widespread panic and havoc in the russian the urals in february was caused by a piece of rock from space ok that's artie's graphics but the real thing must have been terrifying a huge meteor tearing through the morning sky but within seconds of course the internet lit up with speculation about what it could have been had a missile going off was it the apocalypse even in any event if you were caught up in this blast you would have known about it look at these people in the building must have been terrifying for them that blast blew out windows it actually injured read about a thousand people these dramatic videos were watched on our you tube channel more than sixty million times it was a huge hit it was also a time of course when the world found out how many russians use those dash cams to record at a second's notice as you can see here pictures that would be world headline makers

also a lot of mobile phone uploads as well one of the guys that uploaded onto our you tube channel was group got a chance often delighted to say he can join us no grigori hi there thanks ever so much for being with us again what was going through your head when you saw this. your problem will follow the choice for. you i thought a nuclear war had started i thought there would be an atomic shockwave and more far honestly i was pretty scared what made you reach for your mobile phone was it just instinct. of all fool i had it in my hands by accident i saw a flash of the sky and i was stunned but it was gone i went to the balcony switched the camera on instantly to film the cloud trail and this is when the blast occurred and then another one it was also we get a light brighter within seconds i thought we would all be covered by the nuclear plant. you said you were afraid i mean obviously you were it's difficult to describe business i guess to people that didn't witness it didn't feel what it was

like you describe it for us wrong before the blast was deafening all you hear in the footage these are not sound effects or anything i could sense the immediate shock wave moment you can see in my footage the band's be over glass was flying around from shattered windows i thought it was a nuclear missile that went off then it occurred to me public happen afterwards how we going to live it was all very fast what did you do immediately afterwards. i was so scared i didn't call anybody i simply went back into check out my family who were asleep they were of course all awake by the panic and there were a lot of emotions did you at the time think for a moment about how popular this story will become when you upload your video onto huge you know it all i simply put it onto you tube and return to my daily routine we come down a little bit by then it was before a few hours later that we all realised it was a meteorite so much footage of the top story in news bulletins and i was like wow.

gregory thank you for sharing with us one experience you had that and you now videos of that meteorite and i used to channel really caught your imagination one witness account said the flash was blinding and that the shockwave almost fall that many share what they thought the meteor was a result of versions ranging from aliens to a nuclear blast others were surprised too at just how the russians reacted to that fireball above their heads or rather didn't react no panic swearing here only sounds from car stereos as picked up by those dash cam. the truly global stories that captured your attention with the wave of mass protest movements around the world over the last couple of years we thought it coverage from the arab spring in the middle east and north africa and also of course those anti a stereotype protests in europe our correspondents were always in the thick of it. sometimes so much so they were caught up in it like sarah ferguson athens she came into contact with to get us as

a result she needed medical treatment. i remember that morning in the square and we need to lights in the morning and the crowds being steadily getting bigger. and you could just fill in the day wore on the tension starting to increase. and then in an instant everything just changes in you hear the sound of the take gas going off. and all this is complete mayhem around us the sort of what you wanted to keep filming keep filming that story. a few moments in with sort of the take quite a bit powering. you know all the different ways

that we have to tell the stories to share the stories had made it. exciting telling you to be involved in journalism you call each e but with. all these different platforms with which she shared the story and they connect this story to other people sometimes in real time and also you end up with a piece in some situations that really make people sit up and i you know wow actually happening that's what's going on and i think really the options for where this can go pretty much limit and. yeah building cliques is just the beginning in the words of our very own sort of and it wasn't just the protests in europe that we brought you all the protests in north africa the middle east the arab spring we also covered extensively what was happening across the atlantic in america the occupy wall street protests

a bit of stick in america more than the history at the forefront of the coverage for o.t. was lucy care for more. than just the person it's good to see you two back in twenty eleven all she was one of the first big channels the showing the world was really going on absolutely i mean we really felt that these protest movements got at the heart of the key issues economic and political in the u.s. at the time and we started covering it from day one we had our crews and our cameramen there regularly but i actually decided to move out there spend a chunk of time living in the other protest site zuccotti park as you can see there and that was critical because it allowed me to get there late in the evening after the professional cameras were gone fill with my cell phone post those videos to you tube for r.t. and really get that material out there is quickly as possible of course it wasn't always easy the police weren't exactly keen on having reporters filmed there and so we were actually able to capture this bizarre video there using these high powered strobe lights it's one of the many tactics the police use to try to sort of keep

the press away from filming the as it was one of the really important things that i thought was so for marty's coverage of the police. really being covered by other mainstream media absolutely and the really surprising thing about these instances of either police brutality or the heavy handed tactics is that they really prompted and fuel the protests i mean whether it was for example this proper spray video this is an iconic image that we saw there or these seven hundred protesters being arrested on the brooklyn bridge the instances of beatings the violence all of those instances didn't happen in a vacuum people videotape this they posted to you tube r t got it out there on air and online and that really fueled the protests not just centered all new yorkers. your coverage across america absolutely i mean the protests spread and so did our coverage i actually spent quite a bit of time in oakland which is the video that you're seeing right here as you can see radically different a much more militant movement there the protesters were a lot more sort of heavy handed as were the police so we saw use of so-called

non-lethal weapons flash bang grenades tear gas rubber bullets chaotic environment to film and trying to you know sort of walk through this tear gas and of course amid all of this chaos and iconic image an iraq war veteran wounded critically by a flying projectile a police thrown flying projectile that actually is the first. look at what happened. what you're doing what you know. so there you heard scott olsen was his name that was the veteran who was injured in this it's going to be a video. on a very pleased to say the scott olsen's with us know how the looking ahead have a little bit of the where we lost so use good to see the program what was going through your head when all this was happening well just gone there to support. there was certainly

a lot of pain and i was panicked because i wasn't sure what happened mostly i was just focusing on surviving through. serious injury and i'm just curious i mean you came back from a war zone you entered oakland did it feel like you were back in another war zone in your own country. when i got back from iraq you know i thought that i was safe. you know i was not going to be physically injured i had close calls in iraq but i made it through and i was done you know once a service or your needs and. the sounds really like made it feel like a combat zone which which i was schooled looking back now what kind of role do you think you chew played in the coverage of the occupy protests. also was and you wouldn't to be an independent journalists once a video is out there because of what you were champion nord by the mainstream media

and it forces them to provide coverage of the scott olsen thank you for being on the program i was good to see looking so well scott olsen the iraq war activist and author at that time lucy couple as well thanks ever so much and. then pictures we uploaded from around the globe got you watching around the globe. so the big question who watched us most around the world well the answer is the usa as you can see there over three hundred million votes this is how the click stacked up across the rest of the world in the car than thirty five clicks from north korea and we may find that surprising considering how heavily censored the internet is in north korea would love to know who is watching us everyone of course shooting for pictures like this this was one of the big stories of the year wasn't that meteorite coming in over the year old sixty one million of you watch that clicked away a lot of coverage of the global protest as well thirty million of you watched that but the biggie the big story was that all four then the tsunami then the meltdown

at fukushima everything from japan there are hundred seventy million of you watch that we've got more that dramatic footage of all coming up a little bit later in the program i can tell you that was one of the biggies it was a world changing but you also wanted the big names the big personalities of the time as well julian assange was one of them of course most recently for wiki leaks one million five hundred thousand of you nearly click. in to watch his series of special programs it was a big winner for you tube well let's find out what's behind the channel's popularity with me now is robert kissel he is google vice president and had a content at you tube delighted to have you with us today well we're so pleased that we've hit the billion markets normally they're kind of reserved for pop stars and funny cat videos why are more and more people turning to you tube for their views what's the what's the secret of the success because you're a pop star's. no it's. the amazing developments that we're seeing in russia and all around the world. there's of ratios appetite for online

video so as we expand capacity following video it gets very quickly filled up companies like r t are investing a lot of energy into developing their audiences online and they're responding obviously with your numbers what you think about the way people use the channel to get their agendas across the directly what you think about that i think what users generally appreciate its authenticity it's very apparent from everything that's going on on you tube so instead of having aspirational programming or agenda and propaganda us people really respond to authenticity what you saw happening with our spring for instance was authentic video footage that was happening when you saw in iran whatever managed to sort of break through it was all authentic the audience that watches this was with them to city and they bond with those who provided to them so. you know kudos to programmers who lean into the role because all thanks for coming to see us today much but thank you same to you and congratulations so as

well as the eye catching videos that got you clicking onto this you've also sought out our programs as well exclusive interviews with the world's news makers and those people who denied it mainstream platform but to trigger a vibrant discussion and huge interest. it's been a pleasure to meet you julian at least in this way and cheer up the globe of the sick you did. it's fundamental to our constitutional order and government doesn't just do they just spy on everybody permanently all the time put them in a class through. the past the people the syrian people who can speak ok to be castro gave me a piece of paper where he had written now i feel that i'm not the only devil that these summits bargo odd are wrong it's an act of war the soviet union is history and what we have today is a new russia how can we allow ourselves to be dominated by food because people

bruised up against the dictatorship against western influence against us influence now how can the united states see itself has the right for such popular movement governments just a word it's really just people that rule over other people. and of course there are those people who you choose to make the news that was a. while. gives evan a boy specially this guy shortly discover how his few seconds of fame changed his life completely and we're gearing up to show you how to safely land a plane in the middle of a russian forces when all the electrics have failed that it's a gravity defying story and it's coming up. one of the world's most harrowing natural disasters in recent years was that earthquake that struck japan in twenty eleven. and it was images like these as the world watched helplessly the become the most

watched topic on artie's you choose channel it wasn't just the scale of the earthquake and tsunami that shocked the world but then also the catalogue of failures and accidents at the fukushima nuclear plant which resulted in the worst nuclear disaster since chernobyl altie was one of the first channels to talk to a japanese journalist who braved into that exclusion area to document the radiation leaks immediately after the disaster i'm very pleased to say ted so jim joins us again today hi there love to see you again as a say you braved into that exclusion zone what made you go there when everybody else was leaving. well you know nor like you said no one was going in there and we were hearing lots of strange rumors about what's happening inside and there was no way to verify it unless someone goes you know someone actually goes in there and just wanted to be the first to see it and to show the world so that's very much their own only reason i went inside it's one who caused it on video it's nothing

when you're actually physically there to experience it and what did it feel like you describe it as a ghost town of color nothingness. well there's a there's nobody there was everyone there you know barricaded so there was no human being inside and all you see is actually a bunch of earning ml's pet dogs and cats or going around. obviously you know who are left behind the area was sort of farming zones but there was no no human beings in norcross no cars so i think it's fair to say it was just like a course you must have so many different emotions as well at the time is this something particularly striking maybe that you saw you witnessed you felt that didn't make it onto that video. well that's a thing you know that's the most here in thing about radiation you know the geiger counter shows how high that it's you just don't feel like being you know you know. it doesn't sting you you know you don't feel h e or anything the nuclear plant was

far from a stable condition sure may change any minute and there may be another explosion i think it's fair to say the clock has really stopped. it's good to see you again c.e.o. editor in chief of video news dot com thank you thank you very much well videos from local journalists were not the only ones to a massive attention artes you tube channel we dispatched a crew to japan after the earthquake hit to document the devastation the relief camps and the good survivors firsthand accounts artie's correspondents film to the fukushima area as those explosions struck some of the reactors we all recall as pictures crippling the cooling systems triggering melt our team also followed the scientists as they measured rising radiation levels and carried decontamination procedures in the aftermath of the disaster a live report from fukushima interviews and footage all amounting to one hundred seventy million views on artie's you tube channel. from street to salvation

next the story of how a single video an r.t.s. you tube channel changed the life of one man completely. you bet. you don't love. so meet ted williams today's a t.v. star difficult to believe isn't it a couple of years ago this guy was begging on the streets of ohio he didn't have a job he was a convicted criminal use drugs but all that changed after this video appeared on you tube was watched on our channel millions of times alone in this sun is holding up he simply offering the services of his god given voice in exchange for cash it's a policy that worked as well the office of work flooded in report next that on the trail of a man they call the golden voice on tru t.v. produces a video turned this guy from rags to riches. they will make you work for your dollar say something with that great radio voice when you're listening to nothing but the best of a.b.c. listening to ventricular you boys know when you're listening to nothing but the best of all these you're listening to magic ninety you point nine.

ted williams you became internationally known as the man with the golden voice after video of you went viral archie discovered your story and posted it on you tube in early two thousand and eleven since then your clip has received more than twenty six million views well how do you believe that has played a role in your success your exposure on you tube well you know a lot of people recognize me i'm probably one of the most recognizable faces in america by way of video and what was life like for you before your golden voice was discovered oh oh my god seventeen years of wandering aimlessly in the streets of columbus ohio eating out of garbage cans going to jail like it's second nature stealing smoking crack just no life at all no relationships with my mother whom i

have no no relationships with my children which i have now. i'm happier well now that you've reached the success what are your current goals with them to fifty six years old i'll be fifty six this year although i'll be fifty seven i think. time flies but yeah i'm looking like a five year goal i'd like to possibly. get a radio show and an escalator through to my two golden huskily belayed yes i want to mescaline i think that would do and pit of my eyes my success oh maybe this youtube clip will have people who know about radio show yeah i'm hoping i can promise you an escalator but maybe the radio all i can tell you this is truly a blessing and i believe it's a no by intervention of some sort of a modern day miracle even would. what i look like or whatever i knew when you were with me. you know it was a god given thing and i just wanted to acknowledge him and give him his props and i think he gave me my part. what

a success story that is we wish ted all the very best of luck as well sure going to see a lot more of him and actually is not the only one either who's on the road to thanking their lucky stars. now with cameras everywhere and lives these days you can nearly always get a front seat to the action but without the danger all because of videos like this you won't believe what you see here but it happened head on accident there the guy catapulted out of the screen obviously stunned as you would be let's replay it. becomes it's amazing that the guy got away with his life but he did. another one got a lot of hits one point eight million hits in fact you love this couldn't get enough split second decision by this pedestrian save his life in comes the car not quite sure what happened out of frame there in fact it must be more interesting because the driver wants to go and see what he's done there rather than check out on the pedestrian that he nearly killed and while you might think you're driving is ok what you do we're confronted with this slow car coming out she obviously puts the brakes on car goes into a spin one near misses or did in fact was

a lorry coming down the other way it didn't get that either there's a full perro it and carries on tells his passengers don't worry guys let's drive on and that's what he did and who says chivalry dead it's not take a look at this why you think this cyclist stopped in the middle of the road well he used his bike to bring down a pair of thieves on a motorcycle but there they go just to say that happened in southeast china it seems you couldn't get enough of this have a go hero but the absolute favorite lucky escape was that took love one five four airplane that crashed two and a half years ago in siberia but there was a happy ending all eighty one passengers survived tom barton covered this story my word it got some hits didn't it will take more than a minute to tell us remarks the story first it was an incredible story covered as as it unfolded this plane at thirty four thousand feet suffers an enormous power failure and the pilots somehow managed to find a disused airfield in the middle of rural russia and managed to land on this

airfield do a crash landing without any of the proper instruments that they were supposed to have the plane overshoots the runway by about two hundred meters again luckily there is some brush and small trees that the plane careers into all eighty one people on board managed to get off ok could have been such a mass no you had over two million hits for this reportedly of people watching it why the after are surprised at what i mean was it was it because of you know well it was because the story i down to dollars and into do with. it was. it was the incredible series of luck and skill that allowed this plane to land i think first of all there are lots of old russian planes flying old soviet models this was one of them wasn't massively surprising that there was an error but then again it was also the tough design of this plane that allowed it to stay together i'm not credibly bumpy landing and then we come to the scale of those pilots one of the ways in which they managed to judge the horizon was with

a glass of water because they had no instruments and then they managed to bring the plane down get all those people off safely i think many agree they rightly deserve the heroes of the russian federation awards for that lovely absolutely tom thanks for that no it was not only heroes of course a lot of your attention you also were interested in the feel of the slightly foolhardy to know tom we're going to take a look at some other pictures coming up in a second small footage these are some more popular clips of some stunning stunts but we must say don't try this hoax take a look. so

they're just some of the twenty thousand videos and shows we've already got lined up on our you tube channel for you and each and every day we're uploading more of the best footage more the best stories we don't want you to miss out you know where to find them we'll see you there.

point exactly this point by any means terrorism free speech is not absolute in my mind the moment that we start reforming our democracy it ceases to be a democracy to spy on everybody and keep all the time there in the usa released tyranny but israel does insists it's a democracy fundamental to our constitutional order and the government doesn't it can just spy on you just. a few people. very very dangerous people in. the middle of the bomb. an aircraft carrying the triple champion russian ice sucking team lokomotiv yaroslavl.

call it a quid pro quo that bernanke is made of the bankers are the scammers really and i'm sure in safety or is it just about making money again gaza is under military assault would you be israelis hope to achieve this time where these cuts come from simple. i mean truly. does hezbollah as a reply. to these occupation. please please please some inside name

of the muslim. last time pliable to the minute let. me take a minute. please . please. i've.

played. rage against the regime turkish police continue their crackdown on protests now into their fourth day as demonstrators vent fury at what they call an authoritarian government. u.s. army private bradley manning goes on trial facing

a possible one hundred fifty four years in prison for blowing the whistle on the alleged wrongdoings of the american army and action prosecutors view as aiding the enemy. becomes the first global t.v. channel to its called one billion you tube views we look at some of the online video hits you liked the most. on screen online international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. with you twenty four hours a day nationwide protests in turkey are raging for a fourth day now as demonstrators clashed with police in several cities protest as a demanding concessions from what they call the authoritarian regime of the prime minister and his party. is in istanbul with the latest.

people are just as determined to go back out on the streets whether they work whether they go to school whether they're any other way busy with their lives no they're still out here in huge numbers especially considering the fact that we now have a first officially confirmed death that is related to protests we have to mention the fact that yes that is on sunday. when the protests were underway a group slammed into a car has slammed into the group of protesters as a result of using one man has died and this is the first officially confirmed death there have been reports of at least two other deaths which have happened because of police brutality this is a separate entirely separate subject of course considering the fact that police have been you can see with the way they have been dispersing protests that is they use water cannons tear gas rubber bullets plastic bullets pepper spray basically all the arsenal that they have it's going all against the protesters which are now

of course the protests are now spreading old over turkey the major ones that. we're in of course in the. happening all over the place but of course the epicenter all the entire action remains. where people are out there at this point the prime minister erdogan is out of the country right now but he did earlier slam the protesters alcoholics extremists and. basically polluting the city and said that they are undermining the principles of democracy by going out on the streets in rather protest most of them are peaceful protests that is despite the fact that everyone has already gone into pressure from several human rights groups and several countries which were saying that the crackdown on protesters in such a brutal way is really not acceptable. when crews seen some of the heaviest clashes this monday and it's from there now we're joined by activists been desert truckie

who've been taking part in the protests so tell us why have you taken to the streets and what are you hoping to achieve by all of this or oh actually at first it started with a very peaceful just to protect a gives a park but then on the fourth day off the. protest is a park which was very peaceful people were just reading books or like you know evening stuff or just like communicating just normal ways and then police started to use. excessive tear gas and pressured one other on to the demonstrators onto the protesters and then it started to just grow. and what we want is we want to be able to. be understood by our prime minister and we we want we don't want to be ignored i mean like the streets

are very bad now like i am in our car and i always communicate with my friends who are in the protest now i have been protesting for the three days and now today i came home to rest so let me ask you this all started off as an environmental protests and the prime minister is now saying this whole demonstration has now been boy extremists with perhaps support from foreign interests he could be right there could you know. well i was in the street and what i saw was people just were helping each other because people they don't have a leader we didn't have a leader in the streets you know there are like some. very few people and actually. like what we think is a government or police probe locates them and just there few people are there they are like. could be extremists like yourselves obviously coming to offer

return i mean who in what way is that affecting your life i mean from the outside most people think the examine a pretty good life there so what are the problems to those examples well for for example like a week ago they. they said that they are going to ban. the purchase of alcohol from time pm till six pm and this is huge in turkey i mean you cannot just say if you are prime minister you cannot say that everyone is all color even if they drink just only one one glass of beer so this is an indication there's an element to his policies no in the state which is meant to be officially circular is something which is. well you have definitely i'm married to lose my circularity in this country sometimes and like this is not only wanting you know like in eleven of may we had

a huge attack like in the time. in the border with syria we had a huge bomb there in the explosion and lots of people died and even like after that there was not a really good explanation to the public are like i don't believe that. like the government didn't do what they should let you know happy with the guns foreign policies as well because obviously the attitude of the stance the turkish government is taking towards a syrian crisis is something which has been and that's only we should be like friendly with our neighbors not fighting with them we have been friendly retire neighbors for like years and years and now i don't know what has changed and we don't want people to die we only want to be free we want to have the freedom of speech and this is why iran is on the streets now while people are. in some ways you are getting the freedom of speech but tell us about the allegations of

police brutality surely if the police of confronted by people throwing stones and lots of cocktails they've got to do something haven't they they've got to respond. there hasn't been any most of cocktails there hasn't been any there have been a couple of just like a couple of storms and why because ok this is how it goes in the morning like around noonish people start to get together and police start to like troll tear gases with no like without any indication from the protesters right like there has been tear gassed like in the a year all day and night long but it never stops and right time ok so your story we've got to move on quickly because you're giving us an idea that it's very difficult to protest in the streets but therefore should you not be looking for a political solution to this demonstrations and in the streets don't seem to be working do that is a rippling to go way out of this well actually we are trying to but prime minister like ignores the protests all day and i mean he doesn't want to hear divorced from

the streets so what we want is all like both government and other reapers and to come together and try to solve this problem this is not only about a park this is not only about all called this is about like the like the turn year . it. started to come out so until you don't get any sort of door logo talks what are going to do with the protests hell for you going to go with all of this just briefly and. well to be honest. everyone. resists and iran insists to continue to the resistance but the lysol to might actually police is getting harder and harder so i don't know like there are a couple of times and i don't know will they will it continue like if people continue to die then i mean there is no i don't know what to do but we will say

we will continue to resist actually robbing you sir thank you very much indeed for giving us your point of view. thank you sir live from turkey thank you very much thank you. well human rights groups including amnesty international also hit out at the police brutality and excessive use of force or do you go to scott has the details and you may find some of the images in his report disturbing. water cannons do you gas and rubber bullets what started as an environmental protest provoked a full scale showed force from the police footage shows disoriented protesters slammed into the pavement by powerful water cannons and often the water's yellow because these are deliberately mixing in pepper spray people who are down on the ground trying to return to their senses here a young woman appears to be having a seizure and the police in action aid the people i can't resist

taking all this violence. they never just x. y. and. they don't use anywhere else but the police attacked severely using excessive force i wouldn't call it excessive force it's a monster torture actually similar footage is coming from around forty cities and towns across turkey there are claims the police are deliberately pumping tear gas into residential homes these are among the most violent protests turkey's seen in decades each day more people are wondering whether the government remembers turkey is a democratic republic. because i was wrong. that. they did nothing to. support us this is not only for talks and gezi park is the whole policy

of governments under pressure. for. for about ten years but according to prime minister erdogan the government is the one being oppressed he slammed the broadest as anti democratic and illegitimate accusing those on the street of being extremists organized by outside forces but protests on this scale take on the legitimacy of their own and human rights organizations are already severely criticizing the government's actions he would be school of art. observers say the unrest has been brewing for a long time as the government's actions have been seen by many turks as an oppression of democracy. this is like an eruption of of all can all concerning the policies of the prime minister have done in the recent years and in the recent months he has been mostly involving in the private affairs of the citizens and his way of speaking he's very of doing things has been also considered

to leave the democratic values to leave the republican values of the county but i think this is the first time in the last eleven years that the turkish government has experienced such a strong public your reaction the protesters the only one to remind the government in democracy the politicians cannot do things taking the people against them turkey is a democratic society and tired verdon is trying to get turkey into much more islamist structure based on the state. experience and it's not a strong reaction i think devalues of democracy and of islam it's understanding clashing now it will be not civil war but it will make the lives to prime minister very difficult in coming weeks and days.

the troops at risk by exposing government secrets the only people that put me and my friends in danger was members of the bush administration who lied to us about why we had to go to iraq lied to us about why we had to fight in iraq lied to us about why we had to stay in iraq for ten years costing the life of about five thousand american service members and of course hundreds of thousands more maimed did crippled and psychologically traumatized for the rest of their lives there are people who put american lives at great risk those people are those politicians who are now on million dollar book tours when they know that they have lied about the things that they sent us to war for people like bradley manning who did not lie but simply told the truth about what was happening is now facing life in prison i've been telling the truth did he know a the enemy that. well they're going to try to say that he even the enemy i'm not sure it is a heavy charge and saying that bradley manning gave this information with the

intention of getting into the hands of people who are trying to harm u.s. forces and that information will be used to carry out attacks on u.s. forces bradley manning have said why he released this document bradley manning is someone like me like many thousands of other young servicemembers who went into the military very idealistic very trusting of this government believing in what we are doing is was right only to witness the horrors of war the complete fallacy of why we were there the lies we're told by this government and decided to stand up and say something about it nothing has admitted to being one of we can leak sources but pleaded not guilty to valentin the espionage act well by protest stage in support of people saying the u.s. government is clamping down on the freedom of speech using the twenty five year old to set a threatening example to other potential whistle blows on his miniport not as. the military court martial against private first class bradley manning begins at a complicated time for the obama administration u.s.

journalists have been spied on an unprecedented number of whistleblowers have been in prison and access to the truth many say grows increasingly harder by the day we have a severe problem with transparency and secrecy in this country that's for sure our problem is a cult of secrecy extreme levels of dystopian secrecy washington classified ninety two million documents in the year two thousand and eleven that's the last count we have to put things in perspective what bradley manning leaked is less than one percent of that manning pleaded guilty to ten of the twenty two charges he faces the twenty five year old said he wanted the public to know how the u.s. military campaigns in iraq and afghanistan had little regard for human life it should be clear to anybody paying attention to bradley manning. thought of himself at the time of the whistleblower that he did what he did because he thought he was making the world a better place he's in no way a time american who has never expressed in t.

american sentiment seen any way in fact he's always said that he is and was driven by this sort of sense of patriotism and prosecutors however are pursuing a court martial on the remaining charges including the espionage act and aiding the enemy which carries a life sentence in prison in an interview with democracy now julian assange addressed washington's allegations that manning aided the enemy by going to wiki leaks if that president is allowed to be directed at both are interesting things closely. it means it's a potential death penalty for any person who really treats preaching to a journalist about a sensitive matter secondly it also. the journalist and the publication strain of communication they would say to the enemy and therefore making him susceptible as well to be espionage act which also has

capital offenses and that is that is the. u.s. that latter part is part of the u.s. attack. including myself bradley we hope this letter finds you healthy and strong daniel ellsberg known as the original whistleblower who leaked seven thousand government documents to the press in one hundred seventy one revealing the truth about the vietnam war more than here for decades later he says the u.s. government is going to even greater lengths to keep the public in the dark call of the war on truth telling truth telling specifically about truth the government doesn't want. truth about government crimes or law but the public needs to know. if military prosecutors successfully prove that whistle blowing is aiding the enemy then bradley manning could spend the rest of his life in prison
