as they seek to elect a new pope ballots on choose they failed to gather the two thirds majority needed to name a successor to benedict the sixteenth he stepped down two weeks ago to four rounds of votes could be held today white smoke billowing from the roof of the chapel will signal that a new head of the catholic church has been chosen. militants disguised as cricket
