the so the 14 year saga of julian hassan seems to be coming to an end. he's on his way home to australia. the international community is looking on and trying to process everything they've seen wiki leaks. the us government's reaction to it. the holding of us on the 1st and the ecuadorian embassy and then in the british prison. and now everything that is just going on in the court room, this is quite a telling moments that i will be hearing more about this in the future. i'm sure. absolutely. and we were still waiting for a statement from a song to as well. i'm so he needs some time to process everything. this test that he's been through in the past few days. he's on the slides as you say, heading to time right now. so hopefully in the coming days he'll be ready to give us a c was for now caleb really appreciate it. thank you. the se correspondent kind of open what the flights of a solid is, comes off to a global, his long campaign to secure his freedom's protest. as of no less up regularly taking to the streets to decry will say, called the prosecution

let's review what he's been through the now many of looked on and noted that julian hassan, just not a us citizen. he's not a us government official. you've never worked for the united states in any capacity . julian hassan has in australia, and this legal proceeding is essentially the united states claiming jurisdiction over the entire world. and what a jewel innocence do. he made public a number of things that were given to him by sources. he revealed us war crimes in afghanistan and iraq. he revealed all kinds of diplomatic cables that were made available to him. he also revealed that the democratic national committee was rigging its primary, essentially to prevent bernie sanders from being the nominees. uh, all the things that he revealed are things that the public in theory, according to the notions put forward by leaders of the western countries. things that the public has the right to know. now. robert kennedy junior, the nephew of us president john f kennedy. currently, an independent residential candidate. these are today's proceedings as not being a victory in this case. an

here's what was said by julian hassan. his legal counsel about the case and its implications for the us, the bill of rights, the sense of dangers, present. these prosecution without giving anyone to stand again. and again, it's one of the most powerful government lucas and we encourage everyone to continue that again. that there's been a mix reaction in the united states to today's events. we had mike pants, the former vice president and neo conservative republican saying that he's outrage to that dividing administration made this deal. he wants more penalties for julian hassan. he thinks julius on got off to easy that he's a dangerous for an actor who needs to be further out accountable. on the other hand, marjorie taylor green, a republican of the mazda and trump wing of the republican party. ah, she said that the way is on has been treated is outrages and it is not good for the united states to be known as a country that treats journal is this way for publishing information. and that's why many people see him as a compa

uh julian hassan just noticed as the a 7, a criminal this has huge impact on a journalism on a global scale. the united states, of course, was the engine of the case against the julian assign. so it's understandable that amount with health problems with the young family who had spent, you know, you know, almost 15 years, essentially imprisoned 7 years, the ecuadorian embassy, remember at, and then a bell and marsh, why security prison, anyone who knows that the, the bill of march our security prison. this is a very green place, rapists and murderers and terrorist, it's a bit as secure a place you could put anybody have journey into such as a journalist with a gentle mind. so this ed, so the dom match the brutality of the whole engine behind this one of his lawyers at outlining the reality of the deal on the impact that this deal will have going forward on, on global journalism for years. the us government has claimed that these publications do great harm. today in court of the united states government admitted that there was not a single person anywhere that they can produce that was

now this looks like it will be the conclusion of the 14 year legal battle that julian hassan space. let's review what he's been up to for the past 14 years. the now at this point many are looking on and saying that what julian hassan has been subjected to absolutely reveals the hip pocket of western leaders who talk about freedom of the press freedom of speech, but have subjected this man to such a harsh treatment that when it comes to the ecuadorian embassy bell, mars prison, a long expedition proceeding, etc. now, julia massage as the founder of wiki leaks as the person who revealed all kinds of leeks that were provided to him has gotten a lot of support over the past 14 years. here's what his spouse, as well as the founder of wiki lakes, have to say about the ongoing saga of julian assigned and his incarceration. 12 years on, i'm visiting join and a high security prison. but this, this period of our lives, i'm confident now has come to an end. and i think that by this time, next week join will be free. the cost of julia and of course, has been to deprive of 3 the for all these ye

now many look on and say that all julian hassan did is what a journalist is supposed to do. he was provided with information and he made it available to the public in the hopes of holding government officials accountable. and that by having and plead guilty and become of felon. this essentially saying that freedom of the press really no longer exists in the united states as a journalist, especially one is not even from the country, can be sent to prison or, or based felony charge, is simply for publishing information that's been provided to them. but it looks like after today's proceedings, julianna's on will return to his native australia as a free man, we're waiting to see when the final details of the court proceedings go down. but it looks like this could be the end of the 14 year legal battle. the sanchez faced many are looking on nervously holding their breath, wondering if this really will be the end of the situation that julian a sanchez space. so long people are wondering if it really will be if the government will live up to its promises. but we understand he's alr

this is a situation where the story of julian hassan and his ongoing saga continues. first . he was walled up in the ecuadorian embassy in britain. then he was released. he did a prison sentence in britain for going into the ecuadorian embassy. and then after that he was held, pending, possible extradition. now we understand he's on his way home to australia. now he's the founder of wiki leaks, which linked information that was provided to it. people provided classified information to where he leaves wiki leaks made it public. and he was, a publisher, knew himself was not a government official, and his many are pointing out. he was not a citizen of the united states. he was an australian citizen. he remains an australian citizen. and as a lawmaker in australia recently pointed out, this is the united states, basically declaring that us law applies in every corner of the world. and it, anyone who is deemed to be in violation of american laws can be arrested by the american government. the usa has global jurisdiction. here's what an australian lawmaker pointed out about the out

and it looks like this may be the end of a 14 year legal battle, the saga of julian hassan. let's review everything that's happened over the course of the last 14 years the . so with the court proceedings wrapping up, it looks like julian hassan will soon be on his way home. back to australia, we know what the sense is and that he's gotten time served. we know that he's entered his guilty plea and it appears he could soon be on his way home as a free man to australia, with many around the world watching very closely about today's events. wondering about what the implications are. after all, he did plead guilty, and at this point the us has declared the world to be it's jurisdiction, he's not in american citizen, he's not a us government official. he's an australian who ran wiki leaks, but he was forced to plead guilty to violations of the espionage act. okay, kind of money. thanks for that. we can now confirm that the code has to be the agenda and hopefully we will see a song to leave the code house and hopefully make a statement for now i can if any, thanks for the update t

now, you know, uh the united states will maintain that julian hassan just noticed as the 7 a criminal. this has huge impact on journalism, on a global scale. the united states, of course, was the engine of the case against the julian assign. so it's understandable that amount with health problems with the your family who had spent, you know, you know, almost 15 years, essentially imprisoned 7 years, the ecuadorian embassy, remember that. and then a bell, marsh fly security prism 91. who knows that the, the bell marsh, our security prison. this is a very green place, rapists murders and terrorist. it's a bit a secure place. you could put anybody have journey into such as a journalist with a gentle mind. so this is so the max, the brutality of the whole engine behind this. and let's listen to jennifer robinson and his, one of his lawyers at outlining the reality of the deal. and the impact that this deal will have gone forward on, on global germany. in order to win these freedom, joanne pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit espionage for publishing. evidence of us will crime, human rig

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 joint of 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 acts out 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

the, the, this is the, the, the news coming to lie from berlin. julian hassan lands in australia, a free man. after 5 years in prison and a link the legal buffalo, the we see leaks, founder agreed to us plead deal and allowing him to return home. also coming up, us journalist 7 gaskets on trial in russia. the wall street journal reporter stands accused of spying. he could face 20 years in prison on charges the and his paper did not. and faking it to win the war, how you cranes decoy weapons trip the russians into using up their really wants the law. i'm terry martin. good to have you with us, julian, his on his back home in australia, a free man after a play deal with us authorities is private jets, landed a camera airport where he was welcomed by his wife, stella and his father is freedom. paulo is a to our court appearance before a judge and a us pacific territory working pleaded guilty to violating americans law this march . and in to a 14 year long legal battle with the us government over leaks documents and classified military files that he published on his with you to explain to me

had been on the campaign trail and he was same on the campaign trail that he was going to pardon julian hassan. janelle, all of a sudden this happens by the way he could still pardon him because there is a pleasing to hear where he has to plead guilty to a crime. um so then we have heard from donald trump explicitly saying as of late that he would pardon julian assad's, which like you said, he absolutely can do if he were to win another term in the white house. we've also heard from r f k junior as well. saying on day one that he would give assigned to not only the pardon, but have all those charges dropped to begin with and they would ultimately be nothing to drop at that point. right. so i think, i think here in the belt way, joe biden is so wildly unpopular, losing major numbers within minority groups, left and right, losing major numbers with progressive and certainly independents and people that are somewhere in the middle. because of, as george saying, well, he said he has stance on gaza at his stance on ukraine has lost a lot of people in the middle. and i think this is a hail mary atte

as you said, no one has been convicted of the crime, said julian, hassan exposed it. was julian assigned himself, that was the one who is a woo, as chased out for a foot for so many years. there must be people in washington who are critical of this 14 year persecution. mm hm. yeah. there are voices of sanity and reason. and it's strange, many of these voices of sanity and reason, a line on other issues around american foreign policy and the oppression of freedom of speech. one in particular, marjorie taylor green, who's been very vocal in our opposition to the funding and the prolonging and the few and the other one ukraine. she came out with her views on the release of judy aside. some of the, some of the that he was and that's why many people here here in the united states, new york times for they released government information all the time. but it's only the information that the government secret, the americans what are the repercussions of this case? when it comes to freedom of speech worldwide, essentially, julian assange has been forced to bend his knee if you l

we can lease has not been we can weeks without julian hassan tried without him. they've tried to continue through that same work, but it has not been the same. does julia songs coming out of prison, make weekly leaks great again. i think it makes we can weeks greater again, you know, keep in mind go so that wiki leaks, it's not like you carry a membership card to be a member of wiki leaks and it's not just, you know, an organization based in iceland. it spread out all over the world. there are, there are people who are associated with, with the lease in 2000 and countries around the world. they have mirror servers all over the world. but you're right, they're not breaking stories like volt 7. today they're, they're not breaking stories like the collateral murder video today. but i really believe that with julian free, even if julian is not necessarily directly involved in whatever forthcoming investigations happen to take place that we can weeks will come back. also, keep in mind that wiki leaks has a great deal of money. now that money was intended, it was donat

the again julian hassan is free. that is the headline today, the founder of which he leaves set to return to his home country. well, throw you very soon. following his release from a u. k. prison on monday, a san show shop to world wide fame in 2010 is a ledge by the d. o. j to of orchestrated the biggest security breach in us military history. they say, with the aid of chelsea, mannings, and bradley manning these revelations lifted the bill on the us military, industrial complex, exposing war crimes and atrocities. investigators say that assign just actions broke laws meant to protects, instead of information and put the country's national security at risk. julian massage long maintained that he was a journalist, simply publishing classified documents that he received from a source. nevertheless, he was charged by the us unprecedentedly, under the espionage jack, sparking a fierce legal battle against extradition that now after 12 long years as finally come to an end. now as part of this proposed play deal, because

we can lease has not been weekly weeks without julian hassan try without him. they've tried to continue through that same work, but it has not been the same. does julia songs coming out of prison make weekly leaks great again. i think it makes for give weeks greater again, you know, keep in mind also that wiki leaks, it's not like you carry a membership card to be a member of wiki leaks and it's not just, you know, an organization based in iceland. it spread out all over the world. there are, there are people who are associated with, with the lease in 2000 and countries around the world. they have mirror servers all over the world. but you're right, they're not breaking stories like volt 7. today they're, they're not breaking stories like the collateral murder video today. but i really believe that with julian free, even if julian is not necessarily directly involved in whatever forthcoming investigations happened, to take place that we came weeks will come back. also keep in mind that that wiki leaks has a great deal of money. now that money was intended, it w

thanks for joining us. julian hassan has left the u. k. after agreeing to a plea deal with united states. the wiki leaks founder will appear in court in the northern marianna islands in the pacific where he is expected to plead guilty to violating us espionage law. massage was wanted for publishing classified us military files on the wiki leaks platform, which he founded in 2006. he'd been fighting expedition to the us in britain where he spent the past 5 years and a high security prison. faulty a fight for freedom is finally pots and end after julianna's sons' agreed to us. please deal people to the plane on monday found for the us, terry tray of the know the mariana islands in the pacific that will go on to return . the once fugitive to his native australia and his brother said the family was overwhelmed. i'd been speaking to him this week and just going through all the details with him and you know, a very anxious, very excited. and he's looking forward to spending time with his family and been for a been able to have the sun shine on o

and while his actions are likely to remain controversial, julian hassan supporting your legal saga is finally coming to annette. that's where vouchers, mother world news headlines. simon, nato has officially announced outgoing dodge prime minister at michael ruetta as it's next to the secretary general. he will take over from yan spelt and back on the 1st of october, some of the biggest challenges for us. i will be rushes ongoing for ukraine and on search and see over the us as future commitment to the high ones as it's coast guard chase to a chinese naval vessels from waters off one of the islands. the incident as part of what type one calls the chinese harassment that has escalated, trying to use the democratic we go from the island, does a break way province says unification is inevitable. and a damn in the us state of minnesota has been partially breached by flooding. did they lose, destroyed a power station is threatening to sweep away nearby house. some local residents were evacuated as a coffin, but water levels are expected to receive at least 13 people have been killed in tim

that is really significant because a lot of the criticism leveled against julian hassan so far as being because of the criticism, saying that he calls home to people. he put people's lives in danger by publishing under attractive defiles with people's names and information. while the us government in court today appears to back down from that central criticism, paul's mysterious arch julius also spoke as he told the colt that what he had done, he had done as a journalist. and he was expecting to be able to defend himself under the us constitution 1st amendment, which upholds freedom of persons, freedom of speech. but he said that this would be too difficult the case. and therefore he was accepting the plea. the judge accepted his what he said, gave him a sentence of time sir, and said he was a free man. she also wished him happy birthday. so next week and to julia, songs left the building. he is now in a plane on his way to australia. yeah. and this has been such a high profile case in a years long saga, really would you say it's fair to say as his lawyer claims that this has now all co

whenever you were in in knights bridge, there was police presence outside the ecuadorian embassy with julian hassan, gwen, and had a basically look for assign them soon. he was supposed to go to sweden, the allegations of rape, another station he said he wouldn't size if had tried in sweden, he was always afraid that he would then be extradited to the us. so he was hiding in the ecuadorian embassy and he had many celebrities visiting him that he had a slow is visiting him that always. also, fans of myra, supporters of he's outside on the streets. you sometimes gave appearances on the balcony. so that went on for 7 years, then the ecuadorian embassy, you basically let bridges police insight and then he went to bel most prison. and since then, since the last 5 years, he's fought against the extradition to the united states. he's always maintained that he would not got a sad trial in front of the us court. so interesting that now he has agreed to go to a use court. maybe you could argue a little bit on his own towns, but it's definitely being eventful. his time here in, in britain and he's always had

again, the legal process that julian hassan went through for years and years was excruciating and involved multiple countries ended up with him spending over 5 years in a prison in london. what. what about the future for his legal status is, is this the end of, of all of his legal troubles, or could we see more to com, a sorry, his, his council very focused, but, you know, in fact about these pieces, i thought he said, so, you know, i assigned had pleaded guilty on one charge of espionage. he had been free. there's no chance that the charges can be brought against him. and you said this is why it was a complex negotiations. it took, took many months, it, and the wins that was gained by his team with this quote hearing would be in a specific us territory, not in the mainland. united states that assigns would not be presented as a prisoner, but there will be no gag order on him. so this is, you know, a bit of an insight into the 2 and right and the complex negotiations that has gone on. now he's pretty slowly i jen robinson also related to the fact that there was a pretty smart court hearing

and while his actions are likely to remain controversial, julian hassan sporting here legal saga is finally coming to annette. dw reporter joe delroy has been following the story for us from sydney. joe, help us understand what happened in the court room today. a dramatic it into a 14 year old legal. so i gotta join assigned to these free. the court released him after accepting his guilty plea to one count under the espionage active receding and publishing state secrets. the judge said that she took into account the fact that he had been i have already said 5 years in the british legal system. and also she took into account the case of chelsea manning. now, chelsea mounting not remember was the us ami with some blow who actually gave the documents to wiki lee expense as honestly to release. now as mountain manning has her sentence to muses by president obama and the judge. so taking that into account and the fact that sanchez spent so much time in prison, that she was allowing him to walk free before he was released. he told the court what he had done. he had done so as a journalist that he

now, you know, the united states will maintain that julian hassan just noticed as the a 7, a criminal. uh, this has huge impact on journalism, on a global scale. the united states, of course, was the engine of the case against the julian assign, so it's understandable that amount with health problems with the young family who had spent you know, you know, almost 15 years, essentially imprisoned 7 years, the ecuadorian embassy, remember. and then a bell marsh. why you security prism 91 who knows that the the bell marsher security for the this is a very green place, rapists and murderers and terrorist it's a bit as secure a place you could put anybody have julia and such as a journalist. quite a gentle ok. so this did so the max, the brutality of the whole engine behind this one of his lawyers at outlining the reality of the deal and the impact that this deal will have going forward on, on global journalism for years. and us government has claimed that these publications did great harm to day in court of the united states. government admitted that there was not a single person anywhere

that is really significant because a lot of the criticism leveled against julian hassan so far as being because of the criticism, saying that he calls home to people. he put people's lives in danger by publishing henri backed into files with people's names and information. while the us government in court today appears to back down from that central criticism, ultimately service arch, julius also spoke as he told the court, the one he had done. he had done as a journalist and he was expecting to be able to defend himself under the us constitution 1st amendment, which i called freedom of person freedom of speech. but he said that this would be too difficult the case. and therefore he was accepting the plea, the judge accepted his what he said, gave him a sentence of time sir, and said he was a free man. she also wished him happy birthday. so next week and to julia songs left the building. and that was a job. all right, reporting for us from said me. now a quick look at some other stories making headlines around the world. so nato has officially announced outgoing and dodge prime minister
