so as much as all eyes will be on the policing board here today, i think we will hear a lot of politicalster. but really there is a scheduled meeting of there is a scheduled meeting of the police federation and that is the body that looks after rank and file officers and they will be pushing for number one answers of the chief constable and his executive body. and number two, they will be laying or laying down their what they want out of this and how quickly they want it, because one of the biggest problems with rank and file officers is that they are very frustrated about how long disciplinary actions are taking, how much paperwork is in them and how quickly much quicker that can be done. so as officers aren't left hanging with court cases. so they will want to see a very, very quick answer to this. so the probability is that today at the policing board, things will go politically . things will go politically. well, there will be a lot of bluster , but the police bluster, but the police federation this afternoon is the place to watch and there we think they will probably take a similar

tonight that what is happened tonight is of monumental significance and on additions who sit on the policing boardwork of the lease services have called for an emergency meeting —— and politicians who sit. there are no immediate concerns of specific risks to staff's personal security but they are working to see how widely available the information was when it was put onto a website between about 230 and 430 this afternoon. so you can expect there will be many questions asked over the next few weeks especially when you think that earlier this year in february the raising of the terrorism threat level in the aftermath of the attempted murder ofjohn caldwell sharpens the focus of how dangerous working in the police here can be. thanks forjoining us. in europe's deadly summer wildfire season, it's now portugal's turn to feel the heat. as i speak, blazes fuelled by roasting temperatures and strong winds, are pushing flames that have already scorched thousands of hectares of land, closer to one of europe's most popular holiday resorts, the algarve. the fires began near the town of 0demir on saturday, qu

this morning's emergency meeting here at the policing board had been due to last for around two hourshad cut a holiday short to be here, but four hours later he was still answering questions from politicians about the data breaches. afterwards, board members said the psni must rebuild trust. i have been contacted over the last couple of days by officers who say, "i think i'm at risk but i'm not going anywhere near my line manager because i've lost all confidence in the psni." a separate data breach happened injuly when documents on a laptop with officers' details were stolen from a car, but that wasn't made public until yesterday. that's part of an ongoing investigation. it is something that we need to understand better, and we have processes in place to understand that. cybersecurity experts say what happened has put lives at jeopardy. this data leak is significant. it differs from the majority of data leaks and data breaches, which are concerned with financial information and scammers trying to make money. but in this case, lives are at risk. law firms are already advertising that t
