homeland australia expected to return their off to the final us hearing. and that's off the serious concerns that his health was deteriorating. in the u. k. prison, the police use was a condom and tear gas to stop out the master. this demonstration in kenya as a public speak, solve against the gap and raising taxes to pay off debt to the us base. i am at the why this is our team to national reaching you live for my new center with moscow. i a michael question with the updates. now this is the latest folder of judy on assigned as he's route to find lines of 3 ball game to secure his freedom of the
7:02 am
founder of the media organization. we can, leaks, has been released from the british prison. it has flown out of the country after a left the legal battle. now sanchez agreed to plead guilty to a single criminal charge of the us, the and his back against expedition. now according to we can leaks assigned to after you case about last maximum security prison on monday. after spending 1901 days behind bars, he then boarded an aircraft and flew out of london's bronze dead airport. as a sanchez landed in 5 land from there, he used to fly to a us territory in the pacific ocean, the northern marianna islands to appear before record. he is expected to be credited for the 5 years. he has already served in prison and not face any more jail time. and let's take a look at the u. s. case documents from at least 2009 and continuing through at
7:03 am
least 2011 and the defense begun and committed outside of the jurisdiction of any particular state or district of the united states. the defendant julian, paula sanchez, who would be 1st brought to the district of the northern mariana islands, knowingly and unlawfully conspired with chelsea manning to commit the following offences against the united states to receive and obtain documents, writings and notes connected with the national defense, including such materials classified up to the secret level for the purpose of obtaining information, respecting the national defense. it seems that this decision to a full this please do think he took it on his own or do the with pressurized? well, i think it's a bit of a mix of both because if we look at what the united nation says about solitary confinement, julian, a science has literally been tortured in prison, and it's clear that his health has been deteriorating over his years of confinement
7:04 am
. so it's, it's a really understandable why join assigns would plead guilty to this charge of conspiracy when the us is essentially ready to let him walk after the bad news is that he has to plead guilty to conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense info, which means the us security states succeeded in criminalizing journalism and extending the jurisdiction globally to norm citizens. julian had to take this. he has heart problems, and he would have died in prison. but the security state has imposed a horrifying president and built a big blow to freedom of the press. the font is australian is on american. i mean, does it new leon expedited to australia? well, you would think, right? but because this involves the united states, washington's once again proving to the world that it feels like it can do whatever it wants, it can break whatever international norms it wants. it can completely disregard what it so called. it's so called rule of law that it always says it hold so sacred
7:05 am
. i mean, this case that the assigns is going to go through this court cases. not even going to take place on the mainland of the united states, taking place and overseas territory. and the western specific called the northern mariana islands. and i think it's safe to say that if this situation or a situation like it took place with any other country in the world, this would all be going down a lot differently. this was interest, rarely and citizen. he was notices in the united states, he was not in the united states when this felony is what they say was, was credit. he did not steal the information. if the dissemination of this information is a crime, then every person where i now stand in the palm of the strategies of the site is on the way to the united states of america. because your printers and you know, that creates a mess of confusions. i didn't want to, i want to place in australia where if i offend the crown, i'm off to read. if i've seen the chinese communist party, most advising, or the strong citizen who has offends a lower in the united states of the north side, unless he's in the united states,
7:06 am
when he, when he commits it, and that's the case. that's a, that's a completely different issue. but from what i read and of course we're all very new to this is to a plea deal on a felony. a lot of people are saying that this is a great developments they're celebrating and to a certain extent it is. but we also have to remember that julian, a sons' already paid the price of for, for just being a journalist after over a decade of contending with the raft of washington. and it, you know, this, this decision by the united states to do this really looks more than anything like a conveniently timed political play by the, by an administration. because we got only a couple of days left before the upcoming debates between trump and biden. and now it's, you know, by no doubt is hoping to look like some sort of merciful progressive fresh in the minds of the american people. it's great that julian assigns will finally be released in what smells like a desperate bite and gamut for libertarian votes. but it's shameful that he had to
7:07 am
spend years writing in a foreign prison for doing what other reporters do regularly. it all goes back to when again join us on received the materials from a former us army soldier, chelsea manning to receive sensitive materials that basically expose the us work crimes across the middle east. and for that, she was on the run from the law from the united states. again, even though he was an australian citizen, he had to uh, find refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london for 7 years. he was confined there . um and once the uh, government eco door to ended up changing hands, they ended up handing them over to the british authorities there. they spent the next 5 years in a maximum security prison being tortured in solitary confinement. so this is uh, basically, you know, why it looks like doing the sanchez gone for the saga just for receiving materials and doing his job as a journal. what about as
7:08 am
a patient of us such as eventual return to his homeland australia, his wife and the chief editor of the we can meeks of spoken out in praise of his years long find for press freedom, truth and justice. 12 years on i'm visiting join in a high security prison, but this, this period of our lives, i'm confident now has come to an end. and, and i think that by this time, next week join will be free. the cost of julia and of course, has been to deprive of 3 the for all these years in the bathroom, for journalistic freedom. freedom to publish a foundation of democracy. throughout the years of julian's imprisonment and persecution, i'm incredible. movement has been formed, a movement of people from all walks of life from around the world who supports not just join and not just us in our family,
7:09 am
but what to him stands for truth and justice. a wide american paula to go come and tell you the ducks and hang coals joins me right here in the studio to bring perspective to this is brought to have you join me right now. say for a meal. and yes, the after so many years of legal battles, now we see the genie on this virginia and a sancha has been released. what do you think about this on dissipate to change in the course of things? well, it's obviously a very welcome surprise. i didn't expect to wake up this morning and see this news, but the fact the matter is it's long overdue. he's been held in solitary confinement, joined a sanchez, been tortured in prison, not for committing problems of his own, but for disposing crimes of the ridge. the powerful and the war pigs, julia saunders put in prison. so tony blair george bush, dick cheney could walk free. so it's a very welcome surprise. but as we are just discussing,
7:10 am
we have to watch what happens over the next 24 hours very closely. stella sons' joins wife is uploading minute 5 minutes uh, updates regarding the flight path. uh julians plane and will be providing updates surrounding this. uh you know, this opportunity were yes. appear in front of a us judge in the us territory. so we need to watch closely were dealing with the united states still. alright. nobody wants any kind of surprises, especially when that has been, uh, discussions behind the behind the behind the scenes regarding uh, taking is live, you know, poisoning him and, and stuff like that. not the point, the is the government, the us government has gone after assigned for so many years. why do you think they are offering him a deal now? it's, i wish i knew, i don't know, but i know that there's been a lot of these major media organizations in united states who in this final our have come out and supports of drew in. and there had been even major uh, you know,
7:11 am
who made it tearing groups like amnesty international human rights watch. and i've also come out in defense of doing this on, in australia, his home country. the majority of the members of parliament support his return home . the prime minister also recently came out and supported his return home, united nations in support of freeing assigned. so there's a lot of outside pressure on the united states and is very troubling. you know, turn of events with this on being put in, don't march prison, to have him free. i think that the united states got exactly what they want it and we can talk more about it. but they got doing this on freed without any sort of negative uh, you know, attention on the united states for taking him into the united states and put him in prison permanently. they also got him to plead guilty, violating the espionage act for simply doing his work as a journalist. now in addition to this is some analysts have said,
7:12 am
but this could also be an attempt by the white house and do it by didn't to boost the, you know, popularity ratings ahead of the electrons coming up in the united states. what do you make of that? well, i think that it could be seen is true. i mean, this objectively is one of the best things that any presidents has ever done in my entire life. so i you have to give credit where credit is due. obviously, the fact that they made him plead guilty to the espionage act is terrific. and that's, that's a terrible president. but the fact that julian is free and is able to go and, you know, pending, you know, the next few hours, everything goes accordingly is going to be able to spend no time with his why it's in with his children. that's what everyone wanted. so this is a very good thing. i don't know how it's going to impact child finds a re election chances given the fact that he's about looks like he's taking us very
7:13 am
close to world war 3. but this is undoubtedly a good thing, right? we can lead released evidence of us war crime scene. you rock enough guy this done and that, and good the united states. but one was thinking that after switching and upholding the ports of democracy, the royal floor and so on, the west would have come on with a legal battle against the united states. what for all of that? but that didn't happen. well, what are your thoughts on that? well, the west, all these western states are puppets of the united states. and in many cases, they are guilty of the same exact war crimes that the united states committed and that joined us andre. expose. that's why, you know, australia, for example, tend to come after the united states, obviously because they too are guilty of committing war crimes all across the middle east. we've seen footage of them targeting civilians, australian forces. so for as much as maybe any government would've wanted to free
7:14 am
doing this on gym, put pressure on the united states for committing these work crimes. they're all in broiled in the same sort of behavior. and if they were to go out to the united states, united states would go right back after that right now. but you don't assigns was accused of collaborating with the bradley money who later became chelsea mannion. and we saw that to do about my administration pad and manning, but it wasn't the same for getting assign. joe what, what do you make of that? some, we see it as double standards, but what's your assessment? well, i know with bradley manning see on various occasions, i think was dealing with some serious mental issues while i'm in prison, i think was you been close to sadly taking his own life at one point while in prison. so it was very un, no troubling scenario. i don't know exactly why they freed him so early on and left
7:15 am
to in this ons, to rod and bill marsh, and we're trying to bring him to the united states. but what i can say is that it's been interesting to watch bradley martin or bradley manning rather, go out in start this political commentator career on the internet. and the politics that he professes seem to align a lot with the establishment nowadays. so that's an interesting note, right? why do you think that g then assigns, decided not to face trial in the united states? and again, i think that the united states got what they wanted. they wanted to, uh, take join us on the court so they could get him to admit that he violated the espionage i just for accessing uh, you know, sensitive materials related to the national defense of the united states of america . this is something the journalist at the newer time, cnn m, as in b, c,
7:16 am
wherever they do this on a daily basis. of course, they're never going to be, you know, prosecuted for doing this very work. but this is going to be a president that will be leveraged against real truth tellers and real, you know, anti establishment journalists in united states and those who report on the documents of the us national defense for years in the future. and that's a, that's a very troubling precedent to begin. right now. some of the argue that this as much as this might be a press, no, a victory for assange, but some see that's a defeat for john lives. and especially being that he had to plead guilty to a crime to secure his release. what are your thoughts on that? of course it's, it's very troubling. i think that, um, i think that there is no way that an honest, independent journalist is going to be able to do any good work in united states or reporting on the united states at any point in the future after this decision.
7:17 am
there's no way if you work at cnn, of course, you can still do your work, but your work is going to be limited in scope because of the media that you worked for. there's not a whole lot of truth coming from these mainstream media outlets in the us. and if there's any truth, it's cloaked in, you know, 10 layers of propaganda. so anyone who is an independent journalist, independent publisher, trying to expose the lies of the war mongering, deep state in the united states will in fact space. uh, you know, a prosecution from the us government, if they are forwarding racks are using these so called sensitive documents in the future. now before i let you go, what do you think that g and i saw just this whole case? what impact do you think is, is had on joining lives in generally, i'll join a sondors created. people like me, a whole generation of young people across the world who are dedicated to exposing
7:18 am
the lives in media that star wars that, you know, he's been very clear about that. he's been very clear about the role of media in starting wars and uh, you know, also exacerbating all the corruption in governments across the world. so i'm inspired by the work, you know, that he has led for years and the price that he's paid for it. and i think he's, you know, shown the, the biggest sacrifice of all that we, as journalists, are we, as reporters or people that are just concerned about humanity. we must put debt before this honor. and he embodied that by, you know, to the fullest extent, risking his life to get the truth out there about the c, i a, about the war crimes about everyone in governments and what they're doing, their crop deck. so i, in, in forever indebted to join us on june in his sacrifice. and well, just in general is across the well, they've been following this and especially those who have interest in investigative journalism filled the young and those who have been in the industry. and we are
7:19 am
following. thank you so much. that's the thing. go for your insight on this. thank you. thank you. now 1000 episodes of julianna saunders 2012 show the well tomorrow had been board capstone r t and they included the interviews with has been a leader, has done this wrong and for my for doria and president, rafael of korea will be broadcasting highlights from those programs throughout the day, right here in our team to national not area. we spoke with monte, what's his failed? a formally imprisoned human rights advocate and joined the list. he said that he perfectly understands why didn't this guy just prepare to plead guilty after having lived through all that trauma. my, my 1st reaction is just, you know, thank goodness and i truly wish them best. and his family, the best in charge of the con, the less than he'll over this just on imaginable trauma. that in my opinion was
7:20 am
unlawfully inflicted upon the julia and committed no crime. and that this plea was obtained through coersion. and no, i consider it for children. i recognize as a subjective definition. i think most people so faced with you know what he's facing or are going to capitulate. well, will the world know the trouble is that he's been through on a day to day basis as a likely to talk about all his experiences in the next few days. i imagine it's gonna take him a little while to, to decompress and to decide kind of where to go from here. and those are conversations he's going to have to have with this family. so i won't attempt to speak for him. you know what i mean in that regard? that's ultimately his decision. i think that they've given, you know, his history is a whistle blower and it's history with weekly leaks. it's probably more likely than not that eventually we'll get some details of counting of, you know, the past 5 years and perhaps even before that. but his final few, here's the embassy. the one thing that they might do is send if he is not allowed
7:21 am
to discuss the, the classified information any further. and i can try to put some kind of condition, my understanding is pleading guilty of one counter conspiracy. i'd have to look at the particular conspiracy charge, but if it's a $371.00 to disperse, like a general conspiracy count, then the maximum present time at that charge carries is 5 years and he's already over serve that. i think i think he'll be free to discuss what's happened to me. i think it just might take more than a few days for him to decide to do that and to find the right format for him to do that. and i think he deserves all the time that he and his family want to kind of the last uh before he, you know, decides to, besides what parts of his story he's going to tell in which order to whom and what the right. let's head to africa now get to now the mass protest is erupt and in kenya, public is forcing its outrage of a tax hikes pushed by the government, which is desperately seeking to pay off its debt to the washington based. i am f,

7:24 am
the court of the 20th of dusting games. i do well, well it will do, it would do to do model, but i meant i need to uh that went through today the buddy to the right. not too good for the full. and so you do need to reach a 5th notice, do i believe to remove records of were not but the rule that we don't we are that are the chrome that there was the point that you did. these are people to be scrapped off into tendency. not for more details, less cross live to r t correspondent. no, we'll come gay. joining us right now. know what is the connection between what is happening in kenya and the goblins, dexter? the u. s. babies i m s it seems that the approaches we're seeing in kenya has an unexpected enemy, the international monetary fund. new loans are from the i am if ever come with strings attached, which makes the process even worse. but this is good news for linda's in the west, and now who tories quotes between the capital, which i think his government to, to catch differences and the population reading from the cost of living increase
7:25 am
brought on by installation. and steve tax rises. and that's it. in last year is a fine is bill. and even though prison, brutal is trying to improve kenya's, cisco position mostly is trying to comply with the i am if a rules that requires no robi, to increase revenues over the weekend. the president showed willingness to sit down with demonstrates as the to find some sort of seduce and have a listen to this. i am very proud of our young people. they have the full what try, bless, they have step forward, piece for, and i want to tell them we're going to engage them. we're going to have a conversation. so that together we can build a great uh, mission. but those words don't mean much. so when police officials say to young people have died in the protests of many have been invested. they also don't mean much when the president himself has been the one defending these
7:26 am
messages, saying that to the all it remedied to solve the dates version of kenya. and for the prostate phase, the so 10 institutions that have been asked to go back to the drawing board just to see what exactly is the problem. even though there's a feeling that to that, to administration, has the vintage to die in this and the whole band and has ignored the feelings and concerns of the citizen side as we've seen up only with this coming protest even last year. when that will be had purchased in march and in july, in the end, a people were killed and hundreds were visited. and just like last year, kidney is covering the field is that to the government is strictly adhering to the international monetary fund model and is passing the textbook and onto the countries plug during such a bad and high cost of living prices. and just to remind people that can use approaches to over a new fine is both that introduces unpopular text proposals that have to own
7:27 am
a lot of stand across the nation. the tax proposal consist of a wide range of offer forms and increases, including, including you ladies on monetize, digital content creation, which is why you're seeing a lot of young people do. a tax increases on digital payments as well as being um, transfers and digital menu payments. also talking about the increases on bread and vegetable oil. those are particularly very hard hitting in the country that's relying on mobile. my niece prison, brutal advocate in, in previous years to the pressure of the i may have some of the wisdom places. it's difficult to think that she won't do the same this. yeah. and this speaks a lot to and it also speaks to the power of the eye if he can. yeah. it does unfortunately nothing the right know the vehicle and a r t cross but and thanks for bringing us up to speed on this right now. well, that's the lineup of stories. this,
