In Politics: (8:42) Peter Mandelson was always a snake but snaked a bit too much when he allegedly shared information with Jeffrey Epstein. As the Red Tories reel in the scandal, it must be acknowledged that maybe, just maybe, UK Politics is corrupted to the core. (Article by Alan Rusbridger)

In Life: (24:50) Something I have been saying for years is that a war for water is coming. So let's drill into why and how soon it could happen. (Article By Peter Frankopan)
