Countries in asia. Well hear how the money will help in a moment. Voiceover live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news. Its newsday. Hello and welcome to the programme. We begin in the United States where a key witness at the Hush Money Trial of donald trump has told the court in new york how he suppressed negative stories about the former president to help him win the 2016 election. The court heard today how the then candidate picked up the phone and called this man, david pecker, former publisher of a tabloid, the national enquirer, to discuss whether to pay off a Playboy Model who was shopping around a story of having a year long affair with trump. Before the trial resumed though, thejudge held a fiery hearing to determine if mr trump violated a gag order, which bans the former president from verbally attacking the jury and witnesses.
