BBC World Service - Newshour, Fox settles ‘defamation trial of the century’

In a last-minute settlement before trial, Fox News agrees to pay $787.5m to Dominion

In a last-minute settlement before trial, Fox News agrees to pay $787.5m - about half of the $1.6bn initially sought by Dominion voting systems.

Fox News has settled a landmark defamation case brought against it over its reporting of the last US presidential election. It'll pay $787.5 million dollars to Dominion voting systems, which said the broadcaster had admitted to telling lies. Newshour hears from a former close colleague of Rupert Murdoch, Andrew Neil.

Also in the programme: Another promised humanitarian ceasefire in Sudan fails to materialise; and Ukraine's Eurovision contenders.
