Description

It’s been a week that saw Britain's king strip his brother Andrew – formerly Prince Andrew – of his last title and ask him to leave the Royal Lodge, just days after the release of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir. It's also been a week where Donald Trump and Xi Jinping met – Trump calling their 100-minute summit "an outstanding meeting"– as Beijing agreed to pause its rare-earth export curbs in a diplomatic truce. But also a week of horror in Sudan with door-to-door killings of unarmed civilians as paramilitary forces captured El-Fasher following a 500-day siege. And a week of devastation in the Caribbean, where a Category 5 hurricane ripped across islands, with Jamaica's prime minister warning it could be the "storm of the century".

Produced by Gavin Lee, Henri-Pierre Mafulu and Guillaume Gougeon.
