Chris Kaba: Why the officer that shot him has been cleared of murder

The Daily T

The Met Police officer who shot dead Chris Kaba has been cleared of murder. Armed officer Martyn Blake fired a single shot through the windscreen of Kaba’s car when he tried to escape after being stopped by police in September 2022. Our Crime Editor Martin Evans talks Kamal and Gordon Rayner through the case and explains why the officer has been cleared.

Elsewhere, moments after delivering a speech at Parliament House in Canberra, King Charles was heckled by Aboriginal Australian senator, Lidia Thorpe, who yelled: "This is not your land, you are not my King." Kamal and Gordon get an on-the-ground report from Telegraph Royal Editor Hannah Furness and speak to former Australian politician Tim Smith - who knows Lidia Thorpe well - to ask if Australia will ever cut ties with the monarchy.
