triggered the country's largest protests in dykus, the hybrid golf to our viewers. once you're going to be us in the united states, in to all of you around the world, welcome. we see leaks founder julie, this orange is back home in australia to night, a free man after a plea, deal with the united states. his freedom marks an end to a 14 year long legal battle with the us government. overly documents and classified military files that he published on his platform, which he makes a free at last and back in the folds of his family. wife stella and father joined in his native australia for the 1st time in over a decade for duty and assigned arriving at cambra. apple,

which was the final act of an international drama that included 70 is refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy. and 5 more in put to as high security prison, a consequence of publishing hundreds of thousands of classified us documents on his wiki leaks whistle blowing website. it made him a hero to free speech campaign is but a villain to the us government, which said he didn't den get national security australia as prime minister in the albany, 0 beat for years to free. i found he spoke to him by phone and off to his plane, landed. he was very generous in he's prize of the strain governments. if it's a the strain government stands up for a strong and citizen series as found. his wife, stella said her husband needed time to recuperate before speaking to the press. but she signed to support his on his behalf. it took millions of people. it took

people working behind the scenes, people protesting on the streets for days and weeks and months and years and we achieved it as found is final showdown took place in a quote to him in the us pacific island territory where he was sentenced to time already spent in prison, his lawyer has expressed relief, but said the plea deal highlights dangerous to press freedom. in order to when he's freedom, julian pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit espionage for publishing. evidence of us will crimes, human rights abuse, human rights, abusing us wrong doing around the world. this is journalism. this is the criminalization of journalism. no one should spend a day in prison for giving the public news worthy and important

information. in this case, information that the united states government had committed war crimes. he performed a tremendous public service. not a crime. juliet sans will no longer have to look as these shows or whatever comes next professionally. he'll 1st enjoy some wellness of time with his family. i spoke with charlie beckett a professor at the one that school of economics and author of the book wiki leaks. news in the network error. i asked him what he thinks about the end of his lounges legal kits. i think it's really sad that it's taken so long, but i am absolutely delighted that this has happened is taken so long because such entrenched positions on both sides. and in the end it was a political, not miracle, but it really dashed

a bit of diplomacy by the australian labor lead albanese. why do you think the austin, what do you think? well, become the as well because there was an apparently entrenched position which was that the american government, the american ministry. so they were really embarrassed by what we could a state viable, a solid state by leaking, well, well, you know, illegally obtained data, which was, it could've been browsing to them and understand why they're furious. i'm on the other hand, there's a well established public interest, right? for john is to do that if it reveals important information that the public needs to know and it will previous the opportunities to do something about this. and bama opponents administration had said they were had to think about this. so they recognized that there was this 1st amendment rights, though, some of my concerns to do this. but obviously there was an incident seem so long.

and then you know, in australia itself and very money is in australia. and i don't think it's very easy to do. this is a kind of patry. i'll take gesture and because of straight it is such a very strong minute treat i with the united states. i think it had the credibility to be able to pull this off and it was a very kind of, you know, legal compromise and that's on use. what would you get a song student as long as you talk somebody who likes to compromise. and in this case, he clearly has done by, you know, accepting this right tokenistic plea of guilty. so that might result a scituate, it was a plea deal he had to plead guilty to the at least one of the charges against him. and i'm wondering, did habits of us authorities, haven't they achieved what they wanted when they began in the past? the prosecution here, i mean, you and i talked about the threat to journalists in the united states. being able

to report on sensitive stories in fear of reprisal by the government. and there was this fear of a chilling effect if indeed assigned were to be found guilty. what he's admitted to his own guilt. he's not going to prison and he's back in australia, but of the admission is there or no, i don't think i think we are okay on that brent. i think that we will know this is a token and it step by us on the that the judge in the supreme court in the u. k. a recognize that he had this public interest defense. and even the, the judge in this case that this recognize that the property has not been put in trial betrays me. i'm not saying this is a believe of press freedom. of course it's not, but i think it's a practical compromise and i think it would in the american context where you have a presidential candidate candidate. all you donald trump, threatening to lock up a point of opponents. and, you know, certainly in the media with the judicial,

political, any real violence, i think that's an important signal i think is good the, by this administration. you know, if you like, allow this to happen. are you concerns? are they in the future reporters who are, are covering stories that have to do with national security that have access to classified material that is linked to them, that they may decide to kill a story instead of going forward with it. because of this, this chilling effect that i was talking about. i mean, are we not somewhat, you know, i'm burned to children if you, if you will, because of this a maybe a little bit better. i don't think so. i mean, i was just thinking your previous report on kenya, one of the revelations from wiki leaks was about corruption in kenya. and it was because the kenyan media would too intimidated to be able to report to themselves. and i think that's the way it's going to go they, we are going to continue to get past,

and these will turn to save time media outlets like wiki lakes, who will do the revelator, a investigative journalism. and i agree, the brands, you know, the mainstream media is somewhat intimidated, especially around the world. you know, a america least we have the 1st amendment in places like the u. k. we still have a traditional system way where the song has been trapped in it. you know, for the last 10 years or so and but at least we have that system. so i hope that it doesn't have that shooting effect. and i don't think that it will be particularly significant study in west and medium august. ok. charlie beckett. although we can leaks news in the net worked error, we appreciate your time and always your valuable insight strongly. thank you. in russia, the trial against us journalist, evan gosh, give it. she has begun behind closed doors. rskovich

a wall street journal reporter is accused of spying for the us. he could face up to 20 years in prison. if he's found guilty. he and his employer said that the charges against him are on sale. often more than a year under arrest. russia is now putting evan, gosh, because it's on trial. the 32 year old john list was detained in march 2023, while reporting in the city of you had cut that in book, according to his employer. the wall street journal, the russian prosecutors alleged gosh, because which was collecting secret information from a tank factory for the c. i a gosh. cubits denied the charges. so to his family employer, the white house you say he was wrongfully detained. this espionage charges are ridiculous. the targeting of american citizens by russian government is unacceptable. we condemn the detention of mister goose glitch in the strongest in the strongest terms. gosh, good,

which is the son of soviet emigres and grew up in new jersey. he moved to russia in 2017 to walk. there was a correspondent, the wall street journal. hi to him in 2022 desk of it's just the 1st american john this to be jailed and russian espionage charges since the soviet era. despite strange relations us and russian officials have indicated that talks on going about releasing gosh, because it's in a prison, this will go. but the us and russia have not yet reached an agreement. in an interview, in february of this year, vladimir putin indicated he wants to swap, gash, give it to the russian hit my sentence to life imprisonment in germany for muttering a chechen distant and berlin in 20. 19. it's a specific will definitely be for somebody to go to some ex, but say the trial could help bring the negotiations forward. it's a very unfortunate situation to all around, but this may be a glimmer of hope in his eventual coming home. because this trial will establish

the verdicts and russian injustice needs to see a verdict in a case before i believe that they're willing to do some negotiation for whatever might be the outcome. but by making the trial secret, while she is hiding his case away from the public, well for gosh, of which the uncertainty continues. for 10 years, president william router has rejected a new finance bill that spark violent demonstrations and recent days across the country is refused to send an amended draft law back to parliament. effectively showing the legislation of thousands of protesters breached the security barrier. outside of the power and the building and i rode the on tuesday. they were showing their anger at proposed tax heights in the legislation at a time when living costs are on the roof. least 23 people were killed in flashes between police and for testers. here's part of what the president said earlier

today to the people who have said loudly that they want nothing to do with these finance be 2024. i can seat and therefore i would not sign that printed $24.00 speed and it should subsequently be withdrawn. and i have agreed with these members, but that becomes a collective position or corresponding village, but ring in my robi has more now on the president's uter. as many of the protests as do not see it as a victory. in fact, they have criticized the president for being hypocritical. yesterday evening

president photo said the protest as walk see me knows today is caught them signs and got as so many of them are wondering where exactly has tons. and this is the 1st time presidential toys saying something and he does not leave up to each. so until he withdraws the finance bill, it's totally to by sending it to find it meant by them. it has already taken a 2 weeks break. so again, people are still vague and of course he has to say it's a big to have to because i'm the president in previous uh okay, so it has saved things and is not moved up to them was they let's let me get your opinion on this how did you explain this? 180 degree turn around that we have seen in the present in, in what the span of 24 hours is a consequence of so many things can now have been pushing for a change canyons, a governess, experts i spoke to this evening said that the finance below is just continues to so

many of the things that did those have been facing can also have been dropped in with a high cost of living. can nose have been grappling with quarter ups on, ken knows, have been grappling with some unconstitutional offices during the process. many kennels, let's say the president needs to stop financing the office of bad. the 1st lady, the office of the spouse of a deputy president, the president also needs to stop by not seeing the office of the prime cabinet secretary, which is an unconstitutional office. so it is, i'm a motto of all these things that have cost him to actually have a turn around and we paid less than 24 hours in the president. we know who he's met and one of the demands of the protesters. another demand is that basically he resign. how safe is his power to not? from where he sits, his lot, his lot fif came down. so i've said they want more from the government. they want

accountability, they want good governance. they want him to rein in encore. it up to me does the ones the president to do so much more than just speaking and not acting candidates . i've also asked him to follow court or that's because even yesterday he deployed police too high to get caught or does. so there's so much more that can knows i do mind dealing with him or corresponded to it looks very good. and i really just like with the latest on what it is, a definitely a you turn in the president's policy on these tax hikes in the country village. thank you. ingenuity and diversionary tactics are part and parcel of ukraine's effort to win the war against russia. this includes producing fake tanks and artillery pieces to trick the russians into using their own valuable real weapons to destroy ukrainian de courts. but just who is behind making these face to

face that are saving the real items from being destroyed and, and triple 7. how it's destroyed by russian fire, except that it's not a real how it's a, but rather a model. these fake west and not to the re, pieces made by volunteers. the decoys meant to full russian soldiers into wasting expensive munitions to destroy them. the russians see the fate called tillery from drones, and cannot distinguish the model from real weapons. proper camouflage also plays a role when you just quoted the book on zillow is giving you some, uh uh, yeah, the military showed me how the fix look on the russian screen. but how much income was we used to create more detailed models? let me just go put, the military told me, they don't need all this. i'm alone. that was the main thing is to have the basic elements. this thing is the site and there's more than enough detail here for how they see this stuff. it's for much of a basketball, roughly, and used to make furniture. a year ago, he received

a request from the military to make models of weapons. he made his own drawings based on the photos from the internet. it shows that people that sort of what we've already made more than a 100 model. this one real highlights our costs at least $3000000.00. so we've already saved about $300000000.00 for our army. lived a mess over these. got a steak, how it costs about a $1000.00. well the russian projectile that destroys it, costs $35000.00 the fish. and this is what fascinates us there. we can do something here in civilian life that really helps the army helps save the guy on the height of the lot the float if he across my know, working on the model of the soviet era onto the re piece. it's made of plywood 10 sheets and scrap metals. this is the finished product. a common almost 10 meters

long. the model has enough detail to be indistinguishable from the real common when seen from a drone. michela is the 2nd generation carpenter . what he wants most is for the products he has worked on to be destroyed as soon as possible so that the russians watch from drones and expedite and it looks like a real one. there will be air strikes if this is more strikes on our fake weapons mean more lives save for our military, well example, but so that they don't have to take risks. the more air strikes the better, less to. these crossman can make models of west and re dogs, and even the german iris t. a defense system of ukrainian veteran and military analyst alexi huckman emphasizes that it is necessary to keep a balance between the resources spent on their effectiveness. sure. when they are pushing the test base, start creating the special unit as well as the allocating a large number of people and forces to do this. it won't be worth it to me all of

those work, but they don't protect 100 percent against the enemy attacks and it took him as a shake and confused the enemy sometimes. and that's ok. that is, if even one missile hits the domain, you know, the cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, it's already a success. so this is the familiar one with the terms are terms of these ukraine engineering units don't disclose which models they use and why, but they want to generate as much support as possible to continue the walk from the general. and then they put the test, i spoke with military analysts, marina monroe earlier, and i asked her help from the use of decoy weaponry in modern warfare. it's what we have to understand about decoys. as soon so said some more than 2000 years ago that a warfare is about deception. so i would already use a decoys, or,

as the russians refer to, the muscular off guard is an essential part to, for fear, for especially for both ukrainian and russian forces will come from this tradition of using decoys in different fields and the electromagnetic spectrum. also physical dec always as we have seen in the report. so it is very important and read. do we know of any cases where decoys have been decisive in diverting? it'd be attention away from genuine targets, as well as the recording of cases in ukraine. so one from the russian side was placing decoy trenches, ends up re sure, and then ring the ukrainian forces essentially do these trenches. and for the ukrainian side, they have been using the course throughout um for instance, and because on an air field, the big thing. so 25 jet bombed by russians and wasting

a lot of money. so both sides have used quite a lot of different techniques of from keeps that russian recognizance uses in order to not to be detected because these capes protect their bodies and basically prevent them from emitting heat. so they cannot be seen at night. and so we, we have seen quite a lot going on in this war and both sides have used quite similar tactics when it comes to decoy because it's all about information. so barry or the confusing your enemy, giving them the false impression smoke and mirrors. yeah. you spoken mirrors these tags? did you say they've been around a very long time, but it, it can you give us some examples that go beyond our artillery? the courts may, of course, we can, we should be thinking about this bravely. for instance, gps spoofing is also

a way off of creating a decor because you may need to wait essentially the information. and then other example, which one might thought the associated was a military operation, for instance, is a speak video of the landscape, the fake reducing to his troops. they should lead on arm so that that's what the coy, it's basically about manipulating the information that's available to your adverse or military analysts. marina barone, as always, we appreciate your time and your insights. we're going to thank you start. we've got some breaking news coming in from bolivia where a military coup attempt appears to be underway in that south american country. now this is what we know, what was the it? why things right now from the power where soldiers have unfortunately taken over the government headquarters? people to the voice of president luis, our se has the nails, what he is calling the regular newsletter of the army in the country,

and who has called for democracy to be respected. his predecessor, former president abel morales, has denounced the actions and he has called for resistance. and again, reports of the military to accept underway in bolivia. at this all india is a capital daily, has been facing its worst, the heat wave in decades. this climate change takes its toll temperatures in parts of northern india and hit a blistering 48 degrees celsius last week. the daily has been like a furnace for 2 months. the government has told people to stay indoors, it began. but mohammed if the car has no other choice than to be out on the streets, he has been staying on the pavement with his wife and children. he is one of the houses which i will do daily from all over the country every year to get affordable medical treatment at ease to stop most government hospital of india. many end up

living on the street outside because they are unable to afford any of the accommodations. and i've never seen the kind of hate i'm seeing now. it's the reason i don't go out looking for work very often and i just focus on getting the treatment and taking care of my children. if the guard on his advice i hear because they've chosen the chief mental scheme disorders. but staying in the heat has made matters worse to literally times have developed boys on disk. and then now getting treated for the i to this is shaping up to be the longest. and the was teeth very, very, have seen in the last 74 years exposed to lots of using this to what do you need one soon. and the end, you know, phenomena in a box from getting regular has advisories to people. the government, visio also directed hospitals to provide, especially just well he's still fishes drummond over new york. another government wants to them, denny has created a heat to image in see delta human to see treat tells us that on days of the cheat,

the gets several patients. yeah. mostly be required to work outdoors like construction labor drugs or security guards. these are most homeless have the patient is that move on? she is having a lot of warranty. them visually amazing. it can be as high as 161 or 70 degree fahrenheit. the board is equipped with emotional cooling technology, a rapid ice and rating machine, and lots 7 tubs, in which heat stroke, patients are done in ice cold water debris down the body temperature dropped to seek recess in a heat stroke situation, which also just organ female rapid pulling up the body is the only way to save life . this kind of a situation that happened for the 1st time and that so we know very explanation man and such patients are coming to us in large numbers. we have never seen such a number in the preceding years. if the god brings his sons out, as he sees the slight change and where the light drains and the city has brought

temporarily to lease, but also incense humidity. so you're watching dw, do use that for a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day. stick around, we will be right back. the

getting voice to traumatize. this is the journey to building the independent radio. give me wrong. the destruction of most who could not hold them back because the deer and the spring had a big vision in my family said, don't come back again, but why don't come back returning to the ruins of most of the in 45 minutes on d w. the

get ready for an exciting. i've been trying to look surprised. hi, i shelf now. am i ready to dive into the hands of the gentleman who to us? would you have you have a one to talk to me before you go to the spas? i'm the, i'm expected side supplies, it's dream of revolution. it dictates as the most uh was supposed to have. that changed my life. the people hoped for a sara society. i imagined we would change the world. tens of thousands of messages from all over the world wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream. it was simply a spirit of optimism where we encouraged each other. so many things were suddenly

imaginable. their auditors in mid to end making a dream of revolution. dots july 20th dw, wiggly expound, or julian, a song is back in australia. he went home, a free man after striking a play deal with the us songy, meaning that he violated the us espionage back. when he released classified us documents, now those documents exposed to us government law is about the war in iraq. well, since the end of so long, she has become a hero, a free speech to some to others. he's a criminal. he was willing to put lives in danger all to satisfy an oversized need for attention or break off from berlin. this is the day the.
