Today's video story: Why is society so frightened of women without children? It has its roots in patriarchy. The proportion of women not having children before the menopause has reached a record high in the last decade. Here, women from the UK, France and Spain discuss the taboo of childlessness that they say comes from a dated societal structure – and celebrate International Women’s Day by affirming female identity beyond motherhood.


Focus of the day story: Clients are drawn to the advice more than the adviser, says Susskind. The days of lawyers as trusted advisers are numbered because a reliable outcome to their issue is more important to clients than a relationship with their lawyer, Professor Richard Susskind has claimed. Along with his son Daniel, he also expressed concern about the impact of Brexit on the UK maintaining its focus on what a period of unprecedented technological progress means for the country.
