Summary
A US congressional committee has made public the 'birthday book' allegedly given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 to mark his fiftieth birthday. In it, messages, photos and drawings from his friends - including Donald Trump.
The White House is furiously denying that the American President ever submitted a drawing to Epstein, insisting that the signature is not his. Democrats have called it "revolting" and "sick". After spending so long shouting about an Epstein cover up, how wounded are Trump and the Republicans by the latest revelations?
Later, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, on the "addictive" algorithms he thinks are making the world a more dangerous place - and his proposals to reclaim the internet.
And, the Labour deputy leadership race heats up. Why it might have Keir Starmer sweating.

| 0:41.3 | He doesn't draw. Well, last night, that image, so talked about, was released after House Democrats subpoenaed it from Jeffrey Epstein's own estate. |
| 0:53.3 | It is a sexually suggestive letter. |

| 1:29.1 | I mean, explosive is the cliche. I think that's fair. In particular, a lot of focus is coming |
| 1:33.9 | on a note and sexually suggestive drawing containing what appears to be Donald Trump's signature |
| 1:39.9 | that was included in a book for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003, a drawing that Trump is |
