Today's Video Focus: US soldiers surprised the locals of the Ialomita County in Romania after
they drove their tanks into agricultural fields. To the relief of the
residents, the troops weren’t there to invade them. As it turned out,
the soldiers had mistaken the coordinates and advanced through the
fields by accident. Still, this mistake had its consequences: according
to locals, the tanks destroyed nearly 600 hectares of crops in their
path.
Focus of the Day Article:
The magistracy is in ‘near crisis’, MPs have warned, with a shortfall in numbers that is ‘as frustrating as it was foreseeable’. The
Justice Committee this week called for a national strategy to recruit
and train more magistrates, including extra funds for training, in its
report, ‘The role of the magistracy―follow-up’. It said magistrates are
struggling with reduced support and feel undervalued, while the court
closure programme has created additional challenges.
