BBC World Service - Newshour, Donald Trump’s hush-money trial begins in New York

The former US president appears in court accused of falsifying business records

The former US president appears in court accused of falsifying business records.

Former US president Donald Trump begins what could be a six-week criminal trial in the US state of New York. The 77-year-old allegedly falsified business records to conceal hush-money payments to former adult film star Stormy Daniels. A pollster tells us what the trial’s political consequences might be for Mr Trump, who is seeking re-election to the White House later this year.

Also in the programme: Israel’s war cabinet meets for the second day following Iran’s attempted strikes on the nation at the weekend. We hear from a journalist in Tel Aviv for updates; and as Sudan marks one year of war, donors gathered in Paris pledge €2billion in aid.
