Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is to host a TV show interviewing "key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries" from around the world.
The 10-part series will begin in mid-March, according to a press release on the Wikileaks website, and its theme will be "the world tomorrow".
Wikileaks said that "initial licensing commitments cover over 600 million viewers across cable, satellite and terrestrial broadcast networks" but it did not specify which networks would screen the programme.
In the press release, Assange said: “This is an exciting opportunity to discuss the vision of my guests in a new style of show that examines their philosophies and struggles in a deeper and clearer way than has been done before.”
The release adds: "WikiLeaks, as the world’s boldest publisher, has been at the front line of this global movement for understanding and change. Its founder, Julian Assange, as the subject of an ongoing Grand Jury investigation in the United States for over 500 days now, is one of the world’s most recognizable revolutionary figures."
Assange is currently awaiting a supreme court hearing for his appeal against his extradition to Sweden under a European arrest warrant. He is accused of raping one woman and "sexually molesting and coercing" another in August last year. Source
