trade was corporate money universal basic. and small catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. . this is up to you know them or through it in their circles want to. get into the books for the. minute to do more when they're. quite in good. terms the choice. to eat. that is that. julian associate travels to sweep to deliver
11:31 am
a speech while there he met 2 women aged 31 and 26 the wiki leaks founder was soon involved in an intimate relationship with both of them. had the woman who had and fight him. off and her to which is studio so there's only one there's only one bed in attention and i'm going to be away you can stay so great. however things chang and the woman came back. and. wanted julian to stay there anyway. most women the really approached him it seems like especially the younger ones saw him on t.v. fell into law whatever that may be the 1st thing that it looks like someone who wants to be a rock n roll groupie approaching a man to be chasing him down and finally she also succeeds in it and they share
11:32 am
a one eyed stead which at some point becomes a ball to. it was only after learning that a song should slept with both of them at the women decided to go to the police that proved to turning point both phone wiki leaks founder julian assange on it was when this story took a very different. women went to the police. ones that's a reporter rape their report they wanted to encourage him to have an h.r. vito's because they have had sex with him unprotected and were concerned about. so there was no like actual rape right there was no violence there although all the newspapers afterwards they were saying rape allegations rape allegations there was no actual rape that this is this this this is that this is exactly this is that was
11:33 am
the aim of the holic the size to start hearing the would right in connection with. the best occasion and exonerate cantu links in the round and you'll. know when the rape allegation is ringing easing is really a more news in the renomination. in many people's minds there's something suspicious about him and because he hasn't and he's run away from the law i think it would have been better had he gone to sweden because i think he needed his opportunities clear his name but. at the same time i completely understand why he didn't see the problem in sweden with the only country where i understand the language of addition to a media climate has been set up in sweden. is quite hostile i think that if julian went to sweden at that point he would have been extradited he was often
11:34 am
like mocked in the prez and people will say ah he just wants to know as he doesn't want to face the music in sweden and so on and then said he's. paranoid but i think from today's perspective we don't really know that the us the us is really after him i think he was. the big thing that i think. to mine the public support for julian was a swedish case obviously you would find the newspapers of high repute. television stations to doing julian in and became gratuitous. i think to be fair to say the mainstream media never really liked julian. they
11:35 am
didn't really like to him because his model publishing was a threat to their system. and there was a great deal of jealousy in the mainstream towards wiki leaks and tortuous own particular why i wanted to be more like all. the one the boss. when they wanted access to commence they were then that this person simply says. no they can't even do you know great this little note with respect. in the moment they collided with him they took the information he had but then immediately let's say the next day you had a hit piece in the new york times from bill keller he was the editor in chief at that time who described him as
11:36 am
a bag lazy. he came immediately something about his character up. there i think that that is a betrayal it's a betrayal of. principal. what do you think of the allegations that julianna sanji isn't the direct quote from the new york times is that he's a narcissist with an outsized view of his own of organs and that he has no interest in monday matters like personal hygiene. really. i can't think of another journalist or publisher who has won a major international journalism awards. and for media organizations have complained about whether his socks were dirty or hadn't washed here i mean really. i
11:37 am
wonder whether any single human being has been subjected to about never most news. in the pots and was exported. into india live in a british court released a social bill on condition that he didn't leave the country. he was also required to remain at the country house owned by a close friend the british journalist form smith. well i'm now sitting in a chair morning ending i'm home it's a sort of house that is the products of wealth that my family has generated for hundreds of years my family moved trn 75. fortunate.
11:38 am
to have that response when she took off her. own smick is an investing at the journalists and that's why our journalist. who kindly. these may just be a secure place to be the place from letter to publications will be made. she'll say yes. it was say just one country yes it's always a bit safe it would be much much safer i was here and though i knew it was you but as far as if you will be grounded he says because it's about as good as. we can make some basically turn this into the office for quite a lot so you would have come in here and you to found people who working on computers bits of paper printouts everywhere running around with these little disks and things like this i got involved having julian it had involved having the people that work for him and involved having everybody who wanted to interview him but
11:39 am
this was the main office this was going to keep things cool to this. place where. a lot of work later down the road also came to happen but i would say that the big fear. the big publications from the. cable gates they were conducted. wireless charging was in house arrest and having them all. because it was so secret you'd be heroines you see people working on the computers and you know i wouldn't like office because it was you know you you know you'd be looked at and they had one don't you think oh gosh what a silly question washed off will bury them tell me if they want to tell me. i sold them release the afghan war loans i sold them working on the diplomatic. and i saw them working on some stuff that came off the woods when they were here it's
11:40 am
interesting how hard to stop organizations like we. and the whitney's isn't going to be the end of it even if we disappear which is no sign that it will. be. come a sort of guerrilla organization for freedom of speech. on the 1st judy and was in the next year on embassy. the morning off so he went to that and the 6 i read in the news and realized a lot just lost my bail money. that is the. southeast it. was. listening to a lot. of this is there could during the embassy. leave nearly 7
11:41 am
gives the embassies only the one. shoe flag. so what you're looking. at the need all of them. which in fact was. julien's the room in the. 5 yes. i asked today i saw as they found wiki leaks he's refusing to leave the ecuadorian embassy in london is expected to make his last public comment the soft name. we knew each other before he came to the embassy. basically with the possibility of protecting him rice from that friendship i was he's lost
11:42 am
a source. the bimini want to put up a celeste. can lead. people say yes. oh. this is in 30. minutes so 3 during the embassy itself is small it's a flare. of 3. can turn into one sort. of the room. they're building is surrounded by high buildings which does not allow for this sun. to come into them julian compared hughes
11:43 am
stay. to believing in the space issue because he was subjected only hochtief be shown lights. and he never saw sunlight didn't have dental care and medical care there were huge challenges. first years he was constantly under surveillance there open surveillance and when you were in the embassy you could cost countries here the people outside with the speaking on walkie talkie nearly no corner in the embassy where you were not watched in this or in the buildings we also hogs. all that's on. base was the most sort of a place in the wall for many of us. continue to run we can stay at the ecuadorian embassy while within its walls many
11:44 am
new publications and revelations came to light the highest profile exposing is probably a period in 2016 the year in which a new president was to be elected in the us. geysers by the actual survival. when customers go by. didn't help well reduce some lower. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. you know beneath the. earth the kind of good intentions of architecture that were in christening to and maybe even 40 years ago or simply evaporate to. suit the kind of pleasurable supply of.
11:45 am
want to do want to make. people. believe that stern in the songs to live thus trump. and that came from the fact that he put into the body to maine. what want to call the d.n.c. leaks basically they would e-mails from democrats. outlined how the democratic national council. based. remove the most popular. guy in the. place the clinton. country and the complete presidential election. that was something that i think the
11:46 am
american public is really important about wiki leaks is that the russian government has engaged. an espionage against america and then they have given that information to wiki leaks for the purpose of putting it on the internet. of a $2.00 and. d.c. leaks and you know which. is to convince us that this information was from russia well you know. i don't know whether the. studio hasn't told me as it was.
11:47 am
when they revealed this. crissy behind it and so want everyone. but when she lost the election everybody said like oh my god this was the reason why it happened because they needed some explanation. the reception of those cables. there was even this outrage. and these he may keep making stuff make a songe stop he came out of the embassy silence he got to keep. when the years went by his situation became more difficult and difficult the pressure because bigger and bigger and then the government changed in ecuador i think the situation became really great.
11:48 am
there was an election. became president. he was a great supporter of my. senator. decided to shift. for. decided to. defer relations united states to you know as an obstacle for dot. com not going to get really sexy out of sites ok so it will cost us. but a political reform but it must be. seized so he said this will be a little this is a similar a no government was to tell us that they had to get rid of him and
11:49 am
turned his life in. hell. turning away lawyers searching businesses and. installing cameras in every room and private meetings had to be holding the toilet not supplying toilet paper. and they've been crowing supplying toilet paper just. for getting some of this paper. forgetting to bring food forgetting to bring if they forgot to bring food for julian but. doesn't leave. his criticism because it really made it. go i have to ask this because according to the security firm employees who are hired by the ecuadorian government julian was an extremely difficult guest himself but argued with the embassy staff
11:50 am
a lot he neglected personal hygiene often left his bathroom and small kitchen in the mass. that. this is in this 18 months of the miranda. that's right. and now ladies all of a sudden. they want to have proof and reason. to take away which is really an international humanitarian scandal. so you're going to see this. is.
11:51 am
11:52 am
certainly. not going to. they stuck. it up very very. the united states immediately filed an extradition request with the u.k. but it could not be considered until julian a son should serve in the months in prison for breaching the terms of his going to tension in 2012. just keeping to the dorrian embassy the wiki leaks founder was sent to belmarsh prison just outside london. prison or. high security maximum security prison where your murderers and
11:53 am
terrorists. belmarsh prison is said to be a worse place even than guantanamo. he is. denard the writer of fraternizing with all the person knows. he told me that when he sees people go past his cell he wishes he wished he could speak to one. i saw in those leaked media also where he appears to have a lot lost a lot of weight. when i saw that i really started crying because when you know someone very well and see him in in this position. here i'm not allowed to hand him anything the only way of communicating with the outside world is to him to receive .
11:54 am
we were not sure if he wanted to communicate with journalists barred. here is a letter we have just received from belmarsh prison and it's from joel and i songes it says here on the back of. that letter reveals despair and frustration as the trial draws closer the wiki leaks founder says he has no internet or telephone access which seriously hinders his ability to prepare his own defense and that he has nothing much to do except walk thousands of laps per day around the cell. it's very distressing to. see someone who has worked with and who is an old friend. in such peril. herself. to.
11:55 am
think that they may not come out and that is very upsetting. the charges that the u.s. government have raised against julian to extradite him have shifted. at 1st they called him a hacker and said that he had assisted manning in securing the information that manning wanted. bradley manning was a handyman who was in the armed forces and clearly was shocked by what was going on around him and. bradley manning now chelsea manning. was the original whistleblower who gave wiki leaks them most important information on the afghan war logs the film from the helicopter maurice is going to spain and.
11:56 am
the diplomatic papers all came from bradley manning. the way the u.s. ministry of justice sees it julian assange didn't just receive information from an informant which would not constitute a crime journalist do have the right to acquire information from sources even if it is classified the american government claims that doesn't conspired with private manning who helped him access classified information intending to harm the united states. the u.s. hopes to prove that the sound is a spy not a journalist. to look at the charges they are absolutely applicable. to the times the other journalism for media publications. during a sound being a publisher is put in prison for being a publisher for no other reason than being a publisher. there are no rules to the game.
11:57 am
even green turn a list in the united states should feel i caused a scene in running down the spine. at the charges that have been leveled against this publisher. because they could be next. they're julian. you are one of the most bravest person i know and this sentence that you'll get repeated often the courage is contagious it was really true. that's the reason for great movements and draws you'll have slobbered think of people who. support you and understand but
11:58 am
there is. a wider issue at stake he is the lone he is not alone. there are a large number of people who value the contribution that's made. public interest. i've remembered you know when you were not as famous when you were relatively free and i remember that you were just you know carrying his legal back. and having him very humble life. would look forward to a day well he's free and not being honest and. not being chased around the world by the americans. i hope that we can get you out of there. if you will be sitting next to us somewhere nice something water by deceit. would be like just just a bad memory. her
