Reports of modern slavery double in UK care sector

BBC World Service - Newsday, Reports of modern slavery double in UK care sector

Cases have risen sharply since last year.

A government funded body that protects vulnerable workers said the care sector was now their number one priority.

More than 17,000 people were reported to the British government as potential victims of modern slavery last year - the highest number since records began in 2009.

Mass demonstrations continued into the night in Israel in response to the passing of a controversial new law aimed at curbing the powers of the Supreme Court. 

And the UN says 11,300 children have been killed or maimed in the 9 years of war in Yemen.
