ethical and actual legal restrictions is absolutely stunningly appalling and makes me ashamed to be an englishman i know you have campaign begins environmental destruction in ecuador under the lenin marino administration what do you think is behind the decision to let u.k. police in to the embassy to capture him jump ill just said on this show that it would be a warning from history they bribed him with the promise of a 4700000000 i.m.f. loan i may say that culminate does not end with getting. a note to give up today in the sun which also they have plans to let chevron start drilling for oil in ecuador's most important national park which is a travesty beyond all imagination but let's stick to judea and the lower in the united states. after the patcher tact and

10221021 the amendments to it citizens barely have rights anymore everything is at the whim of the commander in chief and the commander in chief is anything is allowed now there is no law there is no recourse to the law something i've written about in lots of my songs over the years because it's when the law goes. that we find ourselves pitched into. wars and this team at the moment bolton abramson trump himself and pence and all the rest of them are desperately trying to pitch the world the planet that we live on into this war sorry i'm drifting of julian who we should all be focusing on because he is who the whole world should be focusing

on him now because if we let the u.k. get away with allowing him to be extradited to the united states and we allow the united states government at their whim to torture him and to detain him possibly for the rest of his life we will have allowed them several steps further down the road to absolute tyranny and probably the destruction of the planet that's my view it's hugely important the british people need to stop their government from allowing been let in marina who would say that there is nothing bribe about bribery here he would say is not the cia base it meant to be the i.m.f. in fact he had an exclusive in the guardian once wiki leaks media which claimed that actually julian is onto some kind of by against marino in the embassy mary no the president of ecuador now. would say anything to make 10

shillings he this is a man of absolutely no substance and no morals and no compass he is only interested in that and the clearly lies constantly and consistently there is a me told parliament here's a welcome isn't just capture and. apparently 70 m.p.'s in parliament of signed a letter saying this is about sex allegations in sweden looked war crimes that's why he's in belmarsh prison in london he seems really. will trump won't sing well that's absolute nonsense as we know those charges have all been dropped long ago there are no charges standing against him except some spurious at very minor. barn door bail charge and u.k. law which he's completely prepared to face under normal circumstances of

jurisprudence in the u.k. the only reason he didn't was because he was frightened that as lackeys of the american empire the u.k. establishment would have him extradited to the usa which is what it looks as if they're trying to do theresa may comes from a long line of lackeys a long long line cameron before blair before him we we've all seen what's happened. since the 2nd world war with the moving away from the welfare state that the attlee government put in place of to the 2nd war towards more and more and more dependence upon the united states. with the nuclear submarine bases and scotland and so on and so on and so forth so

we know that we are under the thumb while we the british people need to get out from under the thumb and say no this is wrong this is illegal this is a journalist and anybody who says no he's not a german yes he is all you need to be to be a journalist is somebody who has access to a press they used to be printing presses back in the day when the laws were written now it's access to the internet or anything where you give information to your fellow citizens of the world and information doesn't matter what it is but the most important information that we judy in the sunshine is fellow citizens of the globe nate is information about this secret malfeasance and wrongdoing of all governments which legend. and julian a song which along with chelsea manning and edward snowden and the other whistle

blows down the years of the heroes who help us to gain some of the knowledge that the powers that be would keep secret if they could this is in countries that call themselves democracy is where the government is supposed to be for the people not for the corporations not for donald trump not for the abrams not for my pants not for pompeo not for the rest of those rabbit down the moles who are in charge of everything but food we the people just to be clear obviously so we can leak doesn't sue was obviously that there were never any charges in sweden just allegations but they you call him a journalist why do you think so many journalists are attacking julian a surgeon is it a coincidence that those journalists often like the european union in the jump administration also say support the overthrow of the venezuelan government there's

a intersection why journalists attacking shootin and saying he's not a journalist why does so many journalists buy the narrative if that in venezuela which you just mentioned for instance that my doro is a vicious dictator and the people are big and blah and buy the story to keep their jobs that's why. because if they express opinions that go against the narrative of the powers the a. word filters down in one way or another they suddenly find that they're not getting the plum job they're not getting the promotion they know getting that your job is on the line if you stand up to them i'm guessing obviously i don't know some of them may just be so dumb that they come on figure out the truth. he could leg sim from

a. from sources which he protects he sometimes helps those sources to collect information or knowledge and then he publishes the information that gets if he believes it to be real and true and in the public interest for him to publish it and he's not a journalist what is he then what is june in the sun should he's not i'm a you're a journalist all of us this is journalism we are trying to find out the truth about things and. no explain it to the public but to make it a vailable to the public school freedom of information and it is absolutely central to the working of any healthy form of government including democracies and that is what they're trying to prevent because they don't want their secrets to come out they want to keep everything secret they go want us to know about their methods of

torture or their incarceration of vincent people all that's why they're going off to june in a son because he is a thorn in their side also what they're trying to do trump and the rest of them and to raise them a is they're trying to frighten would be truly in a son jeez who may provide this incredibly important service for the rest of us in society in the future that trying to scare them off so they won't do it that trying to make an example of shooting in a sausage rather than doing what the us just done on told yesterday and give him awards for telling the truth for blowing the whistle judy julian as the released unconventional regime change policy documents from the united states obvious the

secret plans to destroy syria little in the more famous us will crams in iraq a connection between all of these documents the wiki leaks distributed and how come you realize all of this when say as regards venezuela policy richard branson held a live aid concert to support us in the you policy why do you know and people like branson dude bronson's not enter branson is not interested in the reality branson is interested in candyfloss and branson. he doesn't care about politics in my view he couldn't care less he's interested in making a splash for branson anybody who knows him will tell you that weighty actually he broadcasts it to be fair to him he doesn't hide the fact that he's a fluffy opportunist who really has no interest in anything real except his own eco but you are all you i was in touch with people in venezuela all the way through

february who were with their reporting out of venezuela friends of mine and i was asking pertinent questions about what was actually going on and so if anybody did any research and didn't just listen to the narrative that was being repeated over and over again maduro is a dictator the people are starving the us is trying to help them with humanitarian aid. we have to pull up and then suddenly out of the woodwork after a phone call. from who pence from pens wedo pops out of the woodwork and says hello i'm the new president mike pence says. hold on a minute wouldn't the people of venezuela say so shouldn't they have a some parts in this and by the way. maduro has not written rough showed of the

constitution of the of venezuela the constitution of venezuela. is extremely important to madeira and to most of the people in venezuela it's not important to why dope because he plays fast and loose with it he lies about it a changes 8 takes it out of context roger what is i'll stop you there more from roger waters as well as the u.n. special rubble general torture resident of liberated. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of n. o y a paradise with some around turned into

a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here tens there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. welcome back i'm still here with activist of pink floyd frontman roger waters but

he sunders the front runner arguably of the d.n.c. to challenge trump in 2020 he complained about my door and said nothing about julian at all as far as i can tell politicians fearful of taking the kind of political positions you have of course the faithful i actually use twitter very little but also to the venezuelan comments from that song this way he made sweeping statements about my door oh he was repeating than ours. i'm it doesn't matter what i tweet said he kind of discredited sim self and i'm really sorry to see it because in terms of domestic policy bernie sanders is done a great deal of good in the united states to push the argument to a more progressive position so i kind of feel for bernie sanders who i admire in some ways but of course he's scared. that he's going to make

a mistake and that will be the end of his til to 2020 election you know you only have to see the way. some of the new progressive sin congress or even people who've been there for a few years get attacked for making any kind of financial war statement well actually can only as healthy some of the new women you know a pup over tools the guy would a o c n a o c is now talking about palestine and is going out about palestine julian isn't just being called an m.d.c. my german cool been who kind of supported us on this didn't want him to be extradited doesn't want to be extradited to the u.s. has been called in and he's in music racist how do you see palestine playing in on these issues we could have a long conversation about how smearing may and cobain and the sun and anybody else who criticizes the israeli government as an she's semites is absurd clearly

and is such a blatant and cheap. tactic and we know why they do it we know why the ministry of strategic affairs in tel aviv. does it they do it because they have no aunts. to the accusations of human rights violations and war crimes and so on and so forth so it's just a smokescreen to divert a. and sharon from the fact that our criticisms those of us who criticize the israeli government's policies in the occupied territories and in israel itself and support b.d.s. maybe it's a smokescreen to divert attention from the fact that we're right and they're wrong i was sickened by the way that was happening in the u.k. at the labor party conference and the attempted smearing of jeremy cole been coping

he's a man of great principle he also has humanity he cares about people he empathizes with others cool cool been as that and diana but the shout of exactly is that as ons must not be extra di did i just quickly actually i better ask you about how julia is looming aged issues like palestine and yemen and britain now sending record levels of weapons to israel somebody like julian assange which willy nilly will be a progressive think thoughts why he chose to do the job that he chose to do that's why he's an activist that's why we mention him in the same breath as john pilcher because he cares about other people. he has some of the same qualities that jeremy kolb in as i'm going to ask you what you would say to the british prime

minister and what you think about what will happen to julian isn't here in london and whether indeed as some people say he might be killed what i would say to the british prime minister. i suspect that i mean i could say and i think 1st i'd say resign but after that old before that i said before you resign think carefully about handing julian a so over to the americans except i think that would be a waste of my breath i think i need to speak directly to the british people i cannot use to raise a mag as a conduit to them caray to resumes beyond redemption and beyond help of any kind certainly for me in my view. tory she's a dyed in the wool posts that tory i have no respect for talk she's also provided oh presided over the greatest disaster is probably in the

history of those set to dials and i'm talking about bricks it obviously would you say that such of the stakes here with that he might be killed or would you say that what we should learn from this whole episode is the importance of information and facts they are killing as son do you see him when he came out of the embassy he's been living he hasn't seen hardly seeing daylight for 6 years having committed no crime just because donald trump the commander in chief once seemed dead he may very well end up dead that is why the british people he called them as he was taken by those special branch of the. it is into that van and driven away he called upon the people of great britain to resist i

heard him i watched on the t.v. they resist them and they should there should be a general strike in england to prevent them being extradited there should be millions in the street like there were before the invasion of iraq though the powers that be probably wouldn't take any notice they didn't have that so a sarge we west or to everything that we can to protect him roger waters thank you well ahead of the forcible removal of julian assange by british authorities professor neil the melter the un special rapporteur on torture was due to visit the wiki leaks founder in order to assess whether his conditions amounted to cruel inhuman or degrading treatment he joins me now via skype from geneva neal thanks so much for coming on so the u.k. prime minister trey's i'm a minority government leader said in parliament we should welcome the arrest of julian a son to a political refugee identity card and obviously she knew of the u.s.

extradition request should we welcome it. and expressed extreme plans to expel an. ready embassy. because they were it would be arrested and possibly that actually it's united states so i don't think that is a good development and should be extremely concerned about it you wanted to see him when he was inside the ecuadorian embassy just like your colleague the special rapporteur on privacy just tell me why you weren't able to see him and now whether you're going to perhaps visit him in belmarsh prison in south east london known to some as the kind of guantanamo of britain. well 1st mostly visit to the embassy and to assign it in the air is full of tourists were kind of list of all salute along the way from now on who was the surprise thems shocked. you see the rest and before you could actually be there yes i heard another

process of michigan official request of the british authorities to be able to visit his characters of detention but so far you can't say there's been any obstruction of un special rapporteur to witness the conditions in which an innocent has been kept in what i cannot do it was to make your case and i salute many requests and i have not been able to visit him at his place of attention and the concerns of the appeal that i launch and the 5th of april to suspend any in visits to the steps of expelling him have not been respected and you intend on applying then to come and see him out of belmarsh prison where to look at yes because his doctor or a medical doctor examined him in there the ecuadorian embassy said the humanity any humanity of his treatment and the flagrant denial of his universal rights by a quid or and the u.k. are unconscionable. well you know i didn't occur only i was the maid microcontrollers not about the past conditions or an embassy but it is to fall is

1st of all his current medical conditions and where there is apparently traditional liberty is proportional to support that you let out of his clinical condition and secondly the risks you expose to if extra 2 units that are different over a country because we now have revelations about what was going on when jeremy corbin's now breakfast secretary shadow breakfast secretary once the head of the crown prosecution service we have messages showing that they apparently attempted to persuade swedish authorities not to drop sexual assault allegations saying don't you get cold feet. you know certainly it is obviously difficult to make a definite statement on a precise connection between areas you know the scenes there seems to be some material there and some questions that literally asked what we certainly cannot who are is that this is an extremely cold case and therefore also ready there is

a great risk to market a fair trial that there may be a public prejudice against which of course the papers are full of allegations here that this was about cleanliness in the embassy and the former media partner wiki leaks the guardian saying that lenin merino said that sandra's buying from the embassy as a political refugee with a refugee card under the 151 convention can can an embassy just chuck someone out after previously giving them asylum. while others are assigned maliciously zurab is based on the risk of persecution also the. current quarter have to say that there is an absolute right to be protected against any risk of torture ready or treatment so if due to the extent of his expulsion or transfer could. ready treatment there is absolutely no possibility for a state under all circumstances even national security concerns are not sufficient

to allow to deny expelling a solution absolute duty to offer more through a more specific law and when you bring up the torture context are you building on that work of your predecessor mendez who said the chelsea manning was treated inhumanely and cruelly by the u.s. military when she was in detention of course he's now in solitary again for refusing to give information to a grand jury about julian assange. well obviously we're not you know the united states has not proven to be true they got a provision of quarter in the past 2 decades since that whole war on terror and the cia. policy on torture but an awful detention practices that has indefinite solitary confinement and other ready types of extremely harsh detention conditions do not complaints of the ready international law so that certainly it would raise my concerns when we were dealing with the case that is clearly politically very

very real but but why do you think with all that context the prime minister and m.p.'s and journalists have a say in britain are all saying this is all about justice being served not the risk of just as not being served. well that's a question you would have to consider the prime minister i cannot speak for her it certainly raises my view on. the government insists mary much on street justice if you certainly are to someone who will for a case that hasn't been suspended as it's known but there's not much just as being served with regard to you know torture has happened in unitas those you know prosecutions happen to all who you know there has been a systematic policy of quarter of 4 to the prime minister that so far answer of course to come on the show and we understand obviously the u.s. must have given some kind of confirmation that the death penalty could not be used in in any case against rudy hassan's as part of britain's extradition with the

united states is your understanding of the united states could change the charges in the united states if he was extradited to the u.s. . will obviously what is going to happen if that were to happen and if then charges would be help all for potentially could. be extremely constrained and usually i think he'd be united as they would give a political assurance that he would not. polls i don't expect him to actually respect. but that's not the only concern i have but if someone gets the t.v. to produce liberty for the rest of his life were for really years under very harsh conditions for basically having done what a nested list of journalists do around her. that certainly. would be extremely alarming and undermining for ready free press around the world because he was clearly because if you're against his his own human rights.

both of you enjoy that episode of going underground will continue showing your favorite episodes from this season and you were back for a brand new season on wednesday the 11th of september until they keep it out via social media and don't forget our you tube channel these. well that's my life but you know i started out australia 40 years ago and i've been living the day the luxury areas life of ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because they asked us for years ago i've gone straight up to.

the i. was why the. as well as other russian meat producers. exporting to neighboring countries i'm sure there are some surprising exceptions for example we sell sausages to vietnam in the summer months and we will probably supply some african countries with frozen sausages to lead. the lead. the way.
