Jailtime for Trump?

BBC World Service - Weekend, Jailtime for Trump?

Trump pleads not guilty for 2020 election charges.

Donald Trump, the former US President, was indicated this week on 2020 election charges. Professor Peter Trubowitz, director of the US Centre at the London School of Economics explains what it means, plus we profile the man who has the power to put Trump behind bars.

Also on the programme: three years on from the Beirut blast we hear from a Lebanese journalist who has followed the story from the start, and 'booktok' makes it onto the screen as a popular book on Tik Tok has been made into a film.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more is Nigar Goksel in Istanbul,Turkey project director for the International Crisis Group - an independent conflict prevention organization, and George Parker, political editor of the Financial Times newspaper.
