He faces no further prison time and is now on his way back to Australia.

The Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is on his way home to Australia after being freed by a court on a remote US island. This brings to end a fourteen year legal battle over the leaking of vast amounts of secret US military information. We speak to one of Assange's legal team. 

The United Nations Secretary General has expressed deep concern about the deadly violence that has marred Kenya's mass protests against proposed tax rises.

Also in this hour, Poland rolls out a programme "Holidays with the Army" aimed to give basic military training for young Poles amid growing concerns over Russian aggression in the region. We are joined by the country's foreign minister, Radek Sikorski.
