Today's Video Focus: Brunei is introducing strict new anti-LGBT laws, with some offences
punishable by stoning to death - a move which has sparked international
condemnation.
Two Bruneians, who have left the country, share their experiences of
what it's like growing up as an LGBT person in Brunei.
Focus of the Day Article:
At least some MPs are doing their day job. This week the Commons justice committee demanded that all prison sentences of less than a year be scrapped, in a drastic measure apparently to slash the prison population in England and Wales, and because short sentences do not work. Assuming it does not just mean longer sentences, this is good news.
