Lawyers for Monica Lewinsky, the woman alleged to have had an affair with President Clinton, have given prosecutors an outline of her story. Miss Lewinsky is trying to win immunity from criminal prosecution in exchange for telling prosecutors everything she knows about her relationship with the President. Mr Clinton has denied any sexual relations with the former White House intern. Here's our Washington correspondent, Katty Kay:

Monica Lewinsky's lawyer handed over the outline saying the ball was now in the prosecutor's court. He's hoping they will come back with an offer of immunity from criminal prosecution, based on whatever information Miss Lewinsky says she will provide.

The prosecutor's office is still sorting through other evidence related to the case, including telephone logs and gifts Miss Lewinsky says the President gave her. But the White House is stepping up its own public relations drive.

Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear soon on American television. She has been leading the effort to defend her husband's reputation.

Mrs Clinton stood next to the President as he made his most vehement denial yet of ever having had any sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. That denial preceded tonight's annual State of the Union address, when Mr Clinton isn't expected to talk about this scandal.
