Trump's guilty verdict

We get the latest as Donald Trump is the first US president to be convicted of a crime.

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, we start the programme in the US - hearing from those who were in the court as the verdict was handed down, Republicans and Donald Trump himself. 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. Trump, 77, called the verdict a "disgrace", adding: "We'll fight to the end."

Elsewhere we cross to Mexico - where some of the OS team are on location and have been hearing from voters in the run up to the presidential election on Sunday. Presenter James Reynolds is live from a local newsroom in Tijuana, a border city in Mexico, just south of California. We're hearing from staff on how they're covering and handling the busy election period as well as the issues at the heart of this election for Mexicans. James also meets the Almeras family in the nearby town of Tecate. There are eight siblings in the family. In 2018, one of the oldest brothers Jose Juan was abducted - it’s thought by police officers - and has not been seen again. One of the family's sisters, Angela, began the search for him. But in February this year, she herself was shot dead - her family has buried her, as they continue to look for their brother. The disappearance and the murder have broken the family.
