Pressure on French Presidential Candidate to Withdraw

BBC World Service - Newshour, Pressure on French Presidential Candidate to Withdraw

French prosecutors probe payments to Francois Fillon's family

Prosecutors in France are reported to have widened their investigation into the financial affairs of the centre-right presidential candidate, Francois Fillon. They're already probing reports his wife earned €500,000 as her husband's parliamentary assistant, despite doubts about the work she did.

Also in the programme, anti-government protests in Romania grow. And could an acrimonious phone-call between Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull represent a souring in relations?
