Wikileaks founder Julian Assange surrendered to authorities in London this morning, for charges that he sexually assaulted two women in Sweden. Assange denies the allegations, which are separate from other accusations concerning Wikileaks document dumps. A Wikileaks spokesman says the charges won't stop the organization from releasing classified information. We're joined by John Burns, reporter for our partner The New York Times, who is outside the courtroom where Assange will find out if he'll be extradited to Sweden to face the charges.
