with the former met police officer and mp and a chief constabulary. fighting between rival gangs has involved firearms, knives and bombs. hello, and welcome. it is a moment of reckoning forjoe biden and his party. the democrats were elected to get things done, and tonight within their grasp as a bill that could bring new life into america's creaking infrastructure. successive presidents going all the way back to reagan have tried and failed to get something like this over the line. it would in its own be a huge victory for the white house. $1 trillion further infrastructure, and yet progressives are lining up to vote against it because they cannot get a commitment from moderate democrats in the senate and the other key part ofjoe biden�*s agenda. a second and much bigger bill to inject 3.5 trillion dollars into the post—pandemic economy. they come together, or not at all. all week, nancy pelosi has been trying to bring her caucus together. we will see later tonight if she

what is the biden administration going to be able to accomplish. i going to be able to accomplish. i said that successive presidents have tried to pass this. it is no secret that the world's leading

infrastructure. i think- that is right. the united states has always had a couple of things working against it on the infrastructure side. it is so physically large and we don't like high taxes so that combination has made it often neglected these type of investments. whenjoe biden was vice president and i worked with him, he has always been kind of a muscular, new dealers, let's have the government make these big investments type of person. i think he would very much want to pass a bill like this. as you said from the outset, this is something that administration after administration has had the idea that they wanted to do, but they have not been able to get it across the finish line. i think they probably will be able to reach some compromise, and if they do i think it will be a pretty significant achievement. if they are not able to, i think that will be a pretty heavy setback. the not able to, i think that will be a pretty heavy setback.— pretty heavy setback. the $3.5

presidential campaigns in the united states and for literally a year, joe biden ran on this as his platform. he was quite specific through the entire summer of 2020 going into the full presidential election. exactly what he said that he thought the united states needed to spend more money on. now he has largelyjust propose the thing that he ran on, so i do think that there is a certain oddity to it. you can see the biden people saying look, use he said he was going to do this. he took the house, he took the senate he took the white house and now he wants to do what he said he was going to do. but you know, it always comes down to the last couple of votes. you have to have 50% of you can't do it. i of votes. you have to have 50% of you can't do it— you can't do it. i want to get your

years ago in 2011 and 2013 when they had these kind of fights before. i don't quite know how you get out of this. the us is the only major economy in the world that has a completely goofy feature that the congress and the president pass laws. they vote on them and say they want to spend this much cut taxes by that much. after the fact, they then have a debt ceiling that, in theory, it would be like if you had a credit card and you rack to pull the charges and took the stuff home, and then you said, actually, i don't want to pay the bill. that's actually what the fighters about the debt ceiling.

crucial evening. they have all been down pennsylvania avenue over the last few days and joe biden has been playing a role of political emissary, and last night the political has secretary said it could be like an episode of the west wing or an episode of the where they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. which is it going to be? i think folks are going to come together. right now, we are still in recovery. i think what you see and feel today on the hill is that people have come together. you are seeing folks coming together and saying we are going to move this to december three. there is momentum and pelosi is quite crafty at figuring out how to bring folks together and not ring the bell until it is ready. i think that is what you are seeing right now. but biden is there and has been in the senate and knows it always comes down to the wire and here we are again. at least for a day, these last several hours seeing those votes come up, it is good news on the right moment mmt

there is no doubt that she has having individual strategies and here. do you have a full democratic vote, do you have movement, whereas that line, and just knowing his style and her way, she will

forest and after failing to return, his wife and friends alerted the local authorities and fortunately, he happened upon this search and making his way to the forest and he joined the search and making his way to the forest and hejoined the ranks without realising who they were or who they were looking for. and only came to light when the search party started calling out his name. to which he responded, oh, here. fantastic. i love it. to stay with us. plenty coming on the programme and the much more serious issues, we are of great panel of guests coming in and said to stay with us for now. good morning. new month but unfortunately not a new weather story. it looks likely at the beginning of october will be quite an autumnal, unsettled picture with some rain at times and there will be some rain at times and there will be some brighter interludes as well. but the winds certainly feature with plenty of leaves coming down over the next few days. as you can see, friday's weather will continue to see this frontal system moving in over the next few hours and a means first thing on friday morning, it still has it the clear away from the southeast and will do so and in the afternoon we should see some sunshine coming through. a better second half to the day. there'll be plenty of frequent showers accompanied by a blustar of the wind and western coast of scotland and northern ireland in northwest england. temperatures ranging from 11 to 18 c. as we move out of friday into saturday, low pressures anchoring itself to the far north of scotland and we have another developing low on the far southwest and i will bring a spell of and windy weather and moving into the south was gradually pushing its way northwards and the day dry and it's highly unlikely that you will finish the day drive because that rain is going to continue to continue to push its way steadily north and east. maybe the front of the feast of scotland was to some brightness for much of the day but the wind is picking up and costs in excess of 45 to 50mph and expose coasts and i will make you feel disappointing in the cloud. the wind in the rain. but moving at a saturday into sunday, that frontal

ago. the british police officer who murdered sarah everard will die in jail after a judge sentenced him to day two at full life term. wayne couzens pretended to arrest sarah after she was walking home in march. he kidnapped her and then raped and killed her. the head of the met apologise to have friends and family today. she said for some people his actions may have damaged a precious fund of trust with police. sarah everard was, thejudge said, simply walking home. for herfamily, nothing can make things better, nothing can bring sarah back, they said, but the rapist/murderer policeman will never be released — and herfamily said that brings some relief. this moment, using his position of trust and privilege as a police officer to falsely arrest the 33—year—old, his arm out holding his warrant card, his use of handcuffs, persuaded thejudge he should die in prison. the misuse of a police role to murder a lone victim needed the greatest punishment. in the dock, couzens, as he had done throughout, kept his head down. he started shaking as thejudge sentenced him, with sarah's family looking on. lord justice fulford told wayne couzens, "you kidnapped, raped and murdered sarah everard, having long planned a violent sexual assault. you have eroded the confidence the public is entitled to have in its police forces. you have considerably added to the insecurity felt by people, perhaps particularly women. i have seen no evidence of genuine contrition." thejudge condemned his lies. his behaviour, calmly buying snacks after raping and murdering sarah and coolly letting his children play in the woods where he'd dumped her remains. should the police not have detected a murderer in their ranks? and how can women regain trust in them? this man has brought shame on the met. speaking frankly, as an organisation, we have been rocked. i absolutely know that there are those who feel their trust in us is shaken. there are no words that can fully express the fury and overwhelming sadness that we all feel about what happened to sarah. i am so sorry. no response to questions about whether she should resign. i think she's shown that she is not the person to lead the change that is necessary. she should resign because she cannot be the metropolitan police commissioner that takes these changes forward. but as the politicians promise change and the police chiefs apologise, are women forever condemned to walk the streets in fear? i say this notjust as the home secretary but i say this as a woman — all of us want to feel safe and be safe. that is absolutely a right that we have, and with that, of course, the police need to engage in the right way and they'll be held to account. sarah everard lived her last hours in terror, but the final thoughts of her family are of a time before. in a statement, they said... their daughter never wanted to start a national debate about violence against women. she just wanted to get home safely. lucy manning, bbc news. sandy served for 30 years in the metropolitan police rising to the rank of chief superintendent. she left a few years ago. a lot of people have talked about the misogyny within the police force. is it that culture, do you believe, that allowed wayne couzens to go undetected and commit the murder that he did?— that he did? there is a culture within the _ that he did? there is a culture within the metropolitan - that he did? there is a culture within the metropolitan police | within the metropolitan police service and i would say right across the country where most of your colleagues are male, and as a female, if you don't go along with some of thejokes, female, if you don't go along with some of the jokes, which are risque, you are accused of not being one of the team, its only banter,

and wales which is the area that they had looked into with regard to the fact that violence against women and girls in all of its forms is simply not prioritise properly. it is not given the resources and the political priority that it needs for anything to actually change. and i'm afraid to actually change. and i'm afraid to say that the metropolitan police in their statement saying this streets

actually received some details from the met this evening in an e—mail that has gone to all members of parliament that there are definite gaps and even their explanation of that because it does say he was feted and would not have thrown up any vetting. there does seem to be a gap in what data was kept on any incidents about him weather about what his collings were saying about him as to what you have referred to orany him as to what you have referred to or any other incidents, previous incidents of indecent exposure. they reiterate that it would not have thrown anything in the vetting. i have to find — i have to say that i find that incredibly worrying that evenif find that incredibly worrying that even if they had known that it would not have thrown up any issues in the vetting. i will be asking the home secretary to look at exactly what is going on in the vetting processes and the reporting processes and the scrutiny of police officers and how that gets done. it seems astonishing to me that even under investigation for the weeks prior to the murder of sarah everard that wayne couzens was not suspended, for example. i'm not expecting him to be fired without investigation, but the complaint that came up against him, if that was a member of my staff working with vulnerable people there would be an immediate suspension. great to have ou be an immediate suspension. great to have

within the police forces and not enough is being done about them and in my last annual report ofjuly this year, i drew attention to this considerable problem of the police and resources and the capacity and capabilities of the performance of their anti— corruptions. not in every single respect, but the quality of investigations carried out and indeed the seniority and the experience of the investigators the detectives were assigned to those units, that needs to be reviewed and improved. also, when a police officers going through their probationary period, and too many respects, we believe the telltale signs of being ignored or downplayed and the probationary period, if the adverse signs are identified, a fondness for violence, misogyny, racism, a fondness of acquiring a position of power over your fellow citizens and notjust have the pleasure of exercising that power in the can go farfar pleasure of exercising that power in the can go far far further than that. when these signs are identified, they need to be properly assessed and if necessary, if the attitudes and behaviour of these are found wanting, then they should be thrown out. police regulations enable them to do so. and to me respects, we believe that is not happening and of course, if they're allowed to become fully fledged constables, then you're screwing up a problem which may last for many

budgets did not matter. but already the bill had passed to limit campaign expenses in the �*905 and it still was not a habit and there was an unconsciousness of the fact whereas nowadays, the experiences and an army of people scrutinising political expenses and i know that i was at that rally and i did not think of questioning how much it would cost of the time. i was wrong. the second one

next week and the ten o'clock news is coming up on road news and it's world news america! spells of wind and rain and that is exactly what we have at the moment. and we will come october with the views of pumpkins and spells of wind and rain. we have it all going on at the moment. and with an area of low pressure closed by the uk for friday and the main rain clearing away and freddie were trying to be a sunnier day and still blustering with showers around. when the rain clears away at the far southeast of england, elsewhere is sunshine and showers and these are most frequently in northern ireland but especially in western scotland where it will emerge to give longer spells of rain and all in the day with a strong gust of wind with corridor in scotland and northern ireland, southeast england never has cleared away. the focus on the weekend is less deserving of low pressure. more on this one developing and moving them the southwest and still a lot to play for in the condition of this, who was the heaviest rain and just how strong the wind is going to be but it is a risk of gals and places and outdoor plants and keeping over the forecast, and some wind gusts, the strongest wind gusts will be felt across england and wales and the risk of coastal gaels has for temperatures throughout the weekend, it is mid to low teens. turning wetter and windier on saturday, the area of the pressure looks like it would deepen as it continues to push its way northwards going into sunday. leaving on sunday, the wettest windiest weather in scotland and gals again especially in the north. it will be windy elsewhere still but it will be brighter and showers moving in northern ireland with eastern wales and england with the brightest spells of sunshine and temperatures in the mid to low teens. as the latest move of pressure comes, a gap between weather systems and whether brighter days again will be some sunshine around and showers, most noticeable coming into western parts of the uk and very brisk gusts of wind to come up with the shows will track further east as we go to the day. and many will see some sunshine. a leader in the day, we notice another area of rain bearing down on southwest england and wales and with that, the wind will strengthen once again. that is another area of low pressure heading our way and this one will track right into the uk and into tuesday. something to play for the position of this are the ones will be strongest and most of the heaviest rain and how far north it's going to get but it looks like there'll be bands of rain or shower around there with gales bands of rain or shower around there with gates in place. but perhaps some of the rain will pull away eastwards later in the day. but i'm side of that depends on what is going on long way across the atlantic. fred is few and the atlantic. fred is few and the atlantic in the pressure was hurricane. hurricane sam but it will gradually move its way further north as we go through this weekend and into next week. it will become x hurricane sam. the remnants of hurricane sam. the remnants of hurricane sam. the remnants of hurricane sam in this area of low pressure will track towards the uk later next week. how close it gets will determine how much whether we get from it. far away, we made to see a rich high—pressure building settling things and turning things bit warmer and if he gets closer, that means another spell of wind and rain. we will keep an eye on that and keep you updated. there may be uncertainty boy goes on with that right now, we know it is autumn full swing. tonight at ten. the metropolitan police officer who kidnapped, raped and murdered sarah everard will die injail. a8 year old wayne couzens was handed a whole life sentence — meaning he will die in prison. thejudge said the the judge said the seriousness of his crime was so high it warranted the harshest penalty. sarah everard was walking home when couzens pretended to arrest her, then handcuffed and later killed her. the head of the metropolitan police said his crime is constituted one of the most dreadful events in the history of the force. this man has brought shame on the met. speaking frankly, as an organisation, we have been rocked. sarah's family said nothing can make things better but knowing he will be imprisoned forever brings some relief. also tonight... the government's furlough scheme — which saved millions ofjobs
