Today's video story: Former Donald Trump ghostwriter Tony Schwartz says he regrets working on "The Art of the Deal," and never envisioned Trump running for president.


Focus of the day story: The belated response of the lord chancellor to the shameful attacks on three senior judges by the Mail, Express and Telegraph (Report, 7 November) was the bare minimum required of her by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and by her oath of office: to “defend the independence of the judiciary”. It fell far short of the forceful condemnation which she should have delivered to those who seek to undermine the crucial role of the judges as guardians of our democracy against the abuse of executive power.

Today's video story: There's been talk of a wall on one end, and open borders on the other. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump's plans for immigration couldn't be more different. And that might make it a deciding issue in this year's US presidential election. Latino voters are expected to turn out in record numbers on Tuesday. And their numbers have spiked during early voting these past few weeks. They normally vote democrat, and this year is no exception. Polls suggest Trump is expected to get fewer Latino votes than any other Republican candidate in 35 years. So, why has immigration played such a big role in this election campaign?


Focus of the day story: The right of children to express their views in legal matters affecting them (the right of active engagement) is increasingly recognised in jurisdictions around the world, but significant barriers remain according to a new report by legal think-tank the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law, which analyses these barriers, and the ways to overcome them, in different jurisdictions.

Today's video story: At the Golden Temple Complex in the Indian city of Amritsar, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister talks about the newly built Heritage street, takes on his political rivals and challenges the AIIMS report on Punjab drug menace. On the Buck Stops Here, Sukhbir Badal calls Navjot Sidhu a 'human bomb', compares Arvind Kejriwal to a new mobile phone and terms Captain Amarinder Singh the 'most non serious politician'. Rejecting Rahul Gandhi's charge of 70% Punjab being drug addicts, Sukhbir Badal says Congress citing a criminal, Jagdish Bhola's statement to level baseless accusation.


Focus of the Day story: The European arrest warrant has helped the UK  extradite suspects quicker and more cheaply, the director of public prosecutions said today, highlighting potential challenges with international criminal justice cooperation after the UK leaves the EU. Alison Saunders told the House of Lords EU home affairs sub-committee that up to 150 extraditions to the UK over recent years would not have been possible without the European arrest warrant (EAW).
