Julian Assange: UK 'threat' to arrest Wikileaks founder

The UK has issued a "threat" to enter the Ecuadorian embassy in London to arrest Julian Assange, Ecuador's foreign minister has said.

Ricardo Patino said a decision on the Wikileaks founder's asylum request would be made public on Thursday.

Mr Assange took refuge at the embassy in June to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces questioning over assault and rape claims, which he denies.

The Foreign Office says the UK has a legal obligation to extradite him.

James Landale has more details.
