Today's video story: More than $11m (£8.8m) is missing from The Gambia's state coffers following the departure of long-time leader Yahya Jammeh. Mr Jammeh flew into exile on Saturday, ending his 22 years in power.


FOCUS OF THE DAY story: The Supreme Court decision on bus company’s duties to wheelchair users strikes a “balance” between the law and real-life practicalities, a leading discrimination law solicitor has said. The case of FirstGroup plc v Paulley [2017] UKSC 4 arose from an incident in 2012 on a bus from Wetherby to Leeds, where a woman with a sleeping child in a buggy refused to move to allow wheelchair user, Doug Paulley, to take her place. The woman said her buggy would not fold. Paulley sued for unlawful discrimination on the grounds of disability. Full story - New Law Journal

Today's video story: Challenging inaccurate stories about Muslims. Last month there were nine corrections to articles concerning Muslims in the British media - this month has seen four so far.
The activist behind most of the complaints and corrections says inaccurate media reporting about Muslims has led to increased hatred. But critics argue there is an attempt to prevent criticism of Islam. The most high profile apology last month was given to a Muslim family falsely accused of being extremists by columnist Katie Hopkins in the Mail Online – one of the family has told our reporter that he would now like to invite Katie Hopkins for tea at his house.
