- A British judge formally approved the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States to face spying charges.
- The ordercomes after the U.K. Supreme Court refused Assange permission last month to appeal against a lower court’s ruling that he could be extradited.
- Assange will be forced to face trial in the U.S. on charges related to WikiLeaks’ publication of a trove of classified documents more than a decade ago.
