Today's Highlighted Video Story: A thick layer of haze covered the Delhi on Friday. The National Capital continued to reel under 'severe' air quality with Air Quality Index (AQI) at 472 currently. Climate change is a major issue facing India, and sustainability remains a word paid lip-service by the ruling political machinery.

Today's Highlighted Video Story: Daniel Lavelle is a journalist who spent some of his teenage years in the care system. He is also somewhat of an anomaly. Statistics show one in four people who leave care in the UK end up homeless. They are also likely to end up in a prison. In a special Guardian video Lavelle reflects on his experiences, and meets others who've been through the system to find out what is going wrong for some of the country's most vulnerable children. He also talks to those who've made it out the other side 'damaged but not broken'

Today's Highlighted Video Story: In the debate over abortion, it often seems there’s not much room for nuance: You’re either for it or against it. But in the Opinion video above, the Rev. Clinton L. Stancil, the pastor of Wayman A.M.E. Church in St. Louis, articulates a position that is heard all too rarely, particularly among faith leaders. He is opposed to abortion on moral grounds and counsels his parishioners against getting the procedure. But he is also vehemently supportive of a woman’s right to choose. In an interview with Opinion Video, he called the Supreme Court decision that eliminated the constitutional right to abortion “a tragedy.”
