"we are motivated by the priorities of the "british public, acting on the national interest." richard bilton, bbc news. there's much more detail about the pandora papers and what they reveal on the

independent review into the metropolitan police'5 culture and standards in an effort to try to restore public trust in the force. the move follows the conviction of wayne couzen5 who was a serving officer when he kidnapped, raped and killed sarah everard in march. cressida dick says she won't resign over the incident — but that national police vetting standards should be looked at. she was talking to our special correspondent lucy manning. the metropolitan police commissioner on patrol this morning, on the same streets that some women feel scared to walk down alone at night. she and herforce have been rocked by the crimes of wayne couzens, and are now promising to restore trust, in the first interview since couzens was sentenced. your officer kidnapped, raped and murdered a lone female, sarah everard. you were his ultimate boss. it was on your watch. why won't you resign? these events have been absolutely dreadful. they have made everybody in the met furious. and we depend on public trust, so today, i am announcing that we will be doing a review that will be led by a high profile independent person, and the review will look at our internal culture and our professional standards. some would say that is not enough, that you need to go, did you offer to resign? people will be entitled to their opinion. i've got a job to do, i'm getting on with it. myjob now is to lead the met through difficult times. couzens, seen here the night that he murdered sarah, buying things to use in the attack, but could he be stopped days earlier in the met were investigating two incidents of indecent exposure? we have an independent office of police conduct investigation. there is one thing i do want to say, which is, as far as i am aware, and this needs to be assured, by the iabc, at no stage during an investigation into indecent exposure was a police officer identified. how did couzensjoin the met firearms unit, when there had been a previous allegation of indecent exposure when he worked as an officer in kent, six years ago? what went wrong on vetting? in terms of vetting, the public will be rightly concerned. i have asked that there should be a review of national police vetting standards. couzens was not really vetted when he became a firearms officer or when he joined the metropolitan police. iam not i am not going to discuss the details. this is for the iopc to say what happened, but what i can say that there has been much speculation about an incident in kent. no police officer was arrested, charged, convicted at all. the met will allow itself to be examined, but it is not a public enquiry or the resignation that some have called for. lucy manning, bbc news. it's 17 minutes past six — the headlines: the chancellor has defended his tax rises

earning before they begin paying back their student loans is currently being considered by the government. at the moment anyone earning just over 27,000 pounds a year starts to repay their debt. but with only 25% of students expected to pay back their loan in full, there are suggestions that threshold could be reduced so that more students start repaying their debt. 0ur education editor branwen

taxpayers' share of student loans has now reached more than 50% of the total value. when earnings hitjust over £27,000, graduates repay 9% of income, above that threshold. if it was lowered to 21, or 3000, as some suggest, that would mean days start repaying sooner, and repay more. the vice chancellor tells me that it would penalise students getting a degree later in life. if would penalise

l team set out to better understand how we experience the world, how touch helps us to experience everything from our morning coffee to a hug from a loved one. you might think it is pretty obvious when a cup of coffee is too hot, or a drink is too cold, but scientists haven't actually understood fully how we experience those sensations, that is why this research is deemed to be so important. not only does it improve our understanding, but it could have huge implications for how we manage pain. the research initially came from investigating the burning sensation we feel from eating a hot chile pepper. they experimented with the sauce of actually�*s it, the chemical, capsicum. they discovered the particular receptor that responded to it. from there, the team found other receptors that respond to things like pressure. touches one of the five senses. it does something very special, because most cells in our bodies communicate through chemicals, and yet, these touch neurons have to sense physical stimuli, such as pressure and temperature, and in a way, transform this information into chemical cyclicals that cells can understand, and no one really knew how this happened — that chemical signals. places like san francisco are in the grip of an opioid crisis. more people die here in the city of drugs, mainly from fentanyl overdoses, than from covid last year. hope is that this research will allow scientists to create more targeted and perhaps even addictive pain relief in the future. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. let's take a look at the uk's latest coronavirus

that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test — although some data has been delayed. it means on average 111 deaths were announced every day in the past week. the latest figures on

you'll no longer need to take a covid test before travelling into the uk as the traffic light system is scrapped, though you will still have a to take a pcr test two days after you get back. there will now be just one list of so—called red countries, and anyone travelling to them will have to quarantine for ten days in a hotel when they return. airlines say the changes will make going abroad cheaper and easier. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith is at manchester airport this evening. good news for travellers? it is, fiona. passengers touching down behind me have to endure the greater manchester drizzle but at least life is getting easier and cheaper for them when they return home. the confusing amber list system has been completely scrapped. this is a change the industry has been calling for, all summer, coming in at the very tail end of the holiday season, but in time, for everyone who has booked a half getaway, lots of families of course put off international travel this summer because the system seemed very complicated and was hugely expensive, and a lot of fuss to get the test is completed. now there is one list of red countries. the rules have effectively stayed the same if you are returning from one of those countries. you still need to isolate, test and paid to be in a quarantine hotel whether or not you have been vaccinated. but for everywhere else in the world there is just one test to do on a smack when you are home, a pcr test, as long as your double jab. if you haven't been fully vaccinated the rules effectively stay the same for you as well. we will get an update on that red list later in the week on that red list later in the week on thursday and we could see some changes to the country is added or removed from it, but for most destinations in the world, planning a trip has now got a little bit less complicated, and you will be having to fork out a lot less for the process. time for a look at the weather with darren

tax rises and says no tax cuts until public finances allow. and facebook, instagram and whatsapp have all gone off—line this evening in a major network blackout.
