London (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces a weeks-long wait to learn if he can make a last-ditch appeal against extradition to the United States, after a UK court on Tuesday delayed a decision. The High Court in London gave the US government three weeks to provide further "assurances" on his treatment if he is sent there to face charges over Wikileaks' 2010 release of secret military and diplomatic files. Washington has spent several years trying to extradite the 52-year-old Australian citizen to stand trial for the publication, which related to the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanis...

London (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will find out Tuesday whether he can mount a final UK legal bid to challenge his extradition from Britain to the United States, court listings showed.

Two senior High Court judges in London last month heard two days of evidence from his lawyers and those for the US government over whether to grant him a fresh appeal against extradition. Assange was absent from court...

Washington (AFP) - The White House wished a swift recovery on Wednesday to Britain's Catherine, Princess of Wales, and said it would respect her privacy after a manipulated royal photo unleashed a torrent of speculation about her wellbeing. "I have not spoken to the president about Kate Middleton," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters traveling with US President Joe Biden on a campaign trip when asked about the controversy.

London (AFP) - Britain signed a trade agreement with Texas on Wednesday after it failed to secure a post-Brexit deal with the wider United States. UK Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch and Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed the agreement in London. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government has struggled to deliver on a promise to sign big trade deals in the wake of Brexit, or Britain's departure from the European Union. Rather than a formal trade deal, the Texas signing is akin to a memorandum of understanding designed to improve co-operation between UK businesses and peers in the US state. "Today's s...

The fiasco gave way to a fresh swirl of speculation about the British royal -- dubbed online as "Katespiracy" -- laying bar...

London (AFP) - Showing off his muscles, cigars and fast cars, influencer Andrew Tate's videos on social media have captured the attention of millions of teenage boys. But the 37-year-old US-born Briton is also accused of human trafficking in Romania, and police said Tuesday that he was taken into custody on UK sex offence charges.

Campbeltown (United Kingdom) (AFP) - In a storyline improbable enough for Hollywood, a vegan chocolatier in a remote Scottish port town has made the confectionery to be given to silver screen icons at next month's Oscars. Fiona McArthur's luxury chocolates will be handed out to Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and other VIPs at cinema's biggest annual night, with each nominee in the main categories to be treated to a box. McArthur, 37, only opened her small chocolate shop in Campbeltown, western Scotland, in 2019 but it soon caught the eye of the company responsible for assembling Academy Awards goo...
