Today's Video Focus: There has been no official reaction in the Arab world to the possible murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey. The Arab world stays silent. A Saudi journalist and critic of the Saudi leadership has possibly been killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. But there's been no official reaction from any Arab government, and no condemnation from the Arab media. The international community is demanding answers, and pressure is growing on Saudi Arabia to explain Khashoggi's disappearance. Now reports are emerging about evidence said to prove the journalist was murdered soon after entering the consulate and that the smartwatch he was wearing could potentially help solve the mystery. The Turkish newspaper Sabah, quoting security sources, says the journalist may even have recorded his own death and the audio recording sent to both his phone and icloud. So what's behind the Arab silence?

2478th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based news & legal articles archive focusing on Law, Lawyers, Law Firms, Justice, Legislation, Legal Ethics, Human Rights & Social Justice issues.

Today's Video Focus: Brett Kavanaugh has become the fifth conservative judge in America’s highest court, after being narrowly confirmed by senators and quickly sworn in amid protests in the aftermath of sexual assault allegations against him.

 

Focus of the Day Article:
The Criminal Bar Association (CBA) is consulting heads of chambers about potentially resuming direct action protests unless the government fulfils its promise of extra funds. In May, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) offered criminal barristers an extra £15m for publicly funded defence work in the Crown Court in return for the Bar suspending its boycott of reforms to the Advocates’ Graduated Fee Scheme.
