the u. k. perspective for confectionary on products, cheeses, immensely, of course, and then whiskey, and a lot of the u. k. a micro cultural products going into australia and then from australia, of course, a lot of their products, especially in the meat products, the lamb and the beef going into the u. k. one of the hold ups always was the different standards, the different standards in terms of use of hormones. and that's an issue with a course the u. s. trade deal. but those have been sort of eliminated. and this has been a win win, like i say, for both nations. i think something that's interesting aside factor here is this, as i mentioned before, where the more deals that the u. k. finalizes, it puts pressure on the u. s. y, because now the u. k. is in a much stronger position to negotiate the u. s. u k tre deal, because they're having all these other deals completed across the country. and you're right. this is the 1st one that's actually from scratch and eliminating all tariffs. but l

and the u. s. government said, okay, well, this discussion is a conspiracy to commit to computer intrusion. the fact that they couldn't do it, or they came back and said, no, it's not possible that's irrelevant or, or that something that has to be decided by jury in the us. and that's the key part of this, the so called hacking charge. after key evidence expert testimony, a was presented that said, look, this was just about helping chelsea manning gain access to a video gaming and entertainment site that was blocked to you as soldiers. and that chelsea manning was known for her by her colleagues for getting at gaining access to such things. and they actually had a u. s. military expert. 15 years near the armed forces, a investigator who, who knew the computer system, produced a, a report saying that that the defense is argument or position was consistent with the facts and the u. s. government wasn't, they then expanded the computer intrusion, charged included, julian going to certain hacking co

he indeed has no obligation to the u. s. government, and yet they are seeking to apply the u. s. a spinach act against a journalist and publisher who is located outside of united states for actions he took outside of the united states, which would normally be covered under the 1st amendment. so it's yeah, very disconcerting for. yeah, but yeah, there's a number of unprecedented things going on here. you have that. it's a, a foreign journalist and you have the fact that they're targeting his, his publishing. so let's, let's talk about how independent reporters and news organizations should be really concerned about this. what should they be alarmed by? well, it's the extra territorial application of u. s. law. normally something people associated with imperialism, right? so for example, if a u. s. citizen, or anybody else killed somebody outside of your jurisdiction. normally you can't be tried rights for actions that have occurred externally thus in a separate legal jurisdiction. but yet, for some reason, with the espionage act, we're saying that he can be, i'm, and well imagine

and the u. k. government, both members of the 5 eyes intelligence alliance and clearly wiki leaks, join us on poses a grave threat to this, to complete dominance of the information space, a digitally and globally. so that's one of the main things i think that they're concerned about having him. basically free is something they want to avoid doing. and so this ruling today is, is basically gonna bring it if it goes to appeal to a low court where we're looking at or maybe another year. so the whole timeline of this, just this saga of the, of the case 3 years. and so this is really a game of attrition that's being played. i think by the british authorities and coordination with the u. s. of, there's definitely political overtones to this that, beyond a doubt now there's involvement of the intelligence agencies from the u. s. and may be more than that. that's also beyond debate now. so you have a completely political situation. so you have a political prisoner, effective in terms of the prosecution,
