Maxwell, a British socialite, was alleged to have recruited, groomed and travelled with young girls who were raped by Epstein and his associates, according to prosecutors in New York. She was arrested nearly a year after Epstein allegedly killed himself in jail while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. The Duke of York has previously been targeted by former US attorney Geoffrey Berman - who was recently and controversially removed from his post by US attorney general William Barr - over allegations that Andrew has refused to co-operate in the case. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) will [lift its no-go warning]( from dozens of holiday and business destinations on Saturday but the quarantine arrangements for returning travellers are in disarray, with England diverging from the other UK nations. The government currently has a “double lock” in place designed to prevent overseas tourism and business travel during the coronavirus crisis. The FCO advice against non-essential travel anywhere overseas has prevailed since 17 March. All travellers arriving in the UK have had to self-isolate for two weeks since 8 June. But a late night government statement said: “The FCO will set out exemptions for a number of destinations from its global advisory against ‘all but essential’ international travel, with changes coming into effect on 4 July.” Products from Japan or South Korea would be stamped [“Made in Britain”](under Boris Johnson’s plan to save the domestic car industry after Brexit. The proposal is an attempt to prevent punishing tariffs driving away the likes of Nissan and Toyota but will sound “ridiculous” to voters promised huge benefits from leaving the EU, one trade expert said. It also means the UK is effectively asking the EU for the benefits of a customs union, new analysis says, despite the prime minister insisting the UK is leaving the trading arrangement.
