Today's Highlighted Video Story: Ugandans vote tomorrow in a presidential election pitting Yoweri Museveni, who's led the country for 35 years, against the challenger, the singer-turned-politician Bobi Wine. The campaign has been marred by violence against opposition candidates. Wine's supporters have been harassed and imprisoned, and many have lost their lives.
Focus of the Day Article: The High Court has ruled that a disciplinary tribunal should hear in
full a private prosecution brought against current Law Society president
David Greene. Lord Justice Popplewell and Mr Justice Garnham, sitting in Davies v Greene,
ruled today that the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal’s decision to
strike out the case in September 2019 was flawed and should be
overturned.
