9:01 pm
and a hockey fan who spotted a cancerous mole on the neck of the opposing team's manager from the stands is being awarded a scholarship to medical school, in thanks for her life—saving intervention. we'll hear from them both this hour. hello, and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. if you have your company. a legal document which prince andrew's lawyer believes could stop a civil case against him in the us, has been made public. the duke of york, who isn't named in the document, has consistenly denied sexually assaulting virginia giuffre when she was 17. the document, which has been
9:02 pm
unsealed, is a settlement agreement between jeffrey epstein and virginia giuffre, also known as virginia roberts. it dismisses the case for damages brought by ms giufre, in return for the sum of $500,000, or £371,000. there was no admission of liability from epstein. it also adds that the document is a general release by virginia giuffre for any other person or entity who could have been included as a potential defendant, from all legal actions, including lawsuits — both state and federal. the agreement was overseen by the laws of florida, where it was agreed. it was signed by ms giuffre, who gave her address as being in new south wales, in australia. our legal correspondent dominic casciani has more details, he's been speaking to my colleague ben brown. so, this is a 12—page document signed in november 2009, which seems a whole world away, but you have to bear in mind
9:03 pm
the allegations virginia giuffre makes againstjeffrey epstein and people around him, including prince andrew, date back 20 years. now, this was part of her case where she was suing him in a court in florida. this is epstein. saying she been lured into a world of sexual abuse and she also had been abused by people around epstein and his closest confidantes. she talks about being abused by politicians and royalty who were not named in the document. she settled the case. she was paid about $500,000, about £371,000 by today's rates. in the document, this is the crucial bit, says she releases and forever discharges, in the legal language, epstein and any other person or entity who could have been a potential defendant in the action she was bringing in florida, and in doing so that she agrees not to bring any damages claim against anyone from the beginning of time effectively up until the date of that settlement. now the reason why this is important
9:04 pm
is because the prince's lawyers are going to go into court tomorrow in new york and say the plain language in this document makes clear that even though we say her allegations against the duke of york are baseless, she can't even try to bring them because she's effectively signed away her rights to sue anyone, so this is a really important document in this case. but the document really concerns allegations around what happened in florida, doesn't it? and geography�*s quite important here, isn't it? it could be. this is the really interesting thing about it, because ms giuffre�*s team seem incredibly confident that this document is going to be effectively irrelevant to their case. they've already said at legal filings before this release that when this document becomes public, as it has done today, it will be seen to be "outside the four corners of her case against prince andrew". it does not cover her claims against him — in particular
9:05 pm
she is alleging that she was abused by the duke of york in new york, in london and in the caribbean — nothing to do with florida, which is kind of the core of this case, and i think that's what's going to get argued about tomorrow. also, on top of that, the duke's lawyers are bringing all sorts of motions tomorrow in new york to have it thrown out. they're saying for technical reasons she can't bring that case since actually doesn't live in the us any more and they're saying effectively the whole thing will be stopped now but she is again saying, whatever this document says, we're happy for it to be unsealed because we say it is not actually stopping our case against the prince. prince andrew has consistently denied knowing virginia giuffre. here he is speaking to emily maitliss on the bbc�*s newsnight in 2019. i have no recollection of ever meeting this lady. none whatsoever. you don't remember meeting her? no. she says she met you in 2001, she dined with you, she danced with you, you bought her drinks, you were in tramp nightclub
9:06 pm
in london and she went on to have sex with you in a house in belgravia belonging to ghislaine maxwell. it didn't happen. earlier, i spoke to adam klasfeld, managing editor of the law & crime network in new york. i asked him first by both sides wanted to see this agreement unsealed. prince andrew's legal team thinks that this immunises him. it releases essentially anyone who is listed as an other potential defendant. that is, in extraordinary broad language, it could mean anyone. and the prince's lawyers argue that it includes him. from the beginning of the world to the present day. it's a general release. that's why they want this document out there. what ms giuffre�*s legal team is pointing to already is that the document does not
9:07 pm
mention prince andrew. it is signed in the southern district of florida, or was signed in the southern district of florida, in 2009. the jurisdiction question will indeed be very important, because we're already hearing ms giuffre�*s legal team argue that essentially the florida jurisdiction does not pertain to this case. this was a very similar argument on a very different level that happened in the case of ghislaine maxwell. there was a different non—prosecution agreement, on a criminal level, with the agreement that jeffrey epstein signed. and in that case as well, ms maxwell had argued that the existence of this non—prosecution agreement, meant to shield some co—conspirators, applied to her. do i assume from what you're saying that she was unsuccessful in making that claim? exactly. precisely. the federaljudge in new york found that that agreement did not apply
9:08 pm
because it was signed by federal prosecutors in florida. so that was a pre—trial ruling that paved the way for her trial. and you can easily see it being argued by ms giuffre�*s lawyers tomorrow that the same should happen regarding this civil agreement in 2009. two points that occur to me, listening to what you've said and what dominic was saying as well, in the immediate aftermath of the document being unsealed. one is very straightforwardly that this is an incredibly broad agreement. do courts tend to honour these kinds of agreements, or is there a bit of reluctance because, as you say, it even has the wording "from the beginning of the world" — which goes back considerably long before ms giuffre was even born. it sounds almost comical in the way it's framed. right, it is an extraordinarily broad agreement. and i asked an expert who i speak to quite often about these matters for his reaction.
9:09 pm
he said, by his reading of this agreement, that it would be possible to argue that if prince andrew were involved in a hit and run of ms giuffre during the relevant time period, that too would be immunised because the conduct isn't even specified. that's how broad this agreement is! sorry to interrupt you. i know you're pressed for time. just one more thought on this. is it possible that the kind of history of what's happened since in the united states — the metoo movement, the desire to bring people tojustice for historical crimes of sexual abuse. this is not a criminal application, this is a civil suing, but even so, that that might change the way that the court looks at agreements of this kind? well, that backdrop means that this will be a closely watched case. i expect tomorrow we're going to see judge kaplan really closely listening to the arguments on both sides, knowing that this has a massive international audience.
9:10 pm
but it's going to be confined largely to these technical issues. he said in the past, "let's cut the technicalities and get down to the substance." we are still at technical questions ofjurisdiction and release clauses, and they will be focusing on that with a global audience tomorrow. the uk prime minister, borisjohnson, says there is no reason for further coronavirus measures in england — despite the surge of coronavirus cases caused by the 0micron variant. the government insists it's determined to keep schools open. speaking at a vaccination centre on monday, mrjohnson said current measures — including mask—wearing in secondary schools, working from home where possible, and covid passes for some venues — are enough for now. 157,758 new coronavirus cases were recorded in england and scotland in the past 2a hours. 20,217 of those were in scotland, a record daily figure.
9:11 pm
data for wales and northern ireland won't come until after the new year holiday. in france, children aged six and over are required to wear facemasks on public transport, shops and in other venues. in the netherlands, the government has announced that schools will reopen next week, despite cases remaining high and in india, vaccinations have opened to 15 to 18—year—olds. but the country has recorded its steepest weekly surge in infections — almost tripling, with 130,000 new cases registered. let's start though in the uk, and our health correspondent catherine burns. hello, how do you do? how are you? happy new year. another day, another visit to a vaccination centre for the prime minister. how was that? easy. cos they're so good at it, you barely feel it! other parts of the nhs are really feeling it, though. we're hearing that around six trusts, including the united lincolnshire hospitals nhs trust, have declared critical incidents in the last few days. this happens when they're worried that they can't provide
9:12 pm
all the critical services they need to. looking at the pressures on the nhs in the next couple of weeks and maybe longer, looking at the numbers of people who're going to be going into hospital, it will be absolute folly to say that this thing is all over now bar the shouting. we've got to remain cautious, we've got to stick with plan b, we've got to get boosted. in other words, no new restrictions in england at the moment. expect to hear more focus on boosterjabs, though. and nhs staff could be redeployed to help the busiest areas. it's not unusual to hear that the nhs is under pressure in january. winter always brings with it extra patients, and covid is adding to that. this year, though, there's another complication — the number of staff who are off because of the virus. now it's understood several hospital chief executives in england are saying their trusts are under the greatest sustained pressure they've seen. there are now more than 111,000
9:13 pm
patients with covid in hospitals in england. that's up almost 70% in a week. i've spoken to staff who do find treating unvaccinated patientsl who are seriously unwell, l they do find that upsetting, particularly if, as from time to time, the patient says, i "actually i wish i'd been vaccinated all along." i so, we're not here tojudge, - we're here to treat and we'll treat whoever comes and requires our care and our attention _ there are some early encouraging signs, though. i was talking to london chief execs last week. what they were saying is they were seeing some very concerning daily increases of the numbers of people coming into hospital — 9%, 15%, 9% on the 27th, 28 and 29th of december. but interestingly, in the last two days, those numbers have dropped, the increases, to 1% and 2%. back to school this week and back to masks in classrooms for secondary pupils in england. this brings them into line with the rest of the uk.
9:14 pm
labour says there still isn't enough focus on fresh air in classrooms, though. we've known now for 18 months that it will be essential to make sure that classrooms are properly ventilated, yet all we've seen from the government are 7,000 devices to be rolled out across hundreds of thousands of classrooms across england. itjust isn't good enough. ministers will look at rules about masks in schools again at the end of the month. catherine burns, bbc news. sudan's political future is in turmoil after prime minister abdalla hamdok announced his resignation — just six weeks after being reinstated as part of a political agreement with the military. in a televised speech on sunday, mr hamdok said the country was at a "dangerous turning point that threatens its whole survival". sudan's forces of freedom and change said mr hamdok�*s resignation was a direct result of the military coup. emmanuel igunza reports.
