Live: Julian Assange to find out if he has lost extradition battle to US

Watch live outside the High Court in London on Monday, 20 May, as Julian Assange is expected to find out if he has lost his battle to prevent his extradition to the US.

Mr Assange was taken to Belmarsh prison five years ago, after being dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he had stayed for seven years while trying to avoid extradition.
