Closing arguments in Trump trial

The trial of former president Donald Trump has begun its closing arguments. Trump is accused of trying to cover up a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who claims they had sex - he denies all charges. Our correspondent Nada Tawfik is outside court with the latest.

Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, in the high north-east close to Russia, is to all intents and purposes defenceless against Russian air attacks. Our International Editor Jeremy Bowen, who has been there reporting from the city, gives us a full debrief on the situation.

Spain, Norway and Ireland have formally recognised Palestine as a state. We get reaction from Palestinians.

Our Religion Editor Aleem Maqbool takes us through the allegations that the Pope used an offensive homophobic slur in a private meeting with Italian bishops.

We get reaction from Georgia and speak to our correspondent in Tbilisi after the ruling party overturned the presidential veto of the so-called "foreign agents law."

Presenter: Luke Jones.
