Today's video story: Hundreds of Israeli security officers have entered a hardline Jewish outpost in the occupied West Bank to evict settlers. Israel's Supreme Court says they've built homes on private Palestinian land. Earlier on Wednesday, the government announced the construction of 3,000 settlement homes elsewhere in the occupied Palestinian territories.


Focus of the day story:  Lawyers must be prepared to give their clients advice rather than a range of options, the managing director of a fast-growing wealth management and legal services firm has said. Neil Moles said the Progeny Group, based in Leeds and London, had doubled in size in the past year to 70 staff, including 15 lawyers, and aimed to grow just as quickly this year.  Full story - Legal Futures

Today's video story: The truth about Donald Trump's executive order in numbers as well as the banning of certain Muslim majority countries in which the Trump Organisation does not have any business interest in. In terms of terror attacks since 1972, 0.00062 attacks in US soil had been carried out by terrorists, but none from the banned countries.

Focus of the day story: A woman with a learning disability who died while in intensive care was not in “state detention”, the Court of Appeal has ruled, upholding a coroner’s decision not to proceed with a full inquest into her death. The court so held in Ferreira v Coroner of Inner South London [2017] EWCA Civ 31, in a landmark decision on deprivation of liberty in the context of acute medical treatment. The case is the first detailed examination by the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court’s decision in P v Cheshire West [2014] UKSC 19, which expanded the definition of deprivation of liberty.

Today's video story: This week Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court verdict that made it mandatory for private unaided schools, built on Delhi Development Authority land, to seek permission of the Delhi Government before hiking tuition fees. The AAP government has hailed this decision as historic and warned schools of strict action if they don't comply. On We The People, we ask: can the fee regulation solve the demand-supply gap? Will micromanaging school fees disincentivise educational entrepreneurs? While Right to Education is a fundamental right, in reality, India offers education of acceptable quality only to those who can pay for it. Multiple studies have highlighted miserable quality of education in our government schools. One in six teaching positions in government schools are vacant. So are private schools the answer? On the other hand, have private schools made education a business where the focus is only on profit books?
