s at the embassy of ecuador and screw southwest one as we've been saying issued by westminster magistrate's court on the twenty ninth of june twenty twelve for failing to surrender to court since he's been taken into custody at the central london police station where he will remain says the met before being presented before westminster magistrates court as soon as possible so no data timing on the at the moment. the m.p.'s as a jew to do execute a further it says the warrant on behalf of westminster magistrates court i was invited into the embassy. following that could during government withdraw of asylum . no jeremey hunt the foreign secretaries. the u.k. is allowing coming in thanking ecuador's president moreno for cooperation with the u.k. foreign office to quote in shaw faces justice. jeremy hunt going on to say no one is above the law so big news julia signs after all this time holed up in the ecuadorian embassy there arrested by police basically ecuador said no more it's been out of favor with the current president but feeling anyone there he goes what a different looking man the prime bein

well he will of course be held on remand awaiting the hearing at the westminster magistrate's court about whether or not he should be charged with jumping bail back in two thousand and twelve they probably will charge him and he'll probably go to a minimal sentence if that the problem is of course that once he's in custody it's very easy for the americans to suddenly activate this not so secret grand jury secret indictment and then ask for extradition to america to stand trial potentially under espionage charges now of course legally this is difficult because america does have the death penalty britain is not supposed to under european law to extradite people to countries that do have the death penalty but it is exhibited a massive lack of backbone in extradition of british subjects to america over the last decade so i think he does face a very very grave threat of being taken over to america and i'm sure they'll say of course he would apply any death penalty but he does face a long prison sentence and we've also seen of course one of his sources allege sources chelsea manning has been re

being held and he will be taken to westminster magistrates court to be shown at some point as soon as possible we're still trying to get a handle on what means like everyone else is is it hours is it days is it weeks before he has to face whatever he has to face there this a warrant issued way back in twenty twelve of course a lot of people still very angry with you at times change seven years a chair and some of the younger people here they were when this some new guys work in the newsroom near the hagar shows you know i was just leaving school and. the good question is the big question is how much. how much animosity is this still hanging over this man how much ill feeling is there and where is he going to end up . contributor saying no it's a good thing. neil clark sorry neil clark say it's a good thing that he's finally out of there well that may be but you know the question is is the frying pan into the fire forty seven year old to his sons looking at the school yard site again just if you're joining us telling you what they're saying what the met is saying saying he was arrested

he is in westminster magistrates' court at the moment. police than carrying the wikileaks founder arrived at westminster magistrates' court where he is facing charges connected to his bail breaches. also, an extradition request from the united states. we will keep an eye on what is happening in court, he has not appeared in the dock yet but will be doing so in the next few minutes. let us bring you up—to—date on what has happened. blinking into the daylight, julian assange was bundled out of the ecuadorian embassy visibly aged after being inside since 2012. the metropolitan police arrested him after being invited inside by the ecuadorian government shortly after 10am. the foreign office said the two governments had worked together on the case to get to this stage. what it is shown today is no one is above the law, julian assange is no hero. he has hidden from the truth for years and years and it's right his future should be decided in the british judicial system. julian assange first came to prominence with the release of this video in 201

following his arrest was taken to westminster magistrates court where he was convicted of breaching bail in twenty twelve with. reports from central london. julia saunders found guilty by a court to the scathing judge inside westminster magistrates court here a little bit earlier on the judge told us on a narcissist to contest constantly using self interest and saunders told he would be sentenced to a later date set up by a video link you paid charges to tree in a sauna skipping bail back in twenty twelve they carry him out maximum sentence. of twelve months so relatively speaking it's a pretty small fry compared to the looming threat of potential charges that he's facing in the us that some more concerning to his legal team we noted that the u.s. justice department has unveiled charges of computer hacking against julian assange and there's an expected to be an extradition hearing in relation to that in may as well now as soon as the full proceedings here over a songes legal team on the wiki leaks to express it came out take a listen to what they had to say this sets a dangerous preceden

daniel sandford is at westminster magistrates' court in central london. en there? julian assange is now in the building here at westminster magistrates' court, that has been confirmed by court staff. the court doesn't normally sit at lunchtime so we expect the hearing to start sometime after 2pm. it's become clear he will be appearing in court on two matters, firstly failing to surrender when he sought asylum in the ecuadorian embassy and breached bail conditions. that will have to be dealt with by the magistrate or the districtjudge that presides over the case, but he has also now been charged under a us extradition warrant issued in december 2017 which relates to allegations he conspired with bradley manning, now known as chelsea manning, to dump that enormous archive of documents and videos in 2010. so it will be a short hearing we expect, you can assume julian assange will spend tonight in prison. very unlikely he will get bail. daniel, thank you. jack shepherd, the man who killed a woman in a speedboat crash on the thames, has been jailed for an extra

ok what's the little update for you now julian a song will be taken to westminster magistrates court this afternoon we understand also ecuador government is reportedly going to provide prosecution with information on two suspected russian hackers over their potential links to judas songs while the plot thickens now doesn't say good morning to the interior minister indeed plenty more response is going to be pouring in throughout the day we've already heard from some of us on g.'s more prominent supporters including edward snowden and john pilger the journalist and filmmaker british foreign secretary has spoken out calling a song a saying us. and he is no hero and no one is above the law but we probably will be hearing from the u.k. prime minister to resign may later in the day he was probably grateful as be huge distraction given everything that is going on with their exit at the moment possibly be hearing from the u.s. president was wow this is indeed and huge story we'll bring you all the latest on honesty of course yeah well we heard some reaction coming from the. president as well
