WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is expected to speak publicly tonight for the first time since taking refuge at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

Mr Assange, who has been holed up in the embassy since June, is set to give a statement at 2.00pm local time (11.00pm AEST).

It remains unclear if he will leave the building and, if he does, how he will do so without being arrested. British police are stationed outside the embassy, ready to arrest Mr Assange if he leaves the building.

Whole lotta of countries are meeting to talk/bitch about UK / Ecuadorean thing and breakdown in respect of embassies. A;sp {iyin will push issue with International court if UK doesn't back down.

Looks like RT wont be covering it - didn't mention the press conference at all.
