Survivors welcome move to release Epstein files

Both chambers of Congress have agreed to order the US justice department to release its files on sex offender financier Jeffrey Epstein. The move comes days after President Trump reversed his positon and urged Congress to vote to disclose the records.The survivors of the late sex offender have welcomed the decision.

President Trump has said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman"knew nothing" about the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The President rejected a US intelligence assessment from 2021 which determined the crown prince had ordered the operation that led to the journalist's death.

And local officials in Nigeria have told the BBC that two girls, who were among at least 25 children and a teacher kidnapped from their boarding school in north-western Nigeria's Kebbi state on Monday, have managed to escape.
