Lawyers for the United States government insist Julian Assange can be ‘safely’ extradited from Britain, telling appeal judges in London that concerns about his mental health should not prevent him from facing justice.

Mr Assange’s team argues he remains at serious risk of self-harm - and say an American pledge the Wikileaks founder could serve any sentence in Australia is meaningless.
