while the met was publicly proclaiming its commitment to protecting women after the murder of sarah everardit now admits its professional—standards department made no attempt to check the full record of carrick who was already accused of rape. the home secretary said it pointed to a fundementalfailure in the vetting process, which has to be improved across england and wales. it's clear that today is a sonbering day for the met and for the whole policing family throughout the country. this appalling incident represents a breach of trust. it will affect people's confidence in the poice and it's clear that standards and culture need to change in policing and that's why i'm driving forward changes to support the police and support chief constables around the coutnry in doing so. nusrit mehtab is a former scotland yard superintendent, a police officer for more than 30 years, who quit the force after alleging she suffered racist abuse and misogyny. you racist abuse and misogyny. are very welcome to th programme. you are very welcome to the programme. thank you for being with us. how is it possibl

that's at the promised is at the time of the murder of sarah everard and it hasn't happened.rds. that are basic issues around effecting, around compulsory standards for vetting, around the sort of checks that should take place. the idea that this man could have been not suspended from duty, even when there were rape allegations made, and that was after the waning cousins had been arrested and was being prosecuted. it was after all these promises had been made and yet he still was suspended from duty and his permission on firearms were restored to him, despite the serious evidence and information that the police should have had, that they have admitted they didn't act on. police in sicily say they have arrested country's most notorious mafia boss. 0ver100 members of the armed forces are said to have taken place in the arrest. in ukraine, the mayor of the city of dnipro is warning there may be no further survivors after saturday's russian missile strike on an apartment building. a whole section of the nine—storey block collapsed, killing at least 40 people including three child

troubling, what does raise big questions for the met, is as recently as 2021 — so this is after sarah everardhey simply put him on restricted duties, allowed him to carry on working, also, crucially, didn't look at his entire record. and as we know now, there'd been a number of red flags down the years over his record. so that is very recent for them, so that speaks to the culture of the place. and you think, "well, that's not that long ago.

those allegations , one of them those allegations, one of them was only four months after the sarah everard case when the metropolitan police issued us. things have changed and i don't think things have changed. i think things have changed. i think it's extremely, very worrying for women to realise there may be a culture of sexism in the misogyny and the misogyny. i think you should have one of the harshest penalties out there. i'm definitely imprisonment and it should not just. i think the whole sector of men of metropolitan should be reviewed . well, in other news today, the scottish secretary has been defending the uk government's move to block holyrood's controversial gender bill reforms. it's the first time westminster has made an order under the scotland act to prevent a law from hollyrood going to royal assent. alister jack says the reasoning behind the move is that holyrood's gender bill would undermine equality laws in the rest of the uk . the bill would have serious uk. the bill would have serious adverse effects on the operation of the equality act 2010, and as i've set out in my

in 2021, the murder of sarah everard at the hands of a serving met officer was supposed to be a watershedppened. frances read, bbc news. speaking to bbc breakfast earlier today, sir mark rowley said the met had let london down. david carrick has been horrifically abusive as an individual, what he has done to his victims is truly apparent. their courage in coming forward is truly admirable between havelock london town, he has been a police officer for 20 years through a combination of weak policies and weak decisions over those 20 years weak decisions over those 20 years we missed opportunities when he joined and subsequently, as his behaviour came to the fall, that we should have removed him from policing. we are systematically reviewing every member of police or police staff we have historic flags for being involved in an incident of domestic abuse and sexual violence. i'm sure some will be nothing of concern but some will be of concern in time be encountered, i have tens of thousands of fantastic men and women but hundreds that should not be here, and i will sort that out. the headlines

amendment to the bill that would stop protests from happening and that they did in the wake of sarah everardt have trust in that. now to italy. one of the world's most wanted criminals — the mafia boss matteo messina denaro — has been arrested in sicily after thirty years on the run. this was the moment he was detained at a private clinic in the sicilian capital palermo, the first time he's been seen in decades. the 60—year—old is believed to have been the leading figure in the notorious cosa nostra mafia. this was italy's prime minister contratulating prosecutors in palermo over the arrest. speaking to reporters, she said it's a day of celebration but the war against the mafia is not over. translation: it is a day of- celebration for the families of all the victims of organised crime. the sacrifices of so many heroes has not been in vain because someone has picked up the baton and continued their battle. we have not won the war. we have not defeated the mafia. but this was a fundamental battle to win and it is a serious blow for organised crime. let's get a different perspective on the oper

we were protesting the fact a serving police officer raped, abducted and murdered sarah everard.oment of silence and we to come togetherfor to come together for women's safety. they are not worried about women's safety, they are worried about first might be on brand pages saying the police and the government need to do something to make us safer. let's talk about the problems we are trying to protest about, that things were striking over, nursing pay. this is all about stopping us standing up to the government rather than fixing the problem is that we are trying to fix.— are trying to fix. rishi sunak the prime minister _ are trying to fix. rishi sunak the prime minister said _ are trying to fix. rishi sunak the prime minister said the - are trying to fix. rishi sunak the prime minister said the right - are trying to fix. rishi sunak the prime minister said the right to | prime minister said the right to protest is a fundamental principle of democracy but this is not absolute. do you agree with that? know, i think they are trying to exit away at every point. what is the point of

cousins, he worked for the same people who's in the same unit as leighton of the murder of sarah , sarah everardsingle paper's talking about missed opportunities, but times they were read in terms of what they should have spotted and what's really scary and i this in the mail is just how many more monsters in uniform we have to put in perspective . there are put in perspective. there are that number of them being investigated. if you look at the met a whole that 34,244 police officers some of them being investigated. i say, look, history repeats itself because we don't learn the lessons from history whatever the vetting procedure is. this needs to be looked at in a serious way. we don't want these headlines anymore. we don't want any more these horrendous and they are horrendous cases . well, peter, horrendous cases. well, peter, let me come to you, because i mean, you know , sir mark really mean, you know, sir mark really has come out and said, we failed. how you think the culture is in the police that you can have opportunities in ten years. nine complaints against him and none of them are act

you you've seen happened in recent in last couple of years in terms the murder of sarah everard.entence . let's see what he sentence. let's see what he gets. but people like that should never , ever be allowed to should never, ever be allowed to roam free on our streets . roam free on our streets. sharon, thank you very much. i'll speak to you again very, very soon. george, who's a former detective superintendent, just. shocking case. very unfortunate. yes, again. well, you're with patrick christys on gb news. coming up, an open it seems a holloway's multi—million tax case with one senior tory saying the former chancellor should stand aside whilst the investigation is can ducted. i'll be back in a moment. welcome the inbox in front of me right is on fire. it's the most emails i've ever seen in to any show that i've ever done on any topic gbviews@gbnews.uk . and topic gbviews@gbnews.uk. and it's not hard to understand why. because so many of you clearly feel deeply, deeply passionate about the fact that an asylum seeker who was convicted of a double murder and drug dealing offence

systemic and so to have such horrible tragic scandals emerge involving the death of women like sarah everardou know to have smallman biba. you know to have these terrible things in our newspapers suggest not just that there are people in the met, but there are people in the met, but there also people in them who have suggestions, anxieties and do not voice them. and so for this of systemic problem, you need systemic silence, which you have to reinvent a culture where when people are uncovered or uncertain about their colleagues there is a safe, proper to deal with that . yes, indeed . my with that. yes, indeed. my concern will be that, as in person as it is, that they clear up mess. it's also how they behave afterwards. because you mentioned there are about policing by consent and about trust the police and how important all of that is. at the same time needing to root out these bad apples and corruption and corrosive behaviour. i don't believe that the vast majority of the british public want police force to go woke. i don't . they want to be taking . they want them to be taking the the i d

and we hear don't we after the murder of sarah everard by wayne cousins . cousins. oh, well, you know, there's the occasion . no bad there's the occasion. no bad apple. there's a few bad apples in police. well, it does look like it's considerably more a few. this, of course, all triggered by the conviction of david, a serving police officer. now sacked earlier in the week , now sacked earlier in the week, convicted of 49 crimes against women , 24 more rapes. the chief women, 24 more rapes. the chief of the metropole police are mark rowley has now said very publicly they are sorry and that he should never have become a police officer in the first place because 20 years ago, before he even joined the police , there were serious allegations against him that were there. now in further incidents , were not in further incidents, were not sufficiently . i including back sufficiently. i including back only in july 2021. he was arrested for rape , but the met arrested for rape, but the met did not view it is sufficiently serious to suspend him from duty. so obviousl

we can all remember that picture of the girl down at that sarah everard vigil. you remember.arian. yes, yes, yes. authoritarian. we've her in we've got a quote from her in the this morning, the guardian this morning, obviously offended by it, by these to the law. and these changes to the law. and she's of would that she's sort of saying, would that would vigil have would that vigil have been allowed ahead of the allowed to go ahead of the vigil? that the vigil was vigil? was that the vigil was appallingly stopped in any case? wasn't it? they not have wasn't it? so they not have argument to make going, too? yeah i'm appalled by the yeah i'm just appalled by the wives. does matter the wives. it does matter what the government still government do because still carry doing that carry on. doing what? doing that case. also they'll come up case. well, also they'll come up with a new spin. they'll just come with something else come up with something else that we thought and we haven't thought through. and in you're going to be in the end, you're going to be looking different way to l
