To 0. Showing us in our eyes you know one. You like. I was on the. Top call. With logic bridge right. Im an enemy of the state to out hello im richard gives birth and youre at the listening post among the media stories that were covering this week maximum Security State the case against Julian Assange and by implication modern day journalists in new delhi rioters attack reporters 1st and ask questions later questions like are you hindu or muslim journalism from behind bars in prisons across the United States inmates are reporting on a hidden world and saudi arabia finds another form of expression it cannot tolerate. A muslim woman rapping about mecca we begin with the legal fate of Julian Assange this past week saw the commencement of a court case that will determine whether Great Britain should extradite the wiki leaks founder to the United States the American Government has charged the sand for his part in the release of classified military documents and hes looking at a maximum prison term of 175 years a sanchez advocates say he has little chance of getting a fair trial in the u. S. That if sent there he could end up facing conditions amounting to torture that is one of the factors that the British Court is legally compelled to consider however the u. K. Authorities are also facing some serious questions in this case about whether a sound is getting a fair hearing and about britains own commitment to human rights and the rule of law legal experts medical specialists and the un special rapporteur on torture have all sounded the alarm over the conditions at the maximum security prison where a sanch is currently locked up our starting point this week is a lunde. If you want to be told that there was a Court Case Involving a journalist who had been jailed placed in solitary confinement held according to the United Nations torturers conditions denied proper access to their lawyers and you were asked to guess the country involved which you have guessed the united kingdom. The british like to talk about their sense of fair play Julian Assange would argue otherwise if the authorities would let him mr assad was being held in the dark at the back of the courtroom. Covered by a glass partition so he is being held in the back as if hes a violent criminal when he actually poses no physical risk to anyone regardless of what you believe about the charges against him he does not look well hes complained several times that he cannot focus properly or follow properly whats going on from behind the glass partition after the 1st day of the. He was sent back to the prison a was and cast 11 times sleeps or 2000 he was not the allowed to read the notes he was consulting during the hearing by the prison authorities and you know what its really frustrating that this is happening in plain sight where. Julian assange has physical condition was deteriorating long before he was jailed he had spent nearly 7 years cooped up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in london having been granted asylum there in 2012 when a swedish prosecutor was investigating him for Sexual Assault which essential said was an obvious ploy to extradite him to the u. S. That investigation was eventually dropped the case was flawed in too many ways to mention 10 months ago after a change of government in ecuador and the subsequent removal of his asylum sanj was dragged out of the embassy and jailed maximum security style charged with breaching his bail. Editions when he entered the embassy now washington awaits this is its extradition request is based on wiki leaks releasing confidential files exposing us war crimes and much more Julian Assange just lawyers contend the prison conditions could be the death of him a group of more than 60 doctors echoed that warning in 3 separate letters sent to the British Government those letters followed an examination of a sanch by the un special rapporteur on torture nils meltzer i came to the conclusion that Julian Assange has been exposed to psychological torture based on the medical assessments that we conducted during a 4 hour visit to him on the 9th of may 2019 jude innocent showed all the symptoms that are typical for a victim of psychological torture were talking about intense anxiety a constant state of panic that has harmed already has nervous system and his cognitive capabilities although i made an urgent appeal to change the conditions of detention of mr songe after 5 months i received a letter that basically said we reject all occasions of torture and Julian Assange is being a treated according to english law. That is not an appropriate response from a Democratic State that is transparent and committed to the rule of law now the u. K. Person the state and the torricelli not good. Im sure hes had some unpleasant conditions that we wouldnt want anyone to have i dont really think we can call that cruel and unusual punishment in this case the problem with having run once is hes not going to win anyone over by complaining hes been incarcerated prex. Tradition. Then there is what happened at the Ecuadorian Embassy accusations of american foul play that could affect the legal case awaiting a censure in the u. S. A separate court case is currently underway in spain investigating a Security Firm hired by the ecuadorians called u. C. Global as the madrid based paper has reported you see global had and his lawyers under constant video and audio surveillance and then made that material available to u. S. Intelligence agencies including the cia the company also broke into the phone Service Centers visitors at the embassy. Was one of. We were asked to leave our foreign reception and we were thought that no one would have access our phone. But. I mean just because i got the pictures of my former complete. And they got access to the car they basically went to. Operation Julian Assange and all these. Journalists are lawyers doctors youre expect this kind of. This democracy mr sanchez right to confidential conversations with his own Legal Defense was breached. The United States government which is very aggressively pursuing him on trumped up charges has had access to his Legal Defense strategy and frankly the fact that they have said that that wont be used is insufficient because they have had access to that information. Given what is at stake in the sands case the National Security angle allegations from the u. N. That britain is affectively torturing a dissident you would think british news organizations would be all over the story they are no hes going to cooperate said any of. The publicly owned b. B. C. Is just one example of that the worlds biggest news broadcaster it generates about 120 hours of radio and television output every day according to nils meltzer the b. B. C. Has interviewed him just wants and not on newsnight its flagship news and Current Affairs show or the today programme the Agenda Setting broadcast on radio for that interview appeared on b. B. C. World channel and that global audience is not part of shorts given that i came out with very serious accusation against the british authorities there is no reason no excuse for the u. K. Media not to cover it because if i am wrong i need to be exposed but if i am right then the u. K. Government needs to be exposed i have to t. V. Interviews with b. B. C. World and its going news and both of these interviews were life interview say they were once but then they were no longer accessible to the public and that i think proves. That the media is not playing its role in this case it should actually be at the top of the news agenda not just in the u. K. But in the us and internationally in europe theres much more vigorous questioning for example from german media from french media that i have seen by the british media there is a notably different Public Opinion about him in the u. K. And the. I think that in other parts of the world and that is a reflection of the coverage that has been given in this country. Just supporters and hundreds of them turned out in london last week and blame the british and american authorities for whats happened to the man from wiki leaks but they also reserve plenty of anger for the news media john. Howard breaking in to go live now to istanbul where turkish president reza type one is meeting his Party Members and holding a press conference of course this follows the killing of at least 33 turkish soldiers in a Syrian Government on thursday which is what we are waiting for response to lets listen in. On the mass media turkey is being accuse those not aware of our struggle in syria this is very unfortunate to us the situation is clear for the past 40 years has been struggling and fighting against separatists. This organization. Of its financial and economic. And all in all the salvage of the. Number of courses and we also took. We are also fighting those who are. Drawing. Undermine our strength. We have been improving at van saying. Carrying our. Informs and these reforms by the grace of god comes to have borne fruit. We have also managed to solve. Decades and decades of problems we succeeded in men taining. Our territorial integrity for over 780000 square meters we also provided here. Services basic Services Excellent and 1st structured in order to make our peoples life easy. In 2011. We laid out 2023 goals. Because we have also advantage on the economic and commercial level. Following that many attempts to undermine our efforts like that of the a part of. Our people who are aware of the plot. Our people are aware of the plug being to move in against our people stood by our side and by the grace of god we managed to solve our problems one by one there is no doubt the price was high in order to achieve these goals and some of these incidents. Caused us to stumble on the way forward however we did not fall we did not. Need we were not. Brought we were not brought to our knees. Another tempt was on the 15th of july. And at a failed. Attempt. And when those fade they tend to support the terrorists are going to a station to the south to the south of turkey. So they did all their best to undermine our march forward. More than. A space of fire 500 meters only their kill pie. In the university and their. Legs. And alcohol bottles were left behind by them and the holy places of worship we have seen and witnessed all these incidents those claimed to be patriot 2. They claim all the alleged to love their country however and unfortunately the head of the turkish our position is describing them as patriotic those radicalized young and im using life. They are. Shocked that the choli people and after that we carried out a number of military campaigns like. Brands our lives. After that we managed to break the siege. Around our posts and 3 positions we are still also in negotiations and the key players to the south and the spite all the promises given to us none was made true. With respect to it lip. Certain forces are at tempting. Too lazy to around our forces and undermine our efforts. They are many pilate things the situation in ed lived with an effort to undermine enters in and lives that are about 4000000 people who have fled. The brutal attacks by the Syrian Regime of them half a 1000000. And they go on our border line we explained in the past that we are aiming at creating a safe zone what are we doing we are driving. In a refugee camp. Trying to establish a safe zone for residential units. Brick. Residential units. In which all these refugees will be house. Here i would like to make a strange statement i spoke to the german chancellor mrs merkel look at that if it is you have. Pledged he you numbers now make these pledges come true in order to set up these theres a didnt sell units finally she said i will give you 25000000 euros so i said. See this said she will forward these funds to the red cross or the red crescent. And then we said this figure. Is under our. Oversight they said. The un commission. Will pay this amount to the red cross and then the red cross will pay these funds to the red crescent. None has happened i called merkel she said funds. Is ready i told those already funds not reaching us yesterday i spoke to her and said. We will send those refugees to you and i will not give you not. When t 5000000 but 100000000 euros. She said no i dont want to see this happening i asked her then be practical. Release the funds this is an existential struggle those refugees have very Young Children living in the open struggling in the mud in the cold starving dont you see them i asked her. You had promised on a number of occasions to provide millions of dollars in europe you also promised to provide annual pledges however none has happened thats why i can say those parties cannot be trusted and thats why and by the grace of god we are capable of doing what we wish to achieve and this is what we are doing at the moment 3400000 syrian refugees. Living on our home soil we cannot afford another influx of refugees. At the same time we cannot bandon millions others in it live under the mercy of the brutal regime this is not our ethical responsibility syria has to protect its own territory as this is what has been said to us and to them i say we. Did not enter syria with under an invitation from as. We came to heed the call of the Syrian People. And the Syrian People themselves said they are on our side and thats why we are not leaving. This is what they said to putin and i asked him what are you doing in syria if you wish to establish a military base go ahead. However. Keep away. Stay out of our way. However. The russians. Are not willing to pull out and i do not know what their interest. To see have naval base. They have another military base they have also. Military bases yesterday president trump. Told asked me what is put in asking out of syria what is he expecting to achieve. In addition to the Oil Installations and Commission Trump asked me is there any oil yes however there is has more oil because. This is the situation in syria plainly. We are not seeking any oil sources we do not wish to gain territory. We wish simply to establish a safe zone on our border lying to the south and after that we wish. To see 3 to 4000000 people in lip living in a safe zone living was totally destroyed by them we will continue to struggle we will continue to fight in it live simply to protect us the syrian helpless innocent people namely that children i regret to say the people are left under the mercy of a brutal regime. However what is more significant to me now is that we have. To maintain a balanced policy towards syria if we fail. To save guard our southern border live again is the terrorist organizations we will have a very difficult to morrow miss lee i had a lot of bad about that uplifts and men bit and bad and also and lip. These are very significant positions if we do not fight today we will be forced. To morrow of course and that at that time the price would be higher. The. What is taken place in the south is meant to undermine. Those who gained a foothold off in the mold of syria where later on the directors their rifles. Those hope partitioned syria will later target old. And the past. The kurdish pick k. K. Carried out terrorist attacks we at that time lost dozens of our security personnel not with us today there are 14260000 sort of terrorist operatives trained. In syria if we fail to carry out our operations in syria. Those terrorist operatives. Later act actor. Other forces are taking turkey as an enemy the Syrian Regime itself is aiming ad gaining more territory from our own home side thats why we will not falter we will not relent we will continue to fight. Through food many are following. Us on t. V. Screens. And if they ask what. Do we want from syria and the answer is we are fighting brutal. Murderous regime and enemy of. An old laws your music. Those are mistaken it is a brutal enemy. To them i ask do you want us to sit on our hands to needle before this brutal regime. This is a regime has butchered millions of its own citizens we should not forget. Then what next. Do you mean. You mean if they add him. To get a foothold on our soil. He takes people you know if we lose our territories where should we go that if you. Dont want to head to europe i you know i have no other place to go nor. Have. The turkish people because we have nothing but our. Own soil and thats why we should. Hold them in the state fast to our territories to our government and to our army and we have to pay the price however high it is in order to maintain our territories and our country. For a 1000 years which we have been doing it all was we care and all those had to make. Our. Eternal homeland here i would like to add oh dont mention the number of. The fall in marthas. The day before she is certain for marketers to fall in this number has increased to 36 you need a new kind of this is. The she 10 i can. Show us martyrdom. We have been
