8:11 am
disqualified or dead pretend is predicted to win the upcoming elections by alon slide. now the ukraine and ukraine's president below them is landscape, says the situation on the front line is very difficult due to a shortage of weapons. and he's urged western allies to stuff up deliveries, lack of munition, among other things is said to be giving russia an advantage on the battlefield. off the some of the most destructive fighting of the 2 year war, the eastern city of div call failed to the russians, rushes, fire power and man power overwhelmed ukrainian forces over many months, forcing them to withdrawal from the last high notes in the city. russian war, plains bombs reduced an already battered city to ashes for ukraine. the loss
8:12 am
underscores its reliance on western amunition. the whole docks have left it handicapped in the fight. it is now an extremely difficult situation in several parts of the front line. exactly where russian troops have concentrated maximum reserves. they are taking advantage of delays and aid to ukraine. and this is a very sensitive matter. there are tillery shortages, a need for front line air defense and for longer range weapons. in the north eastern region of coupons, relentless russian bombardment continues. many residents fear a 2nd russian occupation to raise them over all of its forces deployed here in the northeast har keep region. so lensky visits the troops. how much that was really i'm glad to be here. today to see you to congratulate you, to express gratitude on behalf of all ukrainians and of all of ukraine for doing
8:13 am
such a great job every day for defending the state, our families, our independence and our sovereignty. but there's a strong realization things can improve for ukraine without more help. and the fear, the more ukrainian towns can fall into the hands of russia is really something ukrainians are determined to not let happen. and now returning to our top story wiki leaks, founder julian, his son has begun. what could be his final u. k. legal baffled to avoid extradition to the us on spying charges for more on the story we can now talk to months under the us. he's a professor of law at the university a possible and a former you in special rough or to or on arbitrary detention thanks for being with us. professor, you were involved in the un analysis of julia sanchez detention you said in the past that he should be released. tell us why it's
8:14 am
a very simple matter. legally speaking, judith massage has been detained in different ways since 2010, the united nations working group on arbitrary detention reported in the 2015. it was published in 2016 that this uh, detention was on the full. it was arbitrary, it costs that used a breach of international law. and then at that time it was the swedish was hard to use the u. k. o, sorry. because the original part is which of then how did you do to release it? they did not. he has been on the different forms of detections since then, including the peerage you saw in, in the, in the locked in the american embassy. and the authorities of the u. k. has just continued these fine nations of international law. not you could say,
8:15 am
what does he un body does this event ball the, the working group on all the directions action which is appointed by the united nations. human rights council. opposite uh, to decide legal issues like this. well, they are established as the international specialist ball. they're looking at international law. and when will they say about the international law is well, there's anybody who are better or more competent to do that. and the u. k. of these, the bridge, those heart is always bound to by international law. okay. so there's the, there's the arbitrary detention claim, but i want to read. there's also the question of, of whether he would get a fair trial. if it goes back to the us, i want to read a quote that you gave to the journal organization last year. we abbreviated it slightly. you said that missed if mister hassan is brought to the us, they will manage to keep him in prison for an inter, indeterminate period of time. they would find arguments which would be accepted,
8:16 am
but by a highly politicized judicial process. as are you saying, professor, that assigns cannot expect fair legal treatment in the us? i just looked at the legal questions he is supposed to have published information. brought about u. s. a matters which then are subject to confidentiality rules in the secrecy rules in the united states, and they are not, won't see him back at all. all of this happened abroad and they want him to the us to phase chargeable. that this is against the fundamental principles of a press. freedom died there that you could punish somebody for what to have done about it. get just think about me sitting here. you find the information about some job and a political issue. so or military issues,
8:17 am
which i thought should be published, harry know, not published it, it's 10 user won't me back. it will vote me to join me. there was a 2 phase trial under the espionage legislation. so 1st world war legislation against the espionage which is basically that to, to, to, to come the germans and, and united states off the do not the states joining the test role. well, i mean, it is just after this will get so highly politicized. there's no doubt that any country would have great problems in giving a fair trial of the such probations instruction situation. of course, the united states should never have started this kind of investigation and they should never have given him a cost is if to this it is a legal process which has ended up in college and, and they should never have done box. and they should because neck and have all
8:18 am
hobby of extradited. so just one more question the, the us says the design is leak classified information. as you point out on a huge scale, they say that endangered personnel and compromised national security. these are serious concerns. why should a son not be held accountable for that? there is no bond instance documented that he has the endangered people's individuals secure to and well, the country can claim bought. but if you do this in all the country that all the country, the u. k, the german, if a lot mazda would regard this as a political offense, they would not extradite somebody. and to the us in a situation like this is space colored general principles of law. now with united nations, already has said that this constitutes an opportunity. detention of that,
8:19 am
it is unlawful also to expedite it due to freedom of expression. well then i think that makes the matter very clear about you're going to not look i'm should make it clear as a matter of o u. k or english law. i just pulled out my as a, as a, as a question or us lot. okay, well, let's look at this a little more broadly assigned is clearly a controversial figure. his methods may be questionable. he did reveal dubious practices though in the us, that some say amount to criminal act, america off him, celebrates whistle blowers and stands up for political dissidents abroad. so why do you think the us is pursuing a song so relentlessly? and he has obviously published information which is seem to be extremely harmful to the security in military establishment in the united states on no cost.
8:20 am
and you can then expect them to use all means possible, but then it is for all the countries i'm for us civil society to stand off to stand up against this and really matrix that, that we are not accepting that he's big stopped or punished. it was extremely important work which we, we don't like to have been without. and if, if anybody could republish was assaulted shots has published. if you haven't done it, it was a question already publishing. even today, at 13 years oft was it would have been worth while. it showed process is it disclosed will crimes. and it is a part of the activities of june and massage which is to bring out into public abuse. and so pilot on the private, in the private sector banking industry, but also in the public sector. i'm particularly at what the i want to him for is
