Okay, we are live with Alexander Mercuris and we are joined by Brian Berletic from the new Atlas.

Brian, how are you doing?

Good to have you back on.

Thank you.

I'm doing very well.

I always appreciate and enjoy coming on.

I should declare an interest in the sense that I've been a supporter of Assange for years now,

and I've been involved in various campaigns in Britain concerning him.

And I've had some very, very sporadic contacts with people who have been actually acting for him but are not in any formal sense

and I'm certainly not directly involved with them in any conceivable way but anyway we he's now

He has been given a plea bargain.

I think he's going to have a long period, a very long period before he recovers from the ordeal,

the terrible ordeal from which he has suffered.

But to add to all of this, we have a very unsatisfactory legal resolution to this case.

So from Assange's point of view, this is the best,
