rice and if you knew me poundstone from some stupid. stunts on t.v. don't come. here watching our here's a recap of our developing story today japan embraces itself for a new explosion after a third reactor loses its cooling capacity at the fukushima one a nuclear power plant eleven people were injured on monday morning in the second blast to hit the plant since friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami. two thousand people have been confirmed dead and thousands are still missing more than one hundred aftershocks after over a magnitude of five have hit japan

a since friday's mega quake with rescue services stretched to the limit around the country. emergency officials are on high alert in russia's far eastern a solid region close to your parents' border are concerns about the threats of nuclear contamination. and other news that libya's rebels are losing ground as colonel gadhafi forces push through the opposition stronghold in the east the latest area to fall back into the hands of the government is the oil port of bread but with no plan of action and the constant power struggle local c.b.s. and it seems nowhere in sight. for more all the latest from japan in about half an hour's time but now we delve into the story of the infamous leaks website and this crater to stay with us on our team. the web site wiki leaks once again tapping. the last. name is chili and such feel better i think that had a secret agent and one time

a bag which exists under attack. he says he has a dream a world without secrets the first step in the for the state institute to get information out about the real world today anyone can find out what information the government the military and bankers of kept under lock and key secrecy is the biggest. going to be received is wiki leaks the dream of an idealist or a tool to manipulate global politics julian works on and on anger. what motivates julian assange does he want to change the world or is he just seeking fame does he act on his own or is someone else behind wiki leaks and will its whistle blowing revelations change the world forever.

kunis january twentieth a city with millions of residents descends into chaos thousands of protesters take to the streets in downtown genius to demand the immediate resignation of president ben ali who has ruled the country for over twenty three years after several days of tensions resulting bloodshed ben ali had to flee the capital on january the fifteenth. the events that took place in the north african country in january were immediately done to the jasmine revolution of the choosing in kuwait also has another name in the wiki revolution. this man is a professor at one of the universities into. yunus as a political activist he prefers to be known by his nickname. he didn't take part in the attacks on government buildings but he said to be one of the main driving

forces of the revolution. after registering his website kunal leaks he began posting material concerning choosier from diplomatic cables in arabic and french the cables were made public by julian assange of twenty ten. at the first time with the first seventy seven thousand documents and then we've got others. the sensation as i said it was really very very very interesting to note the true facts that the us government is waiting. to leave the us government was. really not supporting banally for human rights violation. discontent with a president who had lingered in power for too long had been brewing into his ear for quite some time public anger erupted after students mohamed was easy set himself on fire and publish stories of runaway corruption eroding the top echelon

of the trinity and government. after when the. i came and the hundred was what he did. i think tradition was nature to. disturb the change what's happened in tunisia and also in egypt and it's happening in a few other places these diplomatic cables troll people. they were actually right and not trusting the government in thinking that there was something that was corrupt. steinberg shams the public spotlight he's going to stay in the shade although in actual fact he's just as much a godfather of the wiki leaks project as julian assange. yes my name is daniel schmidt this is julia sons and we're here to make a short presentation about what we can extract what we don't yield on steinberg

could be described as co-creator of the internet's most scandalous website sit together he understands took the idea of creating a site where any person can safely post secret information anonymously and made it a reality that with you weeks i heard about wiki leaks in september two thousand and seven and in november with all the seven when i first got in touch with julian . he was already working on we can except that i'm the guy i saw i asked if they needed any help. and started working on a couple of topics john young registered the wiki leaks domain name in late december two thousand and six young had already created something similar to wiki leaks several years before previously he used the crypto site for publishing classified material secrecy is the biggest. fear a real democracy. it is way over good and so threats to democracy are coming from your side of the from the secret keeper. and with the need to be exposed during the

first few years if we can leaks the resource was treated as a project created by internet fringes we can leak lives off donations and they were inconsistent at the time and for all twenty years we for one and a half years me tried to build up weekend he said as a project we published a lot of documents we try to get funding and it was very difficult so we have all put in our private funding into the project and tried to sustain it but that really didn't work out so well at least not an infinite amount of money and. this is nuclear shelter you built during the second world war and modernized you into cold war so we have reconstructed it with data centers of welcome you know and i will show you the facility this bunker in stockholm was built to protect swedish

army personnel from a nuclear attack telltale reminders of its original purpose can be seen all over the place. we're digitally this type was actually in submarines and so they are german submarines from the beginning and the alarming case of fraud of the alarm starts and alarmists actually. today behind at least the calls and the heavy doors there are services carrying thousands of websites some of them stole wiki leaks data. this is the cabin up and you feel down here to see these things to watch it because it's sort of a swedish noise provide better protection against attacks on wiki leaks than the bunkers malls or its security systems. flowing through the roof becoming fire while it was they were being sick it must be. to make it

a material therefore we are told that the. assumption is team and to be very careful about the security of their service after this video was posted on that site traffic for safety and. there are. back in two thousand and seven american army servicemen were caught on camera shooting dead a reuters reporter and his driver in a baghdad suburb after they mistook them from terrorists three years after the tragedy wiki leaks published the video sparking a massive international right now what it shows you errors in the internal visual nikken isn't the night it's north and it shows you that reports about war who is insurgent and who is not an incident but appear in the media following the bit where people are killed cannot be trusted. several months later in the summer of

twenty ten the site and its partner outlets published the afghan dossier but what we can leaks itself called the afghanistan war diaries they contained eighty thousand on the spot reports about the course of the campaign persones said they had received the classified information from a man employed at the u.s. department of defense. it covers a six year period of war ninety two thousand reports and almost every instant serious incident u.s. military i wasn't wealthy it with pride and location. as soon as the afghan dossier was made public the sons and his team swords to instant fame but scathing criticism soon followed the most common accusation was that the names of afghans collaborating with allied troops and details concerning american agents had not been redacted from the reports the taliban were quick to pledge to kill all those who had helped the u.s.

army. it was appears the mostly period for me where we're looking at mission seriously. and you go back to being thousand reports for them because they had that sort of but occasionally it's the best way that they can take it but hero approach the white house i thought was their resistance a very very mature way or published a white house or if they're that race. every week once a week we're meeting in this cafe here's the party leadership we've just had a half day meeting says we're under a new leadership a little body has taken over the party leadership. we're wrapping up breakfast and discussing how to live on for the next couple years. swedish internet pirates have no office of their own that's why they meet in this cafe in stockholm the movement has held wiki leaks greatly by sharing its knowledge on creating

a growing network of mirror sites as well as decoding and processing information. when we step in to support wiki leaks in august of last year they were not as known as they are know today they have received aid from thousands of thousands of people so they are not. our aid doesn't make as much difference today as it did know that said however it was still the swiss pilot party the wealth in. brought wiki leaks the wiki leaks domain online and went offline during the hectic week of information was. similar projects have been launched around the world including russia. most people in russia don't speak english that's why we wanted to make wiki leaks documents available to all russians online so we set about spotting reports of interest to people living in russia and countries of the

commonwealth of independent states reporters or even fed to translation websites where the people themselves translate them after receiving them via e-mail russian pirates have launched a similar site called leaks it largely mimics what a sound has been doing it with the leaks a few leaks have already been made public. what the informers will post their reports on the internet site we will know absolutely nothing about them we see the whole thing as a black box churning out documents from time to time. so the big question though is how are they going to send their stuff. in the summer of twenty ten songs gathered a circle of accredited journalists for wiki leaks these people were supposed to get the news before it would appear on the site if by doing this wanted to secure the leaks and give them greater exposure.

the first russian publication to disclose wiki leaks data was the magazine russian reporter of the same time other magazines and newspapers had also received such invitations but decided against getting involved in wiki leaks risky business. that is clearly newspapers running a triple race first they may have suspected that they might get involved in somebodies gamble considering that the material had not been properly assessed second they may have had their doubts about how that would affect relations with the us embassy and third they may have been worried by the uncertain prospects of relations with the russian leadership. and syria which chiefly concerned russia was published by russian journalists in parallel with the site the first weeks a record number of visitors people were hungry for a sensational scoop. shower frankly when we saw the first set of documents since in response to our request we didn't know how we should go about them and first glance

many of them were unlikely to arouse interest you have to read them very carefully to find something anywhere near a scoop i think some in our audience have been looking forward to wild stories about u.f.o.'s or people devouring children when they found nothing of the kind so they simply turned away from us. after the publication of the afghan dossier we can lease web site and its founder a song and become the world. may newsmakers the australian spent most of his spare time travelling giving interviews and taking part in different seminars with those words julian again most welcome to stockholm and the floor is yours but. it's unlikely the julian a song speaking before the journalists at this seminar in stockholm could have full seen that in a few months he would be in jail nor would he have imagined that his close companions would desert him although this visit to the swedish capital would lead to his downfall. culture is that so much i can't tell what i knew about

her the was it worth tell kids if they drift to the right all across europe and the us more and more people are giving the political right when you look and more times than not it is the. fifty. first. by august twenty ten in a song to have become the world's most popular media figure the wiki leaks founder savor the glory of being alone fine to undersell adversary to the world superpower all attempts by the us authorities to normal prosecution against mr a song proved unsuccessful the wiki leaks founder had tried to be legally irreproachable until he decided to attend a seminar in stockholm in august twenty ten. investigators would later establish

than during his visit to sweden mr saunders met two young women. he spent the night with both of them a short while later both young women are kings the wiki leaks founder of sexual assault. they went through the police. primarily to discuss with the police to tell the police or to have been through and to get advice or try would do and when they tell their stories both of them separately from each other and they tell the stories to the police the police officer realized they're telling a story concerning a crime. according to daniel don't try to beg a son has always had a weakness for women we were at a conference and would have passed and he told a lot of people at our conference that he has children on every continent the swedish authorities put the songs on the international wanted list by which time

the wiki leaks founder who landed in britain many described the criminal prosecution against him as politically motivated swedish lawyers claim that it was a routine criminal case. it's nonsense it has nothing whatsoever to do with the wiki leaks actually my two clients are very much in favor of the leaks that's why they were attending the seminar or lecture from iran and they still are for. it is unfortunately a rather common case of sexual abuse we have these cases all over again in sweden in great britain everywhere in the world and this is a case like any other with the difference that they suspect the person happens to be songs. at the same time tensions inside the wiki leaks team rose to the surface songes friend and colleague daniel don't show it but said he could no longer work with him he withdrew from the project along with many others it was odd i'm really

very sorry to see the project winding up the problem is that julian is intent on cracking down on any dissent as a matter of fact now he's one of the kind of people that we've been trying to oppose so i quit at the right moments after that negative trend had emerged within the wiki leaks team. aside from ideological differences bergen a song also had a personal conflict when berg introduced the sons to his future wife. disapproved of his choice. i fell in love quite immediately and opposed to him as my friend and the only thing the happy requirement was that i should try to find as much. as i can get so that if she annoys me something in my hands against him and that was a really weird recommendation of the loss of half of his team was not the most serious consequence of the split for a sound much more important was an archive of three thousand unpublished secret

materials which bergen the other defectors took away with them for bag this data is a form of insurance daniel had all the reason in the world to fear a zone it was enraged by his betrayal associate even threatened his former friend. he wants to if i ever put any sources in danger. it would hunt me down and kill me . and he even repeated that threat a couple of times others that asked them out. on december the first twenty ten interpol issued a warrant for sunday's arrest a week later the wiki leaks chief voluntarily showed up at a police station where they arrested him a week later he was released on bail but the criminal charges against him were never dropped. but thank you. the whole people around the world. a. lot it

might seem. you know like. shortly after he was bailed a son shocked the world with a statement that it was now the turn for the banks to share their secrets to announce the publication on wiki leaks of huge volumes of information on private accounts in swiss banks on january the seventeenth two thousand and eleven a former employee of the julius by a bank who go from a publicly handed over to a son to disks with information on personal bank accounts but i want you it's good and know it the wiki leaks like it if you get it. in order to. investigate it and making a decision only. from bush works as a journalist for the financial times specializing in the subject of bank information fast investigated the two thousand and seven purchase by the german

government of disks with information from anonymous sources on german citizens hiding their money abroad. there are seven hundred or seven hundred seventy german names some of our to go to court all of them had to pay money back and the year two thousand and eight the german state got because of this a deal more than one billion of europe that. the method proved to be effective even depositors whose names were not on the desk field possible criminal prosecution thousands of germans who preferred not to wait for a subpoena paid their taxes. in twenty ten until america's government once again purchased from anonymous sources another disk with similar information on deposits of german citizens in swiss banks it helped her to return almost two billion euros to the state treasury many consider these tax stories to be a direct consequence of the wiki leaks effect. that are pretty

comparable because on the one side the people or sell that are to us for lots of money or millions of money on the other side you have wiki leaks and so this is nonprofit so there are people who their intention is different but exposing the bank secrets subsequently transformed wiki leaks into a completely non transparent organization in financial terms but songs is the only person who knows everything about the whereabouts of the huge donations made to the organization. but there were other money trails where no one knew actually other than julian where it came from and what it was used for and i think as a whole is just natural if you're working in a team of maybe five to ten people. there's no need to have secrets you know at least it feels like that. and when you ask someone what's happening to the money in australia and how much money is there actually and that person tells you or you

don't have. after his rift with a sound verb wrote a book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own website called open leaks but begs site is different and will operate according to the black box principle the website will receive material from anonymous informers but will dispatch them to traditional media outlets for further publication it will be impossible to enter the website and read the information first hand. everything is simple and transparent clegg wants to ditch spy schemes published under self advertising which is sound seems to like so much this image is what julian wants to create because it characterizes him. somewhere between the hacker and the freedom of information and the james bond of modern times and this is very

appealing you know this is what people think they shut down a little so this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more about this all. than about the actual informational. sets. of ministration was introduced to all universities in china zero after the revolution the students didn't have time to attend classes in the first weeks following the coup of it but they were too busy debating how to protect the progress made in the january revolution. beautifully that the only solution they didn't succeed in all its goals. your participation and your people thinking they just assume thinking every day about the new government had me and. me i would be the distance to succeed if that evolution.

each of these cubans took part in the overthrow of the ben ali regime many of them took to the streets after they had read information on corruption scrupulously accumulated on the website kinda leaks. we can see that when early in the regime of . the first victim. of these a few kicks astrobiology his friend an assistant some event gabi are the ones who had prepared the ground for that revolution. they went to war in the old port town of disaster pirates and used it as a stopping place hundreds of years ago and she makes founders like in themselves to such pirates of centuries past. for freedom for transparency and so for human rights. democracy both internet activists agree that julian assange invented

a truly effective method of influencing real politics via the internet but the proof maybe was. the leaks that have been published by nearly and i would play that we don't know we cannot measure the big. help at the federal government though let's. get out of the family and close and i'm going to. sure we. are not far different and. certain things. later that same day the streets of community has swelled with crowds of people again. but this time around they were not protesting it was a celebration in egypt's president hosni mubarak could be forced to step down under

the pressure from millions of people another internet revolution had achieved its goal the revolution the tsunami that rose in tunisia has already swept across several countries and it's anyone's guess who shows it may reach in the near future .

and.
