Today's Highlighted Video Story: The capital of Armenia is once again experiencing protests following Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's controversial sacking of the chief of the armed forces.
The current volatility has been mostly fueled by a dispute over weaponry. The PM claimed that Russian-made Iskander missile systems had failed in the Nagorno-Karabakh war – while the Russian Defence Ministry says Armenia didn't even use that weapon in the conflict.
Focus of the Day Article: In a judgment handed down on 17 February 2021, the High Court has ruled
that the Self Employment Income Support Scheme (“the Scheme”) introduced
during the coronavirus pandemic does not indirectly discriminate
against self-employed women who have taken a period of leave relating to
maternity or pregnancy in the last three tax years. Full story - UK Human Rights Blog
