david carrick, the serving police officer who committed violent and degrading sexual offences against a dozen women over nearly two decades. the country's biggest police force, the metropolitan police, in which he served, missed many opportunities to stop him. injanuary, the force promised to root out rogue officers. it began a review looking at all completed sexual offence, or domestic abuse cases, made against officers and staff in the ten years up until april last year, concerning individuals who weren't dismissed at the time. today, an update from the met on that review. of the more than 1,000 individuals reinvestigated, it's concluded that 196 face urgent risk assessments or vetting reviews. 689 will undergo a new assessment

to pursue new or missed lines of inquiry. and 246 will face no formal action. the review determined correct action was taken at the time. all the cases will also be reassessed by an independent panel of experts. criminal convictions of serving officers are also being looked into. we have 161 officers with criminal convictions. the majority of those, we knew about the criminal conviction before theyjoined policing. and in line with national vetting standards, they were assessed and it was felt appropriate for them to join. it may be a very minor conviction ten or 15 years before theyjoin the police, and they've now got a good work history. but frankly, having looked at them, some of them concern me that i think we shouldn't have let them in. national vetting standards are quite permissive in giving a range of interpretation. we're looking here at putting some tougher standards in where, unless you've got the most minor

historic conviction, you're not you're not going to be joining the police. i think over the next two or three years, we're going to be removing hundreds of people from this organisation who shouldn't be here. last month, a major review branded the met institutionally sexist, racist and homophobic. the review, by baroness casey, highlighted a boys club culture across the organisation. the met commissioner says over the next two or three years the force will remove hundreds of people from the organisation who shouldn't be working for it. there is still much work to be done. restoring public confidence will also take time. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the former snp chief executive peter murrell, who's also the husband of former first minister nicola sturgeon, has been released without charge by police, after he was arrested yesterday pending an investigation into the party's finances. 0ur reporterjames shaw joins us now from outside nicola sturgeon's house in glasgow.

good morning. what should we expect to happen next?— to happen next? well, that is a very aood to happen next? well, that is a very good question- _ to happen next? well, that is a very good question. what _ to happen next? well, that is a very good question. what you _ to happen next? well, that is a very good question. what you can - to happen next? well, that is a very good question. what you can see i to happen next? well, that is a very good question. what you can see is| good question. what you can see is the house behind me, the curtains and blinds are drawn. the lights are off. we don't know if anybody is at home. we don't know if peter murrell is there. we don't know if nicola sturgeon is there. we do know he was released without charge be for 7pm yesterday. —— before. there is still a police presence here. this big tent put up at the front of the house. essentially, that is so the police can remove evidence from the house into a van parked inside the tent yesterday. and take it away very discreetly. so that no camera, no lines, is going to capture whatever the police are taking out of this house. in terms of how the

investigation progresses from here, it looks as though the police have gathered a lot of evidence from this location. also from the snp headquarters in edinburgh. although the —— although we think the work they have done there has never finished. they need to process all of that evidence and then they will put together a report which will go to the public prosecutor in scotland, the procurator fiscal, and it will be for the fiscal to decide what happens with this investigation. he, orvery, will make a judgment as to whether there is enough evidence to proceed with a prosecution against peter murrell, or whether indeed it is possible that the case will not progress beyond that report to the fiscal. james, thank you very much. james short in glasgow. the conservative mp, scott benton, has been suspended from the party while he is investigated over secretly filmed footage. the video, released by the times newspaper, appears to show him describing lobbying services he could

potentially provide to a fake company. 0ur political correspondent ione wells joins us now. morning. do you want to explain to us actually what was recorded, what was seen and heard?— us actually what was recorded, what was seen and heard? morning. well, the times has _ was seen and heard? morning. well, the times has published _ was seen and heard? morning. well, the times has published what - was seen and heard? morning. well, the times has published what is - the times has published what is essentially secretly filmed footage of some of its reporters posing as gambling investors as part of a sting. they claim to be offering the mp scott a paid advisory to these gambling investors. in the extracts that have been published by the times we can see scott benton offering various services that he might be able to provide. these include asking questions in parliament on behalf of of the firm. and also, other services too, like being able to discuss upcoming changes to gambling laws with the relevant minister, and even leaking

them a draft copy of planned new legislation to clamp down on gambling. the mps' code of conduct as specifically prevent any questions being asked in the houses of parliament other than for parliamentary reasons. scott benton has said that after this interaction he suspected that what he was being asked to do was not within the rules and didn't have any further contact with the company. it doesn't appear that any explicit rules have been broken in practice. however, the conservative chief whip, simon hart, in charge of party discipline, said he has referred himself to the parliamentary standards commissioner. he has been suspended from the conservative party while that investigation is ongoing. while it does seem like no rules have been broken in practice, this whole incident has raised fresh questions, after the tory mp 0wen paterson was suspended last year for breaching lobbying rules, about whether mps

are aware enough of some of the rules they need to abide by. it has also shed a light i think on the influence of the gambling industry influence of the gambling industry in parliament. fresh laws to tackle gambling addiction are coming up in westminster. gambling addiction are coming up in westminster-— there will be attempts to alleviate traffic congestion in dover this easter weekend, in a bid to avoid long delays similar to those that built up last friday. the port of dover said it had decided to spread coach traffic across today, tomorrow and saturday, after talks with ferry operators. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin is live for us this morning. effo rts efforts to get on top of the problem, but i suppose what many commuters, many travellers, people setting off on trips abroad will be thinking about is, are they going to succeed? ~ , ., thinking about is, are they going to succeed? ~ , . ,., ., succeed? well, yeah. the port and eve bod succeed? well, yeah. the port and everybody else _ succeed? well, yeah. the port and everybody else involved _ succeed? well, yeah. the port and everybody else involved have - everybody else involved have acknowledged that what happened last weekend was a horrible situation, including for school children and elderly people. they say it is a

priority to try to make sure things do run smoothly over the next few days. the really dull —— long delays and queues last weekend which saw some coach passengers say they were waiting for 12 hours or more to get to their very, they were blamed on various things, including bad weather, more coaches than expected, and the time it takes to process people at the border. we have extra passport checks. passports being stamped after brexit. there has been a review. the courts have come up with measures to make sure things do run smoothly. —— report. the next few days are expected to be very busy. 30% fewer coaches are expected. but good friday was expected. but good friday was expected to be the busiest day for traffic. is being done is trying to move some coach travel from friday to thursday and saturday instead.

more space has been created to process coach passengers at the border by putting up another marquee. the french border police are going to be sending a full cohort of staff across, even though there are expected to be, as i said, fewer coaches. they have also told car drivers not to arrive too early, to avoid adding to the problem. but many people, yes, we'll be waiting to see for themselves whether the big queues we saw last weekend can be avoided this time around. thank ou ve be avoided this time around. thank you very much- _ be avoided this time around. thank you very much. katie _ be avoided this time around. thank you very much. katie austen - be avoided this time around. thank you very much. katie austen in - you very much. katie austen in dover. the us presidentjoe biden has accepted an invitation from king charles to come to the uk on a state visit. the invite was made during a recent telephone call, where president biden confirmed he would not be attending the coronation next month. mr biden will begin a four—day trip to northern ireland and the irish republic in belfast next week, to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. hundreds of people with inherited breast or prostate cancer could now benefit from a new drug treatment on the nhs in england and wales.

it's designed to treat specific cancers linked to faulty versions of genes. the healthcare body nice said it would improve quality of life. 0ur health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. it came as a huge shock at the time. i led such a fit and active life up until then. ava lee and her husband danny love outdoor sports. but just over two years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, caused by a faulty inherited gene known as brca. i was scared about what was going to happen next, because i knew that the type of cancer that i had, it can come back. she was then given early access to the ground—breaking treatment 0laparib following a recent successful trial. what has it meant for you and your family for you to be on this treatment? i think it's given me a realistic chance of future without cancer, that i can live a long

and healthy life. scientists at the institute for cancer research in london have played a leading role in the development of 0laparib. this is very exciting. 0laparib, taken for a year as a tablet treatment, reduces the risk of life threatening recurrence, and improves the chance of surviving breast cancer by about a third. 0laparib works by targeting the repair system in these cancer cells, which weakens them and destabilises them, and ultimately cuts off a tumor�*s ability to grow. hundreds of nhs patients with early stage breast cancer will now be eligible for 0laparib in england and wales. and in line with scotland, patients with advanced prostate cancer will also be offered this life extending treatment. although it has been the worst time of my life, it has also —

there are positive things to come out of it and i think that i'll treasure every day that i have with family and friends from now on. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. a siren which will sound on smartphones across the uk to test a new public warning system has been rescheduled to avoid going off during the fa cup semi—final. the test on sunday the 23rd of april has been moved from early evening to 3pm, so it won't alarm thousands of football fans at wembley stadium. in future it will be used by the government to warn of extreme weather and terror attacks. do we get to hear what it sounds like? we will do later. i have seen this and i understand why it has been moved. i have experienced this abroad in the united states. there was a tornado warning. all the phones, because they register your phones, because they register your phone when you go to the united states, and the car, they start

screeching. i thought the car was breaking down. it is quite an alarming alarm, but it certainly gets your attention. was there a tornado? yes. did you see it? yes. that is a nice link to the weather. carol will not be bringing us tornadoes. i saw carol nodding. you are aware of these warnings. it is quite frightening when you hear them for the first time? absolutely right. i had exactly the same as you. a tornado warning. when you see tornado warning, that in itself is pretty frightening. there are no tornadoes in my forecast this morning. what we have is rain continuing to put eastwards. behind it we are looking at it mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. some of those showers will be potent. we have got this rain pushing from the west to the east of the night. already we have got some showers in the west behind it. we will see further showers develop. slowly this rain clears into the

north sea for all but the far north—east of scotland. shetland will stay wet and windy all day. then we have got the bright spells, sunshine and to the showers. some of them will be heavy and thundery, especially lincolnshire, east anglia and the south—east. temperatures today, we're looking at nine to 1a degrees. seven in lerwick. yesterday we hit 17 degrees in lossiemouth. the warmest day of the year so far in scotland. it will be cooler than that today. this evening and overnight we hang on to the showers for a time. but note how these guys really clear. it is going to be a cold night. and once again there will be some frost. —— note how the sky is clear. tomorrow we are starting off with a lot of dry weather and sunshine. the cloud close to the east coast will effect the east coast and places at times. you could catch the odd isolated shower. not much more. temperatures

tomorrow, a little bit milder, higher in the sunshine. nine to a0 degrees. i will bring you the rest of the forecast at about half an hour. back of the forecast at about half an hour. back to of the forecast at about half an hour. back to you. of the forecast at about half an hour. back to you. we of the forecast at about half an houn back to ou. ~ of the forecast at about half an houn back to ou. ~ , of the forecast at about half an houn back to ou. ~ , ,, of the forecast at about half an houn back to ou. ~ , ,, of the forecast at about half an houn back to ou. ~ , ,, ., back to you. we will see you in half an hour. thanks, charlie. look forward to it. i will set the clocks now. she wasn't threatening you, you know! she was just informing you. you shouldn't be holding back on or weather information, carol. if you have something to tell us, tell us. she was trying to but she spoke over her. i have a finite amount of time to bring you the weather. it will be a longer one. depending on how long you speak of course. can you keep it brief, please?! all right, 0k. it is usually the director saying that. today is carol. you don't listen to her either. let's have a look at today's papers. and several front pages carry the arrest of paul murrell,

former snp chief executive and husband of former first minister nicola sturgeon, as part of an investigation into party finances. the telegraph reports that police chiefs in scotland are being urged to reveal if they faced political pressure to delay the arrest, until after a replacement was found for ms sturgeon. mr murrell has since been released without charge. the times leads with its undercover investigation into the conservative mp scott benton. the newspaper said mr benton, who has since had the party whip removed, was offered a paid advisory role by reporters posing as gambling industry investors. he did not pursue the role and no rules appear to have been broken. the express focuses on prime minister rishi sunak�*s defence of government plans to house 500 migrants in a barge off the dorset coast. the paper says mr sunak has described it as fair and a saving for taxpayers. a photo of king charles

is also featured. everyone is interested in toilets. everybody. it is universal. we are all interested in toilets. we need them. given that we are all interested in toilets, this story will interest everyone. ialways toilets, this story will interest everyone. i always thought dual flush toilets were a good thing and they were water—saving devices. but it turns out that vaguely the government is talking about a new plan for water, saying, we are improving water efficiency in homes by developing minimum product standards for showers, taps and toilets. the problem apparently with these dual flush toilets, they were designed originally to save water, is that actually waste a lot of water every year. mineral deposits can cause valves to get stuck open and free toilets feel continuously. it ends up not saving water. is this

a mechanical thing, it ends up not saving water. is this a mechanicalthing, orare it ends up not saving water. is this a mechanical thing, or are people pressing the wrong button? well, to be honest i've got more questions than answers on this story. i thought if you pushed one less flush, and the other one, a biggerflush. but they less flush, and the other one, a bigger flush. but they seem to be suggesting it is part of the problem, along with power showers, which are using too much water. a nice thing to talk about first thing in the morning. well, it's important. 20 minutes past six. it was revealed yesterday that the fund set up by dame deborahjames the month before her death, has so far raised an incredible £11.3 million for cancer research. there will be no one prouder than deborah's husband sebastian, who's spoken about her legacy for the first time since she died, with our reporter graham satchell. so, this is the bowelbabe fund page and the amazing £11.3 million. deborahjames' husband sebastian and

about the live matter, but we've seen cases been referred to our domestic abuse and sexual offences team for investigation, and also to our investigators across wider policing when there are other concerns. a bbc london—commissioned poll has found 63 % of people don't have confidence in the met commissioner to "root out" corrupt officers. the survey�*s been carried out by yougov. it's surveyed over 1,000 londoners to gauge public trust in the met. young londoners have been telling us their experiences. i was writing i was just i wasjust in i was just in all blacks, i was asked why i was just in all blacks, it was really scary. i asked why i wasjust in all blacks, it was really scary.— it was really scary. i was waiting for a friend _ it was really scary. i was waiting for a friend has _ it was really scary. i was waiting for a friend has had _ it was really scary. i was waiting for a friend has had a _ it was really scary. i was waiting for a friend has had a corner - it was really scary. i was waiting l for a friend has had a corner shop when _ for a friend has had a corner shop when i _ for a friend has had a corner shop when i was — for a friend has had a corner shop when i was 15 and a police car pulled — when i was 15 and a police car pulled up. _ when i was 15 and a police car pulled up, and one of them hopped out of— pulled up, and one of them hopped out of the _ pulled up, and one of them hopped out of the car and said i looked suspicious. _ out of the car and said i looked suspicious, why am i doing there?

left behind it a legacy of cloud and we will be keeping that through much of the morning. then it will tend to brighten up. always the chance of some showers burrowing through on a brisk westerly wind. top temperatures 13 and 1a a bit later on through the afternoon, perhaps a rumble of thunder with those later showers. 0vernight tonight, the cloud were cleared to leave clearing skies, a chilly start to friday by which time high pressure building, looking dry and settled through saturday and sunday. it will start to feel milder as well. it may not be sunny all the time, quite a lot of cloud especially on saturday but temperatures by easter sunday could be as high as 16 degrees. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the metropolitan police

commissioner, sir mark rowley, has said there are hundreds of officers serving in the force who should not be there. it follows an investigation into more than a thousand staff, which was launched after serving officers were convicted of murder and rape. 0ur reporterjayne mccubbin has spoken to one woman who was sexually assaulted by a met policeman — she's revealed her identity to help others come forward. how did anthony smith view his uniform? i how did anthony smith view his uniform? ~ ., , how did anthony smith view his uniform? ~' ., , ., ., ., uniform? i think he was a good olice uniform? i think he was a good police officer _ uniform? i think he was a good police officer in _ uniform? i think he was a good police officer in many - uniform? i think he was a good j police officer in many respects. uniform? i think he was a good - police officer in many respects. we received commendations, yet by putting that uniform on, by having that warrant card, it enabled him to carry out these acts thinking he was untouchable. where would i go to if i can't go to, i can't go to the police? he is the police.- police? he is the police. last au:ust, police? he is the police. last august, former _ police? he is the police. last august, former met - police? he is the police. last august, former met police officer

anthony smith was jailed for 2a years for the rape and sexual assault of three young girls. the youngest is 13 years old. he had started to groom liz when she was 15. today she had taken the brave and unusual step of waving her anonymity for two reasons, to be a beacon for other survivors who might not have the courage to report their abuse, and to encourage the met to remain vigilant to those who abuse the authority and trust that comes with uniform. he groomed you, and he knew you were an ideal person to groom because of your life experience at that point. yeah. i had grown _ experience at that point. yeah. i had grown up — experience at that point. yeah. i had grown up with _ experience at that point. yeah. i had grown up with a _ experience at that point. yeah. i had grown up with a single - experience at that point. yeah. i l had grown up with a single parent family. my mum had significant mental health issues, and when i was 13, i was abused by the school bus driver. i was so at risk back then, and i was taken advantage of not

let's get the sport now. it is so tight at the bottom of the premier league, loads of teams trying to avoid the drop and west ham are one of them and with another defeat last night, it looks like it is getting into dangerous territory for them at the moment. declan rice looking really deflated at the moment. and the man in charge, the blame lies at his feet, doesn't it? another day, another football managerfeeling the pressure — this time it's west ham's david moyes. it's after the hammers were beaten 5—1 by newcastle at the london stadium. the visitors scored two goals in the first 15 minutes — but it was the fourth that will be remembered. this dreadful mistake by keeper lukasz fabianski gifted alexander isak the goal. the result means west ham are only just out of the relegation zone — on goal difference. we have to win our games. and, to be fair, ourform at home has recently been pretty good. you'll have been aware of the evacuation of the stands towards the end. the fans left a long way towards the end?

yeah, yeah. i would have as well, probably, if my team wasn't, eh, wasn't doing so well. but you know the one thing i would say, the players went right at it. right to the end they kept trying to do it, kept working as hard as they could, so their attitude and commitment has been fantastic. marcus rashford's remarkable season continues as he scored the winner to help united beat brentford 1—0 at old trafford. the win moves united back into the top four — with rashford's 15th goal of the season in the first half. it's a victory that lifts them above tottenham in the race for champions league places. now, he's been out of a job since january, but it looks like frank lampard could be heading back to chelsea. he's both played for and managed them previously — the bbc understands he'll be taking charge of the blues until the end of the season. they sacked manager graham potter on sunday. bruno salto is in interim charge at the moment. chelsea are currently 11 points off the top four, despite having spent more than £550 million on new players this season.

with the women's world cup just around the corner england manager serena weigman says she'll be watching her players closely when they take on brazil later tonight. the match is a sell out at wembley and is one of two scheduled friendlies which will be played before the tournament scheduled to start in four months' time. there's plenty of competition for places in england's world cup squad. but attention is firmly focused on tonight. northern ireland and wales also play tonight in a friendly in cardiff tonight. there are just a few hours to go until the masters starts at augusta in america. golf's first major of the year. and competition is fiercer than ever before — with golfers from the two rival tours, the pga and the saudi backed liv tour, taking part. but aside from that there's just one name on everyone's lips. rory mcilroy — can he do the grand slam? andy swiss reports.

so could this finally be his year? all eyes on rory mcilroy back for another shot at masters glory. during his stellar career, he's won every other major title, including the open, back in 201a. the masters, though, has always eluded him. but after practising with tiger woods, last year's runner up is hoping to be this year's champion. it would be a dream come true, a lifelong achievement, something that i've been striving for for 25 years, basically since i knew i was going to be a professional golfer. but if it were to happen this week or in another year down the line, it would certainly be worth the wait. his popularity here is plain to see. even many american fans are tipping him to win. how do you think rory�*s going to do this year? he's got a chance.

i think he could do it. i'd like to see rory pull one out. so i think it's rory's time. i would like to see rory win, too. not because this is a bbc deal, but i would like to see rory win. now augusta awaits for what is golf�*s ultimate challenge. well, for the next four days, this famous course will be the centre of the sporting world. the weather forecast isn't great with rain and thunderstorms expected, but drama is guaranteed. there are some intriguing subplots. 18 players from the breakaway liv golf league, including brooks koepka and sergio garcia, are taking part, which could create a little tension. but what every player will be hoping for is a bit of this. in yesterday's traditional eve of the masters par three contest, ireland's seamus power hit a hole in one, and then on the very next hole he only went and did it again. what are the chances? how the others would now love some of that masters magic. andy swiss, bbc news, augusta.

anglia and the south—east. we could hear the odd rumble of thunder here. temperatures, seven to 1a degrees. this evening and over night, some showers, under clear skies that temperatures will fall quite quickly and once again we are looking at a touch of frost. temperatures falling touch of frost. temperatures falling to freezing around belfast, —1 in glasgow. the good friday, relative dry weather, a lot of sunshine. what's towards the east, a weather front is close by, that will produce the odd shower and drizzle. temperatures 901a degrees. in two saturday, we have a weather front in towards the east, but we are looking at cloud breaking up. later in that day a weather front in northern ireland will produce some patchy

rain. dry weather and sunshine, rise of 15 or 16. easter sunday, at their bitter cloud round once again. a front coming into northern ireland. —— a fair bit of cloud around once again. a lot of brightness and sunshine, temperatures up to 16 degrees. 0vernight into easter monday, this weather front is clearing the easter by lunchtime and then we are looking at frequent showers. so for most of us for most of the bank holiday weekend, it is not looking too bad. thank you, see you later. e—scooters continue to divide opinion but the city of paris after residents voted to ban them earlier this week. e—scooters continue to divide opinion but the city of paris could be about to remove the rental vehicles from its streets after residents voted to ban them earlier this week. so what that mean for us here in the uk? hannah is looking at this for us this morning.

i think the only people who like these are the people who ride them! they are nothing if not controversial! they've been a common sight for a number of years now — e—scooters can be hired just outside this building in salford and in cities across the country. but not everyone is a fan. people who use them say they're convenient and reduce the number of cars on the road, critics say they are unsafe and a nuisance. in england they are legal on public roads — as long as you hire from one of the rental pilot schemes in cities including london, manchester, bristol and liverpool. each scheme has its own rules, but you need to have a full or provisional uk driving licence and many places insist you must be 18 as well. and while it is legal to buy and own an e—scooter, it's still illegal to ride your own vehicle on public roads. you can only do that on private land. the government says it wants to create a new vehicle category to govern the use of e—scooters but full details of the legislation have yet to be

published. and a pilot scheme in birmingham was paused last month amid safety concerns after two incidents with underage riders — including the death of a 12—year—old boy. so what do members of the public think? it is cheaper than the buses because i can use the buses because i can use the passes for three days as well and then i don't have to wait for the public transport. so it is convenient and flexible according to my timings. i love the idea that everybody's going electric, but i think they're pretty lethal as they are. i think there are a lot more . economical than other modes of transport, certainly. certainly for them sort of like mid distances where it's _ a bit too far to walk. but you know, it would always be people then driving. _ if you follow the rules correctly, i think it's really good. i've got a young daughter

is at university. i'd hate to have the thought of driving one of those things around. we can speak to jack samler, from voi. he manages their rental schemes in the uk and france. good morning. what do you say to people who think that these are a nuisance? i people who think that these are a nuisance? ., _ ., nuisance? i would say that fundamentally, _ nuisance? i would say that fundamentally, the - nuisance? i would say that fundamentally, the way i nuisance? i would say that i fundamentally, the way that we nuisance? i would say that _ fundamentally, the way that we move around our towns and cities needs to change. 0ne quarter of our carbon emissions in the uk come from transport. and we know that 60% of carjourneys transport. and we know that 60% of car journeys are transport. and we know that 60% of carjourneys are less than three miles with cars being static 95% of their lives and that is taking up street space which is increasingly rare. and i think we need to change the way we the move. e—scooter are part of that change, it is a disruption to the way that we moved, there is going to be a transition period but we need to focus on this being an important part of the

solution to help cities reach their climate goals. that is what we are focused on at the moment. i climate goals. that is what we are focused on at the moment. i know you are callin: focused on at the moment. i know you are calling for — focused on at the moment. i know you are calling for legislation _ focused on at the moment. i know you are calling for legislation on _ focused on at the moment. i know you are calling for legislation on their i are calling for legislation on their use in the uk, wouldn't that be difficult to enforce? brute use in the uk, wouldn't that be difficult to enforce?— difficult to enforce? we are currently — difficult to enforce? we are currently in _ difficult to enforce? we are currently in trials _ difficult to enforce? we are currently in trials which i difficult to enforce? we are| currently in trials which have difficult to enforce? we are - currently in trials which have been extended several times due to action not being taken to drive long—term legislation. we are now coming up to another extension which is going until may 202a. the government has committed to create light zero emission classes of vehicles a2 which would give us the operation long—term. we are expecting in the kings speech in novemberfor that long—term. we are expecting in the kings speech in november for that to be formally announced as the next step. the last two years have shown with the e—scooter trials we have been running, there is huge appetite for this. we have had 25 million right in the uk on our voi scooters

and a5 million including other operators, one third of those trips are a basic carjourneys and almost half are being used to commute to work and higher education. i think we know that in is there. people like e—scooters, they are safe, environmentally friendly and safe way to travel, we are excited to continue to work with cities to ensure they can meet their transport and environmental goals.— and environmental goals. thank you for speaking — and environmental goals. thank you for speaking to _ and environmental goals. thank you for speaking to us _ and environmental goals. thank you for speaking to us this _ and environmental goals. thank you for speaking to us this morning. it i for speaking to us this morning. it is worth saying that paris have been at the forefront of this with introducing the e—scooters. questions about whether the uk follows, perhaps we are not there at the moment, but it raises big questions for the industry. thank ou so questions for the industry. thank you so much- _ times are tough for many people and money is tight — but one young boy is spending all his pocket money in the hope

of putting a smile on a stranger's face. nine—year—old ewan has been handing out random bouquets of flowers in his hometown of guiseley in west yorkshire. jacob tomlinson went to meet him. excuse me. do you want some flowers for free? i'm trying to make people smile, and i spent them with my own pocket money. is that really so? that's really kind of weird, especially because i had just been to a funeral. meet ewan, the guiseley good samaritan, who's been handing out free flowers to passersby in his local community as a random act of kindness. there's like, there's a lot of people. he'll feel kind of sad. who feel kind of sad. i've never made so many people smile like that before. nine—year—old ewan first came up with the idea when he went into his local supermarket on mother's day and noticed lots of flowers for sale. so he decided with his own pocket money to buy some of those flowers, but not to give to his family, to give to complete strangers,

all because he wants to make people smile. i was a bit surprised. i said to him, you know, what do you want to do with the flowers? would you like to give them to grandma, to your sister? and he said, no, i'd like to give them to people who are passing by who look like they might need to smile. and i was just really taken aback. i was so proud. would you like any flowers for free? are you sure? yeah. i'm giving them out to people for my own pocket money. oh, that's amazing. oh, thank you very much. that's very kind of you. we've got home. somebody had posted on social media that she was the lady who she received the flowers and she put that she was so overwhelmed about how kind he was and what a generous thing to do. and then our local florist, they commented and said, come in tomorrow and you can have some bunches of flowers on us. that week there was

28 people who went away with with flowers. i felt happy afterwards because i've made someone's day. and so i really wanted to do it all to make people smile more. with a simple gesture, clearly making such a big difference, ewan wants to spread an important message, just spread kindness and just be kind to people. in ewan's case, the saying rings true. no acts of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. jacob tomlinson, bbc news. that made us think about random acts of kindness, if you have taken part in one, what was the impact, did it make you feel good or have you been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness? get in touch.

later on the show, our cameras have been allowed for the first time into a gambling addiction treatment centre for women. we'll hear from three people who say it's helped them turn their lives around. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria cook. bbc london has been told hundreds of calls reporting allegations of corrupt met police officers have been made by the public to a dedicated hotline. it was set up in november and sees staff work alongside the charity crimestoppers. those leading the hotline hope it provides confidence to the public reporting police behaviour. so we have had arrests made on the back of the intelligence that's come in. obviously, i don't want to talk about the live matter, but we've seen cases been referred to our domestic abuse and sexual offences team for investigation, and also to our investigators across wider policing when there are other concerns.

bbc london@bbc.co.uk. and listen live as sir mark rowley joins eddie nestor on bbc radio london from 10 am. thenjoin us for a bbc london special tonight at 6:30 on bbc one. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it is looking really quite promising again as we head through most of the easter bank holiday weekend, lots of dry settled weather and the temperatures will climb. for today some wet weather to get through first, it was raining last night, that weather front has pushed out to the east but it has left behind it a legacy of cloud and we will be keeping that through much of the morning. then it will tend to brighten up. always the chance of some showers blowing through on a brisk westerly wind.

top temperatures 13 and 1a a bit later on through the afternoon, perhaps a rumble of thunder with those later showers. 0vernight tonight, the cloud will clear to leave clearing skies, a chilly start to friday by which time high pressure building, looking dry and settled through saturday and sunday. it will start to feel milder as well. it may not be sunny all the time, quite a lot of cloud especially on saturday but temperatures by easter sunday could be as high as 16 degrees. that's it from us. don't forget to email us any questions you've got for the commissioner. we'll be back in half an hour. goodbye

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. trying to clean up the met — some officers are moved away from investigating serious crime and terrorism in order to root out unsuitable staff. i think over the next two or three years we're going to be removing hundreds of people from this organisation who shouldn't be here. nicola sturgeon's husband peter murrell has been been released without charge as police continue an investigation into the snp's finances.

and i am at dover where many coach passengers got stuck in long queues last weekend. plans are in place to make sure things go more smoothly in the next few days. he's one of the favourites but can rory do it? mcilroy has never won the masters. he says this will be the year he completes a career grand slam and slips on that green jacket. good morning. this easter weekend is looking mostly dry for most of us. today that we have got rain to clear the east. it will linger in the far north—east. then it is a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. details later. good morning. it's thursday, the 6th april. the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, has said there are hundreds of officers serving in the force who should not be there. it comes after an update on a review, which was launched following the murder of sarah everard

by a serving officer, and the jailing of former officer david carrick, for a series of violent offences against women. helena wilkinson reports. david carrick, the serving police officer who committed violent and degrading sexual offences against a dozen women over nearly two decades. the country's biggest police force, the metropolitan police, in which he served, missed many opportunities to stop him. injanuary, the force promised to root out rogue officers. it began a review looking at all completed sexual offence, or domestic abuse cases, made against officers and staff in the ten years up until april last year, concerning individuals who weren't dismissed at the time. today, an update from the met on that review. of the more than 1,000 individuals reinvestigated, it's concluded that 196 face urgent risk assessments or vetting reviews. 689 will undergo a new assessment to pursue new or missed lines

of inquiry. and 2a6 will face no formal action. the review determined correct action was taken at the time. all the cases will also be reassessed by an independent panel of experts. criminal convictions of serving officers are also being looked into. we have 161 officers with criminal convictions. the majority of those, we knew about the criminal conviction before theyjoined policing. and in line with national vetting standards, they were assessed and it was felt appropriate for them to join. it may be a very minor conviction ten or 15 years before theyjoin the police, and they've now got a good work history. but frankly, having looked at them, some of them concern me that i think we shouldn't have let them in. national vetting standards are quite permissive in giving a range of interpretation. we're looking here at putting some tougher standards in where,

unless you've got the most minor historic conviction, you're not you're not going to be joining the police. i think over the next two or three years, we're going to be removing hundreds of people from this organisation who shouldn't be here. last month, a major review branded the met institutionally sexist, racist and homophobic. the review, by baroness casey, highlighted a boys club culture across the organisation. the met commissioner says over the next two or three years the force will remove hundreds of people from the organisation who shouldn't be working for it. there is still much work to be done. restoring public confidence will also take time. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the former snp chief executive peter murrell, who's also the husband of former first minister nicola sturgeon, has been released without charge by police, after he was arrested yesterday as part of an investigation into the party's finances.

0ur reporterjames shaw joins us now from outside nicola sturgeon's house in glasgow. good morning. police are stressing this is an ongoing investigation? absolutely right. we can see the evidence right behind me. just within the last couple of minutes there has been a sudden flurry of activity by the police. behind me you can see the blue tent. you can also see that there are lots of offices around it. there is a van inside that tent. and as we understand it, what has been happening is that evidence from the house has been taken into the van with the tent around it. so we really can't see what is being taken out of the house and the evidence that the police are gathering. peter murrell was released without charge just before seven o'clock yesterday

evening. but clearly there is a big evidence gathering operation going on here. it has also been happening out of the snp headquarters in edinburgh. what are the police will need to do is assess all the evidence that they have gathered over the last 2a hours or so. they will put together a reporter summing up will put together a reporter summing up the significance of that evidence, and then pass that up to the public prosecutor in scotland. that is the procurator fiscal. the prosecutor will then make a decision as to what to do with that evidence. whether it is strong enough for a prosecution of peter murrell to go ahead, orwhether, infact, there prosecution of peter murrell to go ahead, or whether, in fact, there is not enough evidence for that. and at that point of the investigation would cease. these are all questions that we don't know the answer to this morning. certainly this is very much a life investigation.- much a life investigation. james, thank you- _ the conservative mp, scott benton, has been suspended from the parliamentary party while he is investigated over secretly filmed footage.

the video, released by the times newspaper, appears to show him describing lobbying services he could potentially provide to a fake company. 0ur political correspondent ione wells joins us now. morning to you. what can you tell us was in the video?— was in the video? morning, naga. well, this video _ was in the video? morning, naga. well, this video appears - was in the video? morning, naga. well, this video appears to - was in the video? morning, naga. well, this video appears to show i well, this video appears to show scott benton meeting undercover reporters posing as gambling investors as part of a sting. the times say they offered mr benton a paid advisory role to this fake company. and in the video, and the extracts that have been released by the times, we can see scott benton offering what appeared to be different services to this false company. they include things like asking questions in parliament on behalf of the company, or even sharing draft leaked versions of an upcoming new law to clamp down on gambling, problem gambling in particular. it is against the mps'

code of conduct to ask questions in the house of commons in exchange for money, and to share any parliamentary documents for any purpose other than parliamentary activity. robert benton said after we had this meeting he suspected what he might about to do was against the rules. it doesn't appear any rules have been broken in practice. but he has referred himself to the standards commissioner. and in the meantime, while that investigation is ongoing, that the conservative party have suspended him.— there will be attempts to alleviate traffic congestion in dover this easter weekend, in a bid to avoid long delays similar to those that built up last friday. the port of dover said it had decided to spread coach traffic across today, tomorrow and saturday, after talks with ferry operators. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin is live for us this morning. we know there have been problems. how are they going to try to fix it?

well, the port says that if any, and everyone else at the port, such as the ferry companies, realise that what happened last weekend was a horrible situation, including for school children and elderly people. some coach passengers ended up waiting 12 hours or more to board those varies across to france for their holidays. bad weather was blamed, they were more coaches than usual. it takes longer now to process passengers through after brexit because every passport has to be stamped. so, the port had a review. and the measures they say they are taking to try to make sure they are taking to try to make sure the next few days do go more smoothly include trying to move some coach travel around so that we don't get a big peak, coach travel around so that we don't geta big peak, orare quite coach travel around so that we don't get a big peak, or are quite a bigger peak on good friday, which is expected to be the busiest of the coming days over this coming long easter weekend. so, some coach

travel is going to be spread out, either two different times on friday, orto either two different times on friday, or to thursday and saturday instead. the port also said it has put a temporary border infrastructure in place. i understand that is a marquee where coach passengers can be processed at the border. it is asking —— also asking people in cars not to turn up early and add to congestion. thank ou ve early and add to congestion. thank you very much- _ at least five people have been killed by the latest tornado to hit the united states. the deaths were reported in missouri, south of st louis. a search and rescue operation has been launched, with crews having to use chainsaws to cut back trees and bushes to reach homes and buildings the us presidentjoe biden has accepted an invitation from king charles to come to the uk on a state visit. he was invited during a recent telephone call, when president biden confirmed he would not be attending the coronation next month. mr biden will begin a four—day trip to northern ireland and the irish republic

be slow to clear the east but it will for most. it will linger across north—east scotland. it will also linger across got —— shetland, where it will be windy. towards the west it will be windy. towards the west it will be windy. towards the west it will brighten up with some showers. showers in parts of northern ireland, but also some sunshine. across the rest of england and wales. behind that word in front we will have some residual cloud they can offer drizzle. through the day we will —— it will brighten up. that will spark off some showers. some will be heavy. you could hear the odd rumble of thunder. you can see they are fairly well scattered. temperatures seven to iii degrees. through this evening and overnight we hang onto some showers for a time. the rain in shetland. then we see a lot of clear skies. light winds as well. that is a recipe for some mist and fog. temperatures fall away. into good friday. we still have a weather front very close to the east coast. that could at times produced drizzle and the odd shower.

out towards the west a lot of dry weather. if you like your weather is sunny, that is what we are looking at today for most of us, with highs of eight carol, thank you. 26 minutes past seven. good morning. we've been hearing this morning that serving met police officers have been diverted from tackling serious crime to investigate internal wrongdoing. it comes after the force was branded as institutionally racist, homophobic and misogynistic in a damning report. we're joined now by leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey. good morning to you. thank you for your time. what do you make of what mark rowley has said about officers now being diverted from serious crime into investigating themselves, effectively? crime into investigating themselves, effectivel ? ., .. crime into investigating themselves, effectivel ? . ,, , effectively? yeah, i think it is the riaht thin effectively? yeah, i think it is the right thing to _ effectively? yeah, i think it is the right thing to do _ effectively? yeah, i think it is the right thing to do because - effectively? yeah, i think it is the right thing to do because the - right thing to do because the vetting and complaints procedure was shown by the case review to be not fit for purpose. we need to make

sure that when we recruit more officers, we need to recruit many more. we are recruiting ones who have not got these awful backgrounds we have seen. it is the right thing to do but it must come along side a big recruitment in more officers. how can it be the right thing to do to have less crime is being investigated? if you take 90 officers out of the serious crime unit, less crimes will be investigated? ii unit, less crimes will be investigated?— unit, less crimes will be investigated? unit, less crimes will be investiuated? , ., ., investigated? if you read the kc review, it was _ investigated? if you read the kc review, it was hugely _ investigated? if you read the kc| review, it was hugely disturbing, and you summarised it a few moments ago. we have to rebuild the public trust in the police. one of the thing the liberal democrats believe in a stronger community policing. if we have more community believes you can build the trust with the local community. that is critical. the reason why the case review needs to be implemented, and to be fair to him, sirmark be implemented, and to be fair to him, sir mark rowley is now doing that, is to do just that. it would

be a more effective fight against crime if we were to rebuild that public trust. crime if we were to rebuild that public trust-— crime if we were to rebuild that ublic trust. ., . ., ., , ., public trust. how much more money do ou think public trust. how much more money do you think should _ public trust. how much more money do you think should be _ public trust. how much more money do you think should be put _ public trust. how much more money do you think should be put into _ public trust. how much more money do you think should be put into the - you think should be put into the police across the board?- you think should be put into the police across the board? well, it's auoin to police across the board? well, it's going to be _ police across the board? well, it's going to be hundreds _ police across the board? well, it's going to be hundreds of— police across the board? well, it's going to be hundreds of millions l police across the board? well, it's| going to be hundreds of millions of pounds. flan going to be hundreds of millions of ounds. ., , ., going to be hundreds of millions of ounds. ., ,, , going to be hundreds of millions of ounds. ., i. , ., ., pounds. can you put a figure on it? the numbers _ pounds. can you put a figure on it? the numbers are _ pounds. can you put a figure on it? the numbers are being _ pounds. can you put a figure on it? the numbers are being bandied - pounds. can you put a figure on it? i the numbers are being bandied about now about what the government is intending to put in in terms of police funding, funding proposed for 2023-24 is £17.2 billion. in police funding, funding proposed for 2023—24 is £17.2 billion. in some ways it is a blunt question but always the question is, would you advocate spending more than sad 17.2 billion, for example?— billion, for example? well, i think olicin: is billion, for example? well, i think policing is a _ billion, for example? well, i think policing is a priority. _ billion, for example? well, i think policing is a priority. when - billion, for example? well, i think policing is a priority. when you - billion, for example? well, i think| policing is a priority. when you see the number of burglaries not being investigated, scandalous. we have done some freedom of information requests which show that last year 45,000 requests which show that last year 115,000 burglaries were not properly investigated. the victims were not even visit it. when you have that level of failure, you really need to

not safe at home. they say crimes are not been properly investigated. when you peel that back and look of what is happening in community after community it is because the conservatives had not lived up to what they promised. they promised they would be 20,000 extra police officers. they have not delivered. they say they are on track to deliver that number?- they say they are on track to deliver that number? they are not on track, deliver that number? they are not on track. actually- _ deliver that number? they are not on track, actually. if— deliver that number? they are not on track, actually. if you _ deliver that number? they are not on track, actually. if you start _ deliver that number? they are not on track, actually. if you start to - track, actually. if you start to analyse it, there are many parts of the country where they will fail. not only failing and police officers, but detectives. this is what we have been arguing in parliament. we need more officers, trained officers who are going to help people, make sure the criminals are caught. criminals are getting away with it under the conservatives.- away with it under the conservatives. . ., , ., ., conservatives. can i ask you about the latest issue _ conservatives. can i ask you about the latest issue that _ conservatives. can i ask you about the latest issue that has _ conservatives. can i ask you about the latest issue that has arisen - conservatives. can i ask you about the latest issue that has arisen in l the latest issue that has arisen in connection with asylum seekers? the plan to create a barge where 500 would be housed. what do you make of that? i would be housed. what do you make of that? ,. would be housed. what do you make of

means they could contribute to a country. let's face it, there are things that need doing that aren't getting done at the moment. aha, getting done at the moment. a common—sense approach. do you feel confident as lib dem leader now that you are personally making a mark? haste you are personally making a mark? we are you are personally making a mark? , are cutting through really well. if you look at the last two years, we have won three parliamentary by—elections in tory heartlands. people said we couldn't win, we did. we won a seat in north shropshire which the tories had held for 200 years. and in east devon, where we overturned the largest majority ever in terms of by—election. the liberal democrats are beating the conservatives in the heartlands. we think across the blue while the liberal democrats can win. and if you look at the local elections from last year, the liberal democrats might more games than any other political party. those elections were in england, scotland and wales. we think we can make gains in may. i am out today in greater manchester, stockport, where i think we can make

some serious gains off the conservatives. yesterday i was in hull, where we are making gains over labour. the liberal democrats are going for it. taste labour. the liberal democrats are going for it— going for it. we are feeling confident. _ going for it. we are feeling confident. thank _ going for it. we are feeling confident. thank you - going for it. we are feeling confident. thank you very i going for it. we are feeling - confident. thank you very much. we heard yesterday how the bowelbabe fund for cancer research has hit more than £11 million. and later on the show we're hearing from deborah's husband sebastian, who's done his first interview since her death. that's at 20 past eight. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria cook. bbc london has been told hundreds of calls reporting allegations of corrupt met police officers have been made by the public to a dedicated hotline. it was set up in november and sees staff work alongside the charity crimestoppers. those leading the hotline hope it provides confidence to the public reporting police behaviour.

so we have had arrests made on the back of the intelligence that's come in. obviously, i don't want to talk about the live matter, but we've seen cases been referred to our domestic abuse and sexual offences team for investigation, and also to our investigators across wider policing when there are other concerns. a bbc london—commissioned poll has found 63 % of people don't have confidence in the met commissioner to "root out" corrupt officers. the survey�*s been carried out by yougov. it's surveyed over 1,000 londoners to gauge public trust in the met. young londoners have been telling us their experiences. i was dressed in all black, riding my bike to the shop for my mum. they went to stop me, asked me a few questions, why i was dressed in all black. where am i going to. honestly, it was kind of scary. the first negative experience i had i was 15. i was waiting for a friend outside a corner shop and a police car pulled up, and one of them hopped out of the car and said i looked suspicious,

what am i doing there? they started questioning me. all i was, i was on my phone. for more on the poll head to the bbc london website and later this morning we'll be putting your questions to the met commissioner. sir mark rowleyjoins eddie nestor on bbc radio london from 10am. thenjoin us for a bbc london special tonight at 6.30 on bbc one. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it is looking really quite promising again as we head through most of the easter bank holiday weekend, lots of dry settled weather and the temperatures will climb. for today some wet weather to get through first, it was raining last night,

that weather front has pushed out to the east but it has left behind it a legacy of cloud and we will be keeping that through much of the morning. then it will tend to brighten up. always the chance of some showers blowing through on a brisk westerly wind. top temperatures 13 and ia a bit later on through the afternoon, perhaps a rumble of thunder with those later showers. overnight tonight, the cloud will clear to leave clearing skies, a chilly start to friday by which time high pressure building, looking dry and settled through saturday and sunday. it will start to feel milder as well. it may not be sunny all the time, quite a lot of cloud especially on saturday but temperatures by easter sunday could be as high as 16 degrees. that's it from us — don't forget to email us any questions you've got for the commisioner — we'll be back in half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. nhs bosses say next week's four day strike byjunior doctors will risk patient safety. the body that represents nhs trusts, says health leaders are worried the duration and timing of the strike which comes after the long easter weekend. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. so we're now going around to our ambulance off—load area where all of the patients that arrive by ambulance are seen. in the emergency department at royal stoke university hospital, preparations are under way for what will be the biggest disruption to nhs services since the series of strikes began in december. hi, how are you getting on? what have we got? so there's just three on the way in. we've got spaces in ambulance triage for all of them if needs be. next week's four day walk—out byjunior doctors who make up around half of the hospital's medical

workforce, many of them with years of experience, means it definitely won't be business as usual. next week strikes after the bank holiday. the ghost rotas are done, they're going to come out. there's extra nursing shifts out as well. so from tuesday, we're all being asked to consider whether we really need to go to hospital. we're here if you need us. so that would be the first thing that i say. and this is the same as we said over covid. if you're unwell and you need help, the nhs will be able to look after you at this time. but you'd like people to think carefully? think carefully, use it carefully, be sensible. it's easter, be sensible with your diy, please, be sensible with your alcohol intake and yeah, just keep yourself safe. senior consultant doctors will be on hand to help out in departments like a&e, but the duration and timing of the strike in the easter holidays means it poses particular challenges. since we've received the dates of the strikes, we've been planning what we're going to do, how we're going to do

it, putting rotas together to try to keep things safe. and the issue of patient safety weighs heavily on the bosses trying to manage the pressures. myjob is to make sure that our patients are kept as safe as possible and to put that mitigation in place. i can say it will be incredibly difficult to do that. we will, of course, do everything that we can to mitigate, put things in place to make it safe. but it will be incredibly difficult. the impact of the strike is causing concern across the health service. the body representing hospital, community, mental health and ambulance trusts has heard from leaders throughout the nhs. yeah, it's busy. we've got three patients at the moment. and it's notjust urgent and emergency care that's a worry. there are fears too about the effect on the growing number of patients who now face delays to planned surgery. it's impossible to say that there won't be harm to individual patients, particularly those that have been cancelled more than once over

the last few months. so... i think like everyone we want people that can to do everything they possibly can to avert the strikes next week. there is still time for the strike to be called off. hi, site manager, can i help? but at present that seems unlikely. the nhs and patients are braced for what could be a tough week. dominic hughes, bbc news, stoke. to talk more about this, we'rejoined by sirjulian hartley, the chief executive at nhs providers. good morning to you. good morning. i 'ust heard good morning to you. good morning. i just heard someone _ good morning to you. good morning. i just heard someone in _ good morning to you. good morning. i just heard someone in that _ good morning to you. good morning. i just heard someone in that report - good morning to you. good morning. i just heard someone in that report to i just heard someone in that report to say that it's impossible to say that there will not be harm to individual patients. because of these strikes. how on earth has got to this point? well, i think you have heard in the piece the level of concern we are hearing, deep concern across the nhs

and this isn'tjust hospitals, its mental health, community services. although trusts are absolutely prioritising patient safety, the challenge particularly given the large number of nhs staff that will be on leave, given that they need family time, to take a well—deserved break after one of the toughest winter is the nhs has had, means that staff will be stretched thinly in terms of supporting the work that junior doctors otherwise would have done. and of coursejunior doctors are a vital part of the nhs workforce, accounting for around half of doctors. last time we saw thejunior half of doctors. last time we saw the junior doctors action, we saw 175,000 patient appointments postponed. this time round with it being four days, after a bank holiday, we expect that to be even greater. holiday, we expect that to be even creater. ., , ., , greater. ok, the easter holidays, we heard concerned _ greater. ok, the easter holidays, we heard concerned the _ greater. ok, the easter holidays, we heard concerned the pupil— greater. ok, the easter holidays, we heard concerned the pupil out - greater. ok, the easter holidays, we heard concerned the pupil out and i heard concerned the pupil out and

should absolutely use the nhs as they would normally do. what we often see at easter because of the timing of it, because of some of the points that were made in the piece about people being out and about and so on, is that eds are very busy in this period so we are asking people to be careful. i this period so we are asking people to be careful-— to be careful. i asked you at the beaiannin to be careful. i asked you at the beginning how _ to be careful. i asked you at the beginning how got _ to be careful. i asked you at the beginning how got to _ to be careful. i asked you at the beginning how got to this - to be careful. i asked you at thej beginning how got to this point, to be careful. i asked you at the - beginning how got to this point, we are at this point, what needs change for the environment to be better, the enthusiasm and treatment to be improved? aha, the enthusiasm and treatment to be im-roved? . _, , ., , improved? a couple of things, firstl we improved? a couple of things, firstly we desperately - improved? a couple of things, firstly we desperately need - improved? a couple of things, i firstly we desperately need talks between the bma and the government to resolve this issue. there is still time at the 11th hour to avert next week's action. in the medium term, we need the nhs long workforce plan which has been developed, which provides some of the answers to how we recruit, retain key staff and

doctors in particular, over the course of the coming months and years. we want to see that published and backed up with the funding that it needs in order to provide some of the solutions to the workforce challenges that the nhs is currently facing. because of course the nhs is all about its staff. i have worked with fantastic stuff in my career in the nhs and it is all about the teamwork, the togetherness, delivering for patients. while we are in this period of industrial action, it is putting that under this strain. so we must see this resolved quickly and then plans for the workforce over the coming months and he has. 5h the workforce over the coming months and he has. ,, . ., ., , and he has. sirjulian hartley, chief executive _ and he has. sirjulian hartley, chief executive of _ and he has. sirjulian hartley, chief executive of nhs - and he has. sirjulian hartley, i chief executive of nhs providers, thank you forjoining us. for all the latest updates on the strike action and how it affects you visit the bbc news website. we like being updated on things,

what are you going to update us on? last night's match between west ham and newcastle didn't go well for west ham. you can see the dejection en declan rice's face there. we are getting to the stage of the season where it is the scramble to survive, squeaky bum time, if you like. not many matches left! there have been changes. there have been changes. there have been 13 changes to football managers in the premier league so far this season, many of them in an attempt for clubs to avoid relegation. and west ham are just above the drop zone on points difference, so manager david moyes is feeling the pressure after they were beaten 5—1 by newcastle at the london stadium. the visitors scored two goals in the first 15 minutes, but it was the fourth that'll be remembered. this dreadful mistake by keeper lukasz fabianski gifted alexander isak the goal. the result means west ham are only just out of the relegation zone — on goal difference. marcus rashford's remarkable season

continues as he scored the winner to help united beat brentford 1—0 at old trafford. the win moves united back into the top four, with rashford's 15th goal of the season in the first half. it's a victory that lifts them above tottenham in the race for champions league places. with the women's world cup just around the corner, england manager serena weigman says she'll be watching her players closely when they take on brazil later tonight. the match is a sell out at wembley and is one of two friendlies which will be played before the tournament, scheduled to start in four months' time. there's plenty of competition for places in england's world cup squad, but attention is firmly focused on tonight. a record number of tickets have been sold for the friendly between northern ireland and wales in cardiff tonight. for wales, it's a chance to get revenge over the northern ireland team that pipped them to euro 2022 qualification. they're without striker kayleigh green who's injured. for northern ireland, it's their first match under interim boss andy waterworth. as a group of staff and players, we have completely

transformed the game here. i think us qualifying for the euros was massive and that legacy now, we have to keep pushing on and we have the backing of the association. there is a lot of work making things better. so, you know, we will keep pushing on and we will keep growing up and working hard. so much anticipation ahead of the 87th masters which begins later today in augusta in the united states. the first golf major of the year. competition at the tournment is expected to be fierce with golfers from two rival tours, the pga and the saudi backed liv tour, taking part. there's lots of support for rory mcilroy, who's hoping to win his first green jacket — and complete the career grand slam. he came second last year so he might do it this year? you he came second last year so he might do it this year?— do it this year? you would love to see it. if do it this year? you would love to see it- if you _ do it this year? you would love to see it. if you ask _ do it this year? you would love to see it. if you ask any _ do it this year? you would love to see it. if you ask any of _ do it this year? you would love to see it. if you ask any of those - see it. if you ask any of those professional golfers if they are going to win, if they can win, they will say yes. going to win, if they can win, they

well, it may be because they get paid for the rehearsals, which are treated as parade. 61 years later, the flowers band in full rehearsal. currently the sixth best band in the world, according to the rankings, and ironically formed after the disbandment of the royal gloucestershire hussars. the band is thriving. but after the pandemic, others folded, while some bands lost huge numbers of musicians for very modern reasons. these days, children have all sorts of distractions, and they want instant gratification. they want to turn on a computer game and be an expert on a guitar or something like that or a game like that. so i think it's much harder work to take up a musical instrument and to stick with it and to persevere with it because the results take a long time to master. musicians say that brass bands are often misunderstood and the reality, and what keeps

people playing, is very different. playing some of the best venues in the country, you know, we play the albert hall every year, sage gateshead, symphony hall in birmingham, travelling abroad, france, switzerland and without being in a band i wouldn't have done those things, had those opportunities. the thing done already by brass bands england is on a mission to show young people that brass is cool again. here at nailsworth primary school, one of hundreds of workshops being held across the country. the idea to nurture links between primary schools and local brass bands, and it appears to be paying off. we had the youth champs up in stockport and there were 38 bands there, over a thousand young musicians playing. so i think at that end of the scale, things are looking really healthy and hopefully the work

that we are doing is helping that increase because you can't have the top end without the bottom. and it seems thatjust having a go has piqued a bit of interest. i was surprised because i thought we would just do like maybe classical orjazz or something, but we got to do a lot of different music genres. but you'll have another go? yeah! i thought it was going to be just sat down and he'd just teach us. but he made it really fun, and i thought that really made me want to come. thanks to workshops like this, youth bands are doing well and it's hoped that the young musicians will keep up their interest and move into the community and main competition bands to ensure they have a thriving and long term future. steve nibbs, bbc news nailsworth. yeah! what about that? give yourselves a big cheer. we're joined now by alex parker from brass band england and some young musicians, matthew, daniel and millie.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. trying to clean up the met — some officers are moved away from investigating serious crime and terrorism in order to root out unsuitable staff. i think over the next two or three years we're going to be removing hundreds of people from this

organisation who shouldn't be here. nicola sturgeon's husband peter murrell has been been released without charge as police continue an investigation into the snp's finances. lam out i am out of the port of dover where many coach passengers got stuck in long queues last weekend. the porter says there is a plan to make sure things run smoothly over the next few days. the husband of dame deborahjames speaks for the first time about her legacy, after she raised more than £11 million for cancer research. i think she had done everything that she could have hoped to achieve. she was surrounded by every one that loved her. the end of the road for e—scooters? as paris becomes the latest city to ban them after safety concerns, what will it mean for their future here in the uk? can mcilroy battle through the storm clouds at augusta? the northern irishman says he believes this will be the year he completes a career grand slam

by winning the masters. good morning. for most of us this bank holiday weekend we are looking at a lot of dry weather until monday. today we have got rain to clear the four correct michael bonney for north east. a day of sunshine and showers. heavy and thundery. good morning. it's thursday, the 6th april. our top story. the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, has said there are hundreds of officers serving in the force who should not be there. it comes after an update on a review, which was launched following the murder of sarah everard by a serving officer, and the jailing of former officer david carrick, for a series of violent offences against women. helena wilkinson reports. david carrick, the serving police officer who committed violent and degrading sexual offences against a dozen women over nearly two decades.

the country's biggest police force, the metropolitan police, in which he served, missed many opportunities to stop him. injanuary, the force promised to root out rogue officers. it began a review looking at all completed sexual offence, or domestic abuse cases, made against officers and staff in the ten years up until april last year, concerning individuals who weren't dismissed at the time. today, an update from the met on that review. of the more than 1,000 individuals reinvestigated, it's concluded that 196 face urgent risk assessments or vetting reviews. 689 will undergo a new assessment to pursue new or missed lines of inquiry. and 246 will face no formal action. the review determined correct action

was taken at the time. all the cases will also be reassessed by an independent panel of experts. criminal convictions of serving officers are also being looked into. we have 161 officers with criminal convictions. the majority of those, we knew about the criminal conviction before theyjoined policing. and in line with national vetting standards, they were assessed and it was felt appropriate for them to join. it may be a very minor conviction ten or 15 years before theyjoin the police, and they've now got a good work history. but frankly, having looked at them, some of them concern me that i think we shouldn't have let them in. national vetting standards are quite permissive in giving a range of interpretation. we're looking here at putting some tougher standards in where, unless you've got the most minor historic conviction, you're not you're not going to be joining the police. i think over the next two or three years, we're going to be removing hundreds of people from this organisation who shouldn't be here. last month, a major review branded the met institutionally sexist, racist and homophobic.

the review, by baroness casey, highlighted a boys club culture across the organisation. the met commissioner says over the next two or three years the force will remove hundreds of people from the organisation who shouldn't be working for it. there is still much work to be done. restoring public confidence will also take time. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the former snp chief executive peter murrell, who's also the husband of nicola sturgeon, has been released without charge by police, after he was arrested yesterday as part of an investigation into the party's finances. our reporterjames shaw joins us now from outside the couple's house in glasgow. james, good morning. so, isuppose the question is, what happens next? yes. well, ithink

the question is, what happens next? yes. well, i think the picture you can see behind me, the scene behind me, tells its own story. that is a police evidence tent, which is obscuring the front of the house. inside that tent is a van which arrived at about seven o'clock this morning. occasionally you see the curtains twitching in what looks like the front bedroom, and the garage door opening and closing. there are officers inside the house. and it looks as though that evidence gathering operation is continuing really in full force this morning. four police vans around the house as well as the one inside of the tent. so, a lot of evidence being gathered. that was also the case at the snp headquarters in edinburgh yesterday. we saw big crates being taken out by the police throughout the day. they have a lot of evidence to sift through to assess. they will do that in the coming days, possibly weeks. and when they have done that they will produce a report which goes to the public prosecutor, the

procurator fiscal in scotland. and the fiscal will make a decision as to what to do with that evidence, whether there is enough for a prosecution of peter murrell to go ahead, orwhether prosecution of peter murrell to go ahead, or whether there is simply not enough evidence for that to happen. so, a lot of activity around the home of nicola sturgeon and peter murrell this morning. we don't think they are at home at the moment. there is no indication of that. but this investigation clearly does have a long way to go. james, thank yon — the conservative mp, scott benton, has been suspended from the parliamentary party while he is investigated over secretly filmed footage. the video, released by the times newspaper, appears to show him describing lobbying services he could potentially provide to a fake company. our political correspondent lone wells joins us now. just explained to us, what was in

this footage?— this footage? well, this footage shows some _ this footage? well, this footage shows some undercover- this footage? well, this footage i shows some undercover reporters this footage? well, this footage - shows some undercover reporters from the times newspaper who are posing as gambling investors as part of a sting operation, speaking to the mp scott benton. the times say they were offering scott benton a paid advisory role to this fake company. and in the video we see scott benton essentially offering different kinds of services that he claims he might be able to offer the company, including things like asking questions in parliament on their behalf, but also leaking a policy document outlining what the government's expected new plans are to try to toughen up restrictions on gambling and tackle problem gambling. it is against the mps' code of conduct to be paid to ask questions in parliament. it is also against the code of conduct to leak any policy document and use them for

anything other than parliamentary activities. scott benton said after this footage was released that after the encounter he thought what he'd been asked to do might not be in the rules and didn't have any further contact with the company. it does appear no rules were broken in practice. but he has referred themselves to the standards commissioner and has been suspended as a conservative mp while the investigation is ongoing. there will he attempts to alleviate traffic congestion in dover this easter weekend, in a bid to avoid long delays similar to those that built up last friday. the port of dover said it had decided to spread coach traffic across today, tomorrow and saturday, after talks with ferry operators. our transport correspondent katy austin is live for us this morning. morning to you. it is all very well trying to get on top of the problem. travellers want is for the problem to be got on top of?— to be got on top of? well, that's riuht. to be got on top of? well, that's right- last _ to be got on top of? well, that's right. last weekend _ to be got on top of? well, that's right. last weekend of _ to be got on top of? well, that's right. last weekend of the - to be got on top of? well, that's right. last weekend of the port i to be got on top of? well, that's i right. last weekend of the port and

everyone involved have admitted it was a horrible situation, in their words, particularly foreign and elderly people trying to get away on their holidays. they say it is a priority to make sure things do go more smoothly in the next couple of days. the really long delays, particularly for coach passengers, some people saying they waited more than 12 hours, they were put down to various things, including bad weather, more coaches than expected. and itjust takes longer to process people on the border. there are more checks after brexit. your passport has be stamped. there has been a review ahead of what is expected to be a really busy few days, although the port does say that actually 30% fewer coaches are expected. nonetheless, what they have tried to do is reduce the number of coaches travelling tomorrow on good friday, and spread them out, either moving them to different times on the same day, or moving some two today and saturday instead. other measures include additional border control

infrastructure, basically a big marquee to provide more space due process coach passengers. and they say there will be a full contingent of the french border police coming over, even though they're expecting fewer coaches. they are also asking car drivers not to come early. the porter says there is a plan in place to try to make sure things do run more smoothly. but people will be waiting to see that those problems we saw last weekend don't happen again. we saw last weekend don't happen aaain. ., ~' ,, we saw last weekend don't happen aaain. ., ~' , we saw last weekend don't happen aaain. ., , . we saw last weekend don't happen aaain. . , . ., , again. thank you very much. katy austin. hundreds of people with inherited breast or prostate cancer could now benefit from a new drug treatment on the nhs in england and wales. it's designed to treat specific cancers linked to faulty versions of genes. cancer experts hailed the decision as momentous, while healthcare body nice said it would improve quality of life. at least five people have been killed by the latest tornado to hit the united states. the deaths were reported in missouri, south of st louis.

a search and rescue operation has been launched, with crews having to use chainsaws to cut back trees and bushes to reach homes and buildings. the us presidentjoe biden has accepted an invitation from king charles to come to the uk on a state visit. he was invited during a recent telephone call, when president biden confirmed he would not be attending the coronation next month. mr biden will begin a four—day trip to northern ireland and the irish republic in belfast next week to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. a siren which will sound on smartphones across the uk to test a new public warning system has been rescheduled, to avoid going off during the fa cup semi—final. siren sounds this is what it will sound like. the test will take place on sunday the 23rd of april, at the the earlier time of 3pm, so it won't alarm thousands of football fans at wembley stadium. in future it will be used by the government to warn of extreme

weather and terror attacks. something that has been used in many other countries around the world. yes, a tornado alert. and also wildfires. i think they use it for areas affected by wildfires. 13 minutes passed out. let's look at the weather. none of that happening, carol, in predicting? not this weekend! good morning. this morning it is a much milder start to the day than it was yesterday. in the day than it was yesterday. in the south—east temperatures and high single figures. today it is going to be a day of sunshine and showers. that is after we lose this rain, which has been steadily moving from the west to the east through the early hours of today. there are a fair few showers following behind. the cloud and rain put into the north sea but linger across the far north—east. showers follow on. some

of them through the course of the day anywhere from kent, east anglia, heading towards lincolnshire, could be heavy and hungry. we will also see some showers in wales, north—west england, a few in northern ireland and a few in scotland. but behind the weather front producing the rain what we haveis front producing the rain what we have is a ridge of high pressure. we are looking at a mixture of bright spells, meaning more cloud at times, some sunshine, and also, those showers. temperatures today not as high as yesterday. yesterday scotland had its highest temperature of the year so far, 17 in lossiemouth. as we head on through the evening and overnight we are heading —— hanging onto some showers in the east. the rain lingering. windy in shetland. light winds. we could see pockets of mist and fog. with low temperatures we are at frost. it also means tomorrow, good friday, we are looking at a lot of dry weather, that of sunshine, but close to this east coast we will hang on to a fair bit of cloud. that

cloud will be thick enough to produce drizzle or the odd shower. 15 or 16 degrees tomorrow. saturday and sunday, variable cloud with light rain coming in across northern ireland. as we head into easter monday, it is looking like it is going to be wet. 0k, going to be wet. ok, well, that's clear! see you later. quarter past eight. it was revealed yesterday that the fund set—up by dame deborahjames the month before her death, has so far raised £11.3 million for cancer research. there will be no one prouder than deborah's husband sebastian, who's spoken about her legacy for the first time since she died, with our reporter graham satchell. so, this is the bowelbabe fund page and the amazing £11.3 million. deborahjames' husband sebastian and their two children are blown away by the amount of money people

have donated to the bowelbabe fund. it's unbelievable, to be honest. it's just amazing to think like, well, first of all the legacy that it is. and second of all, the amount that could be achieved for this 11 million isjust, i think, beyond what anyone could realise at this point. it's actually mind blowing. i remember having a conversation, like, imagine if we hit 250,000, that would be incredible. we would be so overjoyed. then we hit a million. everybody was shocked. how did we raise that money? now it is 11 million. it is crazy. it's insane. honestly, thank you to everyone. it's crazy. dame deborah set up the fund in the final few weeks of her life. she was at her mum and dads house surrounded by family. even at this late stage she was determined to try and live every last moment.

it was just such a difficult, difficult time. it's difficult to articulate how hard it really was. and i remember there was the chelsea flower show, the opening of the chelsea flower show that night. obviously, deborah had had the rose named after her. that was going to be part of the chelsea flower show. sophie raworth reached out and basically said, if there's anything i can do to help, i am here for you. you know, she got fully dressed up. she turned up. it was beautiful. she had an amazing smile. i didn't know what to expect. we pushed her around the corner. there was the whole team from the chelsea flower show there with a bottle of champagne. there was sophie and people from the bbc. it was just — it is gave a kind of invigorating spark of energy in an incredibly difficult time.

deborah was always like that. she wanted to look forward to something. she wanted to have something to look forward to throughout her whole life. and she kept doing it until the very end. there is one picture that i have which is of her at a restaurant that we went to, and herjust looking out at the countryside. and just with this kind of look of pure joy and happiness on herface. that close to the end? yeah, that close to the end, which is amazing. when deborahjames was diagnosed with bowel cancer she started sharing her story on social media. she was honest about the treatment she was having. but there was always joy and dancing, especially with her daughter.

we'd dance every second. it was good to like help with stuff because if we didn't think about it we'd just dance. so like, we used to sit in there and we'd just dance. if she had chemo and she felt bad that day, we would just get up and dance because it would help to stop thinking about things. deborah kept posting right until the end untiljust a few days before her death. the reality is, it's difficult to say, but i think she died in probably one of the best ways that you could hope to die with this terrible disease. she died surrounded by her mother, herfather, hersister, me, all of us, you know, holding her hands. like, you know, being there for her. and it was, as much as it can be,

and it's the first time i have ever seen someone pass away, there was i think a peace to it. i think she had done everything that she could have hoped to achieve. she was surrounded by everyone that loved her. what else can you hope for, really? how was your day? seb has not spoken publicly since his wife died last year. he has been spending time with his children and working out how the bowelbabe fund should be spent. he says he is determined to make sure no other family has to go through what they've been through. there is that strong underlying driver of, let's prevent it, let's do everything we possibly can, be it through funding research, be it through awareness, be it through this interview. i'm not somebody who is a particularly public person. i'm much more on the private side.

but this is important, that we kind of remind people to look after themselves, to check out for — to check their poo, as deborah would always say. hopefully all the charities working together, with more public awareness, will be able to maybe not defeat bowel cancer, but to at least change the odds that people have. eloise and hugo are now 13 and 15. losing their mother at such a young age has been devastating. but seb says they are all supporting each other the best they can. i remember i said the other day, if we can get through this together, i think we can get through everything. and that's kind of stuck with us. and so we're a pretty strong unit, i like to think.

and, you know, when we are together we feel a little bit, not invincible, but we definitely have got each other's back. dame deborah always talked about having rebellious hope. she told her family at the end to enjoy life, to make the most of every moment. i remember, she always used to say, if it ever rains, just go out and feel the rain on your face, because you are so lucky and privileged to be alive and that moment in time, to be a functioning individual, that you can walk up into your garden, or wherever it may be, turn your face to the sky and feel rain on your face. and i think it's, you know, there will be a lot of people who understand what that means in terms of how lucky we are just to live life on a day—to—day basis. so many of us take it for granted, but it is

really truly unique and special. and that is what she realised. the same message that she gave everyone was the same message she gave me, which isjust, rebellious hope, i think, it's really deep but it means a lot. what does it mean to you? it means, regardless of anything, there is always something to keep you going. you always push through and there will always be a rainbow on the other side. deborah's final post on social media is the front page of the bowelbabe website. it has become something of a mantra for her whole family. find a life worth enjoying, take risks, love deeply, have no regrets. and always, always have rebellious hope. and finally, check your poo,

you could just save your life. it is very inspiring. hugo, eloise, lovely hearing from them and what they have taken from their mum's story and those positive messages. sebastian, thank you for sharing your story. 2a minutes passed out. —— eight. times are tough for many people and money is tight, but one young boy is spending all his pocket money in the hope of putting a smile on a stranger's face. nine—year—old ewan has been handing out random bouquets of flowers in his hometown of guiseley in west yorkshire. jacob tomlinson went to meet him. excuse me. do you want some flowers for free? i'm trying to make people smile, and i spent them with my own pocket money. is that really so? that's really kind of weird, especially because i had just been to a funeral. meet ewan, the guiseley good samaritan, who's been handing out

free flowers to passersby in his local community as a random act of kindness. there's like, there's a lot of people who feel kind of sad. i've never made so many people smile like that before. nine—year—old ewan first came up with the idea when he went into his local supermarket on mother's day and noticed lots of flowers for sale. so he decided with his own pocket money to buy some of those flowers, but not to give to his family, to give to complete strangers, all because he wants to make people smile. i was a bit surprised. i said to him, you know, what do you want to do with the flowers? would you like to give them to grandma, to your sister? and he said, no, i'd like to give them to people who are passing by who look like they might need to smile. and i was just really taken aback. i was so proud. would you like any flowers for free? are you sure? yeah. i'm giving them out to people for my own pocket money. oh, that's amazing. oh, thank you very much. that's very kind of you.

we've got home. somebody had posted on social media that she was the lady who she received the flowers and she put that she was so overwhelmed about how kind he was and what a generous thing to do. and then our local florist, they commented and said, come in tomorrow and you can have some bunches of flowers on us. that week there was 28 people who went away with with flowers. i felt happy afterwards because i've made someone's day. and so i really wanted to do it all to make people smile more. with a simple gesture, clearly making such a big difference, ewan wants to spread an important message. just spread kindness and just be kind to people. in ewan's case, the saying rings true. no acts of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. jacob tomlinson, bbc news. we've been hearing some

of your stories about random acts of kindness today. a random act of kindness can change someone's day completely. one moment. sarah in suffolk said she was working on a cruise line when a young boy lost a red car he'd bought in costa rica. he was so upset she told his mum she was going back there on the next cruise and she bought and sent a replacement car to him. lyz has been in touch to say she was eating in a restaurant in her hometown when two french tourists started speaking to her as they ate. she paid for their meal when she left, and around an hour later they turned up to her work with a bunch of flowers for her. alison from maidstone makes little crochet pieces and leaves them around the community for people to find when they're walking.

sadly, we don't have the picture. i feel like we need that. it is happening, apparently. keep sending them in. sending your random acts of kindness. use your camera to send in some pictures as well. in some ways it is the really small things that are the best ones. sometimes it is just the tiniest things. absolutely. ithink sometimes it is just the tiniest things. absolutely. i think one of the nicest acts of kindness is making somebody a cup of tea. i think that is a really nice thing. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with rav and kimberley. how are you going to be kind this

they're being called ghost children and what's being done to help the parents of school refusers who are, in some cases, being hit with hefty fines. and we're checking in with 5 live presenter, nicky campbell. he tells us how his new podcast found him healing old wounds by talking to the daughter of his childhood abuser. it's a tough chat, but so inspiring. see you at 9:15. the sun shining through the studio window looks nice. lovely. have a good day. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria cook. bbc london has been told hundreds of calls reporting allegations of corrupt met police officers have been made by the public to a dedicated hotline. it was set up in november and sees staff work alongside the charity crimestoppers.

those leading the hotline hope it provides confidence to the public reporting police behaviour. so we have had arrests made on the back of the intelligence that's come in. obviously, i don't want to talk about the live matter, but we've seen cases been referred to our domestic abuse and sexual offences team for investigation, and also to our investigators across wider policing when there are other concerns. a bbc london—commissioned poll has found 63 % of people don't have confidence in the met commissioner to "root out" corrupt officers. the survey�*s been carried out by yougov. it's surveyed over 1,000 londoners to gauge public trust in the met. young londoners have been telling us their experiences. i was dressed in all black, riding my bike to the shop for my mum. they went to stop me, asked me a few questions, why i was dressed in all black. where am i going to. honestly, it was kind of scary. the first negative experience i had i was 15. i was waiting for a friend outside a corner shop

and a police car pulled up, and one of them hopped out of the car and said i looked suspicious, what am i doing there? they started questioning me. all i was, i was on my phone. for more on the poll head to the bbc london website and later this morning we'll be putting your questions to the met commissioner. sir mark rowleyjoins eddie nestor on bbc radio london from 10am. thenjoin us for a bbc london special tonight at 6.30 on bbc one. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are a few things to tell you about, if you look there, there are minor delays on a few lines, and there are severe delays on the overground. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it is looking really quite promising again as we head through most of the easter bank holiday weekend, lots of dry settled weather and the temperatures will climb. for today some wet weather to get through first, it was raining last night,

that weather front has pushed out to the east but it has left behind it a legacy of cloud and we will be keeping that through much of the morning. then it will tend to brighten up. always the chance of some showers blowing through on a brisk westerly wind. top temperatures 13 and 1a a bit later on through the afternoon, perhaps a rumble of thunder with those later showers. overnight tonight, the cloud will clear to leave clearing skies, a chilly start to friday by which time high pressure building, looking dry and settled through saturday and sunday. it will start to feel milder as well. it may not be sunny all the time, quite a lot of cloud especially on saturday but temperatures by easter sunday could be as high as 16 degrees. that's it from us for now. don't forget to email us any questions you've got for the commisioner. we'll be back in half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, has said there are hundreds of officers serving in the force who should not be there. it follows an investigation into more than a thousand staff, which was launched after serving officers were convicted of murder and rape. our reporterjayne mccubbin has spoken to one woman who was sexually assaulted by a met policeman. she waived her right to anonymity to help others come forward. how did anthony smith view his uniform? i think he was a good police officer in many respects. he received commendations, yet by putting that uniform on, by having that warrant card, it enabled him to carry out these acts thinking he was untouchable. where would i go to if i can't go

to, i can't go to the police? he is the police. last august, former met police officer anthony smith was jailed for 2h years for the rape and sexual assault of three young girls. the youngest was 13 years old. he had started to groom liz when she was 15. today she had taken the brave and unusual step of waving her anonymity for two reasons, to be a beacon for other survivors who might not have the courage to report their abuse, and to encourage the met to remain vigilant to those who abuse the authority and trust that comes with the uniform. he groomed you, and he knew you were an ideal person to groom because of your life experience at that point. yeah. i had grown up with a single parent family. my mum had significant mental health issues, and when i was 13, i was abused

by the school bus driver. i was so at risk back then, and i was taken advantage of not once, but twice. there was no one else to go to. there was no one else to speak to. and he was a member of the met police. smith's offences began 30 years ago. it took until 2020 for women to speak to the police. today, liz works for the police, primarily working with young people to help them have a voice. this is really unusualfor somebody to waive their anonymity, it doesn't happen all the time but it's so important to you. yeah, absolutely. there is this culture that we don't talk about it, and you have been harmed, and you don't get the support that you need and you don't get the support around you that enables you to report that to the police. people that are going through this need to hear and see that someone has been through this and they have

come out the other side. when i was young and going through all this, if i would have seen campaigns or seen things on tv, maybe i would have spoken up at the time. these words are from liz's victim statement. "you were abusing your position of trust, making me feel powerless, guilty and ashamed of what i was being made to do, feelings of guilt, shame and anxiety are my norm and i struggle to fight this." after the trial, me and my friend who were there came down to the beach here. i lined up 13 stones, each one for each charge. and i threw them one by one into the sea to mark the closure and the triumph of having a really great outcome. it was a way to express how i was feeling which was very free and not full of that shame any more. let it go.

this was recorded on her way home from court after smith was sentenced. an attempt by the former met officer to launch an appeal against the length of his sentence has just been rejected. # it's a new life for. me, it's a new dawn. what is your name, what is your badge number? no more tinkering around the edges, tinkering around the edges of systemic violence, no more! confidence in the met has never been lower. in january, the force announced plans to recheck more than 1000 officers and staff who had been accused of sexual and domestic violence over the last ten years. today, commissioner sir mark rowley admits only one in five of those internal investigations resulted in the correct action, and almost 200 individuals require an urgent risk assessment to decide if they should remain in the force.

it was also revealed there are currently three serving officers for with convictions for sexual offences. can the people of london have faith in the met to police itself, and protect women and girls? i think the majority of people who work within the police, whether that is in the met or other forces, are good people. and i have had that experience myself through my own case. i think if the public can see that people are being sacked or they are held to account what they have done, we can move that forward but it is a huge task to undertake. but the public need to see that that is being done. in 2004, smith was convicted of gross indecency with a child in an unrelated matter. he resigned from the force and never faced disciplinary action. today, liz speaks for every victim yet to find their voice.

and to every officer thinking of abusing their unique position of trust. if we don't show it to people and say that the victims are speaking up and they are calling this out, they are going to continue to do that. and not every victim will feel the strength and have the strength to come forward and speak about it in a public forum. but i do and i wanted to be that person that someone can look at and think, i can do this too. i'll get upset! it's not your shame to carry. absolutely not. if we talk about it, we can make a difference. if we pretend it doesn't happen, nothing is ever going to change. of course, our thanks to liz for talking to jane, waiving her right

to anonymity, the intention being that she will encourage others to come forward if they have experienced anything similar. if any of those issues affect you, you can go to the bbc website where the action line is there. you can have a list of organisations there that can help. list of organisations there that can hel. ., . ., list of organisations there that can hel. ., ., ., ., ,. list of organisations there that can hel. ., ., ., ., , . ., help. you have got a picture that tells a story. _ help. you have got a picture that tells a story, jane? _ help. you have got a picture that tells a story, jane? doesn't - help. you have got a picture that tells a story, jane? doesn't it - tells a story, jane? doesn't it 'ust, so tells a story, jane? doesn't it just. so tight _ tells a story, jane? doesn't it just, so tight at _ tells a story, jane? doesn't it just, so tight at the _ tells a story, jane? doesn't it just, so tight at the bottom i tells a story, jane? doesn't it| just, so tight at the bottom of tells a story, jane? doesn't it - just, so tight at the bottom of the premier league at the moment. not much difference between numerous teams and west ham are down there in the mix hoping to avoid relegation this season. last nights results did not help their cause at all. it all points to the man at the top. there have been 13 changes to football managers in the premier league so far this season, many of them in an attempt for clubs to avoid relegation. and west ham are just above the drop zone on points difference, so manager david moyes may be feeling the pressure after they were beaten 5—1 by newcastle at the london stadium. the visitors scored two goals in the first 15 minutes,

but it was the fourth that'll be remembered. this dreadful mistake by keeper lukasz fabianski gifted alexander isak the goal. the result means west ham are only just out of the relegation zone — on goal difference. marcus rashford's remarkable season continues as he scored the winner to help united beatbrentford1—o at old trafford. the win moves united back into the top four, with rashford's15th goal of the season in the first half. it's a victory that lifts them above tottenham in the race for champions league places. with the women's world cup just around the corner, england manager serena weigman says she'll be watching her players closely when they take on brazil later tonight. the match is a sell out at wembley and is one of two friendlies, which will be played before the tournament, scheduled to start in four months' time. there's plenty of competition for places in england's world cup squad, but attention is firmly focused on tonight. now, as is tradition, april showers have started here in britain, and so, country cricket is due to get under way.

the much awaited county championship starts later with yorkshire playing leicestershire at headingley. defending champions surrey will be tough to beat this season, while hampshire are hoping for their first title in 50 years, but lancashire have recruited well, so they'll be ones to watch. this year, teams are allowed to sign four overseas players, and two can play in any given game. there are just a few hours to go until the masters starts at augusta in america, golf�*s first major of the year. and competition is fiercer than ever before, with golfers from the two rival tours, the pga and the saudi—backed liv tour, taking part. but aside from that, there's just one name on everyone's lips. rory mcilroy. can he do the grand slam? andy swiss reports. so could this finally be his year? all eyes on rory mcilroy back for another shot at masters glory. during his stellar career, he's won every other major title,

including the open, back in 2014. the masters, though, has always eluded him. but after practising with tiger woods, last year's runner up is hoping to be this year's champion. it would be a dream come true, a lifelong achievement, something that i've been striving for for 25 years, basically since i knew i was going to be a professional golfer. but if it were to happen this week or in another year down the line, it would certainly be worth the wait. his popularity here is plain to see. even many american fans are tipping him to win. how do you think rory's going to do this year? he's got a chance. he really does. he's up there this year. i think he could do it. i'd like to see rory pull one out. so i think it's rory's time. i would like to see rory win, too. not because this is a bbc deal, but i would like to see rory win. now augusta awaits for what is golf�*s ultimate challenge. well, for the next four days,

this famous course will be the centre of the sporting world. the weather forecast isn't great with rain and thunderstorms expected, but drama is guaranteed. there are some intriguing subplots. 18 players from the breakaway liv golf league, including brooks koepka and sergio garcia, are taking part, which could create a little tension. but what every player will be hoping for is a bit of this. in yesterday's traditional eve of the masters par three contest, ireland's seamus power hit a hole in one, and then on the very next hole he only went and did it again. what are the chances? how the others would now love some of that masters magic. andy swiss, bbc news, augusta. how incredible, power by name, power by nature, look at the back spent on that. ~ ., , ., ., ., by nature, look at the back spent on that. ~ ., i. ., ., by nature, look at the back spent on that. ~ ., ., ., ., that. what did you want to say about the gulf, that. what did you want to say about the gulf. you — that. what did you want to say about the gulf, you said _ that. what did you want to say about the gulf, you said you _ that. what did you want to say about the gulf, you said you weren't - that. what did you want to say about

and in cities across the country. but not everyone is a fan — people who use them say they're convenient and reduce the number of cars on the road, critics say they are unsafe and a nuisance. in england they are legal on public roads as long as you hire from one of the rental pilot schemes in cities including london, manchester, bristol and liverpool. each scheme has its own rules, but you need to have a full or provisional uk driving licence and many places insist you must be 18 as well. and while it is legal to buy and own an e—scooter, it's still illegal to ride your own vehicle on public roads. you can only do that on private land. the government says it wants to create a new vehicle category to govern the use of e—scooters but full details of the legislation have yet to be published. and a pilot scheme in birmingham was paused last month amid safety concerns after two incidents with underage riders including the death of a 12—year—old boy. so what do members of the public think? we've been asking people in salford.

it is cheaper than the buses because i can use the passes for three days as well and then i don't have to wait for the public transport. so it is convenient and flexible according to my timings. i love the idea that everybody's going electric, but i think they're pretty lethal as they are. i think there are a lot more . economical than other modes of transport, certainly. certainly for them sort of like mid distances where it's _ a bit too far to walk. but you know, it would always be people then driving. _ if you follow the rules correctly, i think it's really good. i think they are more dangerous than convenient _ i've got a young daughter who is at university. i'd hate to have the thought of her driving one of those things around. earlier i spoke to the boss of one e—scooter rentalfirm in the uk. he wants legislation to help regulate e—scooters as says they're here to stay. it's a new and radical innovation,

it's disruption to the way that we move historically. that's not going to be easy, there's going to be a transition period. but i think we have to focus on this being a really important part of the solution, to help cities reach their climate goals. worth saying as well, naga and charlie, paris was a front runner in this and now they are phasing them out, it has created some nerves in the industry over here. it's very much the case that they are still being trialled for now. i much the case that they are still being trialled for now. i suppose it is u- to being trialled for now. i suppose it is up to us. _ being trialled for now. i suppose it is up to us, those _ being trialled for now. i suppose it is up to us, those cities, _ being trialled for now. i suppose it is up to us, those cities, what - being trialled for now. i suppose it | is up to us, those cities, what they think of it, just because paris thinks one way, our traffic systems are different. thank you so much, hannah. , ~' are different. thank you so much, hannah. , ~ ., hannah. sounds like time for the weather, what _ hannah. sounds like time for the weather, what you _ hannah. sounds like time for the weather, what you think, - hannah. sounds like time for the weather, what you think, carol? | great idea! good morning everybody. most of us high in single figures or lower doubles as a base yesterday which was near freezing.

day of sunshine and showers after we lose the rain, courtesy of this with front to push into the north sea with a ridge of high pressure building in behind but it will still be quite showery. temperature wise, milder tomorrow than today, nine in lerwick, 12 in belfast, 15 in london. into the weekend, high pressure is still with us during the course of saturday. effectively blocking this weather front. making some inroads and then fizzling. high pressure pushes further north across scandinavia on easter sunday allowing a clutch of fronts to come in from the west. on saturday we have cloud in the east but it should break up a little bit more readily during saturday than friday and it will be dry weather, sunshine, cloud building in from the west. later in the day we will see some patchy rain arriving into the west of northern ireland. temperatures, nine to 15 degrees. for easter sunday itself,

quite a bit of cloud around. even so we will see some of the cloud break up. there will be some sunshine. round about lunch time we will have the rain coming in across northern ireland and strengthening winds as well, particularly in the west of the irish sea later on in the day. temperature wise, eight in lerwick, 12 in stornoway, up to 16 in london. for easter monday, this could change, the timing already has, what is likely to happen is during easter sunday the weather front will move across the uk and over night, clearing the east coast on easter monday and behind it we will see quite a lot of showers. for most of us this weekend it is going to be dry and fairly settled with variable cloud and sunny spells, easter monday it goes downhill for us all at the moment. you monday it goes downhill for us all at the moment.— monday it goes downhill for us all at the moment. ., ~' ., , ., ., at the moment. you know you went to broadcasting — at the moment. you know you went to broadcasting school, _ at the moment. you know you went to broadcasting school, carol, _ at the moment. you know you went to broadcasting school, carol, and - at the moment. you know you went to broadcasting school, carol, and it - broadcasting school, carol, and it was like how you tell a story, and always try to leave them on a high,
