you went to the ecuadorian embassy to try to see julian assange. what is that all about? intelligence agents have said, there is more evidence that the dnc information was downloaded to a portable drive and taken out the back door. there really is no evidence it was hacked... you really don't trust your own government, do you? because they lie to us constantly. the nation magazine, hardly a right—wing organ, it was the organisation published that study. secondarily, julian assange himself has said roger stone has not tweeted anything i have the authority said in public either in an interview or re—tweet. i spent four hours in front of a house intelligence committee where i went voluntarily and, as i told them, andi went voluntarily and, as i told them, and i see now, i know of no one who conspired with the russians i have no prior knowledge of the hacking of the dnc, i am not even sure they were hacked. the reason i went by the ecuadorian embassy, i did not ask for a meeting, that was incorrect, i dropped off a card. it is because i don't believejulian assange is a russia

ten when sweden launched a rape allegations against him two years later silence and to the ecuadorian embassy in london asking for asylum shortly after the u.k. issued an arrest warrant for the wiki leaks both for breaching bail conditions but ecuador granted him asylum in may last year sweden drops the rape investigation against his songs but he didn't leave the embassy fearing arrest by u.k. police. let's not discuss the issue further now with on get down as he is a know professor and always university of oslo mr danas good to see you thank you for joining us on r.t. so the wiki leaks lawyers have asked the court to withdraw the whirring saying it's lost its purpose something you would agree with yes indeed i've just read the routing by the judge it's typical for this kind of case it's very short it's very robust there's not much argument the judge says i don't agree with i agree with and that's really the whole reasoning and the point is that in this round the judge only looked at the very technical question of interpretation of the british doctor doing the statutes here the public interes

twelve as basically the only legal course that is currently keeping a staunch hold up in the ecuadorian embassy in london well for more on that this cross live to london now and to honest to say if i can honestly say it does this potentially mean a song will leave the embassy today. while an icky that's the big question everybody is waiting to find out the answer to as we stand here today outside the westminster magistrate's court where indeed a crucial day for the seemingly never ending julian the songe saga where a judge will in fact be ruling to decide whether or not to drop an arrest warrant made by british officials that would mean that julian the songe would be arrested upon leaving the equip dorian embassy here in london where of course he has been holed up for five and a half years now julian assange has legal team has been arguing that since the original case brought against julian assange by swedish authorities has been dropped now it's also time to drop this arrest warrant and the reason this is quite crucial is of course this is technically the last legal hurdle for julian assange t

the reason i went by the ecuadorian embassy, i did not ask for a meeting, that is incorrect, i droppede julian assange is a russian asset. i believe he is a journalist. i do not believe wikileaks is a russian front, i thank it is a news organisation. a news organisation with a better reputation for accuracy than, say, the new york times and washington post. even as we speak, donald trump's war with the top echelons of the fbi and, indeed, it seems with the most senior officials in thejustice department is continuing. absolutely, because we now have a memo... this is dangerous territory. it's not dangerous at all. yes, the fbi and the cia would not like to release a memo that which showed they used a fabricated dossier as the justification for surveillance by the state on the republican candidate for president. far worse than watergate. i guess you are giving me a very authentic view into the collective mind of the so—called alt—right. no, not at all. you don't trust, for one second, those put into the positions of highest authority in america's leading security and intelligence agencie

now you may have spent more than five years holed up inside the ecuadorian embassy in london so you don't know songs they will need to wait another week to find out whether a warrant for his arrest has been dropped but soft hearing in the u.k. was postponed until february the thirteenth an associate cannot who's been at the court has all the details it was expected today that a judge would move here outside the court behind me to potentially lift the arrest warrant put in place by british officials in connection to the initial allegations made against julian a songe by swedish officials his legal team have been saying since since those were dropped it's time to drop the arrest warrant however the judge here has decided that at this stage this would not happen quite yet so this was technically the last legal hurdle for julian assange to be able to walk outside the court or an embassy and not be arrested now there was certainly some confusion earlier on in the courtroom where the judge said that at this point she's not persuaded that the arrest warrant should be lifted and lots of journalis

hangs over his head on tuesday songe took to twitter over a square scare at the ecuadorian embassy in london apparently a package was delivered to him containing a written threat and identified white powder a police inspector at all it turned out not to be dangerous. but not all have been threats five years inside that small embassy means that julian assange has had plenty of time on his hands to entertain visiting friends and supporters. thank. you. a new and tea party is about to be launched in the u.k. with support from across the channel french m.p.'s belonging to emanuel on the march movement not only back to the idea but have reportedly been giving advice to the founders of the new british party. picks up the story. this is really a brand new political party that's about to launch in the k. its goals are quite ambitious pledging to transform british politics and reverse brigs it it wants a second referendum on it i think there's no chance of bragg's it being reversed the british people have spoken and that's an end of the matter they can bash their head against a brick wall alth
