Britain's Prince Andrew speaks to the BBC

The Duke of York, the second son of Queen Elizabeth, has spoken to the BBC about his links with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who took his own life in August.

Also in the programme: Sri Lankans head to the polls today in the first election since more than 250 people were killed in multiple suicide attacks.

And fires continue to rage on much of Australia's eastern coast.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Alex von Tunzelmann, British historian and film scriptwriter; and Giles Kenningham, founder of the Trafalgar Strategy political consultancy based in London and a director of communications for the UK Conservative Party’s general election campaign in 2015.
