selection of new people to the the the home out last week he looks founder, julianna's son, just takes his 1st and honest trillion. so united with his family after a grueling 14 year long legal battle. the that's after a judge accepted a plea, deal struck with the us government with which assange had little choice, but to agree. it's really a law maker. andrew wilkie slammed washington for setting and alarming and precedence on us 2 or 3. i present it was safe for the charging and conviction of a journalist for doing that job. that is

a really allow me increase to that. it's a sort of thing we'd expect you to know 3rd period to tell it harry, in country and a jo biden's, a shaky debate performance against donald trump, turns into a name calling match with both candidates. hurling insults at the other, the disability total initiative relative to what we can do with more border patrol and more side was present drugs. i really don't know what he said at the end of this is, i don't think he knows what he said. he did the live in the russian capital. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. after a 14 year long legal battle, we can look, sandra gillian. hassan returned home to us trulia, uniting with his family after striking a plea, deal with the us government. the. the,

the, the sandwiches release sparked celebrations and australia, demonstrators gathered to praise the outcome of the court hearing. and julian's return home. but it's truly in law makers are worried about the president. his case has set i will, i will flag the one allowing issue and that is today on us territory. i present it was 6 for the charging and conviction. public journalist for doing a job. that is a really alarming priesthood. it's a sort of thing we'd expect you to know 3rd period to tell it harry, in country. it is not what we would expect from the united states,

or similar country loc and stria. well, i think it seems a chill down the spine of journalists, world war that this president has been sick and it means out there is more work to do to push for lady afraid it meant protections for journalist. so they can do, they do all the they can see it's on cheer, leaving the court room a free man after 14 years of legal persecution with his saga finally over him. despite a massive sense of relief and joy over his release, the whistle blowers, lawyers, as the case has had a chilling effect with the us pursuing journalism as a crime. mister assigned to reveal the truthful, important, and news worthy information, including revealing that the united states had committed war crimes. and he has suffered tremendously interviews 5 uh for free speech,

for freedom of the press and to ensure that the american public and the world community gets fruitful and important news where the information that is full of journalists of these cited states, prosecuted that the dispos most precisely under the $75.00 centers, prison. that is what has a chilling effect today, the decision that it's time for best response to go home that does have its own choosing. the fact is the united states pursuing journalism has a fine. i think this is the 1st and last time julie and assigns is a free man now that he accepted a guilty plea and entered a guilty plea in the us federal court in the mariana island. now julia sanchez, attorney made clear that while he will comply with the requirement that he delete certain sensitive information, the work of which he leaks will continue 62 months in belmore together,

this deal with the weeks is for work will, will continue. and mr. sanchez, i have no doubt it continues for us to be transparent. say government use of course. so now in order for julian assigns to accept the plea, deal for time served no supervisor released in order to return to australia, a free man. after 14 years of a legal battle, plenty of time and a british prison, julian hassan had to formally admit guilts and, you know, plead guilty to a criminal charge violating the u. s. espionage act. this is what was said in the tense moments in the u. s. federal court house working as a joiner this time covers my source to provide information that was set to be classified in order to publish that information. i believe the 1st amendments protected that activity, but actually that it was

a violation of the espionage statute. i believe the 1st amendment and the espionage act in contradiction with the child, the but i accept the would be difficult to win so suitcase given all the circumstances. it's been 14 years so that you in a sanchez been facing off in a legal battle. and at this point, we see him on his way home after quite a bit of time, walled up in the ecuadorian embassy, quite a bit of time in british prisons along extradition battle. now around the world, many are looking on and seeing this is an example of hypocrisy on the part of us leaders who constantly lecture the world about freedom of the press, the protection of journalists, freedom of speech, etc. let's review everything that has happened to julian assigned over the course of this 14 year saga. the

. this appears to be the end of julia saunders 14 years saga, but it's not the last of wiki leaks. we are awaiting a statement from juliet us onto about what comes next. but at this point, many around the world who rallied in support of julian assigned protesting or making social media post, raising awareness, doing everything they could to highlight his case and the dangers it poses to freedom of information and journalistic protections. many people around the world are happy to see him free, though many are also worried about the implications of the guilty plea. he entered

in the us federal courthouse, american political commentator jackson hinkle spoke with my colleague, mike of quatrey. he says, assigned his case sets a precedent for anyone, exposing war mongering, being prosecuted. this is going to be a precedent that will be leveraged against real truth tellers and real, you know, anti establishment journalists in united states. and those who report on the documents of the us national defense for years into the future. and that's a, that's a very troubling for us then to begin. it's very trouble. and i think that, um, i think that there is no way that an honest, independent journalist is going to be able to do any good work in united states or reporting on the united states at any point in the future after this decision. there's no way if you work at cnn, of course, you can still do your work, but your work is going to be limited in scope because of the media that you worked for. there's not

a whole lot of truth coming from these mainstream media outlets in the us. now, some of the argue that this as much as this might be a press, no, a victory for assange, but some see that's a defeat for john lives and especially b. but he had to plead guilty to a crime to secure his release. what are your thoughts on that? so anyone who is an independent journalist, independent publisher, trying to expose the lives of the war mongering, deep state in the united states will in fact space, you know, a prosecution from the us government if they are reporting racks. us in these so called sensitive documents in the future. so in a sondors created, people like me, a whole generation of young people across the world for dedicated to exposing the lives in media that star wards. then you know he's been very clear about that. he's been very clear about the role of media in starting wars and uh, you know,

also exacerbating all the corruption in governments across the world. so i'm inspired by the work, you know, that he is led for years and the price that he's paid for it. and i think he's, you know, shown the biggest sacrifice, all that we as journalists, are we, as reporters or people that are just concerned about humanity. we must put death before this honor. he embodied that by, you know, to the fullest extent, risking his life to get the truth out there about the c, i a, about the war crimes about everyone in governments and what they're doing, their crop deck. so i in forever indebted to join us on gen his sacrifice after jo biden's, shaky performance, and the presidential debate earlier this week, that raised any questions about the us leaders ability to serve a 2nd term. democrats are now scouring candidate resumes to present voters with a different nominee. is the total initiative relative to what we can do is more

border control and more asylum of further drunk? i really don't know what he said at the end of this is who they don't think he knows what he said. either i made sure every company in the world, every pharmaceutical company can not have to pay you. and by the way, my son was not a loser, is not a sucker. you're the sucker. you're those are all of the things he's done. we've become like a 3rd world nation. and it's a shame. you're a whiner. when you lost the 1st time. i've never seen anybody like this guy. he lies. i'd never seen if he could look you in the face of that. so many other things to what this man has done is absolutely criminal. so that was the standard of debate and the rights for the white house which defended into childish name coding . but the biggest take away was biden's poor performance. this was clear for a to see, including the democrats, us asterisk, john stewart's democrats supposed to responded with

a scathing skits biden has to not look oh and not have a senior moment go, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what i have been able to do with the, with the coven, i should be with dealing with everything we have to do is, uh, what if we finally b, medicare, take you, president 5, i okay, a high pressure situation. a lot of times you can confuse saving medicare with beating it. i'm sure it's not something that repeated throughout the debate, causing democrats across the country to either jump out of windows or vomit silently into the nearest recycling bin. um, anybody can stocking the main stream media outlets, even though you've seen this probably the democrats or missing. but if i was,

it does all of a bind and now it seems his days could be numbered with even the new york times editorial board suggesting the binding should be replaced as a democratic policies. no, been a, as the president appeared on thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant, he struggled to explain what he would accomplish. in the 2nd term, he struggled to respond to mister strong's provocations. he struggled to hold mr. trump accountable for his life. his feelers and his children plans more than once. he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence. the response from making 3 major on that's install controls with what was being said by them. prior to the debates with many even defending biden's mental capacity to run the country. and they were having conversations about the president's performance, which they think was dismal, which i think will hurt other people down the party in the ticket. if you're concerned about the job by the agent, you probably don't know. nobody is actually in good shape. and now they're in

a i won't say a full fledged panic, but it's getting there is a full on panic tonight, right mentally. he's quite a cute, any aid who engages with him or reporters. we can see this. the gears of his mind are working the right way. media has to fix it on bite and inviting purportedly having talented of issues. it's not just making an issue of buttons and it's, it's lying. it's saying he's seen oil of things demanded. the dramatic youth in comes off to biden's, poor performance in the debates. and despite him coming out fighting his prospects does look good. pause show a slumping support and even his most all the boxes are struggling to justify his candidacy. previous questions about his mental and physical capacity. what dismissed as republicans, conspiracies. before the debates, the white house claimed the videos of paving to show him freezing on wondering off on his own what deliberately manipulated to undermine him. a head of the election.

washington even going to a new phrase for the footage. st sykes, there seems to be a rash the make for that up here. especially for now or use a more yes. the word yeah we and i think you all is called is the cheap fix video and that's exactly what they are. they are cheap fixed video and they are done in bad faith. but now that debates itself appears to be the biggest cheap psycho maybe even a deliberate move to justify removing him because it, democrats know, many if not fight and then to, well, the mainstream media has been discussing options including incumbent, vice president, come all the iris. but, and also want to convinced with concerns raised, but she may be no better than binding in terms of foreign policy. there's nothing that she could do externally. that would be wise. her best strategy is to

internally just be an amazing vice president. the bad news for the dams is whoever my replaced by them will still likely lag behind trump and certainly pose back. that's up a fox news of a concluded party as far as popular replace would be much good in governor gretchen wilma, in fact, most democrat voting respondents said the bye didn't put be the least favorable candidate in the box going forward. so by doing this does also is performance sees the volt just circling with a medias sudden change of heart giving the impression. but it may have been planned all alone. but even a new challenge is unlikely to overtake trump, who's popularity off the bait has risen. and could see him back in the white house, often november's votes with elections to the national assembly kicking off today. friendship president, menu micron finds himself in the top spot as his centrist alliance,

on psalms plummets in the pools. a crowd who called for simple actions himself, has been criticized by opposition for mulling, sending troops to trade and risk and further escalation or to contributor rachel marston brings us the details. and one of the things that the french initially liked about a menu item back home was that he appeared to be keen to slip into the mindset of the former french president and world war 2 general shot. the good of the mindset of france being an honest broker between east and west refusing to go all in on either account. but the writing was on the wall when the ukraine conflict went red, hot and maximum was spotted walkie around the eighty's. a palace in a dark hoodie that looked like he'd stolen it from his girlfriend, ukrainian president bly mirrors when skis passed gardener fashion collection of the, the new vill, egoism we have agreed on you deliveries on a long term basis, announcing the delivery of a 1st series on the raft, 2000 dash 5, and then this is a pilot training which will immediately begin instructing, pilots and mechanics. we also proposed and decided together that friends would

train and equip an entire ukranian army brigade as part of the effort to originate its forces. that's around $4500.00 soldiers, so we propose we decided together. that's nice. know who wasn't involved in any of that decision making as part of that we, the french people who needs effectively committing to fighting the war against russia. starting with sending in trainers. it's not like the law makers that french voters democratically elected and who are accountable to them, have never even declared war against russia. and the president is supposed to have that power. if the russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a ukrainian request, which is not the case today, we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question. i have a clear surgical objective restaurant can not win and ukraine. so teacher's pet knock hole has certainly used all the right words to charm the western level as the establishment. nato secretary general,

the end stilton for whose effectively just the chief populace s p r. guy for the western military industrial complex lobby visit the. busy so i'm on the road and thank you for your warm welcome on your kind words, and thank you also for an excellent meeting this afternoon. and let me also thank you for your store on a personal commitment to the transit time taken out and sun to nato. it has really been a great privilege at your work. so folks are with you over all these years, but say i want to so, but i want our position to be clear to formulate it and we'd be more support president microns initiative, just send instructors to ukraine. and by the way, this simply shortens the past to learning french public generosity is really wearing send at this point in light of macros attempts to effectively ease the french people into this conflict with the back of this boon. as the from saying goes 68 percent of the french don't think that he should have even

a vote. the notion of putting western troops on the table for ukraine, 74 percent of them, don't want them on the ground over there ever. that is this choice in the french election. it's teen macola versus team pretend period that that's hard insulting people's intelligence at all. it is a demonstration above all for peace against the spiral war into which mat, chrome, the european union and nato are leading us. we are tired of others deciding and speaking for us. we are the sovereign ones. we're the ones who must speak for ourselves. we have a salary, but despite the salary, we called me till needs because we are in fact moved in on dated with bills and we have almost nothing 00 money left to live on. we are in perpetual survival with blue fox. if they called me the ones that will be people who are looking for food in garbage cans, people who have housing problems, schools, i think we are entitled to them on by to, to achieve, to hope the best of the history of humanity,

the pollution of humanity people who are already financially struggling from that goal blindly following we use economically devastating demands for ukraine, asking even domestic ministries like finance and industry to cut the budget to pay for more funding and more weapons for you, for a national riley president. i was just done by the leading figure in both the european and the national campaigns for the pens party and the most likely candidate for prime minister if the party wins has at least been talking like he's thrown down a few boundaries. see that the hordes that of course, i think that this is the process of all that they should have plates to maintain these rates line between both supports and ukraine to lobbies, to hold the problems with the equipment needed and avoid doing the risk of escalation with russia, while the president of the republic goes so far as to say, we can send troops before the end of the year. we can possibly come to the serving the nuclear deterrence with all you were paying partners. i believe that's these

crossing by lines. nothing of pen herself is also a virus of warning shives over the ballot. i'm surprised at this time over what he could expect of her party wins this weekend's about. the chief of the armed forces for the president is an honorary title. since it is the prime minister who holds the purse strings? jordan has no intention of picking a fight with mister, i'm a crohn, but he has the red lines. the president will not be able to send troops to crane. so what is he saying there is that nicole maybe president, but it's the french national assembly that controls the purse strings. there's been major debate here over the past few days about how much has already been allocated, how much can be called back, and to what extent macros prior ukraine deals could be real, did. in any case, it's a reminder that elections absolutely have consequences, and this one could certainly have significant ones for francis involvement. and ukraine is really prisons are not much different from the notorious

guantanamo. and the abu ghraib, that's the assessment made by a former guantanamo prisoner commenting on pictures of detained palestinians. physical torture was really bad, but the worst was mental torture in different forms. i believe there isn't much of a difference in the torture of prisoners of palestine. guantanamo background, and abu ghraib, without a doubt, is the same process that torturing the people in the same way. i think the americans have made they send these re lease or implementing it. let's look at the profile. the former guantanamo prisoner, also do. law harun is an afghan, who was arrested by us forces in 2007 and taken to guantanamo bay prison in cuba. he was held with out charge for 15 years and released in 2022 after winning a case against the us government for illegal imprisonment. harun said that during his imprisonment he was repeatedly tortured, not one tunnel be present as

a tory us for human rights abuses. however, the spokesperson for the palestinian legislative council, who was detained by israel says, is rarely prisons are even worse than guantanamo. what is happening to the did a nice in the presence is a really masika where police students are being killed and stopped all the time. not club prison is was the other grape in guantanamo where the occupation act as games presents appealed their lives go in vain. another recent case of abuses by the idea of was captured on video with soldiers seen driving around the west bank with a wounded man lying on the hood of their car is ready for us as have agreed to investigate the incident, claiming the man was a militant to open fire at the troops, but the images have triggered strong reactions, including this one from a un human rights representative. the human shows in in action. it is flop augusta and how stayed born 76 years ago has managed to turn into national lo,

literally on his head. according to the palestinian prisoner society over 9000 westbank residents are in is really prisons. some of them women and children, a total of the total number, a 3rd of the total number of prisoners are held under administrative detention. that is without trial. they can be held for 6 months without charge of periods that can be extended, only spoke to human rights lawyers side of the armoire, who describes the situation and gaza as apartheid. what is the united states? didn't it rock what they did a lot of saw what they did it a good time to move. it is the exact repetition. it is the exact same formula that the is re. these are doing what we are currently, what the 2nd is something that has become more a better to the word. no, but it's been going on inside or flaws are palestine at east jerusalem. but the westbank for a very long time,

and that is the state of football tied up on saturday, something as we do on the production of all the apartheid demetria and rogue statute. that if a ritual equal suppressors of the racial go, there are other trivia arrest illegally to prison business measures taken on the legislative side to oppress reachable exploitation operation broke. we are witnessing all of these things. how big inside of us up and the far side was already there before october, so it took place both october 7th. we have seen that the apartheid has morphed into a sort of a general side that is taking place on the side of by this time, benjamin netanyahu, his desire to stay in power, could escalate the war in gaza into a regional complex. that's what former egyptian senior diplomat ramsey is out and told us in an exclusive interview to our t the,

the possibility exists. i don't think it's in anyone's interest to widen the conflict or even start point in the but on because if it starts on the on, it will not stand up or not. i think as well. i made it quite clear that they would not want to engage in further hostilities or escalation. the wild card, of course, is of the prime minister, not anyhow, who will probably do whatever it takes to ensure that he will remain in power for as long as possible. so once you bring that element into play, he might even go beyond what the military has been suggesting to have worked on these issues for, for decades now, and always work towards disarmament. so whenever i hear the possible use of nuclear weapons, i become extremely concerned. the only country that has nuclear weapons in the

middle east is but let's face it. and uh, israel's doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons is not very clear. it has maintained its a big with a and i think that is quite dangerous. i mean, some people are saying actually it has helped, i think, in the long term this is very detrimental. now if you're saying, if the crisis in the middle east was escalate into a nuclear war, and i assume you're talking about the nuclear weapon states, i hope not. and i don't think it will reach that point, but it is really use as nuclear weapons. i think this situation will, will be to much different it's only been 6 months. so one has to be quite realistic and assessing what has happened in 6 months. but in 6 months is already talking seriously about the

us using local currencies in trade between the various brick members, which is very important because as you know, we have difficulties in terms of our foreign exchange. so uh, and we buy a lot from russia on the issue. i think the final issue, of course, is political positioning in terms of activities that would help the transition to a month, people in the world. i think there's somebody give me lots of contacts to find minister was just here for a meeting here in russia. so there's been a lot of contact, but it's only been 6 months. but already there's a lot on the plate and i think more will be forthcoming. right. you can watch that full interview up next on our, to international by the

hello and welcome to wells of course, certain years ago, i have to tell him bloody that i'll erupt in syria for very to reign supreme killing became a spectacle for to the consumption and the international community was fiercely divided. it seemed like the worst war ever. for today, the syrians favor isn't just spending, it's recovering. rebuilding ties with former advertisers and look into the future. is such a scenario likely for the conflict in ukraine world to discuss.
