Episode notes

CNN's John Defterios was at Donald Trump's arraignment in New York. He says the charges relate to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels and adult film star just 12 days before the election in 2016. Those payments were made by Michael Cohen who is a former Trump lawyer but crucially Donald Trump is alleged to have reimbursed Michael Cohen in 2017 while he was president.

Former US president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges in court on Tuesday, Credit Suisse held its last annual general meeting, and shareholders at HSBC rail over the company’s decision to buy Silicon Valley Bank’s UK business.
