He finds Putin’s rising popularity may actually be explained through the same Christian evangelical community backing Roy Moore, Alabama’s famed ‘Ten Commandments Judge’ turned Senate frontrunner.

Today's video story: Is Donald Trump giving a voice to white supremacists? Race relations in the US are causing yet more fury and soul searching – and raising more questions about Donald Trump and the president's apparent support for white supremacists and neo-Nazis. Critics are appalled at his reaction to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday. A protest by the 'Unite the Right' movement turned ugly. And a woman was killed when a car ploughed into the crowd. Trump has blamed both sides for the violence - infuriating many Americans, including in his own Republican party. So where is America heading?

Former Court of Protection judge Denzil Lush said he would never sign a lasting power of attorney because it can have a ‘devastating effect’ on family relationships. retired senior judge has warned that the public needs to be alerted to risks arising from a lack of safeguards in the power of attorney system.
