A critical police report has found that hundreds of officers who should have failed vetting checks may be working in forces in England and Wales. Zoe Billingham, who was Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue until 2021, joins Adam to talk through her former employers findings, as does policing commentator, Danny Shaw. And BBC Middle East correspondent, Tom Bateman, joins from Jerusalem to explain what’s behind the dramatic comeback of former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. This episode of Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming and made by Tim Walklate with Maddie Drury and Chris Flynn. The technical producer was Mike Regaard and the assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
