1:02 pm
a bit of what australia and prime minister anthony of news that you had to say earlier about the current end of the assigned case. i've been very clear as by the live deleda, a, an opposition, but also as prime minister. that regardless of the views that people have about mr . assigns is activities, the crisis dragged on for too long. the w reporter joel don't really is following the story from sydney and joined just now jo. a son is on his way to the mariana islands. that's a us territory in the south pacific. he's post to appear in court there. what to expect? well, it's an unusual place to such a high profile case to be a and the reason is going there is, according to the united states of justice, mr. san she was worried about going to continental united states is long see that
1:03 pm
you will face potentially the death penalty there. so he agreed to go to this us territory, which is also the closest you as court to his own country. a strange. yeah. it's not clear if there's any kind of a legal advantage for you to do that, but anyways, nearby, he'll be there tomorrow morning on amber. many people from the island are expected to show up and see this court case, which is unexpected sensation in such small little territory and difficult guys according to plans you will plead guilty to one else under the se, and objects of receiving and publishing a confidential documents that are past due by chelsea, my name is unexpected to be sentenced. and this time spent in the u. k. prison system, about 5 years could be taken as a time served and is expected to be released. and on his way back to the start of the, by the end of the week, essentially. now you're in australia, joel assigned is originally from there. what are people in australia is saying about his release as well as one says quite
1:04 pm
a degree soon to see here in australia. there are many people who think that this case is just going on for too long, leaving those who sent you to the wrong places. and more than adequately punish this training on earlier this year passed the resolution calling for him to be released the strategy and prime minister anthony albany. easy and i'm always is us . a leaders is felice. and we also have some politicians today saying we shouldn't condemn him. for accepting this for you deal because he should do whatever the hell he can get out of the system as long been concerns about his health is mental health is it's physical health and he's going to have a quite a bit of recovery edison. there are those also, if you think he should never be prostituted in the 1st place, the start of your journal, a senior put out a statement saying that the prosecution of the science was an attack on the freedom of the press and all jealous. because what he did essentially was journalism publishing documents that basically revealed the mystique, united states,
1:05 pm
and the crimes of the united states in the war and tara, in iraq. so he's got quite a bit of sympathy. of course, there are people who think he shouldn't have been released. one of those is the former us vice president, my tendency for that message and social media saying that this would be a miscarriage of justice saying that people assigned to face the full extent of the law, which presumably me excites desktops. so you can see why. busy there was a rush to get him out of that because of this taken a very long time. by the time he gets back to australia, it'll be the 1st time he sees his children who saw that since has been in the prison system. and by the time he gets back in, it'll be 14 years side of his legal deal. and people basically have had a great sympathy for him and think that enough is enough. it's time for him to come on. joe, thank you very much. that was the w reporter, joel delroy there, and city to look for more on this. let's bring in rebecca vincent here. she has the international campaigns search and that
1:06 pm
reporters without borders and joins just from paris. rebecca, thanks for taking time to talk with us. what do you make of this deal for julie? innocent? well, we are usually relieved that he is now out of prison. he never should have spent a single day there. of course he spent 5 years in lemons, high security, bellmarks prison. he's been arbitrarily deprived of his liberty for more than 13 years. so this is a very long time coming, but a huge relief to those of us who have campaign for so long for exactly this outcome . this is a huge development in such a closely watched case as you say, it's going on for years, has the plea, agreement that we're learning about now. been on the table for a while. we're not yet able to comment on that. we haven't had the chance to scrutinize it ourselves, so we're waiting for that to be released as well. um, but we have long applicators and i know others have as well for a political solution to this case. there is a chance that there would have been
1:07 pm
a legal prevention of extradition. this was playing its way up through the u. k. courts, and we closely monitored that process. but we had to reset this as a political case and it may require a political solution. we had urged the us government long ago to consider other means of bringing this to an end. ideally, we would have seen a situation where all charges were dropped and the case was simply closed. but the most important thing now is that julie and will not spend any further time, unjustly behind bars. no astonished julian this on she always said that what he did was not wrong. and yet now he's pleaded guilty. has he changed his position on leaking the information that got him into trouble? i certainly wouldn't read it in that way and we don't believe he should have been targeted for this. we don't believe anybody should face such treatment for so long more than a decade for publishing information in the public interest. so the way that this was done leave some room for concern. we also remain worried about the possible use
1:08 pm
of the us espionage asked against others in this way. so this is one next step is that law actually needs urgent reform. it was not intended to be used as a target journalistic activity like this. but we have seen that it can be so firstly, we need a public interest defense for other reforms that last so that journalists do not have to worry that they can face similar treatment. what signal would you say this sends to other investigative journalist or whistle blowers exposing government wrong? doing well, we think that journalist in particular, those who report on national security issues are a little bit safe for now because of julie and his phone just released. but again, the way that he has been targeted for so long least cause for concern. the us is not the only government that pursues journalists that report on national security issues. we. we have noted this as a worldwide trans, including from some of the countries at the very bottom of our world press freedom . and that's, that's why it's so important that our democracies are held to account that the
1:09 pm
standard centers, including the us, the country. and the 1st amendment shows that it means what it says. and we hope that we will never again see such a prosecution by a democracy committed to the values of freedom of expression and freedom of information as we've seen with this way too long. drugged out prosecution of julian this once is your fight rebecca for assault over his roof? is it over with now now that he's being released or do you, will you campaign for him to be pardoned? moving forward, assuming that he does then carry a guilty verdict on the, on espionage. well, we'll have to scrutinize the deal itself. we'll be following closely what transpires today and hoping very much for the chance to speak to julian when, when he is able to learn what he would like next. we will continue to support if he continues his legal fight. we will continue to support that. we will continue to support other journalists who find themselves targeted for their national security
1:10 pm
reporting and again will continue to campaign for reform of the espionage act in the us. the us has recently dropped significantly in our will press freedom induction, this sort of cas a. a spotlight on other issues that need to be addressed are particularly in an election year when we don't know what will happen in the administration to come. so this is a positive step. very welcome and a huge relief to all of us. rebecca, thank you very much. for talking with us, that was rebecca vinson of reporters without borders in paris. now today, tuesday, ukraine, and you will start negotiating the terms of the countries accession to the block. it's something here crate has been working toward for a long time, the w's. lucy is chosen looks of how ukraine got this far, and what to expect next. applying for you membership, one of the 1st moves ukraine made off the rush are launched, its full scale invasion back in february 2022. the move that the country sees as
1:11 pm
a pos to better living conditions and more security. the you agreed to start the process. what made it clear you cry and would need to make some changes before taking the next steps. any country joining the has to meet its high standards, including on rudo for all human rights and a competitive market economy. since then, ukraine has been busy with it's you home, but pushing forward reforms to cope corruption and decrease hardly galks infants. all right, of fighting all for russian addressing that are in the country. praise from the use execute. if you have me rate strides, much greater than any one expected from a country at war. you are undergoing the reforms while fighting a full scale war and the goal is truly within reach.
1:12 pm
now that the eu has approved, ukraine's reforms accessing talks can begin. but they will be heavy and technical detail. negotiations will mean going through every chapter of the usually book, all $35.00 of them and making sure that you kinds last a line that includes of a policy areas such as energy, taxation and justice. the 27 currently you members will have many more opportunities to approve or block ukraine's progress. and joining this clap could take years or even decades. all that means ukraine's journey to you membership could still be el. i'm going to the, let's talk to lucio schultz and our correspond a who filed that report to join just from luxembourg. well, i see it. ukraine is not just any you member, any you prospective member. it's
1:13 pm
a countries has been invaded by russia and that more is on going. what does that mean for ukraine's you membership prospect? how does that factor into the war? yes. the question, what that actually means and the question whether you x ray can join, violet is still entangled in that war is an open question and that has been ask you today next book as well. but at this stage, what met us for ukraine is that it is an historic day. they're starting these accession talks. and we have also heard from the european union that or from ministers coming here today. it is not a news topic day for ukraine. it is also an historic day for the european union, and this is also meant as a sign of solidarity to what you're trying to keep to tell them to keep on fighting of russian aggression. and that has been a lot of price for ukraine that, that has been able to do reforms in the area of rudolph are all fighting against
1:14 pm
corruption while they're in this very difficult situation. in the best case scenario, lucio with ukraine recovering his territorial integrity and meeting all accession criteria. if all of that happens when light ukraine's theoretically become human, it's very difficult to put a date on this. what you have to keep in mind is that even though the start is a starting now with indigo associations, i'm already entering into the 1st chapter to really get onto the substance. even bet might still take around another year. this is what do you diploma, expecting that i think it could be a bit quicker, but what you need to see for that is for every one of these chapters, for every one of these decisions you will need for unit damage and by the european union member states and we have already heard, for example, this morning by the hungarian minister for european affairs, the honors bullcrap, the tea, things that you train is still far away from fulfilling the accession talk. so it
1:15 pm
is very difficult to say when you try and will finally be a member of the european union, or if it's indeed might ever become a member of the european union. but today, it is an important step that they start with simulation talks and read. expect for ukrainians to come in a couple of hours, and then we'll take it from there. a big day for ukraine and e u r. correspond at lucy, a shelton in luxembourg. thank you very much. and let's catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world. today. the greek health minister has issued a warning to visitors to watch out for the heat. at least 10 ford taurus have either died or gone missing. after hiking and 40 degree temperatures, greece has been hit biased, earliest ever each wave en route the owner of the south 3 in lithium factory. the caught fire on monday has issued a public apology. he offered his condolences to the families of the 23 workers that

1:17 pm
a short trip to the region that boss excuse me, as hell talks with the hosting is already a prime minister mohammed stop in ramallah. the 2 reportedly discuss potential points of reform within the palestinian authority. bulk also met with her as rarely counter parts. uh israel trots in jerusalem boxes repeated calls for a 2 state solution and voice criticism of israel's conduct of the war in gossip dw is michela truck? no, i was traveling with the buck on her trip. she gave us this update on germany's diplomatic efforts to de escalate the conflict here in israel, in the west bank and in 11 on the german farm. minnesota has been speaking to pull policies, trying to prevent a further escalation of the killing of the fighting. here in the region, but even this and y'all has announced he may come to a conclusion in gaza, fox,
1:18 pm
he intends to send troops to the northern border with lebanon, and with has lost the big fee. and now is that that puts me in new military campaigns in new rule that could become a wide, a conflict in the weeks. and at the same time the, this in the west bank complains that as well as holding back tax payments since april, leaving the palestinian authority, we can, unable to hate its own people. so the big sphere at the moment is that at the very least, the further the stabilization at the very was the road a wider war, including the lebanon, and meanwhile, and occupied east. jerusalem is really authorities of carried out and new wave of demolition. following a mazda is october, some terror attacks during previous guys, awards. officials avoid scaling up such demolitions, to avoid increasing tensions,
1:19 pm
but not this time as dw i abraham reports intellectually. hm. well, i know you're comfortable this piece of paper turn. how much does light upside down? it's in order to demolish it. home build without it is really permit. she lives here with his parents. weiss and brothers family. i love, she tells me there's was just what a 13 demolition orders is really authorities issued in the area that day because they are, they told me either you demolish the house or we will come and do it for you if or how much in his family lives in east jerusalem is real occupied in the 1967 for an annex did in 1980 declaring the whole city. it's a terminal on divided copy. most of the international community does not recognize this and palestinians claim east jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state. and majority of jerusalem's 360000
1:20 pm
palestinians lived here. give a fine getting permits to build homes virtually impossible. according to the un. it says is really authorities own little land for palestinian development while facilitating the expansion is really settlements. that's also the experience of these to tar steve. he's a researcher at your amine and is really non profit that focuses on the is really posting and conflict in jerusalem. the permits regime is being controlled by the municipality, a based on zoning plans that are controlled by the government. and both of these bodies are making sure that the zoning plans do not allow enough permits, fitting for the size of the population. andwhen palestinian communities in jerusalem, initiate zoning plants. most of the times these are blocked the road rejected. given the situation, how much did not even apply for
1:21 pm
a permit. he says he knew she never gets to simply build his house on his land and turns out of the penalty for doing that is demolition. which rights group say is really, authorities have expanded since the october 7th terrace. they don't want a lot of arabs. they want to reduce us. and that's an accusation, the routine, jerusalem, deputy mayor and settler leader, be a mental you projects to him. the increase in hong demolitions simply about enforcing the law. he insists permits are issued without discrimination against palestinian residents. if we wanted the baby to create a environmental pushing them out, we would not invest so for palestinian and tied demolition active as tough yet. would you have none of that investment kings mentioned it's for his community. standing in the ruins of his home. she says, the jewish settler community,
1:22 pm
living in his east choose the neighborhood of some one, has no trouble building. well is really authorities demolished his house in february and then we'll have the monthly demolished of my life. and what am i called his phone or my mother was here and then she gave birth to me. here, under this rubble, there was a 50 year old picture of me and my mother comes in. i'm and you know, there is nothing that can bring that back. uh, we are the amenities, the visa, terse keys, right? scoop your, i mean, fears this way to demolitions, pittsburgh violence in jerusalem. she tells me that during the israel's previous words and gaza is really authorities often hold to demolitions. to prevent tensions bubbling over here. this time we see a opposite. it's a policy. we understand that this government eh, sees a conflagration, not as a risk, it's an opportunity to, it allows it to carry out more and more violence and drastic measures. she says
1:23 pm
that's because this tied for right nationalist each more thing here is administer of national security. in charge of the police force muted in force demolitions to jerusalem, deputy mayor or a king. mr. bank here is doing the right thing. we are not demolishing enough in east to the center. as you wait for the bulldozer to come and demolish his home, tells me what his plans are. if they demolish the house we will pitch attend and sit here. we will not leave, i'll have them. so i handed to chris in the what the new looking cases of anti semitism in germany have arisen sharply over the past year. a new report shows a year on your increase of more than 80 percent. the authors of the report say, the october 7 attacks led by him us against israel were a capitalist. within half of the over $4700.00 cases were reported after the

1:25 pm
both brought forward by victims and by the bystanders. and what the authors of the report a point out is that there has been a big increase of these cases, a since october 7th, the, the terror attacks by hamas against israel and the following. a war in gaza has of basically fueled a growth in these cases. in fact, they reported an average of 13 anti semitic cases before october 7th, and that number went up to 32 cases after that. and we're talking here about verbal abuse and insults online or on the street. but there has also been reported a violin to tax, and at least one case of a petro bomb being placed outside of a synagogue in berlin. and just a, briefly, i understand that germany is also experienced a spike and reported is, lemme phobic acts. are these trends related julia as well?
