Today's Highlighted Video Story:  AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria said the challenges ahead for developing a COVID-19 vaccine is not as big as distribution. He says research is not the biggest challenge, but it is buying and distributing the vaccine and ensuring it reaches remote corners. An effective strategy needs to be worked out to prioritise who get it first, how many dozes will be needed and could a combination of vaccines be better than just one.

Focus of the Day Law Article: Legal educator BPP has rebutted claims that it degraded the quality of teaching during lockdown and prioritised students with prestigious training contracts. Responding to a complaint lodged by a group of post-graduate students last month, BPP’s dean of academic quality partly upheld just four of the 27 issues raised.. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

Today's Highlighted Video Story:  The real crime in the Breonna Taylor case was the events that led Louisville police to Taylor's home and said the police work that led to the warrant was "very sloppy." A former police officer was indicted only on first-degree wanton endangerment charges for his actions on the night Breonna Taylor was killed by police. Two other officers who also fired shots during the botched March raid were not indicted, meaning no officer was charged with killing the 26-year-old Black EMT and aspiring nurse. After the decision was announced, members of the Kentucky National Guard and state police were activated as protesters took to the streets and some clashes erupted with officers in riot gear.
