7:10 pm
should come about through dialogue this isn't the first time we've heard speculation of a sergeant six year tenure at the ecuadorian embassy coming to an end it is the first time such hints have come from such a high official the president of ecuador himself saw and of course has been a asylum seeker effectively at the embassy since two thousand and twelve he fled there six years one month ago afraid that he would be extradited to the united states where he's wanted of course for publicly leaking those military and diplomatic cables which celebs war crimes and human rights violations now of course all this comes in the light of those reports about negotiations between the ecuadorian government and the british government to come to some sort of conclusion to bring this matter to an end the u.k. government has denied that this issue specifically was discussed during president rose recent visit to the u.k. but they have confirmed that negotiations have generally taken place and are
7:11 pm
continuing to take place to resolve the matter lamoriello himself it has to be said it's not a big fan of assad she's criticized him describing him as a stone in the shoe as a hacker labeled as an inherited problem inherited because of course it was granted asylum under the presidency of rafael air now though from with this administration it has been far from smooth sailing for the whistleblower for a person to stay confined like that for so long is tantamount to human rights violation the only concern i have is that i have never agreed with the songes activity i don't agree with hacking private e-mails to be able to obtain information no matter how valuable it is to expose certain undesirable acts of governments all people of course six years of confinement have taken their. toll on a song to have been concerns about his welfare just last month in fact foreign office minister alan duncan expressed those concerns to parliament stating
7:12 pm
assurances would be sought about his welfare should he leave the embassy saw an internet access was recently cut off and the visits available to him by third parties have also been limited leaving very much questions both from the public and the media about just how and when this six year saga will finally come to an end.
7:13 pm
the government loyalties traditions that they feel. are inside one of the diplomatic missions decided to give them up to the side. where. i. was a child was planted on the ground will descend into civil war income is empowered to grant national. because of great regret that julian assange remains in the ecuadorian embassy it's about this miserable walked out of the embassy and gave himself up to british
7:14 pm
justice. well i was granted political asylum back in twenty two hours by ecuador's then president rafael correa he spoke to r.t. about the latest twist in the case. that a songes actions were absolutely unlawful the state has a right to keep secrets but assad was granted asylum not as an apology for his actions it was because there were no guarantees that the investigation would be held in the proper manner and now marina says dialogue is needed ecuadorans know what that means is total hypocrisy murano talks about dialogue or making deals behind the scenes he already has an agreement with us on what will happen to her sons and now he is just trying to sweeten the pill by talking about dialogue but i'm afraid and i said it's a few months ago that the days of his songes presence in our embassy are almost over if he leaves the embassy without a guarantee of safety he will end up in u.s. the legal framework being used to build the case against him at last

a capital punishment and even if that was not the case the laws for people such as the science and his alleged deeds a different no one says it is a crime to spread confidential information asuncion manning stole this information but it was the media who spread it why does no one say anything about that because they are part of the system they want to give the impression that the information was stolen without mentioning that it was them who spread it this is just apocrypha a former m i five intelligence office animations says this development in the case is a bad sign for the wiki leaks boss. i think it's certainly worrying for us and yes there's no doubt about it because the incoming president inequitable seems to see him as a problem he's also under pressure from the americans and from the international monetary fund to raise funding for his country and apparently it's been speculated reporters that been threats that this might be withheld if they don't if he does not resolve the song's case but i think he's right to be worried about being

extradited on with the united states where his organization wiki leaks has already been categorized by michael compare as a hostile intelligence agency where politicians been calling for his assassination for the death penalty for the rest of his life in prison and all for publishing just as any other media organization publishes so i think the concern is what the british will do and of course the british government is an also very difficult position with briggs's they can't afford to annoy their american cousins too much at this juncture of british history so it's a bit of a mess every which way now a powerful drug cartel has been busted by a dog more details on that after the break. everywhere in the world my guess is that probably just about everywhere women expect men to make their first move and here we are in an age where men are scared
