Today's Highlighted Video Story: The number of people killed in Iran’s Evin prison fire has risen from four to eight, the country’s judiciary said.
Officials said dozens more were injured in the blaze in the Tehran jail, which is known for holding political prisoners and dual nationals.
The cause of the fire is disputed: the judiciary says the fire began in a prison workshop after a fight among inmates, whereas state TV claims it was a "premeditated" escape plan by prisoners.
Focus of the Day Article: A ‘one lawyer, two clients’ model for family law cases has been
launched by family law organisation, Resolution, with the backing of the
president of the Family Division, Sir Andrew McFarlane. Full story - New Law Journal
