hello, daniel. it does seem quite surprising that 31 years after the death of stephen lawrence and the met police are still apologising to the lawrence family. it is absolutely _ the lawrence family. it is absolutely extraordinary. j the lawrence family. it 3 absolutely extraordinary. one of the criticisms that was in the landmark macpherson report 25 years ago was the met�*s failure around family liaison, the failure to treat the lawrence family, stephen's parents, in the proper way, in a fair way, and we are 25 years on and the met commissioner himself is having to issue an apology today about the treatment and their liaison with the family. the failures by a very serious senior police officer, a deputy commissioner in the met police, he leaves the met pot response to serious crime so this is not a junior officer, this is a senior officer and when we published our investigation last year there was a meeting arranged —— he leads
the met�*s response to serious crime. the meeting with her lawyer, imran khan, and they were not happy with what the met were saying and that they would look at the case again. at that point the deputy commissioner was offering to provide more information about their handling of the sixth suspect, including what had previously been communicated to the family because they didn't feel very much had been communicated and then he completely failed to do so, admitted it was a failure and then again failed to do so, that is what has led to the commissioner having to get involved over the last few days.— over the last few days. parallel to that, baroness _ over the last few days. parallel to that, baroness lawrence - over the last few days. parallel to that, baroness lawrence is - over the last few days. parallel to that, baroness lawrence is now. that, baroness lawrence is now calling for the original murder investigation to be reopened. we heard in your report it was closed four years ago. what is the process for that? four years ago. what is the process forthat? how four years ago. what is the process for that? how is that? at —— how likely is that? that for that? how is that? at -- how likely is that?— for that? how is that? at -- how likely is that? at the moment the met sa s likely is that? at the moment the met says they _ likely is that? at the moment the met says they will _ likely is that? at the moment the met says they will not _ likely is that? at the moment the met says they will not reopen - likely is that? at the moment the met says they will not reopen it l likely is that? at the moment the i met says they will not reopen it and when they closed the case four years ago this at all viable lines of inquiry had been followed and
with arrest, not them. there were people crossing the road left, right and centre in any direction they wanted to. the incident has led to met chief sir mark rowley apologising twice in three days. he's since been summoned to an urgent meeting today with the mayor of london, sadiq khan. it comes amid calls for the commissioner to resign. sir mark and the met have come under fire for the way pro—palestinian marches have been accused of turning london into a no—go zone forjewish people. in a bid to mend those relations, he will also speak withjewish groups today. if i remain here, you will arrest me? mr falter has been invited to a private meeting with the met, which he has accepted. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. the prime minister will hold a press conference later, where he is expected to talk about the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda.
