Today's video story: Decades of industrial decline are prompting white, working-class Democrats to reassess their political loyalties, and now many plan to vote for Donald Trump.
 

Focus of the Day story: The Legal Services Consumer Panel and the Legal Ombudsman are the latest organisations to come out against the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s (SRA) proposal that practising solicitors be allowed to handle unreserved legal work for the public from unregulated firms.
The panel said that though it supported greater flexibility and could see the advantages, particularly where solicitors work with law centres or charities, the revised arrangement would create two distinct types of service. Full story - Legal Futures
