0:00:00 > 0:00:05the European Champions Cup but for me, for now, goodbye.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08That's it - we're back with the late News at Ten o'clock now
0:00:08 > 0:00:10on BBC One its time for the news where you are.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Goodbye.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Good evening, I'm Asad Ahmad.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18A police officer, who was removed from doing any
0:00:18 > 0:00:20work with the public after a suspect he was
0:00:20 > 0:00:22apprehending in Dalston died, has been told no legal action
0:00:22 > 0:00:27will be taken against him.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30The Crown Prosecution Service made the decision, months
0:00:30 > 0:00:32after the Police Watchdog itself recommended that the officer
0:00:32 > 0:00:33should be suspended.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Here's Frankie McCamley.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40He was the third young black man to die within the space of five
0:00:40 > 0:00:42weeks in the capital, following contact with the police.
0:00:42 > 0:00:4420-year-old Rashan Charles was a passenger in a car
0:00:44 > 0:00:48being chased by officers.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52He got out and ran into a local convenience store.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54CCTV footage from this shop where the arrest took place shows
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Mr Charles walking in around 1:45am in the morning, pursued
0:00:57 > 0:01:01by a uniformed police officer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04There is a struggle on the floor, another man in plain
0:01:04 > 0:01:05clothes is seen helping.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Mr Charles is then handcuffed and taken to hospital by paramedics,
0:01:08 > 0:01:13but just over an hour later, he is pronounced dead.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16His death caused upset and anger in the area.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18The fragile trust in the police was put under intense strain.
0:01:18 > 0:01:28Peaceful protests descended into riots.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35After an investigation by the Crown Prosecution Service
0:01:35 > 0:01:38into whether the officer involved in the arrest could be charged,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42a spokesperson has said...
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Well, the family of course are devastated, angry and upset that
0:01:50 > 0:01:52once again they are being denied an opportunity to access justice.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55The statement from the CPS follows the IPCC's recommendation that
0:01:55 > 0:02:00the officer should be suspended.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It's just reinforced people's stereotypes and perceptions,
0:02:02 > 0:02:03that the police are untouchable
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and the members of the black community are expendable items.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08The cause of Rashan Charles' death is still unclear.
0:02:08 > 0:02:18An inquest will take place in June.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Levels of knife crime in London are soaring,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22with fatal stabbings at their highest rate
0:02:22 > 0:02:25for nearly a decade.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Politicans and police say they're working hard to find a solution -
0:02:28 > 0:02:32and one of the places they're looking at - is an area of the UK,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35which until a few years ago - was the most violent place
0:02:35 > 0:02:44in the developed world.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick getting her hands
0:02:46 > 0:02:50dirty, looking than I was in London this week. She is desperate to cut
0:02:50 > 0:02:53the number of weapons on our streets, and the experience of
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Scotland could hold the answer. Glasgow in particular were suffering
0:02:58 > 0:03:02an epidemic of violence and knife crime until around a decade ago. It
0:03:02 > 0:03:07was just like the problem London has now, but on an even bigger scale.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11And one of the hundreds of stabbings every year was carried out by
0:03:11 > 0:03:18Desmond.I was in a flat in Glasgow where I stayed, and someone tried to
0:03:18 > 0:03:23take my drugs office I had to pull my knife out. It was the first time
0:03:23 > 0:03:27I went to use it, and I was scared. Things got so bad, the United
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Nations found that a Scot was three times more likely to suffer a
0:03:32 > 0:03:35violent assault than an American, and 30 times more likely than
0:03:35 > 0:03:40somebody in Japan. But now those figures have nosedived, and it is
0:03:40 > 0:03:46credited to believing that life crime is a health issue.Essentially
0:03:46 > 0:03:53the public health approach Ditcheat inside what your problem is, you
0:03:53 > 0:03:55have some data and analysis, you look at what interventions might
0:03:55 > 0:03:59work to deal with the problem, you test them out, and if they work you
0:03:59 > 0:04:05scaled up and tried to reach as many people as you possibly can.Within a
0:04:05 > 0:04:10few years, violent crime has dropped to a 50 year locomotive handling an
0:04:10 > 0:04:16offensive weapon down by nearly 70%. The key to it is preventing it from
0:04:16 > 0:04:19happening in the first place. That is about working with young people
0:04:19 > 0:04:22who might be getting involved with violent crime and trying to
0:04:22 > 0:04:25understand exactly why they are carrying knives and why they think
0:04:25 > 0:04:29they need to get involved in violence. And what you can do to
0:04:29 > 0:04:34prevent them from getting involved in the first place.Scotland is very
0:04:34 > 0:04:37different to London, 32 boroughs and different mechanisms and governments
0:04:37 > 0:04:42but absolutely Vermont to make sure we have this public health approach,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44alongside really good effective enforcement.It will take time to
0:04:44 > 0:04:49see whether the new scheme is as successful as it was in Scotland,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52but even the possibility of changing knife culture is an attractive one
0:04:52 > 0:05:03to the authorities. Nearly £50,000 has been raised to try to stop the
0:05:03 > 0:05:11release of sex attacker John Warboys. The government announced
0:05:11 > 0:05:15last week it went be seeking a review over the parole board's
0:05:15 > 0:05:18decision to release the former London cabbie from prison. Let's get
0:05:18 > 0:05:21the forecast.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23London cabbie from prison. Let's get the forecast. It will turn dry this
0:05:23 > 0:05:26evening and stay dry overnight, with plenty of cloud and temperatures
0:05:26 > 0:05:33will actually rise into tomorrow morning. Start off between eight and
0:05:33 > 0:05:35six overseas, so a very different day of weather across the capital.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39We should stay dry, some good spells of sunshine and brightness emerging
0:05:39 > 0:05:43with quite a bit of cloud as well, temperatures in central London,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46double figures, and it will be milder still on Tuesday but rather
0:05:46 > 0:05:48grey through the afternoon with some more rain in the forecast on
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Wednesday.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53more rain in the forecast on Wednesday. That said, I will be back
0:05:53 > 0:05:56at 10:20pm. Lots more on the Twitter feed and Facebook page, but until
0:05:56 > 0:06:02later this evening, have a good evening.
