Today's video story: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has narrowly won a referendum to expand presidential powers, which could keep him in office until 2029. With 99.45% of ballots counted, the "Yes" campaign had won 51.37% and "No" 48.63%, and the electoral board called victory for "Yes". Erdogan supporters say replacing the parliamentary system with an executive presidency will modernise the country. Turkey's two main opposition parties said they would challenge the results.

Today's video story: As Malcolm X said, we should be more wary of those who are dishonest about their dark intentions than about outwardly prejudiced people. May’s stance on migration, schools and deportation proves, Andrews says, that she is the ‘northern fox’ of whom we need to be wary. Kehinde Andrews argues the British prime minister is a bigger unknown than the US president.

Today's video story: Nigeria says it's actively negotiating with the militant Islamist group, Boko Haram, to free the remaining schoolgirls who were kidnapped in Chibok three years ago today. Demonstrators will hold events in the capital, Abuja, and in Lagos, to mark the anniversary. Almost two hundred of the girls are still being held in captivity. Government Ministers are marking the anniversary by stressing their commitment to tackling Islamic extremists. Last October, 21 girls were freed after negotiations between Boko Haram and the government.

Today's video story: In Korea, the murder of a young woman in the affluent Gangnam district has ignited a vicious public debate about the country's entrenched misogyny. Feminists blamed Korea's gender inequality and took to the streets which sparked counter protests from men's rights defenders who felt men were unfairly attacked. This debate intensified online where feminists mirror the name-calling men direct at them. But these tactics only made the men angrier. And for some, this online conflict has painful real-life consequences.


Focus of the day story:  The Legal Ombudsman is increasing its budget by £1m for the next financial year – the first time the organisation has increased spending since its formation. Umbrella body The Office for Legal Complaints has proposed a total budget for 2017/18 of £14.63m, with £11.63m covering the legal services jurisdiction and £3m to cover complaints about claims management companies. This is £1m more than budgeted spend for 2016/17. The increase, revealed in documents presented to last month’s Legal Services Board meeting, reflects what are termed as ‘CMC bad debt expenses’, which are expected to increase significantly.
