his apology follows an independent report by baroness louise casey in which she calls the disorder "a for england" adding "there was a series of very near misses which could have led to a loss of life." the report details that around two thousand people got into the england v italy game illegally, particularly through disabled and emergency entrances. the report also said there was a "collective failure" in planning, including a "vulnerable" and inexperienced stewarding operation. it also cites the police deployment arrived "too late". football and after watching manchester united beat arsenal from the stands last night, united's new interim manager ralf rangnick has given his first press conference at old trafford. the german had plenty to say including admitting "it was a job offer he couldn't turn down" and saying that he's "not ruling staying—on as manager" beyond his initial six months in charge. imean, at i mean, at the time when chelsea contacted me last year or this year, in february, they only spoke about the option to become interim manager forfour months. so, it was in febr

the report's author, baroness louise casey, said there was a series of "very near misses" at wembleyld have led to a loss of life. she said there'd been a collective failure by organisers, security firms and the police which allowed 2,000 ticketless fans, and "drunken thugs", to make their way into the stadium. our sports correspondent natalie pirks is outside wembley stadium. tell us about what this report said? essentially, that it was a near miss amid a perfect storm of all the covid—19 restrictions we had at that time and the fact that england were in theirfirst final time and the fact that england were in their first final in 35 years. baroness casey describes the final as a potentially glorious national occasion that turned into a day of national shame. occasion that turned into a day of nationalshame. she occasion that turned into a day of national shame. she said the actions of fans who she said were high, some of fans who she said were high, some of them on drink and drugs, were intolerable and like in some of their actions to a medieval football match. she said the events o

however, obviously, the commissioner and the mayor obviously have commissioned baroness casey to lookthe light of any new evidence that may be presented as part of the inquest. there have recently been reforms to the ilo pc, then a change in regulations just last year, to try and improve their performance. i do have confidence that they will try to get to the bottom of the often very difficult and complicated issues, but as i say until we see if they are going to reopen the investigation, i can't really comment on that any further. finally i would say that my reading of the apologies by the senior officers at the met are very heartfelt, and that they recognise there was a serious failure in this case. from helen ball, who i know well, an officer of great commitment, through to stewart cundy, who leads on homicide for the national police cuts across the country for the by now they are all committed to facing these failure and improving in the future. bill and improving in the future. fill right—thinking members of this house support our police and understand that they do a tremendous j
