BBC World Service - Business Matters, White House Deny Wrongdoing after Cohen Plea Deal

President Trump has denied the allegations made by his former lawyer

President Trump has denied the allegations made by his former lawyer.

President Trump has strongly denied using election campaign finance to make payments to two women who say he had affairs with them. We hear from Daniel Lipmann, co-author of the daily newsletter Politico Playbook. Venezuelans have been fleeing their country as the economic crisis there gets worse, with thousands arriving in neighbouring Colombia and Brazil. Dr Asa Cusack from the Latin America and Caribbean Centre at the London School of Economics tells us about the refugees. We hear about a Canadian father who decided to challenge a fast food company about only having nappy changing facilities in the ladies toilets. Also in the programme, who is who is winning this trade war between the US and China? A question for Andrew Gilholm, Director of Analysis, China and Korea, for Control Risks. New laws being proposed in England would mean pet shops will not be allowed to sell kittens or puppies - in an attempt to stop animals being raised in poor conditions. Our reporter investigates if this means the demise of the traditional pet shop.

We're joined throughout the programme by Emily Feng, China correspondent for the Financial Times in Beijing and Laura Lynch, correspondent for CBC News in Vancouver.
