the prime minister was asked about the issue on a visit to hertfordshire, north of london, today. 0urfirearmsth decisions in a split second to keep us safe and they deserve our gratitude for their bravery. it is important when they are using these legal powers that they do so with clarity and certainty about what they are doing, especially given the lethality they are using. that's why the home secretary has asked her department to review the guidance that the officers are operating under to make sure that it is robust and that it commands the confidence notjust of the officers but of the public as well. obviously it wouldn't be right for me to speculate on ongoing cases but that's what we are doing. live now to the former chief constable of britain's third—largest police force, greater mancheter constabulary, can you give us insights and to why some officers are refusing to carry firearms? sir peter fahy. a lack of confidence in the home office and the independent 0ffice a lack of confidence in the home office and the independent office of police conduct and the amount of time investigation

leila nathoo has been to stevenage in hertfordshire to get reaction to the changes. as the top priority. and there's no gas in the building at all? no gas... kieron, who's been working on the project, is disappointed to hear the prime minister is now watering down green targets. the government needs to set the initiatives and enforce industry to follow along and if they don't, it doesn't happen. particularly if they flip—flop and aren't consistent all the way through would concern me. it's places like stevenage that are going to be the key battlegrounds come the next general election. rishi sunak�*s gamble is that changing tack on green policies will prove to be a vote winner. it would definitely influence the way i vote. at the moment, i'm not sure the government is doing enough. it is difficult at the moment. i think with the cost of living crisis... but someone of my age, i think you just have to accept it. what they're doing with the ulez stuff, doing more harm to the working class than anyone else. i think it's good that they're - giving us more time now but thi
