Today's Video Focus: For years Arron Banks has styled himself as the bad boy of Brexit, a man who poured millions of pounds into UKIP and the Brexit campaign from his personal fortune, made from a multitude of businesses. The jewel in the crown - perhaps his diamond business, with mines in Southern Africa and a shop in Bristol. He denies allegation of bribery in Lesotho over mining interest.

Focus of the Day Story:

High numbers of low-quality suspicious activity reports (SARs) are making it difficult to investigate money laundering, the Law Commission has warned.
Law firms are regularly criticised for generating only a small fraction of the SARs received by the National Crime Agency.

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?
