global affairs analyst patrick henningsen believes the sun would never get a fair trial in the us. 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 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 saw it will not face due process or justice he's going to
12:09 pm
face. a simulacra of it but not the real thing as long as our us has game global attention with thousands rolling in support of him from quito to budapest protesters have been gathering outside u.s. embassies expressing concern over his possible extradition with more rallies planned to take place later today across australia my colleague mickey erin discussed the international reaction to his arrest with their patrol go. 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 encourage so many people to think and ask questions about what the most powerful people in charge of this world could be hiding and this can truly be felt through
12:10 pm
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 persecution by the united states. for wiki leaks publishing operations would be unprecedented and unconstitutional would open the door to criminal investigations of news organizations prosecuting a foreign publisher of violating u.s. secrecy tools was set and especially dangerous precedent for us journalists who routinely violate foreign secrecy laws to deliver 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 activist organizations to those who support him he is you know. the hair i hate
12:11 pm
is an award winning journalist but there are those who hates am and he's as a whistleblower a villain how is he raghad it while some people don't see a difference between 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 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 of like you to know it was within 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
12:12 pm
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 a science did to just to for 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 that how has politicians been way in since 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 to 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
12:13 pm
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 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. the rights of the freedom of speech and disseminating information it is something that it's absolute if you think that i mean that we are talking about that. show on the war. 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
12:14 pm
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. a u.s. presidential hopeful sparked debate by proposing a bill to provide reparations to african-americans senator cory booker says this would come to think for the suffering of slaves a recent poll finds only one in five voters back the move a lot would officially acknowledge the legacy of american slavery and financially compensate those affected the issue is getting a lot of traction. 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 some long conversation
12:15 pm
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 we debated the issue with conservative commentator anthony brown logan and author reese iverson. 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 your pay will be al less and that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard
12:16 pm
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 stole a million dollars from you and then i'd 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 has 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 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 i was free labor so what we have is here to ration years hundreds of years of systematic does the discrimination and
12:17 pm
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 big government big government is funded by the people that 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 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. americans never even study the effects of slavery on black people they never sat down and said we know that as a government we think this they think from 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 it why because the government has literally buried it had it paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america who hate it when i when i do too long to just drive if you need
12:18 pm
a mandatory night and i'm going to be lighter i didn't hear 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 we could continues after the break. the rules of the gate have to be changed and we are still living with historical legacy syfy decimalization most of the i say legal frameworks invest about all of them are designed for industrial base a fresh start russia and now we are moving ahead and and i think the problem is that our concepts are like a behind. the
