serving metropolitan police officer at an address in kent in connection with the disappearance of sarah everarddevelopment in our search for sarah, and the fact that the man who's been arrested is a serving metropolitan police officer is both shocking and deeply disturbing. i recognise the significant concern this will cause. the police officer is in his 405, his house in deal in kent the focus of searches all day, police removing cars. he was part of the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command, but instead of protecting embassies he's facing questions about a possible murder. a woman was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. about four o'clock in the morning, i heard car doors banging. i just assumed it was, like, night workers. you know, people going to bed, going to work, and then i just saw some activity with police down there. a week ago, sarah, a marketing executive, had been visiting a friend's house on leathwaite road, close to clapham common in south london. she left there at around 9pm in the evening to return to her home in brixton an hour away. police believe

not intend to resign and welcomes a review into the police�*s handling of last night's vigil for sarah everardi don't think anybody who was not in the operation can actually pass a detailed comment on the rightness and wrongness of it. this is fiendishly difficult policing. but criticism of the police has been swift, from across the political spectrum and those who attended the vigil. as i was sat in the van, as my hands were handcuffed, i wasjust thinking, "gosh, all i wanted was to stand with other women." hundreds of demonstrators are gathered this evening near the houses of parliament. earlier, they lay on the ground for a minute's silence. authorities in the republic of ireland recommend temporarily suspending use of the astrazeneca vaccine, after a report of four new cases of blood clotting incidents in adults who'd had the jab in norway. the foreign secretary makes another call for the immediate release of british—iranian nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe after she faces new allegations of anti—government propaganda in court. and it's the music industry's biggest awards night of the year, the g
