Germany's President Christian Wulff says he will not resign over his conduct in a home loan scandal.

He has come under increasing pressure after it emerged he had threatened a newspaper with legal action if it published details about the controversial loan.
In a recorded TV interview, Mr Wulff said the threat was a "serious mistake" for which he was sorry.
When asked whether he had considered stepping down, he replied: "No."
Mr Wulff said he had not thought of resigning because he had received considerable support over the past weeks from citizens, friends and colleagues.
He then tried to sum up his failings: "I know that I haven't done anything legally wrong - but not everything that I have done has been right."
"I gladly took on my [presidential] responsibilities. After my five-year term I want people to be able to make the judgement that I was a good, successful president," he told two journalists from the national ARD and ZDF networks.
Earlier, Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Georg Streiter, told a news briefing on Wednesday that she had "enormous respect for the work of the president". He added that she was confident Mr Wulff would "fully answer all relevant questions".
