BBC World Service - Weekend, Trump to appeal against $83m damages award to writer

Jury orders Donald Trump to pay writer E Jean Carroll $83m in damages for defamation

Jury orders Donald Trump to pay writer E Jean Carroll $83m in damages for defamation.

Donald Trump says he will appeal against an order to pay $83m in damages for defaming the writer E Jean Carroll while he was US president. Ms Carroll had told a jury in New York that Mr Trump had destroyed her reputation by claiming she had lied about him raping her in the 1990s.

Also in the programme: Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk attempts to liberalise abortion law; and the secret to a good cup of tea - salt.

Joining Julian Worricker on the programme are environmental journalist and author Gaia Vince and Michal Ovadek, a lecturer in European politics at University College London.
