Today's Highlighted Video Story:  A long-awaited report into the causes of the Windrush scandal has concluded that decades of immigration law were designed to reduce the number of people of colour living in the UK.

But earlier this month, a tribunal said the findings must be disclosed and the Labour government has now published it.
