BBC World Service - BBC OS, Prince Andrew case to proceed

A civil suit alleges the prince sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre

Britain's Prince Andrew has failed in his bid to get a civil case which alleges he sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre dismissed. He has consistently denied the allegations. We explain why a US judge has allowed the claim to be heard.

The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is facing calls to resign following a gathering in the garden of his official residence which is alleged to have broken Covid restrictions. Mr Johnson apologised in parliament today, despite insisting that the event was "technically within the rules." We hear the latest, and get some reaction from the British public.

80 fact-checking organisations have sent an open letter to YouTube’s CEO calling on the video platform to take further action to fight disinformation. Our technology reporter will explain the changes they want to see.

And we’ll talk through the latest news on the coronavirus pandemic, with the help of one of our regular experts, Dr Maria Sundaram.
