Canberra (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returned home to Australia to start life as a free man Wednesday after admitting he revealed US defence secrets in a deal that unlocked the door to his London prison cell. Assange landed on a chilly Canberra evening in a private jet, the final act of an international drama that led him from a five-year stretch in the high-security Belmarsh prison in Britain to a courtroom in a US Pacific island territory and, finally, home. His white hair swept back, the Australian raised a fist as he emerged from the plane door, striding across the tarmac to g...

Bangkok (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is on his way to face a final US court hearing on Wednesday under a plea deal that is expected to bring his years-long legal drama to a close and allow him to return to his native Australia as a "free man". Assange was released Monday from a high-security British prison where he had been held for five years while he fought extradition to the United States, which sought to prosecute him for revealing military secrets. He flew out of London to travel to the Northern Mariana Islands, a US territory in the Pacific where he will plead guilty to a sin...

Sydney (AFP) - Behind closed doors, an Australia-US-UK diplomatic dance opened the way for a plea deal to free WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, analysts and a diplomat previously involved in the case told AFP. The 52-year-old Australian citizen walked out of his five-year visit to London's high-security Belmarsh prison on Monday after agreeing to plead guilty to a single count of revealing US national defence secrets. Assange's release had been under discussion "for a little while now", said Jared Mondschein, director of research at the University of Sydney's United States Studies Centre. "It...

Houston (AFP) - A US judge on Friday approved the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' personal assets, setting the stage for the repayment of a fraction of the nearly $1.5 billion in damages he owes families whose loved ones were killed in a school shooting. But the bankruptcy judge in Houston spared Jones from liquidating the parent company of his far-right website InfoWars -- long notorious for peddling misinformation -- in a reprieve that will allow it to remain in business. The serial provocateur had been ordered to pay the damages for calling a 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook ...

Houston (AFP) - A US judge on Friday approved the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' personal assets, media reports said, setting the stage for the repayment of nearly $1.5 billion in damages he owes the victims of a school mass shooting. The ruling by a bankruptcy court in Houston throws into doubt the future of Jones's far-right website InfoWars -- long notorious for peddling misinformation -- which dangled the prospect of a "potential last broadcast" on Friday.

San Francisco (AFP) - Workers fired by SpaceX filed a lawsuit Wednesday accusing Elon Musk of fostering a sexist "Dark Ages" culture at the company he founded. The civil complaint filed in a California court in Los Angeles contends Musk had the workers terminated after they published an open letter detailing their concerns and calling on the American aerospace firm's board to distance itself from the SpaceX chief executive. "Elon Musk trumpets SpaceX as the leader to a brave new world of space travel," the court filing says. "But (he) runs his company in the Dark Ages -- treating women as sexu...

London (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's appeal against a UK court ruling that approved his extradition to the United States to face trial for breaking national security laws will begin on July 9, a judicial spokesman said Tuesday. Assange, 52, won his bid to challenge the ruling last month, and the two-day hearing will now take place at the High Court in London next month. The Australian publisher is wanted by Washington for publishing hundreds of thousands of secret US documents from 2010 as head of the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks. Had he lost at last month's hearing, Assange ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - A British woman who claims she was the inspiration for the stalker in the smash Netflix hit "Baby Reindeer" sued the streamer Thursday, demanding $170 million in damages.
