7:30 am
exclusive pictures ready set the tone for this story barry is being dragged out forcibly from the ecuadorian embassy in the u.k. must resist well will the u.k. resist or won't it we'll find out in the coming hours and days no doubt but for now we'll be bringing you all the latest as soon as we hear it well it was really difficult to see him looking length as he does really look like a broken man as we do know that his health has reported the deteriorated over the past seven years that he's holed up in the embassy and again with the treatment options which were really limited due to his inability to leave that particular building so it was again very difficult to see him looking like this and now you can really see the difference because we're going to take you back to two thousand and twelve when altie showed a series of political interviews hosted by julian assange himself coming up next is
7:31 am
the first stop the well tomorrow programs with guest has been the leader sayyid. julian assange. will be exposed to. these talking is. being attacked by the united states truong week in miami. at least for a hundred days now being detained without charge but was in full. force. today to quit. this week i am joined by a guest from a secret location in lebanon he is one of the most extraordinary figures in the middle east. he has for many battles with israel and is now caught up in the international struggle with syria i want to know why is he called a freedom fighter by millions and at the same time
7:32 am
a terrorist by millions of all of. this is his first interview in the which since the two thousand and six israel living on pool his party. is a member of the libyan government he is its leader saeed. are you ready. i'm ready to go. what is your vision for the future of israel and palestine bought board his book consider victory if you had said victory would you disarm. so easy that the state of israel does not say that it is an illegal state it's a state that was the stubbornness on the basis of occupying the land so there's a lot of usurping the lands of as i said i love you all are controlling by force tonight and some as much as they are committing massacres against about visiting me
7:33 am
ask you who were expelled. based including muslims and christians to tell you that is so. yes just as happy as well no justice for all remains remains of their messiah when he has a policy of all the. progress of time does not send justice into not that's not the making of them all just as they as if it's my how they feel about the field house and i go ok by force it doesn't become mine and fifty or one hundred us just because i'm stronger than you i've yet been able to ok to tell you what has that doesn't give me that doesn't legalise why i should leave your house and. these places are ideological if you and i mean close you know and we need that by this time belongs to the palestinian people. but if we wanted to. combine that walk idealogy on a lot of the political realities and religious on the ground we should say that the only solution is we don't want to we don't want to kill anyone we can't afford to
7:34 am
be treat anyone not just a name i mean one just just to be restored the only solution is the establishment of one sunday to the one state on the land of palestine going to the magnificence of the jews and the christians and if he is in a democratic state any other solution. will simply not be viable and in the west the state and israel says it. has fired rockets into israel the law at civilian areas is true. the world. throughout the past year has been the i mean we're not even since nine hundred forty eight when the state of israel was created on the land of palestine where the israeli forces have been shelling except for indians lebanese civilians in the book the nepalese towns and lebanese villages. for the work of the poem my interest in the resistance that's between one thousand nine hundred. ninety two.
7:35 am
after ten years of resistance. that we started reacting to. the. only and strictly to stop israel shelling our civilians the focus so the one thousand nine hundred three map that there was an understanding. that it was in direct between the resistance and israel and the understanding that no i mean listen we have one thousand nine hundred six and that understanding they sent. makes clear that both sides are following shelling civilians and we always used to say if you don't close. shell of it is and sounds and we have nothing to do with yours it is just in your town so this message has been logged has resulted so we did after an unknown year of aggression against lebanese civilians to hide and. to make a kind of that terror and balance to prevent israel from killing that he said. according
7:36 am
to wiki leaks cables coming out of the us embassy in women on. you said you were shocked. about how corrupt his beloved members are problematic because some. members were driving around in. issues he is wearing so. you have to do not how do you know. buying takeaway food. to take away. is this a natural consequence of his meeting in two electoral politics we've been living on . what they said. about about this this phenomenon is not correct. this is part of the room. they want to use to discredit distort its image this is anyway the old
7:37 am
media part of the media war against us and you know they talk about us they say. that we operate you know matthew organization and the same. drug trafficking organizations around the world which even though you know religion and you know armorel it's a need this is not absolutely one of the biggest bands that it's something we fight against that it's a lot of things that are based. and i wouldn't want to offend to you know this and this thing is not correct. secondly on what they said recently. what i say. it's just a very limited phenomenon and the reason for it is that. there are some you know rich families with which were not which in the past were not supporting hezbollah or supporting it it's a lie or its ideology or its program and you know after two thousand and one when
7:38 am
the resistance in lebanon and has a lot of hospital as a main purpose component of the resistance they managed to liberate so it's kind of a non that was seen as a kind of a miracle if you have created a great shock in lebanese society and my cousin. how could this small group like this just stand for thirty three days and face the englishwoman because the most powerful army in the region is without being defeated when actually so there are groups inside syria which started considering that it. has been also the ones as it has been out and they come from you know wealthy. life consistent with their financial capability so you know it's you know this is a they say this phenomenon moved his beloved if it's not true i say this really confident and with the information i've been able to meet this is not really a normal and everybody's remedy. why have you
7:39 am
supported the arab spring in museo. egypt and other countries. in syria. they might well be clear reasons or learned first. learned that the originally first principle we don't want to interfere in the interference of arab states that's always been our policy for the album had been developments and there of the world had been excited very serious and very importantly nick said that nobody really knew moved the you know policy can just not take a position regarding them and. move on. in syria everybody knows that i was pushed out of the s.s. regime i wonder if he has supported all the resistance in lebanon supported the resistance in palestine and as it takes not back down in the face of his radiant american pressure. he says received which serves the palestinian cause very well.
7:40 am
if you will you what you want what we call for in serious negotiations dialogue is there a format for there was always going to be carried out because the alternatives to that no one cause of the first season but also inside syria because the sensitivity of the situation in syria the alternatives to which they need to settle war and this is exactly what america and israel want for syria. over the weekend over one hundred people the night of the fueling homes including a journalist i had dinner with a year ago mary colvin i can understand your logic in saying that we should not just destroy a country for noise and that it is much better to reform a country if possible but does his book have a ridgeline called if there are one hundred thousand people killed one million people killed when will has. there is a lot of. the mood of the death of this from the beginning of the events in syria
7:41 am
we've had encounters constant promises i made sure of that and we spoke and as friends about them obama giving each other advice about the importance of carrying out reform is that right from the beginning i personally found that president assad was very willing to carry out a radical and important we'll have this then they will come in and this used to reassure us that we got in the positions that we had them in when i saw them but more than one occasion publicly i used to give speeches and say this and say this and i think about that and in my own and in my meetings with various lebanese and arab and other political leaders no i said while in the same things that i am confident that president assad wants reform enough of this and i won't leave the area with forms. and you have a mile of the above the opposition has to agree and i'll say most of this why this is the first time i said this we. tend to even elements of the opposition to encourage their family and to facilitate the process of dialogue with the ratio of
7:42 am
these parties to reject god another good be right from the beginning of we've had the regime this is willing to go reforms and prepare for what i don't know not on the other side you have and what they say that the church is not prepared for tell us that one is not of the world was not prepared to accept any reforms and is all it wants is not to bring down the regimes are open up another thing may as you if you switch what's happening in syria. has to be limited and then it was into law it's not just with one eye. at the armed groups in syria if you have a militant very many civilians. where do you see this syrian situation going more troops. to stop the killing. you have spoken about talked loria how does stand one dialogue is very easy to talk about but on the practical measures. to france or not the bloodshed occurring in syria.
7:43 am
in the previous question there's something i didn't i didn't mention but i'll add it to this going to listen so there's certainly some states offer money to provide money to provide your hands which encourage ng fighting the side syria and some of these arab countries on their own on their own countries as well as from one side homophobia there's a very serious issue as well which is a concern and we all heard him a doctor a man and so well. when he when he called for the fighting in syria. to arms and so so there are so there are fighters. who arrived in syria and then others that have that are following them had a. from various countries. and they're trying to turn syria into a battleground let you put them in muslim countries that provide the wellness and money. would be able to suit. opposition groups and they're supporting to sit down a bit table and result things but i think i said just
7:44 am
a few days ago that certain air of the country is up with the it was the bad luck this summer that soon we have ten years time to go into the van it's called allying with israel for tens of years nonstop there's just like everything that is resident the region but they want to get one year or two years for a political or even just a few months to talk for a political situation in syria and this just doesn't make any sense and it's unfair would you be willing to years of mediate between these opposition groups and the outside regime people trust that you are not an agent of the united states. but will they trust that you are not an agent of the ask the regime if they can be convinced. except through brokers that. it has a will but some of the experience of the thirty years of hezbollah's life moves is you know it's as a friend of syria not an agent. syria. so you know the theory that there have been periods of lebanon's political and. cheering which our relationship with syria turn
7:45 am
was not good we had problems in the tween us there were problems between only then and now those who used to benefit from the political. influence of syria in lebanon they are now the ones who are or who are. hosing us were as we used to be under pressure from syria we are friends we're not occasions by syria the various segments of the syrian opposition know that when all the political forces in the region know that we are friends. for as a first and second they have this when i say we support a potential cause of the most and the most that and most certainly will be willing to accept any that all any contribution and this yes to achieve that sort of vertical solution in the person i said jim knew that with you we contacted some parties but they refused to get into it a.j. i know with the regime so any any group that wants i would rather be dialogue with
7:46 am
the regime and would like us to be to be go betweens will be more than happy to mediate either but we are asking others and we have to do just to make the effort to help to to create a political solution. i believe that these opposition groups would find his followers grow more credible if you said to the syrian regime of us so that we have a red line. is the syrian regime free to do what it wants as far as hezbollah is concerned for all this all the things that his blood will not accept. that he and that he has assured us that they i think that president bashar assad has red lines and there are brothers in syria have red lines how difficult and we reaffirmed these red lines that we should have all of all i'm biased but the problem. he said there is fighting going on with. only when one side to the
7:47 am
extreme the other one advances and how this yet so long as it all was to appear to us and we should not close in on this goes out and this is going to continue because even if one party retreats the other one would have. an easier has to clear rule of recognize the syrian regime anymore why has two zero taken this strong move to disconnect itself from syria in the heart of it i believe vocal for the head the position that was taken in tunis what else will be. incomplete construes i would say incorrect i would say incomplete. because of course there is a there is even mistaken incorrect information which was presented to our advance and what's going to governments here when it was told when they were told that the regime is going to fall just within a matter of weeks so a lot of them wanted to be partners to this anticipated victory and i don't conceal
7:48 am
also my belief that i forget or perhaps the reason for some of these positions taken on the death of the us because the. government has placed tough terrorists there and they believe that they it's not is not the time to start getting into arguments with the u.s. and the west and things like that and it's better to pays them and go along with them in a lot of these issues you have made a international media network the united states is blocking probably broadcasting into u.s. . at the same time united states to clear it is a free speech why do you think the us government. or merely don't have the up. as well when they want to be able to tell people that has one of the say in terrorism terrorists organizations if it kills them it murders but they want people to listen to us hype of a high for example if there wasn't just
7:49 am
a trial and yet we're very lenient the defendant should have an opportunity to defend themselves. but the us administration. we have we're a community but we don't even have that very basic right to define how to defend ourselves the united were given arguments all the time that peoples of the world won't have the insoles so they are preventing this from reaching. so as a leader in war how did you manage to keep your people together under the face of the enemy far. as i know it is the main thing as far as i'm concerned is that we have an objective we specify the objective the subject. of human and moral. or ethical and faith based and patriotic what if there is no debate about it this objective is to liberate our land from occupation and this is the original reason the real reason why hezbollah was established in the first
7:50 am
place and there's no dispute about this among lebanese when over the world we did not want to be one of them did not want to get into government we did not compete and it will never be the first time we entered the government and in government was in two thousand and five and they showed there was not in order to have a share of the approach. to protect the back of their is and so that this government the government that was set up in two thousand wouldn't make any incorrect mistake and it came to the resistance we had fears of then i. wouldn't. you have objective correct objectives and i make it my priority one i have always all of the rifle reason for the sake of this objective that i give everyone close together and people cooperating actually achieve this objective until this moment we we are getting older and internal squabbles as far as we can have you can see there are many many issues and levanon about which there are huge arguments and
7:51 am
differences over we have points and sometimes even expressing all of you were taking a position so as not to get involved no morals and people our priority is still ahead we'll have the liberation of our land and the protection of lebanon from the israeli threat because we believe that never not it's still faces a threat. i want to back to where you were you were the son. what boy is your first memory as a boy in this home in a long time did these are the memories affect your political thoughts. because they are naturally complete before i was a child but as a little child. i was born and lived and lived in the posh home fifteen years. since i was born in a neighborhood to say i can be in east beirut at that high level imagine what i'm
7:52 am
in that neighborhood had certain characteristics of the after had to be and naturally the environment leaves the leaves have an effect on one person as i say has a value and one of the characteristics of this neighborhood is simply the support and they. used to have myths. and anything that was. sunni muslims get the message it was christian and you should see that with armenia and it's that they were kurds. and also you want nothing else they will look nice and palestinians are both and they will it was so i was bored and the. in this very mixed in fairytale environment or at a pub so naturally this made this made me sort of concerned for the scene about palestine and the injustice which the palestinian people had been subjected to so i had on a very early awareness of that because the palestinians who were in our neighborhood when they were all expelled from there. for america from jerusalem
7:53 am
from ramallah. this was the environment that i was born and brought up. using of yours about israeli incursion anticorruption this is interesting to me because i am an expert in encryption and need to feel. the sheer and. extensive surveillance do you remember this story in the book at the house yes i was speaking about. me about how simplicity can defeat complexity. and for example working with the israeli forces in the use very sophisticated technology to have their in their weapons or in their communications. the resistance on the other hand is a popular resistance and out of that most of the young men in that are just some clever ordinary french boys and they come from farms and small towns and they come
7:54 am
from an agricultural community. and basically he's a the lot of the they speak an ordinary walking talking to. you there's no there's no complication about it they're very simple devices but when they use the woman who's when they use code they simply use the kind of language that kind of slang that is used in their villages and among that families so anyone listening on us or anyone listening sort of behind the surveillance devices and having computers trying to you know trying to decode pennies there's kind of a. yes there will never be sure there won't be easily able to find out what this means and that's what i have left for you as they that among these visits. look like for example they use certain words of the poem just to find it's kind of. you know the cooking pole don't clean. but i was going to even finish things with all of with. you know the father of the chicken or something like this you
7:55 am
know it's. me intelligence come back again come back here to add your list i'm going to understand who the father of the chicken is and why they call him the father of the chicken. or the so that's not going to do you and even then we can do some of the we're going to do that it tends. to just make one very provocative course that it will read and. then just if there is a and it is not political well it could now laser surveillance. you have for the against many of the united states isn't a law or the notion of a god the ultimate super powers and shouldn't you as a freedom fighter also seek to liberate people from the totalitarian concept over want to feel god. we believe that god almighty who is the creator. of this existence
7:56 am
and of human beings and of all created creatures. when we created us. gave us capabilities and gave us one small deeds and that is the case the psychological and spiritual capabilities we call it instinct. people in isolation denies the nation from religious law was just they have an instinct. but they have an instinct to tell the truth they have an instinct against them. i'm a little i think it's about justice it's good that you can chose to suspect. that well. i'm just trying to be understanding. but i'm talking on this and shifting that but i think this is.
