the world reacts as wiki leaks founder julian assange faces charges both in the u.k. and the u.s. and many expressing concerns that a dangerous precedent has been that by his arrest ok weeks editor in chief told us the repercussions. this is a threat to journalists and journalists and the freedom of the media world. also this hour germany approves arms exports to saudi arabia despite the current ban that's according to german media reports. and a military coup seems to dan's present arrested and emergency rule imposed almost space of twenty four hours to look at the roots of the north east african countries internal conflict.

you're watching our two international coming to life from the russian capital where it's just turned seven pm welcome to the program. from human rights organizations to politicians there's been reaction across the globe to the arrest of wiki leaks co founder julian assange on thursday cleese officers carried the whistleblower out of his refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy after his asylum was revoked let's get more now on the reaction to this in the u.s. and the wider world and speak live to our correspondents killed martin and misha sethi first to you in new york killed what reaction has the songes arrest provoked in the u.s. and what are officials saying. well there have been a number of voices that have spoken up in support of julian assange the founder of wiki leaks among them was congresswoman tulsi gabbert who is running for president

on the democratic ticket in twenty twenty she argued that the arrest of a son jen his possible extradition could have a chilling effect in a negative effect on the freedom of americans this is tulsa gabbert. this is a threat to journalists but it's also something that threatens every american because the message that we're getting that the american people are getting by what's happened here today is you know be quiet toed the line otherwise there will be consequences now we've also heard from the world famous us human rights organization called the american civil liberties union the a.c.l.u. this is what they said about the julian assange and wiki leaks case any prosecution by the united states over a son is four week he digs publishing operations would be unprecedented and unconstitutional would open the door to criminal investigations of other news organizations more of a prosecuting a foreign publisher of violating u.s.

secrecy tools was sent an especially dangerous precedent for us journalists who routinely violate foreign secrecy laws to deliver information vital to the public's interest however among the voices speaking out in support of civil liberties and on behalf of julianna songe and wiki leaks we're hearing quite a few voices from mainstream politicians who are baying for blood essentially among them is hillary rodham clinton this is her recent comment about julianna songe it would be really good to get him back on united states soil so now he's our property do we get the facts and the truth from the. answer for what he has done in our. now it's important to note that chelsea manning the leaker who leaked information to wiki leaks regarding u.s. activities in iraq is currently being held by u.s. officials being detained and the two biggest most well known leaks from wiki leaks

were that information regarding the death of journalists and others in iraq from chelsea manning that chelsea manning revealed and passed on to wiki leaks as well as the e-mails from the democratic national committee and to hillary clinton's aide john podesta during the twenty sixteen elections now it has been alleged that wiki leaks was involved in some sort of hack or somehow these d.n.c. e-mails were hacked however we can leaks has maintained that they received the e-mails from a leaker they did not hack in order to receive these e-mails from the democratic national committee now at this point the charge against julian a songe is charge of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion they are alleging that he worked with chelsea manning in order to crack the password of the department of defense and if he were convicted of that charge in the united states if extradited that he would face about five years possibly in prison up to five years in prison however there are many who suspect that when he reaches the united states he could

face much more severe charges and much more severe treatment his lawyers have argued he might be tortured if he came to united states and it's worth noting that u.s. vice president mike pence has already alleged that julian assange carried out his activities on behalf of foreign governments this is what was said about julius songe by the u.s. vice president. i want to ask you about something bad when he was the cia the cia director said he called weekly leaks nonstate house intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia where you agree with that characterization yes we strongly agree with that that's why the justice department is now seeking extradition and we're going to bring julian assange to justice. now when asked about the case u.s. president trump he gave an answer that seems somewhat contradictory to things he said during the two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign this is us president

trump responding to questions about the wiki leaks case and julian assange. you know nothing about wiki leaks it's not my thing and i know there is so plain having to do with julie i've been seeing what happened with. 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 but you leaks it's been amazing what's coming out on wiki leaks leaky leaks the wiki leaks ricky leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks and wiki leaks documents wiki leaks i love what you mix. so at this point all eyes are on britain as people wait to see what happens next julian a songe is in custody and facing possible extradition to the united states thank

you for that nissho over to you know and london what's been the international reaction to a detention in the u k. well we've seen a flood of global solidarity standing with the sun for all of its past revelations many saying asylum just where can courage those to ask what the most prominent political figures could be hiding the human rights watch which they say are a voice that justice has been speaking about investigation investigative journalism worldwide they say that in this now might think twice about publishing news of public importance or government scrutiny now they've also criticized the trumpet ministrations open hostility to mainstream media which the group say creates a dangerous environment now this was all say were echoed if you remember by a songes legal team they said that depending on how this all develops no chin this in the world will be safe from doing that job it sets a dangerous precedent now for fellow journalists and fellow whistle blower as they

say that this is documents. images of recorders and buses invoicing the case secret police into the embassy to drug a publisher of like it's on the award winning journalist of the building are going to end up in the history books critics may cheer but this is a dark moment for president them the g.o.g. says part of what is science did to just defy 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. here in the u.k. they the prime minister welcomed the songes arrest but the labor leader jeremy corbett strongly opposed it he says that his son should not be extradited to the united states and this was about exposing u.s. military atrocities in iraq and afghanistan these statements as well have been echoed by international figures across the world we're hearing strong political

condemnation saying that the arrest is also a shameful act. liminal rana has made a u. turn in ecuador splitting the foreign politics of backward or is far from sovereignty and completely deviated from the original focus with a conservative agenda i would even use the strong words sold out of north american sovereignty in relations to the us it is something that it if you think that i mean that we are talking about. war. abuses. by elation of your mind i mean that a far right. politician the draw of political asylum by ecuador is a gross violation of international law as well as violations of the rightful deletable asylums and the rest by british police within the compound of the embassy is a disgrace. now a song faces an extradition hearing on the second of may so the next challenge is

the legal extradition battle but one thing's for sure though that this expulsion and the potential consequences have gone is an outcry world wise about what free speech really means. in london and killed and in new york thank you both for saying across the store for us. journalists and wiki leaks supporter co-founder fairbanks who was one of the last reporters to visit the embassy as revealed details about his final days there. well at that point things were really bad visiting previously and it was. friendly and welcoming and it was slowly greeting each visit and this time it was pretty openly hostile he got into a huge fight with the ecuadorian baster after they locked me in a room heavily surveilled room and tried to force us to have a meeting and there they wanted to search him and search his lawyer before they could come eat with me none of these things that ever happened before in to any

guest not just me in almost seven years he's been there he wanted to meet with me so that he could report on the illegal treatment that he was being you know met with at the embassy at the hands of the embassy and he is the ambassador of working with the u.s. government and said that they were conspiring with the us against him and these are the people who are supposed to be giving him asylum he is released some keys potentially for a dead man's switch and. i think that if he's not treated well there could be more shoes to drop i think he is the biggest hero of freedom of press and i think that everybody needs to get on board supporters of former q.e.f. cheek have been showing their solidarity with julian assange both in the u.k. and stateside in washington d.c. they gathered outside the british embassy to decry his possible extradition to the u.s. on london people gathered outside the westminster court where songe was convicted.

we talked to wiki leaks editor in chief kristinn hrafnsson and jennifer robinson a lawyer about the wider implications of the arrest and what to expect in the days ahead. it might possibly have a chilling effect on journalist all over the world if they have to face the possibility or being persecuted and thrown into a prison plane to be flown to be. put on trial in a third country and the other states the. be the overreach that is involved in this. proposed to us so this is a threat to journalism and journalists and the freedom of the media overall he's concerned obviously about the prospect of being answered to the united states and about the president at that sets for the media everywhere we will of course try any extradition requests made ited states is a provisional warrant for his arrest they have the next month or so 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 effectively 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 fellow whistleblower edward snowden was himself forced to seek asylum after leaking classified information back in two thousand and fifteen bucks on a boycott from the world apart program asked us on whether he preferred to switch places with snowden here's what he had to say back then. like a prisoner. i am able to have. visitors to make telephone calls but i want to make them yes yes of course they monitored. we both ways have ways to avoid that want to transfer cases.

i find it quite unusual. i was able to coordinate. it would snowden's asylum. with myself being in this situation of having a score to settle because i was very highly motivated having been in the situation myself i didn't want to see it but so i can go to work as well would you trade places with edward snowden. right now or yeah you know hard yes that is certainly to be free. in russia. and have some type of freedom of movement internationally is much prefer of all to any person. myself or chelsea manning or many others who are. kept in

effectively in confined to one. small space journalist and documentary filmmaker john pilger thinks the mung all the leaks what really landed in trouble was the revelation of the true nature of modern war culture spoke to our teens afshin rattansi on our going underground program you can watch the full interview tomorrow but for now here's a quick preview. there are so many leaks that are related to telling us about the true nature of war of course what really got julian into trouble and chelsea manning of course was the video of collateral murder and that expressed most graphically. what i would describe as the whole homicidal nature. of american colonial wars and especially in iraq the three hundred sixty degree view of just kill them all and anybody watching that video.

really has to read very little else of the wiki leaks revelations about the nature of american wars because there it is there is a kind of consensual belief i'm trying to think of a polite term for brainwashing frankly that. we don't do these kind of things we are perpetually but nine on our side and the americans are part of that these things simply do not happen they only they only happen on their side they only are they done by totalitarian states. they're done by rogue states when in fact clearly the biggest rogue state of all is the united states.

it is finally how often julian assange was arrested within the at the dorian embassy in london is widely expected he will be extradited to the united states to stand trial expected charges for espionage this is truly a dark day for journalists and journals. there are millions of people in america and around the world who are 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 re dahlia has no consideration about the effect he's having on society and the ruination of the law except he's contributing to my being a leak 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 germany has a lot of arms exports to some countries in the yemeni war including saudi arabia that's according to media who have reportedly obtained documents from a government meeting that are all over reports from berlin. germany has a ban on selling weapons to saudi arabia but what we all hearing is that a number of companies have been able to circumvent the various different means if we look at the. base. transport equipment company they specialize in trailer technology and equipment they've been sending their stuff to france

france doesn't have a ban on sending weapons to saudi arabia they've been going from france. to saudi similar things be. and happening with the cobra radar artillery targeting systems they've been sent to the united arab emirates along with software updates for the for that system as well eventually then reaching. the war in yemen and reaching saudi arabian military hands now opposition figures here in germany as you would imagine outraged at this seems like the government can't wait when it comes to producing weapons for the human who were alliance in light of the latest attacks and yemeni schoolchildren this is simply a shameless killing of jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul prompted berlin to well cancel weapon sales to saudi arabia in fact the deal making sure that they would be no more deal was extended at the end of

last month by the german government. and it's our flag and we demand that the participating company since this time the export ban to saudi arabia and the united every am a very stealing this period when dealing with their contract practice and the federal government will also commit to not using these jointly produced products in yemen. or there is a lot of pressure on germany from the likes of france and the united kingdom for berlin to start selling arms to saudi arabia again the argument from the british side is that if we stop selling weapons to the kingdom of saudi arabia we would lose influence over world perhaps trying to get them to move away from the conflict in yemen it's interesting that they would try and move away from that conflict by selling them more weapons particularly well what we're hearing from the likes of human rights watch is this ban by germany is the right way to go in trying to help the embattled people of yemen what we have at the moment is

a situation where there's thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of people in dire need of food clean water in aid. and not so much in need of billions of dollars worth of weapons being sold to those that are going to use them against them. the president of sudan has been ousted by the country's military the defense minister announced a newly formed military council will be put in charge for the next two years the presence of partner falls months of protests which were initially sparked by a rise in the cost of living then grew into a broader anti-government movement when news of a marble shares arrest came people took to the streets to celebrate his ousting however at the mood of the protesters quickly changed as more and gusty explains. the dictates of falls and the people rejoice happy empowered

optimistic it's always the same how many times have we seen this happen this decade revolution in africa in the middle east the dictator bashir was removed by the military which sided with the people. sort of what the hamiliton was really up to the military takes full responsibility for changing the entire regime for a transitional period of two years in which the government will 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 stated is frost's a coup and it is not acceptable they are recycling 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 need is 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 earlier this week we heard the same tired calls 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 no 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 this are effects 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 hardly helped years of u.s. sanctions of civil war atrocities and the split up of the country have left their mark don is a traumatized nation expecting democracy and magical reforms overnight is well it was never going to happen that's a global news update for this hour and that's all for me as well to. you know harvey will be taking over in about thirty minutes with the latest.

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. i. could take for
