is really. a welcome it's good to have you company watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow with meg and. now private bradley manning was this week found guilty of america's biggest leak of restricted information with almost all charges in his court martial standing although he was cleared of the most serious charge of aiding the enemy he still faces more than one hundred thirty years in prison so let's take a look at how it all unfolded bradley manning was deployed to iraq in two thousand and nine he soon exposed the collateral murder video showing the civilians there being killed by u.s. troops but after a series of online chats with a hacker manning was turned into the government and arrested for more revelations followed exposing iraq and afghanistan war logs along with diplomatic cables all

published by wiki leaks in march twenty levin manning was accused of aiding the enemy charge that could have kept him behind bars for life and while waiting for his court martial the u.n. described manning's prison treatment as in the main but the judge did not allow the global bodies torture inspector to testify the high profile trial in fort meade mary land led to guilty verdicts in nineteen of the twenty two charges against him we can leak spokesperson kristinn hrafnsson believes far from stopping leaks manning's case will lead to even more possibilities of secret data coming to light . he is obviously facing a long time in prison especially when you think about how this trial has been carried out by judge lindh one is not filled with any optimism only last week. to allow the prosecution to change some of the charges on the last stage of the trial

. the trial has been partly closed off to journalists to journalists have been intimidated we have seen that despite the way that bradley manning was treated. being tortured in prison in isolation in solitary confinement for almost a year it has not stopped whistleblowers and there are still brave people out there who act on their conscience and to with the public interest in mind we have seen though a new era beginning and an expansion of the limits of journalism while the founder of wiki leaks the website which released the data handed over by bradley manning playing the whistleblower never received a fair trial gina saunders also lambasted the u.s. government for its radical national security. this is the first ever espionage conviction against was that low in the united states it is a dangerous person and an example of national security experience. is the short

sighted judgment that cannot be tolerated and it must be reversed it can never be taken very intrusive mation to the public is we are. some supporters of bradley manning have drawn up a petition claiming they would see the whistle sentence in parts more than one thousand seven hundred people have signed the request and plan on submitting it to the man in charge of reviewing the private sentence oh it is more important i went out to the streets of new york to listen to what people had to say on the. 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 is 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 and it doesn't make any sense it would appear to me that the manning verdict would be sending a message to edward snowden i'm sure he's listening. you know because it's a really similar situation and 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 if you look at the apache helicopter video which probably the most famous one. for the american public

at least you know what this is actually going on in the war. single word fighting at that point i just hope maybe somebody like obama. may be doing is the last leg you use a lame duck president decides to blood money 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 with the truth reporting from new york for an up or nine are take some interesting opinions there but it's still light to hear what you think about manning sentencing you can take part in the ongoing poll of r.t. dot com to express your opinion so this type. looking so far. around seventy seven percent of you believe he's not guilty at the moment and believe he is a hero fifteen percent say he should receive a suspended sentence of several years the remaining fraction four percent believe he should receive twenty years in jail and then the remaining of the remaining four

percent believe he should receive capital punishment or a life sentence now you can change these figures or you do have to do is go to r.t. dot com. one chapter in edward snowden saga was closed this week the u.s. whistleblower on the run has finally left the transit limbo of a moscow airport where he's been stuck for more than a month snowden has been granted temporary asylum in russia and has already received some job offers including one from russia's biggest social network while his whereabouts at the moment remain unknown artie's lindsey friends recaps the media's chase for the former n.s.a. contractor. on sunday june twenty third when reports surfaced that the u.s. is newest whistleblower edward snowden was in russian airspace on a flight from his hong kong hideout every journalist knew the weekend was over and they all screamed here to section eight of sheremetyevo airport snowden and his

wiki leaks advisor sarah harrison are a no show reporters found out that snowden and his advisors were due to be on a flight to cuba the next day so what did they do search around the nearest hotel to get a good night's sleep before getting on that flight. june twenty fourth dawns the doors to the flight close seat seventeen a is empty galleys and restrooms are searched the cargo hold is suspected a drinks trolley is found in business class hangovers are reported june twenty fifth president putin confirms that snowden is still in the transit area of the airport foreign minister sergei lavrov dismisses a u.s. request for extradition the stakeout continues because you just never know when he'll come out from hiding everyone with the press badge gets to know airport food courts and the coin operated massage chairs very well july second wiki leaks says snowden is seeking asylum in nineteen more countries including china cuba nicaragua

venezuela and india. the next day at another airport this time in austria drama unfolds the president of bolivia is plane is forced to land on suspicion that snowden is on board the heat and the debate turns up on the heels of this bolivia nicaragua and venezuela make their offers of asylum well known denouncing the pressure exerted by america but one little problem remains getting to any of these destinations without falling into the hands of american law enforcement it was here on the second floor terminal where snowden held a conference with human rights activists and with his advisors made the announcement that he was scared to fly not for heights and that he was thinking of asking russia for asylum video and photos make it out of that meeting and are quickly uploaded for our stories finally we have something to bring back to our newsrooms now the wait for the paperwork in this case

a response to snowden scribbles on a blank sheet hey whatever works staff only this unassuming door here on the first floor of the terminal at the airport was headquarters july twenty fourth when everyone thought anatoly snowden's russian advisor would be bringing that very important piece of paper from immigration services allowing him to exit the airport instead all he brought were a bag of books some new clothes and a healthy dose of consolation for snowden and the journalists. until august first when they know himself shows the press that fateful document making edward snowden free to travel through the russian federation until july thirty first two thousand and fourteen he says edward is gone and his lips are sealed. due to the fact that he's the most wanted person on planet earth today he would be concerned about the issue of security that includes questions of safety and the place where he is going

to live that's all up to him as he was where we consoled and advise him but on other. shoes it's up to him according to our sources when a plane from paris was emptying out he took his chance jumped in to lend and. edward snowden had flown and and then walked out nearly unnoticed much to our chagrin in moscow lindsey france r t. well one of the conditions moscow how to earliest said that taking snowden was that he stops harming washington with his leaks in an interview to a russian t.v. channel the whistle blowers father said his son has already done enough public good to abide by that request with a i understand there's tremendous political interest and at this point our government i suspect is somewhat angry about the way this is has turned out i am again thankful to the russian people president vladimir putin and anatoly koocher enough for the courage the string the humanity that they have demonstrated

and what i believe is this noble action of protecting my son and keeping him safe as a father he needs to respect the president who request i believe my son's work is done with this in terms of he has made a tremendous sacrifice to let the american people what has been done to them and in their name and i am again so thankful to the people of russia and we managed to speak with political analyst dmitri babbitt she said russia had no other choice but to grant snowden temporary asylum. i think that snowden is a very special case because he didn't serve any foreign government what he did he did on his own and he revealed this information to press the foreign agents i am pretty sure that the united states would shield such a person if he had been over russian origin and if he had been found in the united

states russia i think was a lot very willing to have him here i think it's clear from mr bush's statements that he was not particularly. but the question is so what could do if he had delivered mr snowden out of the united states mr snowden would probably face life imprisonment in the united states so no civil west country can do it or this country won't be respected. as you might expect russia's decision to take snowden in was met with fury in washington the white house hinted september's summit between president obama i'm glad to meet putin ninety nine be cancelled but all the hype over snowden's asylum is diverting public attention from what he's actually wanted for back home he's damning revelations he explains. the moment edward snowden walked out of that moscow airport russia became the object of washington's wrath we heard calls for president obama to boycott the g. twenty summit in russia the president's press secretary said washington is quote

unquote extremely disappointed with moscow's decision on snowden and that it undermines the growing cooperation between russian and u.s. security services certain members of congress used even harsher term senator chuck schumer said russia has stabbed us in the back and each day that mr snowden is allowed to roam free is another twist of the knife senator lindsey graham says americans in washington should consider this a game changer in our relationship with the bushes and john mccain goes it is a slap in the face of all americans we cannot allow today's action by put into a stand without serious repercussions of course for many politicians here attacking snowden and russia is much easier than defending the surveillance state the white house keeps repeating this mantra mr snowden is not a whistleblower he is accused of leaking classified information and has been charged with three fairly felony counts and he should be returned to the united states polls show the majority of americans actually disagree with the white house

on whether or not mr snowden is a whistle blower they think it is so what else they disagree with a gallup poll shows fifty three percent of americans now disapprove of the government surveillance programs as opposed to thirty seven percent who approve another poll by the queen a parent university conducted just in the wake of snowden's revelations shows forty five percent of americans say the government's anti-terrorism efforts have gone too far we're striking civil liberties three years ago twenty five percent of americans thought so it's a massive shift in attitudes a shift that the lawmakers and the government can't ignore as much as they like to attack snowden his revelations have put the white house on the defensive you can complain about big brother and this is. a potential. program run amuck but when you actually look at the details then i think we've struck the right balance well let's look at some of those details from snowden we

first learned about the prism program a system the n.s.a. uses to gain access to the private communications of users of nine popular services the government said the n.s.a. does that only with a warrant from the fight to court snowden said the court merely rubber stamp such warrants and he revealed one such revealed one such secret court order for a telecommunications company to hand over its clients dead or in bulk the government has acknowledged the bulk collection of communications but said no one can look at the content of those communications without a warrant snowden said that's a lie this week the guardian relying on the documents that snowden had earlier provided has revealed details of a program that makes such warrantless snooping possible we learned about x. keyscore which allows to search through vast amounts of data collected by other programs snowden has leaked the n.s.a.'s training materials where the agency boasts that the program is the widest reaching system for developing intelligence from the

net having sekret fives to screw ear and his comfortable lifestyle snowden said he wanted to expose the government's lives in washington i'm going to check him thanks for being with the new we're going to take a quick break now but when we come back we'll take a look at the shape of peace in war torn mali that and other news in a couple of minutes. that church is essential. to kill demonstrates. that women are kidnapped and converted to islam by. the below models for the coptic christians of egypt to the cross to. future victims. the way of the cross.

if you. close again the inmates at guantanamo bay have accused gods of carrying out invasive procedures including the so-called. the office's daily routine against the

hunger strike as was i outlined by the last british resident at the facility shot in a private talk to his lawyer according to the inmate joining such invasive searches an extraction team walks in and forces the detainees to the floor any movement or strip is restrained by the god so you hold the. janie's by the arms and the legs and such procedures are conducted anytime a prisoner wants to leave his cell to see a lawyer or relative the same when he returns prisoners believe this is a tactic to intimidate them break the ongoing hunger strike and prevent them from talking to their attorney clive smith representing shaka said the measures at the camp a reverse effect. we have now raised it with the american courts that they shouldn't be doing this that shouldn't effectively be sexually assaulting the prisoners and it was the government i believe who first started using the term

scruton search if you're the leader the they actually admitted doing this sort of thing and it's been done to try to intimidate prisoners out of talking to their lawyers so that unfortunately the truth would not come out of crown tonneau bay but i don't doubt that most of them are resisting jack has been going through this for months and months and months now and i've got a proud woman and weighed it and his response to that is when they leave him in his cell he starts singing you know both molly's songs new get up stand up for the year rhythmix and the guards to show that he's not to be coward. i think that shaq is standing up for his rights and the rights of other prisons prisoners has motivated their guards under orders from the more senior officers through to treat very bad but actually it's not effects who desired effect on the arts and it's may shock a stronger mentally because he recognizes that he is now at least in some parts in

control of his life so i eventually been impressed by the psychological improvements and even though physically isn't very tough streets. well r.t. contacted the guantanamo can part of the assault accusations by the inmates we got an answer a facility representative said they were unwilling to comment on such claims regardless of how i would pick kilis an absurd they might get. mollies held its first election since last year's coup but the opening round of the presidential vote produced no winner in the race will now go to a runoff whoever heads the west african country next will face a tough task of returning pace to a nation that scene and islamist uprising and french intervention in the past year artie's marie ivanovna traveled across the country to see whether people there feel the fighting is really. here and then over the country the walls and billboards

if you come to the really like this do you had this bit your best to at least sixty times if you are married they take you to your husband and make him buy and they throw you extremists would impose strict rules of modesty on these women without cross the niger river to go to college or that for us to be large in mali is north to openly supports the islamists when they first came and provided them with fighters try to find a family whose children joint there. and kind of affiliated group appeared in mali's north last year and began coordinating with the rebellion of the indigenous african tribal to our regs who sought independence but they soon began infighting after rediculus started imposing sharia law why did they come here in the first place people in this area are very poor this is why we bring in some serve for women and some sweets for kids we visited the chief of the village for. just the one hundred fifteen year old man says one part of the village strongly supported al

qaeda and al qaida divisions are very close hold interpret qur'an to reach them we cross a dried river the soil in mali's north is far from fertile the land is not generous to people farming here we get to a female part of the village and the first house we come across what looks like a women's club the ladies here differ from those women make it on the other side of the river we cover ourselves because this is our tradition our religious tradition we protect our whole bodies to talk with men we go to a male part of the village we see to the most influential of them to hear their story if they brought weapons and we didn't have a choice but to a big one man confesses his teenage son was inspired by outsiders before he was brought to mali in jail they behaved in a dignified manner they were never involved in looting they showed respect to the koran but also they had money that looks very attractive to poor people like us.

if the government provides local people with jobs are they less vulnerable and more immune to the islamists we speeches or. please explain who are these people and from where they come they're not from here but we don't know their nationalities we repeat the question to the mayor of ghana one of the biggest cities in mali is north and the percent of deadly clashes during the crisis who are mugello. from afghanistan algeria mauritania would be spent eleven months and they recruited all. the million is the conflict now over the. historic city but it's far from over when i wave back a sense to begins clouds of dust cover of villages and cities peace in this region seems to be as trendy and as blue skies on a sunny day you may think it will remain that way tease for some time but you can

remember we talked about clothing for regular folks like you and me that can make you invisible to drones well freedom fashions as i like to call them are continuing to expand although the fact that our drones infrared eyes are very scary the more common street cameras are way more likely to one average day violate your privacy and thus they invented the justice cap this hat black your face with the lights from face recognition software all the camera will see is an anonymous glowing ghost i personally haven't tested this thing out nor have i seen it with my own eyes and wearing three aaa batteries on your head at all times does seem like a bit of a bother but hey if you really want to be left alone and you're willing to throw down a few dollars this looks like a pretty good fashion statement to me the sad thing is that this sort of invention shouldn't need to exist people shouldn't have to live with the constant fear of unlawful consent less observation but sadly they do so inventors keep the freedom fashions coming but that's just my opinion.
