this is r.t. coming to life from the russian capital and marina joshua welcome to the program. crowds of protesters have been gathering in cities all over the u.s. voicing their fury over the recent acquittal of george zimmerman he was cleared of murder after the shooting of unarmed black teenager trayvon martin in florida last year the court's ruling has been widely branded as racist are going to count has more we've seen protests in dozens of cities in the u.s. throughout the week following the verdict in the george zimmerman case people took to the streets demonstrating at courthouses and police stations throughout the country demanding justice for trayvon martin the seventeen year old black man who was shot dead by a neighborhood watch volunteer dozens of people were arrested most of the arrests were made on charges of on law from the families some places like the salmon and

you don't protests turned violent demonstrators who walks in passing cars the president america's first black president spoke from the heart on friday when you recall some of the instances when he had been booked upon with suspicion for no apparent reason just because he's black but the president also tried to put out the fire a protest that basically saying as much as you don't like the verdict don't blame the jury and the judge blame the existing law many many americans for many many americans were following the zimmerman trial it's obvious that racial disparities in the application of criminal laws in america remain all these people think had trayvon martin being white he would have been alive even president obama thinks so the civil rights activists here it's obvious that george zimmerman followed trayvon martin because he was the seventeen year old trayvon martin the book people in his own neighborhood with a pack of skittles can is in his pocket having done nothing wrong the jury apparently found that although it was a bad judgment on the part of george zimmerman to pursue the young man but when the

to confront each other cement acted in self-defense the fact of the matter is that under florida's stand your ground law the defense doesn't even have to prove that their client is an angel it's enough to prove reasonable doubt that the defendant acted in self-defense and they're free to go so in this case you have a question. if it were a civil rights vigilantes guns then self-defense laws these people see a clash between the law and just a very recent example also in the state of florida a black woman a mother of the week was sentenced to twenty years in jail because she fired a bullet at a wall to scare off her abusive husband nobody was injured and the woman is in jail for twenty years while george zimmerman walks free but you see the faces of these people outraged. president obama also said that he could easily have been in trayvon martin's position thirty five years ago meanwhile university of minnesota professor elisa albert who was among those for testing in her state told us that the case reflects a deep racial bias in the u.s.

legal system all the data shows the justice system in this country is racialized from the moment of impact police arrest more people holier than white people. are convicted in greater numbers they serve sentences that are longer and there are greater numbers of people color in prisons in the united states are given in in terms of their population so we already have all that data and that this we see. this mayor has been acquitted so now it's time for our government to hear our words . also have ringgit us our resisting us territory greek or curse walk out of the nationwide strike and take to the streets for mass rallies but fail to stop their government slashing yet more jobs our report from athens is on its way. and also a hand for you old feuds are reunited in northern ireland as loyalists refuse to

stop their protests until they are granted permission for a highly controversial parade route passing through a sectarian flashpoint that's coming up. russian opposition activist and anti-corruption campaign are i'll explain a volley was sentenced to five years in jail for investment but released on bail the next day after a surprise request from prosecutors. has been following what's been dubbed russia's most controversial trials in years to reform. five and four years in prison and into that if it's ever spent at sea for setting up a dummy corporation and defrauding a state owned company to the tune of half a million dollars the judge insisted the verdict was not politically motivated but for a media the blogger supporters and opposition activists declared otherwise one gets the theme people have already made up their minds before the case even started before the trial even started and that they're not actually looking at the facts of

the case or of the way the trial was actually conducted but all simply following their own opinions which they formed in advance what kind of coleman said is that someone like mr nevaeh should be prosecuted on this going to charge because he is a famous opposition personality now that seems to me to put things completely the wrong way round thousands of people in most years in the square a stone's throw from the kremlin indignant at the verdict clooney. an immense police presence and if east of panic and social media for a while it looked like the situation could escalate. but there was a curveball from the prosecutor's office a request of enough to serve until their verdict comes into effect in the immediate arrest and preliminary detention to stick to measure as you put in spokesman said there was nothing unusual about the trial or the prosecutor's appeal stressing that the president cannot and does not influence the court decisions and that those

convicted should carry out their punishment as prescribed by the judge and his blog that he was ready for a long term preliminary confines and ordering books from the library and battling mosquitoes and himself but he spent less than twenty four hours and attention before being released from this court house straight into the arms of his supporters eager for his campaign to continue so who is the self-appointed opposition figurehead who's running for mayor of moscow a lawyer by profession not only spent the better part of the last few years flirting with nationalistic movements as well as leading a popular blog exposing large scale corruption and trying to make a for a into politics his trial the verdict and the surrounding media frenzy may have been closer to that goal he can according to your earlier report russia moscow city he can give us many interviews as he likes it's not actually published as a godsend for him it doesn't remove him from politics at all it's the absolute ideal solution for him in a sense that it's been referred to

a broad as russia's mandela moment perhaps too bold a claim the b.b.c. has the state run where british broadcasting corporation calls it rushes mandela and they've been running stories all day just previously you know bill keller the executive editor of the new york times used nor did this man you know novell me you already outlined his nationalist views here in this country we have laws against incitement ready semitism incitement to or near knocks ism which of course this man has flirted with repeatedly. although he may not be major household name in russia it. seems to have some serious support abroad he is paid by or has been paid by the united states of america when he set up a democratic alternative party a year or two ago it received money from the ne d. the ne d. is the national endowment for democracy funded by the us congress that was the main organization funding the orange revolution in ukraine back in two thousand and four novell nice party received money then from the american state as wiki leaks showed

not so long ago it even goes quite central and of ali is being portrayed by the international media as a spear hand of russia's liberal opposition but as marx the bold and sociology researcher at moscow state university explains some of his radical beliefs are glossed over. i think that russia are actually paying attention to some of the particulars of the case and they are familiar with of all me is a political figure in quite a different way than he is conceived of in the west and the west of all the is is presented as a poster boy for a liberal opposition and he's a commonly referred to as the most popular leader of the liberal opposition and a potential threat to president putin the facts on the ground really don't lay this out russians really aren't that interested in in the type the brand of politics that he's selling them and that's because what is often on presented in the west is

a turkish military base to launch an attack on syria that information revealed by sources earlier this week has been rejected by the turkish government which also condemn any media mention of it the alleged israeli attack was in the talk in early july and the strike is believed to have targeted a russian made anti-ship missile battery. which syria received two years ago while this is the fourth on going for an israeli attack on syria in recent months and military compound outside damascus was bombed from the air twice in january and in may rockets struck a warehouse at the capital's international airport allegedly containing surface to surface missiles and on all occasions the attacks were justified as operations to wipe out iranian missiles bound for has been in lebanon well my colleague from various ashame spoke to journalist manteo and writer who's extensively covered the conflict in syria he said turkey. turkey remains israel's top ally in the region no

matter what's happened between them. this pint of the critics of prime minister in the in the past years especially in turkey is still a very important ally and maybe maybe the most important and in the region what's more important for turkey then getting rid of assad or keeping on good terms with the rest of the regional players turkey is we have to remember a very very important nato member and turkey knows that it is acting also for the nato turkey is now providing the military bases for the nato patriot rocket system which are directed against syria so turkey knows how to connect its own let me tell it to amman dream of being the leading power in the region and with its role playing in the nato and the nato is. syria very aggressive in this it can vary

a little teary especially the united states but what do you think of such cooperation between some of the syrian government's toughest rivals in the region mean now for the assad regime well i don't think that this is a huge change for all the general situation because. what's supporting in the past the so-called rebels in this what the media claim it is a civil war but it's in the reality since a long time approx ebor we have right now militants from more than twenty five nations fighting in syria against the syrian government and of course east road was supporting the rebels they were they were they fall and arms and weaponry made from . the revenue side and turkey also is supporting in a strong way the rebels on syrian soil. so despite their recent unfriendly ratter in turkey and israel remain in an alliance against a common enemy the syrian government actually dot com we're looking at the likely

whistleblower on the run adverts now that is waiting for his temporary asylum request in russia to be approved the cia leak her well will then be able to have safe haven for a year after being stranded in the transit zone of the moscow airport for over three weeks one snowden gets the paperwork he'll finally be able to leave the airport and will enjoy the same rights as annie russian citizen it is unclear how long he'll stay in the country however to get asylum the fugitive x. and it's a contract there had to agree not to release any more leaks harmful to the u.s. but jim kellogg from the open rights group hopes he'll resume releasing materials as soon as he can. i hope it doesn't mean that he has to not talk about what the united states have been up to in broad policy terms i mean he's been very careful not to threaten individual peroration is not to expose particular agents or to make claims which would result in people safety being compromised rather he's

been talking about the rewards programs that the united states and the u.k. have been dealing with he says he's got a lot of material and i certainly hope he has more to tell us it does seem that way aides completely change the debate right now it is very important not to bait keeps happening i think a lot of things are happening in the wake of that there were at least two legal actions being launched in the u.k. on the back of what he's revealed to expect will be more in the usa the tech companies are challenging on the basis of their own free speech and also to clear the names of i will speak going on so there is a lot to happen whether or not he's got more material to give but i really would like to see whether he has got more to say and i hope he does. so if russia does prove to be just a stopover for snowden he could soon be heading to latin america several national leaders there have been willing to extend a helping hand to the thirty year old so let's see where exactly he could end up

well grand land where in the world the man is released much of what snowden leaked things venezuela is the best option believe he is also among the front runners especially after the grounding of its president's plane in europe caused such anger nicaragua says it's willing to grant asylum after receiving application from snowden and ecuador is another option despite the u.s. urging it not to provide refuge for snowden as it did for wiki leaks founder julian assange. and while snowden has been scrambling to avoid prosecution the trial of a fellow whistleblower is nearing its end in the u.s. the closing arguments in the trial of bradley manning could come as soon as friday and he is facing life in prison the army private is accused of aiding the enemy in handing over thousands of classified military documents to wiki leaks for the details of the ongoing case here's our. private first class bradley manning faces

several charges twenty one total the most serious of which is aiding the enemy the other charges range from computer fraud to theft of government property and asked be a notch if convicted of that most serious charge manning could spend his life behind bars without the possibility of parole even if he is not convicted of aiding the enemy the remaining charges amount to one hundred fifty four years behind bars this week the judge could have dropped that aiding the enemy charge but she decided not to manning already spent some serious time in prison about three years before his trial even began now the trial is in its final stages we should hear closing arguments next week that it's up to the judge and this court martial to decide the verdict now this comes at a time of great debate over whistleblowers in the country many see manning as a hero but his opponents see him as a traitor for exposing government secrets these secrets include iraq and

afghanistan war logs and videos of air strikes one ton of obey detainee assessments and diplomatic cables many activists believe the outcome of manning's marcel could set an example for future whistleblowers a glaring example for us is n.s.a. leaker edward snowden many points of manning's pretrial treatment and heavy handed charges as an example of what's to come for snowden should he set foot in the u.s. leading up to the trial and during the trial there have been several demonstrations in support of manning the next major one being organized by manning support network is set for july twenty seventh it's the international day of action for bradley manning the group is calling for protests in several cities throughout the u.s. and abroad here in fort meade maryland live all our team. on just a few minutes we will gather corporate interests behind a conversational world of genetically modified food stay with us.
