Today's video story: Around half of the e-waste generated in Israel finds its way to the occupied West Bank. Computers, fridges, air conditioners, filters for gas masks, TVs and many more litter the multiple workshops in and around the town. With increasing rates of unemployment in the past 15 years, many people risk their health by burning the waste for the valuable raw materials. These items are taken apart and each component has a different use and price associated with it. After the parts are separated they are sold back to Israel.

And, in the heart of Mexico’s avocado plantations, some producers have wrested control back from the criminals.

Today's video story: A Bosnian Croat war criminal has died after taking poison during the reading of his verdict at the International Criminal Court in the Hague, the AP reports, citing Croatian state television. Slobodan Praljak, 72, a former wartime leader, was seen drinking from a small container as he heard the verdict of his appeal hearing.


Focus of the day story:  A criminal legal aid solicitor who can work only in the evenings because of the need to care for their disabled child is among those who could lose a duty rota slot due to a requirement introduced to tackle the issue of 'ghost' solicitors. The solicitor’s plight was highlighted in a survey carried out by the London Criminal Courts Solicitors' Association, a practitioner group, which says members risk losing their place on duty schemes even though they regularly work on cases.
