Today's video story: Two years of war in Yemen have created what the UN has described as the world's largest humanitarian crisis. As well as impending famine, the country is also facing an unprecedented outbreak of cholera. In the past month 52,000 cases of suspected cholera have been reported. The World Health Organisation believes more than 400 people have died in the past month.

Ruling in Cameron v Hussain and another [2017] EWCA Civ 366 this week, Lady Justice Gloster and Lord Justice Lloyd Jones (Sir Ross Cranston dissenting) allowed a claimant injured by an unidentified hit and run driver of a vehicle that was traced and covered by insurance to recover from the vehicle's insurers. They did this by citing the untraced driver as a party described by reference to the car he was driving and the accident details. Full story - New Law Journal
