Today's video story: As Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has seen his popularity wane over the years, he has developed a time-worn tactic when faced with criticism in the media: dust off the anti-imperialist credentials and deflect attention onto Zimbabwe's white former colonial masters inside and outside the country. Mugabe's response to a recent incident involving his wife, Grace, in South Africa, was a case in point. When the South African press censured Mrs Mugabe for allegedly assaulting a woman in Johannesburg, the president countered by questioning why whites still wield so much power in South Africa.

Today's video story: Could you afford your mortgage if interest rates rise in Australia? 1 in 4 mortgaged households are already in stress, meaning they struggle to cover both loan repayments and living expenses.



Focus of the day story: Judges are entitled to expect assistance from advocates when dealing with lengthy sentencing lists, the Court of Appeal has said in a case highlighting challenges with 'modern' sentencing legislation. In Dean Christopher Maxwell v R, Lord Justice Treacy, said sentencing judges are often burdened with long lists. 'They have a right to expect appropriate assistance from the advocates before them', he insisted in the judgment, published this week. 'It is clear that no such consideration or assistance was given by the advocates in this case, either before the judge came to sentence or indeed after he had sentenced in a flawed manner in a number of respects, or had failed to pass sentence on certain matters at all.'.

Today's video story: Life Inside Bali's infamous Kerobokan prison. To many, Bali’s Kerobokan jail is a place of creepy fascination, a repository of misery in an island playground. But what’s it really like in there? For the first time a TV crew has obtained virtually unrestricted access to all corners of Kerobokan’s men’s prison. 



Focus of the day story: Lawyers have given a cautious welcome to the government’s Brexit position paper calling for a cross-border civil judicial cooperation framework.
