[applause] >> good morning. can everyone hear? i'm sufficiently micced up. my name is kai bird. this panel is sponsored by the leon levy center for biography which is a very unusual thing. our whole thing is to defend and promote the art and craft of biography. i've spent the last few decades doing only biography. i'm obsessed with it. so i'm glad to see so many fans here of biography. i want to say to those americans who are not here something important, something heart felt, perhaps something a bit provocative. i want to say that if you're not reading biography, you're not trying to understand your world. now, i know

, but what contact was there, if any, with virginia roberts? in what way does he credibly deal with her allegations of sexual contact? we will have to wait and see. it is important to say, of course, that all along, buckingham palace has absolutely categorically denied any impropriety and all of that. but we need to hear it from andrew's own mouth later on tonight. the other aspect of this is his friendship withjeffrey epstein. as he acknowledges, that's where he is caught out, there is really no mitigation that he can find for that, for visiting and continuing a friendship with a man who, by 2010, was a convicted child sex offender. now, andrew is already on the record as saying that he went to new york to see him to break off the friendship. quite why you need to stay for several nights in his mansion in new york in order to break off a friendship is one of those questions. but we need to hearjust how authoritatively and with what degree of conviction he actually deals with these issues in the interview tonight. and the phrase "let the side d

virginia roberts' legal team has responded to the interview. they say they want prince andrew to speak under oath rather than giving statements to the media. sarah ferguson has offered her support to her former husband on social media. writing on twitter, she said the duke was a "true" and "honest" gentleman, able to "speak from the heart" and, on her instagram account, she wrote that she "would be with him every step of the way." i'm joined now by emily maitlis from newsnight, this is quite a coup. the obvious question, why now? as you well know, television news looks as if it is spontaneous and happens very quickly on the spur of the moment that it doesn't actually. there were months of planning with the palace about an interview have some kind with the duke of york for pretty much a year. it was raised more recently in may before epstein was arrested and charged. following his death in a prison cell in new york in august, there was a sense that things had intensified. they began to understand the depth and scale of the exploitation and abuse

now it was robert says at one occasion in london they dined together they went to a nightclub called tramp's where they danced together he bought her drinks she also says she didn't remember the prince sweating profusely she says that in what they then went back to that townhouse where the photo was taken where they had sex now the princess all of this he denies all of this let's have a listen to what he said there are a number of things that are wrong with that story one of which is that is that i don't know where the bar is in terms. of i don't drink. have a peculiar move provision which is that i don't sweat or i didn't sweat at the time and that was. yes i didn't swear that on because i. had suffered what i would describe as an overdose of adrenalin the falklands war when i was shorter. so some rather bizarre rebuttals to the princes also faces pretty facing criticism for staying in contact with jeffrey epstein after he was convicted of sex offenses back in 2006 now in 2010 prince andrew attended a dinner in new york to celebrate the release of epstein from prison he also went on

now it will shift to the senate for a trial with chief justice roberts presiding. what will those rules be? how will john roberts handle an effort by democrat ifs the senate to command the appearance at a trial of any of the people that you've just identified? . ut th put that on the radar screen. >> that is a good one. so you're saying that justice roberts will be the arbiter of whether or not giuliani has to show up? >> remember alisyn that the constitution really says next to nothing as to how a senate trial will be conducted. only that there will be a senate trial conducted. so mitch mcconnell is going to have a lot of control in terms of establishing what those rules might be. but i think it's entirely foreseeable that democrats in the senate will try and seek to feign some leverage from roberts and force the hand of a witness to come in and testify. >> we'll talk much more about this, but it's highly likely that mcconnell and schumer will come together and set the rules that will be voted on before john ronberts walks in that doo because they toedon't want to
