Today's Highlighted Video Story: The Taliban are preparing to hold their first big gathering since seizing power in Afghanistan. No women have been invited to the event. The Taliban's deputy prime minister said women would be represented by the men attending. The meeting involves more than 3,000 Muslim scholars and tribal leaders from across the country.
Focus of the Day Article: Giving evidence to the House of Lords Fraud Act 2006 and Digital Fraud Select Committee last week, Hill recommended the government consider court powers to reimburse victims with any additional funds that are recovered. Currently, a Confiscation Order identifies the amount a criminal financially benefited from their crime and orders repayment. If the criminal is later found to have additional money and assets, the Confiscation Order can be increased. Full story - New Law Journal
