'No solution' over Assange stand-off

No solution is in sight to resolve the stand-off over Julian Assange's extradition to Sweden, William Hague has said, as the WikiLeaks founder remained holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy.

The Foreign Secretary met Ecuador's vice-president Lenin Moreno in London yesterday following Ecuador's decision to grant Mr Assange diplomatic asylum.

Mr Assange is awaiting extradition to Sweden to face sexual offence allegations. The Australian national says he fears further extradition to the United States over documents published on his WikiLeaks website.
