And King Charles says his cancer treatment will be reduced in the new year.
We start in the US, where Democrats have released 89 photos from the estate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, some of which feature rich and powerful people who'd mixed with him, including Donald Trump and the former President Bill Clinton.
All those pictured have strongly denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and the images do not depict any misconduct.
The White House has accused Democrats of seeking to create a false narrative.
I asked a correspondent in Washington, Sean Dilley, what they showed.
So then why are Democrats releasing them now?
And what are we hearing from the Republicans where some have said in the past they wanted these files and photos released?
Now, the Epstein files held by the Justice Department are due to be released next week, I believe the 19th of December, following that vote in Congress recently.
Do we know whether they'll be released?

Despite President Trump announcing that Cambodia and Thailand had agreed to halt fighting, Cambodia says Thai warplanes have again attacked hotel buildings and bridges close to the border.
Mr Trump had made the announcement after telephone conversations with the two countries' leaders following days of renewed border clashes that have left at least 20 people dead and half a million displaced.
I asked our Southeast Asia correspondent Jonathan Head what we know about the current state of hostilities.
OK, so, Jonathan, is there an outcome that could satisfy both sides?
And what do we make of the piece that he so-called brokered, Mr. Trump, that peace accord, which was signed back in October?
Jonathan Head reporting.
The security forces in Iran have arrested the winner of the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, Nargis Mohammadi.
Mohammadi, who spent more than 10 years in detention for her activism, had been granted temporary leave from prison and was in poor health.
Her brother, who lives in exile in Norway, said she'd been beaten, held by her hair and dragged to the floor during her rearrest.
Now I guess Mohammadi's son, Ali Rahmani, lives in France and spoke to us in French.
