Hello and welcome to News Hour Live from the BBC World Service in London.
I'm Rebecca Kesby.
Coming up today, the lengths a News Hour presenter will go to to bring you the real story.
That's our colleague, Sean Lay, bravely testing a hot, hot sauce a few months ago.
But do we need a universal measure?
for the spiciness of food and the US House of Representatives has voted by 427 votes to just one to back the release of more documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
It's now going to the Senate and we'll have a lot more on that in 30 minutes.
First though,
the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has arrived at the White House.
President Donald Trump greeted him warmly as his car drew up,
a lavish dinner is planned for later this evening and earlier there was military fanfare with a horse-brackback procession and a fly-past.
Then President Trump hosted the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office as camera crews and journalists jostled to squeeze in.
Well thank you very much everybody.
We have an extremely respected man in the Oval Office today and a friend of mine for a long time,
a very good friend of mine.
I'm very proud of the job he's done.
What he's done is incredible in terms of human rights and everything else.
Well,
the two men are expected to strike a deal on the sale of US F-35 stealth fighter jets to the Saudis.
Talk about tech and AI opportunities is expected.
