Today's Video Focus: Marooned on a British army base for nearly 20 years. The future of five
families from Sudan, Ethiopia, Syria and Iraq - 10 adults and 17
children, recognised as refugees - will be decided by the UK's most
senior judges.
They were shipwrecked off the coast of Cyprus in 1998, rescued by the
RAF, housed on a military base but repeatedly denied resettlement in
Britain.
We have been to Cyprus to see how these families have survived two
decades in limbo while both countries dispute which is ultimately
responsible for them.
Focus of the Day Article:
Suspects detained under latest terrorism legislation making its way
through parliament could be questioned for an hour unaccompanied by a
solicitor, the Law Society has warned. Even then, the onus is on the
detainee to request a solicitor and consultations would not be private,
Chancery Lane added. The Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill
will have its second reading in the House of Lords next month. Chancery
Lane has flagged up multiple concerns that appear to undermine
suspects' rights to legal advice.
