U nfortu nately, yes, unfortunately, yes, thats right, martin, as storm lorenzo is approaching quite rapidly, we look for the next significant rainmaker coming up. I will have the details just before the bottom of the hour. Hello, this is afternoon live, im martine croxall. A damning report has strongly criticised the metropolitan police for its investigation into claims of a vip paedophile ring which never existed. Carl beech falsely claimed he was the victim of abuse by high profile politicians and senior military officers. The report says the police unlawfully obtained warrants to search the homes of suspects. Our Home Affairs Correspondent june kelly has the details. After hearing hours of allegations, police described carl beechs story as credible and true. I had poppies pinned to my chest, whilst they did whatever they wanted to do. He claimed in the 70s and 80s hed suffered sexual abuse and physical torture at the hands of a vip paedophile ring. He even said he had witnessed three boys being murdered by the group, one hit by a car. But he wouldnt wake up. He didnt move. There was a lot of blood. In fact, the tale he told was both incredible and untrue. Lord bramall, a former chief of the defence staff, was one of those beech falsely named. He claimed the ex tory mp Harvey Proctor had actually murdered two boys. Others he wrongly accused included the former home secretary lord brittan, who died during the Police Investigation, the late conservative Prime Minister sir edward heath, and the long time labour politician lord janner. The Police Investigation into the so called westminster paedophile ring went on for 18 months and ended without any arrests or charges. A senior retired judge, sir richard henriques, was brought in to review the police inquiry. Finally, his full report has been published. It details one of the most damaging episodes in the modern history of the metropolitan police. But today, the force is refusing to do any interviews. Instead, there was this statement. When we get it wrong, as we have in these circumstances, with such damaging consequences, we find it genuinely distressing. So, finally, let me be very clear. I am deeply, deeply sorry for the mistakes that were made, and for the ongoing pain that these mistakes have caused. I promise we will do all we can to prevent them happening again in the future. Deputy assistant commissioner Steve Rodhouse headed the investigation. The henriques review quotes a log that he made, acknowledging that beech, then known by the pseudonym nick, may have fabricated some or all of his allegations. Sir richard says, since hed formed that view, i am unable to see how he could properly formulate a decision to inform the public that we believe nick. Also criticised is deputy labour leader tom watson. The review says there can be no doubt that tom watson believes nick, adding that his interest created further pressure on officers. Harvey proctor believes tom watson should resign as labours deputy leader and be expelled from the party. I have icy contempt for mr beech. It is matched with my icy contempt for tom watson. And the labour party should immediately dissociate themselves from mr watson. Dolphin square, an apartment block in westminster, was one of the locations where carl beech claimed to have been abused. The review says tom watson was in a group which passed information to beech about Dolphin Square which he then used in his police interviews. Carl beech is now a convicted liar and paedophile. He has done long term damage to those whose lives and reputations he tried to destroy. But he has also raised questions about the competence and independence of the countrys leading police force in the face of political pressure. June kelly, bbc news. Lets bring you more reaction from no 10 downing st following documents published by the Scottish Court which suggests that the government will send a letter to the eu asking for an extension so that brexit doesnt occui on extension so that brexit doesnt occur on october 31 and the eu leaves without a deal if a deal isnt struck before then. Downing street still claims according to our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg they can avoid a delay to brexit evenif they can avoid a delay to brexit even if there is no deal. A no 10 source told the bbc that they are still not prevented from leaving at the end of october. The explanation goes like this. The government will comply with the benn act, that is to prevent the uk leaving the eu without a deal, which only imposes a very narrow, specific duty concerning parliaments very narrow, specific duty concerning pa rliaments letter requesting a delay, and which can be interpreted in different ways. But the government is not prevented, says this source, by the act, from doing other things that cause no delay, including other communications, private and public. So, people will have to wait and see how this is reconciled, and it finishes by saying the government is making its true position on delay known privately in europe, and this will soon become public. So, the suggestion is that those document is published by the Scottish Court in no 10s view dont tell the whole story. We will no doubt be talking about that quite a bit for the rest of the afternoon. The nhs has announced its biggest ever winter vaccination campaign. About 30 Million People nearly half the uk population will be offered the flu vaccine this year. For the first time, all Primary School pupils in england will be offered a free vaccination bringing england into line with scotland, wales and Northern Ireland. Children are whats known as super spreaders because theyre the most likely to pass the virus on to each other and to vulnerable relatives. Last year, there were nearly 1,700 flu related deaths in england. Earlier, our Health Editor hugh pym said it was an ambitious plan. It is continuing the work of recent yea rs it is continuing the work of recent years in england, adding different years in england, adding different year groups years in england, adding different yeargroups on, years in england, adding different year groups on, offering free vaccines via the nasal spray. From this year, it will be all Primary School children. The whole effort coordinated from here by Public Health england. That is, of course, simply bring england into line with scotland, wales and Northern Ireland who have adopted this policy for the last couple of years or so. It should be rolled out over the next couple of months. The orders have just started going on, so it isnt happening immediately. There has been a slight delay in the vaccine becoming available to health trusts who then go into schools and run these clinics, and that has put the whole thing back by a few weeks. We have heard in a very limited number of cases that some parents have been told that a clinic planned for this week or next week has been postponed and has been rearranged for december. These are a small number of cases, one or two concerned people have been asking about that. But Public Health england are stressing it doesnt matter whether it happens this month, next month or even into december, your child will still be protected, although obviously the flu begins to kick in from mid to late december onwards. Hugh pym. We can cross over to south wales now, where the green party is holding its Autumn Conference in newport. The co leader jonathan ba rtley is speaking so lets take a listen. I want to start by saying thank you. You know, we dont hear it often enough. So, thank you to all the leaflet deliverers and the door knockers, the activists and the councillors, thank you to the food preparers and motion writers, or most of them. The Committee Members and working groups, the staff and volunteers, you are the backbone of oui volunteers, you are the backbone of our party and we couldnt do it without each and every one of you. Applause and i want to say a special thanks to sian who is giving a speech on sunday focusing on being londons first green mayor. Go on then. Applause sian, your commitment, your passion, your determination is inspirational and it has been a pleasure to work with you over the last year. Thank you, sian. Applause and what a year it has been. I was in brussels three weeks ago meeting with the leaders of other european parties. A green wave is sweeping the continent and we are surfing it across england and wales. Truly, this has been one of the most extraordinary yea rs this has been one of the most extraordinary years in our partys history. At the beginning of may, we more than doubled our counsellors. A few weeks later, we more than doubled our meps and we have increased our presence in parliament with nataliejoining jenny increased our presence in parliament with natalie joining jenny in the house of lords. Applause the urge to bough in your presence will be even harder to resist laughter beau. We havejust hit an incredible milestone. Last week we gained our 15,000th member of the green party. Applause and in november, caledonia passed the countrys first Climate Emergency motion. Now over half of the uks principal local authorities have done the same, making it one of the Fastest Growing environmental movements in history. Applause from our new young green chairs, rosie, thomas, to caroline, holding the government to account every single day in parliament, the message is clear. Carla denyer. The oceans are rising, but so are we. Applause the spark of dissent against climate breakdown was lit many years ago by activists struggling against Oil Extraction in the global south. Campaigners here in britain campaigning outside power stations. By campaigning outside power stations. By the green politicians saying the unsayable. That an economy built on fossil fuels has catastrophic implications. And that spark has become a wildfire of revolt. With Extinction Rebellion taking the streets, youth strikers walking out of school and yes, more green politicians being elected than ever before. Applause just look at the numbers of people taking Climate Action and forcing governments to sit up and take notice. 6 million on the Global Climate strike. 100,000 on the streets of london. Over 200 different strikes across the uk, and the vast, vast majority of people saying our government isnt doing enough will stop we are here to be the megaphone of that movement, to give those people a political voice and tone those demands into action. Applause and by making the Climate Crisis a political imperative, we are defining the issue of our times. Showing the way ahead for governments all over the world. But what of this government . While the planet burns it fans the flames of hatred. Bile, bitterness and division. I am ashamed of what our country has become. But this isnt just about brexit. This is the death rattle of an old order. We are seeing the break up of the political system. The breaking apart of the economic system. The breakdown of our life support system. We have been saying it for years, we knew it was coming, and now it is here. And the question for us is how we will respond. And, conference, the answer to me, seems clear. Now is the time for complete transformation of everything. You know, when i was born a0 something years ago. Laughter we were given a dream, a vision of the future where we would create unprecedented wealth, technology and automation would mean we spent more time with our family and automation would mean we spent more time with ourfamily and our friends, where we would discover that Endless Supply of energy that was the stuff of science fiction. Well, fast forward a0 something yea rs well, fast forward a0 something years and we have created untold riches, technology has revolutionised everything, and we have discovered how to harness the wind, the sun and the tides. But instead of that vision we were promised, we work longer hours, the wealth is held by the super rich, while 1a million live in poverty and climate breakdown threatens our very existence. No wonder people are angry and want change. Because its the same failing system that has shut people out from power that has brought us to the brink of environmental catastrophe. The same system that has gutted our nhs and polluted our air, given us food banks while choking our oceans in plastic, closed borders while creating climate refugees, left people feeling helpless in a world thatis people feeling helpless in a world that is out of control. Everything needs to change. And only the green party acknowledge this is the scale of the challenge and the magnitude of the challenge and the magnitude of the challenge and the magnitude of the action that must be taken. The imperative to fight not only the threat of brexit but the conditions that have brought us brexit. And with a general election looming, a vote for the green party is the most powerful vote you can cast right now. Conference, we will fight to remain in europe, yes, but we will also fight to transform britain. Applause but the Prime Minister is still careering us towards a crash out brexit and he is willing to tear down democracy to do it. And when caught manipulating the constitution, what does he do . He laughs atjustice, he pretends he is on the side of the people. Was Cambridge Analytica on the side of the people . This is your part now. Our Dominic Cummings and Jacob Rees Mogg on the side of the people . I want to do that one again, back up the autocue. Our Dominic Cummings and Jacob Rees Mogg on the side of the people . Our politicians who lie about money for the nhs and then pursue a destructive brexit that would destroy lives on the side of the people . Audience no if they we re the people . Audience no if they were they wouldnt try to play people like pawns in a game. If they we re people like pawns in a game. If they were on the side of the people they would trust the people and give the people a peoples vote. Applause but the mask is slipping as these politicians desperately cling onto power. They know that the system has had its day and their swansong is a nasty tune, an authoritarian anthem whose sheet music is a divide and rule script, and we must resist it with every fibre in our being. Applause the political classes wont say it so we will. Learn the lessons of history. When you see the scapegoating of disabled people, of migrants, of those on benefits, injunctions against protesters, surveillance deployed against everyone, indefinite detention, the accusation that judges everyone, indefinite detention, the accusation thatjudges are enemies of the people, the denial of science, racism, sexism, notjust normalised but espoused by leaders, we cannot stay silent, we cannot compromise and we must say with one voice, no more applause and it must also involve action. The way to take on this new authoritarianism, the path to unite our country, the route to transformation of our economy must bea transformation of our economy must be a radical shift in power. And we would rebuild a democracy fit for the 21st century. Just imagine what 160 local authorities who have passed Climate Change emergency motions could do with real power. Wed give it to them. Increase in Corporation Tax to fare levels so we could reverse cuts to local Authority Budgets and they could become the engines of the Green New Deal. Fair levels. Applause real power to ban fracking, issue Green Investment bonds, renew infrastructure with low carbon alternatives, create renewable energy, build new Council Housing and insulate old homes, support green local businesses and run local transport, participatory democracy, allowing residents to form panels and Citizens Assembly is to directly input into Decision Making. Thats what taking back control looks like. Applause and we would bring transformation to the National Level too. A fossil free politics liberated from vested interests. The constitutional convention. Applause we would do a lot more. The bill of rights and a written constitution. Applause proportional representation and an elected Second Chamber. Applause and, conference, we would abolish the pernicious home office. Applause because transformation of our country demands a system that is truly representative and fair to everyone. Applause and thats why we arent taking a revoke article 50 position. We may disagree with those on the other side of the debate over europe. We may disagree with the corruption of the referendum. That is not a reason to ignore and sidelined those who voted leave. Applause we have always said
