Today's video story: Vicky Mohieddeen is a British woman who regularly visits North Korea from Beijing where she works for a tour company that takes foreigners into the "Hermit Kingdom". She knows the place well, has a respect for its people but realises too that she can't allow herself - or the revealing images she takes and puts on social media - to act as a mouthpiece for the country, so often condemned as aggressive and belligerent by the international community. She says she's not interested in taking those cliched "rare glimpse" pictures, but wants to use her photos of daily life in Pyongyang and beyond to connect.
Focus of the day story: McKenzie Friends tread ‘fine line’ providing non-legal advice. What it means to conduct litigation is not clear, researchers find. Full story - Solicitors Journal
