remember that only recently he got ecuadorian nationality. the ecuadorians were talking to the british authorities, trying to get diplomatic immunity for him. that is something the british authorities have absolutely refused to do. are in the option that the british judge rules he cannot have this war and, that he is a fugitive from british justice, and therefore also swedish justice still. -- justice still, i would imagine he might decide yet again, as we have been here many times before for julian assange, to decide to appear at that balcony. this is not a normal embassy. this is a tiny flat. the ecuadorian embassy has to get on with their job every day. you are right. they basically want him to leave this embassy. -- play again the whole immunity card? that is possible, but that is absolutely not in agreement. british authorities are clear on that. you are a fugitive from justice. we will see what julian assange and the ecuadorians decide to do if the lifting of the warrant is unsuccessful this afternoon. they do foricte, that. we will be

if he leaves the ecuadorian embassy any fears that you know the punishment may even be the death penalty given his huge following in that the amount of support he has do you think that likely that he would face the death penalty in the us. that is a very difficult question i think what it is likely said if you work to be in some way whisked off to the us extradited or rendered in some manner then he would face an extremely unpleasant situation whether it's actual death penalty carried through or some sort of maximum security detention which is the case which has been the case with chelsea manning it is such a magnitude that it would be likely to be illegal under european human rights law to allow for him to be sent to the u.s. so whatever the exact outcome it would be a deeply disagreeable one and one which would be dangerous to his personal safety eric b. august senior lecturer in law at bristol law school thank you for your time. us republicans have released a document alleging the.

said he's free to go out onto the balcony where he has seen has been seen several times of the ecuadorian embassy to this julian assange has tweeted that he's only been out there. about six times under heavy security so that's not really a reason also the judge argued that his health condition is not as bad as it could be saying that's not a reason to consider lifting the arrest warrant and that any kind of punishment that his team presented as already having been excessive is also not a good enough. friesan the judge here said she believes that julian assange just like everybody else is not above the law he should have presented have some to it's himself to the case and that he cannot just impose his own terms of justice so the judge here in london was not convinced which means that now it's back to the working table for a sangean has a defense team to see what else there is they can do to try to either appeal this decision or come up with any new moves in order to move this case forward live in london outside westminster magistrate's court on assisted churkin and face the update there t
