٠٠:٠٢:٠٢Footage shows London's Belmarsh Prison following WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange's release on Monday evening after the journalist reached a plea deal with the United States.
Next, Assange is expected to attend a hearing in Saipan - the largest of the Northern Mariana Islands, a US commonwealth - on Wednesday morning, reportedly due to its proximity to Australia and his own opposition to travelling to the United States.
Assange is expected to plead guilty to one count of conspiring to obtain and disclose US national defence documents, with the sentence to reflect time served in Belmarsh - and return to home to Australia.
The WikiLeaks founder has been detained in London since 2019, and fought a long-running extradition battle with the US over 18 charges related to the release of classified documents involving the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
He was initially granted political asylum by Ecuador in the British capital in 2012 but was dragged from the embassy by UK police seven years later.
