------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news from the U.K., the judge ruling over Julian Assange's
extradition case has just denied him bail. This comes two days after the
judge rejected a U.S. bid for his extradition, where he could have faced
up to 175 years in prison. The Wiki Leaks founder must stay in prison
while the U.S. appeals this week's decision.
