today, alun michael has been back out speaking to the press, saying he is still assured that police werele all morning bringing fresh floral tributes and cards to the scene, and also among that grief there is a sense of community. one local business has offered to fix any of the broken cars, like the ones you can see behind me to try to help everybody come back together. but as this community tries to rebuild, they are also going to have to deal with an independent office for police conduct investigation this lunchtime, confirming that following their inquiries they will be carrying out an independent review of the police's actions here in ely on monday night. so, perhaps a long way to go for the local community here.— a long way to go for the local community here. a long way to go for the local communi here. , ., ~ i. deaths related to the abuse of alcohol have risen by nearly 90% in the past two decades, and even more sharply since the start of the pandemic. that's according to a cross—party group of mps, which has accused ministers of not taking alcohol abuse seriously enough. celesti

yesterday, the local police and crime commissioner, alun michael, denied the boys were being pursuedou say, with many, many flowers and balloons behind me. and last night i was here. there were crowds out here on the streets. there was high tension but calm. i think perhaps people finding solace in being together. but two days on, there are an awful lot of questions still, especially around the circumstances which led up to the deaths of those two teenage boys. and that's because initially the south wales police and crime commissioner said that police weren't chasing the boys at the time of their crash. and then the bbc verified footage showing a police van following two boys on an e—bike in the moments before that crash happened. now the south wales police and crime commissioner has been back on the radio this morning and he says he is still assured that what he says was the truth but understands that there could be some confusion and nowjust wants to make sure that everything is investigated properly. meanwhile, the iopc, who's the police watchdog, will also be sending investigator
