ignore the room. with. a man allegedly linked to wiki leaks founder julian assange is arrested is that good or bad just hours after police drank the whistleblower himself out of the south american countries embassy in london where he'd been holed up almost seven years. astonished faces charges both in the u.k. and in the us with politicians and human rights groups expressing concern that a dangerous precedent has been set by his arrest we spoke to wiki leaks editor in chief about the possible repercussions this is a threat to journalists and journalists and the freedom of the media world. and the

military coup seized the downs president arrested and imagines the rule imposed all in the space of twenty four hours we'll look at the roots of the northeast african countries conflict. a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me nicky arran our top story an alleged collaborator of the wiki leaks founder julian assange he was arrested on thursday that could or the south american countries interior minister confirms that a person who is quote very close to the wiki leaks organization was detained as he boarded a flight to japan this comes off the british police trying to distressed looking at songs out of the i could dorian embassy in london where had been holed up for almost seven years.

likely the international community is reacting to the sensational arrest of julian astonished protesters in london and washington i express concern over the police possible extradition to the us where he's watched on charges of conspiring to hide a government's computers have directly following his arrest the wiki leaks whistleblower was driven to westminster magistrates court in london that he was found guilty of failing to hand him self into wealth or a tease in twenty twelve in relation to a sexual assault case which is since being dropped. someone just told me he would be sentenced not to the later date to have by at video link to the songes legal team on the wiki leaks protests and came out take a listen to what they had to say this sets a dangerous precedent for all media organizations and journalists in europe and elsewhere around the world this precision means that any journalist can be extradited for prosecution in the united states for having published truthful

information about the united states this is a dark day for the journalists in our studios jennifer said he said so the president we don't want to this to go forward this has just it has to be there to the u.k. government needs to make up for assurances that the journalists will never be extradited to the united states for publishing activities the ecuadorian all-star team has allowed the metropolitan police going to go inside the embassy where a party joining us on to try to resist arrest and then he was physically bundled up and put in to a police baton and taken into police custody now very soon after as we learned that julian assange just electical asylum to citizenship had been revoked by the ecuadorian authorities take a listen to what lenin morello the president of ecuador had to say about it told.

us that the discourteous and aggressive behavior of mr julian i saw on the hostile and frightening decorations of his annoyed organization i could all on especially the transgression of international treaties have led the situation to a point where the asylum of mr assad regime is unsustainable there are no longer viable really kind of boils down to two different issues but you sort of came together over the past eighteen months one is that the ecuadorian authorities didn't like the fact that they said julian assange is interfering in the international affairs in the affair. of other countries through his online activity through his activities is the editor of wiki leaks but also there was this kind of domestic disputes bubbling beneath the surface as well last year julian assange was given a list of conditions that he needed to add here if he wanted to stay on the good side of his the ecuadorian hosts he was told they needed to tidy up after himself

clean his bar pay for his own food to pay for their own three clean up after is to hand which they threaten term leave and subsequently did british officials are pretty pleased about what's happened we'll welcome the news this morning that the metropolitan police have arrested julian assange. mr speaker this goes to show that in the united kingdom no one is above the law. but what we've shown today is that no one is above the law julian assange is no hero he is hidden from the truth for years and years but also very courageous decision by president around zero in ecuador to resolve the situation we witnessed the end at the very least of the embassy chapter of the julian assange stuff saga and we're moving on to perhaps or rather the truncated chapter of an illegal extradition battle. or just a moment ago and police report we heard from wiki leaks has had kristinn hrafnsson

on jennifer robinson a songes lawyer we also talk to them about the wider implications of the songs his arrest and what twists expect in the days ahead. it might possibly have a chilling effect on duelist all over the world if they have to face the possibility or being persecuted thrown into prison plain to be flown to be. put on trial in a country in the other states the. way we're releasing the. involved in this. proposed so this is a threat to journalism journalists freedom of the media what has happened always is what we expected to happen he will take on the fight and fight for victory and we will help him oh well we were prepared after the lake that we received wiki leaks received last week from the ecuador higher higher position on the ecuadorian

government last week there was an agreement between the u.k. and ecuador around his arrest as we've been predicting ecuador has revoked his asylum and the u.k. have arrested him on a u.s. extradition request he's holding up incredibly well given the circumstances he asked me to pass on i thank you to all of his supporters for their ongoing support which will be needed in the months and years that to come ahead as we face is extradition request a modified it but it is a great concern he's concerned obviously about the prospect of being extradited to the united states and about the precision that that sets for the media everywhere we will of course fight any extradition requests made out of states as a provisional warrant for his arrest they have the next month also to provide a full request and we will of course fight it this is a massive free speech issue this is a priest and effect will affect all of the media anywhere in the world affectively means that any journalist or media organization anywhere in the world can be extradited and prosecuted for having published truthful information about the

united states and that is as a matter of principle wrong and ought to be resisted and we will be fighting it there seems as sanjay's biggest fear may now come true as the united states house confirms that it's requested his extradition he's been charged with conspiring to hack a classified u.s. government computer with whistleblower chelsea manning the justice department says he could face up to five years in prison and he's kind of more pain of course. interestingly we have heard from the u.s. president u.s. president donald trump has been asked about the arrest of julian assange and wiki leaks and he gave an interesting answer and that answer is a little bit different than the answer he gave on the campaign trail let's take a listen i know nothing about wiki leaks it's not my thing and i know there is something having to do with julie who saw as i have been seeing would accept and with so on that will be a determination i would imagine mostly by the attorney general who's doing an

excellent job so he'll be making a determination i know nothing really about him it's not my it's not my deal in life wiki leaks were key leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks it's been amazing what's coming out on wiki leaks leaks and wiki leaks ricky leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks and wiki leaks documents wiki leaks i love wiki leaks. it's important to note that essentially you know a songe there is an effort to extradite him now from the u.s. department of justice we have a statement from the eastern district of virginia where they are essentially calling for for the extradition of julian assange for on charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion in the indictment alleges that a songe coordinated with chelsea manning and together they tried to crack a password in order to get a defense department information that was classified which wiki leaks eventually

published chelsea manning is in the hands of u.s. officials at this time being held and it's important to review what this information that chelsea manning was able to provide to wiki leaks actually contained let's review some of that information. i'm.

not a doctor but if you're going to. does the n.s.a. collect any data the millions of new sort of. wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service talks like a hot cold turkey. at this point it's important to note that a number of u.s. intelligence officials have declared that wiki leaks is a basically they referring to it as a russian the asset and this comes in response to these accusations came in response to wiki leaks publishing the e-mails from the democratic national

committee and from hillary clinton's aide john podesta those e-mails were published now it was widely alleged in the united states that came from hacking that those e-mails were acquired through computer hacking however wiki leaks has maintained that they were provided these e-mails from a leaker a leaker provide these provided these e-mails they did not hack in order to acquire them now in addition to a being accused of being a russian asset. has been referred to as being an enemy. by a number of u.s. officials the united states do something to stop mr sausage we're looking into that right now he should be treated as an enemy combatant should be closed down permanently indecisively this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law of the united states the guy ought to be i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a this is a man of this comb beyond anything i am aware ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons at this point julius songes

not anymore in the ecuadorian embassy and lauded at this point he has been turned over to u.k. officials he is in their custody now the question remains will he be extradited to the united states many observers speculate that if it comes to the united states he could be facing a lot more than simply this conspiracy of computer intrusion charge that charge only holds the potential for five years in prison it remains to be seen whether or not julian assad will be extradited to the united states where many speculate he could face much more serious charges than simply the computer hacking charge and thoughts of the rest provoked an outcry from human rights organizations and politicians across the globe and we discussed the reaction with. a lot of these skeletons in the closets of the world's mightiest the most powerful probably will never be pulled out but if it wasn't for julian assange on some people wouldn't even start thinking merely that some of this nasty and gruesome

stuff even existed and indeed a very important part of his legacy probably the most important part will always be that he encouraged so many people to think and ask questions about what the most powerful people in charge of this world could be hiding and this can truly be felt through the things that are being said by the activists right now in reaction to what's. where the whistleblower let's take a look at what the american civil liberties union came out with any prosecution by the united states over mr wiki leaks publishing operations would be unprecedented and i'm convinced you should and would open the door to criminal investigations of news organizations moreover prosecuting a foreign publisher for violating u.s. secrecy rules would set i'm especially dangerous precedent for u.s.

journalists who routinely violate foreign secrecy laws to tip information vital to the public's interest cumin rights watch are now actually saying that every news organization is in danger and this kind of sentiment is being echoed by so many activists and activists organizations right now they are worried that we are now potentially in a new era where the key word is danger for journalists or whistleblowers to those who support him he is you know. a hero hayes and award winning journalist but there are those who hate am i here as a whistleblower a villain how is he regarded while some people don't see a difference between behavior a list and a whistleblower some people do but you can argue that in any case in a solid situation and his whole fate well always be intertwined with the notion of

freedom of speech and it seems that any kind of attempts by the u.s. political and lead to paint him with that brush and to try and convince the world that he is not a journalist will always be challenged by the world's most renowned whistleblowers and investigative journalists as well images that pick with those ambassador inviting the case secret police into the embassy to drag a publisher of like you to a. it was winning journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books critics may cheer but this is a dark moment for press freedom we q leaks is a publisher charges now brought in connection with its material or any attempt to extradite assange to united states for prosecution under the deeply flawed could you know of the espionage act nine hundred seventeen is an attack on all of us the d.-o. g. sis part of what is science did to just before his prosecution beyond allegedly

helping manning get the documents is that he encouraged manning to get more documents for him to publish journalists do this with sources constantly is a criminalization of journalism it's hard to make know the political undertones of this case and how has politicians been weighing in since his arrest well i want to raise i'm a said no one is above the law and it looks like the likes of the u.s. the u.k. and to the current government of ecuador will continue to team up in saying that these suspected criminals should be prosecuted and they will keep on pushing that line but at the same time even in the western world and also in other parts of the world there will be politicians who will keep on saying things like phony pretext and they will continue to treat this case as pure hypocrisy of the western political elites. this whole story with the persecution and hounding with

establishing inhumane living conditions is consigning to oblivion the rights of the freedom of speech and disseminating information that is something that it's absolute if you think that i mean that we are talking about that. show on the war. abuses and violation of human and international rights. we absolutely reject the and no amount of julian assange just natural ization and the handover of this all straight. journalist to the united kingdom in a shameful act surrendering our sovereignty the extradition of julian a son's to the u.s. for exposing evidence of atrocities in iraq and afghanistan should be opposed by the british government and any case now whatever the people say it still all depends on the next steps by u.s. police and u.s. prosecutors so we will be watching out for the.

most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand out of those prisons you just need as the right questions and demand the right answer. the. question. there are millions of people in america and around the world were better educated than ray dahlia but in order to succeed on wall street you need to complete lack of empathy this is driven in study after study after study. has no consideration about

the effect he's having of society and the ruination of the lives that he's contributing to by being a leech on the system with is hedge fund that's a lack of empathy and there that takes a certain kind of myopia and stupidity to work yourself into that state. welcome back now europe's biggest club football competition is into its quarter final stages and keeping a keen eye on all the champions league action is on tuesday as a marine in the late edition of his show on the touchline he discusses what it's like managing a team in the tournament. when you're managing a club does it tell you every minute of every day if you want. i

would say. yes but is that through. the training session when they're already thinking about what next and some of them believe. leave. the beach to go to. the dressing room and. appear unless you stop them with something that you have organized for them. we only just like. the. family all those tours sinking a ball. the club twenty four of us but the. owners that don't think about the club more than one minute but the head clubs where i had to be everything sometimes you got to go home people were just like you know you have three matches

but weeks sometimes you play on the sunday and then you have champions you don't know where they go on you finish the game on the sunday you are already allies in that match and preparing for the next ones or the next morning you go to the training role you go to the train rolled because you've ever met on the on the jews and on a wednesday sitting out of bed when you're ready to travel yes we have. another news now the president of the northeast african country of sudan has been ousted by the country's military following months of violence anti-government protests the sudanese defense minister announced that the newly formed military council will be first in charge for the next two years local journalists reports from sudan. as serious of the ministration and by this statement of the letter meant. all declared the transition period of sudanese government for two years that his statement came as a result for the demonstration started and december encouraged to by the security forces

dealt with that in the ration by violence which goes i cruising to the human rights organisation and the medical committee you sit on. for more than forty people dead the great number more than three million sudanese we will gather around the head of the military marine is to don asking put the phone down although bashir ridging which controls for more than thirty years now in khartoum is treat a great number maybe reach for five million be able sort of wait for the fall down . and asking for a good transition period incident. where news of the shares arrest came people in sudan took to the streets to celebrate his removal however the mood of the protesters quickly changed as aussies mortality of explains. the dictates of fuld's and the people were joyce happy empowered

optimistic it's it's always the same how many times have we seen this happen this decade revolution in africa in the middle east the dictator. was removed by the military which sided with the people sort of what the militant was really the military takes full responsibility for changing the entire regime for a transitional period of two years in which the government would be handled by the armed forces. now you could understand why people are a bit miffed they rebelled risked everything to get rid of a dictator for freedom for democracy and what they go to the end is a military regime what has been just taught it is for us and it's not acceptable there is sickening the faces and this will return us to where we have been on the

other hand consider how much worse it could have been temporary military rule may just have been the lesser of two evils but these revolutions rarely and well. you may recognize this picture it's from a different era most of the leaders either deposed in exile or dead countries no better off.

a grim even depressing picture yet it seems people just don't learn from the past this week we heard the same tired cools from the u.k. u.s. norway calls for regime change. the demand for political change from the courageous and resilient people of sudan is becoming ever clear and more powerful the sudanese people are demanding a transition to a political system that is inclusive and has greater legitimacy there is a reason they wanted him gone out so much because he's a dictator they have plenty of tyrannical friends know because mr bashir like solly and gadhafi before him made inroads with the west's rivals boosted relations

trade military and economic cooperation with china with russia iran. which i think if you get any air of iranian conflict will harm the whole region arrow counter ease and iran itself neither iran nor the arabs would leave the region i suppose the burst option is to kill exist and deal with the problems that we have through dialogue and negotiations it is better than using guns and that it would appear was an unforgivable sin the united states considers africa its own and doesn't want anyone else on its tough unfortunately billions upon billions of us taxpayer dollars have not achieved these are facts they have not prevented other powers such as china and russia from taking advantage of african states increase their own power and influence from now on the united states will not tolerate this

longstanding pattern of it without effect to be fair mr bolton you hardly helped years of u.s. sanctions of civil war atrocities and the split up of the country have left their mark so don is a traumatized nation expecting democracy and magical reforms overnight is well it was never going to happen thanks for taking out international this friday we're back at the top of. breaks it down. i mean more doogan is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county for

you me to stay if you look at it from the analogy. marc was the day that when he was five. going to has been the most contentious critic for he is the first time i noticed something wasn't right in police work pretty much when i first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell a thing like that it's a nod and a wink it wasn't what i wanted to do. more than this county then some states have had a collective thing to do and went to his website began featuring comments about his family the sheriff by ten men squashed you like a bug you know i wish you'd stop the news instead of letting the stuff i believe what i'm doing ok you know it's your funeral. did p.b.s.

and critic house. i snuck out of the united states. into russia political. men they know. i didn't think the numbers mean something they've matter us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be rich eight point six percent world market. percent somewhat one hundred five hundred three first second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember.
