9:03 pm
a 15 minute recess. and is now going to continue for the final part. what do we know so far? well at this point we understand you in a sanchez entered his guilty plea to one charge of violating the espionage act, conspiring to declassify information, and get information that was classified, made public. now many are looking on and saying that this looks like it very much could be the end of julian hassan, his 14 year legal battle, 1st walled up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. then from there in belmore as prison and of phasing a sentence. and then for the, for extra addition being held in light of possible extradition. but it looks like the thing, the whole situation could be coming to its conclusion. let's review what he's been through the
9:04 pm
now many of looked on and noted that julian hassan, just not a us citizen. he's not a us government official. you've never worked for the united states in any capacity . julian hassan has in australia, and this legal proceeding is essentially the united states claiming jurisdiction over the entire world. and what a jewel innocence do. he made public a number of things that were given to him by sources. he revealed us war crimes in afghanistan and iraq. he revealed all kinds of diplomatic cables that were made
9:05 pm
available to him. he also revealed that the democratic national committee was rigging its primary, essentially to prevent bernie sanders from being the nominees. uh, all the things that he revealed are things that the public in theory, according to the notions put forward by leaders of the western countries. things that the public has the right to know. now. robert kennedy junior, the nephew of us president john f kennedy. currently, an independent residential candidate. these are today's proceedings as not being a victory in this case. and he was one of many people who supported julia so on throughout the process. here is some of what we heard from julia cassandra spouse, as well as from uh, the director of wiki leaks. uh about all the support julian or somebody has gotten over the years while he was held a waiting. what looked like the lead up to this day, which was unexpected, here, some of what they had to say. 12 years on, i'm visiting join and
9:06 pm
a high security prison. but this, this period of our lives. i'm confident now that 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 3 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. now there were many voices that spoke up in support of julian assigns among them pink floyd guitar as roger waters, many celebrities, many activists,
9:07 pm
many political figures. and at this point, so we have robert kennedy junior, the nephew of us present john f. kennedy, current independent presidential candidate in united states saying he's not happy about today's proceedings. 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 precedent and built a big blow to freedom of the press. the now western leaders of the 1st ones to speak up about the rights of journalists, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, etc. but many a pointed to this case as a blatant example of their hypocrisy. but it does appear that despite
9:08 pm
all of the years and despite you know, talk of killing julian hassan jan. all kinds of ugly things in response to julia sondra and his journalism that julia sanchez agreed to make this guilty play. uh, he has made it and it looks like he could very well be on his way home to australia within the next couple hours. uh, and many are seeing those as the conclusion. disappointing to manny. but the conclusion of a lengthy saga kayla many things to bring this up to speed or not thought the correspondent kayla moulton. well, let's bring it, i guess. now let's discuss this with charlie for an independent journalist and commentary so many thanks for joining us on the program. it's great to see. so of the use of code bottles, it seems long to be a song. stronger is finally coming to an end. just how surprising is this developments here on the g 570 back. very surprising date for all the people that know this,
9:09 pm
but i'm actually in with law originally. so i'm off that was by community quality is and i guess as far as surprising especially that me and my wife being through um what they were going to do. and in the cold process in america my and finally got the language. so if i went to suddenlink, right, thanks for choosing song and this family know section contains for of the justice or journalism and marketing officer and the journalist. now, in terms of the plea bargaining process in america, it's one of the nice floor processors. and he can add himself to the thousands and thousands of people in america. the front of the band jail says mike will be innocent because also the seats all games and that's not connected to the us prison system. and we'll know how i'm just the company. but it's just the money
9:10 pm
much the machine ready. but um yeah it's, it's very interesting. i mean i, i work up to this just a couple of days ago. and i spent a lot of time looking at the west of media because obviously, i mean, i was kind of talk to you and the now it just let me change again. a very interesting and that's until a few days ago it is the size won't even in colds and seventy's just a racist basic reading, but i wasn't, john still can reach the right missing. and now the now it's, if it's times to, oh, this is absolutely anything that terrible is that she's never been in prison folders years address. but let's not forget, he was in a very high situation, very tough prison. then i'm in london, which is run down the ready to move the people in the to these 2 guys are resorting inside. i guess it's very surprising. i think there's a lot of pressure from the various courses based reading. government understands it a very good job and account ending in australia on the polls and mr. ideas. but i
9:11 pm
think what's really driving this is that, um, by doing this obviously might be a huge mistake when it comes to gallagher page lost a lot of things, youngster pools that he had over there. and i think he wanted to use the tools to say, look, i am trying something, but it's traditional to them. it's just a shame that he has to plead guilty. it's a, it's a miscarriage of justice, but it is the best. so he's the time slot is a very interesting point that you raised there about these base you to and that we've seen in the, in the west and main stream media. and we, we yet to find out exactly why the us took this rather dramatic reversal in policy right now. which brings me to the timing, you know, we all in the us election. yeah. the us stuff. and it's been off to a songs for years, really gunning for him. why do you think they offered him a deal now? i think it's mainly because of the election. yeah, i think by that is probably going some right behind it seems that there is some
9:12 pm
truth around the world that made it very clear that this really complex. and you may be able to stop, stop, stop searching, international relations for example. and i think if it went coal in the u. s. a, the, they would probably follow through with the i think it could get quite embarrassing and, and i think it's much easier for the west. the media just side line somebody when, when the installer treat confinement and not able to speak, i'm not part of a mess, a cold case. but there's a, there's often the case with the, with high profile cases going to they come out to experience an, especially when it's thinking homes to social media and young people get involved as well. and they see how terrible and just it's, it's not could be a election swimming if you haven't been already. so guys, according to the coal filings they set this quote inside time it was actually selected by a stones because he was completely unwilling to travel to the us. mainland. what do
9:13 pm
you think about it? well, if you look at some of the age these i've seen just today, one of the la city um that are a couple of 3 deals that that came about previously that had, sorry, the suspects conditions attached to them, for example, revealing saucers. and when you've got presidents like the ones we have in the us from and by them who is trustworthy, in my opinion, um, and not really connected to a proper legal process, especially if it's a military process. well, i understand people can change their minds very quickly and they get on the wrong side of that. and that's i decided to pause and one day, i don't know, how does he know that couple of weeks later something else isn't going to happen in the media? which means actually we, we didn't really mean that i'm, you know, i will just give you something to say, so just cheat business. yeah. oh, as we know we can, it's really opened our eyes to us will crimes in
9:14 pm
a rock and us dentist on the 1000000 dollar question is why didn't the western world enter into illegal possibly getting the u. s. over these claims, instead of going off to the messenger songs as well, the us calls the shots all around the world. i think it's not his own for you see all these things going on and i can see what we've profit site. like some of the ministers we've had them use a over the years. i mean, how, how long is this been going on 10 plus years. we've had different ministers with different personalities from different policies, and they pretty much say the same thing. so obviously there's a lot of different magic. what's going on behind the scenes in the us space, very close shots, and we have this crazy situation of new trying to take care of. so we have a, an extradition treaty that's only one way. it's completely not stop scopes, change, a number of other things, but i think people need to be in line to talk about how these things work. and the fact that a lot of the time we spent sessions while you might change from left to right or in
9:15 pm
the us, some u. k. the stuff going on behind the scenes, but the services is reading and i guess something seems to be getting worse and they're still calling the shots. and what i can say to boil many thanks for speaking to us, they're really appreciate your time. appreciate you staying up late for us as well . we've been talking to charlie board independent journalist on comments i used to thank you. thanks would you supplies the other phones comes off to a global use, long campaign say secure, his freedom, protest is of no laptop regularly taken to the streets to decline what they call the prosecution of journalism for tooth. and now to try to stop the whistle. blowers extradition to the us or sees steve sweeney high school. now it's been a very long emotional, but join us 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 campaign is active a send. what all, shaving really this sense of disbelief now?
9:16 pm
you know, we've spent the last 14 years in the pouring rain outside belmont springs and we've attended protests and ronnie's handed out leaflets. we've issued petitions coding for the songs to be released. we've even attended both the policies of waiting set of ration. so today's news is oversee explain the welcome c duty 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 overriding view is that 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. and now we understand in my discussions over night that julian has agreed
9:17 pm
a plea deal. he's expected to receive a suspended sentence off the pleading guilty to less of felony charges. of course, the united states wanted the extra, the item to face charges under the espionage got, with at least a $170.00 is potentially behind balls. now, i've attended many cold cases over the years as many as those julian didn't attend either due to his physical states or otherwise, a nitty old of them were false. it go now. the last time i was in london, i spoke to set up a song studio, his wife, and she told me that she feared for his life. she said that every time she goes to visit him, she says that it is going to be the last. she cited his pool uh the physical house . his mental health was incredibly pool and she said she believed that he could commit suicide. now this was really cool. of his appeared against his expedition to the united states, and this is lawyers, his legal team,
9:18 pm
all good that washington couldn't offer any guarantees to his safety. now this is something that was also occurred 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 uh 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 visited it. and he said that this was a deliberate attack by the forces of imperialism against judah. and now again of the last head in the united states, post a key to the said, we can guarantee a judy of 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 case. now in 2021 a. y'all who used investigation uncovered an alleged port to assassinate queued in
9:19 pm
the psalms on the streets of london. they came out with all sorts of fun, simple. so now this 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 course? this was huge. use that or again, we discussed this and she said, well, how could a state the costs to move to judy and really h allstate, with his safety now taking this shouldn't be huge. means a lot to kill a world's most famous doing this on the streets of the 1st is profitable. but again, i covered it in my use paypal. i work for the time and the other, the other. tell me the story was the bbc ready to go to the, to the somali service, now a guy and i said, i've spent years covering the song pace of us the years writing about it. what is more than the uh, within my own union, the national union of gen the size, but he is really trying to get funding for so and it was hardly ever met with
9:20 pm
a lukewarm response. there was some vague statements, but there was never any attempt to mobilize members, for example, the last co and i, i tended they would know and you type on this. i was no message sent out for people to attend and show their soldiers, obviously, and support for judy and i spoke to many of the people that attended not having that come from abroad, from companies in europe and elsewhere. and they were cost rating. this lack of support and solidarity from inside britain, not just from the national union of goodness the they saw to the lack of attendance from labor party members, an act of a sudden all the trade union is because they thought that this was a you know, the what was most important case one around uh, press freedom. now of course, assange posed a threat to the establishment of we've seen, oversee 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, and again myself,
9:21 pm
that our lawyers, comp, titles and others, we have worked very hard to pressure the press freedom on the gymnast unions to actually recognize judy in states as, as a journalist and also whistleblower. and this took a many, many years before they've reached the reach that the officer day of fi, retail, se nairobi, the nation is president william router has to live and address claiming the radical elements of hijacks. the process is not in florida or even can see that criminals pretending to be peaceful protest. this can bring tara against the people, the elected representatives on the institutions to publish on the institution and expect to go for free. we must isolate crime from democratic expression on separate criminals from people exercising the freedom of expression
9:22 pm
9:23 pm
the 3rd to of homo. but yeah, i'll be more talk on those data. didn't keep it the like, put it like, well here i see it on the but a while. we think that there's 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 before the 20th or 15 in the car to well. so it would, you would have to do model, but i meant i need to do that with you today. the body to the right. not too good for the default. and so you do need to reach us. it's most is do i believe to remove records of we're not, but the roads that we don't, we are that are be closed. that there was a claim that we did. these are people to be dropped off into time that you must pay . why does retros, amelia, why in the
9:24 pm
into autonomy to the end of the month with the people on the, on the plane up the to protest as, as stones. but can you in parliament time said nairobi sitting, hold on fire, reports of claims that up to 13 people have been killed and dozens more injured in riots across the country. all seasonal v. a con gave brings us this report with the latest smell. the protest is overpowered to police, who had the barricade to 6 is of the 2 who, one of the ministry so occupied by tens of thousands of opinions. it came out to, to press the low me cuz in parliament to withdrawal the bull. you'd remember that earlier this morning, protest as we're attempting to access parliament to the have a full see a way into parliament to just shortly after that bill was cost. this is also we offices,
9:25 pm
blocked axis and with the low make has debated and decided on the sign is full. but unfortunately, that has led to several. also those protest as being sought to a did as a protest which began last week as really an absolute to cool to present, going to move towards the government's off god, but couldn't indeed a said over the weekend that she was prepared to talk to the protest as well praising the protest as for the a peaceful action. i am very proud of our young people. they have stepped forward, tre, bliss. they have stepped forward, piece for, and i want to tell them we're going to engage with them. we're going to have a conversation so that together we can build a great uh, mission that was with did not make the situation any better. in fact, it said that this is the 1st time in the history of kenya that purchased as a broken beer is an access inside the parliament despite to have the security
9:26 pm
internees. and just because we know that to be in the, off of this purchased use the item if so, that's because outspoken for the tuition and leader of the economy, freedom fighters to this med, lima, has expressed support for kenya's and to find his full trans between the 4 in a very strongly worded statement. my name i has face that it is time for kenya to resist the influence of the i am if and the whole bad for me, she has accused of pocket straight to the drafting off the boat. this is therefore part of the 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 as the from that his thoughts or stands instead of directly with the people of kenya, describing the full proposal as exploits, it says kenya is not the only one. most countries in africa facing an acute cost of
9:27 pm
living prices and rises date to the amount of african countries are forced to spend 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 go see $21.00 by one basis as if the fault is full day is and the people who end up pay the price of all of this tend to be those who have the lease and matches even made was by the fact that african countries will have very little say in decision making, the will bend as the i am, if i the was the i am, if and these are the international institutions, are the enemies of progress, almost every developing countries, the world we discuss the issue with a national executive member, often those on the can ruling policy and he said the policies of west to institutions live the on the notes, helping countries in africa, a breeze,
9:28 pm
kansas big guns is obviously because the lines of control these international institutions. and in this situation, a specific situation of kenya, i would say, actually in most of the kind of forgetting countries on the developed countries. we have a situation where these institutions come in and today preach a better and better mental improvement of lies. we service fully policies that do not exactly help those communities and the people in the country are not always consulted. i mean, this is this decisions on the aging and the discussed over the country. so the main, mainly the government would take decisions and the government's owners and the pressure from these institutions. they've taken the decisions. and now the people todd wenzel has to pay for it. so it's very, very hard for,
9:29 pm
for them to accept. and these, these models are for, and this has to change. i mean, obviously we've seen some mozambique and independence from portugal. we so obviously the british empire collapse needs the african continent. we saw a belgian, we saw front fronts increasingly on. welcome on the african continent. how would you assess the influence nowadays in 2020 full of western countries? not just all the show moves. i'm beat, but most of the continent as a whole is to very days different theme. frances do very big because we, it's the specific day mozambique we achieve the independence. it goes, please go to independence. we do not have an economic independence and we're still striving and fighting to get taken on the independent. and because that's we see that's very big influence from all these ex colonies. and through these additions i called bank i'm asked and all of others solutions that pledge that
9:30 pm
support and help for the full for the country. but instead, those, those, the, that's how that comes a comes, is entering the form of loans and increases that, that the countries has to, to do international community. ugly themes on the streets of new caledonia as protests fled once again to the french overseas territory. this latest on russ response by the rest of a number of pro independence activists on the pacific islands. they've been sent to france. also, you contribute to rachel most and has the story. there is more trouble now in the french overseas territory of new caledonia as 7, an accused pro independence actor. this organizes of unrest that took place back in may, who had been taken into custody were been sent to the other side of the world to mainland france.
