salma abdelaziz joins us now. you have this report, you also have an investigation by metropolitan police of this, which is remarkable. reporter: absolutely. these next few hours could be make or break for the prime minister because as you said, there are now two investigations into allegations that multiple parties took place right behind me here. at the prime minister s office and residence. parties across multiple lockdowns over the course of two years, the first of those investigations, of course, being led by senior civil servant, sue gray, the gray report. and that report had been sharing information throughout their investigation with the metropolitan police. and the police said yesterday, now they re launching their own probe because it seems some of these events could have potentially breached covid rules. criminal offenses could have occurred just so downing street staff could party. we could be looking at staffers just behind me here, getting fines for breaking lockdown
