Overview

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is facing extradition to the United States following his arrest at the Ecuadorean embassy in London, charged with involvement in a computer hacking conspiracy that led to one of the "largest compromises of classified information in U.S. history".

Bank of England governor Mark Carney said on Thursday that if the United Kingdom made a "choice" to go for a no-deal Brexit, it would be significantly less costly than Britain crashing out of the European Union accidentally.

Boeing Co Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg said the company had been "humbled" by the crisis over 737 Max aircraft and vowed to rebuild the trust of the flying public which had been damaged by two deadly 737 Max crashes in the past six months. Muilenburg said Boeing had completed 96 test flights of the new software. (Compiled by Bengaluru newsroom; Editing by Sandra Maler)
