A new inquiry in the Jimmy Savile scandal, over the decision to give

him a senior role at Broadmoor Hospital in the 1980s. Former

patients say Savile abused them after he was given keys to the

institution. The Head of RBS says he's "disappointed" over the

collapse of a deal to sell hundreds of branches to Santander. Andy

Murray beats Roger Federer to reach Good evening. The Department of

Health is to investigate its decision to appoint Jimmy Savile as

head of a taskforce overseeing Broadmoor Hospital in the late

1980s. Former patients say they were assaulted by the Prenter after

he was given the keys to the institution. The police say they

are now following more than 300 lines of inquiry into allegations

of sexual abuse by the television Prenter over several decades. Jimmy

Savile was a volunteer at Broadmoor for years, started in the late 1

'60s's. He had his own set of keys, an office and a bedroom. There he

spoke of the work he did with the hospital patients, including some

of Britain's most notorious criminals. I had great rapport with

the patients down there and we found an instinctive friendship,

regardless of what they'd done because there comes a time when you

have to forget what somebody's done and get on with the job of trying

to fix them back up, or repairing the damage to their minds that

caused them to do these dreadful things in the first place. In 1988

when the hospital's management team was suspended, saf -- Savile was

asked to set up a taskforce for a time. The Department said: Savile's

reputation as a charity fundraiser protected him from scrutiny, one

former Broadmoor patient, who has since had a sex change, claims to

have been molested by him on one of the wards. Two other patients

witnessed it. We could do nothing. If we stood up and said - look what

he is doing, they would have punished us at nond believed us.

Historically, people in mental hospitals are never believed.

of the institutions with which he was connected, including the BBC,

could face legal claims for compensation from his victims

despite the years that have lapsed. There have been cases against the

Catholic Church, cases against schools and childrens homes. What

the compensation would be for, would be their psychiatric injury.

One newspaper today claims ChildLine founder was alerted to

Savile's activities. She said she has no memory of that, but there

were rumours. I think Fleet Street knew about. It I was told the NHS

knew about it and the music industry knew about it. When I say

"knew" they heard rumours. rumours about Jimmy Savile, it

seems, never reached the ears of those responsible for Broadmoor.

The Chief Executive of Royal Bank of Scotland has said he's

"disappointed" at the collapse of the sale of more than 300 branches

to the Spanish bank, Santander. Stephen Hester insisted there would

be no disruption to customers and RBS would seek a new buyer. The

bank had been ordered to sell the assets by the European Commission.

RBS was selling more than 300 branches, not because it wanted to,

but because it was forced to. The sale was ordered by the European

Commission, it was the price the bank had to pay for approval of the

�45 billion Government bail out it received at the height of the

financial crisis. The deal turned sour. Santander say it is pulled

out because the entire process was taking too long and no chance of it

being completed in a reasonable time frame. RBS's chief checksive,

Hester, insists that the heavy lifting on the sale had been done.

It prompted speculation that Santander might have preferred to

focus on its existing business. Some experts believe both sides

have lost out. It's a double edged sword. For RBS it's a case of

losing a major deal which would have bolstered their finances.

Santander are looking -- losing a big opportunity to expand their

business. RBS still has to find a buyer for those branches. That may

prove tricky. The BBC understand that is two institutions have

already approached the bank about a possible sale. RBS insists its

customers won't be affected by Santander's withdrawal. 1.8 million

account holders and 240,000 businesses have been left unsure

who their bank will be in 12 months' time. The senior Labour

backbench MP Sir Stuart Bell has died. He was 74 and had been

suffering from cancer. Stuart Bell was elected to represent

Middlesborough in 193 and held the seat through seven general

elections. He was knighted in 2004 for his services to Parliament.

Andy Murray is through to the final of the Shanghai Masters after

beating Roger Federer in straight- sets. The British number one will

now face Novak Djokovic, the man he defeated to win last month's US

Open. The small eths of margins can be the difference between winning

and losing at this level. Ask Andy Murray, often mystified by Roger

Federer in the past. This appears to be changing. A break in the very

first game fuelled his confidence. When Federer hit three double

faults in a row to gift wrap the first set, everyone started to

believe. Murray has clearly got under the world number one's skin,

under pressure, Federer had no answer to his power and precision.

Coming down 40-0 down to break serve. Two rain delays didn't

affect the Scot's nerve. In this form a third Shanghai Masters title

in succession almost looks inevitable. Murray must not want

this year to end. It's the opening weekend of matches in rugby's

Heineken Cup with British sides in action. Earlier Saracens beat

Edinburgh. Scarlets are playing Clermont, while Exeter are facing

defending champions Leinster in Dublin. Jonathan Sexton penalty

gave the home side the lead but Gareth Steenson drew. Mark Webber

will start tomorrow's Korean Grand Prix from pole. He pipped Sebastian

Vettel to the top spot by seven hundred reths of a second. Lewis

Hamilton will start from third place. Jenson Button is 11th.

Sunday's race is live on BBC One from 6.00 am. The Space Shuttle

Endeavour, which was taken out of service last year, has been making

its final journey, being driven through the streets of Los Angeles

on the back of a 160-wheel lorry to a museum where it will go on

display. Boldly or cautiously, it has certainly never gone here

before. Having gone around the earth, the Space Shuttle's last

mission is a road trip. On its way to retirement at California's

Science Museum. Endeavour arrived in Los Angeles last month, with a

final fly-past. Most of the shuttle was built in California, so this

really is a homecoming. Tens of thousands of people have been

lining the route. Parties are planned at various points along the

way. I think it's great. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for

folks from all over, California, LA, whatever. A great experience.

one of the most exciting things of my life. I have always followed the

space programme. A lot of people in the crowd are big space fans.

isn't something you see driving through your neighbourhood every

day of the week. Very few people thought they would ever get this

close to the Space Shuttle. It has been a year in the planning. Along

the route it will be close with 15cm of clearance either side. They
