Assange speaks about forthcoming extradition hearing

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has made a brief court appearance in London and been told to return next month.

The 39-year-old Australian is wanted in Sweden but denies allegations of sexual assault against two women.

District Judge Nicholas Evans oversaw a 10-minute hearing at Belmarsh Magistrates' Court, sitting at Woolwich Crown Court.

His lawyers said they were ready for a two-day extradition hearing on 7 and 8 February.
