- Description
- Prosecutors at the trial of Donald Trump in New York have told the jury he “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election”.
The former President faces 34 counts of falsifying business records and trying to cover up a $130,000 payment to the porn actress Stormy Daniels.
It’s alleged Donald Trump was hoping to cover up evidence of affairs that might damage his election prospects. The prosecution described that as “pure election fraud”.
Donald Trump denies the charges. His defence argues he had no personal involvement in the payments and says none of the allegations amount to criminal behaviour.

It was an environmental catastrophe.
The island remained dangerously contaminated and a no-go area for nearly half a century, until, on this day in 1990, the UK government finally declared Gruinard Island safe.
The truth was that Gruinard Island had been the site of a clandestine attempt by the UK during World War Two to weaponise Anthrax, a deadly bacterial infection.

- The Israeli military’s chief intelligence chief has resigned, saying he took responsibility for the failures before Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Major General Aharon Haliva will retire once his successor is selected. He is the first senior figure to step down over the attack, which were the deadliest in Israel's history.
Israeli military and intelligence officials missed or ignored multiple warnings before hundreds of Hamas gunmen breached the Gaza border fence on 7 October, and attacked nearby Israeli communities, military bases and a music festival.
About 1,200 Israelis and foreigners - mostly civilians - were killed and 253 others were taken back to Gaza as hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
Israel responded by launching its most intense ever war in Gaza, during which more than 34,000 Palestinians - most of them children and women - have been killed, according to ...

- Ukraine’s President Zelensky has described a multi-billion dollar military aid package from the US as “vital” and said it gives the country “a chance of victory”.
Ukrainian forces have come under increasing pressure from Russian troops in recent weeks, and there have been concerns from western allies about Russia’s advances.
The new aid is likely to include air defence systems, mid to long-range missiles and artillery shells – along with weapons and ammunition.
The head of Ukraine's military warned the battlefield situation in the east of the country had "significantly worsened" as Russia intensified its armoured assaults, but it is hoped that the new aid will save Ukrainian lives and territory.

- Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to reject any sanctions on the country’s military, after reports that the US plans to cut aid to one unit.
It comes after the Axios news site reported that the US would target Israel's Netzah Yehuda battalion over alleged human rights violations in the occupied West Bank.
The BBC understands any move would come under a US ban on aid to foreign units credibly implicated in violations. To date, the US – Israel’s main ally - has never suspended aid to an IDF unit before.
"I will fight it with all my strength," Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Sunday.

- Nearly 60,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in China, after days of heavy rain caused flooding in the Guangdong province.
At least three people have died, and 11 people are missing, according to state media.
Several major rivers have burst their banks, and authorities are closely monitoring "dangerously high" water levels.
Much of Guangdong is part of the low-lying Pearl River delta, which is prone to floods due to the rise in sea levels and storm surges. It is also one of the country’s most densely-populated regions, with Guangdong alone home to around 127 million people.

- Ukraine’s President Zelensky said his country had a “chance of victory” after the US House of Representatives finally approved billions of dollars in new US military aid to help combat Russia's invasion.
The much-delayed measure had vocal opponents in Congress and it took a fragile bipartisan deal to get the £49bn package through.
Republicans said more than a third would be dedicated to replenishing weapons and ammunition. It's likely to include air defence systems, mid to long-range missiles and artillery shells.
It is unclear when it will arrive.
The package will now go to the Senate, which is expected to pass it within the next few days before President Joe Biden signs it into law.
Ukraine, which relies on Western weapons, desperately needs the aid as it struggles to contain Russian troops, who have been making steady advances in recent weeks.

The country has invested in producing high end products such as electric vehicles, batteries and solar panels which are sold around the world.
But that has led to tensions with the West, with other countries fearing they are becoming too reliant on hi-tech Chinese goods which are essential to a low-carbon future.
The US and the EU accuse China of unfairly subsidising these industries, allowing them to flood the world market with cheap green goods.
