a dangerous precedent worldwide journalists. journalists. and needs international protection and not the criminal criminalization we recently he gave. truth he delivered to provide the truth to the public about the war crimes you rock and afghanistan and therefore he should be awarded more criminal life if he says that most of the sins of the knights and states his accusers by you know he can be prison for all the life i mean it's not fair because he only than the cases that corruption cases the right information to society to people in the wall now the spanish and make a an a memorandum of the times talking to a area where she received an official invitation from the ecuadorian embassy to
10:03 am
visit a songe on monday however this was of course not possible over the weekends we had there were many supporters head right outside belmarsh prison carrying banners with the phrase don't shoot the messenger instead it's surely in the songes erasto we've seen an outcry from an international audience regarding the potential extradition to the united states if anything though this is made people more aware about the revelations of wiki leaks and about questioning people and political power but the people i spoke to earlier the chairman and p's and the spanish i mean well they believe some kind of this information campaign is starting against the songe and they're very concerned about the potential extradition haring to be held on may the second meanwhile isn't getting much support in the media once hailed as a hero outlets now appear largely to have turned on him painting him as a villain. looks at what's behind his fall from grace. you want to see just how
10:04 am
radically the media you turned on a songe from champion of the press to a leper an outcast all you need to do is watch saturday night live it's comedy but boy does it hit home. thanks to wiki leaks you can see how corrupt governments operate in the shadows and in light of those who elect them thanks to facebook you can finally figure out which sex and the city character you are i've attempted u.s. military. because i'm an actor james bond supervillain and i'm one step away from destroying the god. because reality is entirely less funny what our songes faced a tidal wave of smear really ugly stuff a little over a decade ago the us military declared war on wiki leaks drop a plan which actually need a plan to discredit it and terrorize whistleblowers and it looks like they're
10:05 am
winning. wiki leaks uses trust as a center of gravity by showing insiders leakers and whistleblowers who pass information to wiki leaks personnel or who post information to the website that they will remain anonymous the identification exposure terminations employment criminal prosecution legal action against current or former insider is leakers or whistleblowers could potentially damage or destroy this center of gravity and deter others from considering similar actions from using the wiki leaks website back then at the turn of the decade as sanj was a hero of the pundits cheered his leaks exposing bush era war crimes exposing the elites corporations politicians how they loved him for it was outstanding journalism their words he was given on or after on or including the economist's new
10:06 am
media award back then we get leaks was news wiki leaks is an online news organization that specializes in publishing documents alleging government and corporate misconduct we invited judean a song editor in chief of wiki leaks and in pity. how times have changed what was news in two thousand and ten is enemy propaganda now journalistic hero or enemy agent asks the same economist neither reads the subtitle just a useful idiot who the economist awarded for his stellar journalism or take time magazine who gave their front cover to a songe in two thousand and ten now they run virtual hit pieces quoting and headlining anyone that doesn't like a songe it seems be it hillary clinton or a judge that met him once and labeled him a narcissist gets much dirtier uglier out. outlets that have historically
10:07 am
supported and she did america's wars such as the atlantic put out c.c.'s pact hate mails or the equivalent of musingly enough the hack behind this story first calls out assad has premiss cutesy with facts and almost immediately after says this artist dangling his question more and indeed one might inquire how it came to pass that the spin off of a kremlin propaganda organ and now registered for an agent in the united states first arrived on the scene i stand ready to see your inquiry unlike other networks and publications who all learned at the same time that might be leaving the embassy we could leaks told everyone unlike them we took it seriously we went and documented what happened this is called journalism journalism like
10:08 am
what i did when he exposed various war crimes at the end of the day come on we all know the exact moment these people turned against their former hero. maybe you're kind of picking up where julian assange was before he went bad because we used to like you know he used to really be doing a good service and then something happened i guess his hatred for hillary clinton maybe is would turn him basically into someone who was a russian. aide really yes yes of course as i'm jaded hillary never did anything wrong she was perfect wasn't she. speaking of hillary clinton she says assigned should answer for what he has done over newly released f.b.i. documents obtained by the conservative activist group judicial watch suggests she and her team also have things to answer for the watchdog cites over four hundred
10:09 am
pages of f.b.i. documents revealing evidence of an operation to wipe compromising e-mail sent by clinton it also says the u.s. intelligence community had concerns over classified information in some of the messages it just all of has been taking a closer look. e-mails the reason why you freddy krueger is dressed up as an i.t. guy in hillary clinton's nightmares the f.b.i. found almost fifteen thousand and released e-mails in two year long investigation of her private server the head of the f.b.i. called you out for careless handling of classified documents said she believed the seaver confidential in some documents actually stood for the order of paragraphs some three years on when everyone thought it was all over and gone new f.b.i. documents reveal more juicy details like what happened to our half of the e-mails that were raised clean by the clinton team we're not talking just a few dozen or hundred or even
10:10 am
a thousand e-mails here we're talking some thirty thousand all private according to clinton she did provide a detailed and meticulous explanation of how she picked which e-mails to delete how and who exactly wiped that potentially stored top state secrets except clinton did none of that instead she felt like joking about it. who was the sort of well liked with a cloth or something that well no. i don't know how it works digitally at all. it's because you know wipe as to meanings delete or cleaning or wine stain from last weekend. it's funny because it's cold but ok now that you're all done laughing hundreds of newly revealed f.b.i. documents shed light on how that server was wiped a company called plot river networks did all the dirty works and these
10:11 am
conversations between two of its employees leave no questions as to why they think they did it it's all part of the hill recover our poor peroration i'll have to tell you about it of the party. thanks for the heads up but even with only half of the e-mails available the new have be i papers reveal that from the get go key people had no doubt the server compromised classified material i have personally reviewed hundreds of documents in the h r c collection i can now say without reservation that there are literally hundreds of classified e-mails in this collection maybe more when this collection is released in its entirety the potential damage to the foreign relations of the united states could be significant one of the reviewers of the clinton then intelligence community inspector general charles mccullough testified in the senate that documents beyond top secret were stored on the north
10:12 am
the right server here is what happened next it was personal go back to me to my family to my office i was told by members of congress be careful you're losing your credibility are people at the get to there was an effort on the certainly on the part of the campaign to mislead people in the sense that there was nothing to see here. the clinton campaign released a statement in two thousand and fifteen claiming that none of the e-mails had been classified at the time and were only assigned levels of secrecy as a result of the investigation yet the f.b.i. knew everything from the panic selling setting in over the secrecy of the information handled by the to the clean up crew admitting a cover up but eventually james komi sided with clinton although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such
10:13 am
a case although the department of justice makes final decisions on matters like this we are expressing to justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case will this is been the problem all along i mean we had james komi who was practically a criminal accomplice in helping hillary evade prosecution or conviction or even charges for what she did and this is this is not even a minute factor this is the main factors that the f.b.i. is no longer an objective and i guess you could say ethical law enforcement agency . a prominent palestinian activist has been prevented from flying to the u.s. from israel despite having a valid visa omar barghouti is the co-founder of a movement to boycott israel and what it considers the jewish state's oppression of palestine we spoke to him about a story. i was. prevented from boarding
10:14 am
a flight. airport because under instructions from the u.s. consulate u.s. immigration have been to me from entering the u.s. despite having a valid visa and valid travel documents we see this out sourcing it's my card to democratic repression against the b.d.s. movement for human rights in palestine to the united states the us administration has been mobilized now to do israel's bidding and trying to silence palestinian israeli and international human rights defenders who are active in this extremely important and very effective nonviolent b.d.'s movement human rights groups have expressed outrage at washington's decision calling it the politicization of borders so far american authorities have refused to comment insisting all information relating to the case is confidential now barghouti was traveling to the u.s. to take part in a speaking tour at several prominent universities including panel discussions with policymakers and journalists are gritty co-founded the boycott divestment and
10:15 am
sanctions movement known as b.d.s. in two thousand and five it calls on the international community to stop supporting israel and its companies and also seeks to return west bank territory to palestinians and turn israel accuses the movement of being anti-semitic then dyker director of the jerusalem center for public affairs says the decision to deny barghouti entry was not arbitrary. think that is the that's the argument that we're hearing all over the place is that this is what they call the shutting of mouse in the and the closing of free and the prohibition of free speech but this is not the issue of omar barghouti omar barghouti from the united states point of view as a foreign agent with terror links to the islamic jihad p f l p hamas and other designated terror get as asians by the united states and europe so they don't like to have those types of terror linked individuals coming into the united states. to date over half of all u.s. states have introduced laws penalizing boycotts against israel earlier this year
10:16 am
the senate passed a bill allowing states to terminate contracts with entities who support the boycott movement omar barghouti again says this legislation comes from fear of the movement growing and popularity. the u.s. supreme court to ruled that boycotts for political social and economic change are considered free speech protected by the first amendment of the us constitution so all those twenty seven states are following israel's orders basically but they're violating the their own the us constitution we will challenge that we are challenging that in u.s. courts a.c.l.u. is challenging at least three states on their anti-democratic. laws and we think we will prevail and struggle israel is trying to suppress b.d.s. from above by passing laws because it has miserably failed to stop the immense growth of the movement at the grassroots level among the trade unions churches women's groups energy beauty groups and so on and so forth amid claims by the u.s.
10:17 am
that the chinese telecom giant wall way is a spying tool for beijing a european cyber security body has come to the company's defenses all the details after this break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or
10:18 am
rejected. so when you want to express. something wanted. to do right. that's what the fuck are you people. interested always in the long. welcome back to the program the chinese tech giant wall way has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent months amid claims its products help spy on countries for beijing but now the belgian center for cyber security says it's found no evidence the company's technology is pose any sort of threat we now
10:19 am
go live to peter oliver peter told more about these findings. yes well the latest come out following the investigation conducted by the belgian center for cyber security the be the c.c.p. i beg your pardon they said they found no evidence that who are a pro pruett provided. a threat to the cyber security of belgium of services where they're being installed there now they did say that they would continue monitoring the situation but the whole reason this investigation was started in the first place was allegations being made that while we products were being used well to spy on nations governments and businesses. to date we do not have sufficient evidence to establish any threat coming from core of a final report on the issue will not be produced as yet because this edition is still going more neutered. well the prime minister of belgium charles michel said
10:20 am
that he would be issuing a statement on who are way on the company in general its future in belgium once this investigation had come to an end we still haven't heard anything from him it would seem this is gone to the bottom of his to do pile but one of the biggest voices well the biggest voice speaking out against to our has been the united states allegations coming from the us that the tech giant from china is involved in spying in governments for beijing that they're involved in the stealing of intellectual property property involved in money laundering and also in bank wire fraud now there is no unifying e.u. view on who our way and how it's being used here in germany they put together a draft statements on standards in technology and telecommunications companies that at the moment could possibly force who are way out what we're hearing from the united states is they want to see more european union nations
10:21 am
putting things into law similar to what we've seen in germany or trying to put being put through in germany or even to go further than that it's hard to see how chinese technology would meet that standard at this point we're looking for governments to adopt security standards like we're seeing in germany. the thing is though it wouldn't be that difficult really despite what we just heard there for who are way to meet the standards that were put forward in this draft bill there's also then again the most recent comments we had just last month i believe from the german chancellor angela merkel this was after a lot of pressure was put on germany by the united states and particularly the embassy here in berlin to not use who are way products at all the german chancellor came out and said you don't tell us whose products we use will conduct our own security tests form who are way side anyway from the chinese side they deny
10:22 am

10:23 am
of the traditional big block alliances with new comers from both the left and the right embracing social media they're out pacing their established mainstream rivals but that was caught some questioning whether there is a secret driving force behind it all it's russian meddling of course what else are you thinking there is no doubt that russia will be a major malign actor we have twenty seven countries participating in that election and they are not equally well prepared to avoid and prevent foreign meddling russia is very likely to try to intervene in the european parliament elections to secure as many seats as possible for the pro russian or euro skeptical political forces the media are lapping it up with just over a month before the european elections the starting guns have been fired a new tag teams are forming particularly amongst anti establishment parties in
10:24 am
italy to use ovine as the league has announced a joint venture with parties from at least five other countries well his alliance has hopes of winning big by taking one hundred and fifty seats in the parliament but he has competition from his own new coalition government part the five star its leader luigi to my zero is also looking to make a new alliances with four other parties outside italy and let's not forget that unexpected twist to the course the you. k. which wasn't even supposed to be a member of the e.u. by now is also looking to field candidates no i joe for or she thought it already hung up his recent is dipping his toes back again this time with a brand new party actually named breaks it i can't imagine what it scans but

10:26 am
people will need your claim of the investigation is that they were going to prove a collusion between the time campaign and herself a conclusion from which means a neck and neck to behavior on the part of the time campaign and then that case as to that it collapsed it is being refuted by the media hope or for months and years the mainstream media the liberal media the so-called democratic media in the united states but also in europe also in france at least has been repeating things business that can be seen effect the putin agent of a is in the pocket book at the the coming which is totally for one of these mean cleanest collapsed the reason is why should we believe the other claims that are global news update for this hour and thanks for tuning in.
