think it's very interesting to people don't know about it because if they're not told but then bradley manning did approach major western news. outlets about the information that he had at that time and they all said no then he went to we kulaks because the major news outlets no longer perform a journalistic purpose their purpose is to maintain in further official narratives john well we knew that we saw that when the guardian which of course originally published some of the wiki leaks documents then agreed to sit down with the secret intelligence services of britain otherwise known as m i six and to destroy together in front of the officials of m i six their hard drives containing this information that act confirmed that the guardian is an m i six newspaper it's an m i six outlet a number of its journalists work for m i six and produced narratives concocted by the british government one of them writes a lot about russia i'm sure you know who i mean yeah. so it's that is the that is the truth about these newspapers and that is the reader or other media outlets and that is the reason why as you

and then clearly there's no evidence that he succeeded to actually help bradley manning anyway but it is a conspiracy charge and the other part of the conspiracy charges that assad was trying to protect chelsea landings identity that is protect his source which is something that any journalist would do so even though the government is trying to say look this is nothing to do with a journalist's right to publish information even to buy their own died but there are some real questions there about what this means for all of us if we do deal in classified information in the public interest chelsea manning was pardoned granted a different president did the pardoning i would think here that julian assange has .

>> let me be clear, julian assange, bradley manning and related people have blood on their hands. i hope the justice department throws the book at them. i'm looking forward to see them ext ext extradited back to the united states. they took our files after we were conducting operations against the taliban and al-quaida and took our operational files, the sources, the local afghans working with us, did this in iraq with us and put them all over the internet. we know that al-quaida had a specific intelligence ute any scouring through wikileaks and using that information to target not only american soldiers but the local afghans, the local iraqis and any other source that we used helping news the war on terror. so they have blood on their hands and i hope to see him go to jail a long time. >> neil: their view is particularly assange's view, he was releasing this stuff is that he wanted to expose to the world, particularly the american public, that how top military leaders were lying to them like the pentagon papers were released when officials in power were misrepresenting the severi

soldier who went by the name bradley manning. in 2010, manning was caught downloading and distributing secret military top secrets. manning gave those secrets to julian aassange and wikileaks and manning went to prison for that. assange, meanwhile, has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy since 2012. well, the ecuadorians this morning decided he would no longer be subject to their asylum protection. u.s. officials accusing aassass helping manning hack into u.s. military computers in order to obtain those secret documents. now, to be clear, publishing what manning sent him is not a crime. allegedly helping her attack those computers, definitely a crime. here's assange's lawyer in london this morning. >> i've just been with mr. assange in the police cells. he wants to thank all of his supporters for their ongoing support and he said "i told you so." >> and a thumbs up from assange inside a police bus that took him to a london jail complex. the u.s. will now work to extradite him toha virginia, whe he would standti trial in feder

that we know we watched helicopter pilots murder people down on the street with machine guns the bradley manning or chelsea manning situation and all of that julian assad brought out you know we have war criminals here in the united states now but yet you don't see one of them being prosecuted none of them george bush and dick cheney to me are war criminals they advocated torture and it was because of julian assange that we learned of all this we wouldn't have known about the torture we wouldn't know one of about the brutal murders that took place and the sad thing is assad is going to go to jail and these guys that machine gun from a helicopter all these civilians they probably got medals for it didn't they. it's one of those things that you know there's always this national security question. it always seems to come up in the right as it is you always hear them kind of hide behind well we have to go after we have to go after you know wiki leaks over national security max of the start of this quickly start with you you know is that you know is that something that's legitimate to hide behind but

defense department systems computer systems in conjunction with a young soldier in the army named bradley manning at the time who's transformed to chelsea manning since those days but that's a very different thing than publishing stolen information so he's not being charged with publishing stolen information he's being charged with computer fraud conspiracy for the hacking itself so yeah you bring up a good point i am concerned about it and people should focus on what the law is in the law is quite clear that you can't hack into classified u.s. government systems we can lease kind of cuts across the spectrum for the entire world some people on the left love them some people on the left hate him some people on the right love him some people on the on the right hate him so what i think the standard should be though is did he break the law in the united states yes or no it is clear that he did also you know richelle a point that i'd like to bring up is you know when i was about five years old i learned don't bite the hand that feeds you and so he was staying at the ecuador embassy for seven years wi

the fact that all of this is already been flushed out a long time ago in the original trial of bradley manning then now chelsea manning so again more injustice on top of injustice more of a facade of due process that we're facing again. now patrick why do you think about the timing. what triggered the rest. well it seems that the united states seems to be on a schedule if you look at. i personally do believe that this is directly connected with the the imprisonment of chelsea manning only a few weeks ago for refusing to basically rat on joining a songe or sort of give up julius songe and so the united states authorities have thrown the manning into solitary confinement for a long period of time i'm not sure if he still is but this is toward the coco or sir to sort of turn evidence for that secretive grand jury in virginia and so that i think this is what they're trying to cook up because it's going to be very difficult even if they extradite johnny saunders can be very difficult to rule against wiki leaks against julie songe on the basis of of them being a publisher of of them performing a jou

this and they're saying that effectively he stayed in touch with the chelsea manning at the time bradley manning ordered classified and secret documents and he encouraged the chelsea manning to provide to basically send as many copies of the docking to copy and why a transfer or just transfer as many documents as possible to the we can leaks for that we can leads to eventually release that now i want to make a brief pause here brief stop and we have in fact we prepared a short clip as to what those afghanistan and iraq document leaks eventually were about let's have a look. but . we're going to. be safe collect any data from the mill you know sure. wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence sort of. like a hot or cold turkey. but those revelations they had such a tremendous impact all that everybody you know those who love him and chunky and hand and those who believe him to be the ultimate villain but he really doesn't mean so much to many people and you know on the one hand he represents press freedom so this is a watershed moment isn't it absolutely i mean this is that was the thing that so

us extradition warrant issued in december 2017 which relates to allegations he conspired with bradley manningg, to dump that enormous archive of documents and videos in 2010. so it will be a short hearing we expect, you can assume julian assange will spend tonight in prison. very unlikely he will get bail. daniel, thank you. jack shepherd, the man who killed a woman in a speedboat crash on the thames, has been jailed for an extra six months forfleeing the country to avoid his trial. shepherd was convicted in his absence of the manslaughter of charlotte brown, and last night he returned to britain, after being extradited from the former soviet republic of georgia. kathryn stanczyszyn reports. charlotte brown was killed when her first date with jack shepherd ended ina first date with jack shepherd ended in a speed boat crash and tragedy. in december 2015, jack shepherd's boat was found capsized on the thames, he had taken her out to impress about the trial heard he was drunk and the boat was not say. he was found guilty of her manslaughter in her absence after fleeing the country last march. to

is basically computer hacking and he's accused of doing this as part of a conspiracy with them bradley manning now chelsea manning who clearly violated the law and she would be the principal and of course he would be an accessory to that crime and part of the conspiracy so is this a way of going after him for something which is more likely to be successful as you say there is well there is a gray area over journalism over freedom of speech.

military exposing that is more serious than the abuses and murder themselves chilled formally bradley manning was freed by a bomb but judging by the toxicity on t.v. in washington. shouldn't be too hopeful the. you never know trump is trump wiki leaks i love wiki leaks. well as we saw on thursday police forcibly removed from the ecuadorian embassy in london they came off the strip him of his ecuadorian citizenship i'm revoked his asylum which was granted almost seven years ago ecuador says this is violated the terms of his asylum in my way. or the country's former foreign minister said ricardo patino claims the current government to struck a deal. what is clear here is that moreno who is currently the president of ecuador has reached an agreement with the u.s. big greek to loans from the international monetary fund and an exchange agreed to things hand over julian assange and the process of the latin american interation. moreno has betrayed his homeland you loud british police to enter our embassy the embassy which we've been defending since two thousand and twelve it's clear that the death p

is basically computer hacking and he's accused of doing this as part of a conspiracy with then bradley manning now chelsea manning who clearly violated the law and she would be the principal and of course you would be in excess read to that crime and part of that can. so is this a way of going after him for something which is more likely to be successful as you say there is well there is a gray area over journalism over freedom of speech over these sorts of issues so you go after him for the thing which quote unquote can be perfect or can more easily be person. it's turning out to be more controversial in the u.s. than you might have thought so the a.c.l.u. and other journalistic organizations have come out strongly in his favor and said that they are very concerned about the precedent that it sets to process to prosecute him because in their view he has a member of the press and the big worry that first amendment lawyers and activists have had is that members of the press will be prosecuted for espionage or espionage related offenses. in his case however there's a real question whether or not

bradley manning at the time took and oath and disavowed and broke that oath. the left or right either one you want to champion bradley manning. the left does now who sold us out as a country and service member and then you want to hate or have all this capitol hill discouragement against assange what you would expect a journalist to do. i'm not saying what he did is right or shouldn't go to jail for encouraging or possibly helping them steal classified information. the juxtaposition is that manning has become a rock star and he had the legal responsibility to protect that information. where julian assange is an outside actor, not an american citizen. we shouldn't expect love for america from julian assange. and so if he did what he is being accused of, the maximum penalty being five year. he spent seven years in his own self-imposed imprisonment there is a political win here for president trump. the left conspiracy theory of being on the side of assange, say that's correct. you can win political points getting him to stand trial on the small charge and under c

wiki leaks apparently he stayed in touch with manning and held live conversations with chelsea bradley manning who had access to well secret information and they even give this extract from one of their conversations with manning telling a stange that after this upload that's all they really have got left to which allegedly replied curious eyes never run dry in my experience so if this is true if this sheds light as to how keen his sons was to expose america's military crimes and military wrongdoings now when it comes to the potential consequences of this he he could face up to five years in prison and when it comes to american prisons and whistleblowers and since we have chelsea manning now directly implicated in this in this case against the son we should look really no further than chelsea's own experience with america's judicial system because when she was arrested on one of the military bases and. generally thrown behind bars in the case against her eventually the un the un special rapporteur on torture publicly condemned the u.s. government and accused the u.s. government of cruel inhuma

at 22-year-old army private named bradley manning, now named chelsea manning.e got 35 years in prison. shortly after that, barack obama commuted manning's a sentence which allowed manning to leave jail decades early, and then run for political office. and strangely nobody is. instead they are furious at julian assange for printing the documents that other people stole. he wrote ben sasse who also serves in the u.s. senate. he deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. wicked? spend the rest of his life in prison? i mean people have never faced this kind of scorn. so what is going on here? a couple of things. first, julian assange published documents that undermined the documents on the iraq war. he humiliated hillary clinton by showing the democratic primaries were in fact raved. everyone in washington has reason to hate julian assange. but rather than admit that forwardly made us look like buffoons. he said we are denouncing him as, you guessed it, a russian agent. >> justice should come to julian assange for his role in russian meddling in our election

he didn't force bradley manning, chelsea manning as she now is, to give him any information. >> righted in the indictment that miss manning reached out to or had an agreement with julian assange to help try to crack a password or at least part of a password so that she could sign in under a different user name and therefore more easily facilitate the procurement of this information, do you believe that would trigger criminality? >> certainly not. because let's face it there's no suggestion that he provided any legal incentive. there's no evidence that he bribed. i guess any american journalist would give a source a cup of coffee or would help a source in one way or another. >> wouldn't help them break in to procure it. that's the material distinction. >> there is no duress. >> i don't think it has to be just duress. if you helped facilitate the hacking, i think you're in trouble under the law so that's why i'm asking you do you believe he did what is alleged? that he helped manning manipulate the password? >> i think manning was very keen to let him have the information. i don't see t

the united states, withjulian assange allegedly co—conspiring with former navy defence analyst bradley manning into those computer systems. his friends in the usa very much this was the act of a whistle—blowing journalist, not a computer haka, and he should be protected under the first amendment, which gives the right of freedom of expression. now, the department of justice may regard him as a fugitive from justice, but it is probably fairto from justice, but it is probably fair to conclude here in the white house with this president, it is a little more ambivalent. in the presidential election campaign, julian assange played an absolutely critical role, with the dub of thousands of e—mails that were deeply embarrassing to the democratic party. donald trump in the last few minutes has been asked about his arrest and he says, i know nothing about wikilea ks, about his arrest and he says, i know nothing about wikileaks, it's not my thing. in october 2016, nothing about wikileaks, it's not my thing. in october2016, he nothing about wikileaks, it's not my thing. in october 2016, he said, wikileaks
