Good evening. The Ministry Of Defence has confirmed to the bbc that it will provide the support of armed soldiers to the metropolitan police, after a large number of Firearms Officers handed in their weapons. They turned in their firearms permits after an armed officer was charged with the murder of 24 year old chris kaba who was shot and killed in south london last year. Earlier, the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, ordered a review of armed policing. Joe inwood reports. Chris kaba was unarmed when he was shot and killed in streatham. He was driving a borrowed car. According to police, the vehicle had previously been linked to an incident involving a gun. Chris kaba was hit by a single bullet fired by a Police Officer. There was widespread outrage at his death, especially amongst londons black community. Last week, his family were in court to see a Police Officer who is only being referred to as nx 121 charged with murder. They welcomed the prosecution, but its been met with concern by many of the officers colleagues. There are more than 6,000 Police Officers in the uk who are authorised to carry a firearm and many of them work in london in some of the most sensitive parts of the capital. Now its thought around 100 of them have said that they no longer want to carry a gun. 0ne former officer says hes not surprised. I was on armed response for 23 years, i was on vip protection, and i hugely enjoyed the professionalism, the teamwork of it, and i would miss that. Would i put my weapon down today . Yes, iwould hand it in. Its not worth it. Announcing a review, the Home Secretary said Police Officers have to make split second decisions under extraordinary pressures. They mustnt fear ending up in the dock for carrying out their duties. Officers risking their lives to keep us safe have my full backing. It has now been confirmed that the army will be helping to fill the gaps, although only as a contingency. At a time when there are calls for increasing scrutiny on the police, especially when it comes to dealing with minority communities, there will be many who see this as an attempt to reduce accountability rather than a welcome reset. Joe inwood, bbc news. 0ur Correspondentjoe Inwood outlined the significance of the mods statement of support for the police. Of the mods statement of support for the police. To clarify, we shouldnt be expecting to see soldiers on the street. This is not a question of the Army Stepping in to do what we would think of as everyday policing role theyre not going to be arresting people. This will be a contingency service, a Contingency Role. I spoke to the Ministry Of Defense earlier, and what they were saying is that there are there are armed, as people would expect, there are armed teams that are ready to respond, for example, to a terrorist incident, a live shooter event, that sort of thing, and those sorts of roles, the kind of in extremis roles, will be filled by the army if required. So i think we shouldnt get carried away in saying that the police are going to be replaced by the army. Thats not the case. What were seeing here is a Contingency Role for the army, but it is significant nevertheless. And its interesting because we heard from Suella Braverman and in her statement theres clearly a lot of support there for the police. Yeah, i think this is really interesting. I mean, here in the uk, weve been seeing a real debate at the moment over the last few years, as we have around the world, around the role of policing and specifically the use of force as some would see it, excessive force, against certain communities here in london particularly the black the afro caribbean community. And the debate really has been around whether the police are scrutinised enough. What i thought was interesting about the statement from Suella Braverman today, the Home Secretary in the uk, was the fact that she was clearly saying that she supported the police. She thought that actually there was a problem here, that the police werent being able to do theirjob because theyre overly scrutinised. So i think were going to be seeing a real tension here between the side of society that thinks that the police maybe dont always act in the best interests of all communities and of all people and the other side which thinks that maybe Law And Order is more of a priority and would like to give their full backing to the police. And i think the Home Secretary has quite clearly stated in launching this review where she views the argument to to lie, as it were. Rishi sunak has been facing mounting criticism over his major change in direction on climate policies. On wednesday, the Prime Minister announced exemptions and delays to several key green policies. The former greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis accused the Prime Minister of undermining the uks credibility on climate change. A very special contribution, combination of incompetence and cynicism to manage to unite the car industry and the greens against you. And rishi sunak has demonstrated that. Why do you say its cynical . Well, because its very clear that this was the result of the Uxbridge Byelection and whats happening in the netherlands, where there is a backlash from nativist, rightist, anti climate policy, segments of the population and a desperate Prime Minister is trying to appeal to that particular clientele, destroying all the credibility that governments, tory governments, have tried to build up regarding commitments to to net zero. John caudwell is a businessman and founder of phonesliu. He was also the biggest donor to the Conservative Party before the last election. However he said he was devestated by rishi sunak� s recent shift in green policy. I have been lobbying with the government now for four years, ever since the start of the pandemic, actually, on something i call caudwell pandemic recovery, which is investment in britain. And one of the centrepieces of that investment in britain was to have an Enterprise Zone for environmental technologies. I have no doubt whatsoever that the growth in environmental technologies, the export opportunities and Intellectual Property and end products will be huge over the next 20 years as we face increasing environmental challenges. And so to make that an Investment Opportunity for people to come to britain, set up businesses in britain because of the attractive proposition we give to them, will grow britain because macro Gdp Proposition we give to them, will grow britains gdp in the future and be an enormous boost to our country. And going back on the pledge of 2030 is an immensely negative statement because everybody is geared up for 2030 and all the Motor Manufacturers are gearing up, Battery Technology is racing on, everything is going full tilt to get britain ready for 2030. But also, of course, the rest of the world which will follow on behind. And i wanted us to lead the world in all technologies, or as many technologies as we could in the environmental space. But this doesnt mean britain cant do that, its just kicking the can down the road, supporters will say its just five more years and it gives people time to prepare a bit more because businesses have been complaining they dont have enough time to prepare for the introduction of this new technology . I am afraid thats not right. Business is a race. Business is a race whether you sell mobile phones, whether you sell cars, whatever you are in, if you want to be the world leader it is a race against the competition. And by by setting 2030 four that no further sales of Combustion Engines, that was a hugely positive boost to britains future. Yes, of course, theres challenges, but necessity is the mother of invention. Were seven years away still, theres seven years to go and then its only the stopping of selling you. Of selling new. Theyll still be all millions of internal Combustion Engines on the road for decades to come, actually, but gradually they will phase out as the electric technology gathers momentum, Battery Technology gathers momentum and charging. But its notjust about electric vehicles, its about making britain the Enterprise Centre of the world for the environment by creating a tax Free Enterprise zone and wooing businesses. A capsule containing Asteroid Samples which scientists hope could help explain how Life On Earth began has successfully landed in the united states. The nasa spacecraft dropped the canister carrying just 250 grams of rock and dust from the surface of the asteroid onto the us state of utah. As our science editor, rebecca morelle, reports. On their way to recover a capsule thats travelled billions of miles through space the conclusion of a seven year mission called osiris rex. The first glimpse a Tiny Dot High up in the atmosphere, as it descends towards the utah desert. Then a view of its parachute slowing the craft. Finally, its down. Inside is the most precious sample fragments of an asteroid called bennu that could reveal the secrets of our solar system. The scientists think theres about 250g of dust and rock, and every grain is precious. Some of our instruments literally look at the atoms that make up the crystals inside these rocks, and when youre working at that scale, a single stone is an infinite landscape to explore. Well be working on these materials for decades and decades into the future. All of this effort is to solve the mystery of what asteroid bennu is made of. This is vital, because bennu tops the list of nasas most hazardous space rocks, so studying its make up could help us to stop it if we ever need to. But it could also reveal more about our origins its a perfectly preserved relic from the dawn of the solar system. This was the moment the sample was collected in a five second smash and grab, before it was safely stowed in the capsule for its return to earth. The rock and dust will be divided up between scientists around the world, including the team at londons Natural History museum. Were all unbelievably excited to see what its going to be made of. I mean, weve thought about it, weve talked about it, weve written papers about it, weve dreamt about what its going to be. And finally, were actually going to see it and find out what it really is, which, yeah, at the moment we have no idea. So its going to be just so exciting to open the canister and find out whats in there. The main concern now is contamination. The team here in utah dont want whats on the ground the dirt, the dust, the microbes to get mixed up with the bits of bennu. Its vital that their invaluable sample is kept pristine. Shes taking an initial thermal reading of that src as we speak. The race is now on to safely recover the capsule and bring it back to the military base. 0pening it will be a painstaking and slow process taking several weeks, but Scientists Say the wait will be worth it. Rebecca morelle, bbc news, utah. 0ur science correspondent Jonathan Amos is in utah with the latest. We saw this capsule come screaming into the atmosphere of planet earth, moving at 12 kilometers a second, over 27,000 miles an hour. And first of all, they picked it up on these heat seeking cameras. And then we got a view of a parachute and a Capsule Slung beneath it. And then it landed gently in the utah desert here. Actually it landed a little bit earlier than we were expecting. We were expecting it to come down at 08. 55 local time, and it came down three minutes earlier than that. Now, that will be something that the engineers of the the capsule at Lockheed Martin will want to pore over. But i dont think the scientists care very much. They have their capsule back and theyve got their sample back. And jonathan, we saw pictures earlier on of what they call the clean room, i believe, in which we saw sort of Men And Women In White suits carefully examining this capsule, because its quite tricky work to recover what it is that theyre after. Were seeing pictures of that room now on our screens. Yeah, the watchword today has been cleanliness. These samples are precious. They tell us about the chemistry that existed four and a half billion years ago when the planets were forming around the nascent sun. And what we what we need is to see that chemistry uncontaminated. If we think, as the scientists suspect, theres chemistry in there that may give us clues about how life started on earth, well, its no use looking at that chemistry if its been muddied with earth dirt, with with microbes, or the oxygen in earths atmosphere, which might have come in and started to oxidize compounds. So they need a pristine sample. So the idea was to bring the capsule back to a temporary clean room here. Its just over my shoulder here, about a kilometer� s distance away. And at the moment, theyre disassembling the capsule to try and get it into a box purged with nitrogen. So nitrogen will not react with anything in that capsule. And then they can move it probably tomorrow down to Thejohnson Space Center in texas, where nasa keeps all of it, its archived materials. All of the moon rocks that came back during the Apollo Program are kept at Thejohnson Space Center. They have a dedicated, clean room there. And what are they called . Glove boxes. Youve probably seen them in movies and on the television. Youve got these sort of Rubber Gloves and you put your hands in and then you can manipulate stuff under a sterile, enclosed box. And they willjust kind of look at the chemistry and itll take them certainly a few weeks to have a first take, to say how much sample they have and what the Bulk Composition is. French president Emmanuel Macron has announced france is to end its Military Cooperation with niger and pull its troops out of the african country. In a televised interview he announced plans to imminently withdraw the french ambassador followed by its Military Contingent in the next few months in the wake of the coup that ousted the pro paris president. France keeps about 1,500 soldiers in niger as part of an anti jihadist deployment in the sahel region. Now its time for a look at todays sport with lizzie. Europes golfers have retained the solheim cup. Spains Carlota Ciganda holed the putt that helped them tie iii all with the united states. Ciganda knocked in a two footer on the 17th to beat nelly korda in a tense finish to their match. It means she won all four of her solheim matches this year, a feat not lost on her emotional captain suzann pettersen. The us needed 14v points to regain the trophy they last won in 2017, but it was europes day. It comes down to one match, one put t. To come down to her in spain at home, you couldnt stage it better. She came from behind and worked her way back and i mean for her to get her point on 18 was massive. I still think we were half a point short at the time. I think it isjust meant to be. It comes down to her. She has it in her hands and she is so good. Now to the Rugby World Cup where scotland saw off tonga with a bonus point victory to keep alive their hopes of reaching the knock out stages. The scots scored four tries before half time. Tonga came back into the game but missed tackles and ill discipline let them down with two players shown yellow cards. Scotland scored seven tries in total in nice but theyre in the most difficult pool with south africa and france above them and only the top two making the quarter finals. In the days other match, wales are still playing australia in lyon. The latest score is 29 6. If that score stays the same, australia are unlikely to progress to the quarter finals. 0nto Football and the Premier League where the first North London Derby of the season finished 2 2. Arsenal twice took the lead at the emirates, first through a Christian Romero own goal and then a bakayo saka penalty. But Spurs CaptainSon Heung Min scored both equalisers. Spurs drop to fourth, just above arsenal on goal difference. I think today we have that regret, especially that we lacked some composure on the ball, to get set and have more passes, we wanted to attack too quick and early and we didnt do enough with them and with this team we have to be more ruthless. Newcastle matched their Record Premier League scoreline with an amazing 8 0 thrashing of the now bottom
