Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was arrested last week in a move that many who have been following the release of the Epstein files and the collection of court cases that have been brought up in relation to matters around the former Prince Andrew and his dealings with the late convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, never thought would come.

This arrest, linked to alleged documents and information shared with Epstein while Andrew worked as an offical trade envoy, is now being investigated by police int he UK who on Andrew's birthday, searched his home at Sandringham and other properties linked to the former prince.

Today we cross to the UK to see exactly what's gone down over the weekend and how the British royals are responding to the controversy.

And in headlines today, London police officers assigned to King Charles' younger brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were instructed to provide security for a dinner ‌party at Jeffrey Epstein's residence; The federal opposition is calling for laws to be tightened to stop an Islamic State-linked cohort from obtaining passports and returning to Australia; Communities could be cut off and large parts of Australia disrupted by severe thunderstorms forecast to dump hundreds of millimetres of rain; Melbourne schoolgirl Indra Brown has missed out in her quest to become Australia's youngest Winter Olympic medallist at just 16, ending up an excellent fifth in the freeski halfpipe finals; William Shatner, best remembered as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek TV series is now turning - at the age of 94 - to heavy metal music
