made in new delhi, that will happen tomorrow or saturday, but in the meantime i have been exploring just how remarkable this blanket bog landscape is. the landscape of the flow country is truly epic, stretching across virtually the whole of the north highlands. but to really understand it, you need to get in real close. it's only then you see some of the 29 different bog building moss species. there are carnivorous plants here, including these sundews. and all this plant life supports lots of insect species. then there are all the rare birds and other animals in this extraordinary place. the flow country represents 5% of all blanket bog resource in the world, but it's also in really good condition compared to other places, so it's a brilliant, brilliant example of what a blanket bog can look like and the type
10:31 pm
of species that you can be find here. and that's not the only thing that makes this ecosystem unique. these peat bogs are also an incredible store of carbon, aren't they? they are, they're amazing — in the flow country alone, we have more than 400 million tonnes of carbon storage here, an incredible amount. so 400 million tonnes, just to put that in perspective, it's very roughly twice the amount of carbon stored in all the trees in the uk. and we can show you why, can't we? look at this! this will show you why there's so much carbon, just look how deep this bog is. and this isn't even all! here we go! six metres. in some of the remote parts of the bog, the peat is ten metres deep, isn't it? ten metres deep. there is restoration work under way to repair damage from conifer plantations. this is a broch, an almost 3,000—year—old dwelling place.
10:32 pm
it's a really ancient landscape... the bid team say world heritage status would bring huge benefits to the area. it would bring a lot morejobs, because obviously there would be more restoration activities going on, there will also be a real boom in tourism, and finally there will be more research done, so better understanding of how to manage and how to protect these ecosystems going forward. getting world heritage status would be great news for this place, but also for peatlands worldwide — bringing bogs the international acclaim they deserve. justin rowlatt, bbc news, the flow country. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. officers since the incident, what have they told you? that officers since the incident, what have they told you?— have they told you? that officer obviously didn't _ have they told you? that officer obviously didn't know _ have they told you? that officer obviously didn't know his - have they told you? that officer obviously didn't know his role. l have they told you? that officer l obviously didn't know his role. he snapped. whatever reason. we don't know what led up to him having to
10:33 pm
use the taser on that individual. he should have handcuffed the person, let them sit up, take them away. but he tasered him and then he kicked him. itjust shows, if people don't know their role they can easily overstep the mark.— know their role they can easily overstep the mark. could he at any oint in overstep the mark. could he at any point in that _ overstep the mark. could he at any point in that incident, _ overstep the mark. could he at any point in that incident, the - overstep the mark. could he at any point in that incident, the officer, l point in that incident, the officer, have thought that the man was armed? they always have to think that but there was nothing to suggest that anyone was armed. they already had their tasers and had done their assessment. he is the contact person. there was the observation officers to make sure that no one brandishes a weapon of one form or another but the fact that he was so disproportionate and unnecessary, in my eyes... disproportionate and unnecessary, in m e es... ~ . ., ., my eyes... what if he thought one of the men was — my eyes... what if he thought one of the men was going _ my eyes... what if he thought one of the men was going to _ my eyes... what if he thought one of the men was going to grab _ my eyes... what if he thought one of the men was going to grab his - my eyes... what if he thought one of the men was going to grab his gun? l the men was going to grab his gun? he was nowhere near it. the really
10:34 pm
strange thing is he went down, after he kicked him he went down with his knee. if someone was going to grab a gun, he put himself in proximity. he then moves onto else and kicked someone and hit them on the back of the head. �* , �* ., someone and hit them on the back of the head. �* , �* . ., , someone and hit them on the back of the head. �* , �* . .,, the head. andy burnham has said that there is context, that _ the head. andy burnham has said that there is context, that he _ the head. andy burnham has said that there is context, that he has - the head. andy burnham has said that there is context, that he has seen - there is context, that he has seen all of the video, which many of us haven't, that it is a fast escalating situation, it is armed police at an airport who are on eight heightened state of alert. so they are operating to a different standard to the police on the street. is that important context? the stress level and the alertness they have to have, fully on, but in terms of a different standard, no. they should be even better at keeping their heads because they have a lot more training, in the recruitment phase, the views they have to go through, psychometric

10:36 pm
responsibilities they have in their geographical area. unfortunately they are in a similar state, special measures or they are going out of it but they still have some real issues around the culture. the real thing that feels so many good things, but some negative things and if you don't have checks and balances like sergeants and inspectors to hold the officers to account, you have a problem and we saw it with carrick and sarah everard, and wayne couzens, who murdered her, you have these type of units and they aren't exposed to accountability like general patrol officers.- exposed to accountability like general patrol officers. we'll come back to that- _ general patrol officers. we'll come back to that. there _ general patrol officers. we'll come back to that. there was _ general patrol officers. we'll come back to that. there was concern i general patrol officers. we'll come i back to that. there was concern that the initial statement from greater manchester police wasn't good enough. have you been reassured by what you heard?— what you heard? absolutely not because what _ what you heard? absolutely not because what greater _ what you heard? absolutely not l because what greater manchester police _ because what greater manchester police have done in the immediate aftermath— police have done in the immediate aftermath is something that the police _ aftermath is something that the police service in the uk always

10:41 pm
and being nice to people and running off from rioters. they want the police to do theirjob. and i think these police yesterday should be commended. in fact, i'd give them a medal. because look what happened yesterday, what we've been told so far. a female officer had her nose broken. other officers dragged to the ground, they've tried to take the gun. we've got officers in hospital who were in the airport. earlier that day, we had a soldier brutally attacked from a frenzied knife attack. what's going through these officers's mind when they see something like that kicking off? we should support them, back off and let them get on with the job. there are a lot of people who, like lee anderson, think we are so quick to criticise policing, the way that it is done, that you are frightened of doing thejob. i it is done, that you are frightened of doing the job.— of doing the “oh. i was a police officer for _ of doing the job. i was a police officer for 30 _ of doing the job. i was a police officer for 30 years _ of doing the job. i was a police officer for 30 years and - of doing the job. i was a police officer for 30 years and i - of doing the job. i was a police officer for 30 years and i know| of doing the job. i was a police - officer for 30 years and i know when officers have overstepped the mark. this is an example. having an mp saying totally... inappropriate things... i'm trying to be diplomatic. that literally fuels this rhetoric that officers can't do
