Today's Video Focus: A new Mosque has been opened in Hamburg in a building that used to be a protestant church. During the renovation that took five years, a lot's been said about multiculturalism and integration.

 

Focus of the Day Article:

 The Chair of the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) has hit out at ‘completely unacceptable’ delays to £15m fee increases promised by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). The MoJ is currently consulting on the spending increase, which would be fed into the advocates’ graduated fee scheme (AGFS) for criminal defence advocates in the Crown Court. The MoJ promised the extra money at a meeting with the CBA in May, in return for criminal barristers suspending their protest action.

Today's Video Focus: Electricity and drinking water are in short supply in the Iraqi city of Basra. More than 20 protesters were killed earlier this month when anti-government demonstrations turned violent. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said last week that practical measures were underway to address the problem of potable water and the lack of services in Basra province.

Focus of the Day Article:

The Legal Services Board (LSB) has received unprecedented lobbying against the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s (SRA) plans to allow solicitors to practise from unregulated businesses.
It comes as research shows widespread ignorance among solicitors in small firms about the change.
The LSB is currently considering the SRA’s proposed new Handbook, the most controversial element of which is freeing up solicitors to deliver unregulated legal services to clients from unregulated businesses.
