Footage shows the pedophile at Trump’s 1993 wedding and the two attending a Victoria’s Secret fashion event in 1999

Newly uncovered photos and video footage published by CNN show more links between the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, including Epstein’s attendance at Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples at the Plaza hotel in New York in 1993.

The media organization said on Wednesday that Epstein’s attendance at the wedding ceremony was not widely known.

Organisations working on route used by people trying to reach Europe say they are punished for saving lives

Italian officials have detained NGO rescue vessels five times in the past six weeks, as campaigners criticise an escalating crackdown they fear will lead to more fatalities on one of the world’s deadliest migration routes.

On Tuesday the Berlin-based NGO Sea-Watch received confirmation that its vessel, the Aurora, had been detained in Lampedusa for 20 days. It was detained after the vessel had helped to rescue about 70 people in international waters, many of whom had been suffering from fuel burns, seasickness and dehydration.

European leaders urge Ukraine to uphold EU standards after president backs legislation weakening anti-graft watchdogs

• Europe live – latest updates

European leaders piled pressure on Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday to reverse a contentious decision to weaken the powers of two anti-corruption agencies, as demonstrators took to the streets of Kyiv for a second day.

Ukraine’s European backers including Germany, France and Sweden raised concerns about new legislation, which the Ukrainian president approved on Tuesday night. They warned it could hamper Kyiv’s attempt to join the EU and hinder the fight against corruption.

David Lammy seemingly believes Israel and its supporters will always be able to act with impunity – but the status quo surely cannot hold

A terrible tipping point in Gaza has been reached. The number of people admitted to hospital or dying from starvation has surged. The journalists’ union for Agence France-Presse (AFP) has issued a statement warning that “without intervention, the last reporters in Gaza” will die of hunger.

This is horribly shocking, but it is no surprise: after all, we are now more than 140 days into Israel’s total siege on Gaza. In May, Israel abolished the UN’s effective method of delivering aid in favour of a dystopian system in which Palestinians are forced to compete for a trickle of often unusable aid, and are shot at while doing so. About 1,000 civilians have been murdered while seeking food since the end of May. “There is no case since World War II of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled,” declares Alex de Waal, one of the world’s leading experts on hunger. Under the Geneva conventions, “starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited”.

James Ijames was told Shakespeare wasn’t for the likes of him. Yet his Hamlet revamp electrified Broadway and scooped up Tony nominations. As Fat Ham hits the UK, he talks violence, vengeance, strongmen and joy

When he was still in his 20s and studying for a master’s degree in acting, James Ijames was advised to take a swerve away from all things Shakespearean. His tutors thought his southern accent, the product of an upbringing in North Carolina, was not conducive to declaiming Elizabethan verse. Believing them, he did just one professional Shakespeare production in 10 full years of treading the boards.

Now Ijames is righting that old wrong, although he does not see it quite that way. Fat Ham, his latest drama, is based on Hamlet and features a queer protagonist called Juicy, who is commanded by the ghost of his murdered father to avenge his death. Significantly, Juicy hails from a Black American family in North Carolina. “The thing I kept hearing over and over,” he says, “was that my regionalism – the slowness of my southern accent – would make it difficult for me to do Shakespeare. I did avoid it for those reasons. That’s a little bit of what’s in this. I wanted to take this thing I was told I couldn’t access and see if I could make it work for me.”
