8:03 am
patient and play with your children for a couple of hours and all of the great beauty of ordinary life. a song spent more than 5 years and bell, much prism in the u. k. where he, for the extra decent to the united states, intensive time he's company we can weeks publish classified military files, which divide this public opinion around the world about what's on it's really a trade to a free speech warrior. and while his actions are likely to remain controversial, linda sands, 14 here legal saga is finally coming to annette. so as long as now on route to australia, where dw reporter joel delroy is following the story for us drawl. tell us a little bit more about what happened in that courtroom. it was all over in about an hour and
8:04 am
a hoss the judge accepted. besides his guilty plea to one account of accepting and disseminating classified documents, she counted his time served in british prison prisoners almost 5 years in british prisons as, as time served and said he was free to go. now it was interesting and sentencing. she made a few notes. one of them was to write a note calls chelsea manning sentence and you might recall chelsea manning was with us on you. so what? who post secret documents onto with you or that they like published relating to the us for in a rock that chelsea manning was given us 35 minutes sentence, but that was confusing. just office of to just 70 is by prison. i know some 3 things that the judge knows. another thing that the judge noted, and this is very interesting. she said that the us government and it's filings that said that there were no symptoms from mr. sanchez action, so there was no personal injury caused by anything you've done. that is really significant because a lot of the criticism leveled against julian hassan so far as being because of the
8:05 am
criticism, saying that he calls home to people. he put people's lives in danger by publishing under attractive defiles with people's names and information. while the us government in court today appears to back down from that central criticism, paul's mysterious arch julius also spoke as he told the colt that what he had done, he had done as a journalist. and he was expecting to be able to defend himself under the us constitution 1st amendment, which upholds freedom of persons, freedom of speech. but he said that this would be too difficult the case. and therefore he was accepting the plea. the judge accepted his what he said, gave him a sentence of time sir, and said he was a free man. she also wished him happy birthday. so next week and to julia, songs left the building. he is now in a plane on his way to australia. yeah. and this has been such a high profile case in a years long saga, really would you say it's fair to say as his lawyer claims that this has now all
8:06 am
come to an end, a legally, that's the case. all the charges against him, you're going to be dropped in the us so there will be nothing more for him to answer. but this is not really a win for journalism as such because the many journalist groups say it's such a dangerous precedent that a journalist can be prosecuted in this way for essentially doing the job, releasing state secrets. and that if this could happen to assigned, you could happen to anyone there concerns that this concerned or already has sent a chilling effect across the media. the people be less likely to try the whistle blows, to release documents, and for silence himself. of course, it's not either physically or mentally is concerned about his health. you'll have to recover, but at least to be able to do so on 100 and so it was surrounded by his family with his children who he has never seen outside of jail. another thing that will have to be resolved is, is legal bills, or he's of this is costs for actually tearing up the dispute faction. which weeks is currently trying to raise about half
8:07 am
