Today's video story: A German charity event to help starving African children has come under fire, after a woman filed a complaint that the name of the event's offensive. She forced the organizers to delete its Facebook page, in order not to spread racism online, but organizers claim they were well intentioned.

Focus of the day story: Justice Secretary Liz Truss is scrapping time limits that prevent victims of domestic violence from seeking legal aid for family court hearings on child custody and contact. Currently, victims have to demonstrate that they have been targeted by their abuser in the past five years in order to qualify for legal aid for private family law proceedings. The alternative is that they represent themselves, which often means confronting their abuser in court. Full story - New Law Journal

Today's video story: Uttar Pradesh - The Return Of Identity Politics? Change, development, jobs, efficiency, and an end to corruption, discrimination - it was these top promises as demonstrated by his popular slogan Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, that swayed the elections in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014. But two-and-half-years later, a different discourse is being heard in the Hindi heartland of Uttar Pradesh - instead of jobs, Make in India, Beti Padhao, the high-decibel campaign is now focussing on competitive communalism - allocation of money for "kabarastan and shamshan" (crematoria and burial grounds), from netas insinuating that laptops have been distributed on the basis of religion to parties boasting of fielding a sizeable number of Muslim candidates. Where does it lead us? An unending vortex of caste and identity politics from which India has been unable to pull itself out? A gargantuan obstacle that puts a leash on the immense talent and energy that the youth wants to use to build a new India - where equality is the bedrock and Vikaas (development) is the only political buzzword? A roadblock that stifles nation building from taking a sublime form and attaining the glorious height that is only bestowed to a religious ceremony?

Today's video story: Why do white men still control so much culture? Women of colour are regularly applauded in the worlds of fashion, film and music. But, argues Hanna Yusuf, critical acclaim – awards, reviews and write-ups – remains the domain of the rich few who control the industries. Because of this, she argues, non-white artists are missing out on the credit they deserve.

Today's video story: European countries need to do more to prevent an upsurge of violent attacks across the continent.

Focus of the day story: The total number of law firms registering conveyancing transactions rose 4% in 2016 to 5,572, halting five years going the other way, and they are busier than before the financial crash, new figures have shown. Search Acumen’s conveyancing market tracker – which uses Land Registry data – showed how the overall trend has been steeply downwards, with the number of active conveyancing firms in the market dropping by 28% in the last decade from around the 8,000 mark, despite 2016 activity hitting its highest point since 2007.
