a year on from the police shooting of chris kaba, his mother and father say they are still coming to terms with their loss. very hard for everyone, the family, because since on that day, every day is a big issue for us. if there is football, we think about chris, music, we think about chris, we are home, we think about chris, everything. mr kaba was killed in streatham hill, south london, after the car he was driving was followed by an unmarked police car. the two vehicles collided on a residential street and a marksman fired one shot through the windscreen, hitting the 24—year—old in the head. it later emerged the audi car chris kaba was driving, which didn't belong to him, had been linked by police to a firearms incident the previous day. the independent office for police conduct completed its homicide investigation five months ago and passed their evidence on to the crown prosecution service. but the family say they are yet to hear anything back on a charging decision for the officer who fired the gun. so what about us? what about us?

the chief constable of the police service of northern ireland, simon byrne, has resigned. he had been facing calls to quit after a series of controversies in recent weeks, including a data breach which resulted in the details of thousands of stopping leaked online and a court ruling that two officers had been unlawfully disciplined. chris page reports. after weeks of pressure, the police chief gave in. simon byrne had been questioned several times by the board which held him to account. but the sign he resigned came when he didn't arrive at the latest emergency meeting. the search is beginning for somebody new to take on one of the toughest jobs in policing. i think police forces all over the uk and ireland have challenges. we have more than an awful lot of other services in terms of border, where we have resources, where we have financial packages, security issues, all of those areas.
11:54 am
so it's not going to be easy for anybody, but there are people out there who are dedicated to policing. officers and civilian workers have been dealing with an increased risk to their safety. last month, details of all 10,000 staff were mistakenly published online. detectives believe the information is now with dissident republican paramilitary groups, who continue to target members of the security forces. last week there was more controversy. a court ruled that two officers who carried out this arrest had been unlawfully disciplined because of pressure from the nationalist party sinn fein. unionist politicians say mr byrne was right to stand down. now we want to see confidence rebuilt in northern ireland's police service and we will work with the psni. they have our full support to deliver effective and efficient policing for everyone in northern ireland in a way that commands cross community support.

being chief constable here can here means dealing with unique political sensitivities and security threats. the rule will be all the more demanding after such a massive crisis of trust in the police's leadership. chris page, bbc news, belfast. hello. we've two seasons in one day again today. the early morning autumn fog clearing and then temperatures will soar. yesterday, we had 30 degrees. once again through today, and for the rest of the week, we'll see temperatures in that sort of category in the hottest spots, the warmest spots. plenty of sunshine, as well. there are a few flies in the ointment. this is a weak weather front still across parts of northern scotland, just threatening a few showers as well in the south and the west of both england and wales. even the odd rumble of thunder, but the exception rather than the rule. what that will do is increase the humidity. the breeze is picking up a little in southern areas, as well.
11:56 am
as it's an easterly, it's going to drag some low clouds and sea haar and fret close to the east coast of scotland and north—east england. so the highest temperatures for scotland further west today, perhaps 26, but widely the mid 20s. the high 20s possibly into the low 30s in the south and east. there's that low cloud, though, and it will creep further inland as we go through the night. so it is going to increase in humidity both because we've got that moisture coming off the north sea and that south to south—easterly flow further south. temperatures 14s and 15s quite widely, but a little higher in some of our biggest cities. there's the high pressure that's keeping things dry sat to the east of us. therefore, we've got this southerly wind across the uk, or southerly or south—easterly, which will continue through tomorrow, when we expect the peak of the heat to come actually through wednesday and thursday with some really humid nights wednesday night and thursday night — quite uncomfortable for sleeping given the time of year. but there will be some relief during the evening, at least, with the nights a little longer.
11:57 am
so that low cloud gets burnt away a little bit on wednesday, perhaps hugging some of the coasts in eastern scotland, perhaps some early morning fog elsewhere, but most of the sun's energy taken in lifting those temperatures once again. come thursday, there's probably a slight increased risk of showers breaking out as that low pressure sitting to the south just starts to push a little bit further north, so most likely central and northern areas, but not putting any detail on that just yet. temperatures once again in the mid to high 20s for many parts of england and wales, certainly the mid—20s further north, as well, butjust the hint that by the end of the weekend things start to cool down and turn a little more unsettled once again.
