UK Special Forces at centre of Afghan war crimes inquiry

Available for over a year

The Ministry of Defence has confirmed for the first time that UK Special Forces are at the centre of an inquiry into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan. The MoD had previously refused to confirm or deny the claims, after the BBC revealed evidence that the SAS killed dozens of unarmed people between 2010 and 2013. A former British officer in Afghanistan tells us the move is highly significant. Also in the programme: as the NHS turns 75 we discuss its future with a former health secretary, a local NHS leader, and the first baby born under the NHS; and the new racket game of pickleball is taking off in the US- will it capture the public imagination here?
