these. ones that's a reporter rate their report they wanted to encourage him to have an h.r. vetoes because they've 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 because this is this this this is it but this is exactly this is that was the aim of the whole exercise to start hearing the would rape in connection with. the best occasion and exonerate the 2 links in the round and you'll. know when the rain pulling a string easing is really 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
6:31 pm
the war 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 didn't see the problem in sweden it's not a country where i understand the language of addition in the media climate has been said often 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 press 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 when we really know now what the that the us the us is really after him i think he was met with.
6:32 pm
the big thing that i think. the public support was the swedish case obviously you would find the newspapers of high repute. television stations to doing. i think would be fair to say the mainstream media never really liked. they didn't really like 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 torch and particularly. more like. the one the boss.
6:33 pm
when they wanted access to. knowledge they can 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 he was at that time described him as a bag. he came immediately something about his character. who i think. betrayal it's a betrayal of principle. what do you think the allegations that. the direct quote from the new york times is that he's a narcissist with an outsized view of his own and that he has no interest in. munday
6:34 pm
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 wonder whether any single human being has been subjected to about never most news. in the parts it was at school. in 20 a live and a british court released a soldier on bail on condition that he didn't leave the country. he was also
6:35 pm
required to remain at the country house owned by a close friend the british journalist form smith. i'm now sitting in a chair by morning and ingham. is a sort of house that is the products of wealth of my family has generated for hundreds of years my family moved terence 75 and i am fortunate. to have that responsibility took off her. own smick is an investing at the journalists and that's why our journalist. who kindly offered these very be secure place to be the place from waiter to publications will be made. p.c. i'll say that. i feel as safe as one country and it's always a bit safer to rebundle much safer. i was here and no i knew it was you but as far
6:36 pm
as if you would turn around in these cases because it's about as good as. we can make some basically turn this into office for quite a lot so you would have come in here and you to found people working on computers bits of paper printouts everywhere running around with these little disks and things like this that involves having julian it had involved having. the people that work for him and involved having everybody who wanted to interview him but this was the main office this was what he had courses. that is the 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 fram. cable gate they were conducted. wireless jordan was in house arrest and having them all. because it was so secret you'd be herons
6:37 pm
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 then one don't you think oh gosh what a silly question washed off what they don't 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 to the woods when they were here it's interesting very hard to stop organizations like we. and the way please isn't going to be the end of it even if we disappear which is no sign that it will. become a sort of guerrilla organization for freedom of speech. on the 1st the judy it was in the next year and the see. the morning off today he went to that and the sikhs i read in the news i'm really. as the law just lost

6:40 pm

6:41 pm

6:44 pm
6:45 pm
vote 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 that information. wiki leaks. of a $2.00 and. you know maims which. is to convince us that this information was from russia well you know i don't. know whether it was from russia. leaks julian hasn't told me it wasn't. old i. was. when they revealed those dirtiest
6:46 pm
facts about hillary. and the wall 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 he may keep stop making stuff make a songe stop he came out of the embassy silence he guy came. 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 pretty crazy.
6:47 pm
there was an election in ecuador. marriner lenin became president. he was a great supporter of america still the. government decided to she. was going on foreign policy. decided to have to defer relations internet states to you know was an obstacle for dot the must be separate. because really sexy or such not just the records look on the scene of this. battle structure but a political belief it was but it must be. but it's a kind of let me see if to so she said this we will be able to persuade us no it is not for them or a now government was to tell us that they had to get rid of him and.
6:48 pm
turned his life into hell. running away lawyers searching businesses. installing cameras in every room and private meetings had to be holding the torah not supplying toilet paper. and supplying toilet paper just. for getting some of this paper. forgetting to bring forgetting to bring. if they forgot to bring food for julia. and they. secured a space who. is. related to. go i have to ask this because according to the security firm employees who are hired by the government julian was an extremely difficult guest himself. argued with the embassy staff
6:49 pm
a lot be neglected personal hygiene often left his bathroom and small kitchen in the mass. this is in the 18 months of the miranda 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 they are. feces on the wall. and. they wanted to have proof and reasons. to take away his asylum which is really an international humanitarian scandal we. are going to see this is. the signal that science is.
6:50 pm
6:51 pm
several. years where. god. was. the united states immediately filed an extradition request with 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. embassy the wiki leaks founder was sent to belmarsh prison just outside. high security maximum security prison where you're murderers and terrorists.
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 he could speak for them. i saw those leaked media was great 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 receive their heads.
6:53 pm
we were 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 reveal 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 100 he has nothing much to do except walk thousands of laps per day around the cell. it's very distressing to see someone who had worked with and who is an old friend. in such peril. and.
6:54 pm
to. think that they may not come out of it is very upsetting. the charges that the u.s. government have raised against julian to extradite and 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 the asco and war logs filmed from a helicopter or uses
6:55 pm
a german spoken in. the diplomatic papers all came from bradley manning. the way the u.s. ministry of justice sees it julian assange is 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 the sound is a spy not a journalist. the charges they are absolutely applicable. to potentially other journalism or media publications. during astonish being a publisher is put in prison for being a publisher for no other reason than being a publisher. there are no rules. there are no rules to the game.
6:56 pm
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. dear julian. you are one of the most bravest person i know and this sentence that your repeated often courage is contagious was really true. that's the reason for great movements of drugs you'll have a 1000000 or so i would think of people who. support you and understand but there is. a wider issue at stake here he's not alone he is not alone.
6:57 pm
there are a large number of people who value the contribution that's made. public interest. i've remembered you today i 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 away he's free and not being honest or. 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 or. are
6:58 pm
6:59 pm
i can't show you my face but i'm going to teach you must. in 9093 this man was sentenced to death they get charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for that week with the son of a $23.00. i doubt that i deserve to be but you know i'd be very. confined within 4 gray walls he fights using. trying to help him to leave defense room. ah. ah ah ok to use to look it. up but.
7:00 pm
supporters of the jailed wiki leaks founder joined us on trial in march in solidarity ahead of his extradition hearing a number of celebrities addressed to the protesters in london. america is not democracy at all. it's a total sham i think all he's done is provided a. safe place for information to go on they don't want dissidents they don't they want what looks like a free press. russia is accused of backing both republicans and democrats in the 2020 presidential election with anonymous sources in the media now saying the kremlin wants to help bernie sanders. and leaders that fail to agree on
