sensationally dragged out by police this week it came shortly after the south american country suspended the whistleblower citizenship and revoked his asylum are video agency filmed exclusive footage of the moment he was arrested. ah. directly following his arrest. that he was found guilty of failing to hundred. twelve.
5:04 am
try to. put. now very soon afterwards we learned that julian assange just electical asylum to citizenship had been revoked by the ecuadorian authorities take a listen to what lenin the renegade the president of ecuador had to say about it till. i announce that the discourteous and aggressive behavior of mr julian i shown the hostile and threatening declarations of his annoyed organization based on especially the transgression of international treaties have led the situation to a point where the asylum of mr assad regime is unsustainable are no longer viable really kind of boils down to two different issues but it sort of came together over the past eighteen months one is that the ecuadorian authorities didn't like the
5:05 am
fact that they said julian assange countries are interfering in the international affairs in the affairs of other countries through his online activity through his activities this 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
5:06 am
julian assange is no hero he's hidden from the truth for years and years but also a very courageous decision by president arroyo in ecuador to resolve the situation we miss the. at the very least of the embassy chapter of the julian assange i'm stuck on the saga and we're moving on to perhaps a rather protracted chapter seven legal extradition battle. reporting there will jr sanj sought 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 and also looked into massages release of cyber tools used by the cia and of hillary clinton's private e-mails which it is claimed was part of alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential elections befalling his arrest on thursday the u.s.
5:07 am
then issued a formal request for assigned use extradition washington accuses the stange of conspiring against the united states the indictment alleges that together with chelsea manning a former intelligence analyst in the us army a sanj cracks a government password and then 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 can least published which has proved to be harmful to the reputation of major world powers. ultra. ultra. much.

were the guys on this patrick henningsen is concerned about the presence this set sometimes the jews being the song will get 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 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
5:10 am
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 the authoritarian operatives in high positions wielding a tremendous power and are threatening to demolish the fourth estate as we once knew it was his arrest has caused attention worldwide to thousands across the globe rallying in support of the strike on whistle blower from a to b. to pass protest is have been gathering outside u.s. embassies expressing concern over sunday's possible extradition and batting to free the whistleblower well rallies are planned to take place later this sunday across a strike well the sentiment has been echoed by human rights groups and politicians
5:11 am
across the world my colleague nikki erin 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 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
5:12 am
the united states over. wiki leaks publishing operations would be unprecedented and to do should or would open the door to criminal investigations of news organizations moreover prosecuting a foreign publisher for violating u.s. secrecy rules would sit am 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 era where the key word is danger for journalists or whistleblowers to those who support him he is you know. a hero his an award winning journalist but
5:13 am
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 joy 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 us 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 of what those in buses invoicing the k secret police into the embassy to drug a publisher if like you to know it would in 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 queue leaks is
5:14 am
a publisher charges now brought in connection with its material or any attempt to extradite assange to united states for prosecution under to deeply flawed could you know of the espionage act nine hundred seventeen is an attack on all of us the d.-o. g. cis part of what a 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 how have politicians been wayans things songes arrest well i would to raise them a 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
5:15 am
but at the same time even in the western world and also in other parts of the world there will be politicians 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 by all asian of your mind i mean that a far right we absolutely reject the no limit 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 a son to the us for exposing evidence of atrocities in iraq and afghanistan should
5:16 am
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 that a prank that national to come on the weak u.s. democrats says that african american should receive compensation for the slave meant of their ancestors but the baby after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
5:17 am
5:18 am
again our u.s. democratic presidential 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 enslaved ancestors a recent poll that has found that only twenty one percent of voters are actually in support of the move if adopted it would entitle an official acknowledgment of the legacy of american slavery and compensation payments to you 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 blown conversation about reparations so that we can as a nation do what's right and begin to heal there are massive disparities that
5:19 am
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 fighting never specks of corners on the issue we heard from the conservative commentator anthony bryan logan and also from attorney and author resurfacing. you could have identified the former slave master and a former slave right there moment but we're now winds are in fifty years past a particular point in time who's going to pay people they 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
5:20 am
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 reasoned guy 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 so 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 that what we have here in a race of years hundreds of years of systematic distant discrimination and shutting out of act economic access the black people and that has to be repaid who's going
5:21 am
to pay it you're talking about a government that government is funded by the people that means to 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 a volunteer paper 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 has never even study the effects of slavery on black people they've never sat down and said we know that as a government we sanction 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 owe black people no one's ever studied it why because the government has literally buried it it's paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america who are you getting what i want you to long to just drive if you need anything and one example i did write in tears hopefully my generation will stand up and say that the
5:22 am
buck stops here so we don't have to go on with this any longer. russian historians are up in arms at the moment off to poland again refused to allow them to contribute to museum opening later this year at a former nazi death camp. of course picks up the story. sammy bore was a nazi run killing center and any town secrets very few survive to average talent and scream course. another unit arrived once they were already undressed they apparently understood where they were being taken naked and all in fear they ran away but where could
5:23 am
they run everyone rushed to the barbed wire fences and there they were met with the fire of machine guns and rifles many people died from the bullets the rest were driven into the gas chambers the fires were burning into late at night that's all flames illuminated the evening black sky with its terrifying lights the whole camp and the surrounding territory. like thunder the screams of people rode over the death camp six hundred people exhausted yearning for freedom rushed forward shouting here a in this single impulse the jews of russia are in poland the netherlands and from this czech is a vacuum in germany united it was only then that the tower guards realized that something was wrong in the camp and opened fire.
5:24 am
unlike auschwitz there is nothing left of sabi bore the extermination camp was destroyed by the nazis after the uprising and trees planted to conceal evidence it ever existed but there is concern that the par. it's if as history are now being overlook the this is a matter for the whole of europe through in the so people come. russians dutch french there were also people from other countries and that's what unites this pain the loss of people who were tortured there and died so that we never repeat the polish government started construction plans back in two thousand and fourteen for a new visitor center at the site of the former death camp russia says that was unfairly sidelines and the design of the museum especially as a soffit soldier was behind the here roid group volte and escape for sabi war the
5:25 am
committee behind the project includes representatives from slovakia the netherlands poland and israel as the construction of the museum moved forward paul and opened the betting for those who wanted to take part in setting up the museum interior but again all three obligations by russian museums all private entities were not approved by war sell polish russian relations are complicated and certainly when it comes to world war two they were complicated so i think the poles rather take control themselves of the narrative they're afraid of the russian narrative and they also don't want to give russia too much credit for liberating poland you can use history as a weapon and the poles haven't weaponize in history as a as many people have been doing some may call it historical amnesia some like paul ince ministry of culture and national heritage say it's a logical decision the international steering committee made enormous decision about continuing cooperation between its current members who have already worked
5:26 am
together for ten years in order to smoothly complete advance works on the new morial site the cultural standoff aside as high time average one as remembered for their suffering and bravery let me remind you of something where seventy thousand verses of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp. after his broken house death camp was observed in poland last reputing was not invited and given the fact that this was liberated by the red army i mean this is quite quite outrageous i would say so what we're seeing now is a continuation of this policy which is trying to. keep the russians out of participating in any effort to present the history of sobibor and the suffering of the of the inmates there in the horrible mass murders that took place there. washing aussie that was the weekend that's how it's looking so
5:27 am
far today we're back again with loonies feet on the headlines of the topic. with no make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling class isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. in the whole middle of the room signals. doing the real news. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've measured us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families he did. eighty
5:28 am
five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent world market rose thirty percent some with four hundred five hundred three first circuit first second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overrule. the only number you need to remember one one business showed you know bored to miss the one and only boom but. the business model of facebook is to pressure people to continue communicating through facebook and giving 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.
5:30 am
oops. i didn't really get it right but. i started out as a very conservative republican like every person in my farming community and upstate new york in the fifty's. my father was a member of the john birch society he was very opposed to the new deal labor unions catholics jews and. it was actually not that unusual and my dad for those attitudes to prevail. because i was a good athlete good in school and good in my church and a good boy scout of my time i was really proud of. in one thousand sixty-six as the u.s. military began ramping up its forces in vietnam brian wilson was drafted. i enlisted in the air force.
