Today's Highlighted Video Story: The Prime Minister has imposed a new coronavirus alert system on England to try to stop the virus spiralling out of control. The 3 Tier system is replacing local lockdowns. Liverpool City Region is the first to be placed under the highest Tier 3 measures, which means the area is “at very high risk”. It means no mixing of households. Pubs and bars will be closed unless they serve what's being called a “substantial meal”. Most of the rest of England will be under Tier 1 restrictions - with medium levels of risk. In these areas current national rules continue, with the Rule of Six and a 10pm curfew for pubs, bars and restaurants.

Today's Highlighted Video Story: This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the World Food Programme. In the public mind, the WFP is often associated with famine relief. But it's mandate is actually much broader. It works extensively in war zones and with refugees around the world. Can the recognition that comes with the Nobel also draw attention to the use of food as a weapon in conflict zones and international efforts to prevent it?

8th October - Law News

Edition 3209: LawNewsIndex is a UK based legal news & articles archive. Since 2011, it has been collating articles on Law, Lawyers, Law Firms, Justice, Jurisprudence, Legislation, Litigation, Legal Ethics, Human Rights & Social Justice. The views expressed in individual articles archived within LawnewsIndex.com are solely the views of the original author.  

-------------------------------------------------------------

Focus of the Day Law Article:  The Bar Council has urged all Government Legal Department barristers to respond to a call for evidence around judicial review, saying it is important to provide a ‘broad range of perspectives from as many parts of government as possible’. The Independent Review of Administrative Law is seeking feedback from government departments over whether judicial review strikes the right balance between enabling citizens to challenge the lawfulness of government action and allowing the executive and local authorities to carry on the business of government. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

Today's Highlighted Video Story:  Around the world, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children as young as 10 with mental health conditions are being chained to trees, locked in sheds and even sometimes in cages for years at a time. Human Rights Watch Senior Disability Researcher Kriti Sharma tells The World how the practice of shackling is still used in around 60 countries.
