ASSANGE TO 'HAND HIMSELF IN ON FRIDAY'

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange says he'll hand himself in to UK police on Friday if a United Nations board does not rule that he has been unlawfully detained.

Julian Assange has been inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over sexual assault claims he denies.
