Today's video story: India's Reggae Resistance - Defending Dissent Under Modi: Indian musician Taru Dalmia is convinced his reggae sounds can play a role in political activism, and decides it's time to act when a wave of protests erupts at universities across India. To take his music into the hearts of rallies and communities, he raises money to build a giant sound system and hits the road. Taru hopes his hand-built stack of speakers can support protesters alleging that free speech is being suppressed under Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government. But he's uncertain how local artists and activists will react. Will they embrace his Jamaica-inspired music, or see him as a naive outsider out of touch with the country's politics?

Today's video story: Theresa May has said proposed changes to social care funding in England will now include an "absolute limit" on the money people will have to pay. The prime minister denied claims of a U-turn, saying she was responding to "shameful" claims that people would be forced to sell their family home. Last week's Tory manifesto did not mention a cap but the PM said her plans still offered a long-term solution. But Labour and the Lib Dems said the policy was "in meltdown".


Focus of the day story: Reform is looming for the process that young transgender Australians and their families must currently follow to get access to stage 2 treatment for gender alignment. Full story - Lawyers Weekly
