Today's video story: Slavery is illegal in every corner of the world, yet an estimated 21 million people are enslaved globally. To put that number in perspective, there are more slaves in contemporary society than at the height of the transatlantic slave trade. How is this possible?

According to the English Commercial Court report, compiled for the fifth year by communications consultancy Portland, 121 cases were brought by UK litigants in 2016-17, amounting to 28% of the total. That was down from 144 in 2015-16. Full story - The Law Society Gazette
