Today's Video Focus: Russia’s meddling in the United States’ elections is not a hoax. It’s the culmination of Moscow’s decades-long campaign to tear the West apart. “Operation InfeKtion” reveals the ways in which one of the Soviets’ central tactics — the promulgation of lies about America — continues today, from Pizzagate to George Soros conspiracies. Meet the KGB spies who conceived this virus and the American truth squads who tried — and are still trying — to fight it. Countries from Pakistan to Brazil are now debating reality, and in Vladimir Putin’s greatest triumph, Americans are using Russia’s playbook against one another without the faintest clue.

Focus of the Day Article:

Regulators have vowed to take action against any solicitor found to have neglected their wider obligations simply to keep a client happy. In an update published today, the Solicitors Regulation Authority reminded practitioners they must adhere to all their professional obligations when engaged in litigation. The SRA cited the example of the use of non-disclosure agreements, incorporating issues such as discrimination, harassment or sexual abuse. Where lawyers have arranged these agreements, they are reminded they still have a duty to act with integrity and uphold the rule of law.

Today's Video Focus: The Polish Prime Minister has said he wants Poles living in the UK to come back home, where there’s full employment and an economic boom. Channel 4 News have spoken to two Polish families who are going home because, they say, there are more opportunities there. Fourteen years ago, when the EU expanded, it was quite the opposite story, as hundreds of thousands of east Europeans came here for work. Now it’s not just Brexit and an uncertain future tempting them to return.

Focus of the Day Article:

Litigation is not a “blank cheque” and divorcing people cannot behave on the basis that they are bound to be reimbursed for their costs, a leading family law judge has warned. Mr Justice Francis said that “people who adopt unreasonable positions in litigation cannot simply do so confident that there will be an indemnity for the costs of the litigation behaviour, however unreasonable it may have been”.

Today's Video Focus: A rocky peninsula is again emerging as a big hurdle standing in the way of Britain's exit from the EU. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is demanding that the Brexit agreement clarify that the status of Gibraltar will be directly negotiated between Madrid and London. UK-controlled Gibraltar voted overwhelmingly to stay within the EU and, while residents appear to be resigned to the impending Brexit, they and large numbers of Spanish workers employed across the border still face an uncertain future.
