Today's video story: It seems that White Helmets organization is hailed as heroes in the West, and the latter one provides millions of dollars to so-called saviors. However, Aleppo residents claim that White Helmets care only about money and saving rebels, but not the civilians. In fact, they are not autonomous, and cannot make their own decisions – these are made by other powerful people.

Today's video story: Two years ago, the European Union asked member states to accept refugees seeking asylum in Italy and Greece, in order to alleviate the pressure on those countries. That relocation scheme will now end on Friday. It was a test of European solidarity. But a total of only around 30,000 people were actually relocated, which is less than a fifth of the number the EU had hoped.


Focus of the day story:  A judge has rejected the argument that defendants in a civil claim over tax advice were under any duty to flag up a service error by their opposite number.  The claimant in Higgins & Ors v ERC Accountants & Business Advisers Ltd had failed to validly serve their case as they had not served the claim form. Amongst arguments about whether the claim form had in fact been served previously, the claimant’s solicitors, from national firm TLT LLP, suggested the defendants were ‘taking advantage’ of any mistake they might have made.

Today's video story: Stanislav Petrov, who averted possible nuclear war, dies at 77. Ex-Soviet officer Stanislav Petrov had reported a possible 1983 US missile launch as a false alarm.


Focus of the day story:  SME law firms are investing their marketing budgets in old-style strategies they know are often ineffective, rather than explore new technologies that are already taking hold in other sectors, according to research being launched at this week's PI Futures conference in Liverpool. The white paper by leading marketing collective First4Lawyers also suggests that most decisions about where to invest marketing are made by senior management or the board without the marketing department’s input. In any case, it found, very few firms take the time to properly track the effectiveness of their marketing activity. Full story - Legal Futures
