News. Hello you're listening to the newsroom from the b.b.c. World Service with me and we are simply the room we begin in the United States where President Trump has come out fighting following Wednesday's turbulent events that saw 2 of his former senior aides a campaign manager and his former attorney sentence for tax fraud and campaign violations the more damaging claim that had come from his longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen who had told the court that Donald Trump and ordered him to make hush payments to 2 women who say they had affairs with him the president didn't address his role in ordering the hush money insisting instead that election campaign funds had not been used to make the payments come out of campaign my 1st question when I heard about it was if they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey and they didn't come out of the campaign and that's what they were it's not even a campaign violation the president's assertion was echoed by the White House press secretary Sarah Sanders insisted that Mr Poland's guilty plea had nothing to do with President Trump I can tell you as the president has stated on numerous occasions he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him in the us and just because Michael Cohen made a plea deal doesn't mean that that implicates the president on it well let's go live to Washington and our correspondent David Willetts is there David how effective has the President been in defending his position well it's his practice of course the media to double down in circumstances like this isn't it to come out fighting and today the president told Fox News that as you mentioned it was his money not campaign money that was used to pay these women and that no laws were broken and for now there are a few signs of Republicans breaking ranks coming out against him many of them seem to believe that to his base this is really a normal issue but I think what. What much centers on is what Mr Trump's a former fixer. Michael Cohen the man who admitted paying hush money to those $2.00 women who allegedly had a sexual relationship with Donald Trump has to say next to Mr Cohen has said that he paid the women on the direction of Donald Trump in effect to avoid a scandal and influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election and Mr Cohen has said that he's ready and willing to assist for example the special counsel Robert Muller in his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and he's also been subpoenaed to give evidence in a New York state investigation into the dealings of the Trump Foundation which is a charitable organization set up by Donald Trump so the man who once said that he would take a bullet for Donald Trump now seems to be potentially the bullet itself and this is no raison to try and get the special counsel Robert Mueller to complete this report into possible Russian collusion before the midterms in November while President from a leader Ternium Rudy Giuliani has been putting pressure on the special counsel to wrap up his investigation over the course of the last few weeks on behalf of his client Donald Trump who's grown increasingly frustrated I think by the attacks that bite by the tension I should say that's being paid to an investigation that he brands which hand there's been no indication however by the special counsel or by the Justice Department here that the inquiry is nearing an end clearly though Robert Mueller is making progress we've seen Trump aides charged and in the case of Paul manifold of course convicted and 25 Russians charged with hacking amongst other things but no trump aide has yet been charged with actually working with Russia to win to interfere in the outcome of the election Hence I think the president's repeated claims that Mr Miller has come. Empty on the main topic that he was supposed to be investigating David thank you David Willis in Washington now away from Washington many supporters of Donald Trump show little sign of abandoning their faith in Him economic growth appears to be accelerating and the president continues to enjoy strong support one opposition stronghold is New York City where voters voted heavily for the Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election with one small exception the borough of Staten Island our correspondent Nick Bryant has been there to gauge opinion. Across the waters for the Lower Manhattan is the trump stronghold of Staten Island the only bar of New York to vote for the home time presidential candidate from here you can almost see the cool complex where Michael Kelly made the explosive claim the dull truck directed him to commit a crime but the people here Kat I think that you know he is what this country needed at this time local businessman Steve model relevant leave that Donald Trump is making America great again yesterday's bombshell allegations don't trouble so I guess I don't trust person a law stood up in court and implicating the president and study he told me to break the law does it worry you that the people that hate him. Are going to use it and that's all you going to hear for the next 6 months and really who are. You going to you know the people that like what he's doing whether or not they like a machine you know him being. Going to kill us here on the beaches of Staten Island what's widely viewed by Donald Trump's critics as the darkest day of his presidency has cost few shadows I think he's greatest doing wonderful for the country and for the world and I can't find anything wrong with him yesterday his lawyer said he told him to break the laws that were you know not really a war break but Juan now millions of people break the law here. He's the president the United States Ravi's human to Donald Trump once claimed he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his supporters would still vote for him an extravagant post maybe but one that speaks of his unshakable belief in the odd wavering devotion of his loyalists Nick Bryant on Staten Island China and the United States are imposing a 2nd round of type of swarthy $16000000000.00 of each other's goods as the trade dispute between the 2 countries continues Chinese farming equipment chemical products and motorbikes are among the affected goods on their side China is expected to retaliate imposing tariffs on u.s. Coal. Medical equipment cars and busses when our Asia business correspondent Karisma of us one is in Singapore for the newsroom and she joins us now Karisma When will the effects of these terror start to be felt and who's going to be worst affected Well you're already starting to see a little bit of the effects that the initial round of tire of some $34000000000.00 which was put into place in July you're starting to see a little bit of that coming through some car manufacturers in the United States trying to sell their goods to China has complained that they've had to see the impact of higher prices in China because they import so much of their goods from the u.s. And now with the $16000000000.00 that's coming into place in a few hours time I think you will only start to see the effects in the months to come the biggest there for business is not just based in the u.s. And China is that $200000000000.00 That trumpet ministration is currently reviewing and in securing whether or not to implement towers of as much as $0.25 on some of these goods you know we the amount that's currently on the towers This is a fraction of the trade between the u.s. And China so it doesn't happen really significant effect on either of their economies or some of the economies out in this part of the world that send products to China and then that are passed on and assembled in Chinese factories to be sent to the United States when it gets to 200000000000 dollars we're talking about something completely different that's why everybody's Wired So why does it matter. Well you know if you look at the way international trade has boosted the incomes of people all across the world over the last 3 or 4 decades or so it really does matter because what the trumpet ministration and his critics sent me believe is that he is trying with the trumpet ministration is trying to rewrite the rules of the international trading order now American consumers benefited from the Chinese goods that became so much cheaper places like Wal-Mart or Target that allowed them to have expendable income to spend on other things and in turn that helped to boost economic growth of course it was the flip side that way Americans factories that made many of these products like to be shut down but there's a lot of this an argument to be made that's not directly as a result of Chinese goods being made in cheaper places in Chinese factories this part of the world in Asia the Asia Pacific region has also seen its economic fortunes transformed because of globalization that's a big worry that that might be coming to an end collision of thank you Christmas one e. In Singapore and just a note to say that officials from both sides are meeting for talks in Washington today and trying to work out some recent resolution to this dispute you're listening to the b.b.c. World Service No Nick has the headlines President Trump has acknowledged that he provided hush money for 2 women claiming they'd had affairs with him but he said he had ensured that election campaign finance was not used more key government ministers in Australia withdrawn their support for the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull telling him it's time for him to quit the United Nations children's organization has warned that over half a 1000000 range refugee children in Bangladesh risk becoming a lost generation unless there's urgent investment in their education Thanks Nick us judges sentence the former head of the Brazilian football federation to 4 years in prison for corruption money laundering and other offenses. I mean who's 86 was convicted last December. And remanded in a New York prison awaiting sentencing shortly before we came on air I asked our Americas that a trillion out of Russia what exactly had done and why this case was being tried in a u.s. Court he was found guilty of taking bribes from big marketing companies to grant them contracts so that they could broadcast across Latin America in his case in Brazil the rights to import and matches in important tournaments that were organized by but the local for the ration and with the approval of Fifa he was forced to give back more than $3000000.00 That's what the judge decided in also he was fined 1200000 dollars and that's when that the time when he was president of said there for the Brazilian football federation and he was tried in the United States because he used American bank accounts according to the American system to launder money in to take this corruption money there that's why we had this big investigation that affected not only him in other Latin American officials but the officials from Europe and other parts of the world and it's his conviction a sign of greater corruption in Brazilian football it was something that everyone knew everyone knew there was a great level of corruption we had the scandal involving set Blatter thief or we had a number of scandal scandals involving corruption for example choosing the countries that will hold the the major tournaments and in the particular case of Brazil we have now. Seen in we have the sec sesa also has been found guilty in the United States has been investigated in the United States and he's pretty sess a card that they share the whole oversaw period of big success in Brazilian football and his success or for. Martin he doesn't want to leave Brazil he's scared of being arrested and being extradited to the United States so what people say there's been corruption a lot of money was thrown into the into the game in the past 20 years with the many big companies you know giving contracts in football becoming a lot more profitable and it didn't come as a big surprise to anyone and it shows the state in which Brazilian football in Latin American football in general is at the moment you know the Russia the embattled of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull appears to be running out of options earlier this week he narrowly survived a confidence vote but today 3 government ministers have resigned saying more M.P.'s from his Liberal Party have turned on him we're joined from Sydney by our correspondent how Griffith for more of this how will there be a new challenge and would Mr Turnbull contest a new election those are all questions we can't answer at the moment what we can say is that Malcolm Turnbull is unlikely to stay as prime minister for very much longer because as we speak even more Cabinet ministers are resigning from their portfolios saying essentially they don't believe that Malcolm Turnbull has the support of the party so who will be astray is next prime minister Well Peter Dutton was the man who challenged him earlier this week he was the Home Affairs and Immigration Minister has made a name for himself as a bit of a tough cop he claims now to have the majority of the party behind him certainly the conservative wing of the party however what may happen is that Malcolm Turnbull would rather not be succeeded by his by his opponent and he would instead annoying to successor quite possibly the Treasurer Scott Morrison who might be seen as something more of a middle candidate that means we've got a lot of uncertainty as to which way the M.P.'s would go and who ultimately they want to be the next prime minister and what brought things to this point sorry didn't catch the question what's brought things to this point with Mr Turnbull. Sorry Well it is a 1st symptom of how rapidly things can change in Australian politics because I think just a week and a half ago he'd seen something huge success in what he claimed as bringing a big energy policy to the parliament and everything seemed to be fine but suddenly members of his party who don't agree with his stance on climate change for example who don't agree with tariffs on carbon emissions they decided they weren't happy anymore also his policy on tax changes wasn't able to get through and so certainly from a position of strength he seem to have lost the right wing of his party who are maybe never that comfortable with a more progressive left leaning conservative prime minister however we only need to look back through the last decade of Australian politics whoever becomes the next prime minister would be the 6 with
