00:00But let us understand, while today was an important victory, and an important vindication, the road is far from over.
00:12The war, the proper war, is just commencing. The UK has said it will arrest me regardless.
00:23Now, the United States, CIA Director Pompeo and the U.S. Attorney General have said that I and other WikiLeaks
00:34staff have no rights, we have no First Amendment rights, and that my arrest and the arrest of our other
00:41staff is a priority.
00:43That's not acceptable. WikiLeaks will continue its publications. Today, in fact, we published new important material from the Central Intelligence
00:57Agency, CIA Vault 7 Athenia,
01:01a system to penetrate and spy on, in a statistical way, anyone that the CIA happens to be interested in.
01:16Such measures are conducted without warrant, and the threats towards me, my staff, and WikiLeaks as a publisher will not
01:28be tolerated, and have not been tolerated.
01:30Our publications are proceeding at speed, and that speed, in relation to the CIA, is accelerating.
01:38Finally, we have had another very important victory this week, even more important and more conclusive than the one we
01:50have achieved today.
01:51And that is the release of Chelsea Manning from prison. After seven years, detained in a military prison.
02:01With an extensive fight, we and others managed to have him released 28 years early from his sentence, alleged WikiLeaks
02:14source, Chelsea Manning.
02:15So, some very important victories, but the legal conflict with the United States and the United Kingdom, at a formal
02:26level, continues.
02:27So, some news.
