refugees from the arab opp rising as migrants from one state to another long up pounds and pull the checks over time into the new and. oh now we school the truth behind the wiki leaks ambition our special report is next. what's a can't they're paying hundreds of thousands of the last few years. it's chilly and such then i think that helps her attention and the time are back watching exist under attack. he says he has a dream a world without secrets the first step in the for the state institute get information about 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 able to market it is wiki leaks the dream of an idealist or

a tool to manipulate global politics through. words on and on anger. what motivates julian a song 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 it's whistle blowing revelations change the world forever. june as january twentieth the city with millions of residents descends into chaos thousands of protesters take to the streets in downtown tunis 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 is. that

the events that took place in the north african country in january were immediately dubbed the jasmine revolution of the choosing and cool also has another name in the wiki revolution. this man is a professor at one of the universities in tunis. 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 kuna leaks he began posting material concerning choosier from diplomatic cables in arabic and french the cables were made public by julian assange and the person 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 two facts that the u.s. government is waiting. to leave the u.s. government was. really not supportive banally for human rights violation. discontent with the president who had lingered in power for too long had been brewing in tunisia for quite some time public anger erupted after students mohamed was easy sense of self on fire and publish stories of runaway corruption eroding the top echelon of the tunisian government. after winning the. i came the hum of. 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 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 has. yes my name is daniel smith this is julia sun and we're here to make a short presentation about what we can lease project what we don't daniel don't steinberg could be described as co-creator of the internet's most scandalous web site sit together he understands took the idea of creating a site where any person can safely post secret information anonymously british and made it a reality which you eat i heard about wiki leaks in september two thousand and seven and in november two thousand and seven i first got in touch with julian. he was already working on because it's on the right so i asked if they needed any help . i started working on a couple of topics john young registered the wiki leaks domain name in late

december two thousand and six although 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 of democracy. it is way overdue and so threats to the moderately are coming from the inside of the from the secret keeper. they need to be exposed during the first few years of wiki leaks the resource was treated as a project created by internet fringes we can leaks lives off donations but they were inconsistent at the time. or twenty years we or one and a half years we tried to build up we can exist as a project we published a lot of documents and tried to get funding and it was allowed very difficult so we have all put in our private funding into the project and tried to sustain it didn't

work out so well at least not an infinite amount of time. this is nuclear shelter you built during the second world war and modernized during the cold war so we have reconstructed it would take us authors of welcoming are unable to 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. or digitally this type was actually in submarines and so the or german submarines from the beginning and the alarm in case of trouble the alarm starts alarm is actually. today behind a nice thick walls and heavy doors there are services carrying thousands of

websites some of them store wiki leaks data. this is the cabin up and you feel down here to see these days to watch it because it's sort of a swedish noise provide better protection against attacks on wiki leaks than the bunkers more or it security systems l. only if true help build roads are becoming fire while human they would be i think it must be hell to make it a material there for the wrong. assumption his team had to be very careful about the security of their service after this video was posted on their site for safety . 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 radio sparking a massive international right now what it shows you errors in the internal division within islam it's more than it shows you that reports about war who is insurgent and who is not an incident that 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 a one. wiki leaks itself called the afghanistan war diaries they contained eighty thousand on the spot reports about the course of the campaign the zone said they had received the classified information from a man employed at the u.s. department of defense. it covers a six year period or ninety three thousand reports and almost every instant serious incident and worth go through. it with the card and location number of

people killed as soon as the afghan dossier was made public a son's and his team soared 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 could not be 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 beat up i mean where we're looking at mission seriously. and you'd hold back keep going thousand reports for fourth because they had this sort of a show it's not just that way they can take up with you know your friends the white house like lost their resistance in recovery material or army published the white house and built right it's like that with.

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 the leadership a little barry has taken over the party leadership. we're wrapping up breakfast and discussing how to move over 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 helped 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 we collate 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 pirate party the well. brought

wiki leaks the wiki leaks delaine online that went offline during that 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 the countries of the commonwealth of independent states such reporters are either fed to translation websites or the people themselves translate them after receiving them via email russian pirates have launched a similar site called leaks in largely mimics was the sound has been doing it with the legs a few leaks have already been made public. and for 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 turning our documents from time to time but there's all sorts of the big question though is how are they going to send their stuff. that recently 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. and that it was clearly the newspapers running a triple risk 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. when tiriel which chiefly concerned russia was published by russian journalists in parallel with the site the first weeks or a record number of visitors people were hungry for a sensational scoop of. the national shower frankly when we saw the first set of documents sent in response to our request we didn't know how we should go about them at 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 had 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 again welcome to stockholm and the foreseeable but. it's unlikely that julian a song speaking before the journalists of this seminar in stockholm could have full seen that in a few months he would be in jail nor would have imagined that his close companions were deserted although this visit to the swedish capital would lead to his downfall . culture is that so much of an oldish musician on the market as the arab spring continues to sweep the arab middle east where does this leave iran with a new engine aquatic regimes in the region now deceased and.

by august twenty ten juliana songs have become the world's most popular media figure the wiki leaks founder savor the glory of being alone find on the sole adversary to the world superpower all attempts by the us authorities to norm for prosecution against mr ozon proved unsuccessful and 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 them 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 accused wiki leaks founder of sexual assault. they went through the police. primarily to discuss with the police to tell the

police what they have been through and get vice 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 there telling a story concerning a crime. according to daniel dom should beg a son has always had a weakness for women we were at a conference in budapest 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 had landed in britain many describe 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 then the seminar or lecture from and they still are for. it

is unfortunately a rather common case of sexual abuse we have these cases all over again in sweden and great britain everywhere in the world and this is a case like any other with a difference that the suspect the person. at the same time tensions inside the wiki leaks team rose to the surface. his friend and colleague daniel don't show it berg said he would no longer work with him he withdrew from the project along with many others. i really very sorry to see the project winding up the problem is that julian is intent on cracking down on any dissenters 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 moment after that negative trend had emerged within the wiki leaks team. aside from ideological differences bergen a song also had

a personal conflict when learning introduced the songs to his future wife. disapprove of the fish choice. i fell in love quite immediately and the polls were in as my friend about it and the only thing he had to recommend was that i should try to find as much dirt on her as i can get so that if she annoys me i have something in my hands against her. and that was a really weird recommendation but the loss of half of his team was not the most serious consequence of the split for sons much more important was an archive of three thousand unpublished secret materials which burgundy other defectors took away with them for bad this data is a form of insurance. daniel had all the reason in the world to fear a zone he was enraged by his betrayal persones had even threatened his former friend. he wants if i were to ever put any sources in danger. he would hunt me

down and kill me. and he even repeated that threat a couple of times the wats others that asked them about. only some of the first twenty ten into polish and a warrant for a soldier'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 and the criminal charges against him were never dropped. but thank you. the whole vehicle around the world. let me. quote it i'd see why being away. truly after he was bailed the son shocked the world with a statement that it was now the turn for the banks to share their secrets he announced 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 rudolf elmer publicly handed over to his son to discuss with information on the personal bank accounts but i won't do it and there's no it the wiki leaks started it again. in order to. try to investigate it and making that decision on a. yes from bush works as a journalist for the financial times specializing in the subject of bank information faffed 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 on it some of our go to court all of them have to pay money back in the year two thousand and eight the german state got because of this and the more than one

billion of europe. the message proved to be effective even depositors whose names were not on the just feared possible criminal prosecution thousands of germans who preferred not to wait for a subpoena paid their taxes. in twenty ten and the 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. it's a pretty comparable because on one side the people sell that are to us or lots of money for 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 nontransparent 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 just natural if you're working in a team or maybe five to ten people. there's no need to have secrets you know at least in fields like that. and when you ask someone what's happening to the money in australia and how much money is there actually and the person tells you or you don't have to know. after his rift with the sand virg wrote a book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own website called openly the bad site is different it 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 varied wants to ditch spy schemes publicists and the self advertising which is so on seems to like so much this image is what julian wants to create because it characterizes him. like the superstar. somewhere between a hacker and the superstar freedom of information and the james bond or not and. and this is very appealing you know this is what people think they should. well this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more about this all and. then all of the actual information. there.

was five. of ministration was introduced at all universities in china zero after the revolution so students didn't have time to attend classes in the first weeks following the coup that they were too busy debating how to protect the progress made in the january revolution. beautifully that the over evolution didn't succeed in all its goals. we are participating and stick with making a discus things like using every day about the new government had me under review to make our business. it's just that see john if it was. each of the students 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 cunial eeks. you can see that when only.

the first victim. of this of you can fix astrobiology his friend an assistant some a bengali via the ones who had prepared the ground for that revolution. they went to war in the old port town of bizet pirates and used it as a stopping place hundreds of years ago the founders liken themselves to such pirates of centuries past. pirates but maybe because it's for freedom for transparency and so for human rights and for democracy both internet activists agree that julian assange invented a truly effective method of influencing real politics via the internet and the growth maybe it was the media leaks that have been published by an early and i would play that we don't know we cannot may. be. but it does help to confirm and come in the news instead of about the corruption of the family

and close number of the family sure we. are not for this and. to hide 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 had been forced to step down under the pressure from millions of people another internet revolution had achieved its goal the revolution as you know neither rose in tunisia has already swept across several countries and it's anyone's guess who shows it may reach in the near future .

hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on our t.v. . it.
