Jeremy Scahill & Glenn Greenwald: Criminalizing WikiLeaks Is a Threat to Journalists Everywhere


Swedish prosecutors recently dropped the investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange has always denied the allegations, which he calls a pretext for his ultimate extradition to the U.S. to face prosecution under the Espionage Act. Since 2012, Assange has taken refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. It’s not clear whether he will emerge any time soon. Last month, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions confirmed that the U.S. has prepared a warrant for Assange, calling his arrest a "priority." To talk more about Julian Assange, we speak with two of the founders of The Intercept: Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald.

Inside Story - More NATO Troops for Afghanistan?


The war in Afghanistan is now in its 16th year. Donald Trump is considering sending in several thousand more troops. He's also urging NATO member countries to contribute more. But some in Afghanistan say an increase in foreign forces is like adding wood to a fire.

The Taliban has taken control of more districts. And there's the ISIL offshoot in Afghanistan: Islamic State Khorasan - also known as ISIL-K. The group has been targeting civilians, recruiting fighters and expanding its influence in the region. | Guests: Kristine Berzina, Transatlantic Fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States.

Angebliches Trump-Zitat: „Die Deutschen sind böse, sehr böse“


FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE: Donald Trump hat in Brüssel Klartext geredet. Besonders drastische Worte soll der amerikanische Präsident hinter verschlossenen Türen über Deutschland gefunden haben.

Der amerikanische Präsident Donald Trump soll bei seinem Treffen mit den EU-Spitzen heftige Kritik am deutschen Handelsbilanz-Überschuss geübt haben. Der „Spiegel“ zitierte Teilnehmer, die Trump mit den Worten wiedergaben: „Die Deutschen sind böse, sehr böse.“ Die „Süddeutsche Zeitung“ hatte ein ähnliches Zitat. Allerdings gab es offiziell keine Bestätigung.

An dem Treffen am Donnerstag hatten zunächst nur EU-Ratspräsident Donald Tusk und EU-Kommissionspräsident Jean-Claude Juncker teilgenommen, später wurde die Runde erweitert. Die Sprecher beider Präsidenten sagten auf Anfrage, ihnen sei dieses Zitat des Präsidenten nicht bekannt. » | Quelle: dpa | Donnerstag, 25. Mai 2017
