Gerry Adams is still being questioned by police in Northern

Ireland over the death of Jeanne McConville. Her daughter says she's

sure he was involved in her mother's death and will name names. They have

done so much to me already in the last 42, what will they do, come and

put a bullet in my head. Well they know where I live. Antibiotics once

projects us from infections that kill, the World Health Organisation

says that is over and even a scratch could be fatal. We will ask the

Chief Medical Officer what we all do now. Unless we build more houses,

prices will quadruple and face an historic drop in homeownership. That

is the warning from Ed Miliband today. It was time from the half way

line to the penalty spot and putting the ball down is where you miss the

penalty. When your inner chimp is doing his stuff? Doing his worst

work. The inner chimp could be the answer to England perennial penalty

shootout heartbreak. Good evening, at 8.00 tonight Gerry

Adams began his second 24-hour period of questioning over one of

the province's most notorious murders. He is being investigated

over the IRA abduction and death of Jeanne McConville. No-one has ever

been accused of her murder. Gerry Adams has denied involvement with

the IRA and says he's innocent in her death.

??FORCEDWHI It was said his detention was a deliberate attempt

to influence the forth coming European elections.

Jim Reid is in Belfast. She was always on the go, washing clothes,

making dinners, looking after her family. 17 men and women disappeared

in the troubles. All were abducted, killed and secretly buried. Our

whole family, not only our mother wasn't accepted into this area, we

were strangers in a strange place. Jeanne McConville was at home with

her children when she was bundled into a van by a group of IRA

members. Her body was dug up on this beach 30 years later. The IRA came

to the door between 5. 30-6.00, a rap came on the door and we answered

the door and these people pushed past. They shouted "where's your

mother", she grabbed the mother, and we grabbed the mother and held on to

her and we were crying, and my mother was crying too. A week later

an IRA man came to the door and handed my mother's purse in and her

rings. And I realised then that mother was killed. I knew she was

dead. The Good Friday Agreement was meant to end decades of conflict,

building new democratic institutions and healing old wounds, but unsolved

murders like the one of Jeanne McConville were never going to be

forgotten overnight. Family members from both sides of the sectarian

divide still want justice for the crimes of the past. The widows

mother of ten was taken in front of these flats in 1972, wrongly

suspected of passing information to the British authorities.

I know these people and they know that I know them. And they know my

family knows them as well. Just to be clear you still don't feel in a

position where you can name names? No, I don't. Because there was a

killing there last week, someone shot dead last week. There is still

guns out there in Northern Ireland and they are out there. Tonight the

leader of Sinn Fein is still in a police station in Antrim being

questioned about that murder. Gerry Adams has always denied he was a

member of the IRA. Denied he ordered the disappearance of Jeanne

McConville. There is only one man who gave the order for that woman to

be executed, that man, is now the head of Sinn Fein. But taped

interviews appear to contradict that. Former IRA members spoke

openly to researchers from Boston College, on the understanding the

recordings would not be released until after their death. The major

reasons why people like Brendan Hughes and Dolace Pryce came out and

denounced Gerry Adams and said he was involved in these things is

because the man himself has put several yards of clear blue water

between himself and the IRA. People like that were motivated by the fact

that Gerry Adams denied in such an emphatic way things that they had

been involved with him in doing. That pushed them, I think, over the

edge, and led them to say the sort of things they have been saying.

Sinn Fein say the accusations are malicious, and the timing is no

coincidence, ahead of elections on both sides of the Irish border. What

other conclusion can I or any other person come to that in the mouth of

an election, the leader of a political party which is

experiencing huge growth all over the island of Ireland, finds himself

under arrest? A back street pub in the heart of one of Belfast's back

street areas was blown apart. There are active investigations into other

atrocities of the past. Just this week a man was arrested and released

over a notorious loyalist bomb attack on a Belfast bar. Some worry

dredging up these historic cases threatens the fragile peace process,

for the families of victims, this is about recognition and justice. Do

you feel there may be an argument that at some point it is time just

to accept these things happen and move on? No, when you hear people

saying that, most people will say things like, English politicians

that never suffered anything in the troubles. Or you will hear people

saying from here who have never suffered in the troubles. I would

like them to spend a month and live here and listen to half the problems

people have. You need law and order, you definitely need law and order,

and you need to address the past. Th beach gave up its secret a decade

ago, there are another seven IRA victims whose remains have never

been found. Part of Northern Ireland's history, that refuses to

be swept away. After Jeanne McConville's

disappearance, her daughter, the then 15-year-old Helen had to take

care of herself and her sinles. -- siblings. Earlier I spoke to her

from Belfast. Today your mother Michael said he

knows the identity of the people who came to the house that night and

took your mother, he won't say for fear of being shot by the IRA. Do

you share those fears? No. That fear left me a long time ago. I don't

fear the IRA any more. I will happily give the names I know to the

police. Have you been asked for the names? I have spoken to the police,

but I haven't come to any interview. You weren't in the house that night,

you were out at the shops? That's right. When you came back your

brothers and sisters told you who were there, so you have a full

picture of who was there? I have, yes. Will you tell us the names

tonight? No, I would rather speak to maybe the authorities first. Have

you done so already at all? No the police haven't asked me yet, I

haven't gone into full details with it. There were women and men in the

house that night, weren't there? There was, there was four women and

eight men. And you knew the women because they were local or why? One

of the girls, she came in and didn't cover herself up in any way. Like

your brother, do you see these people in the street? I have left

Belfast now, but when I go back to Belfast I would see them in the town

centre, yes. Have you ever confronted anyone who you believe

was in the house that night, who was in the house that night? No, but one

of them tried to confront me in a McDonalds when I had my children

there for a birthday treat. When was this? Going back to 1995. When they

confronted you, what were they saying to you? They were screaming

at me, you know. Like I was accusing them of something that they didn't

do, why are you picking on me, why are you saying things about me? She

was feeling guilty I would say, not me? . At the time did you feel

threatened, there you were, you were the oldest industry Sister in the

house and your mother taken, what did you do? Every now and then I had

to barricade the door, and make sure the younger ones were in bed, and we

were locked in. Anybody running past the door sent fear into us. You were

15? I was 15, yes. Did you try and find your mother? We went searching

for her, my brother Arthur and myself went searching at night,

looking in old buildings and things like that. We went to a republican

club to ask questions. We were told you don't know what you are talking

about, we haven't taken your mother. Then it was put into our face that

is our mother had left us and was living in England with a British

soldier. Helen, you then had a visit after your mother's death from the

IRA, bringing back things to you, what happened? I answered a knock on

the door and there was a fella standing there, a complete stranger,

he handed me back my mother's purse, which had three rings in it. I asked

where my mother was, he said he knew nothing about my mother he was just

told to bring the purse back to our home. If you are prepared now to

give the names of the people that were in that house, your house,

sorry, that night to the police, why do you think the police haven't come

to you for the names? I think the police are working on the Boston

Tapes really at the moment. I know you were very instrumental in

pressing for the Boston Tapes to be released? Yes. But do you not think

the PSNI should be coming to you, if you have information? Yes they have

come to speak to me, they have asked me things, but I don't really want

to put those on air at the moment. You can understand, we will wait and

see what happens tonight. I understand that, but I just want to

be quite categorically clear about this, you are prepared to give the

PSNI the names? I am prepared. Would that go for some of your brothers

and sisters too? I can't speak for them I can only speak for myself.

Any help that I can give to catch the people who killed my mother I

will do it. You haven't given names but you are prepared to do so? I am

prepared to do so, yes. Is it your belief that Gerry Adams was involved

in the mother of your mother? I have always believed Gerry Adams was

involved in the murder of my mother. Until the day I die I will believe

that. Why do you think that? There is a saying here the dogs on the

street know it. Even speaking to you tonight, you don't feel a fear for

yourself speaking to us about this? What haven't they done to me in the

past 42 years, what will they do, put a bullet in my head. They know

where I live. This is a really difficult time for all your family.

I wonder about this question, if it is the price of peace to leave this

alone, do you think it will have to be left alone? No, I'm like any

other, we're like any other family here in Northern Ireland who has

lost someone, it doesn't matter who killed them, IRA, UDA, loyalists,

the British Army. If the British Army had tipped me off about what

happened here I would want them to be handed back to the police.

Everyone has the right to know what happened to the person they loved

and they need the truth and justice. Are you prepared to keep going, no

matter how long it takes to get the truth about your mother's death?

When I said in 1994 I will, the first time I spoke about my mother,

I swore that until the day I die I will campaign for my mother. If

anything happens to me I have five children who will carry on

campaigning for the truth. And your children want you to campaign, they

are not in fear for their lives? No. They didn't do anything wrong, nor

did I, nor did my mother, we have no fear. Do you think that we are at a

pivitol moment in the search for what happened to your mother with

the arrest of Gerry Adams? Yes, it is the day we have been waiting for.

Thank you very much indeed. Northern Ireland's Victims' and

Survivors' Commissioner is here, and Peter Hain joins me from Belfast.

Catherine Stone, what was said there, we need truth and justice,

she's right isn't she? She's absolutely right, and what she does

in a very dignified and poignant way is echo the voices of so many

victims who say truth, justice, acknowledgement, that's what we

want, and that's what we must have. Peter Hain, you were on record as

saying you think there should be an end to all conflict-related

prosecutions. How can you say that to Helen McKendry? I agree with what

Katherine has just said, and I salute the enormous bravery of Helen

and her brother Michael. What was done to their mother was horrendous,

and if I were in their shoes I would be doing exactly what they are

doing. So they should have truth and justice and prosecutions if

necessary? If it is possible to get truth and justice, yes, of course.

Even if it means high-profile prosecutions and indeed an end to a

veneer of peace in Northern Ireland because of it? If you let me finish

my point. It is simply the reality, unfortunately, as Katherine knows.

It is very difficult if not impossible to establish the truth,

sufficient to bring credible cases for prosecution over these matters

which happened, in this case, over 40 years ago and in others even more

difficult to establish the evidence. I don't know what will happen in

this particular instance, I don't know what the detail is concerning

Gerry Adams. But what I do know is Northern Ireland needs to find a

different way, not of ignoring the victims' sense of grievance and

injustice, of course not. But a different way of addressing it. But

just to be quite clear, you said pre pre-1998, you believe an end to all

prosecution, including the McConville prosecution. You either

believe it or you don't, it is a very important thing to say? Simply

saying in the absence of an alternative process, which would

have to be judicially underpinned in the way that for example the

Northern Ireland Attorney-General John larrikin has suggested, in the

way that Richard Haas who looked at all of this, the respected American

specialist brought in to look at the past, in way that Lord Eames, the

former Archbishop of Ireland, and Dennis Bradley said in their report

in January 2009, you have to find different way of addressing these

questions. And you have got to can I just, you're interrupting me the

whole time. You a giving eloquent and long answers. That must apply to

British soldiers as well as to paramilitaries who might be accused

of these things. Peter Hain appears to be saying if there is no prospect

of a clear case of prosecutioner then it needs to go away in the

absence of anything that would bring clarity? Victims are not niave,

victims are not unthinking, victims know that with the passage of time

it will be more and more difficult to bring evidence to secure

prosecutions. But wherever there is a prospect of justice, we must

deliver that to them. We can't deny victims access to justice, or even

the prospect of justice. You are speaking to victims on all sides of

the divide, and I do mean all sides of the divide? Absolutely. Everybody

is of the same view, without any Truth and Reconciliation Commission

there is a lot of unfinished business? There is a huge amount of

unfinished business in Northern Ireland. Helen was talking about she

would be in the same mind whether the IRA, the UVF, the RUC, whoever

is guilty of perpetrating dreadful crimes against victims mu be brought

to justice, where we can draw the evidence. Do you disagree with Peter

Hain? Wherever there is a prospect of Jews justice, we must delivered

deliver. That In Northern Ireland the past collides with the present,

we have so many example, we heard today about the bar bombing,

yesterday we heard about the families in the Lemont Hotel. These

things continue to infect the present and the future in Northern

Ireland if they are not dealt with. In essence, are you saying that

there isn't really be a true and deep lasting peace in Northern

Ireland until all these issues are resolved? There can be no

sustainable peace in Northern Ireland until every victim has peace

of mind. Should there have been a truth and reconciliation process as

in South Africa? That is far too simplistic a model. To say you can

adopt one model to another place. Do you agree, the South African model

wouldn't have worked in Northern Ireland? Probably not. Part of it

could do, if those responsible for atrocities, or terrible offences,

came forward and cop fessed in a special judicial context to those in

return for immunity. You could probably have part of that, but not

entirely. I don't disagree with anything Katherine said in the sense

that victims deserve justice and deserve some accounting for what has

gone on. The truth is, as she knows, and we all know, that isn't going to

happen for far too many victims. Therefore how do we find a different

way of addressing all of this? My point is at some stage Northern

Ireland has to look to the future, rather than to the past. The past

will not be capable of being closed for far too many victims which

pursuing the same prosecution route because you won't be able to sustain

the prosecutions. Therefore you need to find a different judicially

underpinned protest that isn't an amnesty or get out of jail card or

any allegations that are spraying about, but is a difficult way of

approaching it. Suggestions have been made for that. I think that is

part of Northern Ireland moving forward and not turning its back on

victims, but actually addressing the whole agenda in a different way,

rather than being haunted, trapped and ultimately condemned by the

past. It is very difficult to move forward if you have lost your legs

in a bomb. It is very difficult to move forward if there is an empty

space in the bed where your husband used to be. These things are very

difficult for victims to think about. It is I am too for a

comprehensive, systematic -- it is about time for a comprehensive

systematic list in Northern Ireland. Why has that not been deliverable?

That is a very complicated question for me to answer. We need to ask our

politicians why that is not delivered. As Peter Hain says there

have been many adepartments to produce a framework on delivering

this. In the meantime victims wait and wait and wait. They wait for

truth and justice they wait for acknowledgement and they get

nothing. When Alexander Flemming discovered pencilian, who would have

thought 100 years later antibiotics have license almost useless. The

World Health Organisation has said the problem is they are so widely

prescribed the bacteria have started fighting back. A senior adviser from

the WHO saying a child falling off their bike and developing an

infection will be at huge risk in the USA. We asked this doctor to

explain what has gone wrong. We like to think of this as the cutting-edge

of modern healthcare, but the real fight what has done more to fight

for survival in the past century is the war against microorganism. The

drugs used to treat infection are a cornerstone of that achievement. But

the bugs are fighting back. This week the World Health Organisation

published a new report. One which examples, for the first time, the

problem of anti-microbial issues. It paints a grim picture. We are in

danger of losing the fight, of entering a post-antibiotic era, one

where common infections and minor injuries again become life threat

ening. In 1945 Alexander Flemming and colleagues received the Nobel

Prize for developing pencilian. Less well known is the Nobel Prize

awarded in 1939 to this German, that prize, for the first commercially

available antibiotic of a different class and different mechanism of

attack as penicillin, was as important or more important than

Flemming's discovery it set the tone for how antibiotics would be formed

and marketed. They would fund on ward development and clinical trials

and establish sustainable economic models for the sale of these drugs.

Today this model is faltering. Antibiotics cost billions to develop

and because of the resistance, new drugs rapidly become obsolete. This

combined with the rapid evolution of antibiotic resistant bugs is

becoming very real. I have seen several supposedly last line of

defence drugs come and go. Becoming nearly obsolete. The World Health

Organisation talk in near apocalyptic terms about this

problem. About achievements in modern medicine being threatened by

this anti-microbial era. It is scary to think what it might look like, a

world in which less than 100 years after the discovery of pencilian, we

became once again merely defenceless in the wake of common infections.

I'm joined now by Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer, who was

today made a Fellow of the Royal Society, and the director of the

Wellcome Trust. How worried should we be about this? I'm very worried

on a global scale, we have antibiotic resistance in this

country, it is natural and we do abuse antibiotics. In other

countries it is getting worse and worse and that will travel here. In

the past we have had resistance we have had new antibiotics, but no new

classes since 1987. Why are they not being researched and developed? It

is a very difficult field, the bacteria of the viruses, the

parasites, are changing all the time, new antibiotics are needed all

the time. And secondly because there is very little incentive, there is

no pull to attract people to go into that area whether academics or an

industry. We have to change that model. Because big farmer wants to

do cancer and statistic tips and we have to take this lifelong. In

parts. It is cynical in way? You have to understand the drivers of

that industry and we need to change the model by which we often, we need

to have sticks and use them properly. Then we have to have

incentives for industry to come into this space and develop them with

pre-purchase agreement, Governments promising to buy them. Patents and

incentives. One of the things if they make a good drug, I as Chief

Medical Officer will look it up and say only occasional use to save

lives rather than let them use lots of it. There is the tension of the

need to sell a lot and the public health need. Who is the arbator in

all of -- arbitoir in all of this? We need to work with the Government

and farmer so they develop and produce these goods and we buy and

protect them. What the WHO was saying about the idea that a scratch

can kill is incredible scary for people. Especially people with

children who know if an infection sets in you get antibiotic. You gave

a tutorial for David Cameron last month. As basic as that? We needed

to understand, not coming from a science background. What bacteria

are, how antibiotics work, and what they are made from, and how natural

selection happens. This antibiotic resistance is developing. Do you

think you pushed at an open-door for more funding and pressure on farmers

by Government? We have a Government that recognises the emergency we are

facing. If we don't do something now, in ten years time, 20 years

time we don't have a new drug. It is not just one drug. We need a steady

selection of drugs. We are now working across the stop of

Government. In a debate which is how do you develop a global model that

will deliver that. Hasn't your funding been cut rather than

increased? No, science funding has been kept stable. But long enough?

Scientists can always spend more. You have been made a fellow of the

Royal Society, do you need more money. It strikes me if you take

something else that had a global impact it was a search for HIV drugs

and AIDS drugs. That was seen as something that was huge and needed

to be moved on fast. We are not getting that just now are we? We

have to make a priorty of this. It is a very, very good example, I was

a sunnor doctor in -- junior doctor in London at the start of the AIDS

academic. If anything underlines it is seeing young people dying in

hospitals. That has stayed with me all my life, it is untreatable and

devastating to community. The HIV community really pushed Governments

and they responded, the UK Government, the British Government

responded and we needed the European Union to come on board. We don't

have it. With the AIDS pandemic, it was the early 1980s, the whole idea

that we are facing Armageddon. You don't feel that sense of urgency

with the antibiotics. Do you have to scare them? HIV is a good example we

talk that we have turned the infection into like diabetes. It is

not that because the virus will change, and the thought of HIV drug

resistance coming is truly frightening. It goes beyond that,

you wouldn't be able to do chemotherapy or cancer patients

because they need antibiotics when they are doing therapy. Diabetics

would suffer at the plea, the in-- This is about the whole of medicine,

cancer, diabetes, it is across the board. You are a scientist in a way,

but can you put to the nearest decade, are you talking about things

like the major amount of antibiotics being fairly useless in a decade.

Already we have resistance in this country for gonorrhoea. When did it

come out? We watched it appear a year or two ago, and it is steadily

rising. That shows you how fast it can happen. What is next if that was

for gonorrhoea? We have problems, as you know, with TB. And as you

remember the HIV, I remember sitting by the bedside of men as they died

of TB, we have multiand extreme drug resistance coming in from abroad.

Part of the problem is in the west, I have worked in Vietnam for the

last 18 years, we have pushed it down the public agenda. All of that

progress is at risk if we don't sort this out? Because we are too casual.

Because we have been complacent. An Englishman's home is his castle

they say, the way the housing market is going that man or women will be

well into their 40s before they get the keys to the most modest of

homes. House prices are rising five-times as fast as earnings. No

wonder Ed Miliband sees valuable votes in generation Rent! If you

thought we were always a nation of homeowners you would be wrong.

Middle-class families rented with no shame. The dream of homeownership

dates back not 100 years but #? Homeownership was supposed to be the

future, but after building far too few homes and prices rising faster

than incomes, it is looking like the past. Every time prices rise it

makes poverty worse. Those who have less property have to spend more

buying the same good. It is only those with more property than they

need who are able to bank their gains and sell their houses. House

price rises are a redistribution from bottom to top, young to old,

poor to rich. We have seen the issue of many Governments not building

more homes, that is a fundamental issue. The report shows if we don't

tackle this problem now, within a generation the house prices will

have quads re quadrupled into ?900,000, and we could see lots of

children under 30 living at home. That is why we have to act now.

Quadruple, I can hear your lack of shock! In 1961 it was less than six

grand now it is 250,000. While we are supposed to hate shop

price inflation, politicians think house price inflation will get them

re-elected. Because homeowners will feel better off. If most people feel

better off most people shouldn't. Suppose you own one of these flats

and it is worth ?100,000, but the cream home is the house -- dream

home is the house across the road worth ?200,000, then house prices go

up, think about the price of the place you want to buy, it has gone

up not by ?100,000, but ?200,000. It has put your dream home further out

of reach. In 1918 long before we became

obsessed with the money made on property, three-quarters of people

rented in Germany. Once they have rented a place they like they stay

there. There is much less turnover in the German residential market.

The Germans are fond of theirs, they just don't see a point in buying the

place. Richard Kay rents this three-bed flat in Hackney with three

others. He won't be there long. Two months in he had the gall to

complain about the washing machine. The landlord said it is not my

problem, your problem. Either you pay for it or it just sits there. We

kicked up a fuss about this and received a long-winded e-mail in

which our landlord issued notice two weeks in. Ed Miliband offered to

protect tenants from eviction for three years, cap price rents and

stopping letting agencies charging fees. The opposition leader's

initiative risks the wrath of landlords. Especially those who want

to sell their property in months not years. The thing that has spooked my

members and potential investors in the private sector in this country.

Is the words "predictable rents", which everybody sees rent control,

that is the thing that investors are frightened to death of. For young

people without a parent to help them, the dream of owning a home

drifts into the past. Ed Miliband may annoy landlords but gain the

acceptance. The England team has a problem, the

penalty shootout, it looms large even when the squad is dreaming. In

order to banish the fears before the World Cup they are being urged to

cage their inner different. That theory is from the man who helps

many athletes to get gold. Now he's heading to the World Cup. They close

in on their rivals. All need to be on maximum alert. Boy has he

produced some snooker. Team work has brought this group of chimps great

success. Right now the secret to sporting success involves harnessing

your inner chimp. From cycling to snooker and football, the theory

goes that inside all our brains a human and chimp vie for control. If

the emotional chimp takes over it can be very destructive. Ultimately

the chimp is in you, and five-times stronger than a human, so you never

get rid of it. My inner chimp, I was afraid. If you clear your head you

will be a more effective sports person.m -- person. Liverpool were

playing with clear heads until they lost to Chelsea. They have embraced

the inner chimp theory quickly. Another inner chimp person is Ronnie

O'Sullivan. He overcame his demons at the world snooker match in

Sheffield, only after a pep talk by the psychiatrist behind the theory.

He has transformed the careers of many sportsmen. I had the talent but

I wasn't able to bring it together. Steve has helped me clear that mind,

and able to just go and play and focus. After years treating people

with personality disorders at a high-security hospital, he helps

sports people to tone down the voices inside their head, the chimp

ideology. He usually lets his work speak for itself, but he said about

this theory. Split your brain into two teams, you have a human team,

rational et cetera, then the interfering team that can be

emotional, this is the chimp, it acts like a chimp. When I brought

the analogy out they said when they get emotional they can see

themselves acting like a chimp. The chimp is everywhere, not just

harnessed at Liverpool and Shell Sheffield, he is now also employed

by England's World Cup squad. Success is untested. Proven though,

Victoria Pendleton, who harnessed her chimp, along with Chris hoi, and

Bradley wig -- Chris Hoy and Bradley Wiggins. He worked on the mental

focus of the team for more than a decade, and it paid off with a haul

of medals Tebay engining and London Olympics. His philosophy is a key

element of the way things work here. Everybody's chimp is different, some

is nervous, getting up and looking at the opposition, maybe the

conditions aren't perfect, it might be saying I can't do that. Someone

else's chimp might be overconfident. So making mistakes and thinking they

can do something special on the day. The most important thing is

understanding your chimp and the characteristics, and managing it. My

inner chimp is telling me I shouldn't be doing this, fortunately

so the human, rational part of my brain. This is a world class

velodrome, I haven't got the right equipment and in work clothes. What

is said, is when human and chimp agree there is no problem, what

happens is when the emotional chimp takes over. Liverpool Football

Club's troubles have come from not winning the league in 24 years and

the loss of spirits on. That after spending only ?24 million, this

season they are in contention, and hailed Peter as a genius. British

football has been slow to watch on to embedding psychiatry into the

cessing room. Perhaps it lies with this faith healer, Eileen Drury.

Brought in to help the likes of Ian Wright before the World Cup. She

sits behind me and you feel like you're in a Barber's chair when he

said it. What did he say? Short back and sides please. It spent everybody

was cynical, any manager who tried to do something similar would have

been laughed at. So I think we should be much further along the

line now than we are with sports psychiatry. It has taken probably if

Liverpool win the title and for the second time Brendan Rodgers were to

say I owe a debt of gratitude for him, lots of other people will think

we haven't have an embedded psychiatrist. Nutrition was the big

evolution, no more pie and chimp before the match but food for fuel

and fitness. The players were at their peak physically but mentally

it is another story. At World Cup level, penalty after penalty missed

as self-doubt crept in. You know the whole world is watching and the

whole country is watching, a thorn in England side as well. Talking to

them about is the walk. Walking to the penalty line and put the ball

down that is where you lose the game. That is when the voice is

doing its worst. Will this team be different with Steve Peters on

board, clearly his biggest sporting challenge to date. If they do

harness their inner chimps and win. Perhaps we will all be reaching for

the Peters self-help model to discover the chimp within.

Now the newspapers. There is anything like a politician
