Today's video story: Three NGOs have suspended migrant search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean citing threats from the Libyan Coast Guard, leaving what they describe as a “deadly gap” in the area.


Focus of the day story: Securing a job in law is hard. Summer can be a brutal time of application forms, assessment days, interviews and rejections. Some students will be invited to a placement. Others won’t get anything and will continue their search into next year. Charles Smith, a 28-year-old solicitor from Liverpool, says he found the process soul-destroying. “It made me wonder if I’d ever actually practise. I’d go on Facebook and see 153 likes on a post saying someone had just got something, and I’d think maybe I was just one of the unlucky ones.”. Full story: Guardian Law

Today's video story: The Guardian investigates the causes behind the murder of Tristan Voorspuy, a former British army officer shot on his ranch by armed nomadic herders in March. For months, Kenya’s central county of Laikipia has become the epicentre​ of a bloody conflict between pastoralists from the north and farmers whose land they have invaded. A severe drought aggravated by climate change is partly to blame, but so is political manoeuvering ahead of last week's general elections.

Focus of the day story: All employment law claims reliant on the Supreme Court’s ruling that employment tribunal fees are unlawful have been stayed. In R (on the application of Unison) v Lord Chancellor [2017] UKSC 51, at the end of July, the Supreme Court held that charging claimants fees for bringing claims to the employment tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal, is unlawful.

Today's video story: Krishan Kumar Khanna grew up just outside Lahore, Pakistan's second-largest city. After a childhood he remembers fondly, his life changed dramatically in August 1947. As Britain left the Indian subcontinent, colonial planners hastily split it into Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan. Khanna was forced to join one of the largest migrations in human history, as sectarian violence erupted and millions fled in both directions to save their lives. He has dreamed of going back ever since and, after trying for several years, Khanna finally obtained a visa to return to Pakistan. Despite deep tensions, he's determined to show that people in the neighbouring nations still have much more in common than that which divides them.
