German chancellor in Washington
Friedrich Merz is meeting Donald Trump at the White House.
New German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is making a high-stakes trip to meet US President Donald Trump - his first time in Washington DC as the leader of the European Union's largest economy. We hear from the two leaders who are taking questions from journalists at the White House.
Democrats in the US have condemned President Trump's ban on citizens from 12 countries entering the United States. There are an additional seven countries whose nationals face partial travel restrictions. We hear reaction from the countries that are on Trump's list.
We have the latest on the trial with an Australian woman accused of murdering three of her relatives by serving them lunch containing poisonous mushrooms.
Presenter: Mark Lowen.
