Today's video story: Krishan Kumar Khanna grew up just outside Lahore, Pakistan's second-largest city. After a childhood he remembers fondly, his life changed dramatically in August 1947. As Britain left the Indian subcontinent, colonial planners hastily split it into Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan. Khanna was forced to join one of the largest migrations in human history, as sectarian violence erupted and millions fled in both directions to save their lives. He has dreamed of going back ever since and, after trying for several years, Khanna finally obtained a visa to return to Pakistan. Despite deep tensions, he's determined to show that people in the neighbouring nations still have much more in common than that which divides them.

Those with disabilities are carried across raging rivers and muddy fields in their wheelchairs.

Today's video story: Slavery is illegal in every corner of the world, yet an estimated 21 million people are enslaved globally. To put that number in perspective, there are more slaves in contemporary society than at the height of the transatlantic slave trade. How is this possible? And would you even recognise a modern slave if you saw one in the street?


Focus of the day story: The proportion of UK litigants using the commercial courts continued to fall last year, according to an annual analysis published today. According to the English Commercial Court report, compiled for the fifth year by communications consultancy Portland, 121 cases were brought by UK litigants in 2016-17, amounting to 28% of the total. That was down from 144 in 2015-16. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

Today's video story: The man suspected of a fatal knife attack in Hamburg on Friday could have been deported years ago if the authorities hadn't failed to act. That's according to German media, which claims Berlin missed a deadline to return him to Norway, the country where he first applied for asylum.


Focus of the day story:  The resident judge at Blackfriars Crown Court, one of the six courts due to take part in a Ministry of Justice (MoJ) pilot on extended court hours, has attempted to calm lawyers’ anger over the move.
