    Today in court, Julian Assange struggled to say his own name and date of birth as he appeared in the dock. He claimed to have not understood what happened in the case management hearing, and was holding back tears as he said: "I can't think properly".

        His legal team asked for a delay in the extradition hearing, scheduled for February next year, to gather evidence. They argue the case is politically motived, driven by the @realDonaldTrump administration to "signal to journalists the consequences of publishing information"

        Assange's lawyer Mark Summers QC said the case in Spain of alleged agents of the US government accused of spying on Assange and his lawyers at the Ecuadorian embassy will form part of their case. "It speaks to the nature of trial Mr Assange faces in due course".

        There were no rulings made today, so I’m not sure you can be as bold as to say the court ‘bought’ anything, or otherwise.
