The latest release of Epstein files has led to fresh accusations against Lord Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, while Norway's PM has agreed that the crown princess showed "poor judgement" in her contacts with the late sex offender. Meanwhile, the sports world has seen major developments, including Justin Rose's record-breaking win at the Farmers Insurance Open and Liverpool's Β£60m deal for defender Jeremy Jacquet.
The latest release of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has led to a flurry of news, with several high-profile individuals facing fresh accusations. Lord Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are among those in the spotlight, with Monday's papers leading with the story. According to reports, the latest files reveal new information about the pair's connections to Epstein.
In related news, Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr StΓΈre has agreed with Crown Princess Mette-Marit's own remarks that she showed "poor judgement" in her contacts with Epstein. The princess has previously spoken out about her regret over meeting with Epstein, and the PM's comments suggest that the royal family is taking the matter seriously.
While the Epstein fallout continues to make headlines, the sports world has seen several major developments. In golf, England's Justin Rose has clinched a dominant win at the Farmers Insurance Open, setting a new tournament record score in the process. Rose's victory is a significant one, and he will be looking to build on this success in the coming weeks.
In football, Liverpool has agreed a Β£60m deal with Rennes for defender Jeremy Jacquet. The player is set to join the Reds in the summer, and the deal is seen as a major coup for the club. Jacquet is highly rated, and his addition to the Liverpool squad is expected to strengthen their defense.
Meanwhile, Manchester City's collapse from a 2-0 half-time lead to draw 2-2 with Tottenham has been making headlines. According to MOTD pundit Danny Murphy, the team's second-half problem is not just a tactical issue, but rather a sign of complacency. "When you're 2-0 up at half-time, you've got to be able to see the game out," Murphy said. "City lost control and paid the price."
In Norway, the Epstein scandal has also had an impact on the royal family. Crown Princess Mette-Marit has faced criticism for her contacts with Epstein, and the PM's comments suggest that the royal family is taking steps to address the issue. "The crown princess has acknowledged that she made a mistake, and we agree with her assessment," StΓΈre said.
As the Epstein fallout continues to make headlines, it remains to be seen how the scandal will impact those involved. One thing is certain, however: the sports world will continue to provide plenty of excitement and drama in the coming weeks.
