Today's Video Focus: There comes a time in our lives when we all have to stand up for something important and push back. We have to speak up, speak out and hold elected politicians accountable for their actions. For us, that time is now. The rape and murder of the eight-year-old girl in Kathua is so gut wrenching, not only because she was drugged, gang-raped and had her head smashed in, but also because politicians, ministers of the BJP, leaders of even the Congress party, were backing the men who did this to her. Finally tonight, after days of silence, the prime minister has spoken, promising justice.

Focus of the Day story: Demand for commercial legal advice will rise over the next 18 months, according to an annual market bellwether*, but some sectors are becoming crowded with law firm teams created to serve specific industries. Of 180 large and SME businesses surveyed by IRN Research, most expect their demands for legal services to stay unchanged over that period. But nearly a third of large businesses and 16% of SMEs predict a rise in their use of external advice. Just 9% of large businesses and 11% of SMEs expect a fall. Most large businesses reported using more than one law firm. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

Today's Video Focus: Israeli fighter jets struck a target in the Gaza Strip today after it was claimed explosives had been found near the border. And tonight it was reported that a Palestinian rocket had landed in Israel, though in both cases nobody was hurt. Thousands of Palestinians have been protesting along the border in the run-up to the anniversary of Israel's foundation 70 years ago. And dozens have been killed by Israeli gunfire near the fence. Our foreign affairs correspondent Jonathan Rugman has been visiting the border camps and meeting some of the hundreds injured.



Focus of the Day story: A London-based law firm has filed a claim for judicial review against the Law Society’s decision not to reaccredit a solicitor who had been on its mental health panel for nearly a decade. Rebecca Hill of GT Stewart told Legal Futures that the decision meant she has had to stop working in an area about which she is “passionate”, and longstanding clients have had to find new representation. Ms Hill first joined the society’s mental health accreditation scheme in 2008. From August 2014, it has been a requirement of the Legal Aid Agency that all publicly funded representatives before the Mental Health Tribunal are members of the scheme. Full story - Legal Futures
