What next for President Trump's tax returns?

The US Supreme Court has ruled prosecutors can examine the president's financial records

The US Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump's financial records can be examined by prosecutors in New York. In a related case, the court ruled that this information did not have to be shared with Congress. Law professor and host of the "Passing Judgement" podcast Jessica Levinson explains the significance of these rulings. Also in the programme, voters in Singapore head to the polls on Friday for what's being called the 'pandemic' election. The government there has unveiled four big-spending budgets to cushion the impact, but as the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Sharanjit Leyl reports, not everyone is confident that it will work. Plus we hear from some African technology entrepreneurs how their sector has actually been boosted by the pandemic, as they were able to provide vital virtual services to people who were suddenly unable to leave their homes.
