Charlotte police will not release shooting video

The police chief of Charlotte, North Carolina, says authorities do not plan to publicly release video footage of the death of Keith Lamont Scott.

A police officer fatally shot Scott on Tuesday, after he allegedly refused to drop a gun during an interaction with authorities.

Police Chief Kerr Putney says Scott's family has asked to view the video, and their request will be accomodated.

The family claims Scott was holding a book, not a gun. Chief Putney says the video does not provide conclusive visual proof that Scott was holding a gun, but that other evidence supports him being armed.

When questioned by reporters on his decision not to release the video, Mr Putney said he "never promised full transparency."

Prince William speaks about Illegal Wildlife Trade ahead of CITES

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, has addressed concerns over the Illegal Wildlife Trade ahead of a conference in South Africa which will be attended by delegates from all over the world.


The 17th meeting of parties to the Convention for International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES, will discuss the continuing threat to any of the world's species, including elephants and rhinos.


The Illegal Wildlife trade is recognised as the fourth largest transnational crime by value and is estimated to be worth up to 20 billion dollars each year. As well as endangering animals, it also fuels corruption and violence.


Speaking in London, Prince William said the time to act is now and called on all countries to work together to put a stop to the IWT.
