Good Afternoon on what's been a rather dramatic day at the Old Bailey.
The Met has been found guilty of failing to keep the public safe.
It was one of those moments in the newsroom when you know everyone's watching the TV next to them, realising that this is a big story. It all goes back to the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes - on the 22nd July 2005. An innocent man was shot dead by the police. The capital was still reeling from the 7th July attacks and shuddering after the 21st July failed attacks. These were extraordinary times.
The Met has apologised several times to Jean Charles for its tragic mistake. They apologised again today - but that wasn't enough them and it wasn't enough for the jury.
So, what next?
The Met gets fined. But that's money it would have used in its public duties.
There are calls for Sir Ian Blair to resign. He's already said he won't go.
A full, public inquiry perhaps? Jean Charles' family have repeated their call for one.
We'll bring you all the angles - which are still developing.
We'll also hear from Keane about their charity gig in Brixton tonight... and from Lynda Bellingham about her new play at the Trafalgar Studios.
I think that's what you'd call busy...
See you at six.
Ben & Katie
