A British jury has cleared a police officer of murder, after he fatally shot an unarmed black man in the head in south London two years ago.

Martyn Blake shot 24-year-old Chris Kaba in September 2022.

The 40-year-old says he feared lives were in danger, and the shots weren't intended to kill Kaba.

UK correspondent Enda Brady unpacks the controversy further.
