Today's video story: Ever since the referendum on October 1, we have been waiting for the Catalan President Carles Puigdemont’s next move. There have been huge demonstrations in favour of independence and against the police brutality that marred that flawed vote. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets, not just in Madrid, but in Barcelona, calling for the region to remain part of Spain. The Catalan president stepped back from the full, immediate declaration of independence voters had wanted when they cast their votes.


Focus of the day story:  The Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law has put together a high-powered group of 26 legal, constitutional and other experts under the chairmanship of former Attorney General Dominic Grieve QC MP to consider the implications of the EU (Withdrawal) Bill for the rule of law.

Today's video story: The EU's mandatory quota scheme has been the focus of much of the criticism. Poland and Hungary have been the most vocal critics, refusing to take in any refugees. The crisis also proved a challenge even for the EU's biggest and wealthiest countries - like France and Germany. RT spoke to the Hungarian Foreign Minister - for his take on the bloc's common migration policies.


Focus of the day story:  General counsel continue to face an uphill struggle demonstrating their value to the business, sector research suggests, highlighting differences of opinion among senior lawyers and their board directors about lawyers' role and performance. Winmark, a network and research body, worked with international firm Clyde & Co to survey 100 senior in-house lawyers and 18 board directors for its latest Looking Glass report, which will be unveiled this evening.

Today's video story: A Guardian/ITV News undercover investigation into conditions at a chicken processing factory that supplies Britain's major supermarkets reveals hygiene failures, manipulation of slaughter dates and repackaging of returned meat.
