BBC World Service - BBC OS, Prince Andrew: Lawyers ask court to dismiss case

We bring you the latest on the sexual assault allegations against Britain's Prince Andrew

A court in New York is hearing arguments in a civil lawsuit against Britain’s Prince Andrew. He has consistently denied allegations by Virginia Giuffre that she was forced to have sex with him in 2001, when she was 17. We’ll get the latest on the proceedings and explain why his lawyers argue that the case should be dismissed because of a legal settlement she made with Jeffrey Epstein.

We hear about the wider implications for the tech world of the case of Elisabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder who has been convicted of defrauding investors. 

Our regular health expert, Dr Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease physician and scientist from the University of Toronto in Canada answers your questions about coronavirus.  And we hear from a resident in the city of Yuzhou in China, where authorities have put a million people into lockdown after just three asymptomatic Covid cases were discovered. 

And tennis world champion, Novak Djokovic will be able to play in the Australian Open this month after he was given a Covid medical exemption.  We hear reaction from tennis fans in Australia.
