BBC World Service - BBC OS, Live in Mexico

In the run up to Mexico's election, the OS team are live in the border city of Tijuana.

In the run up to Mexico's historic presidential election on Sunday, the OS team are live in the border city of Tijuana. Presenter James Reynolds speaks to staff in a local newsroom on how they're covering the elections and the everyday issues that Mexicans will be voting on. The run-up to the vote, in which a new president as well as members of the legislature, nine governors and almost 20,000 local officials will be chosen, has been the most violent in recent history. More than 20 candidates have been killed and hundreds more have been threatened. We also hear from the other side of the border - those in San Diego - to get a sense of what the Americans think about migrants coming there.

Donald Trump has been found guilty on all counts in his historic New York criminal trial, becoming the first former or sitting president to be convicted of a crime as he makes a bid to return to the White House. On a historic day, a panel of 12 Manhattan jurors unanimously convicted him on 34 counts of falsifying business records on Thursday, with sentencing now set for 11 July. Over a six-week trial, the court heard from 22 witnesses, including Stormy Daniels, whose alleged sexual encounter with the former president was at the centre of the case. We get the latest reaction from the US - hearing from Republican supporters, reporters who've been covering the case and Donald Trump himself.
