Today's video story: From Belfast to Cork to understand what effect Brexit is having on the future of the island. Could Brexit lead way to a united Ireland?
Focus of the day story: The language used, rather than the surrounding circumstances, provides the most important means of interpreting contracts, Lord Sumption has said.
