you know that's why i. want to get it about to. make money. and that's one of the every day. in stories that shaped the week. is arrested after spending almost seven years old up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. his arrest got 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. will not face due process or justice he's going to face. a simulacra. also this hour u.s.

democratic presidential hopeful says african-americans should receive financial compensation for the suffering of their ancestors under slavery we debate the issue . because somebody is green day doesn't mean i'm responsible for you know who should have been able to why they were alive if the government had literally buried it head paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america. and a military coup president arrested and emergency rule imposed almost twenty four hours . here watching the weekly here on our team a recap of the biggest stories from the past seven days welcome to the program. after almost 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 and revoked his asylum our video agency filmed exclusive footage of the moment he was arrested. ah. ah. ah. directly following his arrest the wiki leaks whistle blower was driven to westminster magistrate's court in london where he was found guilty of failing to hand himself into authorities in two thousand and twelve in relation to a sexual assault case which is since been dropped with more on the case reports

from central london. just to be sentenced. to what they say sets a dangerous precedent for all media organizations and journalists in europe and elsewhere around the world this recent mainstay any journalist. extradited for prosecution in the united states for having truthful information about the united states. is going. to go forward as. he. needs to make sure things. will never be extradited to united states or. to.

try to resist arrest and then. put. that. into police custody now very soon. julian assange just electical asylum to citizenship had been revoked by the ecuadorian authorities take a listen to what lendl and the president of ecuador had to say about it till. i announce that the discourteous and aggressive behavior of mr julian assange on should give the hostile and threatening declarations of his annoyed organization. and especially the transgression of international treaties to 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 wanted to 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 bar free and pay for his own food to pay for their normal three clean up after his talents 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'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've witnessed the end but at the very least it leaves him busy trying. of the judean a son stuff in the saga and to moving on to perhaps a rather trumpeted chapter of an illegal extradition battle. julian assange sought refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in two thousand and twelve the us was then investigating the publication by wiki leaks of classified military documents relating to the war in afghanistan and also looked into a songes release of cyber tools used by the ca and of hillary hillary clinton's private e-mails which it's claimed was part of the alleged russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election following his arrest on thursday the u.s. issued a formal request for asylum to extradition washington accuses a song 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 classified documents if convicted he could face up to five years in prison here's a look back at the information wiki leaks published which has proved harmful to the reputation of major world powers. how much. the to. follow but we're going to kill.

kill does the n.s.a. collect any data from the millions of those who are still wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service talks like a hostile takeovers are. global affairs analyst patrick henningsen is concerned about the president's songs as our us sets and doubts that he 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 that 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 joining staunch will not face due process or justice he'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 for tarion operatives in high positions wielding a tremendous power and are threatening to demolish the fourth estate as we once knew it a songes arrest caught attention worldwide with thousands across the globe rolling in support of the australian born whistleblower from quito to budapest protesters have been gathering outside u.s. embassies expressing concern over us on just possible extradition and vowing to free the whistleblower more ollie's are planned to take place later this sunday across australia. the sentiment has been echoed by human rights groups and politicians across the world my colleague mickey aaron discussed the reaction with artiste. 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 of the united states of. wiki leaks publishing operations would be unprecedented and you should know 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 us journalists who

routinely violate foreign secrecy rules 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 keyword is danger for journalists or whistleblowers a to those who support he is you know. a hero here is 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 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 elite to paint 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 drug a publisher if like you to know it was within journalism out of the building. up in the history books critics may cheer but this is a dark moment for press freedom we care leaks is a publisher charges now brought in connection with its material or any attempt to extradite assange to united states for prosecution under 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 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 how has politicians been wayans things songes arrest well know what to reason 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. you 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 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 someone that. shown towards abuses and by all asian of human and international right. we absolutely reject the you know amount of 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 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's still all depends on the next steps by us police and u.s. prosecutors so we will be watching out for that the sudanese military the country's president and in his thirty years of rule war and that after the break.

the rules of the game have to be changed and we are still living with historical legacy sophie decimalization most of the most a legal frameworks in investment about all of them are designed for industrial base of the stick russia and now we are moving ahead and 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 giving facebook personal information this is what makes

facebook a surveillance monster show facebook does not have users facebook has used it's people that facebook users. welcome back to the weekly thousands of protesters flooded the sudanese capital on saturday at a rally in front of the military 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 protest the army toppled longtime president omar al bashir the news was met by celebrations on the streets but artist modesty of explains how the country's new

change from enthusiasm to disappointment in just a few hours. the dictates of fuld's and the people were joyce 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. was removed by the military which sided with the people sort of a militant was really 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 do 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 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 any give us any air of iranian conflict will harm the whole region there are counter ease in 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 the un is a traumatized nation expecting democracy and magical reforms overnight as well it was never going to happen. in 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 commentating for the suffering of their inflamed ancestors. a recent poll found only twenty one percent of voters support the move for adopted it would entail an official acknowledgment of the legacy of american slavery and compensation payment 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 soul 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 fighting their respective corners on the issue we heard from conservative commentator anthony bryan logan and from attorney and author reese everson. you could have identified the former slave master and a former slave or act in a moment but we're now winds are at fifty 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 al lists 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 sell a thousand dollars from you and then i die or if i sell

a million dollars from you and then i die would you say oh well reasoned i 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 is grand days dose of it doesn't mean i'm responsible for it if somebody is granddad was so you know a killer and then 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. and 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 a racial years hundreds of years of systematic distant discrimination and shutting out of x. economic access the black people and that has to be repaid who's going to pay you're talking about a government that government is funded by the people would i mean 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 raise you know how many hands you are mostly a volunteer paid to slave women peroration is would have been do which is at the end to slavery not right now it makes no sense to argue me it is no logic here. america's never even study the effects of slavery on black people they never said down they 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 ever studied and why because the government has literally buried its head it's paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america who hate anyone i do too long to just driving if you needed a mandatory night and i'm going to be lighter out in tears 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 that was the weekly our look back at the biggest headlines from the past

seven days thanks for tuning in this hour. next as a slight angle survival guide. let's learn. let's say i'm not so i get your theories on greece some banks have to fight. thank you for.

the story that's right fellow debt slavery. you know world a big part of there mark. conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the fast and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

do it in the sort of a mad crazy genius sort of a guy he believes in the first amendment. marcus very brilliant very brilliant individual we've all heard a story about how he would be difficult to get or some of the money with the second grade. he has an opinion he doesn't hide his feelings. i think more to see and he's an outstanding first because he took on the most powerful agency in this county or you'll be in the state. look at some of the billboard analogies to mark was the day that when he was fighting the likes of. him it's a fake it's a family kind of thing we're still in iraq you know i mean it's. you know if

something is so and. we're going to. do it it's just or it. doesn't mark spoke out against pull up some on his shift but i didn't like very much absolutely how there been times when i really really thought he was a great guy absolutely. john mark doogan i'm a former marine former cop turned whistleblower after my home was raided by american intelligence agencies i snuck out of the united states into russia where i obtained political asylum today still wanted by the american federal government.
