Decision expected soon on Prince Andrew case

A US judge will decide "soon" whether a civil sex assault case against the Duke of York will be dismissed, following the latest hearing in New York. Prince Andrew's lawyer told Judge Lewis A Kaplan that the duke could be covered by a 2009 deal his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, made with Jeffrey Epstein. Ms Giuffre is suing the prince claiming he sexually assaulted her - when she was 17 and a minor in some US states. The duke denies the allegations.
