[000:00:00;00] the 14 news off the 5 years behind phones in a maximum security prison in the u. k. whistleblower julie. this always has been sentenced to times to us also pleaded guilty with a deal with washington says not everyone's convinced it. when with the bad news is that he has to plead guilty to conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense in so which means the us security states succeeded in criminalizing journalism and extending the jurisdiction globally to norm citizens. here's the deal for that is a fun history that the police are using depth of value. it's like the source on the city, the court ops, the pool, the drug testing team. they got to, well,

definitely chaos in kenya where protest is still in the parliament and said government buildings on fire bosses on the boils over the approval of the am s posted tax flight amended the. 2 to the plan of violence, once again slaves the streets of new caledonia of the powers. then several pro independence activists. the mainland strong system trials having for both sunrise the is very well welcome to view this is on the international with the lakes as well. these update, as always, is great to have you with us starting with breaking news. this, which we've been covering no day here or no say the judge has sense as we can

expand during the songs to a period of time. so that's off to a pled guilty to a single charge of conspiracy, and a deal with washington is what do you have to say in cold working as a journal this time covers my source to provide information that was set to be classified in order to publish that information, i believe the 1st amendments protected that activity, but accept that it was a violation of the espionage statute. i believe the 1st amendment and the espionage act in contradiction with the child, the but i accept the would be difficult to win so suitcase given all the circumstances the pay comes off. they spend 5 years looks at a maximum security prison in the u. k. as long as less the bell and last present on monday, off the spending 1901 days behind balls. even bull didn't, croft and slip from london to the north and mary on the islands and overseas us territory and the pacific ocean of the swine. he is expected to return to his

native australia. so long as cross i live to only see correspondent caleb more fan . caleb good does the use of a hearing as seems to be coming into his conclusion to bring his up to speed? would you please of the well, we've just heard that sentence has been pronounced by the judge and julius andre is essentially getting time served credit for the time you served in a british prison. and in addition to that, the judge is not imposing any period of supervised release, that it appears that after being sentenced after entering is guilty plea, he will be on his way home to australia. the judge went over what impacted his decision. the fact that there was not a concrete real material victim and other factors led the judge to the conclusion that he would give you. he would give julia saunders the sentence of time served uh no supervisor leaves and he would be able to go home. now at this point,

it's important to look over the facts of the case you'll end assigned was the founder of wikileaks. he revealed all kinds of information that was given to him. information that happened to be classified us diplomatic cables, us war crimes in afghanistan, and iraq, the internal proceedings of the democratic national committee, and how they were reading the primaries against bernie sanders in 2016 to prevent bernie sanders. i'm getting the nomination and secure it for hillary clinton. join us on through wiki league, facilitate it all kinds of information being made available to the public. now, mike pat's a conservative and rather establishment republican in the united states is angry about the fact that the buying in ministration went ahead and gave this deal to us on. she wanted tougher penalties to be imposed on us on for revealing the classified information. marjorie taylor green, a mazda republic, and who aligns yourself pretty solidly with donald trump. on the other hand, she thinks that julia sondra did nothing wrong then that he was simply revealing

the secrets of the deep state. here's what marjorie taylor green had to say. or which i think we did and that's why many people see him as a hero. they seem to be a comparison here in the united states, new york times for they released government information all the time, but it's only the information secret, the americans now the proceedings happened in se 10, which is the largest island and capital of the us commonwealth of the mariana islands that happened at a federal court house. and it's important to note that as orange was supported by

the australian and bassett, or who attended the proceedings, as well as former prime minister of australia, kevin ride, the proceedings have taken place. and it looks like this may be the end of a 14 year legal battle, the saga of julian hassan. let's review everything that's happened over the course of the last 14 years the . so with the court proceedings wrapping up,

it looks like julian hassan will soon be on his way home. back to australia, we know what the sense is and that he's gotten time served. we know that he's entered his guilty plea and it appears he could soon be on his way home as a free man to australia, with many around the world watching very closely about today's events. wondering about what the implications are. after all, he did plead guilty, and at this point the us has declared the world to be it's jurisdiction, he's not in american citizen, he's not a us government official. he's an australian who ran wiki leaks, but he was forced to plead guilty to violations of the espionage act. okay, kind of money. thanks for that. we can now confirm that the code has to be the agenda and hopefully we will see a song to leave the code house and hopefully make a statement for now i can if any, thanks for the update the thoughts he's kind of let's cross it to john kerry all q hosted with,

with the blow. is that in full with us intelligence office and now lovely. see you . thanks for joining us on the program. a drawing. so i'll see use of code bottles . it seems like the a song solved or is it finally coming to an end? this is difficult to believe, isn't it? how surprised are you by this development? and i'm having trouble wrapping my head around that i am actually not surprised that a deal has been struck. but i'm absolutely shocked that a deal with drug whereby julian would take display in the, in the northern mariana islands of all places. i had to actually look at a map today to. busy to figure out where the northern marianne is were. but this is really a great, great day for julian, for all of us who believe in transparency and holding government to account. i think julian would probably be the 1st person to say that as terrible and difficult as this fight was, it was worth it me of when it comes to the location for the hair and according to

quote findings, the island was chosen by a song himself because he was willing to travel to the us mainland was also striking to me how um following stella as long as is um, social media. his wife's social media. she was encouraging or to be supportive and follow has to follow the flight plan and follow the flight. so that really is that lack of trust isn't that? oh yes, absolutely. a lack of trust. and what do you make of as it's as long as the decision not to go to the us mainland? well that was the sticking point, and it's been the sticking point for at least 6 or 7 months. now. the justice department was adamant that that they would negotiate a plea for time served so long as the negotiation took place on us soil. they wanted julian to 1st be extradited to the eastern district of virginia. then they would agree to the play and then he could go home trust. rarely, he didn't believe that they would be true to their word. i wouldn't believe it

either. and he stuck to his guns at the same time, you know, this, this case was a, an acre around the neck of the, by the destruction they couldn't win with this case. and so they wanted it to go away. it's an election year. we have elections for president in just a few months. this was, this was better for joe biden, for this thing just to end, which is that. so i'm keeping an eye on all squeaks right now. don't because we think that a so i'm just going to come up any moments to a gave a present, hopefully give a press conference as low as i test out the. now we'll keep a close eye on that. um, we're going to go live over to that screen. ok, let's continue talking, but now don't. so what do you make of the data itself? because well, the teddy junior has commented on the deal setting is not as sweet as it looks. it says a song speeding guilty set a dangerous precedent. anything a, that's a very important question and there's actually

a legal answer. and the answer is no. it does not set a precedent. the only way that a legal precedent can be set is if a person is convicted of a crime at trial, appeals to the circuit court of appeals and loses the appeal. so because that didn't happen, this was just the acceptance of a negotiated please. it doesn't carry with it any legal precedent, so it can't be used against other journalists number one. but with that said, there's something that happened in that court room this evening. that bothers me very much as part of the play. and, and most people seem to have missed it. i found it with, from a live. ready stream or on twitter, as part of the plea wiki leaks has to destroy the, the chelsea manning information. and then julian's lawyers had to provide an affidavit, a testing to the fact that that information had been destroyed. now as soon as the

judge asked about it, the judge said there's this provision. julian's attorney said that has already been completed, so i don't know, we know that that information has been mirrored. hundreds of times. it sits in servers all over the world. it's impossible to destroy, so i'm not exactly sure what was agreed upon between julian's legal team and the justice department. yeah, that is a curious desanya. right. i'm coming next to my my favorite question. timing. now, what are the us government? it's been officer assigned to. so long, why do you think they offered him a deal? now when we get to find out exactly why you'd be us to started to take this will not take with us. so in policy, as well to tell you the truth, i think it's the, it's the correction of a terrible mistake that was made in the very 1st days of the, by the ministration. remember,

brock obama elected to not charge julia such with the crime because he said that he had what he called his new york times problem. meaning if you, if you charge julie and assigned to the crime, you're going to have to charge every national security journal list of the new york times and the washington post and every other outlet with espionage just for just doing his job as a journalist. and so obama didn't charge a search, donald trump did. now what many of us thought would happen when joe. busy biden was elected president, was that he would simply walk away from those charges withdraw the charges dropped him and he didn't. he continued to pursue them and doubled down. well over the course of the next 3 and a half years. i think the justice department and the white house, political operatives, more importantly, realized this was not a winnable situation, even if they were successful in prosecuting julia to such and incarcerating, and maybe for the rest of his life. what did they gain from that politically?

besides trouble and headaches, relative to the 1st amendment of the constitution. so i think that they corrected a 3 and a half year old problem that they should have corrected 3 and a half years ago. and they finally made it go away. as an interesting take, many thanks for speaking to his daughter is always good to hear from you. been talking to john kerry on the list of the whistle blowers on the phone with us intelligence officer. thank you. have a good night. you too. well guess i give you live now to outside that quote in. so i found, as we had a press conference following that, the um, following the big commencement to all look forward hearing these all songs as low as lets listed in life

the the 1st the man knowledge is we ask which is true. and yes, he received classified information from chelsea. manning feels very good about has discussion about how to

balance now press the mike is principles attention to the embassy incarceration. i secure that everyone feels like i see and i'm certain that there are other chapters a fill in the sides for yes for the that i'm going to can you tell us how the suitcase of how long it took to get 60 years 62 months and turn it over to general officers on really

good morning everyone. my name's today is a case as the greatest family and to everyone protects freestate title. so take time

for the states. it wasn't late. he said to the stand for justice and said he did what he needed to do, which lands free to raise the flask maternity making outreach us. and we wouldn't be here today without

his attempt diplomacy. i think it's 75 years today he published information every year the sense that it should be taken to exercise

without giving free speech. anyone should stand again, but i want to encourage everyone to continue to i guess one of the most powerful government will be applied to all journalists. and we encourage everyone to continue that for him to join to and then you're getting the shot of

the like i would just been listening in a 2 outside the courthouse inside upon a student. and sons is successful. lawyers have it just given a very brief statement to solve his lawyer, barry pollock saying the us pursuing journalism as a crime. i hope this is the 1st and last time this occurs. and to me, said jen as the robinson, the sanchez council, longest serving as well and said the greatest threat to the 1st amendment in the 21st century has been highlighted by this case. they didn't take any further questions from the media, and we're not sure what songs himself will be addressing the media, but they did promise that they will. they kind of, we will get a show several, 3 of them. the be too low is on the sand exits in the courthouse. so let's hope them as long as does have something to say is such a great day for joining us songs and quite hard to believe that this is the final

chapter and the a song song go off to almost a decade in a hoff involving 5 countries and relentless advocacy and diplomacy, this case is really divided people the well to of, of raising questions about freedom of speech, national security and human rights. and it seems like now giving us on the is a free man, and we'll be heading to australia where his family a waste, and we'll be keeping you fully updated on all the latest updates. meanwhile, us the independent presidential candidate robot kennedy junior has actually said the case that's a worrying precedent. the bad news is that you have 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 dealt

a big blow to freedom of the press slides. this always comes off to a global, his own campaign to secure his freedoms. protest as have no less hop regularly taken to the streets to decline what they called the prosecution of do a lesson and for twos. and now to try to stop the whistle blow as expedition to the us. all these correspond to the steve sweeney cosmos. now it's been a very long emotional, but joyous at 12 hours. i've not slept really since the news broke. i've been up all night speaking to lawyers speaking to friends of judy and campaigners activists . and we're all sharing really this sense of disability. now, you know, we've spent the last 14 years in the pulling right outside, almost present. we've attended protests and ronnie's handed out leaflets. we've issued a petitions coating for a songs to be released even a 10 day, both in quantities of waiting set of ration. so today's news is obviously extremely welcome,

seeing duty in leaving the united kingdom on the airplane from style instead, apple now come pay. there's a game we've been discussing this for years. not really. and, and the overriding view is this case is deeply political. it involves really freedom of expression, press freedom, the right for jordan, this to publish information that are in the public interest and also for the right of the public to receive that information. but of course judy and faced the full force of the state. well, 2 states, in fact, it particularly the united states and breast. and now we understand in my discussions, overnight the julian has agreed a plea deal. he's expected to receive a suspended sentence off the pleading guilty to less of felony charges. of course, the united states wanted to expedite him to face charges under the espionage act, with at least a $170.00 is potentially behind balls. now,

i've attended many cool cases over the use of many of those julian didn't attend either due to his physical states or otherwise. a nitty old of them were false. it go now the last time i was in london, i spoke to set up a song student's life. and she told me that she fade for his life. she said that every time she goes to visit him, she is. so that is going to be the last few sides of his pool, the physical house, his mental health was incredibly pool, and she said she believed that he could commit suicide. now this was really cool of his appeal against his expedition to the united states, a and the, his lawyers, his legal team, all good that washington couldn't offer any guarantees to his safety. now this is something that was also echoed to me by amnesty international. the human rights group and i will say, spoke to naples, metals or the you in special rapids. so for to, to and he told me they're connected to

the evening. it's a hearing what was going to make a statement right now he's entering the called women and this one's only expect him to for the lights and return to australia, less dismissal and for lunch. quite a few days. the jump on a flight was placed on the away mazing day for an updated on the national get check. our website all the dot com as well. so now we're going to move on with some of the news. the

last day of fiery chaos in nairobi, the nation's president william root, so has to live at an address, claiming that roger cole elements of hijacks, the process. it is not in florida or even conceivable, that criminals pretending to be peaceful protest. this can bring tara against the people, elected representatives and the institutions to publish on the institution and expect to go for free. we must isolate crime from democratic expression on separate criminals from people exercising the freedom of expression and type ident, local journalist kenneth the among the senses. this report from the scene of the process, the,

the, now we'll do a b, b clinton, victory to the middle to the puppy. and it is the duty of reserve the noise. yeah, that's hard to follow, but yeah, i'll be more talk on those on data. didn't keep it the like, put it like well here to see it on the bottle while we're going to do some stuff with the re, he's on the appeal for that is a for this thing. the police are using definitely the use. it's with the source on the city, the 4 of the 20th, or 15 in the car to well, we'll do what do do model,

but i meant i need to do that with you today. the buddy to the right. not too good for the default. and so you do need to reach us, it's most is do i believe to remove records of we're not, but the roads that we don't want to quit or that are the chrome that they want to point us? we did. these are people to be scrapped off into time that you must pay $1000000.00 was the until sunday to the people the. 2 to the plan up there too many thanks for keeping us company here. and i'd say international with 5 was plenty more of the latest in about 30 minutes. could see that

the for your courage and leadership and tenacity in journalism and published dixon vixen logic. and that just this depends on it, the worst, the wiki links using non state hostile intelligence service. i think the man has a heart attack time, the hard tech terrorist, the trainer, a treason this he has to answer for what he has done. assange price it up to
