make good. you're not there to just make up good. you're not there to just make up numbers either, you're wanting semi—real impression in this league, too. absolutely. we want people to come and look at us. to do that we need a good team. we have always had that mantra. we have always tried to get the best possible b could. that will not change forcibly, we are not there to make the numbers up. we wa nt to there to make the numbers up. we want to compete. at the end of the day, if you're in a competition you need to be having your own mind. whether you do or do not have the belief that you commence something. we will be no different. we have a world —class we will be no different. we have a world—class coach and players. we clearly need to add to that, you know. but we are not frightened to make a headline and so we think games that bring headlines like that with personality is the way to go.” would not mind a trip of a toronto for a rugby game. if you're an elite diver — you're pretty good at getting

in and out of the water. well, olympians jack laugher and his team mates have taken it to a new level. taking some time out while at a training camp, jack, dan goodfellow, matty lee, yona knight wisdom, lucas thomson and noah williams — inspired by the avengers. i think as good as their diving is, i think there's some creative mobile phone work at play here. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. but on the team here, good night. you are watching bbc news. the metropolitan police commissioner has apologise for mistakes made by the

police during investigation into an alleged vip paedophile ring. a review of operation midland by a former high court judge review of operation midland by a former high courtjudge identified 43 police failings during the investigation. the independent officer police conduct has said no officer police conduct has said no officer should face misconduct charges. but it is been accused of a whitewash by the former mp harvey proctor, he was one of those from the edges. the commissioner says they will ensure the report's recommendations are implemented. they have raised a number of lessons for us, a number of things they want is to implement. i think they are very important areas and we need to be assured, for example, that we are dealing effectively with warrants. dealing effectively with searching premises and a number of other areas of policing which are fundamental. i think it's raising serious questions about the way we did this kind of things, back then in 2014 and 15 in that operation. i am going to work

closely with her majesty inspector to make sure that we have implemented the relevant lessons of the report and that we do implement effectively, especially the recommendations from the iop sea report. i have today appointed a deputy assistant commissioner to work full—time on that and report directly to me. do you direct the failings in that investigation?” absolutely begat, verse about the impact that midland had on the people who were accused by coral beach, a liar who is now serving 18 yea rs beach, a liar who is now serving 18 years in prison. —— by karl beech. i will apologise again today. yes, as commissioner i regard the failings identified. can you understand that someone identified. can you understand that someone with extensive experience in policing, he has been a detective,

how those seasoned detectives in some cases be taken in by karl beech and his lies? he was a liar, he was in some ways i think a convincing liar and everyone who has looked at his videos and transcripts, including i thing so richard, would say at one level he was a very convincing liar. however, if we had earlier examined his credibility more, if we had looked more deeply for corroboration earlier on, we but perhaps with hindsight had been able to establish that he was lying. do you understand how those senior officers did not do that? did not test his credibility in the way that sir richard said he did not?” test his credibility in the way that sir richard said he did not? i think there are many things that we have to learn from midland. i think —— i

accept entirely that we perhaps should have reviewed midland earlier. i accept that at that time in policing nationally there was a policy and a set of practices that tended to suggest to officers that they should believe complainants, so—called victims, whatever they said and investigate the allegation, rather than at any early—stage beginning to investigate the individual. there are lots of things to learn from that. i think we can all stand here now and second—guess what individual did back then, certainly i accept the report and the learning on behalf of metropolitan police and i also accept entirely the iopc findings that the officers did not commit any misconduct or criminal activity and indeed as sir richard makes clear, they were acting with propriety and my words in good faith. can i ask you about that face credible and

true, which she kind of dog. said on the radio last month that it was a spur of the moment expression by the officer and we now know it was approved in advance. that was a terrible mistake, did you bring that 7 terrible mistake, did you bring that id terrible mistake, did you bring that 7 did you terrible mistake, did you bring that up? did you base that is an issue at the time? so, i do absolutely, it was a mistake to stop it should not have been said. i thought, when i heard it, what they are trying to say is that this person appears to the investigating officers to be credible. but is not been said and which right. do you think there is a need for a further investigation? because harvey proctor has today branded the iopc enquiry is a whitewash and people are saying that they should be some by the enquiries. there is a dealing that the matter is really had not been urged properly, that there are people perhaps it should be held

responsible for the failings.” absolutely understand, i cannot put myself in the shoes of the people who have been impacted in a spy. but i completely understand there will be people who will say, if it went wrong in the ways described, why has not somebody more obviously been held to account as an individual? it is not myjob to second—guess the iopc. they are totally independent. i never ever was comment on investigation of theirs. they have come to their decision, they are the right people to come to that decision and let us not forget this investigation has also been reviewed by sir richard and reviewed on one —— more than one occasion by other police officers. in my view there is no requirement whatsoever for any further investigation. myjob is to make sure they met lance and mavis into the future and that is why at that interplay is the leadership today, infrastructure and other closely with her majesty's inspector to make sure that we continue to

investigate historic allegations with impartiality, without fear or favour, with integrity and having learnt the lessons of iopc. —— midland. just a moment beyond 100 days, but first the weather. umbrellas at the valley. for today for some of us it has been brain. clear spells with showers, most of these pushing into western areas. temperatures not going down too far, they were not overnight this week, it is too went for any prost or fogg. into tomorrow, a lot of sunshine to saturday. the showers in the west will push further east and be heavy. hail as possible, too. these are just showers, they move through quite quickly. it would be quite a gusty wind for many of us, gusting up to 40 miles an hour or so. gusting up to 40 miles an hour or

so. they move on quickly and you will get to see the sunshine. again, the showers are going to miss frequent across western parts of scotland. the places will avoid at least a shower during the day and temperatures around about the mid—teens, some may be 17 or even 18 celsius.
