This is Reuters World News, bringing you everything you need to know from the front lines in 10 minutes, seven days a week.
We start with a change of mind for Bill and Hillary Clinton.
They've agreed to testify before a congressional committee about their alleged links to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The former U.S.
president and the former presidential Democratic nominee could have faced possible criminal charges had they been found in contempt of Congress for refusing to appear.
Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane several times in the early 2000s after leaving office.
He's expressed regret about the relationship and said he knew nothing about Epstein's criminal activity.
The Clintons are among an increasingly long list of powerful people impacted by the Justice Department's multiple releases of Epstein documents.
Reuters has been going through the millions of pages made public.
Here's correspondent Andy Sullivan, who's been looking through the material.
The Justice Department has said the material did not amount to evidence of criminal sexual activity by those named in the files.
The US has reached a trade deal with India, ending months of escalating tensions between the world's two largest democracies.
