    US court finds President Biden's son guilty

    US court finds President Biden's son guilty

    A US court has found President Biden's son, Hunter,guilty of lying about his drug use when buying a gun.
    He has been found guilty on all three charges in a federal gun crime trial. The jury in Delaware found that he'd lied about his drug use on a form while buying a weapon in 2018.
    He is the first child of a sitting president to be convicted in a federal court. How will this affect his father's re-election campaign?
    Also in the programme: Donors have gathered in Germany for a conference on Ukraine's reconstruction, but there are concerns as to whether it's free of corruption; how President Macron's surprise announcement of a snap election has triggered a potentially dramatic re-alignment in French politics; and we'll hear about a production of King Lear - staged by Ukrainians in Ukrainian - in the town of Shakespeare's birth.
