JULIAN Assange is living a 'basic' life inside Ecuador's embassy, exercising on a treadmill and spending his days online.

The Wikileaks founder cooks food in his microwave, according to friends.Vaughan Smith, a former army officer who hosted 41-year-old Assange at his English mansion for more than a year while the Australian was under house arrest, said conditions in the embassy were basic, but comfortable enough."It's not worse than a prison cell, for sure," Mr Smith said."The primary reason that it's not worse is that he can use a computer and the Internet. He can work, and that is his prime concern."Mr Assange has not left the embassy in a chic district of London since June 19, when he claimed political asylum in a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over alleged sex crimes.

Ecuador granted asylum to the former computer hacker last Thursday, but with Britain refusing to grant him safe passage out of the country, he remains shut inside as the diplomatic standoff rumbles on.Mr Smith, who visited Mr Assange last week, said he had a small running machine to exercise on, a shower, and a microwave to heat his food at the embassy, which occupies a flat in a redbrick Victorian building."His kitchen facilities are certainly rudimentary," said Mr Smith, laughing as he added that Mr Assange was probably not getting his food from the luxury Harrods department store, which is just around the corner."I think he's paying for his own food, and he doesn't have any extra benefits from the embassy.
