Today, we are going to continue looking at when the activism by looking at another one of the worlds best known cyber activists, Julian Assange, the founder of the whistleblowing website wikileaks. In november, he spoke to democracy now from inside the Ecuadorean Embassy where he had been holed up for nearly six months. We spoke about the United States targeting of wikileaks, of his new book. I interviewed Julian Assange. We began by asking him about the European Commission decision that the Credit Card Company be said did not break the European Unions antitrust rule by blocking donations to wikileaks. The decision is disgraceful, but it is only a preliminary decision. Hopefully, they will turn around before the end of the year. The commission had been investigating our plans for 16 months. The normal turnaround t
The race for new york city mayor. In a new video, he promises to fight amid sexting scandals. Quitting isnt the way we fight in new york city. Its not about the campaign and not about the candidates and this isnt about me. This is about helping new yorkers, because they understand this is about them. Well, that video capped a rough day for his campaign. When asked by a reporter tuesday if he was still engaging in inappropriate conduct, weiner side stepped the question, refusing to give a direct yes or no answer. Earlier in the day his spokeswoman lashed out at a former intern who posted a negative story about her time on the campaign. She called the intern a fame seeking underachiever who, quote, sucked at her job. She later apologized for that. That after weiners most recent sexting partner said weiner has fallen to fourth in the latest Public Opinion poll. Supporters call him a hero, the government calls him a traitor.

The takeaway washington correspondent for Public Radio International joins us. We said the headline, no deal was reached after this closed door session. Why not . Exactly what knows happened except those 100 senators and the small handful of staffers in the room. Were leaving the room, trickling out last night, you heard a couple of different takes on what went on. The standard bromides, the washington code speak, frank and open discussions, these words that do not tell you much, but you got a couple of real pieces of information. Senators on both sides said they felt like the sides understood each other better. A couple of democrats said that they thought republicans had a better understanding, that they feel president obama has been disrespected by the senate in his nominees, that he has not received the level of respect and defer
So theyre scrambling. Theyre trying to figure this out as well, chuck. No indication as to whether the president has been briefed on this. Hes about to hold an event with sheriffs. In fact im told he just entered and so well try to get more questions to him about all of this. But this is unprecedented, as you say, the fact we have someone inside sounding the alarm like that. Thats what it is, someone sounding the alarm. The call is coming from inside the house. By the way, i should make a point, no Press Briefing today, no Press Briefing yesterday.

But for the folks who live near the explosions that lit up the propane plant in Central Florida, they were enough to turn night into day. Homes were rocked for miles around. There were eight injuries in all. Something of a miracle no one was killed, when so much fuel ignited and then blew skyhigh. Propane is one of those things that makes life go in this country. It has to be handled carefully. And lot of folks tend to think about the danger only after a large quantity of it goes up the way it did in spectacular fashion. We begin tonight at the scene with nbcs mark potter. Mark, good evening. And good evening to you, brian. Many of the First Responders who came here to fight the fire did not need to be called in by the dispatchers. From their own homes here in tavares and surrounding areas, they actually heard the explosion and saw the blaze. The overnight blast and flames could be heard and seen for many miles and for seve
