was. was was. that worse. than the stories that shaped the way care or not see wiki leaks leader julian assange just arrested after spending the last seven years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london is arrest global attention and sparked concern over sandy's possible extradition to the u.s. . also to come a military coup see sudan's president arrested and emergency room imposed order spanx twenty four x. .

good afternoon welcome you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international now after almost four has seven years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london wiki leaks founder julian assange was sensationally dragged out by police this week came shortly after the south american country suspended the whistleblower citizenship i'm revoked his asylum video agency filmed exclusive footage of the moment he was arrested. ah. ah. ah.

well directly following his arrest said that we can be explicit. that he was found guilty of failing to hand himself into authorities in twenty twelve in relation to a sexual assault case which has throughout since. the president came out. so what they have to say this sets a dangerous precedent. and journalists in europe and elsewhere around the world this preceded me any journalist. extradited for prosecution in the united states for having published truthful information about the united states.

president. to 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 resist arrest and then. put. that. into police custody. now very soon afterwards we learned that julian assange just political asylum to citizenship had been revoked by the ecuadorian authorities take a listen to what lenin morello the president of ecuador had to say about it told. i announce that the discourteous and aggressive behavior of mr julian i saw nj the hostile and threatening declarations of his annoyed organization i could rule 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 fact that they said julian assange enters interfering in the international affairs in the affairs of other countries through his online activity even 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 if he wanted to stay on the good side of his the ecuadorian hosts he was told they needed to tidy up after himself between his bar pay for his own food to pay for so no one three clean up after is

talent 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 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 around zero in ecuador to resolve the situation we've witnessed the end at the very least of the embassy chapter of the julian assange stuff saga and to women living on to perhaps a rather poor truncated chapter of an illegal extradition battle. boyko their world in the songe sought refuge in. ecuadorian embassy in two thousand and 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 sanjay's release of cyber tools used 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 before going to rest on thursday the u.s. then issued a formal request for a songes extradition washington accuses of conspiring against the united states the indictment alleges that together with chelsea manning a former intelligence analyst in the us army a songe cracked a government password and then access to classified documents if convicted he could face up to five years in prison where he is a quick look back at the information wiki leaks published which could prove to be harmful to the reputation of major world powers.

i. does the owner of a coworker any millions of. wiki

leaks walks like a hospital told your story talks like a hot cold turkey. while his arrest has caught attention worldwide with thousands across the globe rallying in support of the strain borne whistleblower from quito to budapest protesters have been gathering outside u.s. embassies expressing concern over sanjay's possible extradition and valuing to free the whistleblower while rallies are planned to take place later this sunday across the strain well the sentiment has been echoed by human rights groups and politicians across the world to my colleague nic aaron discuss the reaction with artie's any prank. 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 encourage 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 of the united states of. wiki leaks publishing operations would be unprecedented and you shouldn't 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're 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 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 behavior to a list and a whistleblower some people do but you can argue that in any case in

a solemn 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 ambassador invites in the case secret police into the embassy to drag a publisher if like you to know it was getting 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 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 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 make know the political undertones of this case how has politicians been wayans things songes arrest well know what to reason 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 will keep on saying things like. phony pretext and they will control need 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 wards abuses and violation of human and international right we absolutely reject the julian assange just naturalization 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 be opposed by the british government and any case now whatever the people say it's still all depends on the next steps by us police and u.s. prosecutors so we will be watching out for that or we discuss the whistle blows

arrest by the author who wrote quell and also the political commentator steve malzberg. we have a country here called the united states of america he compromise sources and methods and diplomats put people at risk you can accept this as a nation you must prosecute these people and subject them to the fullest penalties the law allows a sort of see that mr trump who praised him so many times during the two thousand and sixteen election is now claims he never heard of him never reads what can we were not supposed to know what our government does spite all the unbelievably evil things that the u.s. government does i'm sorry to say that that's true but the u.s. government is by the way a force not a force for good in the world anymore if it ever was have you ever worn a uniform sir let's let first what i'd like to see every single thing that was revealed put in context what was happening i'm not here to debate what was revealed we're here to debate did this man commit a crime is a terrible thing julian

a son who was tortured also when they in the ecuadorian embassy he was not being fed properly he had no room telephone personal communication no internet for a very long time this little tiny room you saw him today being pulled out by the british secret police there was quite something terrible to say you have no facts that he wasn't tortured in the embassy somebody is tortured he is free to leave i would a left long time to go into the conditions you're putting forth he's never claimed he was tortured or that embassy where do you get that problem i love this everybody is evil except the bad guys in your world the u.s. plans to step on him and to make sure that try to make sure that nobody else ever does what wiki leaks and julian assange have done and he's going to be punished it's not going to be five years it's going to be the rest of his life no one's talking about the death penalty and no one's talking even about life in prison that right now the indictment under the charges he faces it would be five years in prison but they're especially upset about is the you tube of the of the people. the

groaners killing people. laughing about it yucking it up oh so much fun and then doing what the mafia calls a double tap where they would kill some people then wait till the rescuers came and then they all yukked it up about killing the rescuers so this is we're not supposed to see that kind of thing of course we're not supposed to know what our government does. the season is military to the country's president ending his rule will have the latest from just after the break. the rules of the game have to be changed and we are still living with a historical legacy so if he doesn't see most of the. legal frameworks in

investment all of them are designed for industrial base a 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 and this is what makes facebook a surveillance monster show facebook does not have users facebook has used people that facebook use it's.

though again matheson's of protesters flooded the season's 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 of his murder against the explains though how the country's mood then changed from enthusiasm to disappointment in just a few hours. a dictator 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 cycling 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 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 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 with them 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 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. some four hundred hopefuls are. i'm painting for eight places on the russian space agency's future missions to the maine for the last two years they have been undergoing intense training and artie's documentary channel has been following that progress. because it's like this one of them young you put your own nickel stuff see a bold move to jump start the real shooter gets

to worlds apart when the. group 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 the. trade commerce similar 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 more personal time because we are recording this conversation on the sidelines of the harassers four on 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 fact that. many seeing so far. in the world and globalization one trend but. transformation or.

maybe even the more fundamental things but they go hand in hand they. require stick and watches and. globalization. now when globalization is discussed it's usually discussed in economic terms of efficiency a labor costs production cheats etc and there is a legitimate benchmarks for business but. not for government because the government has to consider a much broader impact what happens to society as fran factories move about what happens to the public health sector whether there is an opioid crisis do you think industrial democracies have managed globalisation in their pro-social rather than corporate ways they have not understood that the rules of the game have to be changed and we are still. living with historical legacy stuff

industrialization because if you look at the social security systems education systems most of the most a legal frameworks in the investment world all of them are designed for industrial face of technology and now we are moving ahead and i think the problem is that our our concepts are lacking behind what you're saying is that the government didn't do enough to create new jobs to compensate the schools to make sure that people are not taking drugs rather than you know taking measures to make sure that industrial capacity is kept where those goods are consumed typically explanation is that market is going to be a liberal democracies have failed to solve problems that they created i think it's only half true and the problem is that they still believe that the methods they used after.
