Why has London’s Met Police been left in a “hopeless position”? | BBC Newscast
We look at the commissioner of the London Met police Sir Mark Rowley saying they have been left in a “hopeless position” after a High Court ruling.
The High Court today ruled the force could not dismiss officers by removing their vetting clearance. The ruling has huge implications for the ability of police chiefs to sack officers and is a major blow to Sir Mark’s pledge to root out people who he says should not be in the force. Adam is joined by Sima Kotecha, Senior UK correspondent and former chief inspector of constabulary Zoe Billingham.
Also, a bill for assisted dying to be made legal in the UK has been changed causing some anger among MPs. The bill had previously said that a High Court judge must check each person is eligible for assisted dying, and had not been coerced into making the decision to die. Now, MP Kim Leadbeater says a panel of voluntary experts, including a psychiatrist, social worker and legal expert, would be better suited than a judge. Adam and Alex discuss if this changes the likelihood of the bill passing.

Giant octopuses may have ruled the ancient oceans 100 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, according to new research.
Some of the earliest octopuses are believed to have been powerful predators equipped with strong arms for grabbing prey and beak-like jaws for munching on the shells and bones of other animals.
A new study, by scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan, of some remarkably well preserved jaws suggest they reached up to 19m (62ft), potentially making them the largest invertebrates ever known to scientists.
For decades, palaeontologists believed that the largest ocean predators were vertebrates with backbones such as fish and reptiles while invertebrates like octopuses and squid played supporting roles.
