i. think. it is a dangerous for example of national security extremism u.s. whistleblower bradley manning is conviction on charges ranging from espionage to computer fraud evoke a wave of international criticism with lawmakers in europe urging me a bomber administration to release the army private. the sentencing phase of this trial is underway now with manning facing decades in prison despite being acquitted of aiding the enemy. in the u.s. secretary of state heads to islamabad hoping to ease tensions with the new government there over america's controversial drone strikes on pakistani soil.

we're going even she just past eight pm now here in moscow kevin i mean they seize the international well bradley manning the newspaper found not guilty of one of the most grievous offenses under american law aiding the enemy as we found out in the last twenty four hours but it still staring at the prospect of life behind bars the sentencing of the twenty five year old army private responsible for the largest leak of classified documents in the country's history is now on the way but it's just the start of a process that could drag on for several weeks the trials already cause a strong reaction around the world and he's going to teach you can't report on the latest. the sentencing phase of the court martial is expected to last about a month during which the judge will decide how long bradley manning will remain in confinement many could spend the rest of his life in prison if the judge imposes the maximum sentence of one hundred thirty sixty years the judge will hear over twenty witnesses from the defense what will most probably follow the sentencing will be

a campaign to urge president obama to pardon bradley manning it's highly unlikely though that the president will do that considering this administration's overall crackdown the whistleblowers manning supporters were of course very happy about the fact that the judge found him not guilty of aiding the enemy because they say that a verdict like bad would have indirectly accuse the public of being the enemy and journalists for that matters specially journalists because it's the journalist who have publicized manning's leaks but nonetheless manning is found guilty of multiple other violations of the espionage act human rights organizations that criticize the verdict amnesty international said the government's priorities are upside down the u.s. government has refused to investigate credible allegations of torture and other crimes under international law despite overwhelming evidence yet they decided to prosecute bentinck who it seems was trying to do the right thing reveal credible evidence of a lawful behavior by the government that was from amnesty international julian assange choose website has published manning's revelations also commented on the

verdict here's what he said this is the first of a conviction against was blown united states you do is a dangerous person and an example on national security extremism is a sure sign a judgment that cannot be tolerated and it must be reversed. you can it would be the truth mation to the public is it's beyond many said he leaked the documents to wiki leaks to expose the u.s. military's quote blood lust and disregard for human life would be considered american diplomatic listening he said he chose information believe it would not harm the united states and he wanted to start a debate on military and foreign policy the defense portrayed manning as quote a young naive but good soldier much of the us media though together with the government have all but convicted bradley manning even before any trial took place we've seen protests throughout the country in support of bradley manning and more

importantly for the public's right to know but we have to recognize that manning supporters are in the minority polls show that the majority of americans consider him a traitor to a certain extent that's because he has exposed the u.s. government's wrongdoings abroad america's generally tend to care more about their rights their liberties and perhaps not so much about what their government is doing to other countries that could explain why the majority of americans are more sympathetic to edward snowden because he showed that americans rights were being violated also another factor bradley manning is wearing a uniform americans also have this or of the military and the fact that the military has committed all these crimes is a very bitter pill to swallow and many preferred not to swallow that pill so they conveniently label manning a traitor and if you can more broadly money was convicted on all but two of the twenty two charges against him let's take a closer look at them showing a do we had him he was the most serious charge of north america life sentence and in some cases capital punishment money was acquitted of that but convicted on

fifteen counts of espionage and theft of government property of all that he was found and also guilty of computer fraud along with related infractions committed while he was serving in the military all those crimes together mean a maximum sentence deed of one hundred thirty six years behind bars it was all put together well according to the general counsel of the national whistleblowing center the u.s. government more determined than ever to crack down on information leaks. there over reaction to the bradley manning case has been just to clamp down on or types of whistle blowing and that that's unfortunate there have been some advance moments in the law in the non national security or intelligence area but that's being divorced by the overreaction to this and also there's been an attack on the media not just in the intelligence community but all government agencies have been faced with a crackdown on whistleblowers because the obama administration sent out

a warning to all agencies to be on the lookout for leakers and to identify the leakers before they happen in response to the manning case or actions because if they can force the cases alone many lawmakers some of them of called on the u.s. government a free bradley manning heavy piece from france sweden spain portugal croatia the germany all signed a letter to president obama the u.s. defense secretary to say that manning is not a traitor in this. the best interests of his country at heart what he did what he did the lawmakers have also expressed their concern over the u.s. war on whistle blowers saying undermines democracy on both sides of the atlantic manning suffered too much to go on to say in spending over three years behind bars including ten months in solitary confinement the message is that manning should be free to soon as possible but we earlier talked to her in which scott says a member of the european parliament and one of the signatories to the letter sent to president obama you see here and he explained to us what was behind it. but it's

not only political gesture that there's also aiming at trying to communicate to the american public as well as to the administration and to the authorities we need to check up what is the picture on what is the content of this trial and we hope that our gesture is increasing awareness whistleblowing should be in the interest of the united states of democracy as the democracy in other states it's a part of the world we have to request to we are asked to to rethink the democratic behavior of the united states in the international community. took to the streets of new york and found the snuff there is strong support indeed for monday's case. union square has been something of a stomping ground for bradley manning supporters in new york city you see over the years many rallies have been held here in honor of the army private first class

intelligence analyst now manning has been found guilty of downloading and releasing confidential u.s. documents that subsequently disclosed illegal activity and crimes on the part of washington manning faces up to one hundred thirty six years in prison instead of telling you how the public is reacting to this news we're handing our microphone directly over to the citizens bradley manning didn't commit any crimes would be like as if you shot me and the camera man said hey i've got this footage of this crime and he. you know put it out there for justice and instead of trying you they try him it doesn't make any sense it whether it's mr manning or snowden. i think they're doing a good thing because the american people are basically enslaved and they're you know they're told what to do by the media and they follow orders it would appear to me that the manning verdict would be sending

a message to edward snowden i'm sure he's listening. but our hands in russia manning. abide by whatever we do i want to just salute bradley manning we were a supporter you if you look at the apache helicopter video which probably the most famous one. it's important for the american public at least know what is actually going on in the war i think something needs to be done as part of like this from a legal standpoint needs to be changed because like the american public needs to know about things like that now although manning has been acquitted of aiding the enemy charges he may be punished for the rest of his life for presenting the american public the truth reporting from new york for an up or nine our take. stuart and phil make a terribly told us he believes the verdict against bradley manning was designed to intimidate whistle blowers around the world. the fact that he didn't get the maximum penalty is so. psychological ploy it's

obvious that they want to keep bradley manning in prison for a long long time n.b.a. missed very clear to deter other whistleblowers i mean there could be no other possible am except to restrict the flow of information in what is hope ultimately a free society but it is closing down very rapidly so i think lead to a chair and it will not work because many young people come to these things fresh they don't train should we do it because x. was prime minister thing should we do it because what we are witnessing is utterly obscene and should be made known to american citizens and the world at large and of course we'll bring you all the latest bradley manning sentence hearing of fort meade maryland is that you ation continue to develop a view stay with us for those updates over the coming hours and days but for the present just a bit later in the program more talks but no agreement deep rooted feuds between the israelis and the palestinians look set to remain unresolved at least until next

april when the sides hope to come up with a quote final status deal we thought about that the break. well. technology innovation all these developments from around russia we've got the future covered. if the main competitor girl on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with to. fight for each drug from a dirty supplier. let people think your prices purer once. they use it up there and wash their hands. and flush their toilets with the same.
