## Resource

The former Home Secretary, Lord Blunkett, has told the BBC that the police service in England and Wales isn't good enough, and that its leadership needs, in his words, an 'ethical reset'. The Labour peer has carried out a review of police leadership, which will say there are significant causes for concern. Also: Vast crowds of Iranians loyal to the Islamic Republic have gathered in Tehran to pay their respects to the country's former supreme leader. And: Prince Harry will not be joined by his wife and their two children when he visits London next week.
