he's actually responsible. for many more students than most of the so-called award winning journalist have had in their lifetimes he's revealed he just showed us what's behind the curtain and i wrote a piece. saying that he basically liked the cat in the famous story by saki it was a talking cat who basically listened to everybody what they were talking about and reveal their secrets and told them henri frey had a very bad day. today as we worry about that worry about people who do reveal what's behind the curtain it's not as we see at the moment just thinking. twenty ten twenty as we look at his legacy the man's not dead he's been arrested just make it clear to people who are just joining us but what's the best thing he's done for humankind could you say for good looking if you're a supporter of him what was the biggest secret he revealed the biggest good deed that he did if you like. i think there's been so many i think that we can produce

so many interesting papers for example there was a cable in two thousand and six of the u.s. ambassador to syria william grow by reporting back about how the u.s. crew that makes. that kind of exploit sectarian differences in syria after the war that year with lebanon in israel you know so in other words he showed that show that the u.s. plans for syria go way back before the average spring trying to foment discontent in that country there was the stuff they produced about war crimes there was a place in iraq and not collateral murder video remember that one well that's twenty ten million in a decade ago but at the time that was. notorious celebrated the same time when it. yes you know we're not made to see behind the curtain and that's the point we're make except a narrative of what it was. good we are this is what's happening behind the curtain these are the cables that are going out people who say they're not involved in this they are and that's why he's still game just like oh before the happiness of the

story he's revealed things we were not meant to hear about at the time for years wiki leaks was in the headlines all the time but less and less less and less of a leisure culture a wiki leaks fun you're interested in that kind of thing which is wiki leaks down of the moment because let's face it the boss has been holed up for seven years not really saying for the last year you. it's fascinating coming to think back to as you mentioned two thousand and ten eleven when the heyday if you had read we had the relationship with the guardian newspaper the guardian was promoting their stuff they were winning awards during a song and was being feted by the liberal left establishment and then it all went horribly wrong and sour for them because well because he started as we know he was not only picked by producing documentation leaks about official enemy governments but also about that and that's when it sour he was it was fine when he was weak and documents. talking about trying or syria etc or arab countries who are the

leaders of dictators that we wanted to have toppled when he was actually leaking stuff about our governments what they were doing no no no that's when it became this guy's seriously persona non-grata and a big danger to our security so it's fascinating to see how these things change if you go block to post about doing a song from two thousand and eight nine ten eleven all this kind of period he's a hero he's fantastic everybody's loving him and then of course it all changes and he's just dreadful man he's a great threat to all of those you traitor he should be put on trial etc so i think that tells us everything we need to know the fact of the matter is is that we love whistleblowers guilty when they're releasing the secrets of our enemies when they reveal our secrets that they're courageous and i mean that space has become his. and wiki leaks to they've been just too if you like to always call their own good motherhood to reporters without borders has spoken out on the arrest of

a saw and said they'd planned it they said they'd send a song to the west over the wiki leaks activity sets a dangerous precedent that the u.s. may pursue you to what extent would you agree with that. yeah i think there's a big danger here from those who are pursuing the signs that this could backfire that's why i said this may not be the worst case scenario. because let's face it while he was in that state of limbo in the embassy he's in today been cut off he couldn't do any damage he could do any harm to the western powers the u.s. etc now by doing this he becomes addicted quite clearly people a cd a man who doesn't get the best baghdad embassy people sympathy for him and of course the big criticism legitimate criticism from groups like reporters that front journalistic groups will come out and say look this is wrong so there is a big danger here all those who have been pursuing julian assange but it could backfire and he will be seen as a political prisoner and people will rally in his course so it will be all

depends really on a what happens next what happens next here as i said which too early to say that this is the worst case scenario. it might actually in a strange going away be actually a good development for him. you know first he's out of that place he's out of the hold he's been having to live in and stand and they will try to like. and and people. who are more support for his cause than the u.s. has always taken a dim view towards genocide to put it lightly but you know the u.s. will be re entering the world in see is very different now isn't it we have donald trump but the how how differently do you think the u.s. will handle things given that we have at the helm. very good question because of course trump has seen off. he seemed to be too lenient towards a siren call coming out and said look the guy is going to the wrong then of course

you'll get attacks coming back or we know why you get plenty because he you know he worked for he had a show on our he's a russian stooge like so it's going to happen. i guess i think can go too far on this one he comes out and says let me think the effects of you know just on the day the senate will pounce on the big loser in this deal thank you have so much come of so short notice but we know you want to get your teeth into this story massive story and look and see if they would probably come but she did anything. let's just recap what's happened for all of you as if they're just joining us because this big story today this is the sudan story to talk about which you will get to a promise you the big story this morning was the potentially the president of sudan and will bashir has been ousted after thirty years in power will come to that but the main story the shoes are that since in the last two hours that we break in is the the jew this sanchez being forcibly removed from the ecuadorian embassy and

these pictures are about to show you now our cameras capturing the moment exclusively we were there the junior sons was dragged out of the embassy by force you can hear him shouting u.k. resist u.k. must resist and this is the attempt by the trumpet ministration he says now that's a new line there let's listen thing. the words are on her and there we are there is that shocking picture is there than eventual departure from the embassy something we've been expecting anticipating waiting for seven years not heard lloyd about the fact that he thinks that god heard the u.k. must resist but didn't quite catch the first time i've heard it was listed you just heard it now that's interesting one to follow. up also we're hearing because

there's so many stories good news about sudan as well we're in wiki leaks accusing powerful actors including we see oh yeah they say of a sophisticated effort to humanize julian the sun reporters without borders slamming a sunday is a rest of the wiki leaks activity is a dangerous president. also loans in very early on from the u.k. jeremy hunt the foreign secretary saying. the u.k. is concerned sergeant unwelcome visitor is no hero and no one is above the law he said he said he's hidden from the truth of the years. and the russian foreign ministry spokesman again this was a. forty minutes ago saying the hand of quote democracy is strangling freedom he also we heard from dmitri peskov who is president. president putin's. presidential spokesman there got the line he said he was arrested in london so i can't say anything now we certainly hope that his rights will be

respected that came in just about half an hour ago. well it's a very busy news day here in the newsroom i expect this story is going to take precedence on all of the news channels around the world throughout the day and perhaps even longer despite the fact that we do have other racial stories that we want to report to you considering. regarding south sudan but everyone is going to have a comment on julia songs and his arrest and including at russia where the russians a presidential spokesman dmitri peskov has said that he was arrested in london a stance was and that they're not ready to say anything now but they certainly hope that all his rights will be respected. reporters without borders they as i just said they've slammed us songes the rest over the wiki leaks activity as setting a dangerous precedent that the u.s. may proceed. they went indeed now we know that a standard there is what he was shouting at me with been forcibly removed on the

ecuadorian embassy he was day in the u.k. must resist and also make a moment about sarah i want to get well i want to because he just smiles and no idea but because you call it the u.s. side into this because it was crucial along off the after the sweden side of it was knocked out of those sexual assault charges expired it was always the thought that maybe as soon as he got into british police custody despite more ecuador saying here he'll go to a safe place because there were other britain at all that he could well be extradited to the u.s. to face whatever he has to face there were a lot of anger in the u.s. of course. eight ten years ago before he took cover but as you say nikki the world changed a lot now wiki leaks under a sun to publish that huge trove of documents revealing war crimes mass surveillance and corruption let's remind ourselves.

i should return to has to go underground love to see you. live there any issues there as well thanks guys for coming on short notice cause she would appear so if i can come to you first of all. after what triggered today's arrest in the cameras were there we were there we got those exclusive pictures of course but what happened today why did ecuador finally say. well i think one has to look at the deeper context of this of course where he leads did warn within days or hours. last week that something like this would happen but we're getting shown a light on how elites govern their populations in every nation around the world he

was no friend to russia no friend of the united states but what today what today means is that the administration will go all trump i suppose i should say administration because the president of united states did say he loved wiki leaks we know from the u.s. secretary of state michael payer the differences with leaks hostile intelligence service and what today what today means for media all around the world it doesn't matter if you're the new york times the london guardian it doesn't matter if you're establishment media but you can if you start printing anything to threaten elite interests and use sources like wiki leaks you could be in trouble your sources will be in trouble this is a chilling effect on journalism travel until until it gets i'm going to just i should just say actually you did say charges sexual. never go into trial

just sexual assault the propaganda against assad of the we can lead to organization has been profound and certainly the british reporting it today it's we have a president as we saw those pictures obtained by the un of course him being dragged away and of course seventy years is a long time. how much has the world changed since he took cover there. well i should say that. kept abreast of events all the time even under the circumstances and when even his own lawyers were not allowed to go and see him we got to remind view is that those vehicle dorrian government to give him asylum when the change of president could and the i.m.f. suddenly turned up but talking about day to day i met from washington and the cia's trying to talking about a basic agreement today and it would work suddenly even lawyer client privilege seems to have been in the destroyed in the ecuadorian embassy so there he was still trying to keep abreast as best he could of international events so changed but he

knew what he was doing i should also say it was you know in about forty eight hours from wiki leaks claims that there was a three million euro extortion attempt against assad and we're getting all these different claims now sophisticated the united states operation within the embassy apparently these are the allegations now within the embassy are and i should just add that britain has a very important part to play in all of this because of course the u.n. has said that britain was violating. human rights all the signs was under the tree protection and jeremy cool. trick. he is the man who was at the number two person service who was involved in the first tamerlan temptress and julian assange very close to the british government the british really. their role in trying to destroy the wiki leaks organization and trying to you

a defacto help united states secret missions around the world so the big question abstain that everyone's going to be scrambling to find it all is that to you right now is what comes next i mean the ecuadorian president marina is about that will not be extradited to a country where he will face the death penalty but what do you think. well i'm sure . self maybe would be commenting on the plight of the ecuadorian people under lenin merino like many of the so-called lima group the right wing neo con tide that swept to power in latin america argued by many people to be basically washington proxies again then in marino is out of the picture now maybe one day the files will be opened up about what exactly was involved that led us to this day as regards washington and joe relations and we're really went on now it's up to the british the british right now could protect really innocent and say that free speech is

something that people in britain value of course theresa may probably welcome to resume this kind of her time in because because of breaks it is the big news here in britain but it's up to britain or ecuador now to save the name of free speech in this country and around the world yes could it be so many hours or what happens next. stay with us come back to just a second because more reaction cabinet edward snowden of course he's commented now he's saying images of ecuador are inviting to the u.k. secret police as he put it into the embassy to drag the publisher of like it or not award winning journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books as edward snowden songes critics make sure but this is a dark moment for press freedom because the exclusive pictures you're seeing full screen now are video you can see roughly was there we were watching when that story broke we were there we bring you these pictures first hand. british foreign secretary mia hunt talking of which we're going to we're going to come back to you

guys in london a minute. no hero a no one is above the law jeremy hunt says he's hidden from the truth for years thank you ecuador and president let him run if your cooperation with the foreign office to ensure a son he faces justice yes so that's the next question and the sheer. what's next what is going to happen next we know practically he's being taken into custody and then he's going to some point but everyone's very very good says in the nearest possible future but is it days weeks when is he going to go before the magistrates court westminster mergers go under this arrest warrant data from twenty twelve what's the next step any idea exactly we'll have a couple of updates for you wiki leaks have tweeted that ecuador has acted illegally in ten min eighteen mr assange just political asylum in violation of international law and in their statements as well scotland yard has said that mr

sunshine will remain in custody in central london playstation but for as you quite rightly said a pairing at westminster is magistrates court as soon as possible the statement says so that could be a matter of val's a matter of days at the moment it's still unclear as to when that exactly will happen and so are all eyes are on. police statements at the moment in terms of time reference as in when the. guys pull over to mid london thank you for coming back to later because the course is your big story and your big patch will get all the very latest in the year across it we brought you very shortly and. she returns the folks from the. motion capture the moment the story. the julian assange was dragged out of the embassy by force you can hear of show t. if you listen carefully mr the first time you came resist u.k. must resist quota then he went on to say quote this is the attempt by the trumpet

ministration so he obviously thinks that america still has the big hand in this despite the assurances given by the relatively new president of ecuador morello that whatever happens to a son she will end up in a place of safety this is the moment of his arrest these are the exclusive pictures from roughly. there were. ecuadorian president let him in reno laid out the reasons for expelling julian assange claiming they repeatedly violated and he repeatedly violated international conventions from say calls. we'll see if this. isn't based in italy the rest was i have a little it will have no respect also that was pretty deliberate internacional intentionally. considered little if i could persuade others to look at the.

killer conduct evil spirit also you get to see where this unusual in a sense as a clever seal is discovered this is given a sentence this already has usually other encounter that equal is still a total good assume it was committing to vasculitis and. in kill a seal the singular sense is that he will be able to quote the bit on that and that. is a seal diplomatic will all together so your sense in your years we'll see. it is mrs you know i got a lot of the little models is to give a sense yes we have to feel this is he has got to be honest in that he's tell us your little tin back other launders should meet up with this weather because all it is it that most of the community kids will mean more killing it see here with people because it is. considerably less you miss in the medical literature that you see you are sent below great development that is possible in this explicit as can

be still is so a civil diplomatic will demand that either characters. talk to him but his work assume the killer has not just below but the other link that we need to go through to zing pillows which was established. in people said here and they were that was merely sea level or that we. become members of the club is this to get this as you say you're assigned to see this put it up with personal. public assume this and copy the mother continued book because you're a science see you've been clever can we can people learn to be sure this is true because as you in assume. so you have a sense that a call as you will actually meet. people who are close because it is not look at us come out as they would either be equally glutinous are going to be even after a public one of these they will see the plume atika abyssinia will seem to me so this it will go back other person who says that incommunicado even the reporter

another problem but other people know what we call classical greek acquisitive you mean that us will never go. to school this year is it a seal you say you have a sense the man doing this because he's think this is political the committees in total scuffles with local to get this corresponding to a level of a strong liquid or in a lean or the trickle police will close but also there was a little man those military took us to the city i remember the ten year last year because a year or so it's not a city interval it's the least you won't be used with us who talk to us or be that it would be it will be of no return he called. in complete mental discipline business model team. slogan to the us and i mean they saw us it was the us i will be the liquid that. we will be of no not even that a team is not doable hard enough for. a little complete as little as interest and i was equally down to this is it was acquitted which of us this is not

internationally is kevin lowe and the are bad same i live about ten minutes. but you're going to take the afternoon that's a little or i go let me remind our viewers of the big stories you can see on the screen there in big red letters julian. earlier today forcibly arrested taken from against his will the ecuadorian embassy arrested by the metropolitan police. the journalist. and the son who supported john pilger has called for people to fill the street outside the embassy in protective and show solidarity for a courageous man jump ilja. a big fan of his of course. big enemy to a lot of people as well but no matter what you think about this man holed up you almost custody ok of his own free will but things started to go wrong when the new president of ecuador back in twenty seventy we heard stories much less a tuna sandwich then heard these stories the internet was being cut was much more

of a hollow welcome being afforded him there and there was a rumble going around that's why our cameras were there roughly outside bring you these exclusive pictures of the moment there is tucson's again if you're just joining us and you haven't seen your son for a while none of us are really hadn't been out very much of the show himself at the balconies he normally does but not glimpse what a different man forty seven years old sort of say this julian you are looking at all the great considering what you are going through no way to exercise nowhere really to get daylight nicky was saying earlier on this place that he use holed up in this really just offices to deal with it was is an embassy suite but it's not somewhere where you're designed to be cooped up for my own seven years yet is that you ation has really deteriorated we've heard over the years how his health has gone downhill that we knew that his internet had been cut you know his only lifeline really in visitors had been stopped into the embassy so you know

everything really has just gotten worse and worse for julian assange in recent years and it's all culminated in this in today really we've been waiting for this day for seven years and here he is and now all we need to know what problem is a lot of people will none of us know what's going to happen to them next week of the ecuadorian president saying no this man is going to be safe he's not going to be sent anywhere there where there's a death penalty he's going to have a real bad fate but hang on find the ecuadorian embassy the embassy the president to say that lovely sentiment but it begs the question what what. what control was ecuador got over this now that he's away from the hallowed grounds of the ecuadorian embassy. see no man can pass a nation into as the police were invited into day officially by the ecuadorian embassy oh boy they were in a fuss what ecuador what leverage ecuador has got now over where he ends up next he is under british law british custody he's. being held and he will be taken to

westminster magistrates court to be shown at some point as soon as possible we're still trying to get a handle on what means like everyone else is is it hours is it days is it weeks before he has to face whatever he has to face there this a warrant issued way back in twenty twelve of course a lot of people still very angry with you at times change seven years a chair and some of the younger people here they were when this some new guys work in the newsroom near the hagar shows you know i was just leaving school and. the good question is the big question is how much. how much animosity is this still hanging over this man how much ill feeling is there and where is he going to end up . contributor saying no it's a good thing. neil clark sorry neil clark say it's a good thing that he's finally out of there well that may be but you know the

question is is the frying pan into the fire forty seven year old to his sons looking at the school yard site again just if you're joining us telling you what they're saying what the met is saying saying he was arrested by officers from the metropolitan police service at the embassy there to a house christmas south-west one on a warrant issued by westminster magistrates court twenty ninth for june twenty twelve for failing to surrender to the court but then further they say he'll be taken into custody at a central police station which has happened in london where he will remain before being presented before the westminster magistrates court as we were saying as soon as possible whatever that means we're going to get our guest to try and get a handle on what that means maybe. get a solicitor on the line as well to say what is right except for the final cover get to this before a committee again nikky over it says the old saying they had a duty to execute the warrant on behalf of westminster magistrates court and crucially were invited into the embassy by the ambassador following the ecuadorian

government's withdrawal of asylum i.e. the day ecuador said your number is up. the will not take pictures that we've been showing you on a loop because that's the tone for the rest of the day's news now and as we know as he was being dragged down forcibly from the embassy he was shouting the u.k. must resist and it begs a question who is the appealing to the appealing to his supporters his passionate supporters that he has so many of we've seen him camping outside the embassy we've seen the protests for and we've seen prominent u.k. celebrities then and politicians and abroad calling for his release. and it's going to make headlines for well out in the u.k. must resist but already we've heard from the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt who said julian assange is no hero and no one is above the law so we'll see why no foreigners coming and going to take more leave where there's so much on this to come please don't stay tuned to us downloader up for these headlines as they come in you've known about this as it happened check out our website r t v dot com and

don't forget these pictures you're seeing exclusive our cameras were there we were stationed on the spot where the news happened and we're pleased that you're watching or so you can see it happening as well although as i say fans of julia science will be very very concerned about what's going to happen to him today. i'm kevin zero in here and will be taking over along the rest of the team shortly for me i'll say good bye and just let you go with this one wiki leaks claimed wednesday the judea sons had been the subject of extensive spying since two thousand and twelve saying it was orchestrated by the u.s. the material apparently contains recorded video and ordeal material plus. photos monitoring his every move listen to that. word. an extensive spying or ration against. within the ecuadorian embassy has been living in a sort of a. truman show like situation inside the embassy what we have to stop

this is that security cameras were used to monitor his every move and quite like this year with the truck administration a few weeks ago we learned that some individuals in spain. where passing around the information that they had at much of total filth documents relating to julian assaults because a. e-mail back from the individual identify himself as pm. where he said that this material. has a price the price is from three million euros it was photographs of julian inside the embassy visitors' lopes for the photographs. letting lap and you're watching the.
