2:13 pm
to want to stay and online any time. also there in the west at the moment a blooming success for russian scientists revive a prehistoric plant seeds right up to thirteen thousand years not even come across those stories online at the moment party dot com. the soldier accused of leaking u.s. military secrets to whistle blowing web site wiki leaks is set to appear in a military court to hear the charges against him bradley manning has been in custody for nineteen months waiting for the official trial process to begin he faces twenty two charges linked to the largest leak of government secrets in u.s. history well for more on this let's now live to joseph q on the socialist equality
2:14 pm
party and nineteen months why do you think it took all that time before manning eventually face trial well i think it's freedman took manning as a whole it was. brutal only humane according to amnesty international amounting to torture according to many us legal scholars and i mean there's many reasons behind this but i think the u.s. government certainly sees a treatment of now from the beginning both as an example to anyone who would seek to expose the crimes of the american military as a more broad as well as a fairly trance. you get us on the founder of wiki leaks. you know the u.s. government is seeking to eventually exit. so we're trying to trying to go after wiki leaks for the release of documents some believe that manning should be treated as a hero not a criminal but of course the leaking of potentially dangerous defense information
2:15 pm
it's got to be punished surely. no i don't think so i think that what has been exposed has been the crimes of american militarism i mean one of the talk allegedly of first of all should be acknowledged that manning is not been convicted of anything but one of the videos that he's alleged to have leaked was shown the massacre of iraqi civilians by a u.s. helicopter this is information that should get out to the to the population of the world about what the united states is doing all over the world and that's why he's been created the way he is and. you know really must be stressed that this is really devastating exposure of the obama administration the treatment of this young man for all that part of democratic rights and freedom abroad this is how the united states treats opposition here if you're at home of course out there would be many saying he was exposing information that could compromise state security and indeed in danger u.s. citizens lives and indeed other lives around the world i don't think there's any there's any evidence of that first of all what has been released as documents
2:16 pm
showing us knocking nations abroad and the united states is not concerned that this is. in danger and the safety of the american people is concerned that is exposing the actions of the united states which it wants to keep secret ball from the population of the world and from the population of the united states in particular . we have social see quality partly call for the release of manning. and the dropping of charges against him but we also understand that this is part of a broader attack on democratic rights in the united states and internationally so what good will manning's work of done what will washington learn by this from your point of view what will washington learn by ear. well i think more importantly is what the american people will learn. both in terms of what has been exposed but also in the character of this government and how it treats its opposition and
2:17 pm
character of the obama administration i mean this is after all the government that came in pledging change but on every front including the attack on democratic rights only continue the policies of its predecessor so you don't think what will this have an impact on any change in policy from washington's point of view well no i don't think so i mean it's certainly the united states is preparing more wars now we just saw your your piece on syria. the same policies are being carried out and it's determined to carry its response to the revelations regarding its crimes is not to change policy but could pack those who are exposed to it and that's why we are in fact calling for an independent political movement against the democrats and republicans i think there was a really good showing by all these of ads including the treatment of manny is the exposure of the really undemocratic character of our political system in particular the obama administration just briefly but what will be the outcome of his trial and also you mentioned sounds a little you know what impact could the outcome of monies trial have on the
2:18 pm
sunshine. well i'm going to court or see what the outcome of manning's trial is charles would it could be to a capital that is what the government has. promised that it won't see that it's only right but it's also fairly clear that they're hoping for some sort of he or it would have. held over a year and a half under virtual told very well meant. really would. help the government's case against its own currently in. trying to fight against extradition sweden has generally acknowledged that that extradition succeeds and he could be transferred to the united states than the obama administration has made clear that it considers the actions of manning of asylums that wiki leaks to constitute. for terrorism by exposing the crimes of over american military carries it out ok
2:19 pm
