Today's Video Focus: Both health experts and the Labour party have accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of misleading the public over his promise to give £1.8 billion to the English NHS.

This is the latest in a series of spending pledges Mr Johnson has made since taking office.

Focus of the Day Article:
Cuts to legal aid and stigmatisation of clients seeking asylum arising from Brexit have added to the emotional toll suffered by lawyers practising in the field, research has found.
