Today's video story: Tensions flared on Friday after a French mayor led a protest march in a Paris suburb to demand local Muslims stop praying outdoors. Remi Muzeau, the right-wing mayor of Clichy in the northwest quadrant of Paris, was joined by dozens of politicians and protesters demanding around 200 Muslims stop praying in the street. Police had to keep the two sides separated as violence erupted as the protesters tried to stop people from praying outside.

Today's video story: As China's Xi Jinping consolidates his hold on power, the BBC gets a rare first hand account of his "war on law". Lawyer Xie Yanyi tells John Sudworth the authorities are allegedly harassing his family following his 18 months in detention.
 

Focus of the day story: Magistrates under pressure to conduct 'speedy justice' are reluctant to release offenders back into the community, a senior representative of the magistracy has revealed. Sheena Jowett, deputy chair of the Magistrates Association, told a Westminster Legal Policy Forum seminar on probation services that offenders' behaviour is often linked to possible mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse, learning difficulties and a possible history of trauma. Jowett said: 'We are being pushed for speedy justice these days. If someone is before us and pleads guilty, we are expected to deal with them on the day. If someone pleads not guilty, we do a pre-trial review, look at what's going on and set a trial date... One hearing for a guilty plea, two hearings for a not guilty plea.'.

Today's video story:  In a stunning twist in the murder of a seven-year-old in the toilet of Ryan International School in Gurgaon in September, a senior student has been detained by the CBI.

Today's video story:  A massive leak of more than 13m files reveals the hidden wealth of some of the world’s richest people including sports stars, celebrities and heads of state. The Paradise Papers show how complex schemes set up in offshore islands can help the super-rich avoid billions in tax.


Focus of the day story: A law firm has been ordered to reveal to the tax man aspects of the advice it gave to a client after a tribunal found that the client had waived privilege in its grounds to bring an appeal out of time. However, to ensure that advice irrelevant to the issue at hand was not disclosed, the tribunal said it would review all redactions considered appropriate by Milton Keynes firm Altion Law.
