When the U.S. Department of Justice filed a formal Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request with the U.K. Home Office in 2020 to question Prince Andrew as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's network, the Duke's legal team immediately went on the defensive. They issued a statement claiming Andrew had “on at least three occasions offered his assistance” and accused U.S. prosecutors of violating confidentiality rules by publicly asserting that he had not cooperated. His lawyers framed the MLA request as unnecessary “political theater,” implying that the DOJ's statements were meant to pressure the Duke through media embarrassment rather than legitimate procedure. The legal team presented Andrew as a willing witness, not a suspect — arguing that any suggestion he was stonewalling the investigation was both “false” and “misleading.”However, U.S. officials directly contradicted those assertions, saying that Andrew had “zero cooperation” despite repeated outreach. The Southern District of New York prosecutors maintained that Andrew's team refused to schedule interviews or provide substantive assistance. Legal experts in both the U.S. and U.K. noted that while an MLA request could theoretically compel cooperation through formal channels, it was diplomatically sensitive and rarely used against a member of the Royal Family. The optics were terrible: while the Duke's lawyers publicly insisted on transparency, his continued silence and refusal to appear under oath only deepened perceptions that he was hiding behind privilege and procedure to avoid accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

It comes as Home Office figures show almost 650 migrants crossed the English Channel yesterday.

Meine Superkraft ist die Dankbarkeit. Aber das war nicht immer so. Zu Beginn von Corona bin ich in ein Coaching gegangen und sollte ein Dankbarkeitstagebuch führen. Anfangs fand ich das extrem schwer -- Home Office organisieren, Kinder im Home Schooling, Sorge um die Eltern, meine Beziehung ist zerbrochen. Ich wusste nicht, wofür ich dankbar sein sollte. Doch Schritt für Schritt wurde mir bewusst: Es gab unendlich viel. Jeden Tag gesund aufzustehen. Dass wir ein Haus mit Garten hatten. Ganz kleine Dinge -- dass die Sonne scheint, dass es regnet. Egal wie schlimm es scheint, es gibt immer etwas, wofür man dankbar sein kann. Die anderen Dinge wurden dadurch nicht weniger schlimm. Aber ich konnte sie leichter ertragen.

Architektur ist nicht nur das Bauen von Häusern – sie kann auch eine Brücke sein zwischen Disziplinen, sie kann Wissen sichtbar machen und Antworten auf die Krisen unserer Zeit suchen. Genau das haben Carolina von Hammerstein und Vera Kellmann getan. Die beiden Absolventinnen von der TU Berlin wurden für ihre Masterarbeit Forest & Phoenix mit dem renommierten EUmies Awards Young Talent 2025 ausgezeichnet – einem der wichtigsten europäischen Preise für Nachwuchsarchitekt/-innen, verliehen im Rahmen der Biennale in Venedig. In ihrem Projekt entwickeln sie hybride Infrastrukturen für die Waldbrandvorsorge in Brandenburg – und denken ein geplantes Kompetenzzentrum neu: nicht als isolierten Bau, sondern als dezentrales Netzwerk, das Wissenschaft, Feuerwehr, Forstwirtschaft und die Öffentlichkeit miteinander verbindet. Wir sprechen heute in unserem Podcast mit Carolina von Hammerstein und Vera Kellmann über ihre Arbeit, die Rolle von Architektur in Zeiten der Klimakrise, über kollektives Wissen, Partizipation – und über die Frage, was junge Architekt/-innen heute antreibt und wohin sie die Zukunft führt.

Prof. Dr. Ingo Hamm ist studierter Wirtschaftspsychologe, hat einige Zeit als Berater in großen Unternehmen gearbeitet und lehrt heutzutage an der Uni, was die Schlüssel für eine zufriedenstellende Arbeitswelt sind. Sein aktuelles Buch „Kettensprenger“ setzt sich mit der Rückkehr aus dem sogenannten Homeoffice auseinander. Er untersucht die Gründe für Widerstände der Arbeitnehmenden, zeigt auf, welche unterschiedlichen Motivationstypen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt existieren und erklärt, warum nicht für alle das mobile Arbeiten die beste Lösung ist. Im hr1-Talk mit Klaus Reichert macht er deutlich, dass die Kommunikation der Führungskräfte das entscheidende Moment sind, um Mitarbeitende für ihre Arbeit zu motivieren - egal, an welchem Ort.

Ben Riley-Smith, the political editor of the Daily Telegraph, assesses the latest developments at Westminster.Ben discusses the troubles at the Home Office with two former Home Secretaries: Alan Johnson, who served under Gordon Brown and Amber Rudd, who served during Theresa May's premiership.Following the row over the China spying allegations, Ben discusses managing relations with China with Lord Sedwill, the former Cabinet Secretary and former National Security Adviser and Labour MP Matt Western who is the chair of the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy.The 'Speaker's Conference' - which has been investigating abuse and intimidation towards politicians - published its final report this week. Ben discussed the findings of the report with Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons. And, in the week that the Prime Minister discussed his musical tastes on the Radio Three programme 'Private Passions', Ben spoke to two musical politicians about the power of music: Labour's Baroness Thangam Debbonaire, who was a professional cellist and the LIberal Democrat MP Anne Sabine, who plays the bassoon.

As the concept of ID cards rears its ugly head once again, Hannah and Jen are asking if Keir Starmer's revolutionary way of eliminating faff will be as effective as Brexit in terms of reducing bureaucracy. Elsewhere, it seems the Home Office could do with some help in getting its day job done. Meanwhile, Henry VIII is repping Sexism of the Week via Hemel Hempstead, there are big international fixtures in Jenny off the Blocks, and thank God, as ever, for the French.

Listeners on the Best of Spectator playlist can enjoy a section of the latest episode of Quite right! but for the full thing please seek out the Quite right! channel. Just search ‘Quite right!' wherever you are listening now.This week on Quite right!: the great Home Office meltdown. After a week of fiascos – from the accidental release of a convicted migrant to the collapse of the grooming gangs inquiry – Michael and Maddie ask: is the Home Office now beyond repair? Why is Britain's most important department also its most dysfunctional? And what does it say about a civil service more obsessed with ‘listening circles' and ‘wellbeing surveys' than actually running the country?Then to Westminster, where Jess Phillips faces fury over the grooming gangs inquiry. Are ministers diluting the investigation to avoid awkward truths about race and culture? Michael argues that empathy is no substitute for justice – and that Labour still can't bring itself to confront the problem honestly.Next, Maddie shares an extraordinary personal story of her mother's nightmare tenant – thirty dogs, tens of thousands in damages, and zero help from the state – as she and Michael debate whether Britain's social contract is breaking down, and if new housing laws will only make things worse.Finally, the big news of the week: Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's hard-launch romance. But what do Justin Trudeau's sartorial choices say about the state of politics and pop? And who would be their British equivalent?Produced by Oscar Edmondson.  Hosted on Acast.

Why did the Home Office pay Hadush Kebatu £500 to leave the country?  Sky News has spoken to migrant sex offender Hadush Kebatu hours after he was deported to Ethiopia. He claims he tried to hand himself in to police after he was released accidentally from prison last Friday but they ignored him.     Responding to Kebatu's claims, the Metropolitan Police told Sky News: "The Met is not aware of any evidence to support the claims that Kebatu approached officers on Saturday morning.  "The actions of officers who responded to the sighting of him on Sunday morning show how seriously they were taking the manhunt. Kebatu's actions on the morning of his arrest were more like those of someone trying to avoid officers, not trying to hand himself in."   Gareth Barlow speaks to home affairs journalist Danny Shaw and Sky News correspondent Ashna Hurynag - who has been in Epping, Essex, where Kebatu sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl and a woman.  Producers: Tom Gillespie and Araminta Parker Editor: Wendy Parker

Does Shabana Mahmood, like Dominic Cummings before her, believe that the Home Office is a broken, dysfunctional bureaucratic institution that needs a radical overhaul?    In this week's episode Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC discuss these and other questions with the former BBC Home Affairs Correspondent and former adviser to Yvette Cooper, Danny Shaw.  The trio respond to the publication of the 2023 review of the effectiveness of the Home Office commissioned by former Home Secretary Suella Braverman in November 2022. See this link for access to the report -https://nicktimothy.com/report-by-nick-timothy-mp-on-the-home-office-exposes-a-culture-of-defeatism-and-poor-management/    After debating the implications of Nick Timothy's Review, they discuss the announcement by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, in the wake of the farcical arrest of comedian Graham Linehan and the decision that he will face no charges, that the Met will no longer investigate Non Crime Hate Incidents (NCHIs).  Will this lead to a nationwide change in policy?  The Timothy review also finds that the Home Office has a culture of defeatism with immigration staff feeling that failure is inevitable in enforcement of immigration policy and the department's ability to deliver has worsened rather than improved. Anyone reading Timothy's findings can well understand why Home Office officials were so keen to ensure that they never saw the light of day,  but does this simply reinforce the need for intense, honest public debate about a key area of Government?  Finally, the duo revisit the Chinese spying case  and make clear their bemusement at the explanations given by DPP Stephen Parkinson and First Treasury Counsel, Tom Little KC for their decision to drop it. --  Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

Today it's been announced that hundreds of asylum seekers are to be moved to military sites as the Government aims to end the use of hotels to house small boat migrants. However, defence minister Luke Pollard admitted that using military sites could cost the taxpayer more than asylum hotels. Yesterday Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was “frustrated and angry” about the soaring cost of the asylum system, after a damning inquiry by the home affairs committee found that Home Office mismanagement had “squandered” billions on housing migrants in hotels.

With the news that the Home Office has spent billions of taxpayers' money on asylum hotels – and following the accidental release of the Epping sex offender – Tim Shipman and James Heale discuss this most shambolic of government departments. Is it fit for purpose? Can Shabana Mahmood fix the cursed department? And, if not, who will voters turn to instead?Produced by Megan McElroy and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Another week, another immigration crisis. A powerful parliamentary committee has accused the Home Office – for this government and the last – of squandering billions of pounds on asylum accommodation and overseeing a ‘failed, chaotic and expensive' system. The report came days after the barely believable revelation that the convicted sex offender whose case sparked protests at the Bell hotel in Epping was accidentally let out of prison on Friday instead of being deported. He is now back in custody. Pippa Crerar and Eleni Courea discuss the ongoing firefighting at the Home Office and its impact on the public consciousness. Plus, what now for Labour after a crushing defeat in Caerphilly and the election of its new deputy leader, Lucy Powell? Finally, we go back to the China spy row – will this be the week the mystery is cracked open? • Send your thoughts and questions to politicsweeklyuk@theguardian.com.

Today a parliamentary report has sharply criticised the Home Office's management of the asylum system that has led to "billions" of pounds being wasted.

Daniel Sohege, a specialist in international refugee law and protection, and the director of human rights organisation Stand For All, is here to discuss the news.
