Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is almost at the end of a 14-year legal battle, which saw the US demanding his extradition for conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information, following diplomatic cables and military files that WikiLeaks put online in 2010.

On this episode, Niall Paterson is joined by Alex Rossi, our international correspondent, to discuss the timeline of Assange's fight against extradition to both the US and Sweden.
