Today's video story: The political and military elite of South Sudan have made themselves rich while the country has been impoverished by a civil war of their making, according to a report commissioned by George Clooney. An investigative unit called “The Sentry” co-funded by the actor, and activist John Prendergast, spent two years following the money trail.
 

Focus of the Day story: The President of the Supreme Court once found himself justifying the inconsistencies in an elderly man’s unconvincing evidence because his mannerisms reminded him of his recently deceased father. Lord Neuberger recalled the experience while giving a speech on judicial ethics, at the recent Singapore Panel on Judicial Ethics and Dilemmas on the Bench. He said all human beings have preconceived ideas and notions, and the “important thing is that judges are as aware as they can be of any biases or prejudices they suffer from, and that they acknowledge and take into account those biases and prejudices when evaluating witnesses and their evidence.” Full story - New Law Journal

Today's video story: A day after Indian social activist Anna Hazare said that he is "very saddened to see" some of the colleagues of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal getting embroiled in various controversies, it was the turn of former Aam Aadmi Party leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan to voice their opinion on the ongoing crisis in AAP.
 


Focus of the day: Deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) are acceptable even in the most serious cases of financial misconduct – so long as the perpetrator cooperates with the authorities, a government fraud-buster said today. This means 'telling us everything', Matthew Wagstaff, joint head of bribery and corruption at the Serious Fraud Office, said. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

Today's video story: Interview with Former Central Intelligence Agency boss Michael Hayden, who also served for six years as the head of the US electronic spying division, the National Security Agency (NSA)
 


Focus of the day: The Bar Council has slammed the Bar Standards Board’s (BSB) forthcoming continuing professional development (CPD) regime as being burdensome, complicated, unfit for purpose, and involving “pointless” self-assessment. Making fundamental objections in response to a consultation on the rules and regulations of the new scheme – which comes into force in January 2017 – the Bar Council warned that it would lead to “many practitioners” being “likely to fail in their compliance” due to a failure to cope with “unnecessary formalities” imposed on barristers, not through a lack of professional competence.
