Today's Video Focus: A record number of refugees arrived in Europe between 2015 and 2016. First comes the excitement but soon they realise it is not entirely like home. Two years have passed and refugees living in UK, Spain, France and Germany tell whether reality met their expectations.
Focus of the Day story: A major research project is being launched into the way the justice system treats women who kill abusive men. Criminal lawyers, both prosecution and defence, are invited to contribute to the study, which is being run by the Centre for Women’s Justice and Justice for Women. They can take part by completing a survey on the topic by 17 June, at: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CWJresearch. Full story - New Law Journal
