straight to the drafting possible, have a listen to this. this is therefore part of a broader problem faced by many developing nations under the yoke of the i m, f and world bank loans. the i m f and the world bank. having a tory is history of funds in mining the sovereignty of developing countries through their oppressive loan conditions and treating african economies. like lab rats for neo liberal templates. the name of the son that is fox who stands and so they direct see with the people of kenya, describing the bolt proposal as exploitative kenya is not the only one. most countries in africa facing an acute cost of living prices and rises due to the amount for content season off for suspend on interest payments. and i am as low as it is often higher than anywhere else in the world to get to there is no serious effort to be made to find a solution to the crisis. countries that have to negotiate $21.00 by one basis as if the fault useful they is,
10:07 am
and the people who end up paying the price of all of those tend to be those who have the least and matches that even made was by the fact that african countries will have very little say in decision making in the will bend and the i am if in other words the i am if and these are the international institutions, are the enemies of progress almost every developing countries, the world. all right, the vehicle again was secondly, keep a tab on this development as they unfold again, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed on this. local john list canceled monday sent us this report from the scene of the protest. leah, the, the,
10:08 am
now we'll do a p d point, the vision between the middle to the puppy on the, to the old reserve that it's going be at the co. lo but yeah, i'll be more talk on those data. didn't keep it the like, put it like, well here i did, i know, but oh well we've been a bit some stuff with the we he's the appeal for that is a for this thing that the police are using definitely the use. it's with the source on the city they for the 20th or 15 deal, they got to go to what do to do model, but i'm it on me to uh that went through debate. anybody to the right. not too good with the full and see do they do reach us? it's most is do i believe the review bradford that we're not, but the roads that we don't, we are that are the clothes that they want to clinic. we did the default to be dropped off into tennessee. and now let's return to all the breaking news which have been, we've been covering all day here in our tea. and after 5 years long say the saw the
10:09 am
maximum security prison in the u. k. the we can, meeks co found that julian assigned is finally out of his cell, the jail and the country. here are the 1st images of the legendary whistle blower. 81 has seen in the years. now the n hayes baffled against expedition, sanchez agreed to plead guilty to a single criminal charge in the us, according to we can leaks here that the you case. but last present on monday, after spending 1901 days behind boss that he then boarded him, there, crofton threw out of london, and he's expected to return to his maybe boss trade in his wife, along with the chief editor of we can meeks of spoken out in praise of these years long 5 for press freedom, truth and justice, or 12 years on i'm visiting join in 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,
10:10 am
next week join will be free. the cost of julia and of course, has been deprive of freedom 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. to assign his landed inside land, and from there he set to fly to the remote to us territory and the pacific ocean, the northern marianna islands to appear before our court. and he's expected to be credited for the 5 years. he has already sub in prison and not face any more jail time. however, i see you as presidential candidate, robert kennedy junior says the case. that's
10:11 am
a warning. president's 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 and 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 dealt a big blow to freedom of the press. to be a journalist again, the nature, oh, well, you have to say you're guilty, but you can be killed at any moment because they will kill you if you don't admit to your guilt that has been established by the plea bargain. this is huge. it means to everyone out there is a journalist, this is the kind of these are the kinds of or do you have to find to be a real journalist, you know, in britain they're not even showing it on the news, particularly. they're showing some royal ceremony with the vassal stage of japan every year. and this must realize that they have to go through that kind of
10:12 am
sacrifice is the julia science has had to go through to be the best they can. why else the north marietta islands? i know it's in your australia, but uh, a good thing of colonial imperial us m bar islands known for the only known destination of nuclear weapons against civilian populations. we must remember that in any bashful state like britain, what today's plea deal means is don't be a journalist again, one of these best to stay. so there's no such thing as british just is because he'd miles down to us just as britain can affect the orders of the united states, just as development fully off the street. you don't have to be a us citizen, put you in the maximum security prison. the dock on time to move from britain mail, belmont, and until executive order, joe biden says, yeah, we can come some deal,
10:13 am
then you'll be free. absolutely passing. and a british court should be telling the law is to tell the judges and the case has dismissed them. the britain, britain is not a sovereign nation, and britons entire justice system is a fraud. but to join this and will, that will be the same. and it's up to join the soul around the, in the nato area, to finally throw off the shackles and understand the importance of julian is on the global south. those already, they were lying about afghanistan. they were lying about iraq. you were lying about libya to align your my little the into mentions while assigned finally wants to free from present in the you. k comes out to a years long campaign across the well, not protest as decried what they called the persecution of journalism and for tooth and nail to try to stop the with applause expedition to the united states as well. let's get more on all of this from our to steve sweeney, who's been close me fall on the new terrace, sag a full year. steve,
10:14 am
you've been covering this issue for the past so many years now. now, as someone who has followed this best development by from the one, what would say that the business, the size make development right now, i remember that you follow the case in london. you know, you were there and, and follow every development they talk to us about this. well mike, um, i honestly didn't think that i would be sitting here with you off to 14 years of close covering of this on the case. discussing his release from belmont high security prison, now it's been a very long emotional, but joyous at 12 hours. i've not slept really since the news broke. i've been up all night speaking to lawyer speaking to friends of judy and campaigners activists . and we're all sharing really this sense of disbelief now. you know, we've spent the last 14 years in the pouring rain outside belmont springs and we've attended protests and riley's handed out leaflets. we've issued
10:15 am
a petitions coating for a solid is to be released. we've even attended both a partings. both the policies have waiting celebration. so today's news is obviously extremely welcome saying judy and leaving the united kingdom on the airplane from style instead. apple now come pay. there's a game we've been discussing this for years, not really. and, and the override in this case is deeply political. it involves a really freedom of expression, press freedom, the rightful jordan, is to publish information that are in the public interest, and also for the right of the public to receive that information. but of course judy and faced the full force of the state, well, 2 states in fact, it particularly the united states and breast it. now, as we understand in my discussions over night that julian has agreed, a plea deal. he's expected to receive
10:16 am
a suspended sentence off to pleading guilty to less of felony charges. of course the united states wanted to expedite him to face charges under the espionage act, with at least a $170.00 is potentially behind balls. now, i've attended many cold cases over the years. many of those julian didn't attend either due to his physical states or otherwise nitty over them with false it go. now, the last time i was in london, i spoke to status on his duty and his wife. and she told me that she feed for his live. she said that every time she goes to visit him, she says that it is going to be the last you cited his pull, a, the physical house and his mental health was incredibly pool. and she said she believed that he could commit suicide. now this was really a cool of his appeal against his expedition to the united states and his lawyers. his legal team argued that washington couldn't offer any guarantees to his safety.
10:17 am
now this is something that was also echoed to me by amnesty international. the human rights group and i was, i spoke to naples mel's at the you in special rapids. so for toto. and he told me again that duty is conditions inside belmont high security prison. he was catching a very, very small area and he said about the physical deterioration that he so each time that he visits it. and he said that this was deliberate, and this was a deliberate attack by the forces of imperialism against judah. and now again, at the last here in the united states, prosecutors said, well, we can guarantee judy of the safety. but when they were pressed, they actually admitted that judy and didn't have any rights as an australian citizen to that protection under the us constitution. so they, in effect on the mind, the whole, you smile spin 2017, the c i a was a, so we 2021, a you all who use investigation uncovered in the alleged port to assassinate judy
10:18 am
in the songs on the streets of london. they came up with all sorts of funds of also now there's one was a shootout on the street outside the ecuadorian embassy. the other was blowing up the wheels of an airplane. should he leave for rushing out. cool? is this with shoes? use that or a guy we discussed this and she said, well, how could estate the ports to move to judy and really be trusted with that his safety. now again, this should have been huge news applause to kill the world's most famous doing this on the streets of the press is capital. but again, i covered it in my use paper. i work for the time on the other. the other, the carry, the story was the bbc who read the guy to the, to the somali service. now a guy and i said, i've spent years covering this on the case of, i've said, years writing about it. but it's more than the uh, within my own union, the national union of jen, this i spent a year is really trying to get fucking for so and it was hardly ever met with
10:19 am
a lukewarm response. there was some vague statements, but there was never any attempt to mobilise members, for example, the last court here and i, i attended, they would know and you type on this. i was no message sent out for people to attend and show. they sold his advocacy and support for judy and i spoke to many of the people that attended not having to come from abroad, from companies in europe and elsewhere. and they were, dost ready? this lack of support and solidarity from inside britain, but not just from the national union of doing this the. they started the lack of attendance from labor policy members, an act of a sudden all the trade union is because they thought that this was a you know, what was most important case one around press freedom. now, of course, assange posed a threat to the establishment of, we've seen overseas the exposure of the war funds committed by the united states. and they saw him very much as a threat. but one of the key points i'm
10:20 am
a gave myself that our lawyers can pay those and others. we have to work very hard to pressure the press freedom groups and the gymnast unions to actually recognize judy and states as, as a june list. and also whistle blower, and this took many, many years before they've reached the reach that all right, we have to leave you here that almost certainly will keep a tab on this and let the world no, because john lives across the will, the following business, especially those who are in the investigative don't live in section. thank you so much. the sweeney for this development by now now, a dozen episodes of g down the fondest, 2012 show the weld tomorrow had been broadcast on our t as a included interviews with hesper law leader. has enough products and full mike with dorian, president, rafael, korea. we will be broadcasting highlights from bills programs throughout the day here in our international the right here in russia. the

10:22 am
when he'd visited before a city of lobby was also important because this is going to be the range of all these 1st, was it to russia, off to the ukraine. stop is now you likely to go to russia and build up russia india. i'm who summit, which has pretty been a tradition since october of 2000. and that has been very regular ever since the court found that may, can fax a lot, the man who was in 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 back drop of roy tide between new denny and law school also significance. 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 queen and the subsequent west and sanctions on the threats and the pressures that india has to be. sounds good to see the west. i remember the
10:23 am
when the board started in, when india continued 9 months from russia, there was a lot of pressure on india. but of course india from india seeking a neutral stance as far as the voice since the end of the day sitting there has been very, very good about its historic. it's steve, it's some, it's very solid foundation, thoughtless you with russia is something that one has to really read. yes. all so this visit is going to be important. because remember this with this down comes uh at a time when, and the reason will be is expected to skip the s c will some way to 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 book with this particular now linda was really to rush you of course the deeds are being chalked out yet. and we have a confirmation of that. also hopefully in the coming days of school,
10:24 am
but again a very, very significant visit of the crime in this. so reading this. a movie to russia. in fact, this is a wizard that the world will be watching closely. it shows also will give a talk to the west. now, moody's upcoming visit was announced a 10 inch national farm in moscow. coal, the prim i called readings of the events which is now held for its 10th time. it is a platform for experts to discuss international trade in relations. i love coma, one of the participants on the other of a governing body member from the breaks chamber of commerce and industry says the motives visit will benefit both russia and india. as both countries need a dialog on a range of issues. a stage visit was somehow does not happen before, but it's good decades coming in to meet a very close friend. often you waiting to be silent and
10:25 am
be select. so it's good for both the country. for me, there are lots of to the 1st the sites and say to how to come out with the the steve and the security. so some other particularly showed you how to many, the financing and all the funding said trying dixon, i was told to come up the, the largest huge project we just have each to do in, you know, what country now let's return to our top story. this our protest as in can yet fewer us over the tax hikes have stored in the parliament building and setting parts of it on fire. ablaze has also been reported that the city full in not will be on to 8 people have been killed in thousands injured, has riots, rage in the city. now please use your gas or what the cabin to try to break up the crowds and the boiled over off to be

10:27 am
most all sun set up the, in the system to progress be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the ortiz vote net, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. what question did you say a request which is the
10:28 am
the 2nd superseding and dot info, 18 charges which include 17 charges under the espionage act and one charge under the c. s. a leasing dr. relates to the 2010 which he likes publications, so declared on that a publication, the rules of engagement, rock the diplomatic cables, the whole long, same respect of iraq and afghanistan and the guantanamo bay files. we filed a legal challenge against that expedition,
10:29 am
which was heard over the course of around 18 months. we raised concern about a piece of process related to the spine on us as his legal team, and on julian and his medical professionals. the way in which the united states is described, the facts in order to justify his expedition. we also raised concern about the application of the u. k. us treaty. that treaty prohibits extracting someone for a political offense. the united states has applied for his extradition, produced treat it as a criminal in this clause car to this is, julian is a dangerous terrorist who's going to put powder and i k installed gunning everyone down in the cold. i was sitting up in the gallery watching this astonishing
10:30 am
spectacle of injustice and order to talk to his lawyers. he had to kneel down, fresh, easy i took across. so a cause here was i had to say and to taught papers, it said it makes it very difficult for us as he's legal team to take instruction, some join when he's sitting behind us, we have to be constantly watching to see if he's got instructions on what's happening during the course of the hearing, and it's very difficult to talk to him in a secure and confidential way. because in order for him to communicate to us, he has to say it loud enough so that the people next to us can often hear it's our opposing counsel. that's unsatisfactory, of course. and while we made an application, now legal team identification during the course of the hearing to have him sit with them that was denied the same case.
