Following the explosive revelations in the latest release of Epstein files, historian Andrew Lownie joins Sarah Vine to unpack what we know. The conversation covers the evidence that Epstein ran a blackmail operation with Russian intelligence connections, the wider royal family's knowledge of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's activities, institutional cover-ups, and whether King Charles will address the crisis. Lownie argues this scandal surpasses Profumo in scale and represents a grave threat to public trust in British institutions.

ON January 19th 2026, the showbiz and celebrity world was rocked by a series of Instagram stories from Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham.

There had long been reported a rift and unease between his parents, David and Victoria Beckham and that of his wife Nicole Peltz and her hugely wealthy and powerful family. Nothing however, prepared the world for what unfolded. Accusations of control and coercive behaviour, legal threats, displaced dogs and inappropriate wedding dances. To say it was a wild bolt out of the blue is an understatement. Celebrities simply don't behave like this in public... and certainly not the Beckhams.

In the episode of Deep Dive, the Daily Mail's contributing Editor Showbiz and podcaster Jamie East dissect the news and contemplate what impact this will have on Britain's unofficial Royal Family.

Political Reporter Jon Michael Raasch is joined by Chief Foreign Correspondent Andy Jehring, reporting from the Colombia-Venezuela border, to unpack the raid, the reaction on the ground, and what these events mean for the wider-region.

Former Vietnam War fighter pilot Raymond Wagner toggled the radio transmit button on the right hand side of his Boeing 747-121's control yoke. 'Clipper 103 requesting oceanic clearance', he intoned, using the modulated aviation voice he'd honed over several decades flying. On the other end was Alan Topp, the Scottish Air Traffic Controller working more than 50 miles away in Prestwick, west of Glasgow.The time was 6:58pm on December 21, 1988.They were the last words recorded from Pan Am Flight 103.Within five minutes of that transmission, all the passengers and crew aboard were dead, killed by a bomb that destroyed the aircraft as it flew over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. Large sections of the plane plunged 20,000ft and crashed into residential streets below.

270 people died that night: 243 passengers, 16 crew, and 11 Lockerbie residents.

Sir Mo is knighted – he's a four-time Olympic champion and national treasure. After years in the public eye, he confronts his complex past with a documentary that shocks the world and earns him a BAFTA.

But in doing so, he unwittingly thrusts Mohamed into the spotlight; at the very moment his namesake's life seems to be turning around.

Mohamed's Turkish visa expires and he's deported to Mogadishu – a city he fled 35 years ago and barely remembers. Alone, penniless, and held at gunpoint within weeks, he faces spending the rest of his life in one of the world’s most violent cities, separated from the rest of his family.

Then Sir Mo makes a dramatic intervention.

Mohamed and his mother are reunited in Nairobi after almost 30 years apart. They take journalists Andy and Kamal with them as they retrace the life they shared here – recounting difficult memories as refugees in an unwelcoming city and sharing one of their most painful experiences: the story of their separation.

As Sir Mo slowly lifted himself out of a difficult early life, Mohamed endured years of hardship. This is the story of their lives in the 30 years since that sliding doors moment.

In 1993, an 8-year-old Mo Farah arrived in the UK as a refugee from war-torn Somalia. It would only be revealed 30 years later, through a documentary of his own making, that the Olympic champion was brought to the UK illegally under a false identity. His real name: Hussein Abdi Kahin.

While the documentary uncovers an incredible story, it raises even more questions about the national treasure – and about the boy whose identity he was given. The other Mo Farah.

Journalists Andy Jehring and Kamal Sultan set out to discover what happened to Sir Mo's namesake. Their investigation takes them from Somali cafés in West London to the streets of Istanbul, Djibouti, Nairobi, and war-torn Mogadishu.
