Focus of the Day Legal Article: New legislation which would increase the penalties for dog-owners whose
pets chase, attack or kill farmed animals will require significant
amendment and clear guidance as to how it will work in practice if it is
to meet its aim of reducing incidents of so-called “livestock
worrying”, according to MSPs. Full story - Scottish Legal News
Today's Highlighted Video Story: Hundreds of thousands of people from ethnic minorities, including the Uighur community, are being forced by the Chinese authorities to pick cotton, in the far western region of Xinjiang, according to information seen by the BBC.
The evidence suggests that China's cotton crop - a fifth of the world’s supply - could be far more dependent on forced labour than previously thought.
Over the past few years more than a million Uighurs are believed to have been detained in so-called ‘re-education' camps. China denies claims of torture and carrying out forced sterilisations and abortions.
In response to the latest evidence the Chinese government has told the BBC that claims of forced labour are “entirely fabricated”.
