How does someone stop being a prince? The UK's King Charles has announced that his brother Andrew will no longer have this or any of his other titles after public pressure over his links with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He will also have to vacate his royal mansion in Windsor.

This is a rare move in royal history. In this episode we break down the main points and take a closer look at the people key to the story: the former prince; the King; Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, a victim of sex trafficking who alleged Andrew had sex with her three times as a teenager and whose memoir was recently published.

Sumo is Japan’s national sport. Its origins go back more than 1,500 years, and it rarely leaves Japan. But some competitions are starting to tour - including The Grand Sumo Tournament, which recently happened in London. Wrestlers often start training from a very young age, and training is intense. It involves building strength and fitness - and eating. A lot. They consume around 10,000 calories a day.

The BBC’s Mariko Oi is from Japan. She talks us through all we need to know about the sport. We also hear from 21-year-old Aonishiki Arata. He’s one of Ukraine’s top wrestlers and now lives and trains in Japan. And two fans share why they love the sport.

The White House, in the heart of Washington DC, has housed American presidents for more than two centuries. But now, the East Wing of the famous complex has been torn down by President Donald Trump.

He says he’s replacing it with a huge ballroom to host events. The administration hasn’t revealed plans for it just yet, but the latest estimated cost its around $300m.

So did President Trump have permission to partially demolish the building? What do people think about it? We speak to BBC reporter Sakshi Venkatraman, all the way from New York. She also explains how President Trump isn’t the only one who has made changes to the presidential residence over the years, but he’s already made a few since moving back in.

In August, China launched a new “K visa”, to attract young science and technology graduates. It came into effect on 1st October 2025 and although there isn’t a lot of information about what the visa will allow people to do, it’s getting a lot of media attention. Many people in China aren’t happy about it. That’s because millions of Chinese graduates can’t find jobs and there are worries over preferential treatment for foreigners.

Mengchen Zhang, from the BBC’s Global China Unit, joins Hannah in the studio to explain what we know about the K visa, why the Chinese government has introduced it and why it’s so hard right now for Chinese grads to find work. We also discuss Chinese work culture, including the new concept of 007.
