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. 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. Here, Prime Minister rishi sunak has been facing mounting criticism over his major change in direction on climate policies. Rishi sunak said on wednesday england would delay the ban on new petrol and diesel cars by five years, moving 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, tory party donor, and founder of phonesliu. Thank you forjoining us.

It, because i have been lobbying with the government for four years since the start of the pandemic actually, on something i call pandemic recovery. 0ne actually, on something i call pandemic recovery. One of the Centre Pieces was to have an Enterprise Zone for environmental technologies. I have no doubt that the growth in environmental technologies, the export opportunities and Intellectual Property will be huge Intellectual Property will be huge in the next 20 years as we face increasing environmental challenges. So to make that an Investment Opportunity for people to come to britain and set up businesses, because of the attractive proposition we give to them will grow britains gdp and be an enormous boost to our country. And going back on the pledge of 2030 is an immensely negative statement, because everybody� s geared up for 2030, everything is going full tilt to get britain ready for 2030, but also the rest of the world which will follow on behind. I wanted us to lead the world in all technologies, or as many technologies, or as many technologies as we could that are in the environmental space. This doesnt the environmental space. This doesnt mean the environmental space. This doesnt mean that the environmental space. This doesnt mean that britain cant do that, it isjust doesnt mean that britain cant do that, it is just kicking the can down the road, people say it is just five years. A lot of businesses say they havent had enough time to prepare for this technology . Im prepare for this technology . Im afraid that prepare for this technology . In afraid that is not right, business is a race, it is a race whether you sell mobile phones, cars, whatever you are in, if you want to be the world leader, it is a race against the competition. By setting 2030 for the competition. By setting 2030 for the no further sales of Combustion Engines, that was a positive boost to britains future. Of course there are challenges, but necessity is the mother of invention, we are seven years away still, there are seven years away still, there are seven years to go, and then it is only the stopping of selling new. There will be millions of Combustion Engines on the road for decades to come. But they will phase out as the electric technology gathers momentum, Battery Technology gathers momentum, Battery Technology gathers momentum and charging. But it is notjust about electric vehicles, it is about making the britain the Enterprise Centre of the world for the environment. By creating a tax Free Enterprise zone and wooing businesses to help that happen. The Prime Ministers argument will be that will still happen and his approach is bag mattick and he is pragmatic and he is thinking of the Cost Of Living crisis and people are worried about their weekly shops and their energy bills and this perhaps will ease that kind of concern . And will ease that kind of concern . And where is the will ease that kind of concern . And where is the cost . Will ease that kind of concern . fific where is the cost . Tell me will ease that kind of concern . fific where is the cost . Tell me where the cost is . There isnt any. We are preparing for the future. And the cost wont come in the future. The actual gdp of growth of britain will actually offset any cost there might be. Sot where so where is the cost. Im talking of the Cost Of Living, inflation is high. Im talking of the costofliving, inflation is high. Im talking of the costofliving, inflation is high. What has that got to do with 2030. Inflation is high. What has that got to do with 2030.

He is talking of. Immediate help to help in terms of not having to replace a gas boiler. That is all phased in later anyway, they will never have to do that straightaway. This is for the future. When we have proper generation of electricity renewable electricity, not only do we save the planet, but Wind Turbines are cheaper to run than importing electricity through burning fossil fuels. That is incrediy expensive. We can produce Wind Turbine Electricity at 7 pence a kilo watt. We have to have a government brave enough to take the challenge and make britain great again. Make britain great again. Theyre committed make britain great again. Theyre committed to make britain great again. Theyre committed to net make britain great again. Theyre committed to net zero make britain great again. Theyre committed to net zero by make britain great again. Theyre committed to net zero by 2050. I make britain great again.

Did it need to be 2030 or 2020 . Is it already too late. None of us know the answer to that. No scientists knows, nobody knows the answer to that. What we do know is the more we delay the more chance of going past the Tipping Point and if we go past the Tipping Point and if we go past the Tipping Point and if we go past the Tipping Point, then the world will be in a major crisis where there will be devastation to many people on the planet through water shortage, through loss of farmland, through flooding, we will be in a devastating mess if we get past that Tipping Point. We are already moving that way, maybe we are already past the Tipping Point. No one knows. We must do everything in our power to do as much as we possibly can. But bearin do as much as we possibly can. But bear in mind what im advocating does not mean a worse standard of living of people. There isnt a significant cost, as long as the government are smart about the way we do it. Wejust government are smart about the way we do it. We just need to bring Environmental Technology on shore and build britains gdp. 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. Now its time for a look at todays sport with lizzie. Hello from the bbc sport centre. Europes golfers have retained the solheim cup. Spains Carlota Ciganda holed the putt that helped europe tie ilt 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 ilti z points to regain the trophy they last won in 2017. But it was europes day. It is surreal that here in spain playing the solheim cup and we finish iii 14. Happy to be part of this amazing team. The captain and vice captain did a greatjob and delighted to be in front of my home crowd and family and friends. Something i wont forget. 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 they are in the most difficult pool with south africa and france above them in pool b with only the top two making the quarterfinals. In the days other match, wales have kicked off their toughest game so far theyre playing australia in lyon. They are winning 7 6 at the moment. Australia put six points on since that graphic was made up. But it is going to be a tough game. If they lose they could be unable to reach the knockout stages. 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 Captain Son Heung Min scored both equalisers. They drop to fourth, just above arsenal on goal difference. Its going to be a big part of who we are as a team, having the mentality to have no time to feel sorry for us, we have got to react and we showed that last week. Three out of four away games where we we have had to come from behind. If we stick to our principles, be really aggressive. We can get back to any game. Newcastle matched their Record Premier League win with an amazing 8 0 win at winless bottom side sheffield united. Any fears of a european hangover following their Champions League exertions on tuesday soon vanished as eddie howes side cruised to victory with every goal scored by a different player.

Joining verstappen on the podium were the mclarens of lando norris and oscar piastri. And thats all the sport for now. Returning now to the uk, and the defence secretary, grant shapps, says it would be crazy not to look again at the rising cost of the hs2 rail project. A decision on whether the government will scrap the birmingham to manchester section of the line is expected this week. Noor nanji reports. Its a grand project, first dreamt up in 2009. The aim to Speed Up Journey Times and create more capacity. But hs2 has faced delays, cuts and spiralling costs. The original plan would have connected london to birmingham, and then leeds and manchester. In 2021, the section from birmingham to leeds was cancelled. Now there is speculation the line might end in west london rather than going all the way to euston. And the birmingham to manchester bit is in doubt as well. The last official estimate on hs2 costs excluding the cancelled Eastern Section added up to about £71 billion, although this was in 2019 prices. £22. 5 billion has already been spent on the london to birmingham leg, whilstjust over £2 billion has been spent on preparing for the other sections. This morning, the defence secretary, and former transport secretary, said no decision has been taken yet, but that its important to respond to the budget. Every government has to look at the overall budgets and then make serious decisions, which go beyond the sort of back and forth in a studio like this. 0k. To say, is this affordable, under current circumstances . Im absolutely confident, for example, that when those statements were made, no one knew wed be in a War In Europe right now. 0k. All of the consequences, all of the costs and all of the inflation. And any government that doesnt go back and then look at it is crazy. Labours been accused of sending mixed messages on hs2. We are supportive of h52 being built, but were responding to rumour and leak. And, look, victoria, this is a really important infrastructure project. What i say on your show matters because we, the labour party, hope to be in government next year. Were not going to make decisions about National Infrastructure projects that involve tens of billions of pounds without all of the information being available. This weekend, Business Groups and political voices have been lobbying the government not to truncate hs2 further. With Pressure Mounting for decisions to be made. Noor nanji, bbc news. A second ship with ukrainian wheat reached turkey, despite russias withdrawal from the un backed grain deal. The bulk carrier laden with more than 17,000 tonnes of wheat left the Port City Of Chornomorsk in ukraine on friday, bound for egypt. It comes as ukraine is testing a new sea route avoiding International Waters and using those controlled by nato members bulgaria and romania. A first ship, with 3,000 tonnes of wheat, has safely arrived to istanbul last week. Authorities in kosovo say theyve taken control of a serbian 0rthodox Monastery in the north, bringing to an end a stand off with a group of heavily armed men. The gunmen are suspected of carrying out an attack overnight, in which a policeman died. Kosovos Interior Minister said the operation to end the stand off involved � several consecutive battles. Earlier, Kosovan Police said they had killed three of the gunmen and arrested another. Ive been speaking to our balkans correspondent guy de launey. The reports that were hearing now from north kosovo, from the monastery itself, is that the armed men have left the monastery and that inside the monastery now we have Kosovo Police and also the eulex, which is the eus special rule of law mission in kosovo. So those authorities are now inside the monastery, the armed group isnt there. Kosovos Authorities Say that theyve arrested six people in connection with the attack and they say that three more people were killed, as well as the Police Officer who was killed in the early hours of sunday morning. So thats happening right now. Also, whats happening right now, as you say, serbias president , aleksandar vucic, speaking about todays events. And hes saying that its one of the most difficult days for our country since 2004 and 2008. 2004 being when there was a great forced displacement of ethnic serbian people in kosovo. 2008, when kosovo unilaterally declared its independence from serbia. And hes saying that he was waiting to see what had happened before he made any comments. And he says, i dont want to justify the killing of an albanian policeman, nor is it possible to justify it. That is absolutely reprehensible. And before we go when you think of begium you might usually think of waffles, chocolate and beer. Well not any more it would seem. From now on the country might be synonymous with Stone Skimming . The first Stone Skimming championships have been held in belgium today. The rules . The stones must bounce at least twice, and competitors are allowed three attempts to see who can skim the stone the furthest. Before we go, hundreds of people took the ultimate plunge this morning. Stripping naked and braving the cold waters of the north sea to mark the autumn equinox. The north east skinny dip has become an annual tradition in northumberland. All the proceeds go to a Mental Health charity. 0rgnanisers say the events about � taking a risk and embracing a moment of pure joy and freedom. Wet and windy weather on the way for some of us. The heaviest rain will be in Western Scotland where we could pick up 30 to 50 millimetres. It is down to an area of low pressure, a rapidly developing low to the south of the republic of ireland. This will bring some strong winds to the far north west of scotland. There could be gusts up to 70mph for the hebrides and the highlands. The heavy rain bringing the risk of localised flooding. Further south that rain crosses wales and england and by the time it reaches the east not much long it. A mild night with gusty winds. Temperatures around 12 to 15 degrees. Tomorrow, a much brighter day with more sunshine. It is not dry, there will be some showers in scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of Northern England and wales. Southern areas should stay dry. Temperatures continue to be above average for the time of year, 17 to 22. Tuesday is not unsettled day. A couple of systems gang up on us in the uk, Bringing Rainfor couple of systems gang up on us in the uk, Bringing Rain for many. Couple of systems gang up on us in the uk, Bringing Rainfor many. Rain at times probably best sums up the weather. The in the Afternoon Rain Widespread with some thunder. Turning brighter in Northern Ireland, with the main Rain Clearing through. Still the risk of showers here. Temperatures not changing much. Highs between 16 and 22. For the middle of the week we have a deep area of low pressure. This will be bringing widespread heavy rain, but some very strong winds as well. Inland gusts are expected to reach 60mph. Stronger gusts likely around the irish sea coasts where we could see gusts up to 80mph. So damaging gusts of wind with this low pressure on wednesday.
