But when you look at all of those who were inside that room，and you look at their expressions，and you look at what countries have been saying, I don't think any minds will have been changed. Russia will continue to say it had no part in this attack. The UK will continue to say it is clear that Russia were responsible. And they are backed by a number of countries, a huge number of countries around that table.

Mr. Trump denied knowing that his lawyer had paid the woman Stormy Daniels to keep quiet. Roger Walker reports.

A judge in Brazil has given the former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva until late afternoon on Friday to turn himself in to begin serving a 12-year sentence for corruption or face arrest.
