Today's video story: Since accusations of sexual harassment and worse against the film producer Harvey Weinstein were revealed, many people from other industries have come forward with their own experiences – in part, fuelled by the Me Too campaign on social media, a hashtag created to invite others to share their experiences in the wake of the Weinstein scandal. One of those who used the hashtag is Jayne Ozanne, a founding member of the Archbishops’ Council and a senior lay member of the General Synod. Tonight she tells us exclusively why she, too, is a Me Too. She has told us that she was raped by a priest in the 1990s and claims a bishop advised her not to report the attack. A warning: this report contains details of a sexual nature.


Focus of the day story: Consumer champions have urged regulators to push their transparency agenda after new figures showed gaps in public understanding. An annual survey, commissioned by the Legal Services Consumer Panel, found just 6% of legal clients found the price on the provider’s website, and another 4% found it through an advertisement or on a price comparison website. The most common areas of law where people had consulted a comparison site were employment disputes and housing problems. In almost two-thirds of cases, consumers found out about the price of services only through discussions with the provider. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

Today's video story: There are fatalities after a truck drove the wrong way down the West Side Highway bike path for several blocks Tuesday afternoon, striking several people, according to sources at the New York Police Department.


Focus of the day story: The cab-rank rule will not be extended to public and licensed access (PLA) cases after the Bar Standards Board (BSB) received complete backing for the position in consultation. Feedback has also led it to drop plans for a requirement that PLA barristers disclose the level of their professional indemnity insurance (PII) cover and to allow clients ineligible to complain to the Legal Ombudsman (LeO) to directly instruct any barrister.

Since India's partition and the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the nuclear-armed neighbours have fought two wars over the Muslim-majority territory, which both claim in full but control in part. Today it remains one of the most militarised zones in the world. China administers parts of the territory.
