revolutionary. we could change the face of journalism and not we were 1st in introducing the secure drop post where people could securely submit material now every medium has who grew were sitting at the kitchen table doing so if you were interested weekly and making the information pool for public analysis. and some idea here. 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. and 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
11:35 pm
work with primary hard source material at a scale and with a kind of sophistication that had never really previously been done before. yes minus one i met a songe for the 1st time in london in the summer of 2010 back then we had heard it should be going magazine that wiki leaks had received a huge cache of secret documents that we were asked to come to london media songe to find out more details. on what they look for turns out that we did indeed have 3 huge packages of documents one with almost 100000 all reports in the us 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 us state department all in all there were 3 quarters of

11:37 pm
in 2 1010 'd i was the court later for counterterrorism at 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 but what sense was that.
11:38 pm
in europe the criticism was more subdued at 1st. for you as 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 dismissed 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 going to last him. julian assange said his hopes on sweden's liberal press laws afraid that the u.s. would investigate him he hoped sweden would be
11:39 pm
a safe haven for him and for wiki leaks 'd 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 really great bruce's. after collateral murder did so. joe the reporter be careful a warning that proved to be well justified in stockholm massage had intercourse with 2 women allegedly unprotected after attempting to reach astonished 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 son 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 or right up and down. in the meantime the hunt for julian assange and
11:40 pm
his informants had 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
11:41 pm
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. rather cautiously bit by bit. and then there was a new approach to communicating. to sounds the new me's vanessa wrote in a material size never run dry this is this is quoted in the bill of indictment it's
11:42 pm
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 the spring 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 the sun is said to have given manning advice on how to remain anonymous. i believe she is closer to a spy than the journalist because his business a ball 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
11:43 pm
criminal activities murder of hundreds of thousands displacement of millions. in sweden a son who was being investigated by public prosecutors for an allegation of rape he had spent some time living temporarily with donald bostrom. the swedish journalist had tried to mediate between a song and 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 and 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

11:45 pm
a harsh light on hillary clinton's campaign manager. a skit by v. doubt there have been new e-mail disclosures once again jeopardizing hillary clinton's career. the internal whistle blowing platform wiki leaks has released confidential in. 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 her her campaign manager and he was happy to do whatever he could to damage their interests gentil whistleblowing platform wiki leaks quoted clinton from well paid speeches she allegedly held before wall street firms. wiki leaks out of work you know like. this is a case where an external actor is actually as we would say putting their hand on the scale and making
11:46 pm

11:47 pm
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 publish it don't jump becomes the 44th president of the usa victory came after one of the most suspenseful election nights in u.s. history was donald trump. but his campaign team celebrate his victory. after being sworn into office trump claims he's never heard of wiki leaks donald trump 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 fix knew who was behind the e-mail dump. what the leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service we know the danger that assad is not so merry band
11:48 pm
of brothers post a democracy is around the world ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons you would agree with this director comp a.o.l. let'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 of the us release. if you're going to play with fire going to get burned. the spanish company you see global was responsible for security in the ecuadorian embassy their boss david maraniss was a former spanish military officer with good contacts in the us. this started to. read your comments. and change all the.
11:49 pm
legal 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. and cheer up welcome to the club of the persecuted. thank you president after. he was succeeded by the new president lenin moreno who sought a closer relationship with the u.s. . this also changed the atmosphere in the london embassy. security staff started confiscating visitors bags and mobile phones.
11:50 pm
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. data 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.t.r. 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 to martinez who scored needing a songes defense against the u.s. from spain local. such little more
11:51 pm
mr a son was always very concerned about being listened in on that but i want them i personally asked the security staff several time limits on whether the cameras that were installed everywhere could also record all the senior us case in court that one implant us into a get up on all of this was always denominate. i mean maybe. i don't know if that are in the end we had all our conversations in the ladies restroom because mr assad was so worried about being heard so much other than. 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 shall not go out ok and
11:52 pm
even co-incidental communication between lawyer and client is a fundamental right in every democratic country of the world the bus material seems to have ended up in the hands of north america via the spanish security fund them and you know. who is next who believe it is the c.e.o. . david moore 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 u.s. intelligence services. look on as you're with the u.s. intelligence services and thus is really stupid also the emails are confidential
11:53 pm
belong to my company is our conversation by the conversation that i have. spain's high court has open investigations on david maraniss and you see global. when approached the us authorities made no statement about the inquiry in 2018 the security firm in the embassy was replaced. a sign just internet connection was cut for good and hardly any visitors were allowed it's reported that even his shaving equipment was confiscated. each other's needs and conflict i have never been involved with this case before but then i took a closer look i took 2 medical experts with me and it's you should expect.
11:54 pm
is that 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 sides will be shuffled because this flow. of ideas up he was stuck inside the embassy for 7 years with very little input from the outside world build. up the fuss kind of he hardly received any visits either from his lawyer or from friends he had no internet connection. on april 11th 2900 ecuador allowed the british police to enter the building. and they're going to let us sanch founder of the whistle blowing platform wiki leaks has been arrested after almost 7 years asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london escanaba. up to he'd been right that he would be arrested as soon as he set foot outside the
11:55 pm
embassy with the extradition order to the usa to quickly follow. their. path that. includes patani and whatever is written he was placed before a judge straight after being arrested and convicted within just 15 minutes itself on during the whole trial the only words he uttered what i plead not guilty what if but the judges insulted him as a narcissist saying he was only concerned with his personal interests and it's under the sins in what our 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
11:56 pm
stockholm closed the proceedings due to a lack of evidence. julian assange has 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. no evidence needs to be provided as long as there are grounds for suspicion of a crime having been committed to. julian assange as his extradition hearing could be one of the biggest cases in british legal history. many on target if these charges under 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 is to know this was i don't believe in prison
11:57 pm
a journalist 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 joy in a song this is not to the slightest of course it's much easier to make an example of someone who violates all the human rights when it's a person nobody likes bach destroying songs image undermining him tarnishing his reputation with sexual allegations this shady label and the half truths rumors about him 1st of all part of it. as we absorb it all through the. media and other more willing to accept and tolerate the fact that he's being mistreated. does when he's humble.
11:58 pm
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 the methods that wiki leaks and everyone connected to would have pioneered have changed the way 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 one of the needs of the most.
