8:00 am
group into an anti left wing spying operation really outrageous you write extensively about the spy catcher fox. i told the story because historically it's never been told it was a kind of spike at conspirators this is a book this is a book by a former in my five man who which mrs thatcher took an absurd. decision to drop it to ban it all around the world in america and australia because she couldn't bad it in america it was vitally published but it was a strange book was written by a right wing fanatic who should never be modified but he was he was a deputy director he believed that the director of five was a soviet spy. he believed the deputy director to revive he believed it when m i five operations went well he believed it was because the senior figures were
8:01 am
leaking it to the russians whereas of course they went wrong because of their own incompetence because it wasn't called that is that we shouldn't be worried that they go to governments and ideas have these were being overthrown like our wilson's government because it wasn't me but they were incompetent right wing fanatics and they never got anywhere but spycatcher was interesting because when i first defended it i thought this is in the public interest to show the level of penetration of russian spies in the cold war in our top security but when i read it. i thought the case against the head of m i five is hopeless it's very thin. and the real public interest is that m i five had a director who was paranoid right wing and stupid i think. he was right should never have got to that position. and i thought it was in the
8:02 am
public interest that that should be revealed geoffrey robertson because copy that more from geoffrey robertson and above all when something the religious want after the break. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somehow want to be pressured. into going to be press was like them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. question. the other financial survival job today was about money laundering first to visit
8:03 am
the status of the three different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in europe something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in their kleptocracy we just have to give me a call and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got home got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about. luxury automobile again for max they know what money you want to hire illegal. watch keyser of course. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only and. that strategy will be successful very.
8:04 am
welcome back i'm still here with one of the world's greatest human rights lawyers jeffrey roberts and jeffrey i want to get on to julian assange and wiki leaks in a bit of course you've been a big defender of his but you wrote recently about the jeremy thought case the political leader here was done for ordering an assassination hugh grant was lately in a film about there's some legacy there. is a young barrister in the seventy's and the public have just come to appreciate this extraordinary story of the head of the liberal party ordering the death of one of his loved ones by an incompetent who killed the dog. we threw me was and he escaped but i thought it was try it was there at the trial and the one legacy when
8:05 am
a juror actually spoke and said how they wanted to convict but through the incompetence of the prosecution and the bias of the judge was all in favor of the establishment judge give. something up they felt they couldn't and the new statesman published this and it was prosecuted i defended it but we were interviewing a jury but then made a law against it so jurors know secrecy and you can't reveal the secrets of the jury even if the jury toss a coin to do. side with the guilt or innocence and tweeting yes you can you can reveal it how does that relate to the jury innocence case well it was a surprise one of the establishment covers cover ups that happened in britain in the seventy's and it doesn't relate directly to the julian assange case other than
8:06 am
julian has exposed a great deal of secrets of the. modern establishment and has when he was in court in fact when i was acting for him he performed a little service to journalists by getting a ruling that they could tweet from court which they'd never been allowed to previously you claim in the book that high up contacts in obama's white house have told you that he is wanted by the pentagon oh there's no doubt about that i mean there's doubt in downing street we never hear that from downing that we hear it from the white house i mean donald trump to give us a trump in two thousand and sixteen said i love the leaks when it was exposing the crockery in the democratic party but now his cia director is arresting this is
8:07 am
a priority now sanjay jeff is now secretary of state and as jeff sessions is attorney general it's a priority and we know they've got a grand jury sitting. the charges add up to forty five b. is the same as the charges were brought against chelsea manning they're planning to a new legal theory i mean the first amendment is the core a protector of journalists in america you know what they're doing they're going to argue that it doesn't apply to foreign journalists it only applies to journalist born in america protected so they won't prosecute the new york times they'll prosecuted co-publisher julian assange because he's an australian and i think this is moving up to be a major free press issue he's been in the ecuadorian embassy for six years we charges brought against him in sweden have been withdrawn
8:08 am
he only has america to fear if he leaves the embassies today he'll be arrested held for a short time for breach of bail and in that time the u.s. foreign secretary will order an extradition request so he could be kept in prison a real prison for years fighting that u.s. extradition request to prosecute him as a spy and i think this is really unsatisfactorily at its all out bet that the forces of freedom in the world don't actually get behind it is a difficult person his only autistic spectrum he thinks but he's had all internet communication withdrawn he now lives as a prisoner he'd probably have more freedom if he was moved to
8:09 am
a british prison i think if the cia were really smart they would need to him anonymously of course some of their debt on mr putin they would perhaps give him some evidence. about the litvinenko poisoning if you remember there was the killers drop plutonium traces all over london it's. beyond reasonable doubt that they were guilty yet. if the cia leaked some of that information to. i believe the man who's principled enough to publish it will exact it printed probably sort of again he will publish anything that is in the public interest and that he has done and that he would do i think even if it connected putin to a murder in london or some. poisoning which is there is strong evidence against
8:10 am
russia he would probably shoot if it were leaked to him so i think he's a person of very considerable principles and actually very considerable courage. the current of course deny that everything goes as logical and the evidence of course the flip side i believe money courtrooms is the poor in britain try to move forward just as you say in the book you picketed the ministry of justice you endorse the boss strike in twenty fourteen it's very likely the devil have to have to do it again here is the state of justice here in the austerity brewing. britain one of the great things britain did was in the one nine hundred forty s. after the war set up a national health service that's terrific and it's renowned throughout the world it also set up a national legal service it set up legal aid so that everyone no matter how poor
8:11 am
could have a reasonable defend if prosecuted or could if they had a civil action to save the family home or whatever could have a lawyer to represent them sadly over the last twenty years governments have just ignored the need for legal a cottage back and back and barristers who are now defending the poor will get about half the amount of money because their pay isn't index linked and some young barristers in my chambers if they have to take a train off to birmingham to defend a poor person end up paying more in expenses than they ever are paid in legal under the legal aid scheme so i took to write a letter protest barristers in their weeks and demonstrating outside the court in two thousand and fourteen where we had a particularly stupid. justice minister who christopher grayling. who bad prison
8:12 am
is from having books just briefly on official michael x. friends of john lennon he made a promise to him before he was executed about torture. what was the case of michael x. of the provocative acts was a black polydor in. burton in the sixty's he ended up almost death row in trinidad and i visit him that i was a young barrister and i sat with him on death row in trinidad with about thirty men need monkey cages mattress a cells eight foot by six foot and they had all the rituals of the british hanging had been kept by trinidad and you couldn't have a. bad hanging good because the constitution and the down by britain expressly preserved the death penalty but it also had a section not prohibited talked. and as i sat with michael day after day
8:13 am
screaming boys the coffin e of death row i said to him this is a place of mental torture maybe we could argue that since the constitution prohibits torture this death row is a form of torture and a prolonged stay on it amounts to torture so that the death penalty has to be commuted and i never forget he put his fingers to his lips as he. said just listen and you could hear a pin drop all those men were pressing against the monkey cages and he said you must make that argument for them not for me they're going to kill me whatever but make it for them because you represent it so i made a promise to michael they did kill him they dragged him to the gallows the day before we were trying put on another motion to save his life and. twenty years
8:14 am
