Today's video story: From Afghanistan to London, cricket is helping three young refugees build a new life. Tucked away in suburban south London, matches take place every week for young and often traumatised asylum seekers. Many have fled war and have been separated from their families. The Refugee Cricket project, organised by the Refugee Council - https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk - , provides not only a chance to play and make friends, but also to access advice and support as they navigate the complex asylum system and other challenges in their new home.



Focus of the day story: The government is to recalculate the personal injury discount rate again, after a Ministry of Justice (MoJ) consultation found serious injury claimants take more risks with investment than the law assumes. The rate is used to predict investment return in order to calculate how much compensation is awarded to serious injury victims. It was reduced from 2.5% to -0.75% in February this year by the previous Lord Chancellor, Liz Truss. Many claimant lawyers welcomed the move at the time, although critics warned it would cost the NHS substantially more in payouts. Full story - New Law Journal

Today's video story: The UN says more than a million people have fled the conflict in South Sudan to Uganda. Nearly as many have travelled to neighbouring countries, making it the worst refugee crisis in Africa since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Fighters loyal to President Salva Kiir and troops under the former vice president Riek Machar have fought each other since 2013. Tens of thousands of people have been killed since then, and nearly a third of the population has been displaced.

Today's video story: The Government has announced a partial reversal of changes to the rules for personal injury payouts. The move is a victory for insurers, which could potentially reduce compensation for accident victims. Mohammad Khan, insurance expert with the accountancy and business services firm PwC explains.


Focus of the day story: Changes to the way compensation payouts are calculated have been unveiled today by the Lord Chancellor following a pledge made by ministers to consult on whether there was a fairer way to set the discount rate in future. In February, the then Lord Chancellor, Liz Truss, reduced the discount rate from 2.5 per cent to -0.75 per cent amid fears of a judicial review brought by claimant lawyers. Following an outcry from the insurance industry, ministers announced that a full consultation would be launched in March. Full story - Solicitors Journal
