Court reporting supplied The Mirror's most watched new upload, but the questions facing Washington after the midterms are drawing the most views each day among its currently busiest videos.

The channel's report on Russell Brand's conviction has reached roughly 54,000 views. It brings together the verdict, a Crown Prosecution Service statement, an interview with Metropolitan Police investigator Andy Furphy and recordings of Brand's police interviews. The report says a Southwark Crown Court jury convicted him of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Brand was remanded in custody pending sentencing.

A follow-up covers police appeals for anyone with further allegations to come forward. Elsewhere in the week's court coverage, The Mirror posted a hearing in which Vickrum Digwa's attempt to reduce his minimum prison term failed and the Court of Appeal increased it instead.

Across 15 uploads, the subjects stretched beyond the courts. "Epstein files, US Budgets, Iran war - What happens NEXT after the Blue Tsunami" examines the consequences of Democratic midterm gains. It currently draws a larger daily audience than either Brand report. Domestic coverage includes the Bank of England's rate rise and a Sense Check discussion with political editor Lizzy Buchan and Nicola Thorp about changes to migrant settlement rules.

The subscriber audience grew over the week, though daily views are now around a third of their usual level. Among nearby news peers, Daily Express had a busier week for views, while The Scottish Sun was quieter. For The Mirror, the week's strongest new-upload total belongs to court reporting; its most active viewing has shifted towards the post-election questions.
