Exactly, bbc one taken over for three hours. The only thing we would ever have in common withjoe rogan. Serious subject first. We have an inquiry out today, or the first part of an inquiry, that was looking at how Wayne Couzens, the serving metropolitan Police Officer who murdered Sarah Everard in 2021 in london, could ever have been a metropolitan Police Officer. What was it like for you, as somebody who has got political oversight of that force, reading that report . Because in every single page there was something really bad that had gone wrong over decades . Can i begin the conversation by speaking about sarah, Sarah Everard and her family, her parents and her siblings . It is important to remember her in the context of this conversation. I remember vividly the days after sarah disappeared because i live not far from where sarah disappeared from, and it was during the pandemic and my wife and daughters would go regularly for walks in and around that area. So it brings it all back,
at home safely. lung disease costs the nhs billions. ministers say more funding for research and new targets to cut pollution and smoking should make a difference. but doctors think more still needs to be done to improve and save thousands of lives. jim reed, bbc news. let s return to today s scathing review of london s metropolitan police which found it to be institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic. the report s author baronness casey said many londoners had lost faith in the metropolitan police and the force could be broken up if it didn t change. labour party leader sir keir starmer and shadow home secretary yvette cooper are giving a press conference in response to the report, let s listen in. good afternoon everyone thank you very much forjoining us. baroness casey s report today commissioned by the mayor of london is forensic, thorough and truly damning. it is deeply critical about the problems in the metropolitan police and the urgent change some of
people will continue to feel let down and fearful. a government that i lead will accept the findings of the report in full. we would work, notjust the report in full. we would work, not just with the the report in full. we would work, notjust with the met but with policing institutions and forces across the country. to ensure that deep reforms and changes are made. the new met commissioner has our support in the work the team has now began to turn around. but he must go further and faster. and he will have our support in doing that. i know that there are offices right across the met who are desperate to see those improvements put into place and action taken to rebuild the confidence. but mark my word, i will be relentless in demanding progress. the reforms needed will be as the
george floyd? i don t at all think they re compatible. as shaquille s piece said community policing has been around for decades. it s actually a concept that dates all the way back to the 1960s. so, in short, if it was going to work, it would have worked by now. and, frankly, if you need to play basketball with me or know the name of my child in order to not kill them the issue is not with me and my community, it s with the institution that policing has created. i think what is much more in line with what communities are demanding we are looking clearly at wholesale public safety. policing institutions in this country have not been very good at providing that for a long time. they re not preventing crime, they re not solving crime, and often communities are left to have to protect themselves. we should see deep investments in the things that keep communities safe from the ground up instead of continuing to
