of the death by an apparent suicide of disgraced billionaire financier geoffrey epstein has prompted 3 separate legal bodies to open investigations into his death the alleged victims have also expressed outrage at not being able to confront him in court. i can tell you that on behalf of the victims i represented there's a certain amount of shock and disbelief that the federal authorities could allow something like this to occur under their watch we find it very hard to believe that he would be allowed to commit suicide especially when he was on suicide watch from just a few days ago the 66 year old was found dead in a new york city jail cell on saturday the high powered investor was accused of having sexually abused and polished women and girls as young as 14 on suggests that his palm beach villa the case has been fueled by epstein's connection to not only public figures including former u.s.

presidents bill clinton as well as current president donald trump but also british royal prince andrew challenges were already brought against him in 2008 a controversial plea deal spares him time in prison and the media frenzy surrounding the case shows no sign of calming down there are several unanswered questions at this time mr epstein had previously been on suicide watch following another incident a couple of weeks ago in which he sustained injuries to his neck the authorities were already investigating how he came to receive those injuries at that point in time he had been placed on suicide watch but the associated press reporting today. that mr epstein had been removed from suicide watch before he was found unresponsive his death came amid further explosive allegations involving prominence world leaders and american businessman. well for more on this i'm joined now by. fully aaliyah's who is in washington hello to you pablo so all these and unanswered

questions about jeffrey epstein have led to all sorts of rumors and conspiracy theories what exactly is most of the speculation centering on. well you know as you can imagine here it's really dominating the news now and it's also being at further fueled by the fact that at the new york times has actually released. an article today in which it says that the guards were supposed to check jeffrey epstein every half hour and also just a few days ago the jail had also transferred his cell mate leaving him alone now also let's let's just recap a little bit let's not forget that there is an investigation underway at the moment by the f.b.i. and of course the inspector general and what is key here is that the indictment against jeffrey epstein last month which not only included sex trafficking charges

also included a conspiracy charge which implicates perhaps other people you know in those charges and opens up the possibility for perhaps quite prominent members of the world of entertainment of politics even to be somehow implicated now also we have to mention of the fact that the current president donald trump tweeted some quite. direct accusations against former president bill clinton in those tweets it says jeffrey epstein had information on bill clinton and now he's dead in another retreat he said documents were unsealed yesterday revealing that top democrats including bill clinton took private trips to jeffrey epstein's peta feed. and then former new york mayor rudy giuliani said who

was watching what does the camera show follow the motives so all of this is fueling as you can imagine online on social media a lot of questions over how in fact jeffrey abstain and who just several weeks ago we heard in the report there. he was also apparently had attempted suicide managed just weeks later and his own life so as you can imagine marianna everybody is talking about it here. all right well probably what about epstein's alleged victims how have they been handling the news of his death. one of dismay disappointment but also it seems that they are only willing to give up in their in their fight for justice like i mentioned before the fact that there is the potential for charges to be brought against people involved in some way in those charges that were originally brought against jeffrey epstein as

opposed gives hope to some of those accusers many of their lawyers have come out saying that they are going to continue with the fight and once again like i said there's an investigation underway at the f.b.i. is continuing to investigate and the inspector general general is also investigating so this is not the end of the jeffrey epstein story. reporting from washington preceded it. thanks marianna let's get a quick check now of some of the other stories making news around the world russia has told you tube to delete all videos of anti-government protests in moscow it said failure to remove them would amount to interference in its internal affairs thousands of russians have been taking to the streets in the past month demanding free and fair city elections in moscow police have responded with a crackdown on protesters and mass arrests. ukraine has protested against russian
