not. just. not. good. but i welcome you watching our international just gone 2 o'clock here in moscow i'm going to start with some breaking news to you because the u.k. has rejected a u.s. extradition request for judy. let's get more on this now from our london based correspondent chante edward stashed he's outside the court and he's just about if we can go to our belief but anyway let's just recap on what's happened because britain has decided not to extradite. this breaking news right now and we can go to our correspondent who's covering the case for us in london shadier sensational news

many people weren't expecting this but it appears that britain is now rejected or did requests for the extradition of judy you sanjay. to america. well i am just hearing not directly from you actually it wasn't looking like it was going to be headed in that direction because the charge was seeming right negative when it came to june a sergeant whether he'd be extradited to the united states that she was coming out with lots of various different currents saying it was neither on just the unjust nor oppressive as sources from inside the court was saying that she was satisfied that the prosecution was not political so it is quite. a decision that has been made it was a decision described as a move that would break him by june ozon just for the by june or songes partner he called it a politically and legally disastrous so it is a historic day not just for junior son and his family but also his supporters and

campaigners say that this is a case is really about the freedom of press and the public's right to access information as well of course it was a huge case because if he was found guilty he is going to be sentenced up to a 175 years behind bars so we're just hearing the news coming out now i would say you got that before us it is nothing like this very very dramatic we're hearing even cries coming out right now we will be following this more compact you see as we get more information from outside the court here in london ok show that you just don't know who wore we've got you can you just describe what we're seeing because we can see a lot of people running behind you to say where you warm what sort of reaction you can see. what we are seeing actually people walking in the streets now so i actually can come to the decision has ruled in favor of judas so it just seems as though the judge was describing he has won this case is

a final decision you're absolutely correct missing so many people his supporters and campaign as absolutely judy are celebrating hugging each other we're waiting. the stand of maurice the part of your assertion that. this does seem right now does exactly what happened was right below 4 knots of people celebrating the police actually trying to move campaign is on throughout the morning saying that they wanted out of being that they are now reclaiming this place this is the. celebrating. this really does feel like a historic moment and. it is what's incredible about this moment shaddy is that in the run up to this we're talking needs the expectation was that he would be extradited it was so much pressure on doing this are showing much was reported that he hadn't had to receive a fair trial we haven't been able to prepare properly for this trial and so to hear this london judge come out and say that she's reeling against this extradition is

extraordinary. absolutely extraordinary indeed because as i mentioned sources from inside were saying that it was really seem like it was going to go against him in fact it really felt that the judge was quite hostile throughout this entire case units are just been hauled off in london secretary an embassy for almost 7 and a half years then he was transferred courted it was missing was out taken to about march prison that he was it was the u.n. special effort if that's what your integrity should even said he was experiencing psychological. sound like everything was going against you it is really really unexpected as verdicts here in central london this morning. ok shadi we'll leave it there but just i mean while you are there we shouldn't forget that there's an appeal process that can be launching could have gone either way perhaps many people were expecting it would have been a songe that was appealing today's decision but i do expect an appeal now from the

prosecution will be heard so this saga isn't over yet but certainly the junior songe and his supporters it is a monumental day for them thank shadi will come back. in the course of the afternoon that sharia edwidge daschle outside the london there is just root against the extradition of g. c the united states a case that this band many months many years people have been pursuing june the stange to try and get him to trial in the united states for exposing what is sanchez war crimes committed by that country in afghanistan and also iraq too but the big news right now just breaking over the last few minutes is that britain has rejected that extradition request by the united states for junior science that won't happen but as i mentioned there it could go to appeal. many people are expecting that to happen so perhaps this saga could run on for a lot longer to get but that's that's what happened has happened over the last few

minutes and we get some background to all of this if you're trying to catch up to you and remember exactly what has happened so you were doing your sanjay over the last few years his report from you don. jr and his son has come a long way from an obscure activist to freedom fighter or traitor depending on who you are one thing you can deny him though is that he led the charge that we kill leaks to dig up the secrets that america's intelligence colossus spent billions of dollars burying and he succeeded.

field reports from iraq military logs from afghanistan sensitive documents from guantanamo bay none of which made the u.s. look particularly good but would argue that it's closer to being a high tech terrorist it isn't it i mean international community i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a. great discredit to this nation should be assassinated he should be treated as an enemy combatant it didn't take long for a son to experience firsthand what it means to be uncle sam's public enemy the us

went after the whistleblower launching a probe into his actions at the same time a seemingly unrelated sexual assault investigation was opened. in sweden a son himself though claimed it was all part of america's poor to extradite him by all means possible the pressure mounted so when 2012 a son requested asylum from ecuador and holed up in the country's embassy in london this kicked off what would become a long 7 years of confinement with even the u.n. calling for an end to this suffering various forms of deprivation of liberty to which julian assange has been subjected constitute a form of arbitrary detention the working group maintains that the arbitrary detention of mr assigned should be brought to an end instead the old things short from bad to even worse for a sign of ecuador's new president who was looking for warmer relations with the

u.s. seem to take personal offense when we can leaks wrote about corruption allegations against him sanj was shown the door artie's video agency ruptly turned out to be the only outlet to catch the moment a son was literally carried out of the building some 7 years after he stepped in it . was. once u.k. law enforcement got their hands on a son they threw him in prison a proper one but the u.s. government is looking to try him under american law where the whistleblower faces more than a 100 years behind bars now every cording that emerged in line has sparked another wave of calls to pardon the whistleblower in the tape ironically julian a son she was trying to help u.s. authorities minimize the fallout of the 2011 leaks. which will have

an. hour here is that it's more your. but we have been calling. me. every day trying to. hold back donald trump since you're given pardons to people please consider pardoning those who at great personal sacrifice expose the deception and criminality of those in the deep state mr president if you grant so you want to act of clemency during your time in office please free julian assange those you alone can save his life i'm hoping that he will pardon julian assange it's the right thing to do so far trump has remained deaf to the pleas the julian assange just saga has been going for so long it feels like it could be over any minute but flashing back to how it's been going so far it seems like we've just turned the page on another chapter. but we certainly have

because over the last few minutes we have heard from the british court that they have ruled against the extradition of junior sanch let's get more reaction i have neil clark is behind me he's an independent journalist based in the u.k. he's been following the giving of songe case for years to watch your reaction today i can only say it must be one of surprise i'm going to showing but also you must be very happy with the way this is gone so far today. good morning and happy new year to everybody yes it is good it is a very pleasant new year's surprise isn't it like many other people i think most people were expecting the decision to go the other way that julian would be extradited to the u.s. . it hasn't been course this is cause for celebration understandably but as you said yourself. but out of the woods yet because of course the united states prosecutors can appeal against this and so it will depend what they just what the

united states is next they can appeal in which case this saga goes on for many more months the ball is very much now in the u.s. is court as to what happens next yet we're still speculating as to why this decision was made the fact that this london judge went against extradition because if you look at what the prosecutors say they were saying for a long time i've got it here just to help people home remarked remind them they said there's a stanch help the u.s. defense analysts chelsea manning breach the u.s. espionage act was complicit in hacking by others and publish classified information that endangered informants so they believe they had a very good case against him and he as you said this could now go on for a long period of time through pales. yeah i mean it to separate issues here there's what you just read out the data against your son from the u.s. prosecutors and there's also what the british magistrate had to decide was whether

to extradite and the strongest point of the defense was always that when the extradition treaty was was went into law with the u.s. . under the blair government there was a horse that famous reviser that that this wouldn't apply to political cases so there's 2 separate issues here there's the charge list which the americans have and then there's the specific issue of extradition to the u.s. for what many would argue was a political political case so that doesn't mean that there isn't for example the u.s. couldn't seek to bring those charges against him we're talking here about whether he should be extradited to the u.s. that are 2 separate issues and of course he has one so far santry on that absolutely fascinated see what happens next whether the u.s. will appeal and whether julian is able to walk free because that's the big thing that they do appeal then helplessly he will stay in jail for a number of months how slow these processes are he won't be a free man so as i said this much cause for celebration but equally. supporters and

innocent we're not there yet ok and what you think the reaction then would be of the united states because we have got joe biden coming to power do you anticipate a change of tone from him. it's interesting isn't it we've always would have the legal arguments we would have the political background to all of this i believed that the disease and to her spoke on today's announcement about extradition to the fort and john yoo many people believe that was simply because they the establishment believed that trump would be gone by then or else he would have lost the election and politically it was more feet and more acceptable to extradite genocide to joe biden's america than it was the dollar trumps america because of the 2 hatred that donald trump inspires among a lot of the so-called liberal left so there's that aspect deal with we know that the united states is in a predicament here because there will of euphoria today people will say it's

a good does it isn't and then if the united states comes along say no we're going to appeal they could be seen as a party. they might get some bad press for this however present their point of view . if julian as sidewalks that built the bellagio free man then they would say that this might not be enough incentive or to tear it for anybody else to to follow it to do what u.s. one has done which is leak secrets war what war secrets or crimes of the united states and its allies so it's going to be. a tough call for the united states what they do next to be fascinating what they actually decide to do know what to expect from the british media and their coverage of this case because they had been very vociferously their pursuit of junior songe certainly over the last year or 2 and he was originally maybe a few years ago he was seen as a hero exposing more crimes and suddenly all that changed what sort of reaction would you expect this time. well as a journalist i've been monitoring the media reaction very closely and you're right

let's think back to 20089 he was being lauded by liberal media winning the award winning need your awards that it all went terribly sour and he became a demonize he was produced he had relentless campaign against him in the media prior to his arrest in the last year or so we have seen it's interesting how bandwagons work as more and more people began to say even with the cow to get caught they had to put it all well out of the family is however what's happened to these wrong we saw more media figures from the mainstream come on site to a certain extent and say look i don't like the guy but it's wrong it should be extradited it has been a shift again now so it's going to be fascinating to see tomorrow's papers all today how the media represents us might really be quite divided i should imagine they'll be some who will say that actually this is wrong others will say well technically it's right however he's still a bad guy i don't think we're going to get all anybody in the mainstream media coming out and saying look he's a hero is invite the most powerful nation in the world he's still standing we won't

get that because it would it within the mainstream even if you defend a son to a point there are pragmatist you have to keep. i was following the case too and certainly the u.s. government during this case that was heard in the london court the u.s. government explicitly argued that all journalists are liable to prosecution under the espionage act for publishing classified information at the time it didn't seem to resonate to get much coverage it should have concerned a lot of journalists just wondered whether people would start to reflect now more on that and understand the implications. well gone killed my friend a great journalist letter a good list he made the point number of times that if union is extradited to the us then no journalist is safe and he theory that's correct but i'm afraid that most members of my profession know the rules they know the rules they know that no go

areas and in theory yes any proper journalist who indulge in proper investigative journalism and took the lead wherever they it wherever they lead would beat its threat and the danger of of as you said the espionage act anybody that goes too close to these issues but 99 percent of journalists know the no go areas and they will stay safe because they don't challenge power they don't challenge a lot already we see that in britain this year with the lock down of the government we see that our foreign policy issues so it would only be the journalists who want us to question more who would get into trouble with that not the vast majority who know the rules and know the parameters yeah sure and just lastly neal what we've got you want to minister has come at a very interesting time i say that because a bracks it and also britain now has negotiate with the us over some sort of transatlantic trade deal as well do you think cases like this will be compartmentalized or could this spill over into a more difficult period in trying to negotiate deals between the u.s.

and britain will i be fair it was a big fear of those of us who were not optimistic about how this would end today we did fear that precisely because of threats it and the need because of bracks it to get a trade deal with the us then the us would have more leverage over the locate because obviously boris johnson the british government want to get a trade deal with the us that would be a pleasure in their cap. and by refusing the tradition to the us of the world's most famous political prisoner if you look at jena saundra how is that going to play in washington it's hardly going to go down well in washington and there is a threat of course this could this could. jeopardize any trade deal and so again but again it all depends if the u.s. decides to appeal that no they do appeal then sort of the they'll be trying to exert some pressure on certainly that is the very next thing everybody's looking out for to see what the u.s. will do and whether they will appeal neal thank you very much for your insights on

this that was neil clark independent journalist there speaking to us from the u.k. thank you. thank you. ok well let's go back to london and go back to our correspondent who's covering this force that saw the call without his story just a few minutes ago shadier i could hear a lot of judy in the sound supporters there celebrating outside because just describe what it's like there at the moment. it really does feel like an absolutely juvie an atmosphere here of course is seen as an absolute victory for campaigners supporters of june a sign that of course the juden sergeant itself and indeed his family it was all looking quite negative throughout the court proceedings this morning it was feeling as though it was going to go against him so it was totally unexpected but it really is an absolutely electric hot frying feeling outside of the criminal court right here we've got campaign is as important as celebrating and cheering we just are having speeches now from stunna morris

a partner of june assad who no doubt is absolutely g.p. and herself it is all as i say looking very negative against your son she was facing almost 175 years behind bars if he was to be found guilty and convicted over in the united states if he will soon be extradited because the united states legal team they describe his role in one of the largest compromises of classified information in the history of the united states the u.s. indicted him under 18 counts of the espionage act for wanted him to face trial for spying of publishing these classified documents relating to the war in iraq. and now oh nothing shit from his supporters outside the criminal court of the u.s. something wanted to find him guilty of the one conspiracy to hack the government and you to see happen as these classified documents were supporters and campaign is saying these are running in a campaign of truth this is an absolute monumental movement for the freedom of

press for the rights of public to accelerate the base relation goes i think this article your judgment and i'm now joined by david. but how is a friend or airline trying to send to the member and leader of the union for him to hire a terrorist properly thank you so much as joining us at this morning what is your initial reaction was that actually i was a chore to expect but i'm so happy that he's. been discharged for whatever reason it's fantastic i mean there's so many people who've been campaigning for an awful long time against this injustice when he's gone through 1011 years of hell 1st under house arrest and in belmarsh prison for the simple crime of journalism which isn't a crime he's standing up for freedom of speech he's done nothing but tell the truth he's been treated as a political prisoner and hopefully this is now the end of his trial that's was the a district judge she said this is mostly based on mental health grounds we know that you know science has been ruled in london that could or an embassy has been

then in the marsh prisoners you mentioned yes it's a very great victory for can pay supporters but of course he's enjoyed a lot yeah he has enjoyed a law and the east mental health has suffered an unknown people close to him have said that that is the case he should have gone through this ordeal but at the end of the day he's also a political prisoner has been for you know for the time he's been in belmarsh prison and you know so there is that aspect to it as well and so you know that needs to be taken into account and we need to recognize that this is a injustice which is going on what has gone on in this country and that's now what's come to an end of course it has to come to an end in your words but then again we will see quite likely see an appeals process from the united states government and this will be. alpha course say a defeat for then say it's not either just yet is it i hope it is something or hope that people see sense and maybe they just let this be now because he hasn't done

anything wrong in my opinion in the opinion of all the people outside. lives. here on the streets and you know they're trying to getting over to the united states to face charges there but i really hope that people might see sense that they want to appeal because we had one ruling today that is not going to be extradited what's the point of having an appeal by dragging this out for another few months or years there is going to do what i just want to create the district judge as she said give an impression is of a depressed and sometimes despairing man fearful for his future and of course his future did look quite bleak if he was going to be sentenced to 175 years in prison but it was also quite bleak for the future of journalism as well yeah both those things he would have been very very pleased for him i mean julian assange could have spent the rest of his years in the. hole in the united states but you know of course it's going to have an effect on his mental health but yes this is this is

not just about him personally it's about journalism it's about freedom it's about freedom of speech it's about freedom of the press and all those things are being of the point both in this country are by the action of the people of the united states to trying to get him to be extradited to the pushing this action here thank you very much for that live on our really appreciate your time i said as you can hear in the as you can see this is an absolutely monumental victory for supporters of judy innocence they say that it wasn't just him in the docks here outside the criminal court but of course it was a fundamental tenets of the freedom of press the front plexi right to access information essentially journalism worldwide it's really a great moment to witness ok thank you shelley that was shouted stashed there outside the london court this rule against the junior sanch to the u.s. . shadi that the u.s. has said it will now we're paying for that information just in to you but of course

says that they will now appeal against that decision prosecutors had said all the way through this trial that sounds help the u.s. defense analysts chelsea manning breached the u.s. espionage act and was complicit in hacking by others and publish classified information that endangered informants however the london court has now ruled that he can't be extradited because of concerns over mr sanjay's mental health so that information that breaking news just in over the last half hour or so and of course we'll be getting plenty more live reaction to it over the course of the afternoon. now in other news today america's vaccine rollout isn't exactly going to plan the country badly missed its target of inoculating 20000000 people by the end of 2020 getting the job back to less than a 6th of that many tailor my picks up the story.
