she was taken to kuwait, and then they sent her to quantico, which was even worse. was a marine facility. that's the first thing you need to know. marines have their own thing, as it were, and i'm sure they did not like the bradley manning who came in, and they treated her very badly. first of all, she was in solitary for 11 months, and they would--made her stand at attention naked. michael: while manning was detained in a military prison, wikileaks was still holding a huge cache of files she had delivered. michael: the big media companies wanted to get their hands on whatever else assange might have. alan: on the basis of collateral murder, you thought, "well, if he's got access to that kind of material, then, of course, we would like to see more of it." michael: why do you think he decided that he would cooperate with you? alan: i can imagine there were a number of reasons jostling around in his mind, so i think it would've occurred to him that there he was on his own. i mean, he was sort of metaphorically a fugitive. he was, when we first met him, he carried all

those temperature is yep, we still have readings in the fifty's back dead into kuwait. we had all this sand and dust swirling around here. as well through q a, pushing into that eastern province at saudi. now if we go in for a closer look around the gulf states, temperatures are coming out, for example, in doha, up to $43.00 degrees. but we're gonna kick back that humidity just a bit. so we'll start to feel a bit more comfortable. ok off to pakistan. those monsoon rains are picking up once again for syn province at least eastern portions. and the prediction is for above average rainfall monsoon rain for the month of august staff to turkey. we go and temperatures in this stumble, have locked into the thirties and will continue to do so after the next several days may see the odd shower for western portions of the country. now for tropical africa, our usual pitcher here are plentiful storms, spells of rain in thunderstorms, off the ethiopian highlands moving further toward the west. southern africa, you know, not much to report plenty of sun here, but the wet and windy co
