Trump does not have presidential immunity: a US court decides the former president may face charges.
A US judge has decided that former President Donald Trump may go to trial for allegedly attempting to rig the 2020 election results. Even though Trump claims he will appeal the decision, the judges unanimously decided he is not exempt from prosecution.00:02:33Honoring Taiwanese identity: a dialect that was once outlawed reappears
Taiwan observes February 28 as the anniversary of the Chinese nationalist government's 1947 crackdown. After 77 years, Taiwanese people celebrate a completely different identity from the one they feel mainland China imposed on them. Reviving a language that was formerly outlawed in public life is one way they're achieving this.
