Summary

The BBC's disinformation and social media correspondent Marianna Spring joins Adam to talk about how the world is reacting to Donald Trump's indictment online, as well as how US voters are experiencing the news on their feeds. The UK government says it has struck the "biggest trade deal since Brexit", but how big are the benefits for the economy? The BBC's trade and economics correspondent Dharshini David gives her analysis. And, as The Guardian apologises for its historic links to slavery, board member and historian David Olusoga tells Newscast what the paper is doing to try to atone. Today's Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming and was made by Chris Flynn with Rufus Gray, Madeleine Drury. The assistant news editor is Damon Rose.
