1:30 am
julian associate traveled to sweden to deliver 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 invited him to space also offered her to which is studio so there's only one there's only one bed in attentions and i'm going to be away you can stay so. however things chang and the woman came back. and. wanted julian to snape there anyway. those women they really approached him it seems like especially the younger ones saw him on t.v. fell into law whatever that means to be the 1st in it it looks like someone who
1:31 am
wants to be a rock n roll groupie nothing approaching him and really chasing him down and finally she also succeeds in it and they share a one eyed stare which at some point becomes a balticon don't you know. 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 a turning point both phone wiki leaks founder julian assange and it was when this story took a very different. women went to the police. one's there to report her rape their report they wanted to encourage him to have an h.r. vetoes because they have had sex with him unprotected ones. 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
1:32 am
no actual rape that this is this this is it but this is exactly this is that was the aim of the hall exercise to stop hearing the wood raped in connection with. the best occasion and. onto the links in the round and you'll. know when the police ring gazing is another story and even 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 war i think it would have been better had he gone to sweden because i think he needed some change he's clear his name but. at the same time i completely understand why he did. this on a country where i understand the language of addition the media climate has been set open in sweden. i think that if.
1:33 am
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 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 and we really know that the us the us is really after him and i think he was. the big thing that i think truly undermined the public support for julian was a swedish case obviously you would find the newspapers of high repute. the television stations to doing julian in and became gratuitous.
1:34 am
i think it would be fair to say the mainstream media never really liked 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 american history towards wiki leaks and torch and particularly. more like. the one the office. when they wanted access to a worse than that. now 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 he was at that time described him
1:35 am
as a bag. 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 have sanji is a 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 monday matters like personal hygiene. really. i can't think of another journalist who has won a major international journalism award. and for media organizations have complained about. whether his socks were dirty or he hadn't
1:36 am
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 excluded. 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 required to remain at the country house owned by a close friend the british journalist form smith. i'm now sitting in a chair. and ingham. is a sort of house that is the products of wealth that my family has generated for hundreds of years my family moved terence 75 i'm fortunate.
1:37 am
to have that responsibility to look after. me it is an investing at the journalists and that's why our journalist and kindly offered these very be secure place to be the place from where the publications will be made. p.c.'s a captain. i feel is safe as one country. it's always a bit safer to be blunt you much safer i was here and though i knew i was here but as far as a few weeks ground is a circle is about as good as. we hear leaks basically turn this into office for quite a lot so you would have come in here and you'd have found people working on computers and bits of paper printouts everywhere running around with little disks and things like this so that involved. having julian it had involved having. the people that
1:38 am
work for him and involved having everybody he wanted to interview him but this was the main office this was where the pings course this. is the place where really. a lot of work later down the road also came to happen but i would say that the big fear. the big publications fram. of cable gate they were conducted. why would jordan was in house arrest and having a mole. because it was so secret you'd be herons you see people working on computers and you know i wouldn't like office because it would 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 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
1:39 am
them working on some stuff that came off the woods when they were here it's interesting. very 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. become a sort of guerrilla organization for freedom of speech. on the 1st the judy it was in the extra one and the see. the morning off to he went to that and the 6 i read in the news and realized that i just lost my bail money. is this something that is the school and this is the gravity but it was lightning in the forest sat listening seems to me and it was. a bit sad. well this
1:40 am
is the good they're in the embassy with. the. nearly 7 gives the embassies only the one of the 2 flats. so what you're looking i. need. them. which in fact was. julian simoom. 5 yes some cars today i saw as they found wiki leaks he's refusing to leave the ecuadorian embassy in london is expected to make his last comment the softening. we knew each other before he came to see. basically the possibility
1:41 am
of an acquittal protecting him arrives from that friendship i once he's lost with so most. people. lead 3 percent of people said yes. this is him 30. percent so if he were during the embassy itself is small piece of flight. 300. jury room he 1st went. to one. of. the room just 3. buildings surrounded by high buildings which that's not allowed for this son.
1:42 am
to come into them to see julian compare hughes stay on them best. to be leaving being a space ship because he was subjected only a few feet. and he never saw sunlight he didn't have dental care proper medical care there were huge challenges. first years he was constantly on the surveillance there open civilians and when you were in the embassy you could cost countries here and the people outside with the speaking on walkie talkie that will certainly know corner in the embassy where you want to watch to be in this or in the buildings we also hogs the ranch video camera. pointing at the embassy. all that's on. base was the most sort of a place in the walls for many of us. to
1:43 am
newness and continued to run we can experience staying at the ecuadorian embassy while within its walls many new publications and revelations came to light the highest profile exposing is probably appeared in $26.00 team leader in which a new president was to be elected in new york city. was abundant make no certainly no borders just blind to nationalities. has emerged we don't talk with you we don't look like seeing the whole world needs to be. judged as coming every crisis with his system to want to. we can do better we should.
1:44 am
everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see the very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids and invented america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer who's to blame patients don't use manufacturers all the governments.
1:45 am
1:46 am
has been contained in the presidential 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. on the internet. use of a 2.0 and various. d.c. leaks and various other you know means which. aspires to convince us of this information was from russia well you know. i don't know whether it was from russia . leaks julian hasn't told me curious as it wasn't. very clear for.
1:47 am
all those. when they revealed those dirty is. the rule here crissy behind it and so want everybody. 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 was pretty nasty. there was even this outrage. and this 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.
1:48 am
there was an election in ecuador. became president. he was a great supporter of america still the. government decided to shift. for. deciding to have the furniture in united states julian was an obstacle for dot from us he started. going to get really sexy out of sites ok so it will cost us in this. battle. but a political reform must be. seized so she disappears it will be a political this is a similar and our government was to tell us that they had to get rid of him
1:49 am
and turned his life into hell. reading away loiters searching businesses to 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 for forgetting to bring if they forgot to bring food for julie and ben. and it doesn't need. to do that with is. because it will be made to. 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 argued with the
1:50 am
embassy staff a lot he neglected personal hygiene often left his bathroom and small kitchen in the mass. 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. and now all of a sudden. they want to have. to take away from. really an international humanitarian scandal. you're going to see this. is.
1:51 am
1:52 am
going to serve i'm. not ready. 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 ecuadorian embassy the wiki leaks founder was sent to belmarsh prison just outside london. high security maximum security prison where you can murder
1:53 am
terrorists and. brutal. 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 to them. i saw those leaked media also 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
1:54 am
. 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 july now 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 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 you have worked with and who is an old friend. in such peril. and.
1:55 am
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 back 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
1:56 am
on the afghan war logs the film from the helicopter voices are going to spin it. 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 conspire with private manning. who helped him access classified information intending to harm the united states. u.s. hopes to prove to sound is a spy not a chance to. look at the charges they are absolutely applicable. to potentially other journalism or media publications. joining us out of being a publisher is put in prison for being a publisher for no other reason than being a publisher. the revenue or. there are no rules to the game.
1:57 am
even for his turn a list in the united states should feel a comment i see him running down their spine. at the charges that have been leveled against this publisher. because they could be next. there 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. support you and and but there is.
1:58 am
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 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 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. or
1:59 am
2:00 am
talk. join me every day on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. i. fear even the us city of poland. federal forces of be sending to stamp out racism protests without consent from local authorities and it's led to claims of illegality. for days and nights of heated wrangling in brussels e.u. lead.
