hundreds of volunteers are taking to the streets of the country to mark the start of the big countdown. we're now hearing out see we explore what's behind wiki leaks dream of a world free of secrets our special report is next. the website once again topping a hundred seven thousand the last. thing is chile and such help that i think that counts for the budget and what's not in the bag which exists under attack. he says he has a dream a world without secrets the first step in the fall of the institute to 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 is wiki leaks the dream of an idealist or

a tool to manipulate global politics julian words on here along 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 in bloodshed ben ali had to flee the capital on january the fifteenth this. the events that took place in the north

african country in january were immediately dubbed the jasmine revolution of the choosing and coup 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 us rebel 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 kenya 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 thing with seventy seven thousand documents and then we've got. the sensation as i said it was really very very very interesting to note

the true facts that the us government is waiting when i used to leave the us government was. really not supported but only for human rights violation. discontent with a president who had lingered in power for too long had been brewing in tunisia for quite some time public anger erupted after student mohamed was easy set himself on fire and publish stories of runaway corruption eroding the top echelon of the tunisian government. after when the. eye came and mohammed was did what he did. i think tunisia was nature to. to start to change what's happened in tunisia and also in egypt and it's happening in a few other places these diplomatic cables troll the people that they were actually

right and not trusting in thinking that there was something that was corrupt. and you'll don't steinberg sherm's 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 truly an astonishing we're here to make a short presentation about what we can least project what we don't daniel don't steinberg could be described as co-creator of the internet's most scandalous web site together he understands took the idea of creating a site where any person can safely post secret information anonymously and made it a reality with you weeks 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 wiki leaks at that point and 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 although young had already created something similar to wiki leaks several years before previously he used the cryptome dot org site for publishing classified material secrecy figures. there to be a democracy. that is way over good and so threats for democracy are coming from your side about from the secret keeper. 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 lease lives off donations but they were inconsistent at the time. or two years we were one and a half years we tried to build up weekend weeks as a project me published a lot of documents to try to get funding and it was all 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 amount and. this is nuclear shelter you built during the second world war and modernized during the cold war so we have reconstructed it to a day for starters 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 these type was actually in submarines and so they are jorma submarines from the beginning and the alarming case of front of the alarm starts alarm is actually. one. today behind at least thick walls and heavy doors the reserves carrying thousands

of websites some of them store weekly leaks data. this is the cabin up and you feel down 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 more or it security systems. flow through the roof because i want you must pay or feel they must be able to make it a material there could be a problem the. assumption is team and be very careful about the security of their service after this video was posted on their site tracker to see did. i write. back in two thousand and seven american army service women were caught on camera shooting dead

a reuters reporter and his driver in a baghdad suburb after they mistook them from terrorists q three years after the tragedy we can release publish the video sparking a massive international right now where it shows you errors in the internal judicial mechanisms. shows you that reports about court 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 over what we can 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. because the six year period of war nor any two thousand reports and almost every instant serious incident here with military

was inappropriate behavior with the car and location. as soon as the afghan dossier was made public asuncion 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. those appear to mostly be ameliorated up over you know where we're looking at initially seriously and where we did hold back keep being the report for for the better with they had this sort of. it's just that maybe they think it's a little bit you know if purge the white house i corrals there are systems in every area or. if they're that request.

every week once a week we're meeting in this cafe here's the party leadership we just had a half day meeting says we're under the leadership a little bird has taken over the party leadership. wrapping up breakfast and discussing how to move 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 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 wiki leaks in august of last year they will not us know as they are low. they have received aid from thousands and 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 went in and. brought wiki leaks

the wiki leaks domain online 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. are either fed to translation web sites where the people themselves translate them after receiving them via email russian pirates of the similar site called new leaks it largely mimics water sams has been doing it with the leaks a few leaks have already been made public. what about 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 but there's a big question though is how are they going to send their stuff. in the summer of twenty ten a song together the 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 achree. 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. because clearly the 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 of first weeks a record number of visitors people were hungry for a sensational scoop british business shower frankly when we saw the first set of documents sense 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 you know audience had been looking forward to wild stories about u.f.o.'s or people devouring children when they found nothing of the car and so they simply turned away from us. after the publication of the afghan dossier with the links website and its founder a song to become the world. main 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 because. 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 for it nor would he have imagined that his close companions would desert him although this visit to the swedish capital would lead to his downfall. 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. by august twenty ten julia sauntered become the world's most popular media figure the

wiki leaks founder savor the glory of being alone find it on the soul adversary to the world superpower all attempts by the us or thought is to norms for prosecution against mr ozon 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 accused the wiki leaks founder of sexual assault. they went through the police. primarily to discuss with the police to tell the police what we have been through and get advice what shall we do and then 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 show it bag 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 swedish authorities put the songs on the international wanted list by which time the wiki leaks founder had landed in britain and he 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. that's why they were attending the seminar or the lecture from seoul and they still are for. it is unfortunately a rather common case of sexual abuse we have these cases all over again in sweden

great britain everywhere in the world and this is a case like any other with a difference that you suspect a person. of at the same time tensions inside the wiki leaks team rose to the surface songes friend and colleague daniel dominant bird said he could no longer work with him he withdrew from the project along with many others it was all 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 assan also had a personal conflict when barry introduced the sons to his future wife sandra disapproved of his choice. i fell and. cried immediately and i told

you in as my friend in the only thing he had to recommend was that after trying to find as much. on as i can get so that if she annoys me something in my hands against him. and that was a really weird recommendation for the loss of half of his team was not the most serious consequence of the split for a son's 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 assume he was enraged by his betrayal persones had even threatened his former friend. he once said if i ever put in. you what hunt me down and kill me. and he even repeated that threat a couple of times the wall it's others that estimable. on december the first twenty ten into polish and a warrant for

a soldier's arrest and we 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 vehicle around the world. we. thought it might seem while being away. shortly 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 and velma publicly handed over to his sons to discuss with information on the personal bank accounts but i'd love to do it and there's no it. leaks like

that again if you do it. in order to. try to investigate it and making a decision on it. yes bram bush works as a journalist for the financial times specializing in the subject of bank information theft 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 them to go to court all of them have to pay money back in the year two thousand and eight the german state because of this and the more than one billion of europe that. the method proved to be effective even depositors whose names were not on the dish feared possible criminal prosecution

thousands of germans who preferred not to wait for a subpoena paid their taxes in twenty ten. government and 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. pretty comparable because on one side people sell their dark arts 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 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 no one knew

actually other than julian where it came from and what it was used for and i think that's a just natural if you're working in a team of maybe five to ten people that. there's no need to have secrets you know at least they feels like. and when you ask someone what's happening to money in australia and how much money is there really and that person tells you or you don't have to now. after his rift with the sound overgrowth a book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own website called openly the bad side 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 clegg wants to ditch spy schemes publicists and the self advertising

which is sound seems to like so much is image is what julian wants to create because it characterizes. our. somewhere between a 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 shop and it'll all of this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more about this all and spun. than the actual information. that there. was left south of ministration was introduced to all universities in china zero after the revolution but 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. you are free to over evolution you didn't succeed in all its rules the your participation and your stick with the thinking but just as simply being every day about the new government had me and we will make our business. if it's to succeed only 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. you can see that when early in the regime of. the first victim. of this you could accept mr ballen his friend an assistant summary bend were the ones who had prepared the ground for that

revolution. they learn to walk in the old port town of disaster pirates and use it as a stopping place hundreds of years ago and she makes founders like in themselves to such pirates of centuries past. 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 fire the internet and the growth levy was. the leaks that have been published by and really. played the role of we don't know we cannot make. big wells but it does help with the income and. instead of about the corruption of the family and close number of the family sure we.

are not for this and. certain things. later that same day the streets of tunis he 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 revolutionary 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.
