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, antony albany, z low beach for years to free. i found he spoke to him by phone enough that his plane landed a was very generous in his prize of the strain governments. if it's the strain, government stands up for a strong and citizens as found as wives. 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 is the way of express relief, but said the plea deal highlights dangerous to press freedom in order to win. he's freedom, joy, and played a guilty to conspiracy to commit espionage for publishing. evidence of us will crimes, human rights abuse of 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 at these shows or whatever comes next professionally. he'll 1st enjoy some wild is a time with his family. whether you turn in can, you can use the president, but your router has rejected a new finance bill that sparked violent demonstrations in recent days. he's refused to send the amended draft while back to parliament, which effectively kills to legislation. thousands of protesters breached the security barrier outside the permanent building, and i rode the on tuesday. they were showing their anger and proposed tax hikes, and the legislation of the timing, living costs are on the rocks. at least 23 people were killed in splashes between felice and poke just correspondence. st. luke's bell ringing and i. roby has been following the story for as i estimates this reversal, if it can be considered

a win for the protesters. 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 a walk see me. nose today is close to them, sons and daughters as so many of them are wondering where exactly his tons and this is the 1st time presidential facing something. and he does not live up to each so until he withdraws the finance bill in its totality by sending it to fund i meant by them and has already taken a 2 weeks break. so again, people are still vague and of course he has to say it's a big yet because of 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 $180.00 degree turn around that we have seen in the present in, in what the span of 24 hours it

sees a consequence of so many things can now have been pushing for a change canyons, a governess, experts i spoke to this evening and said that the finance below is just like continues to so many other things that did those i've been facing can also have been dropping with the high cost of living. can those have been grappling with clear up some ken knows have been grappling with some unconstitutional offices during that process. many ken knows, let's say the president needs to stop financing the office of bad. the 1st lady, the office of this pulse of a deputy president, the president also needs to stop by not seeing the office of the prime copying the secretary, which is an unconstitutional office. so it is a matter 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 he's met and what are the demands of the protesters? another demand is that basically he resign. how safe is his

power to not? from where he seats his lots, his lot safe to announce. 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 can now this i've also asked him to follow court or that's because even yesterday he deployed police to heidi i guess, court order. 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. and his reminder of the top story that we are following for you a military to appears to be underway in bolivia, local media, showing footage of the military vehicle ramming the presidential palace. soldiers
