Today's Video Focus: Three and a half thousand troops are on standby, while letters to 140,000 businesses are warning them to prepare for the worst. The government says that although pursuing Theresa May's Brexit deal is still its top priority, it's now begun ramping up its preparations for no deal.

Today's Video Focus: Some same-sex couples in Brazil are rushing to get married, fearful that right-wing President-elect Jair Bolsonaro will challenge their right to wed after taking office next year. Mr Bolsonaro has been criticised for homophobic comments, including saying that he would rather have a dead son than a gay son. Brazil legalised same-sex marriage in 2013. Mr Bolsonaro has said gay people would be "happy with his government" and lawyers say reversing the law would in any case require a complicated constitutional amendment.

Hundreds of trafficked children ‘lost’ by local authorities, As nearly 25% go missing from council care, studies claim the system is failing victims of trafficking.
