Today's Highlighted Video Story: Since November 2020, thousands of farmers have been on strike protesting new laws they fear will drive them out of business. But why and who are they? Farmers and their families have been protesting in India for months, camped out in Delhi demonstrating over the government's new farm laws which they think will ruin their livelihoods. The three new farming laws were brought in last summer. They loosen the rules around the sale, pricing and storage of farm produce - which means farmers can sell directly to private buyers, instead of government-controlled markets where they get a minimum guaranteed price.
Focus of the Day Article: Legislation for a second independence referendum will be published in the coming weeks, the Scottish government has confirmed. The draft bill will detail the timetable for another vote on Scottish independence. Full story - Scottish Legal News
