Fallout continues from release of Epstein files

Available for 8 days

The British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has accused the man he made ambassador to the United States of lying repeatedly about the extent of his relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Our former North America correspondent explains the fallout from the Epstein files in the UK and around the world. We also speak to BBC Verify about new details of Jeffrey Epstein's post-mortem released in the latest files. A first day of talks between Ukraine, Russia and the United States has ended, with delegations scheduled to hold further discussions on Thursday. We speak to volunteers and aid workers on the ground in Ukraine who are helping people struggling with no electricity or power in the freezing cold. The BBC World Service has launched a temporary emergency lifeline radio programme for Iran in response to the ongoing turmoil in the country and the unprecedented crackdown on protests. We visit the team to find out what they have been working on today. Presenter: James Reynolds.
