Jimmy Savile was like a father to him, now he has heard claims in

court, that he abused young girls over decades.

The 72-year-old met Savile at a singing contest in the 1960s. He

became the driver and the pair lived together in Manchester for three

years. Today, he appeared in court, charged

with 32 child sex allegations. They included 16 charges of rape,

attempted rape and indecent assault. The magistrates heard that the

claims involved 14 young girls and one 17-year-old. It is said to have

happened between 1962 and 1966. Greater Manchester Police police

emphasised that the charges have nothing to do with Jimmy Savile.

That the investigation into him is not linked to Scotland Yard's

inquiry into Jimmy Savile. Teret was granted a conditional

bail, but said that the charges were so serious, they could be dealt with

only at a Crown Court. He is to appear on the 15th of November.

The Met office issued storm warnings with gusts up to 80 miles an hour

for England and Wales. The worst of the weather expected overnight. An

amber alert has been issued for southern Wales and England. Now it

includes much of the Midlands and the east.

A pledge by food manufactures to cut saturated fat levels had has been

described as a drop in the ocean. Sainsbury's and Nestle have signed

up to a voluntary movement but critics say they could add more salt

and sugar to the products. Here, the food may be appetising to

many but saturated fat is one of the villains of the British diet. Blamed

for contributing to obesity and coronary heart disease. The code

involves retailers pledging to cut the amount of put fat in the foods

that they produce. Heart disease is a killer. And

saturated fat is one of the problems.

The companies taking part is a that I they will make changes to their

recipes. Tesco promised to remove 32 tons of saturated fat a year from

the products. Morrisons said it could get rid of 50 tons. And by

altering some Kit-Kat bars, Nestle removing 3,800 tons of fat a year.

While some have signed up to the scheme it is only voluntary. More

than half of the food industry is not taking part. Critics point out

it is not just the fat to be concerned about in the diet.

We are disappointed as this is only a hidden nasty, one. Sugar is the

focus. That is more and more the medical and the academic research

saying that sugar must be cut from the diet.

It is said that we consume 20% more saturated fat than we should. The

Government say it is will make a huge difference, the critics say it

does not go far enough. Now, time for the sport.

Thank you very much. Well, England kicked off the rugby

league World Cup today with defeat to the favourites, Australia. 28-20,

the final score. A carnival of light and sound, the

opening ceremony centre piece for the rugby league World Cup but no

British sides got their hands on it for 40 years. A Strictly Come

Dancing appearance. He never got close to the final. England tripped

themselves up. One player thrown from the squad for bad behaviour.

This team did not put a foot wrong. Going ten points up, but Australia,

who have won the cup nine times responded with three tries. Billy

Slater and Brett Morrison, putting the kangaroos ahead. George Burgess

bulldozing to keep England in touch but not close enough. They matched

Australia for the tries scored two appease. Josh Charnley gave them

hope, if not the victory. England will be encouraged by parts of the

game against the tournament favourites. With Fiji and Ireland to

come, getting out of the group should not be a problem, but this

defeat makes the path to the final that much harder.

Well, Wales are playing Italy. They are losing 14 points to 12,

approaching half-time. Now, Arsenal are top of the Premier League. They

beat manager, Crystal Palace 2-0. Olvier Giroud scoring their second,

despite Arsenal being down to ten men.

Manchester United showed some of their fightings -- fighting spirit

to come from behind to beat Stoke. Hernandez scoring the winner in the

8 o 0th minute. Elsewhere:

There were three matches in the Scottish Premiership.

Dundee United beating St Mirren. Sebastian Vettel will start his bid

for the fourth success I I ive world title from the pole position. He

needs a top five finish to take the Drivers Championship. Fernando

Alonso could only manage eighth on the grid. That is the sport. Back to

you, Kate. We
