Today's Highlighted Video Story: In the late 1990s cases of HIV/Aids soared in South Africa.
By 1998 almost 3 million people were infected, and Aids was the country’s leading cause of death.
Yet anti-retroviral drugs were too expensive for all but the richest South Africans.
Activists began a long campaign for the right to import and use cheaper versions of the vital drugs.
Focus of the Day Article: With the current turmoil in Westminster, attention to the government’s proposed Bill of Rights Bill
has temporarily fallen away. But whatever the leadership contest throws
up, the debate still rages: do we repeal and replace the Human Rights
Act 1998? Leave it in place, or update it? Dominic Raab’s Bill will
probably have to wait a while for its second reading in the Commons; in
the mean time, Rosalind English combs through its provisions with Andrew
Warnock QC, whose practice at 1 Chancery Chambers involves many cases
involving claims based on the European Convention of Human Rights and
the 1998 Act. Listen to Episode 167 for an in-depth survey of the new Bill’s proposals. Full story - New Law Journal
