Conservatives pile on more pressure over Lord Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein

World at One

Available for 9 days

Opponents of the government question the Prime Minister's judgement in appointing Lord Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US. Also, we hear about the fears for the future from one of the negotiators of the last nuclear non-proliferation treaties between the US and Russia, which expires this week. And the comedian John Bishop and his wife tell us about how close they came to divorce, in their first joint-interview, with the Hollywood adaptation of their story in cinemas.
