The World TonightAvailable for over a year
The Metropolitan Police says the change will allow officers to "focus on matters that meet the threshold for criminal investigations". The announcement came as the Met confirmed it was dropping a probe into Father Ted creator Graham Linehan. Also in the programme: Israeli writer David Grossman reflects on how the world should view his country now a Gaza ceasefire is in place.
