Answer

It means Assange was expected at that time/day.  Another example is, "My friend's plane is due at 2:50 p.m" (that's the time on the itinerary).

Answer

There are two ways to use due:

This was caused DUE to this.
In this case due is used to show that there was an effect because of something.

And also this way:
The book is due.
In this case, due is used to say something is supposed to be returned.

Hope I helped :)
