police has released a statement saying a male officer has been removed from operational duties and were making a voluntary referral of our policing response to the independent office of police conductrest is an unusual occurrence, and one that we understand creates alarm . we understand creates alarm. >> i joined now by former metropolitan police detective peter bleksley. good morning to you, peter. and what do you make of this video? because it is distressing viewing in terms of trust and confidence that the pubuc trust and confidence that the public may or may not have in the police. >> the damage is already done. news of this spread like wildfire. and last night people were coming up to me at a social function with their phones in their hands saying, have you seen this? have you seen this ? seen this? have you seen this? because whilst it is only a snapshot of what were clearly violent events, this is a dreadful look and yet another problem for the beleaguered greater manchester police. >> the problem is , peter, we >> the problem is, peter, we don't get the. and i'm not in any way , shape or form trying to any way, shape or form trying to defend what we see in this, these image

of violence being meted out on police officers, and it is utterly appalling. so yes, not only is the police officer under investigation by the independent office of police conduct for the kick and the stamp, but there are a certain number of people that very much need to be under criminal investigation for a revolting, disgusting, appalling level of violence being meted out on police officers. >> i mean, it really, it really is vicious looking at it. i mean, it's really shocking stuff. peter it begs the question why in all of this is because obviously the police have been aware of what this wider incident is. why is, say , wider incident is. why is, say, the chief constable of greater manchester police more concerned about what the officer did in response rather than dealing with what those officers had to deal with? >> indeed. and why has the chief constable, stephen watson of greater manchester police, why did he not release body worn video from some of his own officers, who he is supposed to lead? set an example to and support when appropriate? why did he not release their body worn video days ago, which would have painted a much more even playing field? the

so maybe i'll see, see, of course is the independence office of police conduct. so can you tell us about the perhaps not meeting and what you're hearing about the investigation that's now taking place to be investigation? is that a fact of the stage? and so we can't go too much into it, but i kind of comment on the video was that the, everybody has seen circulating a spot already. it's probably what's happened on the treatment that they have to be into the public at a p as in p. and out of the piece and it should not be life that imagine just imagine a pre is totally been busy take cooking, who gets off and my just pulled and see is that that's the greatest experience of the united kingdom police of if the statements are that has been ordered by the police, so the statement that has been put forward by the police, i'm sure you've seen it, but just to our viewers are aware. the police are saying that they have responded to reports of an assault and 3 officers were assaulted during their response. the officer was including one female officer whose nose was broken, r

police officers and this incident now , which i again this incident now, which i again reiterate, we still have not seen all of is going to test, of course, our police, the independent office for police conductn service, the greater manchester police, and i would say, where's the home secretary? where's the prime minister >> priti patel has become the fifth mp to enter the tory leadership race. the former home secretary says she can unite the party and turn it back into, quote, a winning machine. she joins james cleverly, tom tugendhat, robert jenrick and mel stride running to replace rishi sunak. nominations close tomorrow. former deputy chair of the conservative party, brendan clarke—smith told us mr patel will be popular with members. is it a good line up there? but i think if you look at priti patel and particularly a relationship with party members as well, they felt very unloved, some of them fairly demoralised after the election campaign. >> they need somebody who can pick them up again, someone with a bit of vision, someone who's a real blue blooded conservative. and i think priti patel, she actually fits that description pretty well. i'd say. >> labour is set to overhaul planning ru

officer kicking and stamping on the head of a man lying on the ground. 0h! move up, move up! the constable seen here has been suspended from duty. stop kicking people. the independent office for police conductl independent process has to be followed. it's clear that this is a complex, fast—moving incident, but obviously there's no justification whatsoever for what we've seen, and i think the police have made that clear. that's why this officer has been suspended. but we've got to let the independent process follow its due course. as part of their investigation, the police have opened an online portal, where members of the public can submit information or material that could help with their inquiries. shame on you. the events of last week led to protests in rochdale, with some accusing greater manchester police of being institutionally racist. but the family of the men involved have appealed for calm, warning that extremists on all sides were keen to hijack this incident for their own ends. will vernon, bbc news. now it's time for a look at today's sport with chetan. the latest from the olympics and the rest of the day's sport. hi. hi, thank you, yes. another big day to come at the olympics.

we also know that the independent office for police conduct is looking into this, and they've met with the family ofyor of greater manchester. not very much calm at this particular protest, because the incident has now turned into a debate on the kind of policing that people want to see in this country, with some politicians expressing support for greater manchester police and some criticism. so it's a debate which has excited a lot of passion, a lot of anger and a lot of noise. that was phil mccann reporting there. our political editor chris mason is in westminster, where there's been a lot of political reaction to events in manchester. what often happens when there are incidents like this is that the political reaction falls into two categories. there is criticism, and there is also a plea for the investigators to be given time to try and work out the full picture of what happened. and there's been plenty of both of those things today. but a twist too, because enter reform uk, the insurgent party, if you like, at the general election. they attracted more than 4 million votes. and a couple of their

the uk's independent office for police conduct says a constable with the greater manchester force is under criminal investigation for assault, after a video emerged ofng kicked in the head as he lay on the floor at manchester airport. an officer was suspended on thursday. the chief constable has expressed regret at the shock and upset caused by the incident in some communities. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has met former president and republican presidential candidate — donald trump — in florida. the warm tone was in notable contrast to mr netanyahu's talks with democratic presidential contender, kamala harris, on thursday, after which she said she couldn't stay silent about the suffering of civilians in gaza. paris has welcomed the olympic games with an opening ceremony like no other, taking place in the city itself, rather than a stadium, with thousands of athletes sailing down the river seine. a total of 85 boats paraded the team delegations on a six—kilometre journey through the centre of paris, with more than 300,000 spectators lining the banks of the river, though relentless rain put a dampener on the party. but it was a very di
