Afternoon,
The second report into the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes is finally out - and as leaks yesterday suggested it highlights serious errors of communication at the very top of The Met.
The report exonerates Met chief Sir Ian Blair from charges of deliberately misleading the public.
The report exonerates Met chief Sir Ian Blair from charges of deliberately misleading the public.
In a press conference today Sir Ian stressed again that he did not lie. However questions remain over HOW the message that an innocent man had been shot took so long to get to the man at the top. Especially when rumours were reaching OFF-DUTY officers at a cricket match on the afternoon of the shooting. We'll examine the report and speak to one of the men in charge on the day.
Away from our top story - a tragic tale of a young boy maimed for life after an horrific dog attack in Hoxton. 7 year old Wassim Seghir was mauled so badly by the Staffordshire Bull terrior that doctors say he's lucky to be alive. The little boy is having another operation today as surgeons battle to rebuild his face. So should there be more stringent controls on dogs ?
A couple in Wembley have made a pretty grim discovery in their back garden....a human skull. Police think the murder was likely to have occured just a year ago. We're on board with the real "cold case" experts as they attempt to solve the mystery.
Also....Covent Garden market away from the flowers and back to its roots - as a purveyor of fine foods. Sangeeta will be there tonight as it launches as a new evening food market. We'll be forcing her to eat chocolate cake, poor girl.
All that and Steve Hargrave chatting to some of pop's top producers-turned-performers...
AND Robin with his usual surreal brand of weather forecast.
It's happening at 6 - see you there.
Tamzin and Ben
