Russian diplomats hatched a daring plot to extract Julian Assange from London but cancelled the plan just days before because it was too risky, it has been claimed.
The alleged plot involved smuggling the WikiLeaks founder in a diplomatic vehicle from the Ecuadorian embassy and moving him to another country by boat or plane.
The extraction was scheduled for Christmas Eve 2017 and was to be overseen by the head of Ecuador's intelligence agency who arrived in London on 15 December, it was claimed.

The plot was allegedly arranged in discussions between Russian diplomats and Fidel Narváez, Ecuador's London consul who is close to Assange. Narváez denies being part of any plot.
It was revealed to the Guardian by four sources 'familiar with the inner workings of the Ecuadorian embassy.'
All of the anonymous sources said the Kremlin was willing to support the plan and one option involved moving Assange to Russia to live there permanently.
Another option was to get him to Ecuador by boat, the sources said.
But the plan faltered when the British government refused to accept Ecuador's application to make Assange a diplomat so he would be immune from prosecution, the sources said.
Assange has been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012, fearing he will be extradited to the United States for questioning over the activities of WikiLeaks if he leaves. He is wanted in Sweden over rape claims which he denies.
According to US special counsel Robert Mueller, information website WikiLeaks allegedly published 'over 50,000 documents' stolen by Russian spies which may have influenced the outcome of 2016 US election. Assange denies any connection to stolen documents.

It comes after it was revealed Assange applied for a Russian visa two years before hiding in the embassy to avoid extradition over rape claims.
The note to the Russian Consulate in London is dated November 30, 2010, shortly after Assange's website WikiLeaks had released a first batch of US State Department files.
'I, Julian Assange, hereby grant full authority to my friend, Israel Shamir, to both drop off and collect my passport, in order to get a visa,' said the letter.
It is part of a much larger trove of WikiLeaks emails, chat logs, financial records, secretly recorded footage and other leaked documents.

The files provide both an intimate look at the radical transparency organization and an early hint of Assange's budding relationship with Moscow.
The ex-hacker's links to the Kremlin would become increasingly salient before the 2016 US presidential election, when the FBI says Russia's military intelligence agency directly supplied WikiLeaks with stolen emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman and other Democratic figures.
Representatives for Assange, who has been barred from internet access at his refuge inside the Ecuadorean Embassy in London because President Moreno wants him out, didn't return repeated messages seeking details about the visa bid.
Assange is also avoiding being arrested and extradited to Sweden over allegations that he sexually molested one woman and raped another during a trip to the Scandinavian country in August 2010.
Assange has always denied wrongdoing in the case, which he cast as a prelude to extradition to the US.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
