Today's Video Focus:  Thousands of #migrants and refugees massed at #Turkey's western frontier Sunday, trying to enter #Greece by land and sea after Turkey declared its borders were open to migrants hoping to enter the European Union. Many huddled against the cold late Sunday as darkness fell at the Pazarkule border crossing west of Istanbul, and further south at Ayvacik opposite the Greek island of Lesbos. The United Nations reported at least 13,000 people had gathered on Turkey's land border by Saturday night, the vast majority apparently from Afghanistan.

Focus of the Day Article: Judges have told of their fears road traffic accident (RTA) claims will cause a ‘logjam’ and district judges will be ‘overwhelmed’ when personal injury reforms are introduced later in the year. Full story - New Law Journal

Today's Video Focus:  In the midst of the 2020 US presidential race, President Donald Trump continues to enjoy overwhelming support from white evangelical Christian voters, with a recent poll finding 75 percent approve of the president. While Trump claims that "no president has ever done what I have done for evangelicals, or religion itself", Reverend William Barber believes that the evangelicals who support him are not an accurate representation of what it truly means to be evangelical. "What we see is a fake kind of a religion, a distorted moral narrative, where evangelicalism has been hijacked," Barber said.
