Finance here Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his new york prison cell epstein is thought to have killed himself he was a convicted sex offender who was rearrested last month and was facing 6 trafficking charges and accusations he abused dozens of teenage girls he denied the charges and faced up to 45 years in prison if convicted attorney general william by has ordered an investigation into the circumstances of abstains death and im joined now by washington correspondent have the foley alias probably the f. B. I. Is investigating this what more can you tell us. Hi rebecca youre right there the f. B. I.

B. I. His investigation i have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of mr epsteins death so now we know that weve got the attorney general saying that weve got the f. B. I. Investigation and its being called an apparent investigation or an apparent suicide lets not forget that just over 2 weeks ago to 3 weeks Geoffrey Epstein was found unresponsive in his jail cell is also reports there you know he had been placed on suicide watch following that incident. Several days ago he had actually been taken off suicide watch so theres a lot of questions being asked here in the United States its also been said that in fact the attorney general was livid when he found thats what reports here in the media are saying im lets not forget that just yesterday unsealed documents were released related to the Jeffrey Epstein case and of course now today were talking about his apparent suicide so as you can imagine this is dominating the news over here in the United States and tiffanie a lot more to come out about this story but tell us a bit more about exactly who this man was and what he was charged with. Well Jeffrey Epstein was a billionaire financier he actually began as a teacher he had some very high profile contacts he was often seen socializing with current President Donald Trump former president bill clinton and even Prince Andrew of the British Royal family but it wasnt just ben the world or very high profile members you know in the world of entertainment and business and even politics so you know a lot of sort of scrutiny being placed also on his former contacts and what happens is the latest accusations are in fact related to his arrest. They are they were sex trafficking dozens of girls as young as 14 he was accused of paying girls under the age of 18 to perform sex acts on his homes in new york and in florida he denied those charges but like i said theres been fresh scrutiny fresh spotlight placed on his contacts these high profile contacts that he had several years ago just briefly if you can mean this whole investigation is surrounding him now hes no longer alive what does it mean for the investigation what of course these charges are related to took place between 20022005 those who take an action against him have said that theyre not going to stop their fight and they plan on the. Pace that basically with this issue through the civil courts so theyve said theyre not going to give up so i dont think its going to be the last weve heard of that Jeffrey Epstein case for now anyway. In washington thanks very much for the update. Thats hong kong now where theyve been renewed clashes between police and prodemocracy protesters place hired to get protesters who were holding an authorized demonstrations entered occasions its the 10th consecutive weekend of protests that were triggered by opposition to a proposed law that would have been allowed extradition from hong kong to Mainland China. Activists held a number of other protests earlier in the day that remained peaceful including a sit in at hong kong airport. At the airport protesters assembled for a 2nd day to greet passengers arriving in the city drawing International Attention to their cause saturday morning also saw a rather tranquil rally in support of the prodemocracy movement they brought together families demanding a stable and free future the wave of protests began 3 months ago in opposition to draft legislation to allow suspects in criminal cases to be tried in Mainland China but the demands have widened. Im worried if the extradition law to china is imposed or this movement of ours is a failure my kids might have no democracy or freedom and a lot of things will be taken over by the mainlanders. A group of elderly people also submitted petition letters to the police and the authorities to stop and investigate what they call violence against the protesters especially of clashes in july normal the reputation of the Hong Kong Police was so good for more than a decade but it was completely destroyed on july the 21st i dont know how many years it will take to restore the trust of the people i was on. At the same time there were smaller demonstrations in front of several police stations in support of the Police People gather to express their fangs and called on others to say thank you whenever they meet officers on friday various business groups also called on the people of hong kong to support the police and to reflect on the chaos and the Economic Impact of the protests. The average income of taxi drivers has decreased nearly 40 percent over the past 2 months. So i appealed you to stop and think if the situation continues our hong kong really is heading towards a dead end this is probably the kind of thing the communist leadership in beijing wants to hear and once people around the world to hear as it seeks to boost resistance to the prodemocracy movement in hong kong and china has issued a red alert its highest warning of the typhoon like a man made landfall south of shanghai the storm battered coastal areas bringing with it heavy rains its now heading north woods with the countrys most populous city in its path 18 people have been confirmed dead more than a dozen is still missing and more than a 1000000 have been ordered to evacuate their homes as the typhoon is.
