Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The police watchdog, the IOPC, has dropped its misconduct case against the Metropolitan Police firearms officer who fatally shot Chris Kaba in 2022, ending nearly four years of uncertainty for the officer, who was cleared of murder by a jury last year. Separately, the chief constable of Thames Valley Police said he would consider joining legal action to prevent the early release of two of PC Andrew Harper's killers under the government's early release scheme, arguing that people responsible for taking a life should not be freed under the scheme, while ministers stated it would not be lawful to block individual cases.
Reports emerged of a planned second mass incursion into Spanish territory, with a social media group calling for an invasion on 15th August and an estimated reach of up to one million people, following a day in which over 70,000 people entered Ceuta. A YouGov poll published on the same day placed Reform UK in first place, with Labour in second, as discussion turned to the durability of the so-called "Burnham bounce" following Andy Burnham's recent assumption of the premiership.

wrongdoing by the police watchdog two years after he was acquitted by a jury but tonight we will name and shame the politicians and the public figures who hailed Kaba as Britain's George Floyd and also tonight furious police chiefs are threatening to take the government to court if the killers of PC Andrew Harper are released early in the Labour's release scheme.

do you remember this? In 2020 George Floyd, a man who once held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach, was killed by a policeman in Minneapolis. What followed was truly extraordinary global movement of derangement and delusion, violence, riots, critical race theory, calls for defunding the police, cities burned, billions of dollars of damage was inflicted, communities

defunding the police, cities burned, billions of dollars of damage was inflicted, communities were divided and this insanity of course made its way to the UK. So strong was this cultural tide, this mass psychosis. Did police officers, politicians and key public figures take the knee to Black Lives Matter? But there was more. Statues were torn down, rioters battled police

Well I think it just shows that we now have yet another prime minister whose ambition outstrips his ability to choose the police as an
