0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, we had a ruling in the Assange case. |
0:05.0 | On the surface, it looks like it's a positive for Assange, but maybe it's not a positive for Assange. |
0:14.0 | What's your take on this ruling? |
0:18.0 | Is it a positive? |
0:20.0 | Is it not a positive or is it a mixed bag? What are your thoughts? |
0:24.8 | I'm very, very uneasy about this ruling. Now, if you go back to the hearing itself, we did a video |

1:38.9 | that justified, legally, his extradition to the United States. |
1:43.7 | And I said that, I've always said that, I thought that decision was wrong. |
1:47.0 | And it looked to me as if the judges at this latest hearing might think that the case, the decision of Judge Baritzer, was wrong and would grant leave to appeal. Now that is what they've done. |
2:05.5 | They've granted leave to appeal. They've said that Assange has an arguable case on three out of |
2:12.3 | nine grounds of appeal and they are the important ones. But having done that, they've then gone back |
