US financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his prison cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Officials said his death was an apparent suicide. The FBI is investigating the incident.

Also in the programme: Tens of thousands of Russians have taken part in what organisers say was the biggest protest march in the country for eight years. Some fifty thousand people attended the rally, which was authorised in advance but officially restricted to take place outside the city centre. And fighting between erstwhile allies in Yemen's second city, Aden, has led to southern separatists ousting the forces of the government of President Hadi.
