in addition 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 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 don't really know now what the us is really after him and i think he was. the big thing that i think. the 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 like julian. 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 torches saundra particularly why i wanted to be more like cops the one the boss. when they wanted access to the commands they were then that this person simply says . no they cannot even do you know great this little note with respect. case in the moment they collided with him they took the. and 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 a bag lazy. he came immediately something about his character up. there i think that is a betrayal it's a betrayal of principle. what do you think of the allegations that julian assange g.'s and the direct quote from the new york times is that he's a narcissist with an outsized view of his own of origins 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 wards. and for whom 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 little in a british court released a soldier on bail 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 smith. i'm now sitting in a chair by morning. it's the sort of house that is the products of

wealth of my family has generated for hundreds of years my family moved here in 17 months to find. fortunate. to have that response when she took off her. own smee is an investing at the journalist and that's why our journalist. who kindly offered these may be a secure place to be the place from letter to publications with me mate. she'll say yes. i feel as safe as one country and it's always a bit safer to be punctual much safer i was here and though i knew it was you but as far as if you will be turned around in these cases because it's about as good as . we can make space if we turn this into the office for quite a lot so you would have come in here and you'd have found people who working on computers bits of paper printouts everywhere running around with these little disks

and things like this so that involved having julian it had involved having. the people work for him and involved having everybody who wanted to interview him but this was the main office this was what he means courses. 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 for. cable gate they were conducted. wireless jordan was in house arrest and having them all. because it was so secret you'd be herons you see people working on the computers and you know i wouldn't like all this because it would you know you you know you'd be looked at and then you'd think oh go for the city question washed off will bury them tell me if i want to tell. i saw

them release the afghan war logs i saw them working on the diplomatic. and i saw them working on some stuff that came off the boards when they were here it's interesting. very hard to stop organizations like working. on the with these isn't going to be the end of it even if we do use disappears which shows no sign that it will. become a sort of guerrilla organization for freedom. of speech. on the 1st judy it was in the next year on embassy. the morning off today he went to that and the 6 i read in the news and realized a lot just lost my bail money. that is the school and. he said listen to me a minute wait a minute. this

is a good during the embassy. leave nearly 7 gives them by sees only the one. shoe flat in the face. so what you're looking. at the need only balcony that the embassy which in fact was . julien's the room in the last. 5 years. 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 softer they.

we knew each other before he came to me. basically the possibility of protecting him arrives from that friendship. when people. lead. me to. see that this is him 30. percent so free during in pursuit so for the small piece of flight. 300. first when they were trying to sort. of the room. they're building is surrounded by high buildings which that's not allowed.

to come into them but julian compare he's sick day. to believing in the space ship because he was subject to only a few feet. and he never saw sunlight didn't have dental and medical care there were huge challenges. the 1st years he was constantly on the surveillance there. and when you were in the embassy you could cost them the people outside with a speaking on walkie talkie. corner in the embassy where you watched. buildings we also hogs. all that's on. base was the. last survey place in the wall.

continued to run wiki leaks during his stay at the ecuadorian embassy while within its walls many new publications and revelations came to light the highest profile exposes probably appeared in 2016 the year in which a new president was to be elected a new. object . 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. people want to do one. believes that june in the sun to live the trouble. that came from the fact that he put into the body to maine. one of the d.n.c. leaks basically they would e-mails from democrats.

about the law and how the democratic national. committee. plays the clinton. country and the presidential. bout was something that i think the american public is really important about wiki leaks is that the russian government has engaged in espionage against americans then they have given that information to wiki leaks for the purpose of putting it on the internet. about something called goose of a 2.0 and various other d.c. leaks and various other you know means which. aspires to convince us of this information was from russia well you know. by doing that whether it was from russia who would you know leaks to. all of the fold.

when they revealed those dirty is. the will he put christie behind it and so want everybody was saying ya 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 there was even this outrage and these he may keep stop making stop make such 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. there was an election and it quickly. became president. he was a great supporter of america still the. government decided to shift. going on foreign policy. decided to. defer relations in united states. to call for dot. i'm not going to get really sexy other sites not historical coliseum this. battle. but a political rally for must. see if to see the separatists will be able to persuade us is

a similar and our government was to time and that they had to get rid of him and turned his life into 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 through this paper. forgetting to bring food forgetting to bring them if they forgot to bring food for julian but. it doesn't need. to do. is because this is a producer has really made it a. go i have to ask this because according to the security firm employees who are hired by the majority government julian was an extremely difficult guest himself

but he could be argued with the embassy staff a lot he neglected personal hygiene often left his bathroom and small kitchen in the mass. that. this is in the 18 months of the miranda government you're talking about that's right. now why is it that none of that is just for the preceeding 60 years. did he change personalities all of a sudden they are hugh's heem. mean feces on the walls. they want to have truth and reason. to take away from asylum which is really an international humanitarian scandal. and.

you're going to see this. is. the 1st time. i could really see the toll it took. like i was shocked. cut back to 2000 or they have been written. for law are very. sweet. to see. him. often right on through torture etc these are.

several. years where. the united states immediately filed an extradition request with. but it could not be considered until. served in the months in prison for breaching the terms of his home detention and 2012. scaping to the ecuadorian embassy the wiki leaks founder was sent to belmarsh prison just outside london. high security maximum security prison where you can murder

terrorists bone bruise. 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 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 receive

their heads. 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. that letter 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 and when 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. 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 him have shifted. first they called him a hacker and said that he had assisted manning in securing the information that manning wanted. bradley manning was a hand man who was in the armed forces and clearly was shocked by what was going on around him. 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 a journalist going to. the diplomatic papers all came from bradley manning. the way the u.s. ministry of justice sees it julian assange has 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. proof that just is a spy not just. to look at the charges they are absolutely applicable. to potentially other journalism or media publications. joining us our mission being

a publisher is put in prison for being a publisher for no other reason than being a publisher. and we have no force. there are no rules to the game. even for the turn a list in the united states should feel i call it a scene and running down their spawn. 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 you'll get repeated often courage is contagious it 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 understand but there is. a wider issue at stake here he's done alone he is not alone. there are a large number of people who value the contribution that's made. public interest. i've remembered you today and when you are not that'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 i. would look forward to a day well 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. would be like just

just a bad memory. are on her. revel to thank you for. same wrong but old old just don't call. me old ladies yet to say proud disdain comes to educate and in the game equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
