An urgent review into the risks associated with breast implants is | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
ordered by the Government. There's concern that existing evidence | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
about the potential dangers is not reliable. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
I just want them taken out. If I can get the money I will pay for | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
them to be taken out. I am desperate to get them out because I | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
am living with a black cloud over my head all the time. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
Amid the chaos in Syria, now a dispute between the Arab League | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
observers themselves about what they've actually seen. The FA | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
publishes the reasons behind the eight-match ban for Luis Suarez. He | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
racially abused another player seven times in two minutes. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
And, 2012 is welcomed in around the world as people here gear up for | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:10. | ||
Good evening. An urgent review into the risks associated with breast | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
implants has been announced by the Government. The Health Secretary is | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
concerned that the existing evidence about the potential | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
dangers is not reliable. Around 40,000 women in Britain are | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
believed to have had silicone implants fitted by a French company, | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
which has been shut down by authorities in France. Here's our | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh. It's a week since the French | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Government recommended the removal of all PIP implants. Ministers here | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
maintain that's not necessary, but now they're reviewing the safety | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
data submitted by all those who fitted the implants. If there are | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
any safety concerns we will act in order to provide them with whatever | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
recommend stkeu required. But teuplt I want to reiterate we don't | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
have evidence which would justify any routine removal of these breast | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
implants and don't have evidence of safety concerns. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
The PIP implants were banned last year as they contain non-medical | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
grade silicone. Around 40,000 British women have the implants, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
95% of the surgery was done in private clinics. The French say the | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
implants have a 5% rupture rate. Whereas in the UK, it's 1%, similar | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
to other brands. But now conflicting evidence from a private | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
health firm suggests the rupture rate here may be higher, too. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Jane Parry from Liverpool is worried. Although she's not had | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
health problems since having the PIP implants fitted, she wants them | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
out. I am shocked. Every day you are reading more stuff there's more | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
coming out, people are coming forward. You are bumping into | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
people you didn't know had implants and they're worried. Christmas has | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
not been Christmas for thus year. French and British experts stress | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
there is no increased breast cancer risk from the PIP implants. But if | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the review finds they are more likely to rupture, it's not clear | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
whether Ministers here will follow the French lead and offer to pay | :03:12. | :03:21. | |
for their removal. In Syria, there are the first signs | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
of disagreement among the Arab monitors in the country assessing | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the violence there. On the fifth day of their mission, the group's | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
leader has apparently contradicted claims, by one of his own observers, | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
that he'd seen government snipers on roof-tops. Jon Donnison has been | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
monitoring the situation from Beirut. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
The Arab League observers are in demand. But five days into their | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
mission to protect civilians and try and find out what's happening, | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
their role is becoming increasingly controversial. In the southern town | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
of Deraa yesterday one observer seemed to criticise the Government | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
and its use of roof-top snipers. Snipers, we saw them with our own | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
eyes, we call on the authorities to remove them immediately and we will | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
contact the Arab League immediately if they do not comply within 24 | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
hours. He is then interrupted by a man saying there are snipers in | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
their homes, to which he replies:. You are telling me there are | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
snipers and I am telling you that I seen the snipers with my own eyes, | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
with my own eyes. But today in an interview with BBC radio the man | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
who is leading the observer mission gave a different version of events. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
This man he said if he see by his eyes those snipers he will report | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
immediately and he will tell the Government, Syrian Government, but | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
he didn't see. He said that if he, if he. So it is just - it is not | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
correct in the media. Some have called him the world's most human | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
rights observer. He is already controversial. He is a staunch | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
loyalist of the Sudanese President, a man who is wanted by the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
International Criminal Court for genocide and crimes against | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
humanity. Meanwhile, Syrian state television has been hailing the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
observers' work, showing all the places they've been given access to | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
go. Such words from the head of the observers will further anger | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
opposition groups who believe the Arab League team is favouring the | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
Syrian Government. But all the while the crackdown | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
continues. These pictures, which we cannot verify, are in the northern | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
city of Idlib. Again, there were casualties. As the year draws to a | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
close, there's no end in sight to the violence in Syria. | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
A soldier from 1st Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment, has been killed | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
in an explosion in Afghanistan. It happened while he was on foot | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
patrol yesterday in Helmand Province. His family have been told. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Police have started using lie detectors to help them decide which | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
suspects to investigate. A pilot scheme has been run and the | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
Association of Chief Police Officers, which represents forces | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, says the technology could | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
become a useful tool. Sarah Campbell reports. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
Are you worried about any of the questions... | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Routinely used by police in the US and on British daytime talk shows, | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
lie detectors are increasing interest to the criminal justice | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
system. It can help investigations because if the police have six | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
suspects, say and and they boy graph them and -- polygraph them, | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
they can hone in on one person, they they have the confidence to | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
think this person is showing deception and the likelihood is | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
this is the person who committed the crime. The way the body reacts | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
through breathing, heart rate and sweating all indicate whether a sly | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
being told. -- whether a lie is being told. Nothing is 100% but any | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
result that I give I am confident is the right result. The results | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
are currently inadmissible in court, but Hertfordshire Police have been | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
using the tests on suspected sex offenders. In a statement they say: | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
Polygraph testing provides us with an additional tool and has cut down | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
investigative time significantly leading to a more efficient process | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
often helping to identify additional offences. A further | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
trial in the Midlands has looked at how testing can help monitor those | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
on parole. Over the past two and a half years hundreds of convicted | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
sex offenders have been compelled to undergo lie detector tests as | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
part of a pilot scheme. Those results are currently being | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
evaluated. The Association of Chief Police | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Officers agrees lie detectors can potentially help combat crime but | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
it is up to individual police forces to decide whether or not to | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
use them. Police have arrested three men - a | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
20-year-old, and two 16-year-olds - on suspicion of murdering a | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
teenager in Oxford Street in London. 18-year-old Seydou Diarrasouba was | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
stabbed in the heart after a fight broke out at a sports shop on | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
Boxing Day. Eleven people have already been arrested. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
An 18-year-old man has been remanded in custody charged with | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
murdering a teenage babysitter. Catherine Wynter had been looking | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
after her nephew and niece in Borehamwood on Boxing Day when she | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
was stabbed. Tony Bushby will appear at St Albans Crown Court on | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
Wednesday. Leading figures from the world of | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
entertainment and sport are among those recognised in the Queen's New | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Year Honours list. This year the list also includes people who've | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
turned a corner in their lives. Lizo Mzimba has more. The BAFTA- | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
winning actress Helena Bonham Carter can now add a new | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
achievement to her accomplishments, after being appointed CBE. She said | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
she was thrilled, though not sure that she deserved it. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
Ronnie Corbett's been delighting audiences for half a century. He's | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
also become a CBE. US Open-winning golfer Rory McIlroy | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
becomes an MBE and an OBE goes to Darren Clarke, winner of the | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
British Open. It's sinking in what I managed to achieve, but the OBE | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
is a massive honour for me and identify privileged to be awarded | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
the honour. Also recognised are people who have taken their lives | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
in a new direction. Gerald Ronson was jailed in 1990 for his parts in | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
the Guinness share scandal. He's now become a CBE for his charity | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
work since his release. Christopher Preddie is also someone | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
who's turned his life around. As a teenager he was involved with gangs | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
and drugs. But, for the last eight years, he's devoted his time to | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
youth work and reducing crime. He's become an OBE. I think from the | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
background I have come from and a lot of struggles I had, it's an | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
honour to be in such a great award and the fact that I got honoured | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
and now have an OBE is fantastic and any kid can now see that hard | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
work does pay off. He is typical of most of the names on this year's | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
list. People not in the public eye, who are being honoured for making a | :10:26. | :10:35. | |
significant contribution to their community. | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
The Football Association have published a report tonight into the | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
reasons why they banned the Liverpool player, Luis Suarez, for | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
eight matches after claims he racially abused the Manchester | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
United defender, Patrice Evra. With me here is our sports correspondent, | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
Joe Wilson. A very long report this, what is in it. These are findings | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
set up around the confrontation. It looked at TV footage which has | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
never been broadcast but the images of that confrontation are certainly | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
well known by now and essentially the Commission found it supported | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Evra's version of events. It rejected Suarez's argument that he | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
used the word negro to Evra in a friendly way, in. He says he used | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
that word seven times in the space of two minutes to Evra and says | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Suarez knew or should have known the use of that language in this | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
country is unacceptable. Liverpool are digesting that long report. | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
They have 14 days to decide whether to appeal. But I think the scale of | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
the report just reinforces that this is the most important, | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
certainly the most complex case of its kind that English football has | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
ever had to deal with. Thank you very much. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Staying with football and Match of the Day follows this programme. So, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
if you don't want to know the results from today's Premier League | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
matches, Look away now. We start at Old Traford, where | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Manchester United suffered a shock 3-2 home defeat against bottom club | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
Blackburn. Sir Alex Ferguson, who celebrated his 70th birthday today, | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
described the result as a disaster. Chelsea also suffered a surprise 3- | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa and were replaced in fourth | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
place by Arsenal, who beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0 with Robin Van | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Persie getting his 17th league goal of the season. | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
Third-placed Tottenham were held by Swansea. And, there were also draws | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
between Bolton and Wolves, Norwich and Fulham, and Stoke and Wigan. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Harlequins have stretched their lead at the top of rugby's Aviva | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Premiership with a 9-11 win over Exeter. Quins relied on the boot of | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
stand-in fly-half Rory Clegg, whose penalty with just three minutes of | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
time remaining denied the chiefs what would have been a shock | :12:43. | :12:51. | |
victory. Andy Murray has appointed the | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
former World tennis number one, Ivan Lendl, as his new, full-time | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
coach. Czech-born Lendl, who won eight Grand Slams, will start work | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
with Murray - who hasn't had a coach since March - immediately. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Celebrations to mark the start of 2012 are well under way all around | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
the world. Here, thousands of people will pack into Edinburgh | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
city centre for the traditional Hogmanay street party. In London, | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
up to a quarter of million people, are expected to watch the fireworks | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
along the Thames. Phil Bodmer is there. | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
Yes, you are right, the London Eye is the star attraction tonight for | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
the celebrations here in the capital. Elsewhere across the world, | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
of course, 2012 has already begun. Possibly the world's tallest | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
fireworks display, fired from the world's tallest building. Dubai saw | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
in the new year with a spectacular display. In London, with less than | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
two hours to go, thousands are lining the embankment in | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
anticipation of the arrival of 2012, in what promises to be one of the | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
capital's most significant years. Tonight is absolutely vital. It's | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
the kickoff to our summer of celebrations next year with the | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Jubilee and the Olympics and tonight we are going to show the | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
world how we party. Earlier in the day Auckland in New Zealand was | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
among the first cities to usher in the new year. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
In Australia, Sydney's famous bridge was setting for events down | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
under. This year's theme being a a time to dream as an estimated one | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
and a half million people lined the foreshore. | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
And in Beijing no fireworks, but a breathtaking light show. | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Back home, even the rain unlikely to dampen the Hogmanay spirit in | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
Edinburgh. On the banks of the River Thames, | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
determined spectators took up the best pitches early. I was born in | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
London and the last time I was here I was ten. I thought it was about | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
time I came to look at the fireworks. We are here tonight to | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
see the fireworks and the London Eye and to enjoy the atmosphere. | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Organisers are hoping up to a quarter of a million people will be | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
able to enjoy a night they promise will live long in the memory. | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
It seems like those 250,000 people have already arrived, as you can | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
see it's packed here along the embankment. The advice from the | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
police tonight is if you are not already here, please stay at home | :15:26. | :15:30. |
