Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has walked free from court after pleading guilty to one charge of espionage in a deal with the US.
It brings to an end a long-running legal battle that saw him spend more than five years in prison in the UK.
He appeared before a judge in the US territory the Northern Mariana Islands and is returning to his native Australia.
Amy Remekis - a reporter for the Guardian Australia - says the developments in his case are being broadly welcomed there.
