Newsom's Dyslexia, Trump's Iran Role, Starmer's Social Media Crackdown

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused the Trump administration of a "cover-up" regarding files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a recent interview with the BBC. The accusation comes as millions of new files related to Epstein were released by the US Department of Justice earlier this month.

Clinton made the remarks during an interview in Berlin, where she attended the annual World Forum. She urged for the files to be released more quickly, stating, "Get the files out. They are slow-walking it." The White House responded to the accusations, insisting they had done "more for the victims than Democrats ever have" by releasing the files.

In other news, Donald Trump announced he would be "indirectly" involved in upcoming talks between Iran and the United States, scheduled to begin in Geneva. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump described the talks as "very important" and expressed his belief that Iran wanted to reach a deal regarding its nuclear program. The second round of talks follows repeated military threats against Iran over the country's crackdown on anti-government protests and the ongoing dispute over its nuclear program.

Meanwhile, in the political arena, California Governor Gavin Newsom, widely viewed as a potential Democratic presidential candidate, is making the case that he is not as liberal as his record might suggest. According to Fox News, Newsom is "riding a wave of interviews and podcasts, boosted by a new memoir, and trying to make the case" for his candidacy. The article also noted that Newsom opposes trans women athletes competing against men, a stance that sets him apart from many in his party.

Across the pond, six companies linked to Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, are being wound down, according to documents filed with Companies House. Ferguson is the director of all six businesses, which are due to be struck off the register in ten days unless legal cause is shown to prevent it. The firms' activities are unclear, although one is related to public relations and another to retail. Their closure comes in the wake of further revelations from the Epstein files, which suggest Ferguson told Epstein about her financial difficulties.

Finally, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to respond more quickly to close loopholes in laws designed to protect children online. According to BBC Technology, Starmer said the government had "won" the "battle" with X after threatening the platform over its AI assistant Grok creating non-consensual sexual deepfakes. The government's proposals also include a measure requiring tech giants to preserve all of the data on a child's phone if they die. Opponents have accused the government of "inaction" and called for Parliament to be given a vote on the matter.
