we haven't mr daly recovered the stolen property. i know there is speculation about how and why it may have been stolen, but as chris has said, we are now in an investigation in its early stages, and we can't confirm much else at the moment. {lila confirm much else at the moment. 0k, thank ou confirm much else at the moment. 0k, thank you very — confirm much else at the moment. 0k, thank you very much. so there you go, you have been watching a live press conference from belfast from the senior officers of the police service of northern ireland. that, of course, after the details of 10,000 police officers and staff were mistakenly revealed on the internet on tuesday. the chief constable, simon burns, said that he was, deeply sorry about the breach of data on what he called, an industrial scale, which is now in the public domain. he told a news conference that a key priority is now remaining alert to the safety and welfare of both officers and staff. what the chief constable did confirm during that

news conference is that police have not rehoused anyone yet over those data breaches, but of course, as we have been hearing over the last couple of days on bbc news, a number of officers have expressed concerns about their security in the aftermath of the breaches. there are concerns that that database might get into the hands of dissident republicans. now, the chief constable, simon byrne, admitted that there would be human and what he called reputational consequences of what had happened, which he described as, an unprecedented crisis. as you can imagine, there are questions over his position, but he said, and i quote him, leadership is not about walking away. it is facing up to responsibility stop we need consistency and calm heads to lead us through an unprecedented crisis. so that, as you can imagine,

questions about his leadership, but he said it was about leading them through this. he also admitted that they could be, as a police service, liable to a financial penalty because of this massive data breach, whether that is from the regulator or, indeed, personal officers worried about their data leak. but he said it was still in the very early stages of that investigation and there was end to end review going on, as you can imagine. he also sent daly said that he and the senior leadership apologised unreservedly for the breach. he said that he had spoken personally to staff in the last number of days, who he described as having, a range of emotions. he said that some were pragmatic, he described it as, but also others were anxious, frustrated and angry. now, you may also

remember that there has been a second data breach that came out over the last couple of days. it emerged yesterday that a police laptop and documents had been stolen from a car last month. 0n laptop and documents had been stolen from a car last month. on that breach, the chief constable and the other senior officers at that press conference that they were confident that that information wouldn't leak, as they could wipe the devices and that they were password protected. he said that they had means of wiping those devices remotely and, as i say, he said he was confident the information on them would not be accessible to third parties. so that's just a brief sum up of what the chief constable, simon byrne, was saying at that press conference that has been held in belfast. it all comes after the senior officers

were attending a behind closed doors meeting with a 19 people who make up the policing board in northern ireland, who of course have been trying to get to the bottom of why this massive data breach happened. that meeting lasted almost four hours. that is a lot longer than a lot of people had expected. of course, a lot of questions being asked of the police service of northern ireland after the details of those 10,000 police officers and staff were mistakenly revealed on the internet on tuesday. well, listening to that news conference is our correspondence, charlotte gallagher, who joins our correspondence, charlotte gallagher, whojoins us now from belfast. charlotte, the chief constable basically saying this was a data breach on an industrial scale. . , ., ., , scale. he was, and he said he was deel scale. he was, and he said he was deeply sorry _ scale. he was, and he said he was deeply sorry for — scale. he was, and he said he was deeply sorry for what _ scale. he was, and he said he was deeply sorry for what had - scale. he was, and he said he was. deeply sorry for what had happened to his officers and his staff, and

he also said that he knew public trust was now an issue. now, one of the key questions that had emerged from this data breach was, had it fallen into the wrong hands? this list of officers? essentially, into the hands of dissident republicans. now, they were behind the attack on a senior detective in february, and attempted murder in 0magh, so there was concern, perhaps, that list had fallen into their hands, so simon byrne was asked about that, and at this point he said the psni, the police force in northern ireland, hadn't been able to verify the substance behind those claims, but that was obviously something they were investigating. he also said he was deeply sorry for what had happened and also he was asked, had any officers had to be rehoused after their names emerge? because this list included people working at the highest level of security clearance, people working with m15

in northern ireland. now, simon byrne said no one had been rehoused at this point. so lots of questions being asked byjournalists, notjust about that initial breach, the 10,000 names being published, but also, it turned out yesterday that there had been another data breach injuly, when a document containing the names of 200 officers had been stolen from a police officer's car, along with a police radio and a police laptop. so he was asked questions about that as well and really he said at the moment he was not considering his position. he made that clear. he said it was also about responsibility, leadership and he would be staying in his position to leave the force through this challenging time. and i think everyone will agree here in northern ireland, it is a really, really challenging time because when you hear the stories of police officers here, they are concerned, a lot of people, many people say that they have moved, they have moved before because they wanted to feel safe in

their own homes, police officers. 0ne female police officer told the bbc she hadn't even told the children —— but her children what she does as a job in case they told someone and one politician said, a male police officer had told him he had not even been able to have dinner at his mother's house for ten years because of the security situation, so those kind of stories really underlined why people are so worried here. really underlined why people are so worried here-— worried here. charlotte, he also said that they _ worried here. charlotte, he also said that they could _ worried here. charlotte, he also said that they could be - worried here. charlotte, he also said that they could be open - worried here. charlotte, he also said that they could be open to l said that they could be open to actually having to pay out, either through their regulator or indeed to individual officers because of this data breach?— individual officers because of this data breach? , ., data breach? they could indeed and that would be _ data breach? they could indeed and that would be something _ data breach? they could indeed and that would be something that - data breach? they could indeed and that would be something that the i that would be something that the force will have to look at in the coming weeks, the coming months, some kind of financial compensation for officers and also, will they be fined by the information commissionerfor this massive, massive data breach? i mean, how did this happen? the names of every single police officer and every single police officer and every single member of staff working for

whether this list has fallen into the wrong hands. we heard from the chief constable saying they hadn't found any evidence of that yet, that this list had fallen into the wrong hands, and then thirdly, stopping this from ever happening again. so there will be a review of the psni, i am sure, of how data is held, who has access to such confidential data and what to do going forward within the police force. {lilia and what to do going forward within the police force.— the police force. 0k, charlotte gallagher. _ the police force. 0k, charlotte gallagher, thank _ the police force. 0k, charlotte gallagher, thank you - the police force. 0k, charlotte gallagher, thank you very - the police force. 0k, charlottel gallagher, thank you very much indeed for the moment. you're watching bbc news. a reminder that the news that we are bringing you in the news that we are bringing you in the last half an hour or so it is that the police service of northern ireland have been holding a news conference after the details of those 10,000 police officers and staff were mistakenly revealed on tuesday. the chief constable, simon byrne, said he was deeply sorry about the breach of data on what he called, an industrial scale, which is now in the public domain. he said that a key priority was now remaining alert to the safety and

welfare of both officers and staff. the chief constable confirmed the police have not rehoused anyone yet over the data breaches. the warmest weather we have seen for quite some time, but it may not last all that long because on the satellite picture you can see this type of cloud out to the west, a weather front that will bring something of a change. but ahead of that, a feed of southerly winds and warm air spreading across the uk, feeling quite humid actually in places. while we will continue to see some spells of sunshine, there are some quite large areas of cloud around and one or two showers breaking out, some across wales, some parts of england, more cloud generally rolling into northern ireland with the strengthening breeze, but in the best of the sunshine and has a 27 or 28 degrees. but i mentioned that weather front actually worse, that is going to make it move as we head through this evening and night, bringing outbreaks of potentially heavy and thundery rain across northern ireland, up across scotland, some

patchy rain into northern england, not much rain further south, but a fair amount not much rain further south, but a fairamount of not much rain further south, but a fair amount of cloud and what will be a pretty warm and muggy night, 16 or 17 degrees below for some of us. so here is our weatherfront, moving its way east, lingering in the north of scotland, quite a soggy day to come, i think, of scotland, quite a soggy day to come, ithink, across of scotland, quite a soggy day to come, i think, across parts of the northern aisles, and then it is a mixture of sunny spells and showers, some showers on the heavy side, could see more generally cloudy weather clinging on across the south—east corner. still quite warm across parts of england, but turning cooler and eventually a bit fresher from the west. then we head into the weekend with this area of low pressure quite close by. this will bring some showers or longer spells of rain, particularly across the north and the rest of the uk, and so on saturday we will see outbreaks of heavy rain at times across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and parts of wales, whereas further south and east not as many showers, more sunshine, still in relative warmth, 2a degrees in norwich,

cooler and quite breezy further north and west and then as we head into sunday, again a story of sunny spells and showers, some showers heavy, possibly thundery, but not as heavy, possibly thundery, but not as heavy down in the south—east, temperatures north to south read 18-22 . as temperatures north to south read 18—22 . as we had next week, we will continue to see some showers at times, but there are some signs things might start to warm up again towards the end of the week.
