President Trump's former lawyer calls him a liar, conman and cheat

BBC World Service - Business Matters, President Trump's former lawyer calls him a liar, conman and cheat

Michael Cohen told Congress that Trump directed lies.

Donald Trump has been accused by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, of knowing in advance that hacked Democratic Party e-mails were going to be released during the 2016 election. We get the latest on his dramatic testimony to Congress from Politico's Daniel Lippman.  President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will begin their second day of talks in Hanoi in a few hours. The BBC's  Jonathan Head is in Hanoi watching for us. India has demanded the release of a fighter pilot shot down by Pakistan warplanes in a major escalation between the two nuclear powers over Kashmir. Madiha Afzal, Visiting Fellow at the Brookings institution think tank in Washingon, gives us the history of this long running conflict. A study by University College London suggests that if you are a woman that works long hours, you are more likely to feel more stressed or even depressed than your male colleagues. We hear from the report author Jill Weston.

All this and more is discussed with our two guests throughout the show: indepedent economist Andy Xie, in Shanghai. And environmentalist and lawyer  Maya van Rossum, in New York.
