The white house has insisted that criminal charges brought against former aides to President Trump, show no evidence of collusion between his Election Campaign and russia. George papadopoulos has admitted lying to the fbi about his contacts with moscow, and two other senior aides have been placed under house arrest as the fbis investigation intensifies. Laura bicker reports. Paul manafort, Donald Trumps former Campaign Manager, leaves court under house arrest facing 12 grave charges including Money Laundering and conspiracy. Hes pleading not guilty and the charges dont relate to his work with the Trump Campaign. But as he sped away from the spotlight, there came an unexpected bombshell. George papadopoulos, an unpaid Foreign Policy adviser for the Trump Campaign secretly pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his russian contacts. His charge sheet says that while he was an aide he met a russian professor in london who said he had dirt on Hillary Clinton. Despite having earlier told the fbi he wasnt a member of the Trump Campaign when the meeting took place. The professor claimed he had thousands of Clinton Campaign emails and he worked to arrange a meeting between Vladimir Putin and donald trump, something that did not happen. Papadopouloss guilty plea discloses facts of communication between donald Trump Campaign and the russians we didnt know about and that could be a bigger problem for trump. More details have emerged about alleged russian attempts to influence voters on social media. Facebook believes that 126 million american users may have come into contact with russian backed propaganda during the election. This investigation is not going away, as the white house had hoped, and could overshadow the Trump Presidency for some time to come. The bank of england is warning that 75,000 jobs could be lost from britains Financial Services sector, if the uk leaves the European Union without a trade deal. Senior figures at the bank of england are said to be using the number as a reasonable scenario in their planning for the future, but are thought to be optimistic that negotiations will be successful. 0ur economics editor, kamal ahmed, reports. It will be one of the toughest challenges facing the brexit negotiators, tackling the multitrillion pound Financial Services industry which links the uk with the rest of the European Union. Banks and Financial Companies based in britain pay £67 billion in taxes each year, and contribute a trade surplus of £58 billion, helping the uks economy. Many eu countries would like a slice of the sector and see brexit as an opportunity. Frankfurt and paris, for example, are marketing themselves as new places to locate. The bank of england is now preparing for tens of thousands ofjob losses which it believes will hit the uk if there is no new free trade deal. Some will simply disappear as the Financial Sector shrinks across britain and some will be lost to londons competitor cities. Although the bank believes 75,000 job losses is a reasonable scenario over 3 5 years, many are optimistic that a good deal will be signed on Financial Services because both the uk and the eu will not want to disrupt such a vital component of the economy. And even with the job losses, britain, with over1 million Financial Services jobs, will still be by far the most important centre for banking in europe. The defence secretary, sir Michael Fallon, has confirmed he was once rebuked by a politicaljournalist for putting his hand on her knee during dinner. The radio presenter, Julia Hartley brewer, said she had not been remotely upset or distressed by the incident, which happened 15 years ago. Ms Hartley Brewer said that it was absurd to treat misjudged sexual overtures orflirting as being morally equivalent to serious Sexual Harassment or assault. Netflix, has insisted its decision to cancel the political drama, house of cards, was made before the star of the series was accused of making a sexual advance towards a teenage boy. Kevin spacey has apologised for any inappropriate drunken behaviour, but hes faced criticism for using the same statement to come out as gay. The deposed leader of catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, has arrived in belgium and hired a lawyer specialising in immigration, raising speculation he may seek asylum. Earlier, the spanish attorney general said he was seeking charges, including rebellion, sedition and the misappropriation of public funds, against mr puigdemont and other separatist leaders over last weeks unilateral declaration of independence. Sarah corker reports. In barcelona, people are asking just what happens next. The Spanish Government is now in charge of running this, the catalan region. Carles puigdemont, the deposed Catalan Leader faces charges of rebellion and he has decided to escape. Translation he is in belgium. I think, to step away a bit and let things calm down. He did not give me much more explanation. I am not his political assistant but his justice assistant. And speculation is growing that Carles Puigdemont is preparing to seek asylum in belgium. He is now potentially a fugitive from spanishjustice. In catalonia, he won the hearts of these supporters by declaring independence on friday. But he has left others, like these pro unity campaigners, furious. What happened here, it is like Carles Puigdemont is a dictator. I lost a lot of friends. We talk a lot about politics and this is impossible to talk about. And the stand off is escalating. Yesterday the prosecutor in madrid announced serious charges against Catalan Leaders, carrying a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. Translation in order to uphold honour, this office has five charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of funds against the main Catalan Leaders. And the reaction to that from the defacto catalan Deputy President who said he had nothing new to say. Amid reports of the other former cabinet members are also in belgium with Carles Puigdemont, the potential repercussions of this crisis now stretch across europe.

One of their report was leaked in which the coach was accused of unlawful conduct, with absolutely no justification for possessing testosterone, something he defended himself against, saying it was just for personal use because of a medical condition that he has.

This could be fascinating. The ipc, the International Paralympic movement, will be bracing themselves for a a few high profile athletes and allegations against them under parliamentary privilege. They are looking at claims of cheating. There are claims that athletes are exaggerating their conditions or impairments to be classified within a group that gives them a better chance of winning.

Thank you. Fixed odds betting terminals like these have been dubbed the crack cocaine of gambling because they are so addictive. It is possible to lose a vast amount of money on them in a very short amount of time. But now the maximum stake for fixed odds betting terminals could drop to as little as £2 under a government review. Currently, people can bet up to £100 every 20 seconds on the gaming machines, but proposals could limit that to between £2 and £50. The rise of fixed odds betting terminals is an issue weve been covering for years on this programme and the radio, where weve heard from addicts who have lost hundreds of thousands of pounds on them. Last year an investigation by this programme found staff in betting shops telling us theyre being told to offer customers perks and incentives to keep them playing on those controversial high stakes machines. I was in that hairdressers over the road and i dont know what happened. I came out of the hairdressers i thought, oh, go on, whats the harm, ill go in and have a go. The addiction is always present. Ifed in what i had in my wallet, which i think was about £90. Then i came out, took some money out of the cashpoint. At this point, i was totally devastated and just completely caught up in the gambling. In a red mist is probably the best way to describe it, or fog. And i just went to the counter and said, you know, £500. I lost that in the space of a few minutes. £1,000, i lost that. £1,000, lost that, and another £1,000 until i had no more money in my bank account. And how did you feel after losing that . Devastated. At this point, the plan was still for my wife and child to come and live here in this country with me. Id got a flat set up and everything ready to go. But because of that relapse, and because my wife realised i was still very much in the gambling, the addiction was there. Let us know your reaction to the proposed changes particularly if you have used fixed odds betting terminals. You can e mail and tweet. We can speak now to jason haddigan. Adam bradfords father has had major gambling problems. At one point going to prison to fuel his habit. And in the studio, the labour mp Carolyn Harris who chairs a Cross Party Group on fixed 0dds betting. Ina in a moment we will be joined by john wright from the british amusement catering trade association. Jason, how much do you reckon you have lost through your lifetime on these terminals . I have lost £300,000 on them. Over what period of time . Ok, so they came out in the year 2000. I was actually banned from all bookmakers in the year 2014. So from 2000 to 2014, yeah, i lost over £300,000. Wow. And where did you get the money from . How did you afford it . I was conning the bookmakers to fuel my gambling addiction. Yes and that is why in 2014, a crown courtjudge banned me from every bookmakers in the United Kingdom for i believe it was five yea rs, yes. Kingdom for i believe it was five years, yes. Tell me this how much do you take responsibility for your actions . How much do you think it is to do with the nature of these particular betting terminals .
