Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his historic criminal trial in New York. It is the first time a former or serving US president has been convicted of a crime. The court heard from 22 witnesses over six weeks, including the porn actor Stormy Daniels. Trump called the verdict a "disgrace". It's an unprecedented situation, which leaves a lot questions. Can Donald Trump still run for president? Could he go to prison? And what happens next? There's loads of contrasting opinions online, so we break down exactly what Donald Trump was found guilty of and we hear from BBC journalists Nomia Iqbal, John Sudworth, Nada Tawfik and Kayla Epstein.

US intelligence says China may use Tik Tok to interfere in the presidential election. Now Washington is debating a bill that would force the app's Chinese owners to sell up, even as politicians like Joe Biden use Tik Tok as a campaign tool. So, how might Beijing use social media to undermine American democracy? And would selling or even banning Tik Tok do anything to stop it? Lyse Doucet speaks to BBC North America correspondent John Sudworth and Wired senior political writer Makena Kelly. The Global Story brings you trusted insights from BBC journalists worldwide.

Kate Adie introduces correspondents' and writers' stories from the Chad/Sudan border, Hawaii's Maui island, Belize, Portugal and Azerbaijan More than a million people have fled violence in Sudan for relative safety over the border in Chad - but conditions there are harsh, and medical help running desperately short. Mercy Juma spent a week near the refugee camp in Adre hearing stories of what had driven so many from their homes in Darfur. Maui island is still reeling in shock and grief after the wildfires, fanned up by strong winds, which have ripped across it and burned the town of Lahaina to the ground. John Sudworth reflects on the anger and concern - as well as the resilience - he's heard expressed by Hawaiians over their state's emergency response. How can one of the Western Hemisphere's smallest countries, Belize, take care of one of its longest barrier reefs? In a heavily indebted nation of under half a million people that's also highly vulnerable to climate change, NGOs must often step in where the state can't enforce conservation measures. Linda Pressly took took a boat to a speck in the Caribbean called Laughing Bird Caye, to hear of the threats from fishing boats, tourists - and even drug smugglers - in these waters. Portugal's government has drawn up a plan promising the nation "More Housing" - trying to address a runaway property boom and a sense that a decent home is now out of reach for far too many people. But as Alison Roberts explains, rebalancing both rental and buyers' markets will not be easy. And in the cities of Baku and Shusha, Simon Broughton pays close attention to sounds from Azerbaijan's own classical music tradition: the genre called mugha, which mixes delicate instrumentation with poetic vocals, lively improvisation and deep human feeling.

Number 10 deny a cover-up over Boris Johnson's Covid Whatsapp messages. The Covid inquiry has demanded that the former PM hand over unredacted messages, diaries and notebooks by Thursday. Adam talks it all through with political correspondent Alex Forsyth and the Institute for Government's Catherine Haddon, who also teaches ministers the do's and don'ts of doing official business over WhatsApp. Plus the BBC's former China correspondent John Sudworth and producer Simon Maybin talk about their new Radio 4 series which explores Covid's origin. Today's Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Ben Carter with Madeleine Drury, Rufus Gray and Jack Taylor. The senior news editor was Sam Bonham.

Cover-ups, coincidences, and conspiracy theories: where did Covid come from?John Sudworth was the BBC's China correspondent when an unexplained pneumonia started worrying Wuhan doctors in December 2019. Since then, he's been investigating the origin of the virus that would turn into a devastating global pandemic.From the beginning, there have been claims of certainty. Many scientists say the virus that causes Covid came from nature - probably carried from bats to other animals, and then to humans in a Wuhan market. But an alternative possibility - that it leaked from a laboratory - has refused to go away. And other scientists claim there's uncertainty. For them, the mystery of Covid's origin remains unsolved.So, where did Covid come from? For every one of the millions of lives lost, for every long sufferer, for the pain, the isolation, and the incalculable economic cost, the answer matters. It might also help us prevent another - maybe even worse - pandemic.But it's a debate that's become politicised, toxic, and a bit crazy.The series begins on Tuesday 30 May, 2023.

China has been accused of the mistreatment of the Uyghur people in the north-western region of Xinjiang for a number of years. This Muslim ethnic group are distinct with different culture, language and history to China's ethnic majority, Han Chinese. But why did the government start this crackdown? And what is really going on? Senior correspondent John Sudworth was based in China for nine years, and reported on the treatment of the Uyghur people. He speaks to Claire Graham to help us understand the region and how Xinjiang became a surveillance state.

Kate Adie presents dispatches from the US, Australia, Egypt, Portugal and Slovenia The predicted “giant red wave” of Republican support did not materialise in this week's midterm elections – though they are still poised to regain control of the House of Representatives and could still seize full control of Congress. John Sudworth weighs what the outcome means for Donald Trump's Republicans The death of a 15-year-old Aboriginal boy in Western Australia has triggered a public outcry. Last month, Cassius Turvey was walking home from school with friends, when they were allegedly attacked. Cassius was beaten up and later died in hospital. His death has posed hard questions, about pervasive racism in the country, says Shaimaa Khalil The Egyptian beach resort of Sharm El-Sheikh is this week hosting the UN Climate Change summit. The gathering is often criticised for its lack of progress on climate change targets and its heavy carbon footprint. But Justin Rowlatt says there's a new proposal, which is gaining traction – led by the Prime Minister of Barbados. Portugal's golden visa scheme, which rewarded wealthy foreign investors with citizenship, has pushed house prices up over the last ten years. The government recently announced it plans to end the scheme - but it may be too late for many young people who're still unable to get a foot on the housing ladder, says Natasha Fernandez. In Slovenia, Nick Hunt follows the 'Walk of Peace' trail amid trenches and memorials to fallen soldiers in the First World War. He hears from locals how forest fires last Summer wreaked fresh devastation on the region. Producers: Serena Tarling and Ellie House Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Production Coordinator: Iona Hammond

BBC correspondent Andrew Harding describes how sleep has been near impossible in the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv, which has been under almost constant Russian bombardment since the start of the war. Together with Vitaly and Irena, he also discusses a report by Amnesty International, which accuses Ukraine of endangering the lives of its own citizens by setting up military bases in residential areas, such as in schools and hospitals. We also hear from Jixian Wang, a Chinese vlogger based in Odessa, who explains how Chinese state media echoes Russian propaganda. And former China correspondent for the BBC, John Sudworth describes how the war in Ukraine is playing out in Taiwan, and the ways in which the crises in the two places are linked.

The UN human rights chief, Michelle Bachelet, is visiting Xinjiang this week, as new evidence emerges of the widespread abuse of the native Uyghur population by Chinese authorities. Our correspondent John Sudworth reports on the leaked Xinjiang files, and Rahima Mahmut, the British spokeswoman for the World Uyghur Congress, says the UN trip will do more harm than good. Also in the programme: can British Prime Minister Boris Johnson survive the latest allegations of lockdown parties at the heart of British government; and the race to transport wounded Ukrainians to safety from the Donbas front in the war with Russia.

Data apparently hacked from Chinese police computers shows officers are ordered to shoot Uyghur Muslim prisoners on sight if they try to escape detention in the western region of Xinjiang. The BBC has been handed documents, including thousands of photographs, that shed light on China's secretive system of mass incarceration in the area. The BBC's former correspondent to China, John Sudworth uncovered much of what we know about the Uyghurs and spoke to Today's Justin Webb from New York, having had to leave the country because of his work on the story. The program also heard from Rahima Mahmut, Director of the UK World Uyghur Congress, and Jewher Ilham, whose father, Uyghur has been detained since 2013. (IMAGE CREDIT: BBC )

What connects a Chinese tennis star, the new Culture Secretary and a viral karaoke show? Adam explains why the answer is Twitter, with a load of great voices for this bumper Tuesday episode... The BBC's new Culture Editor, Katie Razzall, was watching the Culture Secretary, Nadine Dorries. BBC China's John Sudworth and Kerry Allen have been following the tale of the tennis legend, Peng Shuai. And Jacob McLaughlin, from Manchester, really knows how to host an online karaoke gig! Today's Newscast was made by Sam Bonham with Georgia Coan, Ben Cooper, Rachel Judah and Ros Jones. The studio director was Emma Crowe.

There are continued concerns about the Chinese tennis star, Peng Shuai, despite officials from the International Olympic Committee confirming they've had a video conversation with her. The IOC said Ms Peng had assured them she was safe and well, but that she wanted her privacy respected. Peng Shuai disappeared earlier this month shortly after claiming she'd been sexually assaulted by a former senior Communist Party official. The Women's Tennis Association says it's still not satisfied that the player is free to talk without censorship. Justin Webb speaks to the BBC's correspondent John Sudworth, who has moved to Taiwan after coming under pressure whilst reporting in China, and then Lord Coe, the Head of World Athletics and former Head of the British Olympic Association.

Britský novinář John Sudworth z BBC vyzkoušel před pár lety v Číně experiment. Zajímalo ho, za jak dlouho ho najde čínská policie v ulicích třímilionového města pomocí technologie rozpoznání obličeje. Byl lapen za sedm minut. Událost z roku 2017 šokovala svojí efektivitou francouzského investigativního novináře Sylvaina Louveta, který se rozhodl, že čínský digitální stroj na dohled prozkoumá ve svém filmu A World Under Surveillance.

Will we ever find out how the pandemic started? In the past few months, the theory that Covid-19 actually came from a lab in Wuhan (instead of jumping from a bat to a human in a food market) has been back in the spotlight. But is all this chat being led by science or politics? Can the two even be separated anymore? For this special Newscast, Adam is joined by Newsnight's Mark Urban, the BBC China correspondent, John Sudworth alongside his producer Kathy Long, and BBC science correspondent, Victoria Gill. Today's Newscast was made by Maz Ebtehaj with Alix Pickles and Ben Cooper. The Studio Director was Micheal Regaard. Sam Bonham is the Assistant Editor. Dino Sofos is the Editor.

Reporting by journalists like the BBC's John Sudworth has revealed the scale and severity of the Chinese government's large network of detention camps, in which more than a million Uighurs and other minorities are thought to have been detained, mistreated and abused. And in the last couple of weeks, in addition to the heavy restrictions already placed on foreign journalists, China's government has adopted a new tactic: labelling independent coverage as "fake news". In this latest episode of J-Lab – a podcast brought to you by the Civic Journalism Lab at Newcastle University –  we speak to John Sudworth (who had just arrived in Wuhan to report on the latest efforts by international experts investigating the origins of COVID-19). John explains what it's like to be a journalist in China at present, describes the challenges of reporting this story and offers advice to journalists working in countries with authoritarian regimes.   This is the latest in a series of episodes that explores the reporting behind some of the biggest news stories of the last 12 months.

The measures include increased testing and vaccinations as part of a national strategy, as President Biden warns the US is likely to reach half a million coronavirus-related deaths by next month.

This week marks one year since the world’s first Covid lockdown started and the Chinese government confined almost 60 million people to their homes in Wuhan and the surrounding province. Our China correspondent, John Sudworth, reports from the city that is now remembered in China as the scene of a great victory. Also in the programme: Australia's prime minister says he will not respond to threats, after Google said it would disable its search engine if it was required to pay for news content in the country; and as President Biden and Canada's prime minister, Justin Trudeau, discuss the cancellation of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, we debate the pros and cons of such projects.

John Sudworth, escribió un articulo para la BBC News, donde dice que la científica china Shi Zhengli "está dispuesta a abrir las puertas del controvertido laboratorio de la ciudad china de Wuhan para descartar las acusaciones de que fue allí donde se creó el coronavirus" Sudworth además habla de un hecho que hasta ahora no había sido mencionado y tiene que ver con la muerte de tres hombres y una mina de cobre abandonada, en hecho que podría estar relacionado con el origen del virus SARS-CoV-2 que produce el COVID19. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-55406204

The BBC’s China correspondent, John Sudworth, travels to Wuhan – the city on the banks of the Yangtze river where Covid-19 first emerged. As the city returns to life, he examines one of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind: did the virus emerge naturally or could it have been leaked, as the US alleges, from a Wuhan lab, where work was being carried out to research bat viruses? As John and his team discover, asking questions and getting answers in Wuhan is no easy task.

Is this going to be the moment when China's trajectory changed forever? Correspondents share their stories, wit, and analysis from around the world. Introduced by Kate Adie: With Xi Jinping now effectively allowed to remain in power for life, after the two-term limit on the presidency was removed, John Sudworth reflects on what this means for China and the rest of the world. Steve Rosenberg examines Russia's ever-shifting relationship with the West from the frozen rust-belt town of Karabash. Linda Pressly reports from Tysfjord, where police have revealed decades’ worth of allegations of sexual abuse in the tiny Norwegian community close to the Arctic Circle.

In Brazil, Katy Watson joins the queue for a Yellow Fever vaccine amid the panic caused by the latest outbreak. John Watkins delves into Albania’s national archive, where thousands of decaying film reels reveal much about its communist past.
