good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... the damning report into britain's biggest police force — the metropolitan police — is accused of failing those it's meant to protect. institutional racism, institutional sexism, institutional misogyny and homophobia are definitely present across the organisation. there are now calls to break up the met. the prime minister gives his response to breakfast. if your daughter said to you over the breakfast table, "dad, can i trust the police in london? what do you say to them?" of course.

we need the answer to that question to be yes. but is the answer yes? well, clearly at the moment, trust in the police has been hugely damaged by the things that we've discovered over the past year. even your trust? everybody's trust. we also speak to rishi sunak about the cost of living, immigration and the fate of his predecessor borisjohnson. and in other news... the health divide. why deaths from lung conditions like asthma are three times higher in some parts of the uk than others. a little less of every little helps. tesco becomes the latest retailer to reduce the bonuses of its reward scheme. supermarkets are making savings too. what does it mean for you? and another very mild march day at there today. we will see a few sunny spells around compared with yesterday. the full forecast here on

breakfast. it's tuesday, 21st march. "institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic." those are the findings of a damning review of the metropolitan police published this morning. baroness casey's report says that a boy's club culture is rife and the force has failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women. the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley, said the report prompted feelings of "shame and anger" but also increased his resolve to bring about change. our special correspondent, lucy manning reports. let's remember how all this began. sarah everard walking home — kidnapped, raped and murdered by a met police officer. it shocked then and this report is frightening. a force that is broken, failing. there is, without doubt, a discriminatory culture right across the metropolitan police. and i think that institutional racism, institutional sexism, institutional misogyny and homophobia are definitely present

across the organisation. we think the met is not able to assure all of us that its officers are of sufficient integrity and standards to be serving police officers, so it needs to clean itself up. the met has lost the consent to police, the report believes. it can't protect its own female gay and minority ethnic staff and it can't provide adequate policing for these groups when they're victims of crime. for too long, the met has had predatory officers and a culture of denial about the scale of its problems. the details set out in this report of a broken force are frankly horrific. rape evidence that had to be discarded because the fridges in police stations didn't work. a sikh officer who had his beard cut by colleagues, a muslim officer, who found bacon in his boots and female officers routinely targeted and humiliated

by their male counterparts. cousens and carrick, the met�*s murderer and its rapist. baroness casey clear those who have the powers to search, arrest and detain need to have the trust and confidence of those they police. so this needs to be a landmark moment. the commissioner of the met apologetic, promising change, but not accepting every word of the report, despite baroness casey's plea to do so. it's disturbing. it's upsetting. it's heartbreaking. i apologise to those who've suffered as a consequence. do you accept baroness casey's findings that the force is institutionally racist, institutionally misogynistic and institutionally homophobic? i accept her diagnosis about the racism, misogyny, homophobia in the organisation, and also that we have these systemic failings, management failings and culturalfailings. i understand her use

of the term institutional. it's not a term i use myself. shabnam chaudhri was a detective superintendent in the met and lived through some of the racism the review highlights. there were officers that were outrightly racist towards me and then there were those that had the banter. but there was a particular officer, for example, who whenever i was out of the room, referred to me as the p, with the p word, and it's only my colleagues that actually told me. she believes the met must change from the top to the bottom. my message to mark rowley is implement your systems and processes, ensure that your leadership is strong, ensure that leadership is supported at every level. ensure that those who want to whistle blow can speak out, so that you can root out the dirty, rotten apples that sit within your organisation that have a huge detrimental impact on trust and confidence. reports have come, commissioners have gone and still the met hasn't changed. the warning is this

is its last chance. if it doesn't, it could face being broken up. for too long, it has failed too many — the very people who need protecting. victims of crime. black and asian communities, women and children. people just walking home. lucy manning, bbc news. in an exclusive interview with bbc breakfast, the prime minister rishi sunak said the failings at the force have been damaging. you talked in the past about worries over your children's safety. if your children said over the breakfast table, dad, can i trust the police in london? what would you say to them? we in london? what would you say to them? ~ ., , ., ,, can them? we need the answer to ps. can ou trust them? we need the answer to ps. can you trust them? _ them? we need the answer to ps. can you trust them? just _ them? we need the answer to ps. can you trust them? just in _ them? we need the answer to ps. can you trust them? just in the _ them? we need the answer to ps. can you trust them? just in the place - you trust them? just in the place has been hugely _

wallace lockhart reports. he's five months into thejob of prime minister. last week, he watched his chancellor deliver the budget, scrapping the lifetime limit on tax—free pension savings. the aim is to ensure doctors take on more work. others say it's a gift to high earners. in the budget, you gave a big tax boost to some of the richest people in the country in their pension pots. this is about cutting waiting lists. you know, at this point, think about it. i'm sure almost every person watching this has in their extended circle of friends and family, someone who is waiting for treatment. we need our best doctors, our experienced doctors. we need them working. and they want to work. they want to help get the waiting list down. they want to work longer hours. they don't want to retire. and because of the pension regime, they were stopped from doing that. it was preventing them from doing that. and i want to get the waiting list down, and that's why we've made

the change that we've made. and it's going to benefit everyone to get health care quicker. fair pay! when do we want it? now! a fresh pay offer to nhs staff after waves of strikes could also help with waiting lists. but where's the money coming from? is that new money or is that coming from existing nhs money? it rightly recognises all of those nhs workers for the incredible job they do, whilst also being affordable for the taxpayer and allowing us to deliver on our promises to halve inflation, as we've been talking about, and cut the waiting lists. is it new money? we'll always make sure that the nhs is well—funded. and actually... is it new money? the nhs does have new money, yes, it has £14 billion. another of the prime minister's key priorities is to stop small boats crossing the channel. but there's a slight reluctance to spell out a specific target for next year. 45,000 people crossed illegally to our country last year. so that... crucially, i think people know why you're doing it. i think they want to know what you can get it down to. what is acceptable to you?

well, no, illegal migration is acceptable, of course not. so you genuinely are going to stop the boats — no more boats. of course. that's what we're trying to do. i don't think anyone would sit here and say to you that they tolerate any illegal migration. of course we don't want to tolerate any illegal migration. borisjohnson will be quizzed tomorrow by a committee of mps, trying to determine if he misled parliament in his statements about downing street parties. if that committee recommends a sanction, the commons will vote on it. but the prime minister won't tell his mps what to do. these are matters for parliament and the house and mp as individuals rather than for government. so that is the general process that we would follow. talking of processes, boris johnson�*s allies say that this whole process is unfair, that it's a witch hunt. do you agree? look, that's ultimately something for boris johnson, and he'll have the committee process to go through. and that's a matter for parliament. that's not what i'm focused on. it may not be what rishi sunak is focused on, but the spectre of a former prime minister still hangs around.

david wallace lockhart, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent, nick eardley, joins us now. morning to you. it is an interesting watch. what do you make of what the prime minister had to say? i think it is pretty clear, when you watch the full interview, what rishi sunak wants to talk about what he doesn't want to talk about. he is absolutely state his future on repairing the economy, getting inflation down and getting living standards contract. it is worth pointing out inflation was always expected to come down this year anyway but rishi sunak is making an argument to bbc breakfast viewers that if you get inflation down for that if you get inflation down for that will help with some of the challenges everybody is facing with their bills and things like that this morning. he always has a laser

focus on the goals he came up with at the start of the year. when you watch the full interview, it is almost funny how many times he tries to mention all five of them almost in relation to any question he is asked. that is partly because there is a reluctance to talk about some other stuff. is a reluctance to talk about some otherstuff. he is a reluctance to talk about some other stuff. he doesn't want to talk about borisjohnson, despite the fact his predecessor is getting a lot of attention this week ahead of that appearance before mps tomorrow. we will also see his submission, his evidence on why he does not think he misled parliament over parties later today. rishi sunak does not want to talk about boris johnson, today. rishi sunak does not want to talk about borisjohnson, he does not really want to talk about dominic raab either, the deputy prime minister, who is facing the bullying allegations which could come to a head soon. it is going to be hard for rishi sunak to avoid some of the tricky stuff. yes, he wants to talk about the things he thinks he will be judged

wants to talk about the things he thinks he will bejudged on, the economy, nhs, small boats, as you head in david's piece. also some awkward stuff coming as well and eventually he will have to engage with it. he eventually he will have to engage with it. , . eventually he will have to engage with it. y . ., with it. he very much indeed for that analysis. _ with it. he very much indeed for that analysis. nick— with it. he very much indeed for that analysis. nick is _ with it. he very much indeed for that analysis. nick is right, - with it. he very much indeed for. that analysis. nick is right, pretty obvious what he wanted to talk about and what he did not want to talk about. and you can see more of that interview with the prime minister just after eight o'clock. president putin has told his chinese counterpart, xi jinping, that he's studied in detail his proposals for ending the war in ukraine. he was speaking at the beginning of president xi's first visit to moscow since the invasion began last year. putin says he is "always open" to negotiation, but us officials have warned that the chinese peace plan could be a delaying tactic. thousands of rail workers have voted to accept a new pay offerfrom network rail, bringing to an end a long—running despute overjobs,

pay and conditions. the deal will see pay rises for signal workers and maintenance staff. but the agreement does not cover the rmt�*s dispute with the train operating companies, with plans for two more strikes next week. the family of a headteacher, who took her own life after an ofsted inspection have called for a change to a regime they say is "punitive." ruth perry died injanuary after working at caversham primary school for 13 years. it was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate after a visit from inspectors. aru na iyengar reports. ruth perry, headteacher of caversham primary in reading, described the ofsted inspection in november as the worst day of her life. her family says she was under intolerable pressure when she was told the school was rated inadequate. this one—word judgement was just destroying 32 years of her vocation. education was her vocation.

now unions and school leaders are asking for changes. dr mary bousted from the national education union said ofsted should pause its inspections and reflect upon the unmanageable and counter—productive stress they cause for school leaders and the impact on leaders. one executive head teacher at a nearby school said she refused entry to ofsted inspectors and called on parents to show support. but that visit will now go ahead this morning. while schools do need to be monitored, i think that something does need to be looked into this and perhaps changes do need to be made where there's a bit less pressure kind of put on schools. you have got to stand up and be counted, don't you? otherwise, people... that's how change happens. matthew purvis, ofsted's regional directorfor the south east, said...

a petition calling for changes to the inspection system has so far gathered more than 90,000 signatures. the department for education said inspections are hugely important, as they hold schools to account for their educational standards. caversham primary�*s report is yet to be published on the ofsted website. meanwhile, the school is grieving for its head teacher. aruna iyengar, bbc news. northern ireland's democratic unionist party is set to vote against a key part of the government's new deal on trading arrangements following brexit. its leader sirjeffrey donaldson says he will continue to work with the government on "outstanding issues." but downing street say there are no plans for substantial changes to the deal as mps prepare to vote on the plans. new protests have broken out in france after the government narrowly survived a vote of no—confidence over its pension reforms. more than 100 people were arrested as people set fire to bins and piles of rubbish. the confidence vote in parliament

was much closer than expected — just nine short of the number needed to bring down the government. it's 6:16am. now time for the weather with matt. morning. he has his own little rainbow for us. i have the stage set. more rain than yesterday. the big story is how mild it is. temperatures at the moment iran nine, 10 degrees in much of the uk. well above where we should be for this stage, this month of the year. more persistent rain across the north and west of scotland. a line of rain pushing across eastern counties of england. brighter skies in the west and a scattering of

showers, some on the heavy side. xiao is pushing east. lining themselves into bands later. northern ireland grew more persistent rain. a few areas where the showers are most likely. they are the areas where showers are more likely to come your way during the afternoon. away from them in the sunshine, look at the temperatures! maybe 15, i6 sunshine, look at the temperatures! maybe 15, 16 in eastern areas for the second half of the day. tonight, outbreaks of rain will spread across all parts of the uk. clearer skies later. temperatures will drop. slightly fresher tomorrow. for most another cold start. particularly windy. after the rest of the week the same mixed outlook. a bit of sunshine and a bit of rain.- sunshine and a bit of rain. more rainbows _ sunshine and a bit of rain. more rainbows. exactly. _ sunshine and a bit of rain. more rainbows. exactly. thank- sunshine and a bit of rain. more rainbows. exactly. thank you. l

let's take a look at today's papers. "broken and rotten" is the daily mail's headline, which like many of the front pages, focuses on baroness casey's damning report into the met. the paper says the force cannot be trusted to police itself and that it must reform or be "overhauled." the daily telegraph reports that the public has been let down by the met which no longer has a functioning neighbourhood policing service. the front page also references rupert murdoch who is getting married again — for a fifth time — at the age of 92. the i dedicates most of its front page to borisjohnson — the paper says he's preparing to "plot his comeback" if he's cleared by the parliamentary inquiry into partygate. we will get more from mrjohnson today, by the sounds of it. and "britain's gone to pot" is the headline in the sun. the paper says half of uk roads are crumbling and the repair backlog

is at an all—time high. potholes in the shape of great britain. too many of them. this story in the sun today. a special visitor to the rovers return. princess royal came to coronation street. they have very serious storyline coming up. shejoined them in the rovers return. i am not sure if she ordered a drink. they said it was a great honour to be able to look after her. now to the queen vic. i was going to ask you who this is. i had given it away! it is danny dyer. you would not know, would you? danny with his new barnet. he looks like something out of the bill. is he filming something new? he is filmingjilly cooper's

display in london. do you know what it is made of? it is made of lego. down one whole side of the gallery. you get the water lily effect, just like the original, that it is made of tiny lego bricks. i bet that took a while! yes. a story for the hopeless romantics. love is in the air. with murdoch is getting married for a fifth time at the age of 92 because he says he wants to celebrate the second half of his life and really enjoy it. 92. congratulations to him. an important health story this morning. new research shows that people in some parts of the country are three times more likely than others to need emergency treatment for lung conditions, like asthma and copd.

around one in eight deaths in the uk are caused by chronic lung disease, making it the third largest killer behind cancer and heart disease. our reporterjim reed has been to see how one hospital is reducing admissions. amy was just the centre of our family. she was just full of life, really. and she was only 22. she was just lovely. she had a heart of gold. joanne's daughter, amy, had lived with severe asthma all her life. the young mum always carried an inhaler and shielded at home through the pandemic. it's just breathing. it's something that everyone takes for granted. and, at times, amy could notjust breathe. i didn't want to come in. then in october, amy collapsed in the middle of the night. she couldn't breathe. an ambulance was called. they started her heart again. and then they took her to wigan royal infirmary. lots of people came into the room, into the family room and said that

her brain had been starved of oxygen during the asthma attack. i actually feel sick as if i'm going in to get my results. and then have come home and, on the friday night after school, and tell bailey that his mummy had died. which was just the worst thing i've ever had to do. the number of people like amy losing their lives to asthma has risen by a third in a decade, with the uk recording some of the highest rates in europe. i never thought that in this day and age that anyone would die of asthma. because i thought that there would be lots of things that people could do to stop it happening.

but i was wrong. new research shows the impact of asthma and other lung conditions does though depend on where in the uk you live. in parts of the north west of england, for example, hospital admissions and deaths are among the highest in the country. in places, double or even triple the rates seen in parts of london and the south east. the stark inequality we see is... patient groups say much more has to be done to close that gap. we need to make sure that we are dealing with the underlying causes of ill health by tackling air pollution and smoking rates and poor quality housing, but also making sure we're treating and supporting people to live well with the lung condition in order that we avoid these hospital admissions. olaf schneider was born in germany but now lives near glasgow. a former lorry driver, he's been diagnosed with another common lung condition, copd. out of the blue, i got the feeling,

oh, i can't breathe. and it's like somebody puts steel around your chest and you can't breathe any more. it's very, very hard. i'm very limited with my moving about. so, for example, when i come from the car inside, that is about ten metres and i have to sit down and catch my breath back. but olaf's now on a new scheme meant to keep him in his own home. every day he logs his symptoms, which can be recorded along with data from a fitness tracker and home breathing equipment. he can message directly over this app. all this data can then be analysed by his doctors. we can see the trends in that data. here, for instance, a flare up and then an improvement. the idea is to reduce hospital treatment. copd alone is now the second most common reason for an admission.

a large proportion of these patients do not need to come to hospital. we now have the technology, the tools, the data to provide all the care that they require at home safely. if you look at the prevalence of copd in the uk and globally, we'd be projected to be spending over 40 billion within the next 20 to 30 years per year. we cannot afford that. lung disease costs the nhs billions. new ideas, new projects, new targets on pollution and smoking should make a difference. but doctors say more still needs to be done to improve and save thousands of lives. jim reed, bbc news. it just affects so itjust affects so many people. if it does not affect you yourself, everyone knows someone with a lung condition. still to come this morning... tesco are the latest high street

name to change their loyalty points but does it mean you'll be losing out on the best deals? nina has been looking at this, finding out. i think she has some tips. if you are a tesco cardholder, about what you need to do to maximise your chances and your points. do you have a loyalty points scheme? i do. points. do you have a loyalty points scheme? ido. do points. do you have a loyalty points scheme? i do. do you? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm angie george. a review into the metropolitan police has accused the force of being institutionally racist, misogynist and homophobic. the report says the met has failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women and that organisational changes have put women and children at greater risk. the review by baroness louise casey was commissioned in the wake of the murder of everard

by a serving police offcer. we know and we've known for a long time that we under protect certain communities in london, in my mind, black communities in particular and women and the over police them. so if you look at the use of force on black londoners it makes horrific reading. so i asked myself in 2023, right now, does that tell me that there is issues of systemic bias and racism in your organisation, in your institution? and my answer to that is yes. the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, accepted that there is racism, misogyny and homophobia in the force but said he would not use the term "institutional racism". sir mark apologised to everyone let down by the met. basildon is getting more than £4 million to turn empty properties into digital workshops. it's hoped the money will support people working in film, tv, gaming and animation.

basildon council says it will stimulate new businesses, and help redevelop the centre of the town. a day of action by those renting privately is due to take place later today. they're calling on the government to address what they see as a "renting crisis" by introducing the delayed renters reform bill and abolish "no—fault" evictions. there's a rally today at westminster. in a statement the department for levelling—up said the government would bring forward a renters reform bill in this parliament which would abolish "no—fault evictions". let's take a look at the tubes now — no reports of any issues so far this morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is going to be another mild but rather unsettled day today. we've got some outbreaks of rain this morning, clearing to sunshine and blustery showers. now the rain this morning is a front, it's fairly light and patchy, it's clearing eastwards. behind it, the cloud will break up,

we'll see some sunny spells, yes, but also some sharp showers blowing through on that rather brisk south westerly winds gusting 30 to 35 miles per hour. now into this evening, those showers will start to clear. drier for a time, but we'll see our next front approaching through the early hours, more cloud and then some heavy rain. also, the wind will start to strengthen as that moves through. the minimum temperature between nine and ii celsius. so a damp start again tomorrow morning. that rain clearing, it's going to be unsettled, though. sunshine, showers, but also the wind — you can see the isobars tomorrow squeezing together. we could see gusts of up to 40, 45 miles per hour. it stays unsettled, as you can see, we've got outbreaks of rain, sunshine at times. a little bit chillier, though, as we head towards the end of the weekend into the first part of next week. that's all for now, we're backjust before 7:00am. back now to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast

with sally nugent and jon kay. borisjohnson�*s written evidence against claims he misled parliament over parties during lockdown is set to be published today. the allegations against the former prime minister and the investigation into dominic raab are just some of the issues we discussed in our in depth interview with rishi sunak. the current pm told me there would be a free vote on mrjohnson if he is found to have misled the house. here's what he had to say. yes, these are matters for parliament and the house and mp as individuals rather than for government. so that is the general process that we would follow. talking of processes, boris johnson�*s allies say that this whole process is unfair, that it's a witch hunt. do you agree? look, that's ultimately something for borisjohnson, and he'll have the committee process to go through, and that's a matter for parliament. also this week we're expecting the result of the inquiry into into dominic raab's behaviour. if that finds that he behaved badly to his staff, will you sack him?

again, i'm not i'm not going to pre—empt a process that hasn't concluded. and you say people care about process? yes, i think most people... i'm not asking to to pre—empt him, i'm just saying if it finds that he's behaved badly, would you sack him? i think, again, people canjudge me by my actions, right? in the past, when there's been issues like this, i've made sure that they were investigated properly. i was the one who initiated this investigation. i was the one who appointed a leading independent kc to get to the bottom of it. joining us now is jack blanchard, the uk editor of politico. good morning, jack. good morning. i could sense — good morning, jack. good morning. i could sense rishi _ good morning, jack. good morning. i could sense rishi sunak's _ good morning, jack. good morning. i could sense rishi sunak's pain, - could sense rishi sunak's pain, almost, when borisjohnson's name was mentioned. as it is mentioned in any political discussion, he cannot

escape that name?— any political discussion, he cannot escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking _ escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking to _ escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking to you _ escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking to you or _ escape that name? rishi sunak would rather be talking to you or anyone - rather be talking to you or anyone else about anyone else other than borisjohnson. this is a prime minister who is desperate to keep the conversation fixed on the small handful of things he thinks the country want him to get on with. borisjohnson is a ghost following him around downing street reminding him around downing street reminding him of the turmoil we've had over the past couple of years and we are going to see that again this week with this evidence being published and the show stopping committee hearing tomorrow afternoon that half of the country will be tuning in to watch boris johnson of the country will be tuning in to watch borisjohnson getting grilled about those parties in downing street. for rishi sunak, two more days where he cannot talk about the things he thinks will get people voting for the conservatives again. instead, two more days where they are remembering all the things that have gone on the past couple of years. he have gone on the past couple of ears. , ., , ., years. he showed me the staircase inside downing _ years. he showed me the staircase inside downing street _ years. he showed me the staircase inside downing street and - years. he showed me the staircase inside downing street and there i years. he showed me the staircase i inside downing street and there were portraits of previous prime ministers framed up the world. i

noticed there wasn't borisjohnson or liz truss and i said, is that personal? he said, no wejust haven't updated them yet. he said he certainly intends to. how does he handle the next few days? boris johnson being grilled in front of mps johnson being grilled in front of mp5 for hours, i mean, rishi sunak got fined as well, so he is part of this? ., �* , , , , this? he wouldn't be surprised if there is a painting _ this? he wouldn't be surprised if there is a painting of— this? he wouldn't be surprised if there is a painting of boris - this? he wouldn't be surprised if. there is a painting of boris johnson there is a painting of borisjohnson and a painting of liz truss tucked away in some cupboard in downing street, waiting to go up. yes, it is a problem for him, he really wants to be focused on other things. but as you say, the partygate issue for rishi sunak is a personal blog, he was fined as well. but i don't think he was tainted as much as boris johnson, because there were multiple events going on in downing street

and apparently rishi sunak turned up accidentally at one of them and was fined as well. he was sort of collateral damage. but it is not a good look for a prime minister to have been fined by the police in that way when everybody else was abiding by the lockdown rules. he just wants this whole thing to go away. he knows today and tomorrow will be dominated by borisjohnson. but as soon as they are out of the way he will be desperate to move the conversation on. don't be surprised if we get some more government announcements towards the end of the week is rishi sunak tries to get people talking back about the business of government and not about the various scandals that have gone on under the conservatives. i the various scandals that have gone on under the conservatives.- on under the conservatives. i know when we mention _ on under the conservatives. i know when we mention boris _ on under the conservatives. i know when we mention boris johnson . on under the conservatives. i know. when we mention boris johnson these when we mention borisjohnson these days, some of our viewers say, why do you keep what talking about boris johnson, move on. but when rishi sunak stands up in parliament and he looks behind him, all those mps behind him, his majority is boris johnson's majority. he is still

living with the legacy of boris johnson and everything he does in the commons? that johnson and everything he does in the commons?— johnson and everything he does in the commons? that is right, we also know because _ the commons? that is right, we also know because polling _ the commons? that is right, we also know because polling shows - the commons? that is right, we also know because polling shows it, - know because polling shows it, within the members of the conservative party borisjohnson remains a very popular figure. that makes him impotent and he still holds sway among some of the mp5. he is a former prime minister so he will always be someone people pay attention to. traditionally, former prime ministers when they left their job, they quietly go off into the night. david cameron famously hiding in his shepherd's hurt at the bottom of the garden try not to tread on the toes of his successors, as he said. borisjohnson is very much not taking that approach. borisjohnson happy to come out and criticise rishi sunak and the way he has approached government. unfortunately, this is not a problem that will go away for rishi sunak. borisjohnson is someone who attracts attention, he is inherently interesting and he will always be in

the newspapers and on the tv screens. especially when this big scandal surrounding him still hasn't been put to bed. it is an important inquiry by parliament and to what happened, it is important for us to know, did the prime minister mislead the house of commons? that is the whole basis for the way our political system work. politicians being truthful with the public. it is important we get to the bottom of what happened but unfortunately for rishi sunak he has a few more days, weeks and months of this to come. that's not all, he also as the report into dominic raab's behaviour. he wouldn't be drawn on whether he would sack him, but he did sayjudge me on my actions, i put integrity at the heart of my government and always have done. it sounds to me sitting there with him, it sounds like he intends to be seen to act tough if it is a negative report for dominic raab? yes, it

wasn't a glowing _ report for dominic raab? yes, it wasn't a glowing vote _ report for dominic raab? yes, it wasn't a glowing vote of- report for dominic raab? yes, it i wasn't a glowing vote of confidence in his deputy prime minister to hear him very much distancing himself from everything that has gone on and making clear that if the report is bad, he will act on it and you have to assume that means firing dominic raabif to assume that means firing dominic raab if he thinks that is appropriate. this will be another big moment for him. this is another thing from before rishi sunak's time as prime minister. these allegations about dominic raab's behaviour all predate rishi sunak taking over in downing street, but it is another issue haunting him, questions day after day, should he have appointed him in this deputy role given what we are hearing, what is alleged about his behaviour. it will be a really tricky moment for him. nobody likes to sacking people from cabinet, but if rishi sunak is really going to uphold standards, you have to worry for dominic raab's future, because the number of

complaints against him, the sheer scale of different staff who have worked for him complaining about him have put him in a very difficult position. have put him in a very difficult osition. ~ ,., have put him in a very difficult osition. ~ ., , , position. we will get some answers in the next — position. we will get some answers in the next few _ position. we will get some answers in the next few days. _ position. we will get some answers in the next few days. thank - position. we will get some answers in the next few days. thank you - position. we will get some answers | in the next few days. thank you very much indeed and more from the interview with rishi sunak throughout the programme, talking about small boats and nhs pay and the strikes and crucially, the cost of living. and that famous staircase in downing street, he had a look at that. it is really steep. it is really steep, isn't it? you with a couple of weeks ago. you are watching breakfast from bbc news and now we have the sport. what is going on with antonio conte a, he has gone home? we are expecting his sacking from tottenham at some point this week. in some cases, some managers don't want to be sacked. in his case, i think it looks like he wants to be going. after criticising the players

so publicly. that was the thing, thatis so publicly. that was the thing, that is the tipping point. the problems run deep at tottenham are potentially full antonio conte a, but calling out the players publicly, criticising their standards and the place, it is a line in the sand you don't cross, but he did. maybe that is why he is ready to call time on his time at tottenham. yes, good morning. a serial winner, a man tasked with bringing that winning mentality to tottenham faces the sack this week. it follows his outburt as tottenham blew a two—goal lead to draw with bottom of the table southampton. it's expected the club will sack the italian coach this week and that he will not be in place for the club's next game away to everton on april 3rd. conte called the players selfish in a ten minute tirade. they say never go back but that's what crystal palace look set to do, bringing former manager roy hodgson out of retirement to replace patrick viera until the end of the season. it was viera who was brought in to replace hodgson, let's not forget. he's 75, so much for relaxing and enjoying retirement.

he's coming in to try and steer the club to safety, and avoid a relegation battle. as expected, after shoving the referee, fulham's aleksandar mitrovic faces a lengthy ban. he's been charged with violent and improper conduct following his red card in sunday's fa cup defeat at manchester united. the fa said the standard punishment of three matches was "clearly insufficient" and could be banned for the rest of the season. the club has landed an additional charge of failing to control its players. the way he's been playing the last person gareth southgate and england would want to do without is marcus rashford, but he's been forced to pull out of euro 2024 qualifiers with italy and ukraine. it follows an injury picked up in man united's fa cup game with fulham. he's scored more goals than any other european player since the world cup finished in december. newcastle keeper nick pope and chelsea's mason mount are also out.

wales meanwhile preparing for life without some of their established names in their upcomig euro 2024 campaign. joe allen and captain gareth bale all retired after the world cup. old face but a new look for new captain aaron ramsey. there's so much excitement with some of the players that of playing at the highest level at the moment. you can definitely, you know, make their own history with this team and it's very exciting to be a part of this team when there's so much opportunity for us. scotland play on saturday too, meanwhile northern ireland will be without leicester defender jonny evans, he's out of tehir squad and will miss the start of their campaign with games against san marino and finland this month. england captain and most capped player sarah hunter has announced she is to retire from rugby union. the 37—year—old will play her last game ever for england against scotland this saturday

in their opening six nations match at kingston park in newcastle — the city of her birth. hunter is the most capped women's player in the world and this will be her 16th six nations competition. kevin sinfield has been awarded freedom of the borough of oldham. it's in recognition of the millions he's raised for research into motor neurone disease. the current england rugby union defence coach has taken on a number of ultra challenges to support of his former team—mate rob burrow. i want all the awareness completely focused on the mnd communities and the wonderful charities that they do. it is something i have been immensely proud of the last couple of years. it keeps rob fighting and battling as well. so we will keep doing what we need to do.

that is the section of those oldham street he has not pounded in the last few months. he knows the area very well, i imagine. he did just go round oldham again and again in a loop, basically. if you are caught in traffic in oldham, you know who to ask. i think he was also feeling quite free in oldham. i wonder what it means you can do? i wonder if you can walk sheep through the town isn't it? everyone does that in oldham, don't they? i think it is the freedom of they? i think it is the freedom of the city, that is what you get. enjoying his freedom. thank you. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. beautiful picture? not mine, but from one of our weather watchers. this is from cambridge yesterday, a welcome bit of sunshine. there has not been a huge amount of sunshine in cambridgeshire recently and it

has been one of the wettest spots relative to normal. already we have seen 2.5 times the normal march rainfall and still ten days to go. likely to be the wettest march on record and contrast that with lerwick in shetland, where we have seen over a third so the low average here. today, lerwick and shetland will be one of the wetter spots, cloud and rain come and go all day long. that is under this blanket here which willjust sit long. that is under this blanket here which will just sit across long. that is under this blanket here which willjust sit across the far north—east and ahead of the next approaching with the system which will be more persistent rain, we have quite aware that, which means a bit more sunshine around. but to begin with across parts of eastern england, rain will continue in the far north—east of scotland. grab an umbrella just in case, showers around and through the afternoon they may fall in line so more frequent shout from the south—west through to london. one through the north—west part of the midlands and want through northern england as

well. the breeze picking up altogether. coming in from a southerly direction and much milder than yesterday. in scotland, up to 15 degrees, 16 celsius through some eastern counties of england. we finish the day northern ireland after morning sunshine with cloud, bricks of rain. this evening the rain will spread across all parts, heaviest and most persistent through the first part of the night through the first part of the night through the west and the lingering into the southern counties of england and to orkney and shetland. temperatures not dropping which, seven to 10 degrees into the morning. this is the big picture for tomorrow, broad area of low pressure but we are starting to see the winds pick up to the south of that and a much windier day. it could take all day to get rid of the cloud, patchy rain from the south east corner to start with. rain lingers long for the far north of scotland and another batch of heavy showers which could bring gusts of wind, 50, 60, may be 70 miles an hourfora gusts of wind, 50, 60, may be 70 miles an hourfor a time. gales around hills and coast and it will

feel cool across scotland and northern ireland but temperatures above where we should be, 15, i6 above where we should be, 15, 16 degrees possible to the south and east. on thursday we could see more persistent rain and just be wary if you cross the midlands, it could be a wetter day here. for many, still sunshine and showers. showers heavy and thundery and still very mild they. that is good today, optimistic. it is getting light in the mornings, it is getting light in the mornings, it is coming up to 7.50. if you're a shopper who saves up your loyalty points to make the most of the best deals, you might have noticed some changes recently. tesco are the latest high street name to change how much theirs are worth. nina has the details. it is not just it is notjust tesco, lots of different companies? yes, it is a lovely feeling when you get a good deal. i am going to maximise the

deal. i am going to maximise the deal. when it is taken away you can feel a little bit cheated. furious. he has got every loyalty card going. you may have got the e—mail over the weekend from tesco. we will have a look at it. good morning. our radars for a good deal are on high alert at the moment as we try to stretch the pennies. loyalty cards are one way of helping. if you have a tesco clubcard you might be used to trilpling the value of your points at the likes of pizza express, legoland and many others. but from the 14th ofjune those deals get a bit stingier — they'll only be worth double the value. tesco told us customers will still be able to access the best value in their stores, and they're not the only ones changing their loyalty points. from may, boot�*s advantage card holders will get 25% less for every £1 they spend in store, earning three pence rather than four. and in november, sainsburys bank cut

the amount of nectar points customers could earn by 75%, from earning two points for every £1 spent, to one point for every £2. that is a big jump. so why are the stores changing this? all the retailers are under massive pressure at the moment so the cost they are feeling are coming at them from all angles. you have to look at every avenue, so what can i do to reduce the cost i have? clubcard is expensive to run and you have to look at if i can reduce that, make sure the points are not worth quite as much, how many customers will that impact? that is why they are doing that, looking at reducing their costs whilst faced with massive amounts of inflation. aha, bit massive amounts of inflation. a bit like us, supermarkets _ massive amounts of inflation. a bit like us, supermarkets are making savings. while inflation is due to come down later in the year, its expected that food prices

will stay high, so we might have to get used to paying more for less. one thing to look out for — it's predicted that supermarkets will begin to drop prices on certain items to get you through the doors. so shopping around might become more important than ever. we love to hear from you on this. do you use your loyalty points to shop? you can get in touch on whatsapp, email and t witter. you can get in touch on whatsapp, email and twitter. the details are on your screen now. if you get your points now, you can still use the points in the restaurants and shops. so get your points in now. it is a full—time job, great deals to be had, but you have to keep across them. i am already thinking, that is cheaper in that supermarket, this is cheaper in that supermarket, this is cheaper elsewhere, so shopping around. we will see more of that as the year goes on.

working in the ambulance service can be fraught with danger and challenges. now, specialist paramedics have spoken out about their experiences. the hazardous area response team happened to be wearing a camera for bbc wales when they were called to the scene of an explosion in swansea last week. jenny rees has been to speak to them. a glimmer of relief amidst the destruction. and a cat is pulled from the rubble... ..following an explosion in swansea last week that killed one person and left three needing hospital treatment. these are the images captured on cameras we'd given specialist paramedics. we wanted to highlight the work they do in hazardous areas. we never expected a call out on this scale. it's almost like a movie set. you've got the building which is completely destroyed. there's the kitchen here.

you've got debris everywhere. there's bits of house in the trees. the wind was quite strong that day as well and things were falling out of the trees. there's lots of damaged cars, buildings. it's all going on around you. but just obviously focusing on the task at hand. negative, haven't been all accounted for. to do that, the hazardous area response team, which is part of the welsh ambulance service, are trained in all manner of things — car rescues, floods, working at height or confined spaces, chemical, biological or nuclear events, and of course, collapsed buildings. ok, keep coming, keep coming. stop, stop, stop. pulling the legs out. that's it, keep pulling, keep pulling, keep pulling. there we go, that's it, it's clicked. lovely. prior to hart, we didn't have that capability to treat the patient - where the patient fell, within that hot zone, l within that risk zone. we weren't allowed to go forward through that cordon. _ what hart gives us is that capability to move forward|

into that hazardous area, i into that hot zone, to treat the patient where it's needed most. it means the team certainly don't travel light. so this is what we call out, heavy vehicles. this is your your box of tricks, this has got... everything! whatever you get called out to, something in here, you'll be able to cope with any eventuality. on the top shelf there, we've got a vacuum mattress — so for somebody with a spinal injury. other different types of stretchers, as you can see in the green bags there, there's harnesses. so we use harnesses for safe working at height. so we've got like dry suits as well for working in the water. we carry a sled, inflatable sled when sort of walking through flooded areas. since being established just over a decade ago, the team has worked on the search for apriljones in machynlleth in 2012. a dramatic 54—hour cave rescue in the brecon beacons two years ago and the novichok poisonings in salisbury in 2018. the types ofjobs that we go to, there is that potential of sort of, you know, more traumatic incidents we go to.

but we're quite lucky within this department, is that everybody got what we call a trim practitioner, sort of looks at the trauma and can speak to somebody and you can be referred on then for your welfare. yeah, the role of paramedic is an amazing role. i's a privilege to be able to go into people's homes or different environments to provide care and treatment to people in some of the worst times. but add that to the hazardous area where there might be fires going on or risk of explosion or there's chemicals involved, or there's running water and stuff like that, it just adds an additional dynamic. but it's occasions like these that they train for, ever prepared for what the next call might bring. incredible pictures. to see the amount of work that goes into that

and the dangerous situations people put themselves in. there's cameras take you right into the zone when something like that happens. you're watching breakfast — still to come this morning. we'll hear why more brits are travelling abroad for weight loss surgery that has dramatic results — but could be risky. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm angie george. a review into the metropolitan police has accused the force of being institutionally racist, misogynist and homophobic. the report says the met has failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women and that organisational changes have put women and children at greater risk. the review by baroness louise casey was commissioned in the wake of the murder of sarah everard

by a serving police officer. we know and we've known for a long time that we under protect certain communities in london, in my mind, black communities in particular and women and the over police them. so if you look at the use of force on black londoners it makes horrific reading. so i asked myself in 2023, right now, does that tell me that there is issues of systemic bias and racism in your organisation, in your institution? and my answer to that is yes. the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, accepted that there is racism, misogyny and homophobia in the force but said he would not use the term "institutional racism." sir mark apologised to everyone let down by the met. the luton dart, which links the airport with the railway, becomes fully operational today. the driverless shuttle carries passengers a mile and a half in about three minutes. it was due to open in 2020 and is one of the biggest

infrastructure projects ever seen in luton. a day of action by those renting privately is due to take place later today. they're calling on the government to address what they see as a "renting crisis" by introducing the delayed renters reform bill and abolish "no—fault" evictions. there's a rally today at westminster. in a statement, the department for levelling—up said the government would bring forward a renters reform bill in this parliament which would abolish "no fault evictions." let's take a look at the travel now. there's a part suspension on some overground services this morning, which means no service between liverpool street and enfield town and cheshunt. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is going to be another mild but rather unsettled day today. we've got some outbreaks of rain this morning, clearing to sunshine and blustery showers. now the rain this morning is a front, it's fairly light and patchy, it's clearing eastwards. behind it, the cloud will break up,

we'll see some sunny spells, yes, but also some sharp showers blowing through on that rather brisk south westerly winds gusting 30 to 35 miles per hour. now into this evening, those showers will start to clear. drier for a time, but we'll see our next front approaching through the early hours, more cloud and then some heavy rain. also, the wind will start to strengthen as that moves through. the minimum temperature between nine and 11 celsius. so a damp start again tomorrow morning. that rain clearing, it's going to be unsettled, though. sunshine, showers, but also the wind — you can see the isobars tomorrow squeezing together. we could see gusts of up to 40, 45 miles per hour. it stays unsettled, as you can see, we've got outbreaks of rain, sunshine at times. a little bit chillier, though, as we head towards the end of the weekend into the first part of next week. that's it. back to sally and jon.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... the damning report into britain's biggest police force. the metropolitan police is accused of failing those it's meant to protect. institutional racism, institutional sexism, institutional misogyny and homophobia are definitely present across the organisation. there are now calls to break up the met. the prime minister gives his response to breakfast. if your daughter said to you over the breakfast table, "dad, can i trust the police in london? what do you say to them?" of course. we need the answer to that

question to be yes. but is the answer yes? well, clearly at the moment, trust in the police has been hugely damaged by the things that we've discovered over the past year. even your trust? everybody's trust. we also speak to rishi sunak about the cost of living, immigration and the fate of his predecessor, borisjohnson. and in other news. the family of a head teacher, who took her own life ahead of a school inspection report say she was under "intolerable pressure." another very mild day across the uk today. more sunshine at times compared with yesterday that there will be a some downpours. i will have the details. it's tuesday 21st march. "institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic." those are the findings of a damning review of the metropolitan police published this morning. baroness casey's report says that a boy's club culture is rife

and the force has failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women. the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley, said the report prompted feelings of "shame and anger" — but also increased his resolve to bring about change. our special correspondent, lucy manning reports. let's remember how all this began. sarah everard walking home — kidnapped, raped and murdered by a met police officer. it shocked then and this report is frightening. a force that is broken, failing. there is, without doubt, a discriminatory culture right across the metropolitan police. and i think that institutional racism, institutional sexism, institutional misogyny and homophobia are definitely present across the organisation. we think the met is not able to assure all of us that its officers are of sufficient integrity and standards to be serving police officers, so it needs

to clean itself up. the met has lost the consent to police, the report believes. it can't protect its own female gay and minority ethnic staff and it can't provide adequate policing for these groups when they're victims of crime. for too long, the met has had predatory officers and a culture of denial about the scale of its problems. the details set out in this report of a broken force are frankly horrific. rape evidence that had to be discarded because the fridges in police stations didn't work. a sikh officer who had his beard cut by colleagues, a muslim officer, who found bacon in his boots and female officers routinely targeted and humiliated by their male counterparts. couzens and carrick, the met�*s murderer and its rapist. baroness casey clear those who have the powers to search, arrest and detain need to have the trust and confidence of those they police.

so this needs to be a landmark moment. the commissioner of the met apologetic, promising change, but not accepting every word of the report, despite baroness casey's plea to do so. it's disturbing. it's upsetting. it's heartbreaking. i apologise to those who've suffered as a consequence. do you accept baroness casey's findings that the force is institutionally racist, institutionally misogynistic and institutionally homophobic? i accept her diagnosis about the racism, misogyny, homophobia in the organisation, and also that we have these systemic failings, management failings and culturalfailings. i understand her use of the term institutional. it's not a term i use myself. shabnam chaudhri was a detective superintendent in the met and lived through some of the racism the review highlights. there were officers that were outrightly racist towards me and then there were those

that had the banter. but there was a particular officer, for example, who whenever i was out of the room, referred to me as the p, with the p word, and it's only my colleagues that actually told me. she believes the met must change from the top to the bottom. my message to sir mark rowley is implement your systems and processes, ensure that your leadership is strong, ensure that leadership is supported at every level. ensure that those who want to whistle blow can speak out, so that you can root out the dirty, rotten apples that sit within your organisation that have a huge detrimental impact on trust and confidence. reports have come, commissioners have gone and still the met hasn't changed. the warning is this is its last chance. if it doesn't, it could face being broken up. for too long, it has failed too many — the very people who need protecting. victims of crime. black and asian communities, women and children.

people just walking home. lucy manning, bbc news. in the next hour we will speak to sadik khan and mark rowley. that is in about 25 minutes' time. in an exclusive interview with bbc breakfast, the prime minister rishi sunak said the failings at the force have been damaging. you have talked in the past about your worries over your children's safety. if your daughter said over the breakfast table, dad, can i trust the police in london? what would you say? we trust the police in london? what would you say?— trust the police in london? what would you say? trust the police in london? what would ou sa ? ~ ., , ., would you say? we need the answer to ps. is it? would you say? we need the answer to p5- is it? at — would you say? we need the answer to p5- is it? at the _

would you say? we need the answer to ps. is it? at the moment _ would you say? we need the answer to ps. is it? at the moment trust - would you say? we need the answer to ps. is it? at the moment trust in - ps. is it? at the moment trust in the police _ ps. is it? at the moment trust in the police has — ps. is it? at the moment trust in the police has been _ ps. is it? at the moment trust in the police has been hugely - ps. is it? at the moment trust in the police has been hugely damaged. everybody's trust. we need to make sure it will not be repeated and we can regain people's trust. i know the police commissioner is committed to doing that, committed to making changes. there are changes under way at the moment when notjust in london but across the country. we have changed guidance for police. we are currently in the process that all police forces are checking police officers again against the database and they are all being inspected by the independent inspector of police forces to make sure that is happening. that will help. you talk about my daughter. ultimately i want both my daughters to grow up in a society where they not only have full trust in the police, it is fundamentally safe. and you can see more of that interview with the prime minister just after eight o'clock. we talked about everything, the cost

of living, the small boats policy. we talked about dominic raab and the allegations of bullying and of course about borisjohnson, who is also in the news again. there were various things he wanted to talk about another things he wanted to talk about and you did not always agree. he wanted to stick to his message on the five pledges of policy. he thinks inflation is coming down. a lot of other things avi was one answers on as well. we will bring that to you later. borisjohnson's written evidence against claims he misled parliament over parties in downing street in lockdown is set to be published today. the former prime minister will be quizzed in person by parliament's cross—party privileges committee tomorrow. our chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. we were thinking when we were in london yesterday we might see that dossier from london yesterday we might see that dossierfrom borisjohnson yesterday. we did not get it

yesterday. we did not get it yesterday. do we think it will happen this morning, today? we think it will happen — happen this morning, today? we think it will happen today, _ happen this morning, today? we think it will happen today, i _ happen this morning, today? we think it will happen today, i am _ happen this morning, today? we think it will happen today, i am not - it will happen today, i am not certain if it will be this morning. by certain if it will be this morning. by close of play we will have seen the written evidence. borisjohnson sent it into the committee yesterday afternoon, about 2:30pm. they have been going over it with a fine tooth comb, retracting some of it because they say they want to protect the identity of some of those who are involved in the process. this has been quite a big row over process actually. there is a frustration among borisjohnson's team this stuff was not published last night. also a row brewing between boris johnson and the committee about whether all the evidence they draw upon when they question, whether that should be put into the public domain so we can all see it. it is bogged down in that process just now. ultimately, later on today, when we get that submission, we will

get a sense about substance. boris johnson is arguing he has evidence that shows he did not mislead parliament deliberately, he was acting on advice given by his aides and he did think the party that took place in downing street were within the rules. we will see later on when the rules. we will see later on when the evidence is published whether it stacks up, whether it does show that borisjohnson was given that advice and whether it does show he thought things were within the rules. it will be a big moment when we get that. then a really fascinating moment tomorrow when boris johnson has that mammoth session in front of mp5. they will want to say to him, you knew what was going on, you set the rules. did you not understand you are breaking them and when you were returning mp5, not all those were returning mp5, not all those were informed, you are misleading parliament. he will say no, i did not think the rules were being

broken for that this is a big deal for the future of borisjohnson. ultimately, if the mp5 decide he did mislead parliament, suspensions range from everything from an apology to parliament to a suspension and that could trigger a by—election. suspension and that could trigger a by-election-— by-election. thank you very much indeed. russian president vladimir putin is to begin talks with his chinese counterpart xi jinping today in moscow, in a highly—anticipated visit. the summit has been the focus of much speculation, following the publication of china's plan to end the war in ukraine. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, joins us now. morning. hugely significant meeting. actually, yesterday was day one because xi jinping gluing actually, yesterday was day one because xijinping gluing and had one—on—one talks, a very long conversation with vladimir putin before the delegations get together today. i suspect that what happened

yesterday, this conversation, was actually the main event. we may never know what they talked about, what they discussed, what they decided, what agreements they may have come up with and what implications that might have or might not have all the war in ukraine. i think that was the big event. today we will see talks continuing, big delegation russia and china talking about economic cooperation, possibly cooperation in space and military cooperation as well. it was the talks yesterday that we think big decisions may or may not have been taken by these two leaders. . ~ may not have been taken by these two leaders. ., ,, , ., may not have been taken by these two leaders. ., ~' , ., , may not have been taken by these two leaders. ., ,, , ., , . two rail strikes next week will go ahead as the dispute between the rmt union and the train operating companies continues. however, a long—running dispute between thousands of rail workers and network rail has come to an end, as staff voted to accept a new pay offer.

the deal will see pay rises for signal workers and maintenance staff. northern ireland's democratic unionist party is set to vote against a key part of the government's new deal on trading arrangements following brexit. its leader sirjeffrey donaldson says he will continue to work with the government on "outstanding issues." but downing street say there are no plans for substantial changes to the deal as mp5 prepare to vote on the plans. the family of a headteacher, who took her own life after an ofsted inspection, have called for a change to a regime they say is "punitive." ruth perry died injanuary after working at caversham primary school for 13 years. it was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate after a visit from inspectors. aru na iyengar reports. ruth perry, headteacher of caversham primary in reading, described the ofsted inspection in november as the worst day of her life. her family says she was under intolerable pressure when she was told the school

was rated inadequate. this one—word judgement was just destroying 32 years of her vocation. education was her vocation. now unions and school leaders are asking for changes. dr mary bousted from the national education union said ofsted should pause its inspections and reflect upon the unmanageable and counter—productive stress they cause for school leaders and the impact on leaders. one executive head teacher at a nearby school said she refused entry to ofsted inspectors and called on parents to show support. but that visit will now go ahead this morning. while schools do need to be monitored, i think that something does need to be looked into this and perhaps changes do need to be made where there's a bit less pressure kind of put on schools. you have got to stand up and be counted, don't you? otherwise, people... that's how change happens.

matthew purvis, ofsted's regional directorfor the south east, said... a petition calling for changes to the inspection system has so far gathered more than 90,000 signatures. the department for education said inspections are hugely important, as they hold schools to account for their educational standards. caversham primary�*s report is yet to be published on the ofsted website. meanwhile, the school is grieving for its head teacher. aruna iyengar, bbc news. new protests have broken out in france after the government narrowly survived a vote of no—confidence over its pension reforms. more than 100 people were arrested as people set fire to bins and piles of rubbish. the confidence vote in parliament was much closer than expected, just nine short of the number needed to bring down the government. it's 7:15am.

lovely to have you with us this tuesday morning. matt has gone for a swim, not quite. gone to the beach. sea temperatures are getting towards their coldest of the year. cloud breaks overhead and a sign of more sunshine as we go through the day. with more sunshine still showers. a completely dried out. another very mild day once the sun is out. let's take a look at what is happening at the moment. temperatures well above what you would normally expect this day in march. nine, ten for most parts of the uk. there is wet weather around. overnight rain easing away from eastern counties in england. still in the north and west of scotland. spatters are blue in the west. indications of shallow

clouds. short, downpours of rain will be pushing from west to east. some of you will miss them all together before we see more persistent rain in northern ireland later. this afternoon there will be a line stretching from south—west to north london, north midlands and some parts of the north of england. this is where they full into corridors. largely dry. in the sunshine, look at these will afternoon to temperatures. 15, 16 is possible. the rain quickly spreads across the rest of the country tonight. heaviest and most persistent for the first part of the night in the west. lingering, tomorrow morning in the south—east and east anglia. away from those areas it will be another day of sunshine and showers. much windier tomorrow but staying mild as it does for the rest of this working week is looks consistent across the uk.

consistently changeable. the demand for weight loss surgery has boomed in recent years, and increasingly people from the uk are choosing to travel abroad for their operations. but although gastric sleeve, band or bypass surgery might seem like the way to shed some pounds how safe is it to go under the knife overseas? joe thornley was just 25 when he travelled to turkey. tragically, he died just hours after his surgery. bbc three spoke to his parents as part of a new documentary. the policeman gave us a phone number of the doctor in turkey, the hospital in turkey. and then we rang the hospital and the doctor just turned round and said, he had low blood pressure, he had a heart attack. cardiac arrest. cardiac arrest and things like this. wejust assumed, with him being a biggish lad, that his body had failed, sort of thing. it was only when we got him back to england that they did a postmortem on him in england

that we realised that what the turkish doctor had told us was irrelevant — it was nothing to do with that. he died of internal bleeding. he died of internal bleeding from the surgery side. we didn't tell the family until after christmas. we're joined now by alex hollywell—rolfe, who had weight loss surgery on the nhs, and dr ahmed ahmed, a weight loss specialist. morning to you both. alex this is your work, morning to you both. alex this is yourwork, isn't morning to you both. alex this is your work, isn't it, we havejust shown a clip of. distressing to see the consequences of surgery that has gone wrong. the consequences of surgery that has gone wrong-— gone wrong. what happened? it is heartbreaking. _ gone wrong. what happened? it is heartbreaking. during _ gone wrong. what happened? it is heartbreaking. during the - heartbreaking. during the documentary i spoke to the family and friends. things went wrong for

first operations you can have. we have super, excellent safety rates here, low complication rate. when people go abroad there is no guarantee the same standards will be applied there. different countries will have different regulations were different standards. the way they perform surgery may not be to the same level as we do here. in perform surgery may not be to the same level as we do here. in terms ofthe same level as we do here. in terms of the surgery _ same level as we do here. in terms of the surgery itself, _ same level as we do here. in terms of the surgery itself, there - same level as we do here. in terms of the surgery itself, there are - of the surgery itself, there are lots of different types of bariatric surgery. how major and operation is this? to surgery. how ma'or and operation is this? ., , ., , , ., this? to be honest, when it is done here in this — this? to be honest, when it is done here in this country _ this? to be honest, when it is done here in this country to _ this? to be honest, when it is done here in this country to a _ this? to be honest, when it is done here in this country to a good - here in this country to a good standard it is fairly straightforward. the average sleeve or bypass takes about an hour and most people will go home after a day or two. obviously if complications arise due to either pull equipment or poor technique then the cedric and become life—threatening. is and become life—threatening. is someone is watching this morning and considering the idea of going abroad, is anything they can do or check to minimise the risks? mr;

by a serving police offcer. we know and we've known for a long time that we under protect certain communities in london, in my mind, black communities in particular and women and the over police them. so if you look at the use of force on black londoners it makes horrific reading. so i asked myself in 2023, right now, does that tell me that there is issues of systemic bias and racism in your organisation, in your institution? and my answer to that is yes. the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, accepted that there is racism, misogyny and homophobia in the force but said he would not use the term "institutional racism". sir mark apologised to everyone let down by the met. a day of action by those renting privately is due to take place later today. they're calling on the government to address what they see as a "renting crisis" by introducing

the delayed renters reform bill and abolish "no—fault" evictions. there's a rally today at westminster. in a statement the department for levelling—up said the government would bring forward a renter's reform bill in this parliament which would abolish "no fault evictions". basildon is getting more than £4 million to turn empty properties into digital workshops. it's hoped the money will support people working in film, tv, gaming and animation. basildon council says it will stimulate new businesses, and help redevelop the centre of the town. let's take a look at the travel now. minor delays on the central line. there's a part suspension on overground services between liverpool street, enfield town and chesunt. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is going to be another mild but rather unsettled day today. we've got some outbreaks of rain this morning, clearing to sunshine and blustery showers.

now the rain this morning is a front, it's fairly light and patchy, it's clearing eastwards. behind it, the cloud will break up, we'll see some sunny spells, yes, but also some sharp showers blowing through on that rather brisk south westerly winds gusting 30 to 35 miles per hour. now into this evening, those showers will start to clear. drier for a time, but we'll see our next front approaching through the early hours, more cloud and then some heavy rain. also, the wind will start to strengthen as that moves through. the minimum temperature between nine and 11 celsius. so a damp start again tomorrow morning. that rain clearing, it's going to be unsettled, though. sunshine, showers, but also the wind — you can see the isobars tomorrow squeezing together. we could see gusts of up to 40, 45 miles per hour. it stays unsettled, as you can see, we've got outbreaks of rain, sunshine at times. a little bit chillier, though, as we head towards the end of the weekend into the first part of next week. that's it for now. we're backjust before 8:00. back to sally and jon.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. a damning review into the uk's biggest police force has been published this morning, after a year long investigation. baroness casey was appointed to investigate the culture at the metropolitan police following the rape and murder of sarah everard by serving officer wayne couzens. the 363—page report condemned the force as "institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic". the report said that staff routinely experience sexism, there are racist officers and staff, and a "deep—seated homophobia" in the organisation. we're joined now by the mayor of london, sadiq khan. i of london, sadiq khan. was concerned after a serit scandals i was concerned after a series of scandals relating to the culture and

the standards in the police service. it is one of the darkest days in the history of the almost 200—year—old met police service but it is incredibly important to properly read and consider dame louise casey's findings. she has found the police service to be institutionally racist, institutionally misogynist, institutionally homophobic. they will be bad enough if the ordinary citizens who are black, asian and minority, women and lgbtq were receiving an appalling service. also police officers in those groups, who are women, police officers who are gay have received an awful service as well. it is incredibly important for us to use this opportunity to make sure there is an overhaul of our police service. i

make sure there is an overhaul of our police service.— our police service. i accept -- do our police service. i accept -- do you accept _ our police service. i accept -- do you accept baroness _ our police service. i accept -- do you accept baroness casey's - our police service. i accept -- do - you accept baroness casey's findings than all of them?— than all of them? absolutely. one of the thins i than all of them? absolutely. one of the things i have _ than all of them? absolutely. one of the things i have tried _ than all of them? absolutely. one of the things i have tried to _ than all of them? absolutely. one of the things i have tried to do - than all of them? absolutely. one of the things i have tried to do is - than all of them? absolutely. one of the things i have tried to do is to - the things i have tried to do is to make sure a light is shone on all parts of the police service. it is incredibly important that the police service is not as dame louise casey has found them, defensive, resistant to change, unwilling to engage with communities. it is important to understand that if the met police service has a future, they embrace the recommendations she has made, use the opportunity to bring about a change. we police by consent in our country. if the public has no confidence in the police they will not come forward and report a crime, they will not come forward and be a witness to a crime, they will not come forward and joined the police service. it is an all or interests to make sure that the police service changes root and branch. you

to make sure that the police service changes root and branch.— to make sure that the police service changes root and branch. you say you see olice changes root and branch. you say you see police reform _ changes root and branch. you say you see police reform is _ changes root and branch. you say you see police reform is a _ changes root and branch. you say you see police reform is a critical - changes root and branch. you say you see police reform is a criticaljob - see police reform is a criticaljob as london mayor, but this has happened on your watch. no matter how frustrated you may have been over the years with the metropolitan police, and i know there has been changes, do you accept some responsibility that they should have been sorted out years before now? absolutely, it will be 30 years next month since stephen lawrence was brutally murdered, a racist murder. 25 years since the macpherson report. my experience as a londoner, a person of colour, my experience as a person of colour, my experience as a former human rights lawyer, my experience as a member of parliament and the police and crime commissioner, is a police service that has been complacent, it has been arrogant and in denial. dame louise casey confirms all of that. it is important to understand what she has found. she has spent more than a year with the police service, interviewing police officers and police staff. it is not a report,

just speaking to members of the public, it is a report with dame louise casey inside the met police service. it is important we understand the scale of what she's found and the importance of this being a moment when there is real and meaningful change at last. hate and meaningful change at last. we have an exclusive interview with the prime minister this morning and jon kay asked him how he spoke to his daughters about the police, whether he felt confident his daughters could trust the metropolitan police. it wasn't a question he could answer with yes. as mayor of london do you take responsibility for that statement from the prime minister? what are you going to do to change it? ., , _ what are you going to do to change it? ., , ,~ what are you going to do to change it? dame louise casey also talks about the devastating _ it? dame louise casey also talks about the devastating impact - it? dame louise casey also talks about the devastating impact of| about the devastating impact of austerity and the buck stops with the conservative government. it is incredibly important we work incredibly important we work incredibly hard, politicians to work with the police, to notjust reform at police but earn back the trust and confidence.— at police but earn back the trust and confidence. ., ., , ., ., ., and confidence. how do you do that? for a woman —

means employ more women to be police officers, employ more black and asian minority police officers, employ more people from the lgbt community to be police officers. it goes to recruitment, it goes to vetting, it goes to supervision and changing the misconduct processes. the proof will be, as dame louise casey says, what changes are brought about. the first thing has got to be accepting the report.— about. the first thing has got to be accepting the report. forgive me for paraphrasing — accepting the report. forgive me for paraphrasing here, _ accepting the report. forgive me for paraphrasing here, you _ accepting the report. forgive me for paraphrasing here, you are - accepting the report. forgive me for paraphrasing here, you are giving i paraphrasing here, you are giving the bad apple argument, which dame louise casey talks about. i am really not. _ louise casey talks about. i am really not. i — louise casey talks about. i am really not, i am _ louise casey talks about. i am really not, i am really - louise casey talks about. i am really not, i am really not. - louise casey talks about. i am really not, i am really not. letj louise casey talks about. i am - really not, i am really not. let me finish. really not, i am really not. let me finish- she — really not, i am really not. let me finish. she says _ really not, i am really not. let me finish. she says it _ really not, i am really not. let me finish. she says it is _ really not, i am really not. let me finish. she says it is not _ really not, i am really not. let me finish. she says it is not about - finish. she says it is not about individuals who are bad in the system, she said what needs to change is the culture and the structure of the metropolitan police. is it too big, should it be broken up? it police. is it too big, should it be broken up?— broken up? it is not too big and shouldn't be — broken up? it is not too big and shouldn't be broken _ broken up? it is not too big and shouldn't be broken up. - broken up? it is not too big and shouldn't be broken up. it - broken up? it is not too big and shouldn't be broken up. it is . broken up? it is not too big and| shouldn't be broken up. it is not too bi ? shouldn't be broken up. it is not too big? it— shouldn't be broken up. it is not too big? it is — shouldn't be broken up. it is not too big? it is not _ shouldn't be broken up. it is not

anti—homophobic culture. we have to make sure the commission has the ability to sack those officers when ability to sack those officers when a tribunal finds them guilty of misconduct. we have to make sure if somebody fails their vetting, it is a reason to sack an officer. we have to make sure changes to regulations are made as soon as possible. also the gaps in the police service that have led to a situation where you have led to a situation where you have fridges keeping samples in relation to rape cases, evidence being lost and destroyed because of a lack of care and those cases are addressed. it means a recognition that things have gone wrong. cultural changes which require changes to make them better as well. it all sounds... these sound really practical and constructive things that could change going forward, but where is the urgency, what is going to change now? what will change this week? i imagine, for example, if wayne couzens hadn't have had a

warrant card, there is a chance that sarah everard would not have trusted him. what will you do at the moment right now, of the people in the metropolitan police force who cannot be trusted? if you read this report, baroness casey says she cannot sufficiently assure you there are no more people like wayne couzens in the police force right now? fine more people like wayne couzens in the police force right now?- the police force right now? one of the police force right now? one of the aood the police force right now? one of the good things — the police force right now? one of the good things about _ the police force right now? one of the good things about this - the police force right now? one of the good things about this report | the police force right now? one of| the good things about this report is she sets out a road map. it is not your symptoms and diagnosis, but also prognosis as well. the very first thing is for me to accept that prognosis going forward. she makes recommendations starting now, what can happen, which is incredibly important. what the commission has already begun, which will give you some reassurance, is to go back and look at every single case where an officer or a member of police staff has had a complaint made against him. he mentioned quite rightly, the cases of wayne couzens and david carrick. in the last ten years, has

there been an officer or staff member made against them —— complaint made against them, in case somebody has slipped through the net. we can answer the question could there be another wayne couzens, another david carrick, a predator, a paedophile using their position as police officer, you mentioned the warrant card, to commit further offences. that review, we should have the response back at the end of the month, should give some reassurance. we don't know if there are other lease offices like that until the review has been undertaken. we have to make sure there is a zero tolerance of any incident. deciding some things are trivial when it comes to sex six banter and some things are trivial when it comes to racism, some things are trivial when it comes to homophobia cannot stay. so this side of being antiracist,

anti—misogynist, anti—homophobic is so important. that is what the new commission has agreed to do. london ma or, commission has agreed to do. london mayor. thank— commission has agreed to do. london mayor. thank you _ commission has agreed to do. london mayor, thank you very _ commission has agreed to do. london mayor, thank you very much - commission has agreed to do. london mayor, thank you very much for- mayor, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. in an exclusive interview with bbc breakfast, has been damaged as a result of the failings. what i can say is that earlier this year in the case of david carrick, what we all learn was shocking, it was absolutely shocking, the abuse of power by people who wear in a position of trust and exploiting largely very vulnerable women. and that was wrong and i said so at the time. i actually went and met with the police commissioner from the met and louise casey to discuss this, because it's right that the police have to restore confidence and trust back into policing.

there needs to be a change in culture and leadership and i know the new metropolitan commissioner will no doubt reflect on the findings of louise's report, but is already making changes and that's right. because what was happening before it is simply shocking and unacceptable. you've talked in the past about your own worries about your childrens�* safety. if your daughters said to you over the breakfast table, dad, can i trust the police in london? what do you say to them? you know, we need the answer to that question to be yes. but is the answer yes? at the moment the trust in the police has been hugely damaged by the things that we've discovered over the past year. even your trust? everybody's trust. but what we need to do is now is make sure that won't be repeated and we can regain people's trust. and i know the police commissioner is committed to doing

that, he is committed to making the changes. there were already some changes under way at the moment, by the way. it's notjust in london, across the country we've changed guidance for police forces for how they vet new police officers. we are currently in the process of all police forces are checking all their police officers again against the database and they are all being inspected by the independent inspector of police forces to make sure that that's all happening. so those are things that will help give people confidence. but you talk about my daughter, ultimately i want my daughters to grow up in a society where not only do they have trust in the police, itsjust fundamentally safe. and we will be talking to the metropolitan police commissioner sir mark rowley in about an hour's time. we are putting all of those points to him. we will hear more from the prime minister. it was a wide—ranging interview we did at downing street yesterday, talking about the cost of living, small boats, about borisjohnson and dominic rapp, how he deals with that. all of that to come just after eight o'clock. —— dominic raad.

talking about leadership, let's get the sport. do you criticise your players and hope to get a reaction? antonio conte has gone at his players fully. he has had a tricky time, it has been rocky for a while. he is making it worse, isn't he? intentionally? he likes to drive high standards and if people don't seem to kinda fall in line with those and his expectations, then he leaves a wake of devastation in his trail. it is as a result we are coming to the end of his time at tottenham, expected news of his departure this week. good morning. a serial winner, a man tasked with bringing that winning mentality to tottenham faces the sack this week. it follows his outburt as tottenham

blew a two goal lead to draw with bottom of the table southampton. it's expected the club will sack the italian coach this week and that he will not be in place for the club's next game away to everton on april 3rd. conte called the players selfish in a ten minute tirade. roy hodgson, will soon be back in the cut and thrust of premier league life — he's set to come out of retirement to replace patrick viera at crystal palace until the end of the season. it was viera who was brought in to replace hodgson let's not forget. but if at 75 he thought his managerial days were behind him, well not so, he will be right in the thick of it again, trying to steer crystal palace to safety and away from a relegation fight. as expected, after shoving the referee, fulham's aleksandar mitrovic faces a lengthy ban. he's been charged with violent and improper conduct, this was the incident again.

the fa said the standard punishment of three matches was "clearly insufficient". the player could now face a ban for the rest of the season. the club has landed an additional charge of failing to control its players. now if there was one player you wouldn't want to be without at the moment, it's marcus rashford. such has been his form since the world cup for manchester united. but he's out of england's up coming matches in this international break. they're important ones too, the start of qualifying for the next major tournament, the euros in 2024. england face italy and ukraine. rashford has scored 27 goals this season. newcastle keeper nick pope and chelsea's mason mount are also out. huge week ahead in the women's champions league.

arsenal take on bayern munich in the quarter finals — they're hoping to become the first english side to win the trophy in 16 years. hoping to add to their league cup victory over chelsea earlier this month as well. georgia stanway will be centre stage, once of mancheser city she'll be facing some of her international team mates over the two legs. just so good to be back playing in the champions league, playing in europe and yeah, arsenal as well. massively looking forward to seeing some of the girls. there will be a little bit of stick flying between me and leah as well, which i'm looking forward to. but a big game, we are playing at the alliace here and the emirates there and you can't get much bigger than that. and, yeah, it'sjust going to be so special. england captain and world cup winner hunter has announced she is to retire from rugby union. the 37—year—old will play her last ever game for england against scotland this saturday in their opening six nations match. and what a way to go, she will play her final game at kingston park in newcastle — the city of her birth. well deserved, she's the most capped women's player and will appear in her 16th six nations.

16! that is a lot of games. most capped player in women's international rugby. what a lovely way to go, in front of the fans in your home city. thank you very much. we have been talking about the rain coming our way. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. we do need it though? we do, indeed. in parts of eastern scotland, the rain is desperately needed. this graph shows throughout the year, january through to december, this is how much water in the reservoir in devon and cornwall. this dark line is where we are at the moment. notice the dry february and the reservoir is stopped filling up. they're starting to see a bit of an

uptick and we desperately need that to continue. this part of the year is crucial to help safeguard some of the water supplies later into spring andindeed the water supplies later into spring and indeed summer. i show you that because there is more rain to come. the big picture across the atlantic at the moment shows this string of cloud, some heavy rain underneath that which will continue to push towards us on and off through the rest of the week. today, we are into that little gap between the rain has been clearing through the night and approaching for later. the far north—east of scotland throughout, but elsewhere sunshine or hit or miss downpours throughout the day. some of the showers could be quite frequent through the afternoon in a line from south—west england to east anglia, north midlands and parts of northern england but the wettest weather later will be northern ireland. some of you will be dry throughout the day. breezy than yesterday, but coming from a south—westerly direction it is

bringing more milder air. south—westerly direction it is bringing more milderair. a south—westerly direction it is bringing more milder air. a warmer day than yesterday across scotland, temperatures up to 15 degrees in aberdeenshire. 15 or 16 through central and eastern england. persistent rain across western areas for the first part of the night. bit more erratic as it works its way in tomorrow morning. as far as the temperatures are concerned, seven to 11 degrees as we start wednesday. morrow, the bigger story more widely, is underneath this area of low pressure, stronger winds. strong winds working across the north of scotland through the day, 60, 70 mile an hour gusts possible and got stevens elsewhere. heavy showers across the north—east, persistent rain easing away from shetland temporarily but for many it is back to sunshine and showers. although cloud and patchy rain and drizzle could linger through the english channel and the far south—east. tomorrow those wins are set very strong but once again they are from a south—westerly direction so another mile day in store. back to

both. she's the multi—award winning goalkeeper whose acrobatics and penalty shoot—out heroics helped secure hockey olympic gold in rio in 2016. maddie hinch is a field—hockey stalwart with one of the most decorated histories in the sport and over 150 international appearances for england and great britain. maddiejoins us now, and you've got a bit of news this morning haven't you. you're here for a special reason? i am, it is the official announcement for my retirement. a new chapter and i'm excited for it. haifa for my retirement. a new chapter and i'm excited for it.— i'm excited for it. how does it feel to sa it i'm excited for it. how does it feel to say it out _ i'm excited for it. how does it feel to say it out loud? _ i'm excited for it. how does it feel to say it out loud? a _ i'm excited for it. how does it feel to say it out loud? a bit _ i'm excited for it. how does it feel to say it out loud? a bit strange, i think it will _ to say it out loud? a bit strange, i think it will be — to say it out loud? a bit strange, i think it will be overwhelming, i to say it out loud? a bit strange, i | think it will be overwhelming, have been building up to this moment. i am excited to be sharing this news. you don't imagine this day will come to life. we think you will play for the rest of your life, but that is the rest of your life, but that is

affectionately known as mad dog, hinch shone with her agility and specialised in shoot—out. commentator: hinch to the rescue. i've always been a bit of a geek when it comes to these things and i love doing my homework. and all that attention to detail certainly paid off. she was named world goalkeeper of the year three times in a row. absolutely relentless in everything she does. it's not good enough for her to be good, she has to be the best in the world. last summer, hinch was instrumental as england made history again when they won commonwealth gold in front of a home crowd in birmingham. maddie hinch. the greatest goalkeeper in women's hockey at the moment. _ this hero in helmet leaves behind an unrivalled legacy. must be quite mind blowing to watch that back? that must be quite mind blowing to watch that back? ., ., , ,., that back? that was quite something. incredibly special. _ that back? that was quite something. incredibly special. just _ that back? that was quite something. incredibly special. just watching i incredibly special. just watching it, immense sense of pride and

of the best sports in the world. we wish ou of the best sports in the world. we wish you all the best and thank you for all of those years and amazing performances. maddie hinch. good luck. we got the headlines in a moment. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm angie george. a review into the metropolitan police has accused the force of being institutionally racist, misogynist and homophobic. the report says the met has failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women and that organisational changes have put women and children at greater risk. the review by baroness louise casey was commissioned following the murder of sarah everard by a serving police offcer. the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, accepted that there is racism, misogyny and homophobia in the force but said he would not use the term

"institutional racism." he's apologised to those let down by the met. a day of action by those renting privately is due to take place later today. they want the government to address what they see as a "renting crisis" by introducing the delayed renters reform bill and to abolish "no—fault" evictions. a rally is due to be held in london later. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. rain will gradually clear eastwards, leaving some sunny spells later but still the chance of a shower, and we're expecting more rain tonight too. highs today, a mild 15 celsius, that's it. back to sally and jon.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... the damning report into britain's biggest police force. the metropolitan police is accused of failing those it's meant to protect. institutional racism, institutional sexism, institutional misogyny and homophobia are definitely present across the organisation. there are now calls to break up the met. the prime minister gives his response to breakfast. if your daughter said to you over the breakfast table, "dad, can i trust the police in london? what do you say to them?" of course. we need the answer to that question to be yes. but is the answer yes? well, clearly at the moment, trust in the police has been hugely damaged by the things that we've discovered over the past year. even your trust?

everybody's trust. we also speak to rishi sunak about the cost of living, immigration and the fate of his predecessor, borisjohnson. and in other news. the health divide — why deaths from lung conditions like asthma are three times higher in some parts of the uk than in others. a little less — of every little helps. tesco becomes the latest retailer to reduce the bonuses of its reward scheme. supermarkets are making savings too. what does it mean for you? another very mild march day today. a bit more sunshine compared with yesterday. grab a brolly. there will be a few showers around. all the details later on. it's tuesday 21st march. our main story. "institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic." those are the findings of a damning review of the metropolitan police published this morning. baroness casey's report says that a boy's club culture is rife and the force has failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women.

the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley, said the report prompted feelings of "shame and anger" — but also increased his resolve to bring about change. our special correspondent, lucy manning reports. let's remember how all this began. sarah everard walking home — kidnapped, raped and murdered by a met police officer. it shocked then and this report is frightening. a force that is broken, failing. there is, without doubt, a discriminatory culture right across the metropolitan police. and i think that institutional racism, institutional sexism, institutional misogyny and homophobia are definitely present across the organisation. we think the met is not able to assure all of us that its officers are of sufficient integrity and standards to be serving police officers, so it needs

to clean itself up. the met has lost the consent to police, the report believes. it can't protect its own female gay and minority ethnic staff and it can't provide adequate policing for these groups when they're victims of crime. for too long, the met has had predatory officers and a culture of denial about the scale of its problems. the details set out in this report of a broken force are frankly horrific. rape evidence that had to be discarded because the fridges in police stations didn't work. a sikh officer who had his beard cut by colleagues, a muslim officer, who found bacon in his boots and female officers routinely targeted and humiliated by their male counterparts. couzens and carrick, the met�*s murderer and its rapist. baroness casey clear those who have the powers to search, arrest and detain need to have the trust and confidence of those they police. so this needs to be a landmark moment.

the commissioner of the met apologetic, promising change, but not accepting every word of the report, despite baroness casey's plea to do so. it's disturbing. it's upsetting. it's heartbreaking. i apologise to those who've suffered as a consequence. do you accept baroness casey's findings that the force is institutionally racist, institutionally misogynistic and institutionally homophobic? i accept her diagnosis about the racism, misogyny, homophobia in the organisation, and also that we have these systemic failings, management failings and culturalfailings. i understand her use of the term institutional. it's not a term i use myself. shabnam chaudhri was a detective superintendent in the met and lived through some of the racism the review highlights. there were officers that were outrightly racist towards me and then there were those that had the banter. but there was a particular officer, for example, who whenever i was out of the room,

referred to me as the p, with the p word, and it's only my colleagues that actually told me. she believes the met must change from the top to the bottom. my message to sir mark rowley is implement your systems and processes, ensure that your leadership is strong, ensure that leadership is supported at every level. ensure that those who want to whistle blow can speak out, so that you can root out the dirty, rotten apples that sit within your organisation that have a huge detrimental impact on trust and confidence. reports have come, commissioners have gone and still the met hasn't changed. the warning is this is its last chance. if it doesn't, it could face being broken up. for too long, it has failed too many — the very people who need protecting. victims of crime. black and asian communities, women and children. people just walking home. lucy manning, bbc news.

we will talk a lot more about that as the programme goes on. borisjohnson's written evidence against claims he misled parliament over parties in downing street in lockdown is set to be published today. in downing street in lockdown is set the former prime minister will be quizzed in person by parliament's cross—party privileges committee tomorrow. our chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, what can we expect today? drama? eight eight, sally. lots of debate about _ drama? eight eight, sally. lots of debate about the _ drama? eight eight, sally. lots of debate about the process - drama? eight eight, sally. lots of debate about the process of i drama? eight eight, sally. lots of. debate about the process of getting as johnson in front debate about the process of getting asjohnson in front of this committee. his team are frustrated the submission he made yesterday has not been published yet. the privilege committee is going through it with lawyers to check what needs to be redacted. a spokesman said thatis to be redacted. a spokesman said that is to make sure it does not identify anyone unnecessarily. we

will get that later today and it will get that later today and it will give a sense of what both johnson's to france is against those accusations that he misled parliament knowingly or recklessly. it will focus on borisjohnson saying, look, iwas it will focus on borisjohnson saying, look, i was told it will focus on borisjohnson saying, look, iwas told by it will focus on borisjohnson saying, look, i was told by my officials that no rules are being broken and that is why i told parliament that. some people will buy their defence and some people quite frankly will not. we will get more of the process later today. also their substance. and that mammoth session in parliament tomorrow afternoon where boris johnson's arguments will be tested by the seven mps johnson's arguments will be tested by the seven mp5 on the privileges committee. most of them conservative, four tories, two labour and one from the snp. this is a big dealfor the future of labour and one from the snp. this is a big deal for the future of boris johnson. if the committee decided he did mislead parliament but they could ask him to apologise but they could ask him to apologise but they could also ultimately recommend he

is suspended from parliament. if that were to happen for ten days it could trigger a by—election. it is a big moment in deciding what boris johnson's political future may big moment in deciding what boris johnson's politicalfuture may or may not be. johnson's political future may or may rrot be— two rail strikes next week will go ahead as the dispute between the rmt union and the train operating companies continues. however, a long—running dispute between thousands of rail workers and network rail has come to an end, as staff voted to accept a new pay offer. the deal will see pay rises for signal workers and maintenance staff. northern ireland's democratic unionist party is set to vote against a key part of the government's new deal on trading arrangements following brexit. its leader sirjeffrey donaldson says he will continue to work with the government on "outstanding issues." but downing street say there are no plans for substantial changes to the deal as mp5 prepare to vote on the plans. the family of a headteacher, who took her own life after an ofsted inspection have

called for a change to a regime they say is "punitive." ruth perry died injanuary after working at caversham primary school for 13 years. it was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate after a visit from inspectors. aru na iyengar reports. ruth perry, headteacher of caversham primary in reading, described the ofsted inspection in november as the worst day of her life. her family says she was under intolerable pressure when she was told the school was rated inadequate. this one—word judgement was just destroying 32 years of her vocation. education was her vocation. now unions and school leaders are asking for changes. dr mary bousted from the national education union said ofsted should pause its inspections and reflect upon the unmanageable and counter—productive stress they cause for school leaders now unions and school leaders

are asking for changes. dr mary bousted from the national education union said ofsted should pause its inspections and reflect upon the unmanageable and counter—productive stress they cause for school leaders and the impact on leaders. one executive head teacher at a nearby school said she refused now unions and school leaders are asking for changes. dr mary bousted from the national education union said ofsted should while schools do need to be monitored, i think that something does need to be looked into this and perhaps changes do need to be made where there's a bit less pressure kind of put on schools. you have got to stand up and be counted, don't you? otherwise, people... that's how change happens. matthew purvis, ofsted's regional directorfor the south east, said... a petition calling for changes to the inspection system has so far gathered more than 90,000 signatures. the department for education said inspections are hugely important, as they hold schools to account for their educational standards. caversham primary�*s report

is yet to be published on the ofsted website. meanwhile, the school is grieving for its head teacher. aruna iyengar, bbc news. as we've been telling you this morning — the prime minister rishi sunak has been speaking exclusively to breakfast. yesterday, i travelled to 10 downing street to ask him about everything. from the cost of living, to strikes, politics and — of course, borisjohnson, dominic raab and policing. let's hear what he had to say. prime minister, i think this is the first time you have done an interview with the breakfast programme since you moved into number 10. it is a great pleasure to do it. thank you for having us. i was just wondering what is breakfast time like in the sunak household these days? busy. more busy than it used to be, put it that way. i tend to get up relatively early. i try to always see my girls,

my daughters if i can for five or ten minutes before they disappear off in the morning. i am lucky i have one of the shortest commutes in the country, upstairs to downstairs, so that makes things a bit easy. i tend to be at my desk around 7:45am. there will be millions of families watching this morning, even at breakfast, and they will be thinking about the cost of living, —— over their breakfast, and they will be thinking about the cost of living, the bills they have to pay this week and how they can feed the kids. they are going to think that we have had a terrible few years. and the stark fact in the budget from your own body that reviews government finances, the obr, saying that in the next couple of years still to come, the uk is still facing the sharpest drop in living standards since the 19505. i think people will wonder, are they paying the price for the way your party has managed the economy over the last 13 years? i know it is tough right now. the number one challenge people are facing is exactly what you said, it is the bills. opening up a bill every week and saying, "what is going on? it keeps going up."

if you think about, why are we in that situation? we have experienced two once—in—a—generation, once—in—a—century type shocks in the space of a couple of years, as you said. the first of those was obviously covid. the pandemic really shut down the country and the economy and then it reopened. around the world, with all the challenges, that put on inflation and supply chains. the next shock was obviously the war in ukraine, russia's illegal invasion, which has caused an enormous spike in energy prices. when you put those two things together, that is the main reason we are seeing challenges on inflation that we are. i know that is the issue and that is why the beginning of the year, when i set up my five promises to the country, the first of those was to halve inflation because it is inflation that is causing the problem. inflation driving up bills, energy bills, bills of everything. and i want to bring inflation down.

if we can do that, as the budget, and you mentioned the obr, they talked about our plan. our plan is working. inflation is due to fall back to target before the end of the year. if we can do that and stick to a plan, that is the best thing we can do to ease that burden than on the cost of living. you say it is about covid and the war in ukraine. but if you look back, even before those two events happened, wages in the uk were pretty much stagnant from the moment your party came into office in 2010. it has flatlined, the economy, over a much longer period than the last three years. that is not actually quite true. if you look at the forecast from international bodies they have done them. over the past few years, since 2010, looking at the largest economies in the world, we compete with, like the us,

canada germany, france and italy, japan, those big seven economies, we actually have third fastest growth since 2010 of those economies. talking about wages, a particular priority for me and for the previous conservative governments was to raise wages of those on the lowest pay. something i'm proud we are doing is increasing the national living wage. that will up by about £1,400 this coming year. again, making sure those on the lowest pay will get the help they need, making sure their wages are going up. the other ones needing the most help to cope with some of the bills. —— they are the ones needing the most help to cope with some of the bills. that is really important and that is what we are doing. let's talk about people on the lowest pay. figures such bbc panorama have got from the resolution foundation suggests the average british worker is £11,000 worse off every year than they were 50 years ago. how can that be? i have not seen all those numbers. the same body also talked, when i was chancellor and just came in, about the boom at the time. they described it as a mini boom

because wages were rising actually at a relatively strong rate going into the pandemic. actually at a decent level. the point is, that was then. we have to focus on the situation now. the situation now, because of the war, because of the pandemic, inflation is far too high. that is why my number one priority is to halve inflation. that is why the budget set out support for people, freezing fuel duty helping them with energy bills, extending free childcare — all things that make a difference to people's lives. and we are on track. the forecast shows inflation will come back down over the course of this year. as that happens, people will feel that in their bank accounts and that is why it is my number one priority. i want to ease the burden on the cost of living. halving inflation is absolutely critical for that. right now they are not feeling it, are they? the same research suggest people on the lowest incomes in the uk are now 20%, 22% poorer than the poorest people in france and in germany. they had a pandemic. they are living with the effects of the war in ukraine. a lot of people will be thinking, why are we in the uk

suffering so much more? i am not sure again that is quite right. if you look at unemployment in this country, for example, it is parliament than most other countries that you —— it is far lower than most other countries that you would compare us to. that is a good thing. it is better to have people in work than not in work. maybe france is an example that is a good example. many more people are unemployed there compared to here in the uk. you talked about those on the lowest incomes. again, that is really important to me. that is why the national living wage is going up the degree it is going up, over 6%, £1,400. that is going to critically help those on the lowest paid. as well as support we are providing with energy bills. i'm going to go back to it. just for people to understand the scale of what we are doing. about half of that energy bills over the winter has been paid for by the government because we tax the profits of energy companies. it's worth about £1,500, as we've extended that support.

i think people will recognise when no government can do absolutely everything. of course we would like to do even more. people can see that is a serious effort to help people with energy costs. panorama heard from a lady called nikki in cornwall. she works as a carer. she is on £10.50 an hour and her kitchen is in darkness. she cannot afford a light bulb for the kitchen until her daughter gets paid next week. she is working in social care. it is hard to believe that is the uk in 2023, isn't it? you were the chancellor. you have been chief secretary for the treasury. now you are prime minister. your fingerprints are all over this economy, aren't they? i am actually really proud... that simply can't afford a light bulb. talking about social care. i am proud one of the things we did after i became prime minister was make some difficult decisions elsewhere. for example, decided to tax the profits of the largest companies more, given circumstances we are in. but when somebody cannot afford a light bulb. let me explain what we are trying to do to help. we are using that money to help

people in those circumstances. we are putting more money into social care, in particular. nikki is not feeling it in her life. i want to make sure we are helping nikki. nikki, as you know, we are putting billions of pounds more into social care everywhere and that will help make sure she can be well—paid. we are making sure that nikki's energy bill is taken care of by the government to the tune of about £1,500. that is really helpful for those on the lowest pay. they're going to get about £1,400. and for those on welfare, again, for example, and again i don't know nikki's example, whether she is on universal credit or not. she is going to receive direct help this year, £900. in the meantime, nikki is using a food bank. i just wonder whether you agree with what lee anderson, he was recently promoted from within the conservative party, what he said. anyone earning 30—odd grand a year, which most nurses are quite using a food bank, they have got something wrong with their own finances. do you agree? those people have done something wrong themselves? it is incredibly sad anyone has to use a food bank. do you agree with that? i'm just explaining. it is incredibly sad anyone has to use a food bank and i wish they didn't. while they do, i'm very grateful

to the people who run the banks for the help they provide. the best way for me to help people, whoever it is, nikki or others, is to make sure we are reducing inflation. looking at your actions in the budget last week, they will think, hang on a minute in the budget uk that the tax base to some of the richest people in the country on the pension pots enable wonder, how can it be right at a time when other people are going to the food bank? how does that make sense? how is that an action you are proud of? let's look at the budget in the round. the budget also froze fuel duty, which will help everyone as they are filling up their car. extended free childcare, which is going to make a major difference to working families up and down the country, it was a big ask. and it's the same budget that extended our help with energy bills. so we did lots of things that are going to help people. but on this question about pensions, what's this about? this is about cutting waiting lists. you know, at this point, think about it, i'm sure almost

every person watching this has in their extended circle of friends and family, someone who is waiting for treatment. and the reason for that is because we had a pandemic and whilst the nhs was dealing with that, people were not seeing their gp, hospitals were not able to do the normal business they do and that's why we've got waiting lists, why everyone watching will know somebody that's waiting for one. i don't think that's right. and again, at the beginning of the year i set out my priorities and one of them was to cut nhs waiting lists. and in orderfor us to accomplish that, we need our best doctors, our experienced doctors, we need them working. and they want to work, they want to help get the waiting lists down, they want to work longer hours, they don't want to retire. and because of the tension regime they were stopped from doing that. —— pension regime. it was preventing them from doing that and i want to get the waiting lists down, that's why we made the changes we've made and it's going to benefit everyone to get health care quicker. ok, so give me a number, how many doctors are going to stay in theirjobs because of that change? at the moment, there are thousands of doctors that leave the nhs every year. and i think actually, you've had on your own show, i think you've had

people from the bma, from the pension committee saying that even since the change was announced they had people contacting them wanting to come about people leaving. sure, but how many doctors will stay in theirjobs? thousands retire every year, but it's notjust about people leaving. what we know is somewhere between about two thirds and three quarters of doctors have said that because of the tension —— pension regime they are stopped from working extra hours. so it's notjust about leaving, it's about working extra hours, about two thirds to three quarters of all doctors have said that. and similarly, about two thirds and three quarters of the doctors have said they are thinking about retiring early. i've read today that it might only be 100 doctors a year that stay on because of this change, meanwhile loads of very rich people get an awful lot of tension back? hang on, hang on, as i said there are thousands of doctors that leave the nhs every year. about two thirds to three quarters of them have said they don't provide extra hours. it's notjust about whether they leave or stay, it's about whether they are doing the extra shifts because that's what's going to help us get the backlog down. and this is something that has been described as potentially transformational. those are not my words, those are the words of the bma in helping us solve this problem.

but you can't tell us how many doctors are going to stay on? the key thing is, overall actually, we think 12,000 people will be working more in the workforce, those are the estimates. i think we can do even better than that, but the key thing is, i want to get the waiting list down. and i think everyone watching who has a family member waiting on an nhs waiting list will want that person, grandmother, grandparent, aunt, uncle to get that treatment as quickly as possible. because of this change we are going to be able to do that. we are already making great progress in bringing the waiting lists down. we have put more money into the nhs, but this change will really help us deliver four people. —— deliver for people. let's stay with the nhs, there is now a pay deal on the table after months of you saying there is no extra money, suddenly there is some money and there is an offer. where is that money coming from? is it new money or is that coming from existing nhs money? the first thing to say, we were always consistent about our desire to try and find a way through this situation. i'm really glad that we have, we found an agreement with several unions who represent over a million nhs workers for a fair and reasonable pay deal. that agreement, and it represents whether it's nurses, midwives, paramedics,

it rightly recognises all those nhs workers for the incredible job they do whilst also being affordable for the taxpayer and allowing us to deliver on our promises to halve inflation, as we have been talking about and cut the waiting lists. but is it new money? we will always make sure the nhs is well funded... is it new money? the nhs does have new money, yes, it has £14 billion... is this new money? hang on, we're just about to start the financial year and the nhs and social care will have £14 billion more over the next couple of years. why? and it's coming out of that? because we put decisions in place, i did as chancellor, i did as prime minister. difficult decisions elsewhere and we are using that money to make sure the nhs is well funded and that's important. but what equally important is how we use that money. i think people watching will say they want the nhs to be well funded, but they want to know what it's going on. i tell them, it's going on more doctors and nurses, it's going on more beds and ambulances and we are going to put in more scanners to get people treated quickly, but also people want to note that we are working effectively. —— want to know. striking worked didn't it, for the nhs? strikers, they got you to the table, they got an offer and

they got more money? this was about making, getting to a place that's affordable for the taxpayer and consistent with our ambitions to reduce inflation, to halve inflation and also to cut waiting lists. those are the promises i set out to the country at the beginning of the year, to cut the waiting lists and we've always said we wanted to have constructive dialogue that would enable us to meet those objectives. and i'm really pleased we have, so we can recognise the work that are nhs workers do. —— our nhs workers do. that's what people would like us to do, but we spent the beginning of this interview talking about inflation and the cost of living. so anything we do has to be affordable for the taxpayer. we talk about living standards, we want to reduce taxes over time for people so that they can have more money in their pocket. we need to reduce inflation so that we can ease the burden. so doing something on pay that didn't help us do those, it wouldn't be the right thing for the country and i'm really pleased we got to this place. the key thing now is everyone is focused on moving forward together, doctors, nurses, everybody and get

the backlogs down, that's what we need to do. let's talk about boats, you've pledged to stop the boats as prime minister? so can you give us a number? it was 45,000 people who crossed the channel in small boats last year, what do you think it should be by the time we get to say the end of next year, before the election? i want to stop the boats, that's what i said. but what's it going to be? let's talk through what's going on and again, i made five promises to the country at the beginning of the year, the fifth one was to stop the boats. and the reason for that, i know this is a priority for the country, i know it's a priority for me. you said it, 45,000 people crossed illegally into our country year. —— last year. the crucial thing, people know why you are doing it but they want to know what you can get it down to? what is acceptable to you? no illegal migration is acceptable, of course not. so you are genuinely going to stop the boats, no more boats? that's what we are trying to do. i don't think anyone would sit here and say to you that they tolerate any illegal migration, of course we don't want to tolerate any illegal migration. look, this is actually about

fairness and it's really important. you talk about 45,000 people and that number has gone up four times in just a couple of years. it's extraordinary what's happening and we've got to stop it. the reason is not right is this, it's not fair on people who are actually trying to come here legally. it's not fair to those who are being exploited by criminal gangs. some of whom who actually tragically lose their lives. it's not fair because we can't target our compassion on the people who most need it and it's not fair on all the people watching, the hard—working british public who are currently paying £5.5 million a day to house illegal asylum seekers in hotels. none of that is right and we have got to stop that and that is what our new bill will help us do. at the time of the last election, it was 2,000 people a year crossing the channel in small boats, can you get it down to that again by the time of the next election? my strong desire is to try and stop illegal migration... but surely you have a target, a number? people need to be able to judge and say, he's done it, he's not done it. i don't think any illegal migration is acceptable. so you will get it down to zero

by the time of the election? people will be able tojudge me by my actions at the next election, jon, i'm perfectly comfortable with that. but what we should be talking about is what we are doing, because for people watching this who say i have heard a lot of talk about this issue before and no one has done anything, what is this guy, what is this government doing about it? we are introducing this new law which will, for the first time, make it clear that if you come to this country legally —— illegally, you won't be able to stay, you will be detained and you will be swiftly removed, either to your home if it's safe, or to a safe alternative like rwanda. that is one of the things we are doing. it's nearly a year ago since we first heard about rwanda, nobody has gone to rwanda apart from the home secretary? the reason for that is because the policy, as we said at the time, is being challenged and we said that we would defend it in the courts and that's what we're doing. the good news is we've had one court judgment already which said the government was absolutely in the right. but there is further legal proceedings that are going on. we have to go through those, we will continue to defend our case and it's only until those court proceedings have finished and i'm

not the one who sets the dates for those, and when those court proceedings have finished and we hope to be successful, as we have been so far, then we will be able to stop flights to rwanda. —— start flights. but look, what's really important... the home secretary said this summer? no, that's not what she said, what she said actually is when the court process is concluded then we will be able to start flights as quickly as we can. ultimately, we have to go through the court process, the policy is being challenged and we've won the first battle of those and we will continue to defend the policy. we had a phrase used a lot in the interview. judge me on my actions. talked a lot about the economy and kept bringing it back to inflation. over the way he would handle boris johnson and dominic raab. judge me on my actions. he clearly wants to build up a record so at the time of the next election he will have a track record. what was it like being there? he feels like he is beginning to own the place. still getting his

head around the fact he has lived there as chancellor. he is now living above 10 downing street, it is home. as he walked up the staircase, he was showing me the portraits of all previous prime minister is hanging on the world. he admitted it is a pretty daunting thing to walk past on your way to the office each morning. on the way to the staircase there was not a portrait of borisjohnson or liz truss. is that deliberate and pointed? he said, no, we have not managed to get them up in time. they will go up. it is interesting. the johnson, travis legacy, those names inspectors hangover downing street and will do for the next election. lots of the photos look quite similar, all the people are quite similar. closerto similar, all the people are quite similar. closer to the top people are starting to look different, which is a good thing. he wants to make his mark, he thinks he has

turned a corner and is on the front foot. he talked about the five priorities, the five pledges. you kept him on track. that is part of the interview. we played other chunks of it during the programme this morning. if you go on the website you will get the other bits talking about borisjohnson, dominic raab and policing. that is crucial about the met, his own thoughts as a dad and a london citizen about the state of policing in the capital. breakfast is on bbc one this morning until a quarter—past nine, when morning live takes over. sam and gethin can tell us what they have in store. coming up on morning live. it's the condition that so many people are terrified to get and can rob you of your memories. with almost a million people in the uk living with dementia, dr xand tells us how one in three cases could be prevented. new research suggests a mediterranean diet, like oily fish and fresh veg, could reduce your chance of developing it by 23%.

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm angie george. a review into the metropolitan police has accused the force of being institutionally racist, misogynist and homophobic. the report says the met has failed to protect the public from officers who abuse women and that organisational changes have put women and children at greater risk. the review, by baroness louise casey, was commissioned in the wake of the murder of everard by a serving police offcer. we know and we've known for a long time that we under protect certain communities in london, in my mind, black communities in particular and women and the over police them. so if you look at the use of force on black londoners it makes horrific reading. so i asked myself in 2023, right now, does that tell me that there is issues of systemic bias and racism in your organisation, in your institution? and my answer to that is yes.

the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, accepted that there is racism, misogyny and homophobia in the force but said he would not use the term "institutional racism". he's apologised to everyone let down by the met. you can hear more from sir mark when he speaks to bbc radio london's eddie nestor this morning from 10. and you can share your reactions to the report. basildon is getting more than £4 million to turn empty properties into digital workshops. it's hoped the money will support people working in film, tv, gaming and animation. basildon council says it will stimulate new businesses, and help redevelop the centre of the town. the luton dart, which links the airport with the railway, becomes fully operational today. the driverless shuttle carries passengers a—mile—and—a—half in about three minutes. it was due to open in 2020 and is one of the biggest

infrastructure projects ever seen in luton. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is going to be another mild but rather unsettled day today. we've got some outbreaks of rain this morning, clearing to sunshine and blustery showers. now the rain this morning is a front, it's fairly light and patchy, it's clearing eastwards. behind it, the cloud will break up, we'll see some sunny spells, yes, but also some sharp showers blowing through on that rather brisk south westerly winds gusting 30 to 35 miles per hour. now into this evening, those showers will start to clear. drier for a time, but we'll see our next front approaching through the early hours, more cloud and then some heavy rain. also, the wind will start to strengthen as that moves through. the minimum temperature between nine and 11 celsius. so a damp start again tomorrow morning. that rain clearing, it's going to be unsettled, though. sunshine, showers, but also the wind — you can see the isobars tomorrow squeezing together. we could see gusts of up to 40, 45 miles per hour. it stays unsettled, as you can see, we've got outbreaks of rain,

sunshine at times. a little bit chillier, though, as we head towards the end of the weekend into the first part of next week. that's all for now, we're back with your next update just after nine. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. new research shows that people in some parts of the country are three—times more likely than others to need emergency treatment for lung conditions like asthma and copd. around one in eight deaths in the uk are caused by chronic lung disease, making it the third largest killer behind cancer and heart disease. our reporterjim reed has been to see how one hospital is reducing admissions.

amy was just the centre of our family. she was just full of life, really. and she was only 22. she was just lovely. she had a heart of gold. joanne's daughter, amy, had lived with severe asthma all her life. the young mum always carried an inhaler and shielded at home through the pandemic. it's just breathing. it's something that everyone takes for granted. and, at times, amy could notjust breathe. i didn't want to come in. then in october, amy collapsed in the middle of the night. she couldn't breathe. an ambulance was called. they started her heart again. and then they took her to wigan royal infirmary. lots of people came into the room, into the family room and said that her brain had been starved of oxygen during the asthma attack. i actually feel sick as if i'm going in to get my results. and then have come home and,

on the friday night after school, and tell bailey that his mummy had died. which was just the worst thing i've ever had to do. the number of people like amy losing their lives to asthma has risen by a third in a decade, with the uk recording some of the highest rates in europe. i never thought that in this day and age that anyone would die of asthma. because i thought that there would be lots of things that people could do to stop it happening. but i was wrong. new research shows the impact of asthma and other lung conditions does though depend on where in the uk you live. in parts of the north west of england, for example, hospital

admissions and deaths are among the highest in the country. in places, double or even triple the rates seen in parts of london and the south east. the stark inequality we see is... patient groups say much more has to be done to close that gap. we need to make sure that we are dealing with the underlying causes of ill health by tackling air pollution and smoking rates and poor quality housing, but also making sure we're treating and supporting people to live well with the lung condition in order that we avoid these hospital admissions. olaf schneider was born in germany but now lives near glasgow. a former lorry driver, he's been diagnosed with another common lung condition, copd. out of the blue, i got the feeling, oh, i can't breathe. and it's like somebody puts steel around your chest and you can't breathe any more. it's very, very hard.

i'm very limited with my moving about. so, for example, when i come from the car inside, that is about ten metres and i have to sit down and catch my breath back. but olaf's now on a new scheme meant to keep him in his own home. every day he logs his symptoms, which can be recorded along with data from a fitness tracker and home breathing equipment. he can message directly over this app. all this data can then be analysed by his doctors. we can see the trends in that data. here, for instance, a flare up and then an improvement. the idea is to reduce hospital treatment. copd alone is now the second most common reason for an admission. a large proportion of these patients do not need to come to hospital. we now have the technology, the tools, the data to provide all the care that they require at home safely. if you look at the prevalence

of copd in the uk and globally, we'd be projected to be spending over 40 billion within the next 20 to 30 years per year. we cannot afford that. lung disease costs the nhs billions. new ideas, new projects, new targets on pollution and smoking should make a difference. but doctors say more still needs to be done to improve and save thousands of lives. jim reed, bbc news. let's return to our main story this morning. a damning review into the uk's biggest police force has been published this morning, after a year long investigation. baroness casey was appointed to investigate the culture at the metropolitan police following the rape and murder of sarah everard by serving officer wayne couzens. the 363—page report condemned the force as. institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic. the report said that staff

routinely experience sexism, there are racist officers and staff, and a "deep—seated homophobia" in the organisation. the report also accused the force of failing to protect the public from officers who abuse women, whilst predatory and unacceptable behaviour has �*been allowed to flourish'. and it says the that the met has a culture of denial, with �*systemic and fundamental problems�* in how the force is run — adding that the met could be dismantled if it does not improve. and we can speak now to the commissioner of the metropolitan police, sir mark rowley. good morning, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. your reflections on the findings and do you accept what baroness casey is saying? we you accept what baroness casey is sa in? . , you accept what baroness casey is sa in? , , you accept what baroness casey is sain? , saying? we accept the findings of the report- _ saying? we accept the findings of the report. obviously _ saying? we accept the findings of the report. obviously it— saying? we accept the findings of the report. obviously it is- saying? we accept the findings of the report. obviously it is a i saying? we accept the findings of| the report. obviously it is a deeply disturbing report and sparks a range of emotions, as i am sure for viewers and londoners. sparks anger and frustration, upset and for me,

on top of that, it also sparks pride because it is my officers who have called out this behaviour and they wanted to change. i am passionate about reforming policing and these matters and i find tens and thousands of men and women who want to be different. i know we have let londoners down, i apologise for that. i repeat that and going to challenge that and improve. let’s challenge that and improve. let's talk about it _ challenge that and improve. let's talk about it in _ challenge that and improve. let's talk about it in detail. _ challenge that and improve. let's talk about it in detail. the - challenge that and improve. let's talk about it in detail. the key findings of the met is institutionally racist, misogynist, homophobic and unacceptable behaviour has been allowed to flourish. the general public you are there to serve have been put last. i know you say you're proud of the people who have come forward and helped in this, but i am not entirely sure that would be my first reaction on hearing those words? i said, i said it is upsetting, it is angering and frustrating. we have let londoners down, i am very clear

about that. there is a journey of reform to do, we published a turnaround plan a couple of months ago and we are clear that louise casey's recommendations will feature in the next version of that plan. we are, step—by—step, going to change policing in london. we have built a stronger culture and capability, sacking officers more quickly. we are determinedly sorting out that minority that undermine us and the systemic failings which have allowed this to grow, we are tackling those step—by—step. you this to grow, we are tackling those step-by-step-_ this to grow, we are tackling those ste-b -ste. ., ., step-by-step. you mention the review and the findings _ step-by-step. you mention the review and the findings within _ step-by-step. you mention the review and the findings within a _ step-by-step. you mention the review and the findings within a month - and the findings within a month concerning individuals and police officers who are working at the moment, what happens then? what happens when you have gone through everybody, checked their records, what if you find people you are not happy to be serving as metropolitan police officers, what do you do then? . , police officers, what do you do then? ., , , .,

more than 24 years after the macpherson report after the handling of her son's racist murder. no surprise to me the report found the metropolitan police is riddled with deep—seated racism, sexism and homophobia. it is the metropolitan police force institutionally racist? i have accepted the report about the misogynist and homophobic behaviour and i understand it is used by some people. i am and i understand it is used by some people. iam not and i understand it is used by some people. i am not using that label myself, simply because it means different things to different people, it is ambiguous and has become quite politicised in recent debates. i have to stay out of that. but that is not me stepping away from the findings. the findings are brutal, i think they are accurate and we are going after these issues and we are going after these issues and we are going after these issues and we are going to sort it out. baroness doreen lawrence says, she agrees with the report, it is

the equipment, you mention the fridges, but the policies, they don't feel resourced and equipped to don't feel resourced and equipped to do theirjobs properly and we are changing those things day by day as well. all those areas, step—by—step improvement. i will not sit in front of londoners and say that we will get this sorted overnight, that would lack credibility. but they will see progress because we are absolutely determined to deal with theissues absolutely determined to deal with the issues identified here. 5ir absolutely determined to deal with the issues identified here. sir mark rowle , the issues identified here. sir mark rowley, metropolitan _ the issues identified here. sir mark rowley, metropolitan police i rowley, metropolitan police commissioner, thank you very much indeed. if you're a shopper who saves up your loyalty points to make the most of the best deals, you might have noticed some changes recently. tesco are the latest high street name to change how much theirs are worth. nina has the details. you like the satisfying feeling of a freebie, don't you? i collect every point. every point counts... or it did. good morning. our radars for a good deal

are on high alert at the moment as we try to stretch the pennies. loyalty cards are one way of helping. if you have a tesco clubcard you might be used to trilpling the value of your points at the likes of pizza express, legoland and many others. but from the 14th ofjune those deals get a bit stingier — they'll only be worth double the value. tesco told us customers will still be able to access the best value in their stores, and they're not the only ones changing their loyalty points. from may, boot�*s advantage card holders will get 25% less for every £1 they spend in store, earning three pence rather than four. and in november, sainsburys bank cut the amount of nectar points customers could earn by 75%, from earning two points for every £1 spent, to one point for every £2. that is a big jump. so why are the stores changing this? all the retailers are under massive pressure at the moment so the cost they are feeling are coming at them

from all angles. you have to look at every avenue, so what can i do to reduce the cost i have? clubcard is expensive to run and you have to look at if i can reduce that, make sure the points are not worth quite as much, how many customers will that impact? that is why they are doing that, looking at reducing their costs whilst faced with massive amounts of inflation. a bit like us, supermarkets are making savings. while inflation is due to come down later in the year, it's expected that food prices will stay high, so we might have to get used to paying more for less. one thing to look out for — it's predicted that supermarkets will begin to drop prices on certain items to get you through the doors. so shopping around might become more important than ever. you've been getting in touch with your comments this morning. this is from natalie, i am less

likely to go to a shop if they reduce the loyalty points. at the moment i choose boots over superdrug because their scheme is good. if they reduce the point i will go to a competitor. jenny got in touch and said she is a single mum, luxuries for the kids come to the club card. it really helps, it pays for the odd meal out, a day out and she will start shopping around and she says it is another way we are being squeezed in every direction. someone what's at said stop relying on vouchers and points, it is a benefit for shopping not a lifestyle. a tip for shopping not a lifestyle. a tip forjenny and you, john. you know you can get a voucher that goes to a certain restaurant or a day out at legoland, you can get them in advance ofjune the 14th and use them after that date. so get in there now. lunch on me then in that case. that would be a first! thank you very much. it has been a busy

morning. particularly foryou. for everybody, lots more to come on bbc breakfast this busy tuesday before we get to morning life. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8.59.
