Today's Highlighted Video Story: Lawyers for Prince Andrew are arguing that the civil case against him brought by Virginia Guiffre should be dismissed at a hearing in New York.
They claim a 2009 agreement between Ms Guiffre and Jeffrey Epstein - which was unsealed earlier this week - means no more legal action against "any other potential defendants".
Ms Guiffre has claimed she was forced by Esptein to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 - claims the Prince strongly denies.
