that works. for the story the way dragged by police wiki leaks leader june in the sun just arrested after spending the last seven years in the dorian embassy in london. is a risk of global attention and concern over a possible extradition to the u.s. . from a legal point of view of justice point of view this is a total stitch up joyce knowledge will not face due process or justice souter going to face. a similar. also us democratic

presidential hopeful says african american should receive financial compensation for the suffering of their ancestors on the slavery we debate the issue. because somebody is green day still something doesn't mean i'm responsible for you know who should have been able to catch him why they were laughing government has literally buried it paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people of america. kerry seems to dan's present arrested and emergency room or in the space of twenty four ounce. hello that the latest developments and a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to me watching weekly here and i see international now off to almost seven years hold up in the ecuadorian embassy in london we can leaks found it you know in this. was

sensationally dragged out by police this week came shortly after the south american country suspended the whistleblowers says the ship and revoked his asylum video agency filmed exclusive video of the moment he was arrested. ah. ah . directly following his arrest that we can prove. that he was found guilty of failing to hand himself into authorities in two thousand and twelve the relation to this case which has since the.

president came out and said so what they have to say this sets a dangerous precedent for all media organizations and journalists in europe and elsewhere around the world this present mainstay any journalist. prosecution in the united states for having published truthful information about the united states. most of those jennifer said he said so the president. should go forward this has to be. the u.k. government needs to make sure things. will never be extradited to united states or .

try to arrest and then. put. that. into police custody now. very soon afterwards we learned that julian assange just electical asylum to citizenship had been revoked by the ecuadorian authorities take a listen to what lenin the president of ecuador had to say about it till. i announce that the discourteous and aggressive behavior of mr julian assange on ship of the hostile and threatening declarations of his annoyed organization. on especially the transgression of international treaties who have led the situation to a point where the asylum of mr assad regime is unsustainable there are no longer horrible 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 affairs of other countries through his online activity through his activities as 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 to 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 policy and pay for the same food to pay for certain on three clean up after his talents which they threaten term leave and subsequently did british officials are pretty pleased about what's happened to will welcome the news this morning that the metropolitan police have arrested judy in a sorry. 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 arroyo in ecuador to resolve the situation we missed the end. at the very least the embassy chapter of the julian assange stumbles and we're moving on to perhaps a rather protracted chapter of an illegal extradition battle. reporting there were tuna sandwich short refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in twenty twelve the u.s. was then investigating the publication by wiki leaks of classified military documents relating to the war in afghanistan it also looked into the sun just release of cyber tools used by the cia and of hillary clinton's private e-mails which is claimed was part of alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential elections were following his arrest on thursday the u.s. issued a formal request for

a songes extradition washington accused of conspiring against the united states the indictment alleges that together with chelsea manning a former intelligence analyst in the us army cracked a government password and access to classified documents if convicted he could face up to five years in prison well here's a look back at the information we collect publish which has proved to be harmful to the reputation of major world powers.

we really. are. the lead does the n.s.a. collects any data the millions of americans know sure the wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile takeover serve. as analysts patrick worries about the precedence this sets in dad's judean the

sanch will be given a fair trial. it has all the sort of indications of the kind of backroom deal that's been done between a three way deal between the government of ecuador the british government and the united states government the danger here but it is not going to face justice in the united states what he is going to face is a secret grand jury proceeding most likely in northeastern virginia most likely will be ruled on by a judge who has ruled against every single whistleblower. under the obama administration including thomas drake john kerry aku and many others ok so this is from from a legal point of view of justice point of view this is a total stitch up joyce knowledge will not face due process or justice she's going to face. a simulacra of it but not the real thing and that's going to be the

the injustice of this whole proceedings so what we're seeing right now is the criminalization of journalism the criminalization of publishing. a supine mainstream media that is not protesting what's going on even though it's in their interests this issue they've ignored that and instead you have authoritarian operatives in high positions wielding a tremendous power and are threatening to demolish the fourth estate as we once knew it. the songes arrest call worldwide attention with thousands across the globe rallying in support of the strain bill and whistleblower from keith a to b. to pass protests have been gathering outside u.s. embassies expressing concern over sandy's possible extradition i'm dying to free the whistleblower moranis our plans take place late in the sunday across the strait well the sentiment has been echoed by human rights organizations and politicians across the world my colleague the carin discuss the reaction without any prophetic

. 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 assad 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. 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 happening with the whistleblower let's take a look at what the american civil liberties union came out with any prosecution by the united states of. wiki leaks publishing operations would be unprecedented

and you should 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 us 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 year where the key word is danger for journalists or whistleblowers a to those who support him he is you know. a hare right he's an award winning journalist

but there are those who hate him and he's as a whistleblower a villain how is he regarded. well some people don't see a difference between a list and a whistleblower some people do but you can argue that in any case this julian assange 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 us political elite 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 work with those in buses invoicing the k. secret police into the embassy to drug a publisher if like you to know it was getting journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books and critics may cheer but this is a dark moment for press freedom week you 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 g.o.g. sis part of what a science did to just to fight 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 acknowledge the political undertones of this case that how has politicians been way in since his arrest well i would to raise a may said no one is above the law and it looks like the likes of the u.s. the u.k. and 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 contribute 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 ability and 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 someone that. show on the ward abuses and by a leash and of human and international right. we absolutely reject the no amount of julian assange just natural ization and the handover of this australian journalist to the united kingdom in a shameful act surrendering our sovereignty the extradition of julian assange is to the us 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 that in a prank and i asked her to come on the weekly this saturday so the sudanese leader i stick by the military ending thirty years of rule will have a look at that in more detail just after the break. the rules of the game have to be changed and we are still living with historical legacy sophie dust. most of the. legal frameworks in investing but all of them are designed for industrial face of a stick watch and now we are moving ahead and i think the problem is that our

concepts are lagging behind. the business model of facebook is to pressure people to continue communicating through facebook and getting facebook personal information this is what makes facebook a surveillance monster so facebook does not have users facebook has used it's people that facebook use it's. welcome back now thousands of protesters flooded the seasonings capital khartoum on

saturday at a rally in front of the military's headquarters they called on the army to hand over power to a civilian government protesters say they will remain in the streets until a civilian transitional council is formed on thursday after months of public protests the army toppled longtime president omar al bashir the news was met by celebrations on sudan streets. explains now though the country's mood changed from the asm to disappointment in just a few apps. the dictates of falls and the people were drawn 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

militants 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 leaders either deposed in exile or dead country's new 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 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 not 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.

who was that if you have 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 someone anyone else on it's 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 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. now us democrat present. ventral hopeful has sparked debate by proposing a bill that would see african-americans receive reparations senator cory booker says this would go towards compensating for the suffering of their enslaved ancestors but a recent poll found only twenty one percent of the it is actually support the move if adopted it would entitle an official acknowledgment of the legacy of american slavery and compensation payments to those still affected by discrimination as a result we have to recognize that everybody did not start out on an equal

footing in this country and in particular black people have not. and so we have got to recognize that and do something about that and give folks a lift up i believe it's time to start the national full long conversation about reparations so that we can as a nation do what's right and begin to heal there are massive disparities that must be addressed so we're going to do everything we can to put resources into distressed communities and improve lives for those people who have been hurt from the legacy of slavery were fighting their respective corners on the issue we heard from conservative commentator and from brian logan and also from attorney and author resurfacing. you could have identified the former slave master and a former slave or act in a moment but we're now winds are at it to years past a particular point in time who is going to pay people who did not have slaves

nobody i left a day in twenty nineteen was a slave back then so what do we gain pay for who is going to pay we're right again pay it's no more than a campaign promise from democratic hopefuls trying to get some kind of attention now you're ok with the l. o. s. and that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard they provide economic restitution to those people now if i came into your house mr a.b.l. and i stole a thousand dollars from you and then i died or if i saw a million dollars from you and then i'd die would you say oh well reason died so that money doesn't matter anymore no he would go talk to my children children are still living off the benefits of that million dollars just because somebody has grand days dose of it doesn't mean i'm responsible for it if somebody is granddad was are you a killer and they found out one hundred years later you go after the kids and say ok you get to go to jail now or you get to pay back some money because of what your grandfather d. makes no since you know who did it you should have been able to catch him why they

were alive punish him why they were alive we want to focus on is the economic harm that was done to black people if we really break down with slavery was people were brought from across the water to work and that was free labor so what we have is here to ration years hundreds of years of systematic does the discrimination and shutting out of act economic access the black people and that has to be repaid who's going to pay it you're talking about a government that government is funded by the people that means me that means you will pay for it so how does it make any sense like i say it would have been more let me present how many hands you are mostly paid as slave when were parades in is would have been do which is at the end to slavery not right now it makes no sense to so argue me it is no logic here. america's never even study the effects of slavery on black people they never said down and said we know that as a government we think this this makes this experience but we don't even know how

far that experience reaches because no one's ever study it how much do we know black people know when there are thirty did why because the government has literally buried its head it paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america who hate anyone i would i do too long to just drive if you need any damned three hundred and i'm going to write in two years hopefully my generation will stand up and say that the buck stops here so we don't have to go on with this any longer and it should be debated already been watching the weekly here not say it was good to have a company with back again top of the. what

politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to present. something want to. watch it right. this is what. people. are interested always in the why. should. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. we're going out for the people who are killing civilians. they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already is several generations of them so i just got this memo from the search that says we're going to destroy the government in

seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort. for . the welcome to world of pride when they see. its proponents claim that it's going to be a panacea to almost all the world's ills lifting millions out of poverty peace through

trade and yet as an old saying goes the only free cheese is in the mouse trap. we trade common dissimilar complications to discuss that i'm now joined by a former prime minister of finland. prime minister it's good to talk to you thank you very much my person i'm the person we are recording this conversation on the sidelines of the harassers forum which this year is that it catered to discussing a morally decent form of globalization that formulation in and of itself suggest that there is something off with the current system what is it it's a factor similar dangerously main scenes are changing in a very radical way in the world and globalization and one trend but. transformation or take a look because. maybe even the more fundamental things but they go hand in hand they. require stick watches and.
