Keir Starmer: Henry Nowak arrest footage raises ‘serious questions’ for police

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Prime Minister Keir Starmer is among those saying there are questions for the police to answer after the release of harrowing bodycam footage of Henry Nowak's final moments. There have been clashes between protestors and police in Southampton near the scene where the student was stabbed by a Sikh man who falsely claimed he had been racially abused. We ask whether anti-racism guidance may have obscured the truth. Also on the programme: a partial truce between Israel and Lebanon seems to be holding - we have a report from northern Israel and hear from both the Lebanese government and Hezbollah. And the government announces thousands more black men will take part in a trial for prostate cancer screening.
