Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The family of 92-year-old amputee Donald Burgess welcomed the sacking of two police officers after he was pepper sprayed and tasered at his care home in St Leonards-on-Sea in June 2022. PCs Stephen Smith and Rachel Comotto had confronted Mr Burgess as he held a cutlery knife while in his wheelchair, and the panel heard they used pepper spray, a baton and a taser. A disciplinary panel found he posed no risk to them and that they made no efforts to de-escalate, upheld allegations of gross misconduct for excessive force, and dismissed them. The officers had been cleared of assault at a criminal trial last year. Mr Burgess was taken to hospital and died from Covid less than a month later. A separate misconduct allegation against PC Comotto over a Facebook post joking about the incident was also upheld.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators protested across France against school conditions, with at least 5,000 arrests. In Paris, police used stun grenades and tear gas as clashes broke out, while the French prime minister rejected accusations of police violence as suggesting political instructions for repression. He said classes were suspended for the rest of the week to let pupils formulate specific asks for their high schools, and President Emmanuel Macron met ministers as the government faced questions over funding. A student from Worcester, Benjamin Day, admitted murdering a woman he lured to a special kill room; the court heard he was obsessed with the US TV drama Dexter and stabbed Maria Sacianu 78 times. A seventh man, a 22-year-old British national, was arrested in London over a suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford last month. ASOS said customer names and contact details may have been accessed in a suspected hack, though it did not believe card details or passwords were impacted, after millions of customers received a phone alert from apparent hackers; the company's share price fell about 10%.
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch told ITV News she believed the Green Party was full of anti-Semites after its members voted to define Zionism as racism. Speaking at the Tory party conference in Birmingham, she said she believed in Israel's right to self-determination and a two-state solution, and defended the Conservatives' pension triple lock. The Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, had not addressed the row on camera, and his deputy Mothin Ali gave only brief support for him when asked. A tanker caught fire in the Black Sea off Russia, with dark smoke visible from Sochi; its owner and the cause were not yet known. The World Health Organization said it had contacted Russian authorities after the suspected death of a lab employee from pneumonic plague, with the Irkutsk anti-plague institute quarantined and 189 contacts being traced.
