Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. King Charles said the "law must take its course" in response to Andrew's arrest, and that the police has his ‘full and wholehearted support and co-operation’. Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has denied all wrongdoing arising from his relationship with the US financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Also in the programme: There are signs in Gaza that Hamas is tightening its grip on the territory; South Korea's former president Yoon Suk Yeol has been sentenced to life in prison for insurrection, and why the fantasy epic Game of Thrones is inspiring a Shakespearean theatre company.
