Thanks for listening.

Cheerio.
I'm Tristan Redman and we're here with a bonus episode for you from the Global Story podcast. The world order is shifting. Old alliances are fraying and new ones are emerging. Some of this turbulence can be traced to decisions made in the United States. But the US isn't just a cause of the upheaval. Its politics are also a symptom of it. Every day we focus on one story, looking at how America and the world shape each other.
So we hope you enjoy this episode and to find more of our show, just search for The Global Story wherever you get your BBC podcasts. If you can't keep up with all the Epstein news, fear not, you're not alone. This week we've seen the files nearly but not quite bring down a British prime minister.
The U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Congress people went at each other like cats and dogs in an Epstein committee hearing.
All around the world, surprising countries are being drawn into the scandal. Norway, Poland, Albania, France, Russia, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Multiple royal families even. And some people are even wondering, was Epstein a spy? It's a lot. So today, we're here to recap all the main developments this week and to make sense of the sheer scale of it all.
From the BBC, I'm Tristan Redmond in London. And today on The Global Story, what we've learned this week from the files about Epstein's global network. The Global Story
Nomi, haluaisimme puhua tÀnÀÀn, mitÀ olemme oppineet maailmanlaajuisesti Upscene-sivuilta tÀnÀ viikon aikana. Mutta ennen kuin menemme siihen, meillÀ on muutama kysymys, jonka kohdalla työskentelemme sivuilta. MitÀ on ollut niiden kohdalla? Ja anna meille tunne siitÀ, mitÀ niillÀ on. MitÀ seuraa e-mailista, videosta, kuvista? Miten ne ovat tehty?
Olemme tulemaan kaikkiin tÀstÀ hieman myöhemmin, mutta haluaisimme tehdÀ muutamia kuuntelijoiden kysymyksiÀ sinulle, Nomia. Olemme saaneet muutamia kysymyksiÀ Global Story Listenerille, ja meillÀ on yksi Andyn kysymys. HÀn sanoo, ettÀ Yhdysvaltain puolustus tarvitsi lakia tehdÀ kirjoja yleisölle.
He ask at this point what percentage of the files were released and did the Department of Justice actually satisfy the legal requirement considering how many files were released?
Nomi, minulla on toinen kysymys Andiista. HÀn kysyi, millainen on mahdollisuus, ettÀ he, DOJ, voivat vahvistaa kirjojen tuloksia vahvistamalla joitain Trumpin yksilöitÀ ja Trumpi itseÀnsÀ, kun kÀsittelee yksilöitÀ? Onko tÀssÀ jotain, mitÀ voimme sanoa?
Normi, sinÀ mainitsit, ettÀ on tietoja kirjoissa. MikÀ on todellinen tieto ja miten se sopii Epstein-kirjoihin?
MennÀÀn sitten, Nomia, yhdistelmÀÀn muutamista asioista, jotka ovat tapahtuneet tÀmÀn viikon aikana. Yksi asia, joka minua todella kiinnosti, oli se, mitÀ Ghislaine Maxwell antoi House Oversight Committeein videolinkille. Haluaisin vastata sinun kysymyksesi, mutta jÀrjestelmÀÀnsÀ puheenjohtajana en vastaa nÀistÀ kysymyksistÀ tai muista liittyvistÀ kysymyksistÀ.
She pointedly refused repeatedly to answer questions from lawmakers. I invoke my Fifth Amendment right to silence. What's been the blowback from that appearance in front of Congress?
Haluaisin kysyÀ sinulle joitain ongelmia, Nomia, koska olemme oppineet tietoja, uusia tietoja joitain ongelmia tÀmÀn viikon aikana. Voitko kertoa meille hieman siitÀ, Nomia?
All right. We have another question from a listener, Nomia. James is British. He lives in France. And he has asked, are European politicians and business leaders mentioned in the files or implicated in the abuse and corruption?
