our correspondent sanchia berg has more on this. i spoke today to the metropolitan police.missioner wasn't able to respond today, but he might be able later in the week. meanwhile, a little bit more information about those people who have been charged. as you said, over 60 people, 64 people were arrested. of those, only four have been charged. two have not been charged with any kind of public order offence. they have been charged with possession of class a drugs. two others have been charged with a public offence, but this is a pre—existing part of the act, a pre—existing law, which allows people to be arrested for causing harassment, alarm or distress. what is interesting is that there has been a huge amount of discussion about the new parts of the public order act that just came into force last week. people haven't yet been charged under those new provisions. as i said, they have been charged under the old provisions. it is likely there will be a growing conversation about these events over the next few days and weeks. the prime minister has today, as you said, defended t

"the parents' home was very unclean — at times hazardous with faeces on the floor." there were concerns about their cannabis use, too. finley�*s parents wanted to show social workers they could change so they sent these pictures to their social worker in april showing rooms much cleaner and tidier than before with finley�*s cot waiting for him. covid lockdowns meant the social worker didn't come to the house. other documents show the parents impressed social workers once they could meet them and finley in person for short contact sessions. one social worker wrote that... on 1st october 2020 their case came
