this is r.t. in about an hour for no whistleblower bradley manning is set to discover whether blowing the lid off of american military wrongdoing will see him spend the rest of his days behind bars. israeli and palestinian diplomats meet in washington to revive negotiations after years of failed peace efforts things the latest lifesaving focusing on the screen now while in the palestinian city of pepper on the report from where the roots of the deadlock are most keenly felt. also to its full cost of a chinese slowdown cast a shadow over the global economic outlook we ask whether the numbers back up the pessimism.

that evening is kevin owen here with you this hour thank you for your company this is our two international so as a man should learn in just about an hour from now the twenty five year old u.s. army private responsible for the largest leak of classified documents the american history will have his fate decided if found guilty on the grave of charge of aiding the enemy bradley manning could be jailed for the rest of his life although he's going to shoot you can reports next the whistle blows already been sent by the public guilty before trial much of the u.s. media together with the government have all but convicted bradley manning look at it manning did what he did they ought to try him and they ought to put his ass for fight because he should be fine is to the fullest extent possible and what is that . you think he should be killed yes. by comparison here

he jeopardized he jeopardized national security that. he broke the law the president after all the commander in chief called him guilty before he years before he was on trial that's under command influence to the judge in this trial who is a military officer in thousands of leaked documents bradley manning has exposed many aspects of u.s. foreign policy through his warlock's the public has learned about war crimes committed by the u.s. in iraq and afghanistan perhaps best illustrated by the collateral murder video this classified footage showed the in these with which the crew of a u.s. apache helicopter killed civilians in iraq with the protesting support of bradley manning throughout the country you come across and inspirations of supporting places like this restaurant slash bookstore in washington d.c. and their supporters not so much for many visiting to be told that too of course but more importantly for the public's right to know. but manning supporters are in the minority poll it shows that the majority of americans consider manning

a traitor who cares whether the army killed some innocent people or not over in iraq we you know we don't want to we don't want to be a part of that we're very uncomfortable so if it's a complex issue and it's uncomfortable americans generally will pull back from it and it allows the media to fill that gap and portray bradley manning as a traitor it's been all too easy to label bradley manning a traitor perhaps because his revelations had to do with the u.s. government's wrongdoings abroad. polls show that americans are more sympathetic to snowden perhaps because these revelations are about their rights their civil liberties so they care more but if some iraq is right they apparently care last some argue that politics and timing have also played a role in the media coverage of bradley manning's case this had happened during the war and he was wiki leaks got the stuff out scooped all these major media outlets right as the bush administration was ending and the war was still an issue and

something that was raw the american psyche might be something different but we're short attention span people so three four five years later he's a traitor three four five years ago he might have been a hero the main narrative that the us government has put forward and it was effectively delivered by the us media was that many revelations have endangered us national security but the conversation that's been avoided is that perhaps the government's killing of civilians with drones and otherwise has generated more enemies for the united states then greatly manning's revelations in washington i'm going to check on. well money league some seven hundred thousand diplomatic and military documents to the whistleblower website wiki leaks let's take a look shall we how it all unfolded first off bradley manning enlisted in the u.s. army back in two thousand and seven he was deployed to iraq two years later while in service he exposed the collateral murder video we all remember it footage of

u.s. forces killing unarmed civilians in iraq manning was arrested at the end of may twenty ten and presented with a list of charges for opening classified information to the public however the publications continued to be released and exposed exposing america's wrongdoings in afghanistan and iraq along with his diplomatic cables in march manning was accused of aiding the enemy the court martial proceedings against him began shortly after that with the u.n. saying that he was subject to cruel and inhumane trade treatment during detention a high profile trial funny. got underway in fort meade in maryland and it's about to end of course in roughly an hour's time government fed and is the director of the london based center for investigative journalism a close friend of julian assange he stresses that manning's actions were not driven by any personal gain. he thought that the crimes committed by the army should be made public and what they're admitting to was the fact that he broke the law in getting those documents and sending them out to wiki leaks the justice of what he

did is another matter and i think in that most people are agreed except those who regard him or america is a traitor most people would agree that indeed he did it as an act of conscience certainly heat attempted to publish these documents in the new york times the washington post and other sources but none of them would do it until they were a wiki leaks that then they all took up the case but it's a very strong case that nobody would gain from this certainly not bradley manning who was affected or abused very badly of solitary confinement so badly abused and cracked their senior state department official resigned in protest the fact that the court will accept that as evidence of cruel and unusual treatment is to me quite astonishing so as the clock ticks down the reviving you to stay with our t.v. ongoing coverage of bradley manning's trial we'll be covering up verdict in depth in the next hour at r.t. dot com we want to get involved as well we're asking what sentence you think bradley manning is going to get here this is what you're telling us as you can see on the board the vast majority of you believe the whistleblower should be found not

guilty seventy eight percent they say and on it indeed as a hero just over ten percent in this out think suspended sentence is appropriate enough some of you think he should be executed or at least end his days in jail the minority insist money should spend two decades behind bars plenty of time a course not really interested in what you think about this what to cast your vote comes a place to. meet the six hours with child surgery in. our . party you. take a look some other news now today and the u.s. has been hosting top israeli and palestinian aides hoping to revive peace negotiations that have been. all for almost three years the sides of major disagreements over issues such as borders and security and few expect a compromise to be reached washington wants to broker an agreement on a so-called two state solution which would allow israel to co-exist peacefully

alongside a new palestinian state but the burning problems to deal with continued to be israeli settlement expansion the fate of palestinian refugees and the status of jerusalem as well live shots as you can see on your screen now the resumption of talks is extremely unpopular among the palestinian people who want israel to return all the lands seized in the one nine hundred sixty seven war but in a gesture to restart diplomacy tel aviv just this sunday approved the release of one hundred four palestinian prisoners yet thousands more remain locked up in israeli jails our middle east correspondent paula slew of the reports next from a town where the divide is most bitterly felt. hebron to israeli settlers seen through the barbed wire that protects us of a she's home his is the only outhouse left in the tell the maid a neighborhood in the center of ancient hebron. she lives on one side of the street

second holiest site of the jewish people in all the world and only since we've come back this everybody who wants access to the holy sorry. able to go in and worship there these radios justify the road closures arguing they protect the settlers who live here but palestinians say it's often done for no other reason than to make their lives difficult and you have the often soldiers prevent me from crossing for no reason it depends on their mood whenever they feel like it they refuses permission. all of abu ayyub she's arab neighbors have left this part of hebron the city is made their lives a living hell but he says he's taking a stand one step at a time policy r.t. hebron. the palestinian militant group hamas took over gaza back in two thousand and seven after winning a majority in legislative elections a year earlier it's classified by some countries that was a terrorist organization still. the same from the hamas interior ministry says

israelis won't sacrifice a dime for the palestinians. actually this is a new call for the palestinian israeli negotiation is coming from the american administration so they can want to make some. special that mr obama didn't do anything in this case it during the last period this negotiation will fail especially the israelis will give nothing for the palestinians and the only thing they're looking for their security. and sort of medicine and. actually is not given the right from the palestinian to negotiate and to give up our lands and. seeing in constant cases. we talk to dr aide a political analyst from the alexy university in gaza he says neither side is ready to take up obligations required by international law. international law guarantee

is that i have to sort of determination to the palestinian people and that i had to save the ten minutes of the palestinian people entails one that i thought of more than seven million palestinian refugees are scattered all over the world living in miserable conditions in miserable but if camps all over the world action of their right to return also international law guarantees that i took the quality of more than one point two million palestinian citizens of the state of israel and who are to meet that second if not third class citizens but also international no guarantees that i of you know palestinians in the gaza strip and the west bank to live freely and free from direct military occupation and i don't think that you know that is sumption of the negotiations means that the palestinians and there is a will be able to deal with these serious issues coming up on our two pakistan seems to have elected its new leader will tell you more about that in a few minutes but whether it's going to help rid the country of the blight of u.s. drone raids which have killed scores of people remains in doubt more now than

play. play play play clean. and. well again china's similar unstoppable economic rise appears to be leveling off with g.d.p. growth now at a twenty three year low some economists are already heralding a long term slide down to three percent in the coming years big banks are voiced alarm over the numbers from china which come at a time of recession over in europe too of course and deep financial problems in the u.s. but despite the naysayers the chinese government remains staunchly optimistic pressing ahead with the reform plans and setting an ambitious seven point five percent growth target this year so are we seeing the end of the chinese economic miracle or

not or are the doomsday predictions premature artie's business correspondent katie pilbeam investigates. china despite enjoying phenomenal growth over the last three decades is not immune to the overall global slowdown and as an economy reliant on external investment and demand the cracks are beginning to show. as it currently stands a chinese economy is expected to grow a modest seven point five percent by their standards having enjoyed a nearly ten percent average growth for the past thirty years now some point five percent is certainly not a disaster this figure acquaints of the whole of switzerland economy one of the wealthiest countries in europe so china's growth was to stay at this rate because you would be adding the whole of the swiss economy to its balance sheet every year but nevertheless the economy is slowing so what is being done to get the chinese

economy to accelerate a bit more and avoid this three percent scenario what happened chinese whispers that the government is planning to implement a huge spending package to boost the country's gross flushing out a new route ways and in the start up the government also intends to dig itself out of debt most of the country's risk comes from having high death and bad loans now all of this sounds bad it's nothing compared to the situation in europe where the year area is expected to contract and over in the u.s. growth is expected to reach just below two percent and china's spello emerging markets are expected to go five percent a share the fact remains that while china is some point five percent growth may be ruffling a few feathers most of europe can only dream of being able to fly our high dose of churn is a professor at the university of hong kong and says china is stumbling because of temporary cycles of the global economy but the leaderships groups always set on

long term structural reforms. it is cyclical in the sense that the external and merriman is unfavorable and hopefully when us economy branded european economy improves and the chinese economy may do better it is structural into sandstad china has to change and transform is economic development model it cannot be pan all the time on cheap exports new leaders. and parents be ready to suffer from a slowing down of the economic growth rate and gage in structural reforms so as to deliver better at a later stage it was by james projecting much needed cash into the infrastructure of greece and raising hopes that the debt ridden country could become a gateway for trade and investment between china and europe as artie's ego peers

cannot provide enough. this is not the set of a movie about the post-apocalyptic world but the old international airport this is what six years of recession twenty seven percent of unemployment and billions of euro in debt look like to me very well be the perfect reflection of the greek economy and since its creditors or the demand that raises nearly seventy billion dollars by the year twenty twenty two it has to sell off its state assets and here is where the chinese come in beijing is only planning to purchase the abandoned facility but is also looking at leasing the current working international airport it's also attracted other countries like russia and the u.s. but there's a great chance that that deal me also go to china back in two thousand and nine china's cos course the shipping company you least half of reese's largest port in rafa is worth thirty five years and local authorities say it's completely revitalized it's a win win situation great business for costco and millions of euro in tax revenues

for greece in fact things have been going so well athens is now considering leasing the second half of the board beijing is once again interested to turn it into the number one seed in the mediterranean from here chinese products are put on trains and then distributed throughout the e.u. there are no prizes for guessing who wants to snap up the greek railways as well but this chinese takeaway doesn't end all the infrastructure greek food products or virgin all of all to be exact are stirring up an appetite in china last year the country became reeses number four export market and officials here say they used to think was a long term priority announced top of the list so as the. various measures and demands a new job in the reduction of salaries china is storming in on a white horse bringing big business is considering covering some of this is that which is great news. for the greek economy and given that many other southern e.u.

countries are also in dire straits china would just be flexing its muscles you want to spin off athens. about the chinese government's opening a window into its military machine but online for the first time ever a key army base outside beijing that is journalist take a stupor and find out what's behind the move to transparency on our web site plus to know hiding on the ground now if you were writing a moscow metro will soon know the movements tracked by the police reveal the city's plans to stop the troubles with the thousands of data sensitive senses will find out why check out. the scene. first for you and i would think that your. orders would.

be and. this is r.t. early results show the pakistani lawmakers have elected satan from the ruling party as the country's next president it's two months since pakistan at its first democratic transfer of power through a general election but it seems no matter who is at the helm one controversial issue continues to plague the country the cia led program of deadly drone strikes with a militant group promising reprisal attacks now for each u.s. rate retired senior air force officer sultan ali told us islam about its hands are tied. the new government which had in all resorted to a lot of rhetoric in the run up to the elections especially during the electoral campaigns it had promised that it will bring an end to the controversial drone attacks but it seems that there is been a reality check given to the new government by the americans that the aid which

comes through. through loans and other things will be stopped unless the government of pakistan goes the line so therefore it does appears to be business as usual although the number of drone attacks have in fact increased with the new government coming in there have been only lip sympathy paid there have been in number of protests but there has been nor a stance taken due to take it up with the u.s. government that is drawn strikes must stop john kerry the u.s. secretary of state is likely to visit this week and maybe it has taken up a term but i personally have very little hope from that because if something had to be done in a concrete manner it would have been done the worst thing is that with the new government taking over it's been nearly fifty days but the number of terror strikes have actually increased. well until we can report the pakistani violence is raging on in world news in brief twelve people have been killed during a taliban assault on a prison in the northwest where some of the group's senior fighters are being held

officials said about two hundred fifty inmates escaped during the attack carried out by more than a hundred men disguises offices and a squad of suicide for the fight went on for over three hours forcing prison officials to call in on. the eve foreign policy chief says egypt's topos president morsi is well and has access to television and newspapers in its national networks leader but says she doesn't know where he's being held morsi is being detained since being overthrown by the military on july the third scores of his supporters have been killed in clashes that followed the. series of deadly blasts of of the city of karma in northern nigeria hey hospital sources up to twenty eight people were killed in the attack there the explosions ripped through a crowded christian neighborhood of the mainly muslim city the same districts it already been targeted in the past by nigeria's block or around islamist group since the beginning of the islamic insurgency in two thousand and nine over two thousand

people have been killed. as a say we're waiting to hear more about bradley manning in the next hour since we get it we'll bring it to you hoping about for a rolling coverage without them from half an hour's time coming up next though all the world's financial power players involved in a real life one openly boardgame good question best posed to answer that the max kaiser is here in a couple of minutes. all . the music secret lover touring to mccurdy was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a dollar amount anything tunes mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and. this is why you should care only on the dot com.

am x.-prize or leftwich rumors of bounded that as bro was going to introduce a new monopoly board game without jale finally commentators thought it was going to reflect the real world of american oligarch of capitalism where there is no such thing as jail for the elite players. but no the wall street journal report was wrong typically as bro said there would in fact be jail in the game of monopoly version as there always has been jail now for more on this return to stacy herbert yes max because hasbro even a game justice is sacrosanct they are saying of course there's no such thing as having no jail in monopoly now the reason why they say that they have a new game coming out is because apparently young people don't have the attention span to spend more than half an hour in

a team so they're trying to shorten and that was one of the ways it's just get rid of jail but you know it also gave away i think the wall street journal how they see the game being played by the players on wall street is that they don't have a have to go to jail so we see that the first headline s.a.c.'s cohen risks lose some fortune while keeping his freedom stephen a cohen founder of a fourteen billion dollar hedge fund indicted and what the u.s. calls an unprecedented insider trading scheme faces a future without a fund or a multibillion dollar fortune on the other hand he won't be behind bars oh yeah well steve you cohen has got the you know version of the monopoly board where there is no jail you see steve biko mistake and he's making it real easy going and you know he doesn't want jail steve biko and you know he's got he's re-inventing the game using that stuff but you know there's a general out here somewhere go to jail though you know they're going to.
