Today's Highlighted Video Story:
A coroner has called on Boris Johnson to launch a public inquiry into the Covid pandemic "as soon as practicable", at the end of an inquest into a pregnant nurse who died with the virus. The coroner found that Mary Agyapong, who was 28, died of multiple organ failure and Covid-19, but said it remained “unclear” where she contracted the virus. Her husband told the inquest she was nervous about catching the virus at the hospital where she worked, while she was heavily pregnant.

Focus of the Day Article: The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) made 26 reports of suspected money laundering by solicitors to the National Crime Agency (NCA) last year, involving more than £200m in possible criminal proceeds. A further 122 matters are being monitored by the regulator’s money laundering reporting officer (MLRO) to track the progress of ongoing SRA investigations which may uncover money laundering suspicions which require reporting in due course.
