and did julian assange consider... ?should be said, the dod, when they prosecuted chelsea manning, who was the source for this, never actually decided to present evidence saying that the careless redactions, which i condemned and which others condemned, they said they put people at risk, and i believed that. they never actually suggested anyone had actually come to harm, let alone been killed. dod being the department of defence. yes. and these documents that revealed thousands of real deaths. and can ijust ask? you were clearly a journalist. did julian assange view himself as a journalist or an activist, or how did you read that? i think at different moments, assange would frame himself as what fitted best at the time, either for his image or his convenience. he was a journalist when he thought that would give him protections. he was an activist at other times. he sort of sometimes would talk about transparency as the goal, but he would also say, actually, it was about countering an imperialist project. and so... and tr

john curiosity, welcome to the west of lower the . 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 the julian assange case has been a difficult legal, political, and humanitarian odyssey for nearly 14 years. julian and wiki leaks were responsible for revealing major war crimes committed by members of the us military, including something that became known infamously as the collateral murder video. and it showed american helicopter gunship is opening fire and murdering and rocky civilians, including several employees of the reuters news agency. what made official washington very, very angry though, was the fact that wiki leaks also released tens of thousands of pages of american diplomatic cables. cables that while not revealing any sources and methods, as the intelligence community is fond of saying, none the less cause the state department, a great deal of embarrassment of the american government then sought to have julian arrested on what turned out to be trumped up sexual assault. charges causing him to seek asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london where he remained for years. but the americans were relentless. after wiri

friends is something that i think all of us are very pleased to see you meant to that. julian's wife stella assange, released the statement to the public, asking for privacy and for understanding as, as julian react with mates to freedom and really gets to know his sons. and who can blame or ask you please to give us space to give us privacy. to find our place to let our family be a family before he can speak again at a time of his choosing. what do you think comes next for him? after that i have to assume that travels out of the question. he's already banned from the 5 ice countries, the u. s. u. k. canada new zealand for the next 25 years. what do you expect him to do now that he's most really a? well, i don't know what he will be doing. i think that what most of us would just like for him to we would like for him to do is to rest, recuperate, recover from this unbelievably long and difficult side of it. it's not just the 5 years in belmore, obviously there were the many years in the embassy and frankly, has been in some form of illegal and arbitrary confinement for over a decade, 14 years or so.

if it's to save julian assange, i know phones buying all those thousands of people tens of thousands through rain and chime outside those court rooms. but you didn't think it was a sign of julian's mental mental problems that he was. so hopefully this was another because he had a really bad medical problems in britain's suplex prison. as far as i understand that roger waters is being on the show. i mean, he was shocked and we could see him visibly shopped on pill. joe was shot so many times after seeing your brother. yeah, it was hot breaking going and seeing him inside the inside the prison option. a cell neighbor committed suicide while he was there. yes, one of his friends, a brazilian man committed suicide, but there's regularly depths inside the prison. he, the inmates is keeping company with the sort of the worst of the was murder is all thoughts of those sorts of prisoners. and those are the people he keeps company with. he was an a 2 by 3 made a cell, but in 2019 with no snow. so the you in special repertoire and torture, went to see him and took those 2 independent doctors. t

and finally, this past week, just as the biden administration ended, it's persecution of julian assange and american journalist and went on trial in russia. evan goose give it your correspondent for the wall street journal was based in moscow when russia invaded ukraine. he was arrested in march of last year and has been accused without any apparent evidence of spying for the c i a the white house and u. s. news outlets have champions this case demanding the reporter's release. but most of those same news organizations had relatively little to say about the 12 years the american spent pursuing julian a search, which is why the biden administration has roughly 0 credibility on the gross good. which case. and that's the problem. when you prosecute a journalist at home, then try to defend one jail in another country. you've lost the moral authority to do so. we'll see you next time. here at the listing post. french lawyer, 6 justice for a combat entry, a sentence to death in the rock for his alleged involvement. and i so despite the challenges of his controversial case, he's determined to

let's start with the julian assange story, because the founder of wikileaks has walked free from a ustle. he's now back in australia.

and the people of the regent julian assange has finally been freed from prison. he's back home in australia with family and friends. however, the case against the wiki leaks founder still has some scary implications for journalist the world over joanna, who is here with me on thursday to reading assange was met with an emotional welcome my family and supporters in australia, his own country. after he reached a key deal with the us authorities, sanchez homecoming followed a hearing at a us federal court on the island dock. $500.00 in the south pacific location of funds insisted on since he refused to set foot on the us mainland. he pleaded guilty to just one of the 18 towns he had been charged with in exchange for 62 months sentence. but because he had already spent 5 years in the u. k. prison, that meant assange was free to go. it's the end of a 12 year ordeal. after taking asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london in 2012, he was forcibly removed in 2019 and drilled into your case, highest security prison. through this he sold to avoid extradition to the united

never talks about the things he let under the go under the carpet absolutely correct as well as julian assange uh whom he conspired. to be extradited on what turned out to be false charges uh of sexual uh malfisence and and criminality to sweden, but it was all a plot, she could then be further extradited back to the united states for trial on espinage charges, but you're right, everything you said there, kier starmer's record uh is so thread bear on these issues charles that... uh the directorate of public prosecutions that he once headed has deleted and lost uh much of the email traffic uh that would have uh nailed them on some of these things that's the uh what i mean when i talk about all these things institutions these uh traditions they're all lipstick a pick whenever uh it's necessary the files go missing the emails. get deleted and and recourse to all kinds of jiggery pokery is taken to avoid being held to account, but what you describe, charles, is the presence of evil in the world. i always say that shatan, satan, the devil exists and evidence for his existence is in every evil act,

the challenge with things, but let's understand j buying the i think the bills name and the the julian assange is free, is free and he's home in australia with his family. i'm not sure that any of us ever really thought we'd be able to save that, at least, not this year, but it's all over. and the free agreement, the julian signed in which he admitted to one count of conspiracy to collect and disseminate national defense information is not at all or will give you the details of this rate and long sought victory for transparency. john curiosity, welcome to the west of loading the . 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 the julian assigns case has been a difficult legal, political, and.

investigative journalist, currently working for ilfato quotidiano. back in 2009 she began working with julian assange in wikileaks, she worked on um lot of uh wikileaks secret documents detailing cia foreign meddling in in a lot of countries, european countries, ums in iraq and afghanistan, and and and along this she's been fighting for for years to get access to government files in sweden, in australia, in britain and america uh that that are about wikileaks and and julie nassange and among other things the stephania. also helped glenn grwald with his book, the top secret files leaked by edward snowden uh concerning italy. stefani, it's great to speak with you and i could make the introduction lot longer, but thank you for your tireless work and for coming on the show. thank you for having me, richard, and you know it is, we are very happy that for the first time we talk many times about this case, and for the first time julian is free, i i'm overwhelmed to be here with you to comment as is free. work free to meet friends, it's free to stay with his family, with stella, their kids, i can't believe i

belarus are good examples of this policy, the only one who had the courage to challenge the usa is julian assangens who twist the facts and rules of the game as they want, you see, setting rules is one thing, but respecting the rights of others is something completely different, and the united states does not take this into account. forms are now actively spoken in brazil, the changes that president lula initiated should bear fruit in many areas. in 10 years, brazil has had four heads of state. there is no need for us to impose the opinion of the collective west. the word sanctions also causes irritation in brazilian business circles. our mbrier aircraft spare parts the country actively purchased, and the same rut fertilizers were supplied back. to understand, a fifth of our potash exports went on the other side of. interfere with trade between countries, if we say brazil always opposes sanctions, they are about the usa and the eu, the usa is trying to play the role of a world sheriff who wants to control everything, but we do not agree with this approach. brazil also opposes sanctions pressure o

we continue, big news, trial of wikileaks founder julian assange completed the deal.le charge, namely conspiracy to obtain and disclose information to national defense, but all this, of course, is a screen, asandzha was kept behind bars for an inconvenient truth, for completely reliable information about us war crimes, andrey, where does such humanism come from when they want to show off before the elections or what, when you a deal is happening, well, you also have to give something in return, so he was in prison, so... there is an initiative by biden usa, in order, well , maybe to increase his rating a little, so that look, he generously forgave him. why is this so, well, because the republicans have always been very, very against any kind of deals there. in terms of some new information, here he is , when he has already become completely useless , he is released, but again to british jurisdiction, australia is, let’s say, a former dominion and a british one, he is not leaving for the usa, therefore, the british still leave it as... a growing political headache for

terrorism of the united states or 14 years of prosecution of torture against a journalist like julian assangee crime was to expose u.s. war crimes in iraq or nato war crimes in afghanistan or even, according to the well-known brown university in the united states, that in the last 20 years, the wars of the united states and their allies killed more than 4.5 million people? and it will look to gaza, which is unconditionally supported by the united states and nato, and especially, for example, from germany, we see it is hypocrisy to talk about human rights of their complicit to all the crimes done by the israeli government. i mean, killing 15,000 children in gaza, cannot justify that with the legitimate right of self-defense but this war was more than 15,000 dead children is not an act of self-defense anymore. the nato is complicit to this war, so do you have this great move and i think was about time on the 75th anniversary to do a reckoning with all this crime. amy: one of the summit's crucial goals is to offer ukraine and irreversible path to nato membership. of course, ukraine president zel

i actually i understand what julian assange, but i don't believe, having been involved in republican politics and in the trump campaign through the past, that there is a move to the center. i actually think what trump was trying do was always in the center of american politics. it was just so distorted by the mainstream media and many around him, including the never-trump republican base, who wanted to defeat him. what i think is actually happened is a lot of those forces have been stripped away and you're seeing the real donald trump in terms of policy. what he is saying, he was saying in 2016, he was never extreme and especially on foreign and defense policy. and that's now coming out. so i think it will help in the in the vast midwest and many those flyover states because those voters care about jobs. they believe that there are guns versus butter trade offs that need to be made. this is not centrist or conservative. it's just kind of practical politics. and i saw trump as a kind of political realist, always, but we couldn't see it, given the dynamics around him for many years. >>

the only one who had the courage to challenge the united states is julian assange, who confirmed withg, but respecting the rights of others is quite another. and the usa does not take this into account. i i think no one. as an observer of world politics, i will say unequivocally: belarus is impossible not to notice, it has preserved and is developing healthcare, industry, government structure, you did not allow the country to be destroyed, you held it, this is a victory, this is one of the best examples that we have after the collapse of the ussr, you are resisting it is obvious to pressure that president lukashenko - and the most important thing is improving the quality of life. in brazil we have a lot of media with american money, they simply relay washington’s manuals. russia began fratricidal war for no reason. lukashenko and putin are dictators. i see the same articles about china. all undesirable countries are described by such brazilian media as being in need of democracy. these materials do not in any way reflect the real views of brazilians. our people have a different view,

julian assange. all right, nick, he doesn't -- he's not very frivolous most of the time.ious. have you seen that? >> look at what he covers. >> exactly. exactly. nick timiraos, thank you. we like having you on and getting -- i think the nick whisperer. >> yes. >> all right. >>> still to come, reaction to the president's press conference and the state of the democratic party. jay clayton, former s.e.c. chair, will be our guest. and later the latest cpi data showing overall inflation is cooling for things like auto insurance and certain food items, still running hot. national retail federation president ceo matt shay will join us to talk about the state of the consumer. we'll be right back. >> announcer: time now for today's laafc trivia question. what year did the new york stock exchange officially begin trading? the answer when "squawk box" returns. good thing i had aflac.
