<p>Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny appeared on TV screen during a court hearing on Wednesday (Jan 10) for the first time since being imprisoned by Russian authorities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Navalny was&nbsp;transferred to a “special regime” penal colony, the highest security level of prisons in Russia, above the Arctic Circle last month. Previously, he had&nbsp;been imprisoned in the Vladimir region of central Russia, about 230 kilometres (140 miles) east of Moscow.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the hearing, where Navalny appeared via a video link, he joked if the prison department in&nbsp;Melekhovo had staged a naked party, referring to the gathering of scantily clad celebrities in Moscow last month that turned into a major scandal.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a message relayed on his Telegram app, Navalny said he had been shunted to a punishment cell for his attitude over a minor infraction.&nbsp;</p>

<p>”The thought that Putin will be satisfied with sticking me into a barracks in the far north and will stop torturing me in the punishment confinement was not only cowardly but naive as well,” he said in his usual sardonic manner.</p>

<p>Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of former US president Donald Trump, has faced criticism over a social media post about her husband Jared Kushner. In a post on X on Monday (Jan 8), Ivanka shared a video of Kushner promoting a go-getter attitude in a podcast. In the podcast with Lex Fridaman on Oct 11 last year, Kushner said, "I just think it’s just something where, if you want to accomplish something, you know, a lot of people, I hear, complain about what other people do or why it’s hard, or why it’s impossible."</p>

<p>“And again, I say this as somebody who has been so blessed with so many things in life, but when I’ve had challenges or things I’ve wanted to achieve, I just focus and say, ‘What can I do?’” he said</p>

<p>“I’ll read everything I can get my hands on. If I fail at one thing, if the door closes, I’ll try the window. If the window closes, I’ll try the chimney. If the chimney closes, I’ll try to dig a tunnel. It’s just, if you want to accomplish something, you just have to go at it,” Donald Trump's son-in-law added.</p>

<p>The last batch of documents related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was released on Tuesday (Jan 9). It's the fourth release of records related to the survivor Virginia Giuffre's case against Ghislaine Maxwell, the late financier's former girlfriend.</p>

<h2><strong>Who all were accused to be the traffickers?</strong></h2>

<p>The final set of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents revealed the plaintiff had accused Bill Richardson, Marvin Minsky and Les Wexner of sex trafficking her in a 2016 deposition.</p>

<p>The lawsuit, filed in 2015, was settled in 2017. Maxwell has since been jailed for 20 years for helping Epstein abuse young girls. Maxwell is appealing against her conviction.</p>

<p>These documents, unsealed as part of a court ruling, showed that Epstein paid&nbsp;Virginia Giuffre&nbsp;$15,000 to have sex with Britain's Prince Andrew in 2011.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/jeffrey-epsteins-court-files-unsealed-prince-andrew-and-clinton-emerge-as-big-names-676343">Jeffrey Epstein's court files unsealed, Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew emerge as big names</a></strong></p>

<p>Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied they had sex.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Giuffre was also directed to have sex with another prince, the unnamed owner of a large hotel chain and a billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, according to a transcript cited in the released documents.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were also mentioned in unsealed depositions by Maxwell and an Epstein accuser, Johanna Sjoberg.</p>

<p>Sjoberg said that Maxwell recruited her as a massage therapist while she attended Palm Beach Atlantic College in 2001.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Neither of the former US presidents is accused of wrongdoing in the depositions.</p>

<h2><strong>Did Epstein make sex tapes?</strong></h2>

<p>The filings also show that one accuser Sarah Ransome claimed to have seen sex tapes filmed by the disgraced financier.</p>

<p>She later said that she wanted to retract the allegations.</p>

<p>In one undated email from the released files included as evidence, Ransome says: "When my friend had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Richard Branson, sex tapes were filmed on each separate occasion by Jeffery [sic]."</p>

<p>Three other tranches of long-sealed Epstein court files were released last week. They, however, contained few details that weren't previously known.</p>

The last batch of documents related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was released on Tuesday (Jan 9). It's the fourth release of records related to the survivor Virginia Giuffre's case against Ghislaine Maxwell, the late financier's former girlfriend. Who all were accused to be the traffickers? The final set of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents revealed the plaintiff had accused Bill Richardson, Marvin Minsky and Les Wexner of sex trafficking her in a 2016 deposition. The lawsuit, filed in 2015, was settled in 2017. Maxwell has since been jailed for 20 years for helping Epstein abuse young girls. Maxwell is appealing against her conviction. These documents, unsealed as part of a court ruling, showed that Epstein paid Virginia Giuffre $15,000 to have sex with Britain's Prince Andrew in 2011.

Giuffre was also directed to have sex with another prince, the unnamed owner of a large hotel chain and a billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, according to a transcript cited in the released documents. Former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were also mentioned in unsealed depositions by Maxwell and an Epstein accuser, Johanna Sjoberg. Sjoberg said that Maxwell recruited her as a massage therapist while she attended Palm Beach Atlantic College in 2001. Neither of the former US presidents is accused of wrongdoing in the depositions. Did Epstein make sex tapes? The filings also show that one accuser Sarah Ransome claimed to have seen sex tapes filmed by the disgraced financier. She later said that she wanted to retract the allegations. In one undated email from the released files included as evidence, Ransome says: "When my friend had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Richard Branson, sex tapes were filmed on each separate occasion by Jeffery [sic]." Three other tranches of long-sealed Epstein court files were released last week. They, however, contained few details that weren't previously known.
