Listen to the story

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate are in jail in the United States. They say the jail is very bad.

Before this, the brothers had a different life. They flew in private jets. They wore expensive jewelry with diamonds.

Now, the brothers are in solitary confinement. This means they stay alone in a small room most of the day.

The brothers went to court. They wore shackles on their hands and feet. They spoke to a judge about their jail conditions.

The brothers want to leave jail. But the judge did not make a decision yet. The judge will decide later.

The United Kingdom wants the brothers to come there. This is called extradition. Extradition means sending a person to another country for a court case.

The brothers are waiting to know what will happen next.
