Trump ordered to pay $83m in damages

The former president was ordered to pay damages for defaming journalist E Jean Carroll.

A New York jury has decided Donald Trump should pay $83.3m for defaming journalist E Jean Carroll in 2019 while he was US president. Mr Trump was found in a previous civil case to have defamed Ms Carroll and sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.

Also in the programme: politicians in the United States are calling for new laws around deepfake images after faked explicit photos of the pop star Taylor Swift went viral on social media sites; and we reflect on the shock resignation of the Liverpool football manager Jurgen Klopp.

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