now, last week sgi, an independent search , were brought in to try search, were brought in to try anda piece of folding pulled out of search, saying that he believes she's not in the stretch of river they've been searching in earlier week a press conference with lancashire police. they told us that the nicola was great. she was graded as high risk as soon as she was listed as a missing person because of specific vulnerabilities . now they vulnerabilities. now they wouldn't elaborate at the time . wouldn't elaborate at the time. by the evening they don't want 80 and revealed to the public that it was because she'd previously suffered with issues with alcohol. now the decision to reveal that information has been quite controversial you mentioned the home secretary suella braverman has as criticised this decision and in the last hour or so the information commission john edwards has said we recognise that this stage of an intensive life investing session, the force most focus all of their energies on the inquiry. but given high profile nature of the case we will be asking lancashire poli

have they been aware that 561 that have they been aware that sgiand that have they been aware that sgieam it would have significantly affected the way they carried out their . way they carried out their. another big question perhaps the biggest question of them all is can these vulnerabilities that we know more about, can these perhaps be linked to what's happened to nicola bullock to fairly close family. they're still awaiting kind of news or breakthrough . what do we know breakthrough. what do we know about the investigations, the searches that we've seen in the in the river and on the banks and on the footpaths and so on? well, as far we know, the investigation contain as it did before. there's been a lot of criticism about the number resources that lancashire police have put into this one side, saying they've put in too much and, one side saying that they haven't put in enough. one thing that they were keen to reiterate yesterday in the press conference, though , is although conference, though, is although that main hypothesis remains to be that nicola sadly fell the river wyre the

made up for in the controversy that we've been seeing over the past three weeks now, last week we saw sgih team get involved with lancashire to help them search the river. but after just three days found a pizza fold pulled out of the search showing that he believes she's not in the stretch of the river where they've been searching. then course we have that dispersal after lancashire police said that armchair detectives have been disrupting their investigation only gave police power to send tik tok as a new away from the area . then a new away from the area. then earlier this week we that press conference with lancashire where they told us that as soon as she was listed as a missing person nicola bully was graded at high risk. and that was because of specific vulnerabilities which originally they said they wouldn't able to share. however, by the evening they'd made a complete warning you on that decision and revealed to public that the reason she was high risk was because in the past she had had significant issues with alcohol as a result of the menopause. now the decision to reveal that

last week , independent search team week, independent search team sgi involved as they tried to helpizza folding saying he believes she's not in the stretch of river that they had been searching . then they had been searching. then earlier this week there was a press conference with lancashire police who told us that from the offset nicola was graded as high risk because of specific vulnerabilities. now at that time they said they couldn't reveal what those vulnerabilities were because were private to the family. but then that evening they made a 180 on that decision and revealed to the public, in fact those vulnerabilities were that in the past she'd had cygnet focussed issues with alcohol . focussed issues with alcohol. now that decision to reveal information has been seen as very controversial and it's been widely criticised. home secretary suella braverman has come out and said that she she'd like to know exactly why they chose to do that. and as you mentioned just the iopc is now involved investigating that decision . in fact lancashire decision. in fact lancashire police actual
