Police are expected to continue searching Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's former home until Monday, the BBC understands.

The former prince was released from custody after 11 hours on Thursday night, following his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office; he has previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. As the UK police continue their investigation, prominent figures in the US ask whether they'll also see criminal investigations out of the Epstein files.

Also in the programme: As the US says it won't accept global governance of AI, we'll hear why Google is being sued over an AI-generated voice, the climber guilty of manslaughter for leaving his girlfriend on a mountain; and the astonishing promise of a multi-purpose vaccine delivered by nasal spray.
