	Description:		Thirteen Russians and three companies have been charged with meddling in the 2016 US Presidential election. Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating allegations of Russian interference, has accused them of travelling to the United States and posing as Americans, with the aim of boosting the electoral prospects of Donald Trump against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The BBC's David Willis explains what's inside the 37-page indictment. It's been a tough week for Oxfam. Kimberley Scharf, a professor of economics at Birmingham University, explains why the repercussions will go far beyond the charity. We talk to Sheila Bair, a former chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, who believes small tweaks to US bank regulation could have major repercussions for the world's biggest economy.
