Today's video story: Could you afford your mortgage if interest rates rise in Australia? 1 in 4 mortgaged households are already in stress, meaning they struggle to cover both loan repayments and living expenses.



Focus of the day story: Judges are entitled to expect assistance from advocates when dealing with lengthy sentencing lists, the Court of Appeal has said in a case highlighting challenges with 'modern' sentencing legislation. In Dean Christopher Maxwell v R, Lord Justice Treacy, said sentencing judges are often burdened with long lists. 'They have a right to expect appropriate assistance from the advocates before them', he insisted in the judgment, published this week. 'It is clear that no such consideration or assistance was given by the advocates in this case, either before the judge came to sentence or indeed after he had sentenced in a flawed manner in a number of respects, or had failed to pass sentence on certain matters at all.'.

Today's video story: Life Inside Bali's infamous Kerobokan prison. To many, Bali’s Kerobokan jail is a place of creepy fascination, a repository of misery in an island playground. But what’s it really like in there? For the first time a TV crew has obtained virtually unrestricted access to all corners of Kerobokan’s men’s prison. 



Focus of the day story: Lawyers have given a cautious welcome to the government’s Brexit position paper calling for a cross-border civil judicial cooperation framework. Under current reciprocal arrangements, a decision made by a court in the UK can be enforced in other EU Member States, enabling citizens to enforce orders made by the civil and family courts on commerce, trade and family matters such as child custody and maintenance.

Today's video story: Philippines outrage grows over children killed in anti-drug raids. Philippine police have told a Senate inquiry that a high school student they killed in an anti-drug raid last week had been involved in narcotics - but they only learned of this after they shot him dead. His death has caused public outrage in the Philippines, with critics accusing President Rodrigo Duterte of turning a blind eye to police abuses. Duterte says his crackdown on drugs will not stop - but has told police to only kill if necessary.


Focus of the day story: A legal profession divided into barristers and solicitors has contributed to the UK's judiciary lagging in diversity, the incoming president of the Supreme Court has suggested. Lady Hale, who takes over from Lord Neuberger in October as head of the highest court in the UK, said traditional assumptions 'about who gets which sort of judicial job' should be abandoned. Hale was called to the bar in 1969. Hale told the Constitutional Law Summer School in Belfast this month that women making up a fifth of the High Court and Court of Appeal, and a sixth of the Supreme Court, was 'not really a cause for celebration' nearly 100 years after the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919.
