Despite the best legal representation money could buy, Russell Brand was sent down for over ten years yesterday after a jury UNANIMOUSLY convicted him of rape. Today, again despite a lengthy legal battle and costly high court injunction, David Walliams was outed as the celebrity who had threatened suicide after allegations about him surfaced.

Victims came forward in both cases to journalists, not the police first. Are we seeing a cultural sea change? Is this MeToo Two? Or did it never really go away? And why are so many whistleblowers and survivors being silenced through the civil courts? We ask Zelda Perkins - who blew the whistle on Harvey Weinstein.

We will bring you the Judge's sentencing of Russell Brand in the minutes after it happened - but we start with the White House where Trump's response to election wipe out is to double down. Why has he brought in the advocate of the mass deportation strategy to be his Chief of Staff? And is Trump's America about to get even harder right? We ask the MAGA architect, Steve Bannon, about the results, the Republican party and his own relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The Democrats led a ‘blue wave’ across America, taking control of both the Senate and the House in Congress, and leaving Donald Trump all but powerless in his remaining two years in the White House. Trump may have been defanged and neutered by the results of the midterms, but that man will be the “backseat driver” of the Republican Party for many years to come.

This Friday, Mehdi Hasan joins Lewis to dissect where it all went wrong for Donald Trump, and why, even after he leaves the White House, Trumpism is here to stay – and likely to get more extreme.

What really happens behind closed doors at one of the biggest football clubs in the world?

Two disastrous Premier League seasons. More than £500 million spent on transfers. Three managers in a matter of months. Tottenham Hotspur needed more than a change of manager — they needed a complete football reset.

In this special episode of The Sports Agents, Spurs CEO Vinai Venkatesham takes Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman inside the boardroom to reveal the decisions, difficult conversations and extraordinary challenges involved in rebuilding a Premier League giant.

From Daniel Levy's departure and the sackings of Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor to appointing Roberto De Zerbi, Vinai explains what went wrong at Tottenham, how major transfer decisions are made and why the club's football operation needed such a radical overhaul.

Plus, the challenge of replacing Harry Kane, the next generation of Spurs talent, and what it will take to restore Tottenham to the top of English football.

An inside look at the money, power and personalities shaping the future of Tottenham Hotspur — and what it really takes to run a Premier League club.

Russell Brand was today convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy has said today that Brand is a "danger to women", the Met Police have said that two further rape allegations are being investigated, and the judge presiding over Brand's case has said his sentence - on Monday - will be "significant".

The Met says the comedian turned MAGA Christian podcaster "used his influence, status and fame to sexually offend against women." Jon and Emily talk to Andy Hughes, co-host of The Crime Agents, about how the conviction was secured and how Brand tried to get his own trial thrown out.

Later, how the battle to replace Trump has already begun - and why the Democrats are tempering their messaging in the first few days following that stunning election night.

After a night of electoral disaster, Trump has finally appeared before the world media to offer up his thoughts on...you’ve guessed it...the ballroom. Is he just going to pretend last night didn’t happen? Who’s going to get the blame in his inner circle? And will democrats resist the urge to sound punchably smug after their blue wave?

As we come off air at 1am the Democrats have just taken the house and the senate - flipping seats in the unlikeliest of places - Texas, South Carolina, Iowa and even Maine.

It’s an absolute blue blow out, and a repudiation of Trump which even he is finding hard to ignore. So what will happen to MAGA now - and to Trump himself?

Lewis is with the crowds celebrating in Texas, whilst Jon and Emily are watching the door of the White House slowly open and close in the darkness.

59 million Americans have already gone to the polls ahead of election day - but tonight we find out if those predictions of a Blue Democrat wave are actually right. We’re joined by Piers Morgan to analyse where the MAGA movement is now. And we get his predictions for the races ahead.

"If we lose Texas, we lose America." Those are the words of Ken Paxton, Trump's scandal-plagued candidate for the Texas Senate seat. He shouldn't be having to issue that warning. Texas has always been Trump county - there is no clear path to the White House for the Republicans without it. And yet, if the polls are right, the Democrats could be on course for an historic victory.

James Talarico has electrified voters with his brand of Christian populism, and even he seems more interested in criticising Elon Musk than Donald Trump. Is this the last stand for MAGA? And why are so many Texan Republicans starting to think about life after Trump? Lewis has a special report from Texas.

The News Agents are in Washington DC to begin their week of midterms coverage - and there's a huge story out of Michigan - as Democrat Haley Stevens switched sides this weekend to support the Republicans instead of fellow dem Abdul El-Sayed in the race for the Senate.

Stevens has long had a problem with El-Sayed - the man who defeated her in the Michigan primary for Senate. But her move yesterday left Democrats spitting blood.

Does Stevens have a point when she talks about the anti-semitic rhetoric that surrounds parts of his campaign? Or has she just blown her moral high ground by siding with a Trump puppet who has peddled in Islamophobia? And how much does this Michigan row reflect what’s happening more widely in the Democratic Party?

Later, the latest New York Times polls are looking a little too good for the Democrats. Will this make it harder to get out the vote? And how much leeway should we allow pollsters for their much vaunted “margin of error“?

Trump's popularity is at record lows. What impact will this have on Americans going to vote in the midterm elections next week? Today we lay out the races to watch on Tuesday night, and ask whether Congress could really go Democrat. What will that mean for American foreign policy, for us, and for the presidential race of 2028? We’re joined by Miles Taylor - Trump's former state department Chief of Staff - now wanted for treason by the president.
