Victims of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein speak in Washington

US lawmakers want more files released on Epstein, who died in a cell in 2019.

Victims of the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, and their supporters, have been speaking at a rally in Washington. The event was organised by members of the US Congress who are demanding more files on Epstein are released. We hear from some of the victims and speak to our correspondent in the capital.

It's 10 years since more than a million people arrived in Europe in what was then the biggest movement of population since the Second World War. Our Special Correspondent Fergal Keane witnessed the influx in the summer of 2015 and has gone back to retrace the journey into Europe from the Greek island of Lesbos. We also discuss with three journalists in Italy, Germany and Greece about how the continent has trasformed for migrants from open arms to crackdowns and fences.

The Netflix series, Love is Blind, is a big talking point in many parts of the world. The dating show sees singles first date each other by speaking through a wall. We spoke to two couples who met through slightly more traditional blind dates.
