Today's video story: Giselle Cycowicz's father was murdered in the Holocaust - his name is part of a project hoping to identify all Jewish victims.What about other victims of Nazi brutality?


Focus of the day story: Probate lawyers have welcomed the government’s decision to drop its plans to hike probate court fees from £155 to as much as £20,000 for larger estates. The proposal, first announced in February 2016, would have increased the fee from £155 (if done by a solicitor) or £215 (without a solicitor) to a figure on a sliding scale of between £300 and £20,000, depending on the size of the estate. It was to raise about £300m for the courts and tribunals. However, the proposal came under fire from practitioners, professional bodies, charities, judges and members of the public, with probate lawyers arguing it would no longer be a fee for managing an administrative process but a tax on a person’s wealth at death.

Today's video story: If you 'vote for Narendra Modi's party BJP,  you risk your child's life': Arvind Kejriwal ahead of Sunday's vote. Two days before the critical civic election in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal's appeal to citizens has been interpreted as a bizarre threat by his rivals. "If you vote for the BJP then you will be responsible if you have dengue in your family," the Delhi Chief Minister said in a series of tweets.


Focus of the day story: The Legal Services Board (LSB) has said it expects frontline regulators to introduce compulsory “minimum disclosures” by law firms on price, service, redress and regulatory status. In its response to the Competition and Market Authority (CMA) market study of legal services, the LSB agreed with the CMA that “the market cannot be expected to mend itself” without regulatory action.
