Today's Video Focus: For years, critics of the government's counter-terrorism strategy, the
Prevent programme, have claimed it stigmatises the Muslim community.
But last year, the number of people referred to Prevent over concerns
about far-right extremism rose by more than a third. This programme has
been given exclusive access to the first Prevent group aimed at a group
of mothers from predominantly white areas of Bradford. Channel 4 News
has been speaking to them about why an increasing number of young, white
people are vulnerable to radicalisation.
Focus of the Day story:
Solicitors at smaller firms believe that clients’ focus on price is
compromising their work and even their ability to uphold the law, a
survey has suggested. LexisNexis’s latest Bellwether research said
the profession has a “perplexing blindspot” when it came to
understanding the important of price for clients that indicated a wider
“disconnect” between solicitors and clients.
