Today's Video Focus: This content is the subject of a legal complaint made on behalf of Victoria Woodcock Shahmir Sanni, who worked for the official Vote Leave campaign, today breaks cover to raise concerns that the group behind the knife-edge 2016 vote in favour of Brexit – including key figures now working for Theresa May in Downing Street – may have broken the law by flouting referendum spending rules and then attempting to destroy evidence.  Sanni claims that a donation of £625,000 was made by Vote Leave to an independent referendum campaign organisation called BeLeave. Sanni says that the money, which was then channeled to a Canadian digital services firm, AggregateIQ, that has links to the controversial Cambridge Analytica, violated election regulations. The donation was sanctioned by the most senior figures in Vote Leave, including campaign director Dominic Cummings and CEO Matthew Elliott Cambridge Analytica whistleblower: 'We spent $1m harvesting millions of Facebook profiles' – video.


Focus of the Day Story: US corporate legal departments continue to battle with a budget squeeze, highlighting cost controls and technology, according to the third edition of the Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker Legal Department Operations (LDO) Index.

Additionally, 25 per cent report a budget decrease, while 40 per cent report their budget remains flat. Full story - The Global Legal Post

Today's Video Focus:  The prospect of a trade war slowing down the world's economy means investors have been reassessing where to put their money. In recent weeks, developing market currencies like the Turkish lira and Argentina's peso have fallen to their weakest levels in months against the US dollar. For the time being, the US Federal Reserve is the only major central bank raising interest rates, and that's lending support to the dollar.

Today's Video Focus:  The Uttar Pradesh Police apologised after three policemen were seen escorting a mob who dragged on the ground an alleged lynching victim. But the department only apologised after a photograph of the incident went viral on social media. The photograph, the police say, was taken a few minutes after the police arrived and tried to take the victims to hospital. They claim the victim was dragged, because there was no ambulance available but say the policemen should have been more sensitive in their conduct. Is this apology from the UP police acceptable? Can the police get away with just an apology or is exemplary action needed to set an example?
