Risk Page #5

He was not in court,

Although he may well be

watching it here on television.

I'm fine.

- Well, we're told that

he is inside this embassy here.

We're not getting a lot

of information on the ground.

His supporters even were caught

by surprise by this move.

- Yes, we considered

many countries.

However, on our analysis,

Ecuador was the most likely

to agree to the asylum.

A lot of support in iceland,

And iceland was moving

in that direction,

But, unfortunately,

they were

Simply not far enough.

Well, we say that my activities

are protected

By the first amendment, but

it's all a matter of politics.

Laws are interpreted by judges.

In any event, we require

that the United States

Guarantee that it does not apply

The death penalty

in my extradition.

However, it still could

be life imprisonment

Or 30 years of imprisonment,

And the conditions

might be very severe.

- Well, there's still

an awful lot of people here,

Not just supporters of assange,

But also passersby wondering

what on earth is going on.

Of course, as I'm sure

you can imagine,

There's a lot

of media here too.

The uk previously sent

a letter,

Which has been

interpreted by ecuador

As a threat

to storm the embassy

And get assange out

by any means necessary.

That didn't go down very well

with the ecuadorians at all.

They said that it was an act

That was not fitting

of a civilized nation.

And even in a state of war-

Even if the uk was at war

with ecuador,

They do not have the right

to go into the mission.

Yeah.

- The news that julian assange

has been granted asylum

By the ecuadorian government

is slowly spreading

Through a large,

substantial crowd

Here outside

the ecuadorian embassy,

But the british government is

insisting it changes nothing.

How pathetic is that?

- A press conference

with all of the london media,

Who hate us,

And doing it live

to the world.

It'll be fine.

I'm f***ing terrified.

I'll read it to you.

Yep.

- I'm so scared.

Okay.

You'll be fine.

Thanks for coming.

I'm going to talk a bit

about today's release.

Then we'll key

through our interface.

Then I'll take a few questions

at the end.

Just now, at 11:
00 a. M. Bst,

Wikileaks began publishing

the syria files.

Over the next two months,

groundbreaking stories-

- No.

You have to look up.

Oh.

- But you're doing

really well otherwise.

- Over the next two months-

- no.

- Ah!

- Don't-

Just read it

in your head, so buffer up.

Go, "get the first four words

into my head,"

Then look up and speak them.

- Okay.

So here we go.

Wikileaks founder julian assange

cannot be with us today,

But has given this comment

on the syria files:

"the material

is embarrassing to syria,

"but it is also embarrassing

to syria's opponents.

"it helps us not merely to

criticize one group or another,

"but to understand

their interests, actions,

And thoughts. "

- We don't just be

pissing off assad,

We'll be pissing off

his enemies as well.

- okay, give

me a couple of questions.

The one

that I'm most nervous about...

Is the typical one,

the girlfriend one,

And I just give a funny look,

and joseph says,

"that's enough on this topic. "

- Just imagine that they're

a piece of sh*t on your shoe.

A piece of dog sh*t.

Don't look at all scared.

Just look, "what?

Oh, please. "

- ridiculous question right now.

- No, no, no, just,

"oh, please. "

- Yeah.

- Do the feminine thing.

"you've assaulted my femininity.

How dare you?"

thanks for coming.

Just now, at 11:
00 a. M. Bst,

wikileaks began publishing

The syria files.

More than 2 million e-mails

From syrian political figures,

ministries,

And associated companies.

This extraordinary data

set derives from

680 syrian-related

entities or domain names,

Including those

of the ministries

Of presidential affairs,

foreign affairs,

Finance, information,

Transport, and culture.

- We'll take a very

limited amount of questions,

But I know julian is

very newsworthy at the moment.

Can we just keep the questions

to do with the release?

- Does this mean wikileaks

is back on top

And able to continue

publishing new data

After quite a hiatus

of not doing so?

Mm-hmm.

- Can you give us

any headlines from this?

Anything that we can

take away from this

Before going through

the interface,

And...

Just the latest on mr. Assange

and what he's feeling

There in the ecuadorian

embassy right now.

And mr. Assange?

As my colleague said, we-

- Can we just keep

the questions-

This isn't about mr. Assange.

And this is another-we did

the gi files earlier this year,

And then this is the second

large release of this year...

- That's good.

- That we are continuing.

I don't know if there

a rebranding.

- We're up to, like,

150 tweets a minute.

Production journal.

I had a nightmare

that hung with me for days.

Julian was being detained

at a u. S. Military base...

I'd been off the radar

since I started editing.

I should check in with sarah

so they don't freak out.

- See, my profile didn't really

take off until the sex case.

- Oh, it was pretty-

- no, no, it was very,

Very high among media circles

And intelligence circles

and so on,

But it didn't really,

really take off

As if I was a globally

recognized household name.

That wasn't until

the sex case.

So I was joking

to one of our people,

Sex scandal every six months.

- I think that was me

you were joking to...

Is the way to-

- And I died

a little bit inside.

Is the way to-

"that's gonna keep our profile,

isn't it, sarah?"

Big grin, and I was like,

"please, please, please don't.

I will kill you

on every level available. "

Come on. It's a platform.

You have a platform.

Oh, they didn't move.

This is incredible.

Those are the guys

I encouraged to let you go.

So, you know,

please don't share this

With anybody-

not a single soul-

But, you know, let's talk

about it and figure it out.

This is clearly a man

in the middle, right?

We tried to connect to tor

project's web server;

It says that

it's five hops upstream,

And then it closes

the connection.

I'm gonna give you

a whole bunch of stuff, which-

- I have no idea.

So if you prepare me-

- What the f*** is that?

You can't even-

You don't even have

a bathrobe that fits you?

Do we need to go

shopping for you?

- Shh, shh, shh.

No.

if you prepare me-

- Does that say "boss" on it?

- Yeah. If you-

If you prepare me, um,

A bootable usb

or external drive

With an onion server

that goes to a shell,

Then you can get

on this network,

And you can do the tests.

- Give me your computer,

and I will give you that.

Okay.

- We should build that with-

- No, we should build now.

- Please get in the shower.

You have ten minutes.

Please.

It's like you're in college.

Where do you sleep?

- Other side of the bookshelf.

- What?

- Yeah.

- This is your room?

- Yeah.

- Not mine, his.

I get to go home at night.

I want you to look like you
