Secondarily, there is a project about turning on subtitles as default which we have asked about in this committee in the past. I gather there would be a limited test to check out the costing of it. I wonder where we are with that. If i could leave you with one point. Talking about differentiation, i get that, there are many commercial organisations that are two aspects of educational content, some of which competes quite directly with bite size, whereas your organisation can do something that many others cannot, which is make great Telly And Audio and call on your archive. I totally agree with the last point. We are very sensitive. I dont want to be offering provision that bumps into competitors. If i may, i will write back to you on those two issues with the facts.

I want to talk about the general Ethos And Culture of the bbc. I worry about public perception. Afterjimmy savile, Martin Bashir, accusations of bias from all sides and as you have said today, mr davie, it is now your watch. We have had for a long time now this feeling that perhaps the bbc is complacent, it has a smugness. It doesnt seem to matter who the person lr, the bbc as a corporate identity seems to be protecting itself, keeping the Status Quo whatever the cost no matter who the person is at the top. Would you agree . I matter who the person is at the top. Would you agree . Would you agree . I think if you are in the bbc now would you agree . I think if you are in the bbc now under would you agree . I think if you are in the bbc now under my would you agree . I think if you are l in the bbc now under my leadership, the idea that there is notjeopardy for us as an organisation in terms of as soon as the internet opens up distribution so you dont have a Default Right to an audience, if you have two out of the four channels that you would get, that can breed corporate complacency, but i think the idea in the current bbc that people arent aware of the jeopardy, our need to serve Licensee Payers with some humility, the tone we take externally, the way we listen to people, the way we partner with people, the way we partner with people, the way we partner with people, the way we really engage different views, has got to evolve at many institutions like ourselves, and i take your challenge, but i do think we are a bit better in terms of if you went round and talk to the leadership of the bbc, the top managers, there is a programme of reform and i think we are under way. I am encouraged by some of our metrics. Remember, the bbc still gets to 90 of all of the population every week. That is held really well this year. Obviously we have had the Lockdown Dynamics there. The value ascribed to the bbc, this is an institution that has taken a 30 Cut Institution that has taken a 30 cut in real terms, the value we are delivering, and not everyone is happy delivering, and not everyone is ha ~. , delivering, and not everyone is ha. ,. ,. , delivering, and not everyone is happy.

Without enormous share of the audience that you have, happy. Without enormous share of the audience that you have, there i the audience that you have, there comes huge responsibility to be balanced. Your letter to our chairman on the 26th of may, and i quote from it here, you say in order for the bbc to retrain the high level of trust from the people of the bbc and around the world, it demands that the bbc reflects on itself. That to me of further corporate complacency. Has that horse not already bolted . Should it not be that the bbc in order to regain the high levels of trust it once had, there is more work to be done, because ijust worry once had, there is more work to be done, because i just worry that once had, there is more work to be done, because ijust worry that it is going to go On And On And on. We have had your predecessors here, now it is your watch. I have had your predecessors here, now it is your watch it is your watch. I take the point. You can look it is your watch. I take the point. You can look at it is your watch. I take the point. You can look at this it is your watch. I take the point. You can look at this two it is your watch. I take the point. You can look at this two ways. I it is your watch. I take the point. I you can look at this two ways. From a comparative Point Of View versus other outlets in terms of globally we can still be very proud of the trust in the bbc, and i happen to think the way we have covered topics such as the pandemic, the local and national elections, we have delivered well. That should not come across as Complacency Or Argument across as Complacency Oi argument oi across as Complacency Or Argument or arrogance. Your across as Complacency Or Argument or arrogance. Your points are valid, we should be thinking about how we safeguard trust at all costs. That is what makes these incidents are hard for us. My number one priority when i am looking at ensuring that every household in the uk gets good value for their £159, My Number One priority was impartiality, and that links to trust. These things do damage us. We need to earn your way out of that day in and day out with thousands of hours of flawless broadcasting. I take the challenge. When i worked at the bbc it was one of four channels and it had enormous power and huge trust. I would say that has been eroded and you have a very hard road ahead of you because you have all that competition. Thank you have all that competition. Thank you for your reassurance. Word reaches me that the team at Bbc Millbank that serves local tv, local Radio And Online is being chopped in half, from nine people down to four people. That will impact on the ability to report on what mps are doing. If this is the case, why . We are doing. If this is the case, why . Are making some changes to bbc news. The Staff Total is about 5,000. We are looking at two things. One is the organisation will be a little smaller, i think the latest numbers are around 250, but we do believe. We are going to leave that Evidence Session there looking into the case of Martin Bish Martin Bashir and the interview with Princess Diana in the interview with Princess Diana in the late 1990s. That was Tim Davey Given evidence along with the bbc chairman, richard sharpe. Lets get more on the report into the death of private Investigator Daniel Morgan. An independent panel has accused the Metropolitan Police of A Form Of Institutional Corruption for concealing or denying failings over the unsolved murder. In 1987, the private investigator was found dead the Car Park of the Lion Pub in South London with an axe in his head. Despite five police inquiries and an inquest, no one has been convicted of his murder. The chair of The Panel, baroness nuala oloan, says the Metropolitan Polices first objective was to protect itself for not acknowledging its many failings since Daniel Morgans murder. From the moment of his murder, there were serious failures of investigation, both at the scene, which was never searched, and during the first investigation. In many respects, that investigation was not compliant with the policies and procedures in force at the time. Many opportunities to gather evidence were irretrievably lost during that first investigation. The Forensic Work was described by a Senior Officer in the second investigation as pathetic. Three other investigations and several operations and reviews have occurred since 1987. They are all detailed in our report. From the beginning, as you know, there were allegations that Police Officers were involved in the murder, and that corruption by Police Officers played a part in protecting the murderers from being brought tojustice. By not acknowledging or confronting, over the 3a years since the murder, its systemic failings or the failings of individual officers, by making incorrect assertions about the quality of investigations, and by its lack of candour, which is evident from the materials we have examined, we believe that the Metropolitan Polices first objective was to protect itself. In so doing, it compounded the Suffering And Trauma of the family. The Metropolitan Police were not honest in their dealings with Daniel Morgans family or the public. The family and the public are owed an apology. The family of Daniel Morgan made a statement, read by their Family Lawyer Raju bhatt. It said the report was an accurate reflection of their experience. No family should have to go through what we have had to suffer over these decades. No family should have to find, as we did, that our confidence was betrayed by those to whom we should be able to turn for help. No family should be cut adrift in the way that we were left to fend for ourselves in the face of the most serious criminality that can be imagined. No family should have to bear the immense and indescribable cost we have paid in terms of our health, emotional, physical and otherwise. Above all, no family should be left to find, as we do, that we are no longer able to place our trust in the police, in the state, or any other form of authority in this country. Three generations of our family have already suffered as the Collateral Damage resulting from the inexcusable failure of the institutions of the state to do what was required of them in the face of institutional lies to police corruption. We do not want this burden to be passed on to the coming generations of our family. We want to be able to get on with our lvies at long last, but that requires some form of accountability on the part of those who have failed us. To that end, we say this to the current hierarchy in the Metropolitan Police. You have to stop protecting those who came before you, those who, at best, deliberately turned away from the stench of police corruption, those who sought to manage the fallout from that corruption instead of confronting it. You know that senior Police Officers sought to prevent us ever understanding what really happened in this case. You can no longer be blind to these facts in light of the findings in The Panels report. Any failure on your part to address the culture of corruptiOn And Cover Up identified with The Panel will serve only to demonstrate your own complicity in that corruption. We say this to the Home Secretary and the current government. It is not too late for you to give us reason to trust you in relation to this case. We hope that you might yet find in yourselves the integrity and the will required to confront and acknowledge the culture of corruptiOn And Cover Up in the Metropolitan Police, as identified by The Panel. We look to you to ensure that all those responsible for this State Of Affairs are compelled to confront and acknowledge their failures for once and for all. In a statement to the commons, Home Seceretary Priti patel said it was one of the most devastating episodes in the history of the Metropolitan Police. Daniel Morgans Family have waited eight years for this report. It is devastating that 34 years after he was murdered, nobody has been brought tojustice. The Report Sets out findings from its review of the last three decades. Its over 1,200 pages long and three volumes. It is right that we carefully review its findings. Mr speaker, the report itself is deeply alarming and finds examples of corrupt behaviour, not limited to the first investigation, that the Metropolitan Police made a litany of mistakes and that this irreparably damaged the chances of successful prosecution of Daniel Morgans murder. The report accuses the Metropolitan Police of A Form Of Institutional Corruption. Police corruption is a betrayal of Everything Policing stands for in this country. It erodes public confidence in our entire criminaljustice system. It undermines democracy and civilised society. We look to the police to protect others, and so they are invested with great power. The overwhelming majority of officers use it on honourably, but those who use their power for immoral ends do terrible harm, as do those who indulge, Cover Up or ignored police corruption. This is one of the most devastating episodes in the history of Metropolitan Police. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said we deeply regret that no one has been convicted of daniels murder. We have not stopped pursuing justice. We accept corruption was a major factor in the failure of the 1987 investigation. This compounded the pain suffered by Daniels Family and for this we apologise. The report is extremely detailed covering 3a years and multiple police operations. We will respond in more detail later today. The first minister for wales, mark drakeford, has set up his governments plans for the next five years, following Labours Success in the senedd election. But Opposition Parties say the proposals do not go far enough. The first minister says his programme for government is about translating the manifesto promises that one Welsh Labour at the welsh parliament elections into a statement of the actions that the new government will take to achieve those promises. Some of them are measurable commitments, so paying workers in Care Homes the real living wage, for example, or 20,000 new social homes for rent. Others are less easily measured. Recovering from Covid 19 for example, tackling charm climate change, prioritising mental health. The document doesnt spell out the details of how those things will be achieved or what success will look like. The Opposition Parties say that this document is pretty thin considering the challenges that wales faces over the next five years. You do have to remember that although Welsh Labour secured an impressive set of results back in the elections in may, they didnt win a majority of seats, so Mark Dreyfus will have to reach out to the Opposition Parties if he wants to achieve things like clean Air Legislation or reforming council tax. He is also hoping that the Uk Government will stick to its deadline publishing its plans for social reform by The End of the year. Mr Drake Ford says the interface of who controls what in the united kingdom, so benefits are controlled in london for example while power over care Homes Rest in cardiff, he says that interface makes it very difficult for welsh government to do something like Reform Social Care on its own without knowing what the plan is across the border. So in this programme for government, mark Drake Ford is setting out the direction of travel, what it isnt is a detailed road map. Heres a couple of words which most parents and their children probably hoped wed heard the last of � home schooling. Sadly, the spread of the Delta Variant means that a growing number of pupils are being told to isolate at home. Ellie price has been to a couple of schools to see how the students, teachers and parents are coping with the ongoing disruption. Its happening again. The corridors at Birchfields Primary School in manchester are getting quieter. Heres a couple of words which most parents and their children probably and teachers are having to sort out the Home Learning kits once again. In the last four weeks, four Class Bubbles were sent home and told to isolate because one family had tested positive. Thats 180 pupils, and its all too familiar for parents. Today we got a Text Saying that we had to collect the kids. 0h, Here We Go Again yeah, but i think because its happened a few times now, i think parents are used to it now. We are very worried about it in general because this is the Delta Variant, isnt it . And its the not knowing, really. I suffered from covid myself, i was hospitalised with it and was quite poorly with it. So you just worry for your children. The Head Teacher said there had been no cases between february and may, but more recently covid is making a comeback. A lot of the children have been asymptomatic. So this isnt about the childrens health, because, as i say, a lot of them have been asymptomatic, but its about the disruption to their education. But we have to take all of these precautions because we dont Want Transmission to get out into the community even more so, and we want to be able to educate our children in the normal way, not the new normal way. A few hundred miles away, covid levels on this bit of the Sussex Coast are very low in comparison. But students at Seaford Head Secondary School agree with teachers, even though current guidelines mean they dont have to, they have kept most of the safety measures in place. And that includes wearing masks in the corridor, and for some students, if they choose, even in the classroom. Theres about two or three for each class, but really theres quite a good culture around it, i think people understand why other people continue to wear their mask. It could be because theyre scared of covid or theyre trying to protect a family relative, or i think for some people itjust makes them feel secure. Theres security too in the lateral flow tests. Students and teachers should be taking them twice a week. Theres always a Monday Morning panic of, have i done the test yet . Have i done it before breakfast . So its hard to remember them but we get them done. And it makes you feel better, does it, that everyone is doing them . Yeah, yeah, definitely. A lot of people are trying to do it, even if some people might forget, they dont need to, just to be considerate of others. Everyone has experienced different stuff, i know my mum had it in the first lockdown. So that kind of made me realise that its not a joke. The school says it has plans in place to switch to remote learning at a days notice if they had to send a whole year group home. But its obviously something they want to avoid. Weve seen more kind of young people who are more anxious about being in social situations or maybe wanting to attend school, and certainly feeling the pressure and some of these emotions are slightly overwhelming them. We are very fortunate we have quite an extensive pastoral team here, weve got a number of therapists and counsellors on staff which we feel really lucky, we are able to help support those young people. But weve definitely seen a marked increase since the second lockdown. Back in manchester, its The End of the School Day but what this pandemic has already shown is that too much home time is taking its toll. I just hope that everybody who can have a vaccine goes and has their vaccine. And also, if any sort of symptom where you think that there might be a problem, please go and have a test.

The Metropolitan Police accepts that corruption was a major factor in its failure to solve the murder of private Investigator Daniel Morgan over 30 years ago, and apologises to his family. The force was accused of a form of institional Corru Ption following a report. From the moment of his murder, there were serious failures of investigation, both at the scene which was never searched and during the first investigation. The Home Secretary told mps that a deeply alarming report into mr Morgans Murder revealed a litany of mistakes that irreparably damaged the chances of successful prosecution. Police corruption is a betrayal of Everything Policing stands for in this country. It erodes public confidence in our entire criminaljustice system. It undermines democracy and civilised society
