Prince Andrew's continued contact with Jeffrey Epstein long after the disgraced financier's conviction exposes a troubling pattern of dishonesty and poor judgment. Despite his public claims that he severed ties in 2010, newly surfaced emails show that he remained in touch at least until February 2011, casting doubt on his past denials. This revelation further erodes his already damaged credibility and raises serious questions about his willingness to mislead the public and authorities. If he had nothing to hide, why did he attempt to obscure the true extent of his relationship with Epstein? His actions suggest either reckless naivety or a deeper entanglement that he has yet to fully disclose.More disturbing is Prince Andrew's refusal to acknowledge the implications of his continued association with a convicted sex offender. Rather than taking responsibility, he has evaded scrutiny, avoided cooperating with U.S. authorities, and relied on royal privilege to shield himself from accountability. The latest revelations should serve as a wake-up call that his attempt to distance himself from Epstein is nothing more than a carefully crafted illusion. His repeated missteps, from his disastrous BBC interview to these newly exposed communications, indicate a man more concerned with self-preservation than with transparency. If there is truly nothing more to hide, he should stop stonewalling and submit himself to a full investigation—anything less only deepens the suspicion surrounding his involvement.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew is spotted riding his horse at Windsor as court documents reveal he emailed paedo financier Jeffrey Epstein 'we'll play more soon' - two months after he claimed he had cut him off in Newsnight interview | Daily Mail Online

From war crimes overseas to revenge porn at home, it all comes back to social media. In Season 2 episode 5 of THE NEWSROOM ("News Night with Will McAvoy"), a dizzying number of Twitter- and Buzzfeed-related plots swirl around a single broadcast... and there's still a little time for a Trayvon Martin subplot, too. PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/636-righteous-of-133446350

On today's podcast: sacré bleu – we have a one-in, one-out migration deal with France. In a press conference yesterday, Keir Starmer and President Macron announced a deal they hope will curb Channel crossings. But, as ever, the devil is in the detail, with some key concerns about the numbers and the time frame. Digital ID cards are also back on the agenda – after an intervention from former MI6 boss Alex Younger on Newsnight. The argument is that they could deter the ‘grey labour force' and make it harder to work in the UK for those arriving via unauthorised means. It's the Blairite policy that refuses to go away – but, as Michael Simmons argues, we may already have the infrastructure. It's not all rosy for the government, and we could well be heading for economic catastrophe. This follows the publication of the OBR's Fiscal Risks and Sustainability document. The language is polite, matter-of-fact and bureaucratic. But read between the lines, look at the numbers, and it paints a damning picture of the risks we face as a country. Is a wealth tax the answer?Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.For more Spectator podcasts, go to spectator.co.uk/podcasts. Contact us: podcast@spectator.co.uk

Today, the UK and France have unveiled a new “one in, one out” plan to reduce small boat Channel crossings. Announcing the deal at the end of Emmanuel Macron's state visit to the UK, Keir Starmer said migrants arriving on small boats will be returned to France, in exchange for asylum seekers who have not tried to enter the UK illegally.Adam and Chris unpack what's in the deal, and ask whether this latest plan will work.Plus, host of Newsnight, Victoria Derbyshire joins Adam to talk about her experiences speaking to migrants in France who are hoping to make small boat crossings to the UK.

Nina Robinson (Soundtruism Media Productions) and Ninna Makrinov (The Fat Psychologist podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Nina's choice Scoop. Scoop (2024) is a dramatisation of the jaw dropping 2019 BBC Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew. It is based on the book Scoops by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister. Directed by Philip (The Crown) Martin, it stars Gillian Anderson as Newsnight host Emily Maitlis, Keeley Hawes as Amanda Thirsk, Prince Andrew's private secretary, Billie Piper as Sam McAlister and Rufus Sewell as Prince Andrew. Following the publication of images of Prince Andrew walking with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein the Prince's PR team suggest some friendly press opportunities will help rebuild his image. After negotiations Sam Manages to secure an interview with Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace for Newsnight. While filming the interview it becomes apparent that Prince Andrew has no self awareness and the Newsnight crew realise they have secured the interview of the decade. Scoop is the most made for TV film of recent years. It attempts to build drama around the negotiation of the interview and give a small glimpse into the lives of the major players. Recommendability and small screen scores were pretty high but lower engagement scores give an overall rating of 3.29.

As Epic Universe officially opens its doors, tourism industry leaders expect a boost to already record visitor numbers to the state. NewsNight looks at the likely impact of Central Florida's newest theme park on the economy and infrastructure. Plus, Sunshine Corridor plans progress as a study is approved into a Sunrail extension to the airport and the attractions area.

This week of NewsNight, President Trump proposes a 24% cut to NASA's budget, putting science programs and the future of the Space Launch System and Orion in doubt. And new polling shows a large majority of Floridians oppose repealing post-Parkland gun laws. Plus, a look at student homelessness in Central Florida.

On the surface, you'd think yesterday was a banner day for the second Donald Trump administration: his staff negotiated an end to the trade war he launched, he signed an executive order to mandate steep price cuts for prescription drug prices in the U.S., and who wouldn't have a good if they were given a $400 million luxury plane? Jon Stewart at 'The Daily Show' even confessed to having long-coveted the drug deal. About that ... ... the executive order, it turns out, isn't all that different than the one the courts struck down from him in 2020, and Senator Bernie Sanders called his bluff by vowing to draft the concept into legislation so Republican lawmakers could be on the record as supporting his initiative (they won't) the minute the courts do what they'll surely do again: strike down the order.------Then there's the tariff deal that still comes at a significant cost to American consumers. Even Larry Summers confesses "Trump blinked." The panel on CNN's NewsNight with Abby Phillip called it for what it was, too. Just kidding; Scott Jennings, of course, shilled. ------Locally, MARTA officials finally renamed a transit terminal long in need of a re-name for some pretty obvious reasons, but the name they landed on might ruffle some local sports fans' feathers. Hear why.

This week of NewsNight, Governor DeSantis signs a bill supporters say will crackdown on fraud in the citizen-led constitutional amendment process, but that critics claim will make it too hard to get initiatives on the ballot. Plus, lawmakers pass new measures to try to ease cost burdens for condominium owners.

Welcome back to the Konfidence in the Klutch Podcast with Donald Nelson.  Konfidence in the Klutch's Deezus gives his Konfident Service Announcement: Konfident vent (4:30). Deezus talks Politics as usual with thoughts on Trump saying whatever he wants, feels and loves everyone reacting to it.  Shermichael Singleton checked Ana Navarro on News Night with Abby Phillips.  McDonald's profit is down, and their President is blaming it on consumer fear of the economy, no.  It's due to their cancellation of their DEI programs.  Harvard says no to Trump due to their FU money (7:15).  Deezus then gives his NBA news and playoff thoughts about every first-round series: Bucks can lose all of their FA's and still will be $10M over the cap.  Well done to Coach Pop.  What's next for Pistons, Lakers, Clippers, and Rockets.  East and West Semi-Finals thoughts and picks (13:45). Deezus gives his thoughts on "Sinners" and where he can see the movie heading.  This podcast was recorded at 5:45 p.m. CT on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025.  Host: Donald Nelson Producer/Engineer: Donald Nelson Music by: Konfidence in the Klutch Productions Subscribe, Stream, or Download:

This episode starts with the delightful news that Marine Le Pen is going to 'le pen.' Then there's a review of Reform's rally in Birmingham, mainly because Led By Donkey's managed to infiltrate and lit up the NEC with pictures of Farage's pal, Putin, amongst others. And then Jemma and Marina ponder, not for the first time, why on earth Labour won't tax the uber rich as opposed to imposing cuts upon the most vulnerable in society?Fortunately, the conversation is starting to feature on mainstream TV, thanks to the brilliant Gary Stevenson on Question Time (NB Trawlers he was on Trawl Meets in May 2024. If you haven't listened it's a stellar ep) and the wonderful Julia Davies who is one of the Patriotic Millionaires who was busy on Newsnight and Sunday Morning Live. Wonderful to hear pure sense and rubbish myths being debunked. Will Labour listen though...? Meanwhile, Conor McGregor's bid to run Ireland has hit a stumbling block. Turns out having Trump's backing means naff all to the good people of Ireland. And there's an under rated clip which sounds like a spoof but it isn't.

The question that everyone in Westminster wants answered is what will actually be included in next week's Spring Statement. Previously, the Spring Statement wasn't looking like much to write home about – little more than an update. But with the economy taking a turn for the worse and her fiscal headroom narrowing, it has taken on renewed importance for Rachel Reeves, with the opposition trying their best to brand it as an ‘Emergency Budget'. What does Reeves need to do to calm the markets? Also on the podcast, Pensions Minister Torsten Bell gave an interesting interview to Newsnight last night, defending the government's welfare reforms. Where are we with the fallout from Liz Kendall's benefit crackdown? James Heale speaks to Isabel Hardman and Katy Balls. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

The Prince Andrew interview on BBC Newsnight came about after Buckingham Palace sought to clear his name amid growing scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The idea was first pitched when Prince Andrew's then-private secretary, Amanda Thirsk, was in discussions with BBC journalist Emily Maitlis and Newsnight editor Esme Wren about a possible interview. Initially, the palace wanted to use the interview to refute allegations that Prince Andrew had sexually abused Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she was trafficked to him by Epstein when she was 17. Thirsk and Andrew saw it as an opportunity to publicly address the controversy, believing it would help him regain credibility. The interview was arranged through direct negotiations between Thirsk and the Newsnight team, with Prince Andrew ultimately agreeing to the sit-down, which was filmed inside Buckingham Palace in November 2019.However, the interview turned into a public relations disaster for Prince Andrew. Instead of clearing his name, his lack of remorse, bizarre explanations, and contradictions only fueled greater criticism. He infamously claimed he could not have been with Giuffre on the alleged night because he was at Pizza Express in Woking and insisted he could not sweat due to a medical condition. The broadcast led to intense backlash, forcing Andrew to step back from royal duties days later. BBC journalist Sam McAlister, who negotiated the interview, later revealed that Andrew and his team failed to anticipate how damning his answers would sound, leading to what is now regarded as one of the most disastrous royal interviews in history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Prince Andrew's continued contact with Jeffrey Epstein long after the disgraced financier's conviction exposes a troubling pattern of dishonesty and poor judgment. Despite his public claims that he severed ties in 2010, newly surfaced emails show that he remained in touch at least until February 2011, casting doubt on his past denials. This revelation further erodes his already damaged credibility and raises serious questions about his willingness to mislead the public and authorities. If he had nothing to hide, why did he attempt to obscure the true extent of his relationship with Epstein? His actions suggest either reckless naivety or a deeper entanglement that he has yet to fully disclose.More disturbing is Prince Andrew's refusal to acknowledge the implications of his continued association with a convicted sex offender. Rather than taking responsibility, he has evaded scrutiny, avoided cooperating with U.S. authorities, and relied on royal privilege to shield himself from accountability. The latest revelations should serve as a wake-up call that his attempt to distance himself from Epstein is nothing more than a carefully crafted illusion. His repeated missteps, from his disastrous BBC interview to these newly exposed communications, indicate a man more concerned with self-preservation than with transparency. If there is truly nothing more to hide, he should stop stonewalling and submit himself to a full investigation—anything less only deepens the suspicion surrounding his involvement.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew is spotted riding his horse at Windsor as court documents reveal he emailed paedo financier Jeffrey Epstein 'we'll play more soon' - two months after he claimed he had cut him off in Newsnight interview | Daily Mail Online
