This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Andrew Peach, and at 16 Hours GMT on Tuesday 23 December, these are our main stories. The US Justice Department publishes thousands of new files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Ukraine says it's suffering widespread power cuts after another night of Russian air attacks. Regulators in the US approve a weight loss pill. Also in this podcast, the latest on the bidding war for one of Hollywood's oldest studios, Donald Trump's year through the eyes of one of his friends. There's mass deportations underway, and a lot of people feel that that might be extreme. You want to remove the people that are criminals and gang members, but you don't necessarily want to forcibly remove everybody.
And how do you stick to New Year's resolutions?
So a smart use of friction, make it easy to follow through, make it difficult to fail, is the way forward.
The US Justice Department has released its largest batch yet of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein. He was the sex-trafficking US financier who befriended a huge number of rich and famous men over the years and who died in prison in 2019. Our investigations correspondent Andy Verity is among the BBC team combing through this enormous data dump by the DOJ. He's been telling my colleague Tim Franks about the latest revelations. The thing that leapt out at me first was an email which indicates that Donald Trump travelled many more times on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet than was previously reported. And it reports that he flew with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell during the time for which they expected to bring charges against her.
Now, of course, his presence on the flights doesn't indicate wrongdoing. This email was sent on the 7th of January 2020 when he was still in his first term of office. Donald Trump is from an assistant US attorney on the team investigating Epstein, who tells colleagues that flight records received the previous day reflect that the former president, the current president, travelled on Jeffrey Epstein's jet many more times than previously reported. In particular, the email says the US president is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 96, including at least four where Ghislaine Maxwell was present and another on which the only three passengers were Epstein, Trump and and a 20-year-old woman whose name's been redacted.
And on two other flights, two of the passengers were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case, the email says, adding that the team didn't want any of this to be a surprise down the road. Now, Donald Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. We've approached him for comment. Haven't got anything specifically on... on this, but the DOJ has said that 30,000 documents have now been released, and it says that some of the documents which pertain to a time just before the 2020 election contain inaccurate sensationalist claims.
