A British judge formally approved the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States to face spying charges. The case will now go to Britain's interior minister for a decision, and the WikiLeaks founder still has legal avenues of appeal. The order, which brings extradition closer, comes after the UK Supreme Court last month refused Assange permission to appeal against a lower court's ruling that he could be extradited.
