Today's Video Focus: The centre on Saturday introduced a new ordinance in response to nationwide anger over the Kathua and Unnao rape cases involving minors. The order will now allow the death penalty for the rape of minors. It also has several provisions for speedy trials in rape cases. But is this going to help resolve this epidemic of sorts that we are seeing of child rape cases. Will this act as a deterrent?

Today's Video Focus: This week we bring you “A Conversation With Native Americans on Race,” the latest installment in our wide-ranging “Conversation on Race” series. Directed by Michèle Stephenson and Brian Young, the film grapples with the racist contradictions of a country that, many feel, would prefer it if Native Americans didn’t exist.



Focus of the Day Story: Costs and service quality drive trend toward boutique law firms. Multinational companies are turning to small and medium-size firms and enterprises to tackle specialised legal issues. Full story - The Global Legal Post

Today's Video Focus: Violent crime in London is rising rapidly. More than 50 people have been murdered in the capital this year alone - with most victims under the age of 25. The Government has vowed to do “whatever it takes” to tackle the recent increase in stabbings, shootings and acid attacks, but will it change anything? And what of the people caught up in the violent crime which is corroding some communities? We met up with members of Football Beyond Borders in Brixton, a charity which uses football to support disadvantaged young people in south London – and asked them what they think needs to be done.

Today's Video Focus: Debate has been raging about whether privileged white South African farmers deserve special attention under Australia's humanitarian visa program. Like many issues in Australia, it is split along partisan lines. Conservatives highlight horrendous violence suffered by farmers and say they would integrate well in Australia unlike immigants from Asia, while progressives say the motivation is more about race. According to police figures, 71 people were murdered on South African farms in the year to March 2017, but farmers say that figure does not reflect the full extent of the violence.
