Turning to Trump

Donald Trump's march on the White House continues, despite another week of negative headlines. Plus despatches from Germany, Peru, Spain and Malaysia. Presented by Kate Adie.

The programme with the bigger picture. Why the controversial comments and adverse publicity surrounding Donald Trump may not be harming the billionaire businessman's bid for the US presidency. Seismic shifts in Spanish politics - we get a view of the upcoming general election there from the Valley of the Fallen, where the country's late dictator Francisco Franco is buried. The talk in Malaysia's of scandal stalking the prime minister and of fears for the future of a country loved by many for its relaxed, inclusive and multicultural nature. The Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is one of the wonders of the world, so no wonder visitors have been trekking up there in huge numbers. Now the Peruvian government wants to make it easier for them to get there. But its plans have met spirited opposition. And from Germany we hear about the 12-people who're being paid to do everything lying down. And that includes exercising -- and going to the loo.
