 Today's Highlighted Video Story: In northern Ethiopia, after months of brutal fighting the government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front have reached a truce. But for the people of Tigray, trapped between hunger and brutality in the north where the government has enforced an economic blockade and being imprisoned in a detention camp if they move south - the calm has brought little respite.

 

Focus of the Day Article: A leaked report from the Ministry of Justice has suggested that Dominic Raab is considering reforms to judicial review that would effectively limit ministers’ accountability. This comes in the context of Suella Braverman’s suggestions that judicial reviews are being brought for ‘political ends’, and Lord Reed’s cautionary note regarding campaigning organisations bringing challenges to discrimination law, having lobbied unsuccessfully against such legislation whilst it was considered in Parliament (R (on the application of SC, CB and 8 children) (Appellants) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and others (Respondents) 2021, 162).
