Britain's biggest police force was reeling tonight after an undercover investigation showed racist officers calling for immigrants to be shot.

In an appalling new race scandal, a group of Scotland Yard officers were caught on camera calling for foreigners to be shot, dismissing rape victims and revelling in the use of force.

The head of Scotland Yard issued a public apology ahead of a devastating Panorama documentary exposing a cadre of officers behaving in an 'appalling criminal way.'

Sir Mark Rowley vowed that nine serving officers, one ex-officer and a designated detention officer would be kicked out of the force within weeks if found guilty of gross misconduct on 'incontrovertible evidence' of racism, misogyny, anti-Muslim sentiment and bragging about excessive use of force.

In an undercover Panorama programme broadcast tonight officers were caught on camera sharing racist views about Muslims, making sexual comments about women being detained and dismissing rape victims.
