6:31 pm
when the rape allegation actually a shrink gazing 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 is a change he's clear his name but. at the same time i completely understand why he did the program in sweden with the only country where i understand the language of addition to a media climate has been set up in sweden. i think that if julian went to sweden at that point he would have been extradited that he was often 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 really know now why. that the u.s.
6:32 pm
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 chile and. they didn't really like to him because his model publishing was a threat to their existence. and there was a great deal of jealousy in the mainstream towards wiki leaks and torch and

6:34 pm
do you think of the allegations that julian assange geez and 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 journalist more wards. and for media organizations has complained about whether his socks were dirty or had been washed here i mean really. i wonder whether any single human being has been subjected to about never most news. in the palms and was at school.

6:41 pm
. first years he was constantly under surveillance there. and when you were in the embassy you could cost countries here the people outside with the speaking on walkie talkie that was nearly no corner in the embassy where you watched. buildings we also hogs. all that's on. base was the most sort of a place in the wall for many of us. who. continued to run we can stay at the ecuadorian embassy while within its walls many 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.

6:45 pm
election. that was something that i think the american public is really important about wiki leaks is that the russian government has engaged in espionage against america and then they have given that information to wiki leaks for the purpose of putting it on the internet. use of a 2.0 and various other d.c. leaks and various other you know maims which. aspires to convince us that this information was from russia well you know i don't know i don't know whether it was from russia i knew it you know gold leaks julian hasn't told me today and says it wasn't. very clear for. all. the fault. when they revealed those dirtiest
6:46 pm
facts about hillary. and the hole he put christie behind it and so want everyone he was saying yah but it's not so bad 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 less pretty nasty i think it did there was even this outrage. and these hate make him stop 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 of the situation became pretty crazy.
6:47 pm

6:49 pm
a lot. often left bathroom and small kitchen in the mass. this is in the 18 months of the government you're talking about that's right. why is it that none of that for the preceeding 60 years. did he change personalities all of a sudden. feces on the wall. and. they wanted to have truth and reason. to take away his asylum which is really an international humanitarian scandal if. you're going to see this. it is.
6:50 pm
for. her. this was the 1st time. i could really see the toll it took. like i was shocked. cut back to 2011 when. used for. sweet rights. and to see. after i learned through torture absurdities are. trying.
6:51 pm
to serve him. not to where he. ought. to. thank. god. the united states immediately filed an extradition request with the u.k. but it could not be considered until julian assange himself in the months in prison for breaching the terms of his home detention and 2012. just keeping to the embassy the wiki leaks founder was sent to belmarsh prison just outside london. prison or. high security maximum security prison where you came in. terrorist bone bruise.
6:52 pm
belmarsh prison is said to be a worse place even than guantanamo. he is. there nodded the right fraternizing with all the person knows. he told me that when he sees people go past his cell he wishes he wished we could scream. i saw in those leaked media. 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 this position. i'm not allowed to hand him anything the only way of communicating with the outside world is to him to perceive
6:53 pm
. we we're not sure if he wanted to communicate with journalists but here's a letter we have just received from belmarsh prison and it's from jewel and i songes it says here on the back. now to reveals despair and frustration as the trial draws closer the wiki leaks founder says he has no internet or telephone nexus which seriously hinders his ability to prepare his own defense 100 he has nothing much to do except walk thousands of laps per day around the cell. it's very distressing to see someone you have worked with and who is an old friend. in such peril. and to.
6:54 pm
think that they may not come out of it is very upsetting. the charges that the u.s. government of raised against julian to extradite him have shifted. 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 we ask on war logs the film from the helicopter maurice is going to spain and. the
6:55 pm
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 assad conspired with private manning who helped him access classified information intending to harm the united states. the u.s. hopes to prove that just sound is a spy not a journalist. to look at the charges they are absolutely applicable. to potentially other journalism or media publications. during astonish being a publisher was put in prison for being a publisher for no other reason than being
6:56 pm
a publisher. there were no rules. there are no rules to the game. is free in 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 courage is contagious was really true. that's the reason for great movements of draws you'll have so i would think of people who. support you and and but there is.
6:57 pm
a wider issue at stake here he's not alone he is not alone. there are a large number of people who value the contribution that's made pointing in the public interest. i've remembered you today and went into another's 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 these would be like just just a bad memory. are

on. gravel out of anger for. a. you know being in a school or. intentions of a teacher it's worth in christian and maybe even 40 years ago to have simply evaporated and do not see the kind of pressure with the 5.
6:59 pm
we're still in an era of resource colonialism again this is a big risk and the one big thing that could really inhibit the kind of electric vehicle revolution that a lot of us want to see is if we can't resource the battery components in a sustainable ethical way then it's not going to be a successful revolution. nuclear become a battleground in the us in vermont people of demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of
