four retired metropolitan police officers who led the first investigation into stephen lawrence's murderon't face criminal prosecution. the 18—year—old was killed in a racially motivated attack in east london back in 1993. only two men have ever been convicted of his murder, despite detectives believing he was attacked by a large group. the crown prosecution service have been considering whether failures in the early stages of the probe were so serious that they amounted to misconduct in a public office. let's speak now to danny shaw who is a crime, justice and leasing commentator. danny, give us your reaction to what's been said today? well, i'm not surprised that the crown prosecution service has decided not to bring charges against these four. that is because proving this offence, or getting it to a point where you can take it to court, is extraordinarily difficult, particularly when you're dealing with events that happened in the 19905. with events that happened in the 1990s. the evidence for proving the offence will be very difficult to obtain. memories have faded. and so on and so

stephen: beijing needs the private sector.the companies that were trapped down to size during the years long regulatory crackdown that really began in october, november of 2020. we are talking three years now of regulatory pressure. that has really damaged a lot of confidence in investment, both by those companies obviously as they have been restructuring -- alibaba has been cut down into six different divisions that need to unlock their own value and raise their own funds. they are not the behemoth giant they were, but that was the goal of the crackdown, under the guise of antimonopoly behavior. -- anti-monopolistic behavior, i should say. so it is a different netscape now. also coming out of covid zero, china's economy has not picked up steam as anticipated. you can kind of see, if you bring up charts of alibaba or pinduoduo or tencent, the year-to-date charts show what i have been talking about consistently, and that is fits and starts of confidence in these platform companies. not that upwards that some would have expected
