We have heard there is a short delay. The #Assange hearing will start somewhere between now and 10.30 BST.
The delay continues. We are waiting for Mr #Assange to be brought into the courtroom.
We have just seen this tweet from @CourtNewsUK but don't know what to make of it. Both of the defence lawyers & 3 others are in the courtroom & the prosecutor is online, all ready to proceed.
Judge Baraitser has arrived but we hear nothing. Lewis's screen has frozen. We hear 2 people trying to figure out why.
BREAKING: Edward Fitzgerald speaking to Baraitser. It seems one of the lawyers may have been exposed to #COVID. EF points out the risk to everyone present to date, inc #JulianAssange. Pending results of #Covid test, adjournment until Monday.
