| |  | Caroline McClatchey 28 September 2023 | | | Good morning. We bring you the findings from a two-year BBC investigation into the use, or rather misuse, of body-worn cameras by police officers. There's also the German man who pays for people to get out of prison and our Russia editor goes semi-undercover to watch the Barbie movie in Moscow. | | | |
 Police officers widely misusing body-worn cameras Body-worn cameras were intended to benefit both victims and the police - protecting officers against malicious complaints and improving the quality of evidence collected. But during a two-year investigation, the BBC has uncovered more than 150 reports of misuse by forces in England and Wales. These include police officers switching off their cameras when force is used, as well as deleting footage and sharing videos on WhatsApp. The case of siblings Louisa, 25, and Yufial, 23, highlights some of the concerns. They were prosecuted after being accused of assaulting and abusing officers at a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020. They always maintained their innocence and insisted that the police assaulted them. They faced a two-year legal battle to obtain crucial body-worn video evidence showing use of force by police against them. They were both eventually acquitted. The Metropolitan Police told the BBC there were errors with disclosure of evidence and apologised. | | | | | | | | | |

| | Labour backtracks on private school charity status Labour has dropped plans to end charitable status for private schools if it wins power. Party leader Sir Keir Starmer is among those who have said in the past that they would end the status, which exempts some private schools in England and Wales from taxes. The party now says it will remove other "unfair tax breaks" to raise money to recruit more teachers for the state system. The Conservatives accused Labour of a U-turn and questioned whether the tax changes would raise the £1.7bn claimed. | | | | | |

|  Russians queue up to see Barbie despite sanctions Officially, the Barbie movie isn't showing in Russia. But the BBC's Steve Rosenberg finds Moscow cinemagoers are tickled pink by an obscure 15-minute Russian film (wink, wink). Russia’s culture ministry is less amused by the film and beyond Moscow, there’s not a Barbie or Ken to be seen. | | | | | |

| 'Every parent's worst nightmare' A number of papers cover the killing of a 15-year-old girl who was stabbed on her way to school in Croydon, south London on Wednesday morning. The Metro reports the attack took place after a row on a double decker bus. The Sun says a 17-year-old boy was later arrested on a tram around five miles away and is being held on suspicion of murder. The Daily Mail quotes a senior police officer, who described the attack as "every parent's worst nightmare". The Guardian has a different lead, with a report that HMRC is investigating the tax affairs of one of the Conservative party's biggest and most influential donors. Read more on that and the other top stories. | | | |
