and the telegraph are looking at cressida dick, dame cressida dick, the current gibraltar police commissioneri rs suggestion to be called by the home affairs select committee. yes, because she could have stepped in at some point and said, hang on, let's have a closer look. if you are running a large organisation it is very easy to delegate to your commissioners and your chief superintendents and whatever. but when there is something raging like this, one would have expected a commissioner to get down and look at that paper work and to ask some intelligent questions. i think the question here is, did she do enough as the chief to see how this investigation was being carried out, and whether it was correctly carried out? the buck has to stop at the top. it absolutely has to. page seven, the mail on sunday. this appeals to me, there's a story. pa rents appeals to me, there's a story. parents hired tutors to help them do homework. a shaky grasp of maths and science for parents these days because it is taught so differently. yes, i remember when because it is taught so differently. yes, i remember

cressida dick formally apologised saying she is deeply sorry.l have more reaction to that coming up. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with louise lear. good afternoon. keep that wet weather gear close at hand, you are likely to need it this week. whether you will be able to keep the umbrella up due to the strength of the wind is another matter. this has been the story so far this morning. rather heavy skies and some rain at times. some of it has been quite persistent but it is turning quite showery as we go through the next few hours, and for the remainder of this week, that is going to be the story. the wind is remaining quite a feature, there will be some showery outbreaks of rain at times. so, over the last few hours, we have seen a pulse of wet weather moving away from eastern england, plenty of showers behind it. the showers heaviest and most widespread up into the north—west, even with the odd rumble of thunder here. that is because we are nearer to this area of low pressure which is sitting out in the atlantic, dominating the weath

sir richard also believes that the current met commissioner, dame cressida dick, should have been interviewedor the beech investigation. today, she stressed her officers should investigate with an open mind. there was a policy that tended to suggest to officers they should believe complainants, so—called victims, whatever they said, and investigate the allegation rather than at any early stage beginning to investigate the individual. than at any early stage beginning to investigate the individual. the investigation into an alleged westminster paedophile ring cost £2.5 million. lord bramall, a former chief of the defence staff, was among those who paid the price for the police failings. falsely accused along with lord britton, who was once home secretary, the ex tory mp harvey proctor and the late conservative prime minister sir edward heath. the police have been accused of unlawfully obtaining war rans to is is the home of lord britton and other suspect. the police watchdog the iopc rejects this. it's refused to do interviews, but in a statement its director general michael lockwood said. lin

needs to intervene, or is thisjust another example of the commissioner of the metropolitan police, cressidabeing good enough? can i say i empathize with most of what my noble friend has just said? in terms of the pollution he is absolutely right. the city of london is now gridlocked with nobody being able to get in or out. the effect on businesses, i think it's quite disgraceful. particularly small businesses like restaurants, this morning going to the home office and i had to step over people to get in there. and i absolutely take his point about disabled members of this house and the other place, and it has been difficult enough when you are able—bodied to getting here, but never mind being disabled. there's something else i observed this morning which is that i took the bus in, and it was apparent that the bus could only get me to piccadilly circus, which is fine for me, because i can walk up but for people who cannot afford to take the tube they could actually be forced to take the two of this morning would not have gotten in. and that stands for disabled people. so i completely accept

more than a hundred have been arrested in london since monday, the commissioner says commissioner cressida's impeding its ability to respond to other crimes. climate activists have set up sites in trafalgar square and vauxhall, and a protest has been taking place today outside here the bbc‘s broadcasting house. we have had to deal with multi sites of protesters, large numbers of protesters and protesters that are gluing themselves to each other the street furniture and locking themselves on with complex locks they mean it is slow and sometimes dangerous to remove them. so we have had to draw officers in from across the country to help us police it, which means they are not in their communities policing where they want to be and where they should be. how long do you think there will continue if you are taking resources from elsewhere was something is going to give. you will make changes in demand and it does mean that we are not doing the activity that we wa nt to are not doing the activity that we want to do, the same amount of time of the victims, we are still responding to emergencies wh

now, as you know, people have said that was a slip of the tongue, most recently cressida dick.e time. i did suggest he went to the police. the new report makes clear he did more than that. hundreds of pages of information were sent to the police by him under operation midland. and the pressure he applied in the metropolitan police under operation midland meant that the senior investigating officer, detective inspector tideway made as one of her priorities how do we deal with tom watson? he should come clean and apologise to field marshal tremmel and to lady britain and to others. do you think he should resign his current position? i used to be a member of parliament. he has not the judgment to be, in my mind, a member of parliament. what about the police officers involved? of parliament. what about the police officers involved ? what of parliament. what about the police officers involved? what do you think should happen to them? they should bea should happen to them? they should be a full investigation into these police officers. i have called already and reiterated that an out

statement by cressida dick earlier this afternoon. with borisjohnson is a matter of controversy, has broken her silence about her dealings with mrjohnson when he was mayor of london. jennifer arcuri joined trade missions led by mrjohnson, and received thousands of pounds of public money, giving rise to questions over a potential conflict of interest over their friendship. ms arcuri has refused to deny that they had an intimate relationship. she said the prime minister was just "a really good friend" and mrjohnson has insisted everything was done "entirely in the proper way". our correspondent helen catt has the latest. i hope you're having a productive... when then mayor of london boris johnson agreed to speak at her events, young tech entrepreneur jennifer arcuri was overjoyed. i'm ready to hang out! boris is hanging out! he ended up being a star attraction at several. you like hanging out with us, right? she took part in a number of trade missions run by city hall and received public funds while he was in post. speaking to itv‘s goo

cressida dick, the current commissioner, was, at the early stages of the inquiry, in charge of it, the crime agency. two of the senior police officers who will indirectly, and in some cases directly, be mentioned by this report, and one thing in particular that henrique has gone public about since the publication of his report is his concern that the search wa rra nts is his concern that the search warrants that were obtained, were, in effect, in his view, illegal, because he says that the met had evidence that the claims by beech we re evidence that the claims by beech were not corroborated or consistent, and yet they applied for search wa rra nts and yet they applied for search warrants telling a districtjudge that they had corroboration with it and he had been consistent. there is no more serious allegation done that. it might explain the strength with which he believes that, and if it is there, the met would have to provide some response to it. we have heard that the home secretary priti patel has asked for the inspectorate of constabulary to effectively investigate the police inve

the head of the police in london — cressida dick — said that bill could be set to rise further.s of electric cars may soon use special green number plates, to help them benefit from incentives, such as cheaper parking and being able to drive in bus lanes. it's part of plans which hope to boost electric car sales, and help the government achieve its target of net zero emissions by 2050. we can now speak to dr sharon george, lecturer in environmental sustainability and green technology at keele university. thank you forjoining us. what do you think about the idea of green numberplates? it is a modelthat you think about the idea of green numberplates? it is a model that has worked quite successfully in norway, so on one level it is a good idea because it means these vehicles can because it means these vehicles can be identified so it means that schemes like fee parking by councils can be implemented easily. those drivers can be rewarded, they can use things like bus lanes. the concern is that there doesn't seem to be much movement on stimulating the infrastructure for these cars. l

i think one of the frustrations for police, and this was articulated by cressida dick, the metropolitan is the fact that they are doing their best to try and catch people but when they come to the criminaljustice system, they feel let down quite often, either because they can't get enough evidence to convince the crown prosecution service to bring charges or when charges are brought and a person is convicted, the sentence is too lax, they are out of prison within a few months or they receive a fine within a few months or they receive afine ora within a few months or they receive a fine or a community order or a caution that simply doesn't work and isn't a deterrent. and as we see, a third of them go on to reoffend. the figure is that those who are caught, just under a third are repeat offenders. it doesn't mean a third are repeat offenders but we know reoffending rates particularly with young people are extremely high. danny, thank you very much. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines... the 39 dead stowaways found in essex as investigations continue here and in belgium
