BBC World Service - Business Matters, Trump to be charged over hush money

Donald Trump will be the first former US president to be indicted on criminal charges.

Former US President Donald Trump will be charged over hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election.

A New York grand jury has voted to indict former President Donald Trump on charges involving payments made to a porn star during the 2016 presidential campaign. He is being investigated over a $130,000 pay-out to Stormy Daniels in an attempt to buy her silence over an alleged affair.

Former Chief Executive Howard Schultz has been up in front of the US Congress defending claims made that they illegally fired pro-union baristas or spied on workers as hundreds of US stores organized unions starting in late 2021. We hear from a Starbucks worker on what the company claims really happened.

Spices are on the rise, and some are saying this is due to increasing health concerns, the effect of the pandemic forcing more people to cook at home, and even social media fads. We hear more from a farmer in California.
