Focus of the Day Law Article: Home Office wrong to refer to 'activist lawyers', top official admits. Permanent secretary accepts complaint over use of term in deportation video as charter flight carrying asylum seekers is cancelled. Full story - Guardian Law

In the video above, we get a rare and intimate look at three — a hospitalist, a physician assistant and a palliative care physician — who worked at one of the hardest-hit hospitals in the Bronx. They’re confronting an unanswerable question: Did they do enough?
The deaths may have subsided, but medical workers are still dealing with the devastation.
