a broken every is a hand to access inside parliament. yes, it is a 1st and it's a brand new. i'm seeing that kenyans have gotten to understand that's at this particular point. to the biggest and unexpected in the me office who approaches is the international money to find well, i know for you can get our to correspond and thank you for bringing us up to speed will stay on this as it develops. now local journalist kenneth, for monday, sent us this report from the scene of the protests that a the

now we'll do a b, b point provision, victory development. both of the puppy on it is the duty of reserve that destroying the circle of homo. but yeah, i'll be more talk on those data, didn't keep it the like, put it like what he did on that. but a while, we finish with some stuff with the re he's i wouldn't appeal for that is a for discrete. the police are using the use, it's with the source on the city before they put it towards this being able to guide through well go through what do to do model, but i meant i need to uh, that went through today the body to the right. not too good for the full and so you do need to reach us. it's most is do i believe to be real records of we're not, but the roads that we don't we are that are be closed. that there was the plan that we did. these are default to be dropped off into tennessee. all right, let's return to all the breaking news, which we've been covering all the here on r t. after 5 years locked inside, the maximum security prison in the you carry the we can lease code, found the jude and the saw. just finally out of the cell. the drill and the country

. here are the 1st images of the legendary whistle blower. any one has seen him, he is now a san has agreed to plead guilty to ascend go criminal, a charge given us to and his buckle against expedition according to we can meet. so he left the new case about march present on monday, after spending 1901 days behind bar t then forwarded an aircraft in for you also, but london airport. and he's expected to return to natives australia, his wife, along with the cheese editor. oh we can meet. so have spoken out of him. praise of his years, long, 5 full press freedom. the truth and justice. 12 years on, i'm visiting julian and a high security prison. but this, this period of our lives, i am confident now has come to an end. and i think that by this time, next week join will be free. the cost of julia and of course,

has been to deprive of free the for all these years in the bathroom for journalistic freedom. freedom to publish a foundation of democracy. throughout the years of julian's imprisonment and persecution, i'm incredible. movement has been formed a movement of people from all walks of life from around the world who supports not just join and not just us in our family, but what to him stands for truth and justice. a song just landed in the in phyla and from there he set to fly to the remote us territory and the pacific ocean, the northern amarion islands to appear before a court and he's expected to be credited for the 5 years. he has already been present and not face any more jail time. how about as us presidential candid robert kennedy junior says, the case? that's a watering president. the bad news is that he has to plead guilty to conspiracy

to obtain and disclose national defense info, which means the us security states succeeded in criminalizing journalism at extending the jurisdiction globally to norm citizens. julian had to take this. he has heart problems and he would have died in prison, but the security state has imposed a horrifying president and delta big blow to freedom of the price. and that is as the case of all lawful conspiracy to obtain secret documents is named by the us court documents. let's look into it from at least 2009 and continuing through at least 2011 and at a fence, begun and committed outside of the jurisdiction of any particular state or district to the united states. the defendant julian, paula sanchez, who would be 1st brought to the district of the northern mariana islands, knowingly and unlawfully conspired with chelsea manning to commit the following offences against the united states to receive and obtain documents,

writings and notes connected with the national defense, including such materials classified up to the secret level for the purpose of obtaining information, respecting the national defense. it seems that this decision to a full this please do think he took it on his own or does he with pressurized? well, i think it's a bit of a mix of both because if we look at what the united nation says about solitary confinement, it's julie and assigns is literally been tortured in prison. and it's, it's clear that his health has been deteriorating over his years. of confinement, so it's, it's a really understandable why join assigns would plead guilty to this charge of conspiracy. when the us is essentially ready to let him walk after getting assigned is australian is on american. i mean there's a new we expedited to australia. well, you would think, right, but because this involves the united states, washington's once again proving to the world that it feels like it can do whatever

it wants, it can break whatever international norms it wants, it can completely disregard what it so called. it's so called rule of law that it always says it hold so sacred. i mean, this case that assigns is going to go through with this court cases, not even going to take place on the mainland of the united states. it's taking place and overseas territory. and the western specific called the northern mariana islands. and i think it's safe to say that if this situation or a situation like it took place with any other country in the world, this would all be going down a lot differently. this was a strategy and citizen, and he was not us in the united states. he was not in the united states when this felony is what they say was, was credit. he did not steal the information. if the dissemination of this information is a crime, then every person where i now stand in the palm of the strategies of the site is on the way to the united states of america. because your printers and you know that christ method confusions. i didn't want to, i want to place in australia way of life and the cronum of to read. if i've seen

the chinese communist party move to beijing, or destroying citizen who has offends a lower in the united states of the north side, unless he's in the united states, when he, when he commits suddenly, that's the case. that's a, that's a completely different issue. but from what i read, and of course we're all very new to this it's, it's do a plea deal on a felony. a lot of people are saying that this is a great development they're celebrating and to a certain extent it is. but we also have to remember that julian, a sondra already paid the price of for, for just being a journalist after over a decade of contending with the raft of washington. and it's, you know, this, this decision by the united states to do this. it really looks more than anything like a conveniently timed political play by the biden administration, because we've got only a couple days left before the upcoming debates between trump and fight. and now it's, you know, by no doubt is hoping to look like some sort of merciful progressive fresh in the

minds of the american people. it's great that julian assigns will finally be released in what smells like a desperate bite and gamut for libertarian votes. but it's shameful that he had to spend years riding in a foreign prison for doing what other reporters do regularly. it all goes back to when again join us on received the materials from a former us army soldier, chelsea manning to receive sensitive materials that basically it's supposed to us work right across the middle east. and for that, he was on the run from the law from the united states again you and though he was an australian citizen, he had to uh, find refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london for 7 years. he was confined there . um, and once the uh, government of ecuador to ended up changing hands, they ended up handing them over to the british authorities there. they spent the next 5 years in a maximum security prison being tortured in solitary confinement. so this is uh,

basically, you know, why it looks like doing the sanchez gone for the saga just for receiving materials and doing his job as a journal assigned. finally, walking free from present in the u. k. comes after years, long pressure campaign across the well protest as decried what they call the persecution of journalism and fought tooth and nail to try to stop. there was a blow expedition to the united states. but let's get more on all of this from r t c. sweetie, who is being sol suite following the notorious stag a full year. steve is good to have you join me right now. you will one among those who was covering assigned his latest hearing in london in march. this one would say this is a seismic development right now. what's the reaction to this? well, mike and i must say that i've followed this case for 14 years, and i never thought i would see the day. what i'm such in

a studio talking about judy and i saw on his release from belmont high security prison in london. now it's been a very emotional, a 12 hours or so. i've been up all night speaking to activate campaigners friends lawyers. and there's still a sense of joy with a sense of disbelief now. for 14 years we have stood outside belmont prison in the pouring rain, given out leave foot side off people to sign petitions. we've attended a raleigh's protests 1st, a potties on steven wedding celebrations. and yet today, hey, we all, with the joy of sight of seeing judy in boarding, a plane of a sunset, apple in britain and heading out of the country to australia. now for campaign is this case has always been one, just be deeply political as it's cool. really is about freedom of expression, the press, freedom of rights for goodness, to publish information in the interest of the public on the right for the public to

receive that information. but judy and of course, felt faced the full power of the states in particular president and the united states. now we understand judy and has agreed a plea deal which allowed for his release. he, we understand that he's going to be pleaded guilty to less a felony charges, which of course, much a copy of much less. a set of sentence then was anticipated if he'd been extra directed to the united states where he was being charged under the espionage. i now have attended many cool paintings over the years that many of those he didn't attend. maybe all of them have been for the falls to go now his wife's that a told me many times that she feared for his life. every time she visited visited him in belmont prison. she said it could be the last time his physical health was very poor. his mental state was very poor and she said really that he could commit

suicide to any bowman and reading. this was the crux of the, his defense against a and his appeal against his expedition to the united states. now his lawyer is the legal team argued that the united states couldn't guarantee his safety. this was echoed by human rights groups including amnesty international, the united nations special russell to talk to me. it was now was that who said that these conditions in almost prison were, in fact torture now, but the dos call him and i attended the united states actually to prosecute just conceded as much. they said the judy and didn't have that protection as an australian citizen under the united states constitution. now, course in 2021 an investigative report by you all who can use on, covered on an alleged attempt to assess a vague duty and so on. on the streets of nothing, this was a problem, the cooks up in the white house under the administration of donald trump, if both the c i and apparently the collusion of m i 5,

they came out with all sorts of fun, simple scenarios, a gun fight on the streets of london was one of them, another including including blowing the wheels of a pipe if he flew to russia, so a stellar is always maintained. how can the states the plans to move that union? the trust is really a great question. then now julian assigned came on the intense pressure from the us government for his bombshell report on the so called collateral damage in the rocky war. a. can you flush out that for us, for us to have a better perspective? yeah, so i was on the ground last year in the exact spot that we saw in the video entitled collateral mode. and now this was released and with like you leaks in 2010. this was a 2007 attack. and, you know, the monks are still very much visible. the shock no damage in the house of still

that the community remains very much as it was back in 2007. this is a, a sheer community or last, the sheer community on the outskirts of baghdad. and i spoke to people that and they remember it. and like it was yesterday and they spoke about the apache helicopters circling up off before coming down very low, an opening fine on crowds of people. now this was a civilian area. a lot of the people killed between 12 and 18 of them was civilians . but of course, the united states or it as a whole bed of insurgency. but this was typical of the attitude of the united states during that period of occupation when they viewed everybody as a potential threat. and now we've seen the risk footage of the apache helicopter opening fire. we've heard the last as the civilians, late dying and of course, among the dead or among the wounded with 2 children among the dead were 2 voices during this

you shoot them off buddy. my god now as cool as it was, is this footage on the exposure of war crimes committed by the united states not only in iraq, but also in afghanistan that net to these challenges being brought in against him. now this was about leaking classified information, the state secrets, and allegedly endangering operatives in the field, particularly within those same opportunities of what's coming out we'll times, but this was something that sounds always denied. he said that he'd gone to great lengths to protect the names of those individuals that i spoke to eye witnesses, a game survivors, people that lost loved ones that they were very,

very clear. a song is a he wrote that he should be free for instead it to be george bush and tony blair, the former, which is prime minister of us president, respectively. that should be locked up and charged with will finds committed in that country. right now. you were also there, when i sondra is the asylum status was revealed, bobby could do a re engagement and, and how these hold him out of the, the, the, the, the building and so on. can you, could you take us through that drum on that development as well? yes. uh, a song, so i'm was grunted asylum, india, ecuadorian embassy in 2012 by the ben president of ecuador, russell korea. now he was hold up. they had not changed dramatically in 2017 with the election of new president that involved right now. now, for many ecuador is an outside is i assume that he was going to continue to posit progressive politics of his previous asset. but this didn't happen the then sofa,

quite frank with washington. a pull mindful flew out there on that number right now . offered to expedite duty into songs to remove him from the ecuadorian and embassy and relates his stages in exchange for some kind of tech release. of course, the ecuadorian economy was absolutely free for i spoke to rafael, co writer about this. and he said that more right now it was seeking this new relationship with the in the united states and payment to the wife from the old policies. and he was embracing a more liberal policy now mike pence, we know people out to see, i'm not, i don't see. so we don't know the exact outcome of those discussions. but miranda was so keen to get a sound out of the ecuadorian embassy that at one point, he even made him the ecuadorian composite to russia. president responded by saying that they wouldn't recognize his diplomatic status. i mean, if he set foot outside the embassy, they would arrest him immediately. so in 2019,

as you said, let him but i know revoked his asylum stages and we sold these unprecedented scenes where police store them to the ecuadorian embassy. we've never seen anything like this before. and then soon after that he was charged with skipping, but he was counted off to belmont prison. now he received a 50 week sentence for that he was supposed to be released off the saving half of that time. but instead, he was hold up the 4 years as he was deemed a flight risk. and then of course, the expedition to the united states was very much being played out in the press is quotes. now, what happens is maxwell, again, i spoke to many people over the course of the last 12 hours and whether this is a victory for press, freedom or not. what opinions very divided on this and many site that he should have been cleared of all charges us on top be committed any crimes, although they accept and a very happy,

but he's not received his freedom off to 14 years of incarceration. so the set of writing that the celebrations continue a we see now duty in bold a flight and he's making his way a to or to a stray to now the haven which is due to take place on wednesday. this is where the plea, bargain is set to be heard, will ship more lights on the details of his release, whether any restrictions have been put in place. we're expecting that they will be, but of course we'll be bringing you on the reaction as we have of course. so we have to stay on this as the whole world is watching. what's going on, steve? so we need thank you so much for bringing us up to speed on this. thank you right now for my see i on the list of laurie johnson, believe the assigned to is this actually held hostage by the west. despite all the claims about defending freedom of the press. well, i think the by name is tracy is doing a number of things to cur. the decks for the elections. number one, the join

a sancha is now out soliciting in the sense of offering to pay people money if you bring the information and engaging in actual ask the nice activity. but he provided a platform more very embarrassing truths about us foreign policy could be revealed. and is a, they were dynamite. when they came out, he was basically held hostage by the western democracies who claimed to all told freedom of the press. and it was all because he, what he did was he embarrassed to expose their lives, particularly there lies about the one to walk. so, you know, you can't, when you embarrass a politician, that's like the unforgivable sense of what the night states has been doing for the last 23 years in the aftermath and 911, illegally detaining people, arresting them, incarcerating them, torturing them, holding them without access to

a lawyer holding them without bringing charges. me good god, the united states has been behaving like the israelis with the palestinians. away from my sides. now, the red carpets getting a vacuum and the golds getting a polish and the crumbling into which says preparations that now well on the way for a visit of the recently re elected indian from minnesota, that under moody will be heading to moscow with a date soon to be announced, as i can confirmed, we are preparing for the visit of the indian prime minister. i cannot comment about the dates yet because they will be announced jointly by both parties. we are actively making preparations this visit will happen. this is a noun, prime minister, and arrange a movie will be with the team, watch sometimes. so when it has been consumed by the kremlin, now, this is going to be a significant visit and significant on many don't. first,

this is going to be not reasonable. these 1st relate to russia in 5 years, the last time he was in russia was back in september of 2019, when he visited before in the city of law, the was called. but also important because this is going to be the reason for his 1st visit to russia. austin, in green stop is now he's likely to go to russia on bills of russia, india. i'm who summit, which has put even a condition since october of 2000. and that has been very regular ever since the court found them. a can fax all documents with india. this was in 2021 before the pandemic. and ever since it has slowed down, so this was age of prominence in the range and will be also in the backdrop of ruling time between new denny and most cool, also significant. that's the backbone review of the creed between the 2 nations has been defense and that has continued to grow even off of the one you clean out of

the subsequent west and sanctions to add some depressions that india has to be a good to see the west remember the when the board started and when india continued 9 months from russia, there was a lot of pressure on india ad, but of course india from india. so you can, if you to staff as far as boys, since the end of the day sitting there, it's been very, very cool about it's historic, it's steve, it's some, it's very solid foundation. thoughtless youth with russia is something that one have to really read. yes. all so this was, it is going to be important because remember this with this down comes uh at a time when, and there will be is expected to skip the s seal summit, which is going to happen next week. in fact, the 3rd of july there's, there's also been a lot of speculation about these commitments to go to the top with this particular

now is really to russia. of course the deeds are being chalked out yet. and we have a confirmation of that. also, hopefully in the coming days of school, but again, a very, very significant visit of the crime in this. so when the marines are moving to russia, in fact, this is a wizard that the war. 6 will be watching closely. it shows also when you talk to the with while they head over your asian studies, the opposite of a research foundation. none done an indication on told us that the partnership between moscow and new delhi appears to have stood the test of time. it is important to tell the whole was that uh, india and russia are still on the same page. it is important for the 2 leaders to sit face to face and understand the concerns.
