tremendous heroes on the metropolitan police. could have six dead metro police officers here, but i go back to the bombings here. >> there was an attempted bombing in times square. it was obvious a car isn't supposed to be parked in times square, they figured that out. what i learned from you is that you can always tell an intentional bomb from an unintentional explosion. that is apparently done relatively quickly. is it typical that someone doesn't claim responsibility for this type of thing? >> well, bombers are typical people, but if the bomber is dead, then the message may be at their home or, you know, it will come later in the mail. sometimes i've had the bombers, for example, kill themselves -- i had one at the opry land hotel put a bomb in a range rover, blew himself up, blew himself 30 feet out of the vehicle. it was a suicide, concocted plot. but we didn't get the notice until about four days later when the letter he mailed to himself showed up to his house in a suburb of nashville outlying the crazy plot. so he might h

the fbi is there, metropolitan police. they have all the people to work it.s going to be an extensive bomb scene, and we don't know what's going on here. it could be some kind of crazy accident. it could be intentionally set device. it could be a suicide with a set device. t just a lot of questions are up in the air. >> i want to bring in former fbi official clint watts to the conversation as well. let's say you are assigned to this. you show up on the scene. what are the first things you do? >> i think they're going to try to figure out what kind of persons or associations are related to the vehicle, number one. they want to identify did the vehicle belong the somebody and can that person be identified. from there, try to find all available connections. if you look back at some of the bombings through history, jim was talking about, it comes down to things like license plates, video cameras in the area, look agent how the vehicle arrived there. other local police reports. is this from someone who happened to be in the area. it could have just been somebody w

when you hear the chief of the metropolitan police of london today saying that she will not use this"we have zero tolerance of racist behaviour "within the met", is that the sort of leadership the met needs? you have to walk the talk. even now, officers of black and minority ethnic backgrounds are five times more likely to be disciplined than their white counterparts. i myself was investigated for a witch—hunt over an £80 hotel bill in the late ‘90s. so in all honesty, it's quite clear that those sort of cases that were still the case 20—odd years ago are still happening now. and then you also see the disproportionality in even section 60 roadblocks... hang on a minute... 25 times more likely with black than in white to be stopped... and i — i, yeah... ..to be stopped, and aggressively about. i gave some other stats about, you know, the number of stops made on black people as opposed to white people in london and the proportionality there. there is no question, there is a real disproportionality. but the police's response is, there's a disproportionality because there has to be, beca

, because in london at least, it was the case for over 100 years that the commission of the metropolitan policeoffice for a glass of whiskey and iron out any difficulties. other parts of the country had police authorities, but they were made up indirectly elected, theresa may comes along and has elected police and crime commissioners, but still there is a sense, the word you used from account ability, or rather lack of with the police. and neither of those measures seems to have eliminated the problem. no, please inquire don't do crime commissioners need reform. they were elected, people were going to have that account ability through the ballot box, but i think less than 20% of voters who vote in police and crime commission elections, so having proved to be some sort of huge democratic accountability process, and in terms of london, i don't agree that the mayor of london should have this sort of responsibly over the police connecticut should bea over the police connecticut should be a separate person, because being the mayor of london takes up quite a lot of your time, and the point is that th

it is a metropolitan government. one police department, one fire department, it is a giant city. been like that since '62. so antioch is a large center, neighborhood, under thehe jurisdiction of the metropolitan police. and since we're reading the tea leaves here, i think it is possible that -- they said we don't think there is another. i think they have a person they have identified, probably through video of tag numbers going around that tourist area. you couldn't drive around that block and not have your tag taken, picture taken 15 times. so i think that they have probably got that. you also have citizens calling in saying by the way, harry i haven't seen in two days and he has an rv like that. >> yeah. >> and i don't know what happened to harry, where he went or anything, but he has an rv like that. so there are leads that come in. if agents and detectives are do you know there, they might have a good lead trying to do something. it is possible. and like frank discussed, the at&t building, i think that is very viable. and he talked about setting leads there. we would set it a

and i don't want to leave out the metropolitan police. they put their bomb squad, intelligence unit, white-collar detectives, and that's what makes it all come together quickly. the question here is, you asked it, if i was commanding it, i would be asking those questions, where's the operator of the vehicle? why did he stop at this location? is there other devices? was there a different target? was this the place he wanted to detonate it or was he going somewhere else? i've had many cases where the bomber's vehicle just breaks. he can make a bomb, but he doesn't maintain his vehicle very well. all of a sudden, he's out of money and his car doesn't start on a cold morning. was he going somewhere else? and then the police come and then he's forced to activate his plan. and, you know, there's many cases like that. eric rudolph in birmingham when he killed a birmingham police officer, he detonated it when the police arrived because they were going to find and uproot his bomb. that could be the motive for the instant of the detonation when the

he was part of what the metropolitan police department called the natural squad. >> the homicide guy squads, they work murders. we investigate all the other deaths in the city, other than homicides. suicides, industrial accidents, natural deaths, overdoses. >> so, when this gets called in as 91-year-old woman who's dead in her bathroom in georgetown, what does that sound like to you? >> a natural. >> but detective jackson needed to gather all the facts starting with albrecht muth's account of what happened. >> i started to ask him questions, basic questions. when's the last time she's seen alive? he gave me the last time he saw her is around 4:00 p.m., the previous day. >> after spending the evening with a friend, he came home at around 10:00 p.m. he also said he decided to sleep in the basement because of the stifling, august heat. muth told the detective he realized something was wrong when he went upstairs, the next morning, and didn't see his wife. >> the morning newspaper was still on the stoop. he said he thought that was odd because the decedent would come down, get the paper

that can sometimes create issues for police, but what creates a concern here and raises serious questions about the efforts of the metropolitantional police department is when they followed back up to, as you said, they knocked on the door, they couldn't get in, couldn't see inside the rv. they later reach out to this attorney who also represents anthony warner, who is responsible for this bombing, they reached back out to the attorney andside we'd like to look inside the rv. the attorney says, look -- being a good attorney, i'm going to advise my client not to do that. but as you said, ayman, this attorney says, well, look, he has talked about bombmaking. if you're police, you have the suspect's attorney saying he's interested in bomb making. that should be a concern. it doesn't appear for an investigatie ivive effort beyon this. were think any subpoenas to determine if he was purchasing bomb-making supplies? really serious questions. >> let me ask you about a question that is lingering right now. are we any closer to finding out the motive behind this attack? >> i think so. i think every single day gets us closer to that. m

i'm joined now by ken marsh, chair of the metropolitan police federation.ropolitan police federation. thanks forjoining us. if we take the number of police officers and the number of households that they have to police and do the maths, it is a tough ask, isn't it? it is not a tough ask for us isn't it? it is not a tough ask for us because it won't be happening. we will not be knocking on doors at all u nless will not be knocking on doors at all unless there is a large, large group of noise, a party or something like that, but normal day—to—day households, there is no way my collea g u es households, there is no way my colleagues will be dealing with that. so what is your reaction to the health secretary saying it was the health secretary saying it was thejob of the the health secretary saying it was the job of the police to police the law? it is always the job of my collea g u es law? it is always the job of my colleagues to police the law, that is stated correctly. that is what we are therefore, but it has to be something we can police and it has to be so

what we saw over the last 24 hours is the metropolitan nashville police department along with federal authorities have been seeking the public's assistance in actually trying to garner more information about this rv. the reason being is that someone knows this vehicle. i mean, this vehicle has been out there. it may have been distinctive markings that will trigger someone's memory like i've seen that in my neighborhood. the vehicle needs gasolines so at one point it was getting gas. the video shows us direction of travel. investigators are probably combing through thousands of hours of video to basically work backwards to make attribution to where did this vehicle come from. the video may lead law enforcement officials to make attribution as to who was the operator or even owner of this vehicle. so very key piece of evidence in this case. >> and we expect there's going to be a briefing coming up maybe an hour from now. we know that reportedly there were some human remains also found. talk to me about the restraint of what the investigators want to reveal and at the same time it's very

right to a pretermination hearing before they're officially hired according to the louisville metropolitan policet. >>> also yesterday, the justice department announced it will not bring federal criminal charges against two cleveland police officers in the 2014 killing of 12-year-old tamir rice, saying video of the shooting was too poor of quality for prosecutors to conclusively establish what had happened. the decision revealed in a lengthy statement doesn't condone the officers' actions but says the cumulative evidence was not enough to support a federal criminal civil rights prosecution. reverend al, your reaction to both this decision in the tamir rice case, and also the actions of the louisville police department in the case of breonna taylor. >> the decision of the federal government not to proceed in the tamir rice case, a 12-year-old boy with a toy gun, and you can see in the video the police jump out of the car. you don't need a high quality video to see what happened. in seconds they shot and killed him, and for there not to proceed with a federal kcase is an outrage, and many of us inv

when he gets to a situation of institutional racism in the metropolitan police.d he had to make a decision. to join the met or not. again, i don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but there is a map in the story there between the father and the son. the rights and wrongs of joining the establishment in order to change it. that's what that story was about. it's just a generational story too. between the second generation and the person who was in the windrush generation. there is a generational debate, discussion really. some wet weather in the forecast. there has been some wet weather today. this band of rain moved away from eastern england during the morning. it's persisted across parts of eastern scotland. south—easterly winds of the north sea bringing this rain relentlessly into parts of aberdeenshire and up to caithness as well. these same areas will be seeing rain through the rest of today. and the ground is wet, there is the risk of localised disruption and flooding. showery rain elsewhere as we end the day. a bit heavier in the west for a ti
