Essex Police is investigating whether Epstein trafficked women and girls on flights that traveled through London's Stansted Airport. Similar inquiries opened for London Luton Airport by Bedfordshire Police. West Midlands Police are "assessing" whether Birmingham Airport was used.

It is being investigated if public funds were used to fund Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's access to Epstein, through RAF bases, government jets, and Metropolitan Police protection officers who were deployed as security at Epstein's Manhattan home.

There is almost no difference between the UK and French positions on Iran. But Macron's approach has been broadly accepted by French media and the opposition - except for the extreme left. The parallel with the UK is interesting.

The White House wants an extra $50 billion to fund Trumpâs illegal war. Thatâs on top of the Pentagonâs $1T budget â which Trump is trying to boost to $1.5T. Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private corporations and the Pentagon has failed eight financial audits in a row.
