Just over a week ago President Trump ordered China to shut down its consulate in Houston, Texas. He suspected they were spying on Americans and stealing intellectual property. Within hours consulate staff started burning and destroying documents.Neighbours called the fire service but they weren’t allowed into the building. Whatever staff couldn’t burn, they took away in trucks and cars. Three days later, China hit back - closing the U.S. consulate in Chengdu. So what goes on at these consulates and how many so-called diplomats are actually spies?

Jeffrey Epstein’s former employer who worked with him for nearly a decade in the 1980s and 1990s tells Nexus extra everything he knows about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He says he refused their advances to recruit him. He also talks about “paedophile Island”, and the money, sex tapes, Robert Maxwell, and Israeli intelligence. Not to mention Bill Clinton…​

Well it sounds simple, all the U.S. government has to do is keep Ghislaine Maxwell alive until her trial next year, and yet there are plenty of reasons to fear she may never make it to court; just consider how easily her ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in jail almost exactly a year ago. Maxwell’s being held at a different detention centre in New York, but it still has a terrible reputation and houses all sorts of suspects including alleged murderers, sex offenders, and terrorists. The fear is that Maxwell, who’s accused of grooming young girls to be sexually abused by Epstein, could either kill herself, or be attacked by another inmate. Her lawyers worry she might even catch Covid-19 - they requested bail on that basis but bail was denied, her trial set for July 2021.

It’s been six months since the first coronavirus case was identified OUTSIDE of China. A 61 year old woman flew directly from Wuhan to an airport in Bangkok and was tested positive on January 13th. More flights from China continued to spread the virus around the world and the WHO declared a pandemic two months later on March 11th. More than half a million people have died with Covid-19 in just six months. Over that period we’ve talked to all kinds of people involved in scientific research covering vaccines and treatments and we’re going to look at what they told us at the time and compare it to how things have turned out months down the line.

Ghislaine Maxwell has always lived the high life but now she has been brought low. Sitting in a jail in New York - she awaits trial - accused of grooming young girls to be sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. If found guilty, the 58 year old could spend the next 30 years in a U.S. prison. A daunting prospect for a woman who’s known nothing but privilege. Her father was the notorious billionaire Robert Maxwell - her friends include Prince Andrew. She’s spent her entire life close to the rich and famous. And now she must answer in court - for her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

This is an intriguing story about how race and racism is covered by the media in the United States - especially since the killing of George Floyd - and it starts with a noose being found in a garage used by Bubba Wallace. He’s the only black driver in NASCAR, which is one of America’s top motor sports. The noose is a symbol and reminder of slavery, lynching and segregation and with that in mind, NASCAR reacted by calling it a “heinous act” and then called the FBI who immediately sent 15 agents to the scene. The FBI discovered it was actually a rope for pulling down the garage door - and that it had been up for months, well before the garage was assigned to Bubba. It was not, they determined, a crime. But by then some in the media had already run with the story and offered it up as more evidence that America was deeply racist. ​

Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of Hong Kong? Many people who live on the island fear we are.They say China’s plan to introduce a new so-called “security law” will end the freedom they’ve enjoyed for decades and will make them as oppressed and monitored as people on the mainland. And this could all happen within days, in fact China’s parliament is expected to pass the law before the end of this month. Totally bi-passing Hong Kong’s own legislative council. Britain, the former colonial ruler of Hong Kong - is concerned and Prime Minister Boris Johnson says his government is willing to offer a “path to British citizenship” to 3 million people on the island if the law goes ahead. Can China be stopped? Will there be a Hong Kong exodus? And will Britain be better or worse off?

Joe Biden's no stranger to presidential campaigns. He's tried twice before but has never got as far as he has this time around. So could 2020 be Biden's? Or has he left it too late

More than 30 years after he first ran for president, things are looking up for Joe Biden, a CNN poll last week put him 14 points ahead of Donald Trump - with just 5 months to go till the election in November. The Trump campaign called the poll totally biased but if you do believe their survey, this election is Biden’s to lose.... And that’s not out of the question.​ He’s by far the more popular candidate amongst black Americans but scored a massive own goal last month by saying; if you don't vote for me 'you ain't black' That upset a lot of people as did his reluctance to apologise for his tendency to touch women and girls in a way that some find unsettling. And then there’s his age, at 77 he doesn’t like to be challenged about his mental and physical abilities - but is it a legitimate question? And speaking of running, who’ll be his running mate? He’s pledged it will be a woman but which one?

The killing of George Floyd by a white police officer last month in the United States has sparked global protests. For George Floyd’s loved ones, it’s a sad and tragic time and you’d think that no one would contradict their account of him as a gentle giant and a devout Christian. But you’d be wrong. A leading Conservative political activist - Candace Owens has called Floyd a “horrible human being” on Facebook. Her video has had more than 85 million views. In the video she argues Floyd was a career criminal who shouldn’t be made into a black hero or a martyr - she also says the notion of widespread racist police brutality is a myth. This is a woman with important connections and political aspirations who claims to be trying to lead black people to a better future… but is she?
