ASSANGE LEAVES UK AFTER PLEA DEAL

Wikileaks says its founder Julian Assange has struck a plea deal with US authorities and has left the UK.

US court documents show Mr Assange is accepting a guilty verdict for violating America's espionage law.

He won't face a further prison sentence after receiving credit for time already served.

Assange was freed from Belmarsh Prison in London and is returning to Australia.

Julian Assange's wife Stella Assange released a video marking the release.

IN: "This period...
OUT: ...to freedom."
DUR: 14 seconds
