[world politics news]


Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he "made a mistake" by joining in talks for giving a lucrative government contract to a charity that paid his wife and other family members.

WE Charity was tapped by his government to oversee a C$900m ($664m, £533m) youth volunteer programme in June.

It later emerged that WE previously paid Trudeau's relatives over C$280,000 to speak at events.

Trudeau now faces his third ethics commission inquiry in office over the scandal
