human trafficking has shaped the morning and this is the journey back into the history of slavery i think will truly be making progress when we all accept the history of slavery as all of our history. our documentary series slavery routes starts march 9th on t.w. . that's the table i had christmas dinner was julian for every year that he was in the embassy the 1st christmas there together there were some 15 of those.

then the number 2 creased consume and the last christmas we were there together. there was just julia. they're going they're telling us on founder of the whistle blowing platform wiki leaks has been arrested. 6 using ciancia conspiracy. it's unclear whether he will be extradited to the usa if you're going to play was fire going to get burned. lead to don't take on the most powerful nation in the world don't take on the u.s. army. deal with the u.s. accuses a songe of having helped publish classified material on u.s. military operations but if you push too hard. that has changed the way journalism isn't done. ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons in times of threatening to prosecute a songe and lock them away possibly for decades that's

a blow to the very foundations of freedom of the press which it. is going to i think his life is genuinely in danger. to stick to. the right. behavior of the pilot. his life they are playing a computer game. or

. something theo shows us is the reality of modern war from the air. and i don't think that that has been seen before. in war crimes on april 5th 2010 we can leaks expose them to the world. julian a son was about to become world famous internet a military video has surfaced on the internet showing a deadly u.s. attack on a group of people in iraq site and other news that's the key leaks online whistleblower wiki leaks wiki leaks has said this video does you do it that audio also shows the shooting of a bus which was rushing to the scene to help the 2 children were aboard the bus both were seriously injured. we can leak you can say wiki leaks was something truly revolutionary. we could change the face of journalism and not we were 1st in sort

of introducing the secure drop post where people could securely submit material now every medium has who grew we were sitting in the kitchen table and julian said you want to start and we keep and making the information pool for public analysis. so. handsome i do. posted original documents online on the condition that they were genuine and of public interest criticism soon arose that weeki leaks was not acting with due caution. wiki leaks uncovered corruption in the financial sector environmental scandals and war crimes secrets the government would have preferred to keep hidden. i think people have. enormous misunderstanding. of the work of wiki leaks this model allowed

journalists to work with primary hard source material at a scale and with a kind of sophistication that had never really previously been done before. yes modest i met a songe for the 1st time in london in the summer of 2010 back then we had heard it should be go magazine that wiki leaks had received a huge cache of secret documents that. were asked to come to london and meet a songe to find out more details of the ties that they leave for turns out that we did indeed have 3 huge packages of documents one with almost 100000 who are towards the u.s. army and the afghanistan war conason creek then several 100000 from the iraq war and then finally a quarter of a 1000000 confidential diplomatic cables from the u.s. state department all in all there were 3 quarters of a 1000000 documents into. the wiki leaks documents were at the center of

unprecedented attention dished me go to the new york times and the guardian were the 1st to join forces to evaluate the documents. secret files that expose the true war in afghanistan. off german soldiers are also said to be having increasingly serious problems. fresh beagle magazine it's front page news evidence of the us secret cast for 373 in afghanistan who hunt and kill of their own accord the files also reveal the brutality of the work being waged. doesn't by media many more civilians were killed in military interventions in recent years than officially confirmed it was like being hit by a very large wave it was it was quite a shock to experience. in

2010 i was the corner for counterterrorism the state department. it was you know abundantly evident that this was going to be a diplomatic. disaster for the you know. it states. good afternoon we have enough room in here united states strongly condemns the illegal disclosure of classified information so let's be clear this disclosure is not just an attack on america's foreign policy interests it is an attack on the international community the damage was was enormous i mean i'm open to the possibility that sought to. release might have been justified in some cases but again wholesale release what what sense was that.

in europe the criticism was more subdued at 1st. for us we humans often to the u.s. government it was clear right from the start that assigns was an existential threat hot guys think you can put it as simply as he had crossed the line. madame you should never take on the most powerful nation in the world don't take on the u.s. army don't take on the secret services the cia if you do you'll be met with enormous blowback. hillary clinton once said can't we just take the guy out with a drone to me and i'm an agnostic. julian assange said his hopes on sweden's liberal press laws afraid that the u.s. would investigate him he hoped sweden would be a safe haven for him and for wiki leaks at the time key servers were located in

stockholm they have since been removed and relocated several times when he was in sweden. and the 1st real great bruce's. after collateral murder. i did say to joe the reporter be careful a warning that proved to be well justified in stockholm a science had intercourse with 2 women allegedly unprotected after attempting to reach a science personally the woman turned to the police to compel him to undergo testing for s t d's the police open preliminary investigations into 4 counts of sexual offense overnight the story of a song as the rapist hit the headlines it would become an accusation he could never quite shake off you're going to say i was a rock star over him i was an asshole and that was kind of swedish consensus among from the left to right up and down. in the meantime the hunt for julian assange and his informants have begun in the us.

we want what ever they have. returned to us and we want whatever copies they have expunged erased gone. we're not alone in this endeavor the f.b.i. d.o.j. are also investigating this are also involved in this matter. later u.s. investigators discovered a chat protocol on one army privates computer it was to become a key piece of evidence and form the basis of the present charges. the source the signage was exchanging messages with in the spring of 2010 was in iraq. it was chelsea manning then

bradley manning an intelligence analyst with the u.s. army. biden kenzie's the 2 didn't know each other personally only through their anonymous handles or aliases. they proceeded getting to know each other cautiously bit by bit and some. of them though it was a new approach to communicating. sounds the new me's venison throat which material size never run dry this is this is quoted in the bill of indictment it's a very thin line while journalists should never incite anyone to steal or intrude

to gain information they have course do want to know what their sources can offer in business. in a string of $2900.00 us federal grand jury and sealed indictment against just 17 further charges under the espionage act on obtaining and publishing classified information soon followed the possible sentences total up to 175 years in jail. count 18 of the indictment conspiracy to commit computer intrusion better known as hacking. is said to have given manning advice on how to remain anonymous. i believe he is closer to a spy than the journalist because his business about stealing information is his use of information is not informed by a story by a narrative and by a public point that needs to be made out to destroy because he exposed war crimes criminal activities murderer of hundreds of thousands displacement

of millions. in sweden a sign it was being investigated by public prosecutors for an allegation of rape he had spent some time living temper. rarely with donald bostrom the swedish journalist who tried to mediate between the 2 women in question and also made a statement to the police. i read everywhere that he was a covered running away escaping from everything but that's not the fact the fact is actually he went to the police he was in through a gate that he stayed another 5 weeks waiting for the next step in the process which never occurred. swedish authorities granted him permission to travel to london. then they wanted him back for more questioning insisting it take place in sweden. just for assurance that he would not be extradited to the u.s. his request was denied. and so he decided

to apply for asylum in ecuador escaping 1st to their embassy in london. she arrived pm to. use asylum petition. they need to be hunted down and julian assange is currently in london and the ecuadorian embassy. because you are who has granted assad asylum but it's unclear how he intends to get there from the london embassy the british police are outside ready to arrest him the moment here merges to get to the airport through coffin. was trapped in the heart of london. and sweden fell silent no hearing no charges. then in 2016 wiki leaks made another major release the d.n.c. leaks implicated the democratic party. including e-mails that showed

a harsh light on hillary clinton's campaign manager. escape 5 eat out there have been new e-mails disclosures once again jeopardizing hillary clinton's career. the enter the whistleblowing platform wiki leaks has released confidential e-mails pointing to the d.n.c. preferring clinton to run as the democratic presidential candidate instead of the outsider bernie sanders. they clearly disliked hillary clinton they didn't like john podesta her her campaign manager and he was happy to do whatever he could to damage their interests against the whistleblowing platform wiki leaks quoted clinton from well paid speeches she allegedly held before wall street firms. wiki leaks i love what you like. this is a case where an external actor is actually as we would say putting their hand on the scale and making a difference. was

the russian intelligence service using the principle of wiki leaks to promote its own interest and that was part of robert muller's investigation in his report on russia's influence on the $26000.00 and. and elections. are $2.00 the name of the hacker who allegedly acquired and provided wiki leaks with emails according to special investigator muller russian intelligence service staff who have since been indicted were behind the hacks i now believe that it is something like 21st century hostile service working in collusion with the russian intelligence services in that campaign and i think for that reason its reputation in the united states has been fatally damaged this was journalistic activity this was in the public interest to be published it. doesn't really matter where the

material came from if it's in the public interest to publish would you have a duty to posted it on time becomes the 45th president of the usa. victory came after one of the most suspenseful election nights in u.s. history. tunnel trumpet his campaign team celebrate his victory. after being sworn into office trump claims he's never heard of wiki leaks. do solemnly swear that it's unclear what impact the wiki leaks release had on the election result there is no evidence that we can reach knew who was behind the e-mail dump. what he leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service we know the danger that a sonnet is not so merry band of brothers posted democracies around the world

ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for a lion izing these demons you would agree with this director pompei oh that's when he when he was when he made that remark that it's a hostile intelligence service craft. he made himself a target for intelligence services all over the world because of the information that he was released. if you're going to play with fire are going to burn. the spanish company you see global was responsible for security in their quit or an embassy their boss david maraniss was a former spanish military officer with good contacts in the u.s. . started to. change.

should be protected. in 2017 presidential elections were held in ecuador. having already served 2 terms rafael correa who had previously granted asylum to his songs was unable to run again. welcome to the club of the persecuted. thank you president. he was succeeded by the new president lenin moreno who sought a closer relationship with the us. this also changed the atmosphere in the london embassy. security staff started confiscating visitors bags and mobile phones. they appeared to have been tasked with collecting as much information as possible.

actress and activist pamela anderson would visit julian assange as regularly while she was talking to him security staff apparently inspected her cell phone noting her password on a yellow slip. this seems to have been systematically gathered from assigned as guests phones were forcibly opened private messages copied and stored without consent ration reports compiled. the german public broadcasters n.p.r. and w.d. are in possession of internal documents. in one e-mail the head of u.c. global rights quite openly. another regular visitor to the embassy is a songes lawyer martinez coordinating a songes defense against the us from spain. mr a sandwich was always very concerned about being listened in on. but i want them i

personally asked the security staff several time limits on whether the cameras that were installed everywhere could also record odio see the case in court that one employee. up on all of this was always denied. maybe. in the end we had all our conversations in the ladies' restrooms because mr assad was so worried about being heard but chata. according to one of the staff the security firm installed a bug in the ladies room shortly afterwards behind this box. and in the meeting room a bug was fitted inside the fire extinguisher. but i feel normal at oakley and even confidential communication between a lawyer and client is

a fundamental right in every democratic country of the world the buzz of material seems to have ended up in the hands of north america via the spanish security firm . who is x. we believe it is the c.e.o. . david marr alice is said to have frequently boasted to his staff about his connections to the us. an affidavit from a former employee states when i asked him who his american friends were he replied the us intelligence services. were going to share with the us intelligence services and thus is really stupid also the emails are confidential belong to my company is our conversation private conversation do they have. spain's high court

has open investigations on david morris and you see global. when approached the us authorities made no statement about the inquiry in 2018 the security firm in the embassy. he was replaced. a son just internet connection was cut for good and hardly any visitors were allowed it's reported that even his shaving equipment was confiscated. the. other recently which is involved with i have never been involved with this case before all this and but then i took a closer look i took 2 medical experts with me and it's you should expect. is what we saw was that mr assad was actually showing all the symptoms

a person normally displays when subjected to psychological torture over a long period of time the sides will just awful because this flow. of ideas of he was stuck inside the embassy for 7 years with very little in foot from the outside world village. not the 1st kind of he hardly received any visits either from his lawyer or from friends he had no internet connection. on april 11th 2019 ecuador allowed the british police to enter the building. and they're going to let us sanch founder of the whistle blowing platform bush leaks has been arrested after almost 7 years asylum in ecuador an embassy in london s going on involving. other fish he'd been right that he would be arrested as soon as he set foot outside the embassy with the extradition order to the usa to quickly follow.

that path that. includes proton in what has already. he was placed before a judge straight after being arrested and convicted within just 15 minutes of the 5 during the whole trial the only words he uttered what i plead not guilty but the judges in the south of him as a narcissist saying he was only concerned with his possible interests. under the sins in a son i didn't cross. stockholm 2019 for 9 years julian assange had been threatened with prosecution by the swedish judiciary. shortly after his arrest in london the public prosecutor in stockholm closed the proceedings due to

a lack of evidence. julian assange is now locked up in a high security prison in london the hurdles to prevent extradition from britain to the u.s. are not especially high. on. you know no evidence needs to be provided as long as there are grounds for suspicion of a crime having been committed. julian assange says extradition hearing could be one of the biggest cases in british legal history. when the un talk and if these charges on the espionage act weren't so serious we should actually be laughing about it as are they after all receiving processing and releasing secret information is the daily bread and butter of journalism just because i don't believe in presenting journalists but. i think i can easily agree that somebody who is stealing

government information wholesale ought to be punished for that i'm certainly not going to. be in tears for joining us on this is not to the slightest of course it's much easier to make an example of someone who violated. well the human rights when it's a person nobody likes. destroying a sars image on the mining tanisha his reputation with sexual allegations this shady fika label on the hot truths rumored about him 1st of all parts of it. as we absorb it all through the media and other and more willing to accept and tolerate the fact that he's being mistreated and he. doesn't even use humble. what's going to happen tomorrow. when china demands the extradition of

a canadian journalist what happens when saudi arabia does the same thing about someone living in argentina we are setting a precedent right now that we are going to live with for the next 100 years and no matter what you feel about joining us on the methods that wiki leaks and everyone connected to would have pioneered have changed the way of journalism is done and if we cannot recognize that and we are not willing to protect it i think the saddest part of this whole story is we probably don't deserve it and as a result we will no longer have it when we need it the most.
