Assange Extradition Hearings Suspended Until May
------------------------------------------------

In Britain, a judge has suspended the extradition hearing for Wiki Leaks
founder Julian Assange until mid-May. This comes after four days last
week of intense deliberations between Assange's legal team and attorneys
representing the United States government. If extradited to the United
States, Assange faces up to 175 years in prison for charges related to
the Espionage Act. We'll have more on this story after headlines with
Assange's legal adviser Jennifer Robinson.
