Your running friend and where you are getting in touch from. we will share them throughout the morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i m victoria cook. the mayor of london has arranged an urgent meeting with the head of the met police after a row about the force s handling of pro palestinian marches. it comes after an officer ordered gideon falter to move, telling him he might provoke a reaction from demonstrators because he was openlyjewish . a spokesperson for sadiq khan described the incident as concerning . the force has apologised. today marks four weeks until a landmark report into what s described as the worst treatment disaster in nhs history. the infected blood scandal saw thousands of patients during the 19705 and 80s given products contaminated with viruses. mark was among them. he was a school boy when he found out he d contracted hiv, with doctors saying he might not
And revealed multiple failures by the met to properly investigate him. now, stephen s mother, baroness doreen lawrence, gives her first interview about the new evidence and the met s response. we knew there was five, possibly six. now we know that there were six. and the one that s just passed away, he s probably the key one who probably caused stephen s murder and they did nothing about it. we showed not everything possible was done before the murder investigation was closed four years ago. baroness lawrence now has a personal message for the met commissioner, sir mark rowley. there s still lines of inquiries for them to follow up on. there s still three suspects out there, and i m sure there s witnesses that probably could help them, if they re interested. so i think that s what i d like to see him do is to instruct his team to follow up on the information,
