10:31 am
a conference on the transition of power all of this as part of their effort to oust the syrian leader. fighting continues in libya with over one hundred killed in a week of tribal clashes as the interim government fails to end violence in the post gadhafi state. and while julian assange is fighting his battle against extradition to sweden and for political asylum from ecuador we discussed the future of his wiki leaks project with the website's press spokesman kristen huffs on what's next. thank you very much for joining us can you tell us how you came to join wiki leaks well. joining us ours was working quite a lot in iceland in the winter of two thousand and nine and two thousand and ten and after actually here year we could be produced a tremendously important leak in two thousand and nine with exposed corruption
10:32 am
within the iceland banks. superstation school. of the light on why the entire banking system in iceland webster two thousand and eight i met him in that the period when he was doing. among other things on supporting the project the icelandic modern media initiative. we befriended he. showed me the collateral murder video i was at the time working for the state television and of course offered my help and it became. basically a joint project to with between the ice and the state television and we can use. and join then we can use pool time in the summer of two thousand and ten and how's it being feel you've been described as sort of the second public face of wiki leaks having stepped into this much more spotlighted role so to speak at such a difficult time with wiki leaks. have you been finding it i've been finding
10:33 am
extremely interesting and it journalist would find it interesting to take part in the biggest leaks in history. basically transform. politics in certain areas and it's been a total game changer it's a paradigm change is saying is a generous but it's like working and what do you perceive is the other journalists response because we've seen a lot of the. wiki leaks and julian assange. well i mean there is a very mixed feelings among journalists and we have worked with a lot of excellent journalist who understand the importance of what we can use we also work with other journalists who have to go back and we have failed. very strange and most of the. people of the world. it is hard to say what exactly forces so. they have many of them being. dishonest and spiteful in their in their. covering of. i have no
10:34 am
idea. but it's extremely strange there's a disappointing two to experience that for me as a journalist for more than twenty years but it's a fact ok i want to talk to you about wiki leaks as a how do you think there's a concern there that the focus is moved away somewhat from the really important aspect of it which is these incredible leaks. actually this sort of idea about wiki leaks as a whole in julian assange that's maybe a shadowing more important aspect of it now does that concern me well i mean the focus has. always been an independent kind of thing that we have not been able to always. decide upon how it was handled i mean. for example like in the first probably the day too. the collateral murder video.
10:35 am
release in april of two thousand and ten i was surprised by the fact that the biggest stories were actually on the leak itself and secondly on julian assange has . the fact that this is a video that is exposing. a war crime got much less attention and still hasn't gotten the attention it deserves but it's the media for you. the media will decide where the focus is and that's the reality we live in a way to see the future of wiki leaks always very hard i mean we have. we have been starved of ninety five percent of our funds julian assange is facing a legal battle. we know that in virginia there is a secret grand jury trying to find those of bringing cases against julian and or possibly others in the organization. people that have and are supporting we can use
10:36 am
our being harassed when they. tell us even us citizens so we it's hard to see where the future is but. i believe that despite. everything we look back at the accomplishments are we could do so they are . great in this period to say this is a battle between wiki leaks in big corporations government. is a battle. against corruption. and lies secrecy. and he thinks going to win. well it's hard to say but let's hope that. rupert murdoch was right in the early fifty's when he was on a tour in australia where he. wrote in the editorial.
10:37 am
in the race between truth and secrecy truth will always win. i hope he'll remember these words himself but somehow i doubt if you're an effective journalist and i think. which is the thing that is being one of the world's strongest when it comes to the legal rights protected to whistleblowers what you think is the other countries are following state well iceland is on the path of changing the laws to to make it a very strong. shield for journalists and whistleblowers. it's a long term projects but after the economic collapse in no time two thousand and eight when everybody was agreed was caused by lack of transparency and likely formation so this is a. nation was. ready for for a total overhaul of the legal system it will take some time but sometimes shock
10:38 am
like that from the entire nation spectacular show total meltdown economy. creates the right atmosphere for. decide for improvement in this nature one of the part of things that can come out of such situations but i suppose the shocks can also work the other way because the scene of this is the u.s. and some extent by sort of almost taking steps backwards and there's a sense maybe that these big corporations that are now under threat that the sort of transparency wiki leaks would bring fighting back against this now. now with that is certainly the trend i mean the situation comically are worse stream with dire i mean it was a. spectacular meltdown i mean the banking sector. was ten times the size of the local economy ten times the g.d.p. of iceland when it all collapsed over a few days you can imagine the consequences. in other places like here in britain i
10:39 am
mean there was a bailout. basically the taxpayers had to shoulder the burden to keep the banks like they were too big to fail. years which. all over all over yet what we're seeing of course was this trend. which was so much to. crack down it was a point with. totally contrary to to be slow and gradual improvement in the legal environment that we've seen. over the years. of longo with some more protection i was introduced here in u.k. a similar one and us but still we received basically a systematic crackdown on whistleblowers especially in the us a very serious one were all from one nine hundred seventeen the espionage act it's been used to. haunt those who are basically blowing the whistle blowing the whistle
10:40 am
on. illegalities corruption which is hurting the general public and costing the taxpayer money ok so we think that the legal protections afforded to potential whistleblowers can't necessarily be relied on at the moment which is an organization that predates these anonymous leaks what can you actually offer a whistleblower when they come to you how much genuine protection can you offer then. we'll have you know the a track record of. is impressive in that respect i mean nothing no nobody that has contributed material to weeklies has been exposed by anything that we can use has done so. hopefully the states like that we have we are still working on reopening the anonymous electronic dropbox which allows people to submit information to is with. it being traced to them in any
10:41 am
manner we we wouldn't be able to do it ourselves even let's hope that they will that will open soon meanwhile we've heard from a shouldn't delivered. who us and published had been asleep but. it is a very very important channel to have for whistleblowers ok thank you very much it's a. wealthy british style site. but i'd like to find. the. market why not
10:42 am
