Today's Highlighted Video Story: A devout Christian, Jerry Givens was US state of Virginia’s chief executioner, before he became an advocate of abolishing the death penalty.
Focus of the Day Article: Solicitors have voted in favour of changes to the make-up of Law Society council and limits on how long members can sit on it, although only 6% of the profession took part in the ballot. The votes followed a divided Law Society AGM in October, at which both motions were approved, but opponents only needed 20 solicitors present to call for postal ballots.
