Today's Video Focus: The South African government is debating whether to expropriate land from white farmers and give it to black South Africans. Land expropriation means taking property and land without any form of financial compensation.

Focus of the Day story: Solicitors caught up in the bar's protest against the government's legal aid reforms should not be bullied or blamed, the chair of the Criminal Bar Association has said, as barristers prepare to escalate their action. The association has advised its 4,000 members to adopt a 'no returns' policy from Friday 25 May. It would start to take effect in courts after the late-May bank holiday.
