She told hosts Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard : `` Well first of all I want to say your introduction is exactly the total misrepresentation of Julian Assange that 's going on for all that time .

He 's been trapped and it 's been a collusion of all the governments involved - America , Britain and Sweden .
`` And from the very beginning , starting with a honey trap , he 's been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organised by the CIA . ''
Assange , 49 , is fighting to avoid being sent to the US to face 17 charges under the Espionage Act and conspiracy to commit computer intrusion after the publication of hundreds of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011 .
He has been held in high-security Belmarsh Prison , in south-east London , ahead of a full extradition hearing due to start at the Old Bailey on September 7 .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-21--Man United have to do with Bruno Fernandes what they did with Cristiano Ronaldo

There 's been plenty of words written and spoken to pay tribute to Bruno Fernandes ' decisive impact on Manchester United in his first six months at the club , but it was actions that did the job just as succinctly at Wembley on Sunday , when the Portuguese playmaker was kicked from pillar to post by Chelsea .
The stats show Fernandes was fouled three times by Chelsea players but they were all strong tackles that left the 25-year-old in a heap .
Throw in Frank Lampard 's comments about the way Fernandes had won penalties for United since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adds up the impression that Chelsea felt the best way to stop United was to stop their No .
18 , by fair means or foul .
When Fernandes was scythed down by Mateo Kovacic after 35 minutes at Wembley he already looked exasperated at his treatment , waving his hands at Chelsea 's Croatian midfielder .
Fernandes ' frustration was perhaps understandable , with that foul arriving a dozen minutes after he 'd been booted in a particularly unpleasant place by Cesar Azpilicueta .
On the evidence of his first 18 United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he 's the type of player to be bullied out of a game and he was still going in the closing stages on Sunday after giving United a glimmer of hope from the penalty spot , but an accumulation of kicks and fouls can take its toll on a player .
The insinuation from Lampard before the game that Fernandes initiates contact to win penalties was evidently aimed at semi-final referee Mike Dean .
During the game it was Chelsea 's players initiating the contact with Fernandes .
Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer defended his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he will be watching with interest to see if the targetting of Fernandes becomes a regular approach for the opposition .
While United 's front three have been in electric form in front of goal , it is the £47million man who has supplied the link between midfield and attack , adding creativity to the United side .
A graph of United 's performances this season would show a clear uplift after Fernandes ' arrival .
Solskjaer will also hope that Fernandes ' teammates become involved if it looks like he is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the opposition to leave some strong challenges on him .
That would have happened in previous sides and Solskjaer will hope he has the leaders who can intervene again .
It 's nowhere near the same level at the moment , but Cristiano Ronaldo was perhaps the last United player to become a target for the opposition .
Ronaldo and Fernandes are clearly on a different level when it comes to ability , as good as the latter has been for United , while Ronaldo also had a style of play that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of kicking the opposition 's best player out of a game is as old as the game itself .
Ronaldo was sent off at Portsmouth in August 2007 for reacting to some rough treatment and Ferguson was already calling for more protection from referees .
“ There is every chance Cristiano could get a serious injury , '' he said .
“ I have noticed over the last few months , referees seem to be more tolerant of physical contact .
A lot of late challenges have gone unpunished and on Wednesday that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t know whether referees have been instructed to manage these situations but to me , it is black and white .
“ That does not mean players should get away with doing stupid things on the pitch , but there is a concern players like Ronaldo are going to be the victims .
Cristiano fell for a 100-year-old trick , but it is very difficult to completely punish him or to be angry with him because some of the things that happen to him are not right . ''
A year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has become a tactic .
Someone fouls him , then someone else .
The referee thinks he is diving and the crowd are screaming.
” Just 18 games into his United career we 're not yet at that level for Fernandes .
The approach Chelsea took to stopping him on Sunday may have been a coincidence , but once one team have tried it you can guarantee other managers in the Premier League will have been watching with interest .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-21--Four ways Man City could line up with Nathan Ake

Manchester City are remaining coy over a possible move for Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake amid reports suggesting a £35million transfer is edging closer .
MEN Sport understands Ake is among five players on City 's shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window , with improving City 's defence a priority for Pep Guardiola ahead of next season .

A double left-footed defensive partnership is rare but there is no reason why City ca n't be successful with that pairing .
The Dutch international 's arrival could see Guardiola revert to a formation that City @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Blues had decent success when using three centre-backs , with Walker often slotting in as the third defender .

Manchester City are closing in on a deal to sign the Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake.
City have been dogged by issues in defence this season following Vincent Kompany's departure and a serious injury to Aymeric Laporte, and Pep Guardiola's made strengthening his defence a priority in the summer window.
The Blues are close to agreeing a £40million deal with Bournemouth for the Netherlands international and the deal is likely to go through without any snags.
Here are four ways City could line up with Ake if the move goes through.
4-3-3
Ake would slot right into Guardiola's favoured formation alongside Aymeric Laporte in defence. Eric Garcia is likely to be an unfortunate casualty of the 25-year-old's arrival but the Catalan's rotation policy should mean there will be plenty of opportunities for the youngster.
Given both Laporte and Ake are stronger on their left foot, it remains to be seen which defender lines up on the right alongside Kyle Walker. Ake has played on both sides for the Cherries under Eddie Howe. A double left-footed defensive partnership is rare but there is no reason why City can't be successful with that pairing.
3-4-2-1
The Dutch international's arrival could see Guardiola revert to a formation that City fans haven't seen for a while. The Blues had decent success when using three centre-backs, with Walker often slotting in as the third defender. With teams likely to deploy a low block to counter City's attacking talent, the formation makes it easier to stretch teams to create openings.
Ake would be comfortable in the centre but would likely be used on the left of the three with Laporte playing centrally. His inclusion would allow Benjamin Mendy to push further up the field and mean City are less vulnerable to the counter-attack.
4-3-3
Ake's versatility could allow Guardiola to use the Dutchman alongside Garcia and Laporte. City utilised Laporte at left-back regularly last season, mainly in games against better opposition such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. Ake has significantly more experience in the role making him an attractive option for the City boss.
The former Chelsea man has featured at left-back for club and country as well as during his youth career at Stamford Bridge. Should Guardiola want to set up his side up to play more defensively, this could be the ideal route.

Finally, Ake could be used as a defensive midfielder by the Blues. The Dutchman featured in a holding midfield role on a few occasions last season and could prove to be a useful rotation option for Rodri. Fernandinho is approaching the end of his career and is the only other recognised defensive midfielder in the squad.
Ake moving into midfield would allow Guardiola to rest Rodri and hand Garcia minutes at centre-back alongside Laporte.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-21--Why are there no daily coronavirus death figures at the moment?

The government announced on Friday that it was pausing the publication of the coronavirus daily deaths in the UK .
The Department of Health and Social Care ( DHSC ) said the death toll is temporarily on hold after Health Secretary Matt Hancock ordered an urgent review into how Public Health England ( PHE ) calculates the figures .
But NHS England reported on Monday that a further six people who tested positive for coronavirus have died in hospital in England , bringing the total number of confirmed deaths to 29,187 .
So why has the government paused some data @ @ @ @ @ @ @ figures ?
The daily DHSC Covid-19 death figures include the number of reported deaths in England in all settings of people who have tested positive for the virus .
The data is produced by PHE and taken from three different sources – NHS England hospital deaths , PHE health protection teams which are mainly not in hospital , and linked data on all laboratory-confirmed cases checked against deaths on the NHS central register .
The data from these sources is then linked against people who have had a confirmed diagnosis of coronavirus by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirmed cases that have died .
These records are then checked and merged into a single database so there is no double counting , the Department of Health said .
On July 17 , Mr Hancock asked PHE to urgently review the way daily death statistics are currently reported .
It came after researchers criticised “ statistical flaws ” in the way the deaths are reported across England , saying they are left looking far worse than any other parts of the UK .
Professors Yoon Loke , from the University of East @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the University of Oxford , argued that PHE looks at whether a person has ever tested positive and whether they are still alive at a later date .
They said that under the current definition , no patient with coronavirus was allowed to recover from the virus because “ anyone who has tested Covid positive but subsequently died at a later date of any cause will be included ” in the data .
NHS England publishes the number of patients who have died in hospitals in England and had either tested positive for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the death certificate .
This is done through the Covid-19 patient notification system ( CPNS ) where the hospitals record deaths linked to Covid-19 and has to be submitted within 28 days .
Why is the NHS still publishing data but the government isn ’ t ?
The NHS and government are publishing different figures produced in different ways .
While the government ’ s data is gathered from multiple sources and does not account for time between Covid testing and death , the NHS figures are taken directly from hospitals after treating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Meanwhile , DHSC is still publishing the number of new cases on a daily basis and the latest testing figures .
As of 9am on July 20 , 295,372 people have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK .

It came after researchers criticised “statistical flaws” in the way the deaths are reported across England, saying they are left looking far worse than any other parts of the UK.
Professors Yoon Loke, from the University of East Anglia, and Carl Heneghan, from the University of Oxford, argued that PHE looks at whether a person has ever tested positive and whether they are still alive at a later date.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-21--Exclusive: Chelsea willing to more than double Dean Henderson's Man United wages

Chelsea are prepared to more than double Dean Henderson 's wages in an attempt to prise him away from Manchester United .
The MEN understands Chelsea have made contact with Henderson 's representatives amid Frank Lampard 's dissatisfaction with the £71million Kepa Arrizabalaga , the world 's most expensive goalkeeper .
Henderson , 23 , is believed to currently earn around £70,000 a week but Sheffield United have paid the majority of his salary over the last year and Chelsea are ready to entice him with £170,000-a-week wages .
Lampard has tasked Chelsea with gauging the possibility of a move @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Solskjaer stays loyal to the faltering United number one David de Gea .
Solskjaer has repeatedly insisted Henderson will become a future first-choice goalkeeper at United but the club finalised a four-year deal with De Gea in September and Sergio Romero 's contract runs out next year .
Henderson will return to United once his loan with Sheffield United ends next week but , as the MEN revealed in January , the England international has no intention of staying just to compete with De Gea .
A source close to Henderson told the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for United but if they can not assure him of a first-team place he will seek a permanent move elsewhere .
Henderson is contracted to United until 2022 with the option of an additional year .
The MEN reported last month United are willing to offer Henderson a new deal to reflect his Premier League and international status .
Henderson is joint-second in the Premier League clean sheets table and received his first call-up to the England squad in October .
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho , who managed Henderson briefly at United , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Henderson as superior to De Gea but does not plan to vie with Chelsea for him .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-22--De Gea can answer Man United critics by breaking club record vs West Ham

David de Gea will be looking to answer his critics when Manchester United face West Ham in the Premier League on Wednesday .
Spanish goalkeeper De Gea goes into the game low on confidence after a horror show during United 's FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea last weekend .
De Gea might have done better for all three of Chelsea 's goals at Wembley , with his mistake for Mason Mount 's second-half strike perhaps the most glaring of his error-ridden campaign .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continues to stick by the Spain international despite his current decline , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he keep his place in the team—has a chance to make history .
That is because the 29-year-old only needs one more clean sheet to surpass Peter Schmeichel ’ s record of 112 Premier League shutouts for United .
Should he do so , De Gea will have the most clean sheets of any goalkeeper for the club in the history of the competition .
In terms of good omens ahead of the match United are unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League home games against West Ham ( W9 D2 ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
However , West Ham have won two of their last three league games against United and are looking to complete their first league double since 2006-07 , following their 2-0 win at the London Stadium in September .
United know they will move into fourth place if they avoid defeat at Old Trafford on Wednesday , and there will never be a better time for De Gea to repay the faith his manager has shown in him .
