Today's Highlighted Video Story: Migrants are dying in Poland's forested border with Belarus, as the countries are locked in a geopolitical standoff. Polish authorities accuse Belarus of deliberately abandoning migrants near its border in an attempt to destabilise the EU due to the bloc imposing sanctions on Belarus after its disputed election. Poland has responded by declaring an emergency zone, forbidden to journalists and activists, where it is believed that, hidden from sight, they are illegally forcing asylum seekers back over the border instead of processing applications.
Focus of the Day Story: The Court of Appeal has rejected an attempt by a man found guilty of soliciting the murder of his partner to blame his lawyers for abandoning his appeal against conviction. Lady Justice Thirlwall said it was clear that David John Harris was “content to and did abandon” the application for permission appeal on the advice of his lawyers. Full story - Legal Futures
