Today's Video Focus: It's a revolution against the man who led the revolution in Nicaragua. 39 years ago Daniel Ortega and Sandinista rebels were victorious in deposing president Anastasio Somoza. The left-wing rebel fighters called him a dictator - which is exactly what many are calling Ortega now. The three-time President's defied almost four months of protests against his rule. At least 300 protesters killed, thousands injured and condemnations from all over the world, from both friends and foes. So, what's next for Nicaragua?

Today's Video Focus: Vote Leave, which was the official Brexit campaign backed by Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, has been fined and referred to the police for breaking the law. Vote Leave's unlawful funnelling of cash through the youth-focused campaign group BeLeave was first exposed by Channel 4 News and The Guardian back in March when three whistleblowers came forward. They said Vote Leave had broken the law by handing £675,000 to BeLeave to pay controversial data firm Aggregate IQ. We talk to Shahmir Sanni, a former Vote Leave volunteer.

Focus of the Day Story:
The decision to postpone reform of the personal injury market has been met with unanimous approval - even from the insurers baying for change. Interested parties came out yesterday in support of the government’s revised plan to implement the Civil Liability Bill in April 2020 - a year later than originally envisaged. The revised plans were included in the government’s response to the Justice Select Committee’s critical report on the detail and process of reform.
