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.

He made a complaint to the UN's Working Group on Arbitrary Detention in 2014, which is due to announce its findings on Friday, although they are not binding for UK or Swedish authorities.

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

Reporter Charlotte Wright is there - she says it's been a long stint in a small embassy.
