reconstruction is saved, at least at the moment, for andrew johnson by andrew johnson being defeated and checked. but by the end of the year was clear there were many forces to undo reconstruction. this is a headline from the richmond whig at the killing of a black voter, and the headline was, one vote less. see that? that's what you got. general sheridan said if he had the choice of living in hell or living in texas, he would live in hell and rent out texas. and that's the story in virginia as well, terrorism and violence in tremendous array. take those states away from a majority of the black and white voters that supported reconstruction by intimidation, by violence, the rise of the klan. reconstruction would be on life support, even with the departure of andrew johnson it would be on the edge of failure. and we come to thaddeus stevens in the weeks before he died. he felt a deep sense of failure, not of the failure to convict johnson, but his believe that reconstruction as it had been set up, was not strong enough, would not last. to a reporter he would say, my only regret is tha

he always forgives andrew —— she always forgives andrew —— she always forgives andrew, he is her favouritesd she will not get involved. in the past, prince philip would be very involved and he was very strong about what is right and wrong, but he is 98. you will not get the same reaction as you used to. do you have a concern than that in a sense that something is slipping at the palace. we had the megan and harry interview a few weeks ago, one that was given despite advice. we were told the prince andrew rejected advice for this interview. now the palace has to pick up the pieces. is there a sense that this is partly because the greenness of advancing years, that the grip that was exercised centrally on what we used to call the firm has diminished? yes. we must just say that prince charles and the duchess of cornwall are terrific. prince william and kate middleton are terrific, so they are not all falling apart. each of the families have separate advisors. they try to put them all together but they didn't get on, so they all have separate advisors and they mirror the person they are looking

andrew says he has no memory of it.mp, a nightclub in central london, virginia robert says she was there with andrew one night in march 2001 stop she says they later had sex. andrew says he was with his family and he told the bbc‘s emily maitlis there is a medical reason why miss roberts's allegation cannot be true. she was very specific about that night. she described dancing with you. no. and you profusely sweating and that she went on to have... there is a slight problem with the sweating because i have a peculiar medical condition which is that i don't sweat, or i didn't sweat at the time. is it possible that you met virginia roberts, dined with her, danced with her in trouble, had sex with her on another date? no. do you remember meeting her at all? no. you can say categorically that you don't recall meeting virginia roberts, dining with her, dancing with eric trump before going on to have sex with her ina before going on to have sex with her in a bedroom at a house in belgravia. i can absolutely categorically tell

andrew yes.e to the institution know, damage to andrew yes. i don't know if you've heard the other responses this week do you think prince andrew would have come to this himself or come under pressure from the most senior members of his family? my guess is there would be a certain amount of pressure because with the domino effect in terms of his charities and sponsorship that cannot go on. charity saying they we re cannot go on. charity saying they were going to consider the position of patron, university of the united kingdom certainly five in australia, backing off from their support of the palace. it was falling apart so he really had no choice in orderfor these organisations to survive he needs to step ask that they can step forward and continue their good work. and they are doing very good work. and they are doing very good work. thanks very much indeed for your time. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening i

prince andrew is in new york.s videoed staying at the mansion of a convicted child sex offender called jeffrey epstein, who'd just been released from an 18—month prison sentence. andrew's presence gives rise to questions put to him by bbc newsnight‘s emily maitlis. but you were staying at the house... yes. ..of a convicted sex offender. he sighs heavily. it was a convenient place to stay. i mean, i've gone through this in my mind so many times. at the end of the day, um, with the benefit of all the hindsight that one can have, um, it was definitely the wrong thing to do. um, but, at the time, i felt it was the honourable and right thing to do. and i...i admit fully that...that...that my... ..judgment was probably coloured by my, um, tendency to be too honourable, but that's just the way it is. and then, there is andrew's alleged friendship with the then 17—year—old virginia roberts, who was on epstein‘s payroll. she's alleged andrew seduced her. she says she met you in 2001, she says she dined with you, danced wit

andrew is emphatic that he was at home.he says he had taken his daughter to th pizza restaurant invoking and surrey in the late afternoon. how had he managed to reer a sparific date so many ago? prince andrew: because going to pizza express in woking is an unusual thing for me to do. aoery unusual thing for me do. i've only been to wokingup a of times, and i remember it weirdly distinctly. asas soon omebody reminded me of it, i went, oh yes, i remember that. nicholas: in the united states, where jeffrey epsteined lived surrou by, by all accounts, a number of young women, a number say they were trafficked by him trform sexual favors. they say that andrew should repeat his testimony under oath. >> whether person is a prince or a pauper, if anyone has evidence or information that might be relevant to an investigation of a cri case, that person should provide it. nicholas: from those who have worked with andrew in the past, this into the from palace officials. --the sympathy from palace ofcials. >> w they may dering who made th

. >> andrew yang?etting ignored for some weird reason. >> andrew yang was the person that spoke the least during last night's debate. he didn't even get a question for the first 30 minutes of the debate, and then he ended up speaking just 6 minute and 53 seconds overall. >> trevor: wow, in a two-hour debate, andrew yang only got to speak for 6 minutes and 53 seconds. that's, like, nothing. there are rappers who speak more before their song even starts. uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, huh-uh, huh-uh huh. turn the base up, the headphones down. okay, yeah, yeah, turn it up again, yeah, yeah -- why didn't you figure this shit out before you started recording? why is this on the song? can you get a sueder? a little cold in here, yeah yeah. ( laughter ) i'm nominate saying andrew yang should get the same amount of coverage as the frontrunners but you have to admit it's strange he gets less attention than other candidates who poll lower than he does. michael bloomberg hasn't even entered the race and he has more attent

she's alleged that andrew seduced her.s accusers, virginia roberts, has made allegations against you. she says she met you in 2001. she says she dined with you, danced with you at tramp nightclub in london. she went on to have sex with you in a house in belgravia, belonging to ghislaine maxwell, your friend. your response? i have no recollection of ever meeting this lady. none whatsoever. you don't remember meeting her? no. it was in 2001, according to virginia roberts, that she had sex with andrew on three occasions, including one orgy. the palace has denied that. in 2008, epstein was convicted of procuring for prostitution a girl under the age of 18. he was sentenced to 18 months in prison. it was in 2010, after epstein had been released from prison, that andrew visited him in new york and stayed at his mansion. how does he explain that? the problem was the fact that once he had been convicted... you stayed with him. i stayed with him. and that's the bit that — that, as it were, i kick myself for on a daily basis, becaus

andrew says he was with his family.ld the bbc‘s emily maitlis, there's a medical reason why ms roberts' allegation cannot be true. she was very specific about that night. she described dancing with you... no. and you profusely sweating, and that she went on to have... there's a slight problem with the sweating, because i... i have a peculiar medical condition which is that i don't sweat or that i didn't sweat at the time. is it possible that you met virginia roberts, dined with her, danced with her in tramp, had sex with her, on another date? no. do you remember meeting her at all? no. you can say categorically that you don't recall meeting virginia roberts, dining with her, dancing with her at tramp and going on to have sex with her in a bedroom in a house in belgravia? i can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened. do you recall any kind of sexual contact with virginia roberts, then or at any other time? none whatsoever. the other key figure in all of this isjeffrey epstein, the new york financier who befr

pro andrew!y to new york to break up this friendship after epstein had been change, a convicted six offender, or as a prince put it, a man who behaved in a unbecoming manner. in 2006 with the warrant for epstein's arrest was issued, andrew ended all his contact with epstein. he ended it. so why four years later did he then feel they need to fly to ego, stay in a mansion with him, have a dinner party for four days and then say, i have to tell you it is inappropriate for us to be seen in public and when did he choose to do that? he went to central park, one of the most public places in new york to telling that. where he was photographed, and thus... do you think there is any hope as a result of this interview of the palace being able to regain any kind of initiative on this story because, it is going to be extremely hard. initiative on this story because, it is going to be extremely hardlj think it is a huge own goal and an own goal in that interview was that at the very end she gave him the chance

>> here's andrew. >> andrew. >> hi, i'm andrew. >> pleasure to meet you. >> why don't we head on in?ll right? you ready? >> yeah, let's do it. >> we just need to make sure that whatever we do today, it's tight and it's fast and you're on point, okay? >> yep. >> all right, let's get started. >> i'm ready. >> okay, we're rolling whenever you're comfortable. >> selling your car? then call 1-800-carcash. >> we're gonna stop. we're--we're gonna stop. that "selling your car" is too soft. >> all right. >> strong, andrew. [forcefully] selling your car? >> all right. selling your car? >> both: no. >> selling your car? >> now, instead of going down, i want you to stay up and strong all the way through. [forcefully] selling your car? >> selling your car? >> no. >> selling your car? >> both: no, no, no, no. >> gotta get it right. it's really about him getting his confidence. >> yeah. >> right? >> yeah, being comfortable. >> it's got to sound like you're pissed. >> okay. it--it takes a long time for me to get pissed, so... >> well, the boss is coming, and the boss is pissed, so it's not gonna tak

this is something that affects andrew. he is something that affects andrew.te is the main player in this. it is unfortunate in terms of the queen, it is her son and every mother, every parent, likes to believe their son and will support their son and asa son and will support their son and as a public face, a public gesture, we have seen the queen leaving church with andrew, smiling, chatting. she would do that. probably seething behind the scenes. so damage to the institution, no, damage to andrew, yes. borisjohnson has proposed major changes to national insurance which could amount to a multi—billion—pound tax cut if the conservatives win the election. the current threshold applies national insurance contributions when someone earns at least £8,628 a year. mrjohnson says he would raise the threshold to £9,500 which would mean a tax saving of around 85 pounds a year for every worker. and mrjohnson claimed the threshold might eventually rise to £12,500, which would mean a tax saving of more than 450 pounds a year. 0ur deputy political editorjohn piennar looks

so, what now for andrew?ountancy firm kpmg has said that it will not be renewing its support for its pitch at the palace scheme which encourages young entrepreneurs because of what it calls "adverse press scrutiny" around him. but the company says the decision was taken before the newsnight interview. in the last few minutes, gloria allred, the lawyer who is representing some of the alleged victims ofjeffrey epstein, spoke at a press conference in new york. i have called on him to voluntarily meet with the fbi and prosecutors who are investigating this criminal case in new york, and also to provide his deposition under oath in any civil case in which his testimony may be relevant to achieving justice for the victims. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. joining me tonight are the author and journalistjohn kampfner, and associate director of right—leaning think—tank the institute of economic affairs, kate andrews.

prince andrew sighs.s of staff walking around all the time. and i don‘t wish to appear grand, but there were a lot of people who are walking around jeffrey epstein‘s house. as far as i was aware, they were staff, they were people that were working for him, doing things. i, as it were, i interacted with them to say good morning, good afternoon, but i didn‘t, if you see what i mean, interact with them in a way that was, "what are you doing here, why are you here, what‘s going on?" but you‘d notice if there were hundreds of underage girls in buckingham palace... oh, god. ..wouldn‘t you ? but, sorry, you‘d notice if they were hundreds of underage girls injeffrey‘s house. wasn‘t there. not when i was there. now, he may have changed his behaviour patterns, in order for that not to be obvious to me. so, i don‘t... you know, this is... you‘re asking me to speculate on things that i just don‘t know about. you seem utterly convinced you‘re telling the truth. would you be willing to testify or give a statement under

so the fact that andrew's gone out.drew's gone out there are not made a great show of himself, not one many people over to his cause, that encourages those lawyers. in the interview he said if push came to shove he would co—operate with the fbi in the states. you can be sure those victims' lawyers will want to hold him to that claim. i think prince andrew said he would have to go through his own lawyers here, but what is our tv that you are willing to go, it looks like you have something to hide if you don't. and in the mail, prince andrew says he regrets not expressing sympathy to victims. with your background as a psychotherapist, what would that have done? i feel, psychotherapist, what would that have done? ifeel, given psychotherapist, what would that have done? i feel, given the interview was on saturday, broadcast oi'i interview was on saturday, broadcast on saturday, there were certain aspects of it that would lead to beforehand aspects of it that would lead to before hand and now aspects of it that would lead to

prince andrew: no. nicholas: it was in 2001, according to virginia hberts, that s sex with andrew on three occasions including one orgy. the palace has denied at. in 2008, epstein wasonvicted girl under the age of 18.tion a he was sentenced to 18 months in prison. it was in 2010 after epstein had been released from prison that andrew visit how does he explain that?. prince andrew: the problem was the fact that once he had been convicted, i stayed with him.e that is t that, as it were, i kick mysf for on a daily basis. it was not something that was becoming of aof membehe royal family. we try to uphold the highest standards and practices, and i let the sideown, simple as that. nicholas: but nothinabout this story is simple. jeffrey epstein can't answer questions. he took his own life in august. as for andrew, u.s. authorities t uld undoubtedly very much like to hear his acco everything he witnessed. nada:iclas witchell reporting. you can find out morebout what the duke of york had to say about his friend

we arejoined from our bureau by our reporter, andrew.programme about the extent of these protests, and overnight we have seen those battle scenes at the hong kong polytechnic. we are told now that students are clearing the area, there is a level of calm returning. what does it signify? is it simply the latest in an ongoing row now, in an all—too—familiar scene we have seen for several months? i think we have seen over the past week or so and escalation in violence that got worse about a week ago after a protester was shot, a teenager was shot with live ammunition. over the weekend we have seen a lot of violence in the universities, particularly in polytechnic university. police went in very early this morning, 5:30am hong kong time to start to clear out the protesters. the protesters have responded with an awful lot of petrol—bombs, reports of bows and arrows being used as relative by the police. schools are still closed here in hong kong. they closed last week. it is a difficult time now because we have got elections coming up, district

they say andrew should now repeat his testimony under oath. prince or a pauper, if anyone has evidence or information that might be relevant to an investigation of a criminal case, that person should provide it. and from those who have worked for the royal family and who are familiar with prince andrew, there is a feeling of weary resignation. who made the decision to put him on? did he make it himself? or did he seek advice within the palace? my guess is that he bulldozed his way in and decided that he was going to do it himself, without any advice. i'm truly grateful for the opportunity... it was supposed to be the interview which drew a line under the story for andrew and allowed him to move on. that moment is certainly some way off. there is no doubt that people close to prince andrew have been taken aback by the sheer intensity of the negative reaction to the interview. however, i understand that he stands by the decision to do it. people who know him say that he wanted to confront these issues head on. they feel that he did so with hones

andrew must know he's occasionally considerable gamble —— andrew must know he's taken a considerablerbiter, who was press secretary at buckingham palace. the conservatives have set out more details of their plans for immigration after brexit, saying migrants will be treated equally regardless of where they come from. the cost for migrants to use the nhs would also rise. labour, meanwhile, have pledged free dental care in england. let's speak to our political correspondent susana mendonca. what's different about what the conservatives are saying today? some of it is the same as what we have heard because we have a easily heard them before talking about the need for there to be equal treatment of eu migrants compared with migrants from other parts of the world, and the issue of having to have a job offer before you come here, that is something we have heard from them before. something thatis heard from them before. something that is different is this idea that the charge for using the nhs would be higher, so they are talking about how migrants coming here would have to pay instead of £

who has tweeted that andrew is a true and real gentleman.l interview in a bbc newsnight special — prince andrew and the epstein scandal. that's on bbc two tomorrow night at nine. labour has set out ambitious plans to provide free full—fibre broadband to every home and business in the country by 2030. jeremy corbyn says bt‘s 0pen reach broadband business would be brought into public ownership and the ongoing cost of providing the service would be partly funded by a new tax on technology companies, such as facebook and google. borisjohnson has dismissed the proposal as a "crazed communist scheme". here's our political editor laura kuenssberg labour has a big giveaway it hopes to connect with you. fast—fibre broadband for everyone everywhere, if they win, within ten years' time. another big intervention in the market, another expensive job for the state. labour's money man is adding the internet to rail, water, energy and the mail he would like to take into public hands. the way we'll do it is if we're putting that scale of public money and tax

so, what now for andrew? it will not be renewing its support for its pitch at the palace scheme which encourages young entrepreneurs because of what it calls "adverse press scrutiny" around him. the company says the decision was taken before the newsnight interview. nicholas witchell, bbc news. our top story this evening... police in hong kong have fired tear gas and rubber bullets as protesters try to escape a stand—off at a university. and still to come — a tiny book written by a teenage charlotte bronte will return to her home after it was sold at auction. coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news... we hearfrom eddiejones on that rugby world cup final, what he would have done differently and his future with england. it's a deadly fungal tree disease called ash dieback that's swept across europe and could wipe out most of the ash trees in britain. now scientists say there's new hope after a team from the royal botanic gardens kew identified the genes that provide resistance to ash dieback.

andrew is particularly prone to that. him some credit for attempting to face the music? no. we are seeing a culture of impunity. originally, whatever the situation, whatever he did or didn't do, in being photographed by epstein after he had emerged from jail as a convicted paedophile, he was essentially giving cover and credibility to him. one of the reasons i'm so angry about this, but also link it through to the campaigning we do our own mps accused of sexual misconduct who have not resigned, this is about organisations that reflexively protect their own, instead of actually dealing with the problem, looking at the victims unravelling. to stick with prince andrew, yes, jeffrey epstein was convicted. but you will know that we do have to be careful these days, don't we? about a lwa ys careful these days, don't we? about always believing the victims. i'm sorry to say it, but it is part of this discussion, isn't it? the numbers of people who have been proved to have make false accusations are vanishingly small. the number o

she says they danced together there, but andrew was emphatic that he was at home.d taken his daughter beatrice to this pizza restaurant in woking in surrey in the late afternoon. but how had he managed to remember a specific day so many years ago? because going to pizza express in woking is an unusual thing for me to do. a very unusual thing for me to do. i've never been... i've only been to woking a couple of times, and i remember it weirdly distinctly. as soon as somebody reminded me of it, iwent, "oh, yes, i rememberthat." in the united states, wherejeffrey epstein lived, to perform sexual favours, lawyers are saying andrew should now repeat his testimony under oath. whether a person is a prince or a pauper, if anyone has evidence or information that might be relevant to an investigation of a criminal case, that person should provide it. and from those who have worked for the royal family and who are familiar with prince andrew, there is a feeling of weary resignation. who made the decision to put him on? did he make it himself? or did he seek advice within the
