 Today's Highlighted Video Story:  Everyday life for people in Sri Lanka has become a major challenge. Essentials like food, medicine and fuel are much more expensive -- and that's if they're even available. The pandemic and a recession are being blamed. And a dramatic fall in the value of Sri Lankan rupee, is making things worse.

 Today's Highlighted Video Story:  A court in Delhi in India has came down heavily on the Delhi Police for its probe into a 2020 riots case, saying that its failure to conduct a proper investigation will "torment" the sentinels of democracy when history will look back at the worst communal riots in the national capital since partition.

2nd September - Law News

Edition 3537: LawNewsIndex is a UK based daily legal news archive on Law, Lawyers, Law Firms, Justice, Jurisprudence, Legislation, Litigation, Legal Ethics & Human Rights since 2011.   

-------------------------------------------------------------

 Today's Highlighted Video Story: In 1915 the president, Woodrow Wilson, screened the movie Birth of a Nation at the White House – a film that depicts Black men as brutal people who desire white women. Meanwhile white supremacist groups were writing school curriculums and news media were painting Black men as animalistic beings who attacked white women. This set the scene for a week of racial violence targeting Black Americans in 1919, during which two American cities were left in chaos. In Chicago it started with a Black man drowning after white people throw stones at him at a beach for infringing on their space. It led to a confrontation between Black and white citizens, and escalated into white mobs going into Black communities to burn down homes and kill Black people. In Washington DC it started with a minor argument that turned into rape allegations against two Black men, which prompted white mobs to attack Black people in restaurants, trolleys and in their communities. Dozens of Black people were killed during these riots, and few were held accountable.
 
 Focus of the Day Article: More families will benefit from publicly funded family mediation following a fresh cash injection by the government. A further £800,000 has been allocated to a voucher scheme launched five months ago with £1m of initial funding. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

 Today's Highlighted Video Story: When the Ever Given became stuck in the Suez canal in March 2021, people woke up to the sheer size of these megaships. But these vessels, which now dominate container shipping, have been quietly ballooning in size for more than 50 years, and even doubling in capacity every few years since the turn of the millennium. The bigger they have grown, the more problems they have caused for consumers and producers, problems that extend much further than getting stuck

 Focus of the Day Article: In 2009 the EU embarked on a roadmap for strengthening procedural rights of suspects and accused persons in criminal proceedings. An instrument of this kind had been attempted before but was too ambitious – not least as the UK blocked it. But Sweden was determined as part of its six-month EU Presidency to get a step-by-step approach agreed. The safeguards were seen as an important response to the mutual recognition project that produced the European arrest warrant, investigation order, supervision order, instrument on transfer of prisoners and various others. The UK in fact concluded that these were necessary law enforcement measures in 2014 when it exercised the Protocol 36 to the Lisbon Treaty option to depart from police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and then opted back into 35.
