Today's video story: Why is society so frightened of women without children? It has its roots in patriarchy. The proportion of women not having children before the menopause has reached a record high in the last decade. Here, women from the UK, France and Spain discuss the taboo of childlessness that they say comes from a dated societal structure – and celebrate International Women’s Day by affirming female identity beyond motherhood.


Focus of the day story: Clients are drawn to the advice more than the adviser, says Susskind. The days of lawyers as trusted advisers are numbered because a reliable outcome to their issue is more important to clients than a relationship with their lawyer, Professor Richard Susskind has claimed. Along with his son Daniel, he also expressed concern about the impact of Brexit on the UK maintaining its focus on what a period of unprecedented technological progress means for the country.

Today's video story: At least 22 young girls have died in a fire at a home for vulnerable teenagers and children in Guatemala. The country has declared three days of national mourning. A crowd of relatives, some wailing in grief, gathered outside the government-run Virgen de Asuncion home for the under-18s in San Jose Pinula, 25 km southwest of the capital, Guatemala City. *What happened?* Police say some residents set mattresses ablaze after trying to escape from the overcrowded facility.

 
Focus of the day story:  Preserving access to the single market in legal services is among the reasons why the government urgently needs to set out a vision for trade with the EU following Brexit, MPs say today. In its first report, the International Trade Committee of the House of Commons backs re-joining the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) to preserve continuity in trading relationships.  Full story - The Law Society Gazette
