for patients with you if you just want to take one example, they collect the table when they, when missouri murdered the war and you do and that's to be expedited for reporting. it was in the story of wiki leaks began the in the middle of the iraq war the us military's worst nightmare came true when a handful of hackers and a few journalists leak to class the find the video to the well,
11:18 am
the me about me when i actually didn't have that much because i didn't know where it was when it was what was the circumstances? who are these people which would only by reason and seeing how relaxed and sort of innocent, most of the people were in the cottage and became the footage was complex to decrypted. the wiki founder and his team moved to reykjavik the capital of iceland bear. they rented this great house, they named the bunker to prepare the video for relief.
11:19 am
the footages from july 2007, and shows an apache helicopter flying over a neighborhood in baghdad. the on board cameras, boats, a group of iraqis on the grounds who look to be carrying weapons or the pilots and radio contact with his face. request permissions or finance. or was the one size about discovering more and more detail. this is when it became more emotional say to understand, yes, this person was a journalist and this was a driver from writers among the victims wiki leeks identified with each mall of reuters driver and photographer. now me
11:20 am
an l. d. in the helicopter pilot. obviously, season site in surgeon is berkeley decides that the cameras are weapons and this is what, that's all the thing with the lord wanted me a few minutes later, the nature of the incident change is the avalon mission becomes a war crime scene. a black van approaches to the wounded
11:21 am
inside. there are no competence. just 2 men with 2 children. the pilot reports an imminent threat and requests permission to fire against the during the quarter clare around where the on the grounds there are courses everywhere. the helicopter of n captures on film via rise olympic group of soldiers among them. ethan mccord.
11:22 am
this is me here. i was one of about 6 who are dismounted at the time. running up on the scene, i have never seen anything like that before i saw on the corner what appeared to have been 3 men. and they were completely destroyed by the 30 millimeter. thr, claire. it almost to me didn't seem real. it kinda seems like something that you would see out of a bad quarter movie glare to soldier realizes the severity of being that he approaches the he locates 2 wounded people. a 4 year old girl under 10 year old boy. i recently thought that the boy was, was deceased because he had a wound to the right side of his head and he was moving. and when i went back out
11:23 am
to the van, he made like a labored breath movement. and that's when i started screaming that the boys alive, the boys alive and i grabbed and started running after the bradley, which is now at this point he looks up at me and i looked down at him. and i told him it's going to be ok. i have, you don't worry, it's going to be ok in his eyes rolled back into his head and at that point i thought that he possibly had just died in my arms. mm. after this day, i couldn't justify what i was doing in iraq anymore. i became very angry with the war, the death and destruction of innocent people. that's not what i joined the military
11:24 am
for you. on april since 2010, we can publish the video online with the title collateral murder. the public could see the true horror of this war in baghdad. the families of the victims learned the circumstances of what's happening. the the man driving the van died that the boy saved by ethan mccord, survived to study joseph. and she cheated us up only because
11:25 am
ah, well, good afternoon to you. i am doing rad against breaking news this afternoon. a shocking and graphic video from iraq, apparently showing us troops and gunning down innocent civilians and just dropping my kids up at school back in april, 2010. i went home, grab a cup of coffee, sat down on the couch and turned on the news. and there i was running across the screen of my own television carrying a child. i knew immediately what it was and it actually felt like a huge slap in the face. i had spent so much time trying to forget that incident. and then here it was being pushed to my face again. ethan mccord was discharged from the army in 2010, said then he has been an anti war activist. 6
11:26 am
of the clutter motor released was, was very important. the video is iconic, symbolic. it was stunning testimony of a war crime. there was no question about it. and people saw for little nys what the, the, the war and tailed we would shoot to critic we. helix is undoubtedly not above criticism, but we helix has revolutionized access to information and wiki leagues has enabled the revelation of war crimes perpetrated by the american army. that would undoubtedly not have been revealed without wiki lately. so we can, the wiki leaks exploded in the international media the, the world wanted to know who was behind it. here julian, sarge, and another prominent spokesman for the projects. we can lease the 500 fusions
11:27 am
from private people. $200000.00 for operational costs. it was built in the way that was the lowest, remain anonymous to the project itself. so whenever something was received, it was not clear where it came from. so it was going to feel secure in the way that if he feels something should be out in the public, there is not an intern that is then judging about his feelings. mm me. we can next was set up to guarantee anonymity to all its officers. but just one month after the video was released, the us army arrested a young soldier, name back that me the soldiers name was bradley manning.
11:28 am
he spent his days finding military documents and was suspected as leaking. the footage proudly managed to the young 22 year old army intelligence specialist. only a couple of years in the army. you felt that there were operations going on. he felt that there had been civilian deficit and other things about war at the american people in the world should know about. with high level security clearance, bradley manning was able to download millions of confidential documents, military reports, diplomatic came off, strategy memos about iraq and also afghan if dan bradley manning 1st off at the documents to the washington post and the new york times. but neither responded. oh,
11:29 am
that's when he contacted pretty neat unknown. the soldier was in a $1000.00 position. he chatted with adrian latino, a young hacker, telling him everything was all i'm saying, you know, reported bradley manning to the f. b i. this is how he explained the move during a meeting with other hackers i is when i do believe private 1st class, manning doing which is acting one conscience. in that case,
11:30 am
i held on to the wrong word. the manning receive support from active is however, on that pales in comparison to the fire power from conservative commentators. the little riley, thanks for watching is tonight. there are traders in america that is the subject of this evening talking points memo. whoever leaked all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor and should be executed or put in prison for life. whoever in our government leak that information is guilty of treason. i think anything less than execution is to kind of mentally bradley manning was incarcerated in a high security military prison. during the trial,
11:31 am
the soldier admitted leaking documents to alert the public. money was convicted of espionage and theft. 35 years behind bars. that is the sentence for this man, bradley man, in the us soldier, convicted of the biggest reach, classified the fate of bradley manning did not prevent leaks from continuing its mission. the site began collaborating with the international media, including the guardian newspaper in britain. the news joins has help a headquarters to analyze over 90000 documented this time about half gonna done. we set up a secret office on the 4th through this building, but nobody else was allowed to. and we have this done and lind national bank and war room. and essentially what we found were there was some $92000.00 documents.
11:32 am
these are incident logs, war reports in afghanistan into someplace, parts along africa in pakistan, border. and we did a lot of work on going through these logs, trying to decode them. a lot of them were written in an almost impenetrable military jargon, full of abbreviations, of acronyms. one of the main findings that we came up with these documents was that the pakistani military intelligence service, the sy very closely supports the some of the taliban and other insurgent activities in afghanistan. as a way of keeping the coalition forces off balance. little glowing websites with leaves does it again last time it was iraq. the time it's up gone is done in the revelations made the front page of the new york times dash speaker.
11:33 am
and of course the guardian. and in doing so, they validated the work because wiki leak is the guardian from this morning. 40 pages about this topic. also concurrently in the spiegel, 17 pages. the real story of this material is that it's all, it's one damn thing after another. not surprisingly, washington was furious. the united states strongly condemned the illegal disclosure of classified information in the documents published by wiki leaks, name of some american army. collaborators appears translators used by the military, enough gun this done on the rack in the eyes of the insurgents. these men were traitors, disclosing their identity,
11:34 am
put their knives that risk. an afternoon had 1st like just depends, again denounced wiki leaks of a criminal organization. the battlefield consequences of the release of these documents are potentially severe and dangerous. spect today with the auto hope that creates disincentives for engaging in immoral conduct. the war edition fainted. spring walk in iraq and other places. it gives the victims of war in iraq, a sense of justice, a better understanding of how war goes and how will grow, grow the
11:35 am
we need was releasing one story after another. afghanistan, iraq, and the media world was asking the same question. who is this an a matic julian, a sorry, the wiki leak found the features on the compass listen, used magazine. the julian thought was taking the world by storm, which proved to irritate his colleagues as opposed to just rush things into glass out those fuel big leaks and gone through it only on those weak. yes. because they there what gives you most popularity, you know, and that's not the approach i'm not into being popular. was the right approach. if you want to build a personality, if you want to become, i don't know, time magazine men of the year or something like this,
11:36 am
but it's not the right approach. in respect to the ideas of this organization, i've been for a colleague, it was a betray in the 40 leaks ideals. the 2 men clashed by way is on line conversation. of course, the me is to spend with me for being disloyal and insubordinate, and stuff like this. so this is some kind of weird military terminology that he uses himself to deal with people. he is working with the trade because i did not betray him. and i did never ever betray daniel don't shide back left. wikileaks in 2010 julian songs may be criticized by his friends,
11:37 am
but he hates it by his enemies, who sometimes calls his execution publicly. the dead man can't leaks up. this guy's a traitor, a treasonous, and illegally shoot the son of a. well, i think a song should be assassinated. actually, obama should put out a contract and maybe use a drawing or something. people up by general do nothing else but target us defense intelligence agency and internally called was forward ignited states. at the moment there is an attempt to get an espionage prosecution against me and other people. united states intelligence community plus military is maybe $1500000.00 people. so a 120 is actually perhaps a bit of the confidence of julian, a, sorry,
11:38 am
in 2010. the american authorities did in fact seek to arrest him and an opportunity presented itself in sweden. mm. in the summer of 2012 young women accused juliana thong ship having consensual, but unprotected facts. the press ram with the case and spoke of a suspicion of a judge opened an investigation without proof of the proceedings was 1st cancelled . but then surprisingly revived me. julian saw accused wikileaks, the political maneuvering, it appears to be highly irregular, and some kind of legal circus is clearly a me campaign. and that too, is behind this. we do not know me behind can i was to of however, julian,
11:39 am
a thought of a d. stabilisation operation aimed at extra dicing him to the united states. me the more you look at the case, the more you look at what really happened, particularly in sweden, where he was accused of. right. and here, the more you become aware of the extent of the manipulation of the fact that there really is an attempt by the intelligence services to bring about an extradition to the united states. and most of the more he has been portrayed is evil, which is also a construction by the intelligence services. the british police arrested the founder of the wiki meeks website julian assault wiki league founder has been arrested by british police over sexual assault claims in sweden, in december 2010 british colonies. if you just swedish arrest warrants imprisoned
11:40 am
in london for a week. julian, so much denied all accusations of rape for a year and a half, he did everything in his power to not be handed over to sweden, which according to him, would have been the 1st step of his expedition to the united states. when all legal remedies were exhausted, julian saw refuge in the equitable embassy and they decided that he had a reasonable fear of extradition to united states and granted him safe haven in ecuador, and embassy b. a sorry case mobilized. some of the most declaimed lawyers in the world, among them a high profile figure in the to show system for ma, investigating magistrate balances august on the agree to coordinate just on defense,
11:41 am
free of charge. why did he choose the embassy of ecuador piano? because of that time, the country was led by raphael, korea, korea was a popular government lot. i mean, clearly opposed to the expansion as policies in both the judicial and economics of the united states. so the government gone on because it was one of those latin american countries that could stand firmly against the united states without fear radios. see mere law. in june 2012 julian, us dollars became the world's most protected political refugee barricaded in this victorian house in central london the president obama to do the right thing the united states right
11:42 am
now. it's which against me what appeared to be temporary was to continue on for 7 long years. in that time, julian summers received many visitors, lawyers, ministers, journalists, always in the confines. the 4th settings for talk to the police is a photo that was taken in a room that julian assoni was able to use in the evening. i remember having dinner in this room with him on those on chairs, for at least when you say embassy, you might think of a special hotel in reality, the ecuadorian embassy in london is very modest. it was small, it was certainly bigger than a prison cell. but he was in prison, me lit up the room he lived in was opaque pieces of cardboard, were placed over the windows and we couldn't see outside at all where you can see
11:43 am
that. but in other words, he spent years without seeing the sun song without any possibility of leaving bornea. and this placed him in a state of permanent psychological tension. fema julian, a sorry i was obsessed with the extreme power of america. the 2016 presidential campaign was to give him the opportunity to play a leading role. again. ladies and gentlemen, i am officially riding of the united states and we are going to make our 3 great america can't succeed unless you 60 i am running to president clinton. this is true. they campaigns for me to be brutal. opposed to
11:44 am
hillary clinton since 2010 wiki leak chose that side. an inter no message sent by julian, astonish himself left no doubt about his views. the boy attention is amazing transformation of hillary clinton and the democratic party into being the national security party and the national security candidate in the american liberal press in falling over themselves to defend hillary clinton, erecting a demon that is going to put nooses around everyone. next, as soon as you will election, which he is almost certainly going to do. the breaking news tonight,
11:45 am
a bombshell from the emails or emails released from spring 2016. tens of thousands of emails from henry clinton and collaborators were published online. but the most sensitive documents did not come from wiki leaks. they were refilled by someone called go to point iowa. one beautiful page on the web wiki leaks partner with the mysterious source to get more information. on june 22nd 2016 with a leak sent him this private message on twitter. or a new message on the 6th of july. all
11:46 am
the us investigators claim he was trained the training of the hackers behind this fictitious character. with admittedly, the russian secret service. me might with leaks be complicit in an attempt to destabilize the situation. it is a wrongful depiction. julian has stated that the source of the information was neither russia nor a state entity where the materials came from. doesn't change the effect of the material. i mean, you get information and you analyze the information and you decide to publish, if it's newsworthy, that is the core of journalistic practice. so the saying that you, that we can use, or julia is some friend of ross and interest or follow russia into this is absurd.
11:47 am
it doesn't hold up. and his group was one. however, he reveled in the news about the reclaims, and i'll tell you this wiki list stuff is believable wiki li quickie lee that came out on wiki li, wiki leaks. i love what the, the de belies democratic candidates retorted as best she could in a debate with donald trump. kremlin meaning in the russian government are directing the attacks, the hacking on american accounts to influence our election and wiki leaks as part of that as are other sites. in november 2016, donald trump was elected president to begin nighted state. i pledge to every
11:48 am
citizen of our land that i will be president for all americans. and this is so important to me. yeah, the west president did not remain pro wiki leaks for too long. in 2017, the fight published secret ca, documents. consequently, the trumpet administration's attitude towards like unique, changed dramatically. we find the celebration of entities like wiki to be both perplexing and deeply troubling. because while we do our best to quietly collect information on those who oppose a very real threat to our country, individuals such as julian assad, seek to use that information to make a name for themselves. it's time to call out, we can export what it really is. the non state hospital intelligence service, often bedded by state actors like russia,
11:49 am
who's in the same year wiki leaks, and russia were involved in an attempt to stabilize another country from just sweating by hope to become your president. because you don't do the president of all the people of france, if you don't a president to protect transforms and builds in the face of the threat of the nationalists that's in any oh your compatriots. a manual mccombs campaign headquarters. everyone was busy preparing for the 2nd round of the presidential election. when suddenly news spread. the in boxes of campaign workers from icons mash party had been it was may, 5th, 2017 c p. m.
11:50 am
the in the firms towards the end of the day we starting to get room is on twitter. they say there are things that are going to get released then come the 1st elements that are being talked about. and one moment i see the download link being shared. so i downloaded immediately, i opened it and i see that it's actually emails from people in the campaign to recalls several 1000 documents and emails from the own most campaign. what pirated and spread on the internet and social networks less than 48 hours before the 2nd round of the presidential election. skin emails were pen stairs on the $410.00 website by an unknown source. one and a half hours later wiki leeks published this tweet,
11:51 am
referring to the documents. this message made mccolan leaks. the main headline in the international media movement has been the victim and the email mac chrome now surfacing everywhere online. it comes to ours. thousands of emails most with little or no wind formation of interest and including some fake document, especially in the morning compared to distributed show. this is obviously a campaign of the stabilisation we see leaks is useful when it reveals information that is being kept hidden and helps democracy to exist and function better way to correspond. but when you disseminate a person's data or communications between friends or partners on a search engine, you'll no longer following democracies mission. this attack on the private life of a person who finds 10 years of their email published this is unforgivable wiki lane,
11:52 am
straight from its role. there we connect the panel for the french pony. never formerly identified the hacker. but the most promising lead was, once again, the russians secret service. me at this point, julian, a sorry, had been living out for 5 years. in 2018, the founder of 40 leaks was officially accused of espionage. american pressure on ecuador was increasing. julian had become a priority target ah, on april 11th, 2019 ecuadorian president lyndon moreno appeared on national television witnesses. ecuador is a generous and open nation. today i confirmed that julian assign, just just courteous and aggressive behavior, makes his asylum unsustainable and impossible. ecuador,
11:53 am
sovereignly decides to put it into the diplomatic asylum. granted to mister a sounds in 2012, the plymouth people altogether a sense. it was with the government for everyone the same day. the police arrested julian within the compound, just a ecuador in the united states, immediately called his extradition ah, national office removal from the embassy. julian was sent to a high security jail, belmont prison, and placed in total isolation. absolute though, so much so we are concerned about his sanity so i can have it done. i have visited him and the conditions of his detention a really bad,
11:54 am
terrible call union is disoriented and solitary confinement 23 hours a day. you can only go out for one hour alone in a small courtyard without any way to communicate. when he got here, we have denounced these conditional safety say in february 2020. the british judicial system got involved with the 1st time in june in authority exposition request. his supporters gathered and his father was present. the. 8 exceptionally, the hearings took place inside the prison. when we shouldn't be a patient, there was a tens atmosphere for you. we of course were totally supportive of julian, a song she we could see him. he seemed to be doing well. his strength of character is impressive. highs because we had to talk to,
11:55 am
i remember the prosecutor talking about all the people endangered by a songs without being able to name a single one that he was unable to cite a single case. there are an inflated number of charges against the songs that are ultimately without relation to reality. the top part of the among julian authorities, unwavering support is bradley manning. now. chelsea manning, good afternoon everyone. the former soldiers spent a total of 7 years behind bars as a release, incarcerated then released again here before the justice system had to force that to testify. principal objects, they think cl again, potentially today doesn't change my stamps. the prosecutors are deliberately placed me in an impossible position. go to jail or in the alternative for,
11:56 am
for going my principals the, the strong positions that i have that i hold dear, doesn't matter what the, what it is or what the case is. i'm just not going to comply or cooperate. i think that's right. thank everybody. that determination got chelsea manning another several months in jail position, had a bearing on the case. should he be expedited to the united states? the wiki league found a risks 175 years in prison, $175.00. he is publishing information of public interest. the only one journalist that is the pains and held him present for doing his job as a journalist in western europe. and that is judy, unless on some point you can criticize a song, his personality is behavior. but if there's one thing you can criticize,
11:57 am
it's his contribution to freedom of information. i'm giving you a central to the case is this contribution to journalism. and that's what makes it so dangerous. the breaking news out of london this morning we helix found the julian associate cannot be expedited to the united states. on january 4th 2021 of british judge rules that given the authority of mental states, he should not be extradited. just a partial victory for his support as the us did not seem likely to back down the lawyers for the us government indicated they was appeal decision nations knobs call out and pressure on the us side. so drop the appeal to say enough is enough. julian authority, nothing mcclare just yes. the wiki leeks found us fill faces extra to the united
