Description
People on the streets of Sydney react to the news that Julian Assange has reached a landmark plea deal with US authorities. The 52-year-old had been detained in Britain for five years as he fought extradition to the United States for revealing military secrets. The deal means he could return to his native Australia.
"I think he's gone through hell," retiree John Blanco tells AFP."I'm very happy that he's coming back to Australia. I'm sure he's looking forward to it after so many years." SOUNDBITES
