Racial discrimination: Armed forces told to do more to tackle issue

More must be done to tackle racial discrimination in the UK's armed forces, the most senior military officer has said.

General Sir Nick Carter, chief of the defence staff, called on all personnel to see the potential in every recruit and "refuse to allow intolerance".

The message comes after a meeting of the heads of the services on Wednesday.

There had been "soul searching" about events highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement, a defence source said.
