Trump demands probe into Epstein and Democrats' ties

US Congress will vote next week on releasing all Epstein files.

US President Donald Trump says he has ordered the US attorney general to investigate links between the disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton, as well as other Democrats. We’ll also hear from a senior Democratic congressman.

Also in today’s programme: why did a chartered plane carrying Palestinians from Gaza mysteriously arrive in South Africa, and why a cosmetic surgery procedure known as the “deep plane facelift” is attracting growing attention, particularly on social media. We are joined by renowned cosmetic surgeon Norman Waterhouse.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Hanna Uose, a London-based novelist and strategist, and Dr. Afzal Ashraf, a defence, security, and international relations expert at Loughborough University in the UK.
