Today's Video Focus:  China has passed a law aimed at preventing a repeat of last year's pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. There has been strong international condemnation of the hastily-passed legal crackdown, which is already leading to anti-Beijing groups disbanding.

It also urged tax incentives to encourage solicitors’ investment in technology as well as continuing wider financial support, such as a temporary cut in VAT. The new campaign, dubbed ‘Return, Restart and Recovery’, said allowing firms to spend the apprenticeship levy on a wider range of support would allow them “to create the new jobs that will provide the backbone of the sector in the long term”.
