ELI5: Why is Julian Assange still in the Ecuadorian embassy?

Why would Sweden extradite him, given the opportunity, and not the UK, having had the opportunity?

What are the Swedish laws about extradition?  Do they not forbid extradition to countries where the death penalty is a possible outcome of the trial?

Has the whole situation been a complete stalemate ever since he entered the embassy, or has any progress been made toward sorting out the situation?

Thanks in advance!

I believe nothing has changed since he entered the Embassy.

There is still an extradition request outstanding for him, which means there is an arrest warrant for him lodged with the UK police. If he leaves the Embassy that warrant can be executed, therefore he's still inside.
