Andrew investigated over potential sex crimes | Single-sex spaces guidance | Bank Holiday heatwave
About this episode
The episode discusses the investigation of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over potential sex crimes, new guidance on single-sex spaces, and political measures to address cost of living pressures amidst a Bank Holiday heatwave.
Thames Valley Police are investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over potential sex crimes, it's understood. Officers are assessing allegations that Jeffrey Epstein sent a non-British woman to the UK in 2010 for a sexual encounter with Andrew, but have yet to interview her. Meanwhile the equalities watchdog has said in new guidance that single sex spaces - such as changing rooms and toilets - must be used on the basis of biological sex. This means a trans woman - a biological male who identifies as a woman - should not use female toilets or changing rooms, according to the code of conduct which has been approved by ministers. In politics, Rachel Reeves has announced a temporary cut to VAT on some family attractions as an attempt to ease cost of living pressures. It comes as there could be record-breaking temperatures over the Bank Holiday - with health warnings in place. Finally, Thomas Tuchel is set to announce his World Cup squad - and some big names will miss out. Anna Jones and Leah Boleto have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
