julian assange, edward snowden, chelsea manning?uest: what we are seeing a lot of people are saying in government people would admit this is the logical result, because if you classify everything at the end of the day nothing is safe. this is something that works on a psychological level, right? even 50 years ago the pentagon papers case when daniel ellsberg release that classified secret history of america's involvement in vietnam. even then people in the nixon administration said too much information was given classified and it was leading people to be cynical as to whether the information was really dangerous and did have to be protected, so even 50 years ago people were saying that one reason why even then we were having these massive leaks was because too much information it was getting classified and people on the inside no longer believed it. theyheelves did not think the information was actually secret. in the case of the pentagon papers, they would have had a point. afterward ellsberg would sometimes say that nobody could p

and that was revealed by julian assange, who is, you know, should be freed. and he published the truth about what the imperialist state of america and the west and nato was doing. so the speakers are all gathering to ask to abolish nato , know it's not a peacekeeping force. it's an aggressive force. it's been pushing up against the borders of russia. and now we're getting closer to the brink of world war three . and as you know and many of your viewers might not even know, but kyiv has a kill list . ukraine kill a website called maquettes. there's three hundred and thirty seven children on the list. find some cover. is someone i talked to personally. she's fourteen years old. roger waters is on that list. igor podsednik, the director, oliver stone, these are it's sponsored by the ministry in kyiv. and 12 journalists have died and it should be taken down. so there's been a lot of war crimes, including what just happened with nord stream two and the un security council is going to have a meeting about that next week. the russian delegation has asked for sy hers

you were even one of the co founders of wiki leaks with julian assange . how did this all begin for you? when did it become a passion? so my background was originally as a journalist, i trained on one of the largest daily newspapers in australia and became a fully fledged staff reporter and then got my own beat there. and as part of that, i started to do more investigative journalism work. and i really began to understand the role of the whistleblower and its importance not only not work, but in the public interest, elements of journalism in particular. and so that's how i sort of came into this setting. and it became clear to me that whistleblowers, at least a dust age 20 some years ago, were treated very, very badly. i mean, today we're talking about the mean been being treated badly in many instances and they are. but back then, it was a case of complete ignorance and very few protections in law, very few countries, suddenly protection, even in the us, which had some of the earliest with the glory legislation, was very narrowly scoped. you know, is it,

last year, he guided argentina, the world cup title, and helped our assange. i'm out when the french league bus loaners alexia protests took home the 2022 women's award. the ceremony in paris followed a vote by fans and football personalities. ah, lin messy has gone from winning this famous trophy for the very 1st time to receiving a 7th faithful world. best male player, a war for now? no good about me were here was crazy for me. me. so are you chief my dreamed it. i had been hoping for, for so long in city. he fought off competition from his party, sanjay monte mate, and france forward killing him, pappy as well as rail madrid's champions league. winner carrion ben's emma argentina's welcome. when also mentally and else kaloni was named best men's coach, while england's triumph and the women's european championship. their 1st major honor landed serena vague. men, the female coach award, the best women's player, went to spain's alexia protests for the 2nd straight year, alexia, who, they ha ha, barcelona side when every league game last season, polish and beau

why assange why again here he is why hersh? why did others start speaking?uments are people who are ashamed ashamed of what makes them. god's government, which they cannot sleep peacefully, because their conscience does not allow, and today we need to speak precisely in their language . it is according to conscience. you know how , i don’t remember that cyclist, burn somehow, who suddenly 20 years later admitted that he had won the tour de france several times using doping. you know the question. why did he suddenly go and confess? yes, he says, and i, but i can’t live in peace, because they destroyed another conscience for this, no, so what? but he is preparing with a clear conscience to present this to the almighty more importantly. these people are hersh, that 85 years are necessary. for what? this is what his conscience does not allow him to live in peace when such injustice is happening. we need to learn to speak with these people in this language, not propagandists, not convincing them of something that they are right, but simply speaking guys a. let's

the usaa saying you've got to make an example of this guy because this guy gets off on board that assange. what about what about assigns to point 0? that's right. we need to, we need to crush these guys when you just sort of put it on on polls outs. idea for us to say do not cross us. it doesn't matter. when do you think you're right? you will lose or yeah, they said these are all things about your high grade, national security, blah, blah, stikes, blah, blah, blah, blah i. we need to learn when they sacrifice these guys because we need you team players and everyone needs to be in the same player. and we don't want people saying we are all along with actual essex. ah, well, just in case you missed the 1st 2 plugs for the program, you can watch the latest episode of the whistle blows on a channel throughout the day over in our website's r t dot com. that's all for me, peter, scott. but nicky are and will be taking you through all the latest stories as we head into the evening. thank you very much for watching. ah, at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of milit

we've already seen what the british government has done to target julian assange at the behest of the united states. what do you think these changes would do to the average britain? and just as importantly, or maybe more importantly, what would the impact be on journalism? you're a journalist, how would this impact you just going about your normal day performing your job? well, the average grid probably won't even be aware of the long, less one day. somebody decides to pick them up and charge them for publishing material on their blog for his sample. that the, it turns out to be restrictive material. maybe they decide they want a sort of a case to hang somebody on to, to send a message. but i'm, if you take together all the various charges and offences that i've described and others haven't had an opportunity to discuss it effectively allows for the criminalization of journalism generally and national security and investigative journalism. more, more specifically, this adds to the chill factor which will already exist for many people who don't want to or afraid of, of reporting on mat

want to ban party one to ban free journalism and make it illegal and way britain torches. julian assange option, you mentioned the wagner group just a moment ago. western governments have certainly had a choice words for the russian p. m. c. wagner. group are under different pretexts . of course, i do tend to stay pretty silent on scandals like this one with milburn fraud extortion, sexual harassment. i guess it is it at all surprising to you action l and course i think wagner group didn't exclusive with the with r t. so in a sense that we had both sides, isn't that what he does as regards all these allegations? i mean, who knows what the truth is between these private groups. all we do know is the amount of money circulating around ukraine, whether it be the alleged corruption of zalinski in kiev, and the how many who knows how much is mean recycled through us? weapons companies, northrop grumman, raytheon, lockheed martin, and boeing have $66000000000.00. was a congressional approval last october, 55000000000 sent in the past of 12 months. well, where is this money going? he appeared o

. >> well, just-- this is, as you know, an important-- like the wikileaks, julian assange prosecution and that's playing itself out, but there are a lot of concerns within the fourth estate about the implications of how that might resolve itself, but, yeah, i think that the idea that having a publicly available mechanisms for people to contact us securely is very different than sort of coercing someone into stealing classified information or hacking into classified data bases pan instructing them on how to do that. you know, i'm not in any way opining on the wikileaks case itself, but those are clearly different things and i don't think any of us will be taking down our, you know, our security drop links anytime soon. >> do you think there's a misperception out there? do you encounter that that people think you're soliciting and going and doing that or do you not encounter that? >> i mean, i typically don't encounter that. i look for good stories and if people want to talk to me about them, they can. >> what we are talking about this balance here and adam talked about testing news wor

the trump administration action against, i think, the most courageous journalist of our era, julian assange. so national ism is a and a very dark elixir. and, and the of iraq of course i watched it raise its head in american and and reacted by working on a long investigative piece for the nation with the reporter leila al-arian, where we interviewed 50 combat veterans from iraq who had either participated in or witnessed atrocities and and put together this book, collateral damage, which was largely ignored by the media, but received wide publicity in europe with many european newspapers running, large extracts from it. so over the last 20 years, i go back and revisit my own experiences in war. those are something i prefer not to resurrect, but i did do many interviews, people about their own wars and once again, especially after the 20 year debacle in the middle, suddenly ukraine was used quite effectively as a way to restore the the the myth of american virtue. american prowess and goodness and of course, raised the familiar bile within me. and i wrote a few columns about it i was in east

c as you know an important point of view wikileaks julian assange prosecution that's playing itself out but there are a lot of concerns about the implications of how that might rnresolve itself. i think the idea having publicly available mechanisms for people to contact us securely is different than coercing someone into stealing classified information or hacking into classified databases and instructing them on how to do that. i'm not in any way opining on that. those are clearly very different things and i don't think any of us will be taking down our secure drop in anytime soon. >> that you think there's a perceptionon>> out there that yu are going in doing that? >> i typically don't encounter that. look for good stories and people want to talk to me about it. >> nomaan and talked about teste media will make a judgment to your prospective on how they approach this in terms of balancing transparency versus the government perhaps saying if you publish this it's going to cause significant or grave harm to the united states. how do you approach this tension wherein the media you almost h

in of the money, you know, one of my top climate scientists, john, who if you if anyone, read the assange release of emails from podesta, you'll know what kind of an he is. i can guarantee you that money is going to go to friends of john podesta. well for example the white house rolled out plans for stations in the different states, alaska, minnesota they have many charging stations. but as anybody knows, are very, very cold places and battery. the batteries run down to zero in those areas. there's a reason in alaska don't have battery powered electric vehicles and even internal combustion engines. when you pull up to a grocery store, places to keep them heated because those engines freeze. right. so i think that you're seeing in a repeat of the boondoggle on renewable projects and the narrative is we're glad hydrocarbon fuels, gasoline more because it will speed the movement to these renewable fuels, wind and solar. obama tried the same thing you can speed their implementation all you want they don't work. okay. another question over here. and then we had a question here. they don't work

thank you so much for taking the time to speak to assange in a canny is eunice, have representative in syria joining us a from attack? yeah, thank you very much for your time. while stories of some astonishing rescues are coming in a 3 year old boy was found alive in common mash. the epicenter of the disaster in turkey or if kind was pulled from beneath rubble. after being tramps for nearly 2 days. while the united nations has been discussing, the humanitarian responds to these earthquakes. let's go live to kristin salumi, who was at the un briefing on syria in, in new york at the un headquarters there earlier. tell us about the impacts of war in series having on a delivery set. well, the united nations has been struggling to get aid to northwest syria even before the earthquake hit. this is an area controlled by opposition forces and there is only one route authorized by the un security council across the border from turkey into this area. that relief organizations under the un umbrella are authorized to use that the crossing point was not accessible yesterday. some good news today th

of racist, assange knee, xenophobic -- >> those three points, an addition to the political revenge, constitute modern trumpian politics. it's the pettiness, revenge, scorekeeping, and the use and the race, and baiting of identity in order to divide people up. >> what do you think speaker mccarthy, specifically, gets out of this? >> i think speaker mccarthy gets a fundraising boom, i think he gets potentially, -- trump and his base saying, i delivered on these promises. i'm a good soldier to the trumpian political base. i'm really letting the world know, that the house republican party is now being fully transformed. we're cementing the transformation. even with donald trump being, on their cementing the transformation of the republican party into a trumpian party. when that settles petty political scores. that's no longer motivated by classic, quote unquote, conservative politics of reducing a tax base, et cetera. but that this is truly just about service to their benefactor. >> or talk about speaker mccarthy, during the vote on the house floor, to make him speaker. there was this video of you
