credible cost in your first program where i've seen our teaser reportage on the attacks on wiki leaks for a number of meetings and that reportage has generally been quite supportive when we were looking what international protocol we wish to partner with as opposed to be there for the programs we look to see what was the penetration into the states. and he had higher penetration in our states and up to zero for t.v. series the reading from his start but the b.b.c. has a direct mail slot relative to what's not so we didn't consider that the police and it would be appropriate probably see a means to provide this kind of alternative to those ads by the international mainstream channels is your choice of party as a platform for your interview show your kind of response to mainstream media oh it is the reason the response seems that a lot of the things that we've been trying to report have not been carried accurately in the mainstream press there are many many fine exceptions but when we look at international networks there's really only two that we're speaking about in regard to the audie

next wiki leaks founder julian assange discusses the decision to launch his own show and how he believes his predicament in britain helped him make his choice. why did you decide to do your own shadow and become a t.v. host for those two reasons. first of all being under house arrest was sort of warm and it's nice to have an occasional visitor and you know to learn more about the world and given the conversations we were having a quite interesting in order to show other people what's going on that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given a lot of interviews before and it's been on the receiving end of very aggressive styles i found that i wasn't giving much of my writing in these interviews and all that pretty quickly wouldn't he just keeps sort of standard bits in france for instance so people don't take risk of senator from texas and i want to have a different sort of approach with other people and why that approach has been difficult in some ways i think it is also a success you don't know the ways and that really the old sides of very interesting and important pe

of weight is almost over wiki leaks sons comes to our t.v. early next week his new show will feature interviews with powerful people from around the world as a correspondent with experience. the first episode of the show will be broadcast on tuesday april seventeenth so that this chews day coming and we and julian together are really hoping this is going to be an exclusive new show i can't tell you the name of the first guest you'll have to chew name yourselves to find that out on tuesday but i can tell you that they are all opinion formers some of them this isn't and some of them have never been interviewed before on english language television the first guest is particularly controversial and according to julian in the wake of the interview highly charismatic so do you find out what that's all about i met with him recently and i talked all about the show how he chose his guests why he decided to do it and of course he spent a lot of time sitting on the other side of the interview as desk and he told me a bit about his disenchantment really

bank accounts were first frozen so that has made funding for wiki leaks very difficult. and threatening that whistle blowing organization all together and really that's what makes this program so unique the fact that it was conceived of thought of while a soldier is virtually living under house arrest here in britain awaiting this verdict on his extradition because two reasons first of all being on the house arrest for some it's nice to have an occasional visitor and to talk more about the world and. the conversations we were having the court has to work out what works for the people what is going on that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given a lot of this before and have been on the receiving end of a very aggressive. i felt i wasn't getting much from him. but pretty quickly. from it's a principle. absolutely zero point six and i want to have a different sort of proportion of the people. which has been to people from somebody so i think it was also a success and it's one of the side it's all very interesting and important people. because they're

well considering the wiki leaks in the documents that they put out there have really only harmed the egos of american officials it's little wonder the government would try to hide this damage assessment now fortunately for manning the judge presiding over the case denise lindh rule that the prosecution must turn over three damage assessment reports by the state department the defense department and the cia how it's going to affect the case we're going to know more later though the state department is of course challenging his ruling but it's hardly surprising that the government would take pains to can feel these kind of reports we spoke about the massive overclassification it's occurred post nine eleven and of course the obama administration's war on a whistleblowers who want to expose that overclassification which includes numerous cases not just out of bradley manning but sometimes we even see the government try to hush people that put together an classified material take for example the tenet colonel daniel davis he's another case of a skunk at a picnic in the words of senator gr

wiki leaks founder julian that still is his exclusive new show is to be broadcast here on r t today choose day i can't tell you who the first guest is you just have to cheat and find out what i can tell you is that they are all opinion all through this twelve states series there are some distance and there are some who have very rarely been interviewed to network television the first guest is particularly controversial and according to you know when i speak to him highly charismatic now i want to talk to. the head of the broadcast of the program the secretly casing where he filmed we told all about the show how he chose the guests because he spends a lot of time himself in the interview with guests he talks about his disenchantment with mainstream media and why he chose in our team to broadcast this show and also why he feels that he's in a unique position to make an interview show that's what he had to say. the majority of. that work. is not just because. it's because my thought i would be someone who. so i want something. good so why are you. pulling out. i'm doing with me. ok i understa

before first aired our lawrence smith talked to the wiki leaks founder about what drove him to launch this program on our channel. why did you decide to do your own show become a. there's two reasons first of all being on the house arrest for sort of no it's nice to have an occasional visitor and you know to learn more about the world and given the conversations we were having a quite interesting thought up there with some of the people what was going on that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given them more than two years before i did it they don't really see being a lot of very aggressive mistrials i found that i wasn't getting much more audience and to be. pretty quickly people weren't just keeps in a sort of standard defensive response and so on so people could take them sit it out of context and i want to have a different sort of proportion of the people and why that approach has been difficult and sometimes i think it's also succeed i don't know the ways and it's very very sides are very interesting and important thing for them that are not normal you don't

political cost in your first program we have seen are these reported on the attacks on wiki leaks for a number of years and that report has been quite supportive when we were looking what international broadcaster which department as opposed to the proposals we look to see what was the penetration into the states. had higher penetration in the united states go to zero for a piece of news that really thinks that the b.b.c. has been actively hostile but it's not so we didn't consider the. problem he aims to provide this kind of alternative. by the international mainstream channels is your choice of r.t.s. the platform for your interview show your kind of response to mainstream media. it is the reason for the response seemingly through a lot of the things that we have been trying to report have not been carried accurately in the mainstream press there are many many fine exceptions but when we look at international but it works there's really only little speaking about iraq you know if there. are some but. it's far as we are concerned. considering their own direction we're going to know t

well the wait is almost over by wiki leaks founder julian epstein was his exclusive new show is to be broadcast here on all t.v. today she was day i can tell you the first guest is you just have to choose and point out what i can tell you is not all opinion all through this twelve back to say series there are some distance and there are dumb who have very rarely been interviewed to network television the first guest is particularly controversial and according to you know when i speak to him charismatic now i want to talk to. a head of the broadcast of the program how to secretly casing where he films the show we told all about the show how he chose the guests because he spends a lot of time. of the interview with death he talks about his disenchantment with mainstream media and why he chose in our t.v. to broadcast this show and also why he feels that he's in a unique position to make an interview show let's hear what he had to say. the majority of. the work. is not something. that's because my thought i wouldn't work for someone who has been to me. so i want to. play. situations so w

bank accounts were first frozen so that has made funding for wiki leaks very difficult. and threatening that whistle blowing organization all together and really that's what makes this program so unique the fact that it was conceived off store shelves while songs was virtually living under house arrest here in britain awaiting this verdict on his extradition there's two reasons first of all being on the house arrest of someone it's nice to have an occasional visitor. and to learn more about the world and. the conversations we were having a pretty interesting month for the people what was going on and that's what we're going to the second reason is that as someone who's going to look at me before i'm going to be on the receiving end of a very great. roles i found that i wasn't getting much from working people pretty quickly. you just have to keep some sort of principle response so people. have a context but i want to have a different sort of approach from other people and why that approach has been difficult and sometimes i think it's also succeeding and so you know we ha

these to me seem to be abuses of the word freedom in the work that we do the work that wiki leaks does we. pushing forward snowbound use of a certain type of liberty we say protected by the first amendment that is the liberty. to reveal the truth about the world or take a story or record from interference and so on sounds like some very controversial topics and of course laura asuncion of self a controversial figure is of course just on the reactions of the first episode it seems real or love him or you hate him that's right and i think because he is a controversial character the reaction from viewers and from the twitter space certainly has been quite positive there's been a lot of excitement of c.s.i. it's very famous he's now become a legend in some people's eyes and of course he is inextricably from his work with wiki leaks and people see him as a character to be admired for that however in the mainstream media there has been a real backlash if the masses in some places to a smear campaign personally attacked or injured innocence particularly from the new york times and the guardia

to day is actually two years since wiki leaks released released released collateral murder video. right. and i mean just think about it in the last two years everything that's happened this week i was out at press conference when that video was released and i have to say personally that video and sort of what's happened since with the carson ration solitary confinement of bradley manning that has really changed me and the way i view the media the way wiki leaks is now thought of the way julia saunders now thought of this was a big deal this was the job that the press should have been doing certainly this was classified stuff that the press normal press would have normally gotten their hands on but for me i mean two years a lot has changed and a lot of it has been a result of this video being released and what's happened the way a lot of people especially outside the country sarah justice see i agree and i disagree because i think it's made a huge impact in terms of the way that people like you things and the way that people that are analysts and other discerning and maybe that are

leaks and it appears that none has been proven right now only with that the bunk the claims of wiki leaks you trackers and the government but manning's lawyers say that it is crucial to their client's defense they also intend to argue that manning had no intent to aid the enemy and they're filing a separate motion to dismiss the charge let's not forget that the enemy here according to the government is al qaeda associated forces and they were aided because this material found its way to the internet very dubious way of going about charging someone if you ask me and it's something they can also put journalists in jeopardy not to mention with no proven damage to national security it's kind of hard to prove that manning aided the enemy but government prosecutors have contended that the report has no bearing on this case it's an argument it seems pretty shallow and completely ridiculous when you look at the charges and what high ranking officials have publicly said on the issue. united states strongly condemns the illegal disclosure of classified information it puts peoples lives in danger th

are routinely treated as criminals or undesirables more pretrial hearings in the case of alleged wiki leaks or bradley manning kicked off today at fort meade in maryland and hearings are expected to last three days and will center around the defense's motions to dismiss this case either entirely or at least to try to get some of the charges against manning dropped he despite his lengthy detention manning's lawyers said that military prosecutors had failed to turn over exculpatory evidence in the discovery process that is grounds to dismiss the case entirely so that motion was filed last month of made public only last week and a blast the prosecution claiming that its abdicated wholesale its discovery obligations of a document at the heart of this is no small matter either it assesses the alleged damage done to national security by the leaks and it appears that none has been proven right now only with that the bunker the claims of wiki leaks you tractors and the government but manning's lawyers say that it is crucial to their client's defense they also intend to argue that manning had to aid

now you going to use any new wiki leaks thanks for this project we have actually used it for some of the question for something. but if it is not in general. it's we're not using this sort of presenting which we thought of a rotation of this. information you have is quite interesting i know any of your guests directly links to whitney's information on this yes there's a new we all think it's partly in their own right and remarkable to what extent did the restricting of your freedom of movement kind of into fare in the making of the programs well the restriction my freedom of movement is what caused the programs. neary now i mean are a four hundred sixty days detained without charge and we used to go around the world from place to place where the greatest political dynamics were where we could be at most this is them. and so it's quite isolating to be present and stuck out in the countryside under those conditions or so this all began as a way of bringing people to me so we could understand what was actually happening in the world because we need to understand the point of writing whi
