December. That's all in Sportsday in 15 | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
minutes' time after the Papers. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Angela | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Knight, chief executive of Energy UK, and John Rentoul, chief | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
political commentator for the Independent on Sunday. Thank you | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
both for joining us this evening. The Telegraph leads with news that | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
many men suffering from prostrate cancer are being given misleading | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
assessment, leading them to underestimate the severity of their | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
tumours. The Costa del Sol murder | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
investigations, the Mirror says that the woman wanted in connection with | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
the death of a British business man is carrying his unborn child. | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
Air pollution in the Metro, the paper says that tens of thousands of | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
deaths come as a direct result of what it says is breathing | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
difficulties. More news on the former Commons | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans' case in the Guardian. The paper says the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Conservative Party and the CPS are at war after the MP was cleared of | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
rape. The Evans case is also on the front | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
of the I, with the MP saying his life would not be the same following | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the trial. And on the front of the Times, which says his acquittal had | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
put the spotlight on the CPS and how they choose to peruse high`profile | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
cases. The Scotsman says the SNP is going to empty its coppers in the | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
run`up to the Scottish vote on independence. `` coffers. The Mail | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
has more claims of sexual harassment in the House of Commons. Lots of | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
different stories on the front pages, we will start at the | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Guardian, that story about the Conservatives and the CPS Adam | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Walker as Nigel Evans is cleared of those allegations. `` at war. It has | :02:04. | :02:18. | |
been the big story in Westminster, and a lot of people are very puzzled | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
by this case, because even though we have not heard all the legal | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
arguments and you cannot be in court all the time, then never did seem to | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
be a very strong case against Nigel Evans, and a lot of his friends in | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
the Parliamentary party are very annoyed this was brought in the | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
first place. So puzzled the case was brought the evidence did not seem to | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
be very strong when it got going? We do not know what might have been | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
eliminated at an earlier stage and we do not know about it, but the | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
case as it ended up being presented to the court seemed pretty weak, so | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
a lot of Nigel Evans' supporters are asking why the CPS ever thought that | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
they could possibly secure a conviction. Angela, the CPS in the | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
dock over this and other stories. First of all, Nigel must have been | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
through an absolutely terrible period of time, and all his life | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
been rolled out in the courts, and it must have been absolutely awful. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Certainly, as one watched it, what did you see? You saw people coming | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
in and giving evidence, and even though they were apparently called | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
on the other side, they were saying, well, no, he's a good guy, | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
it was not like that. Somebody in that position, and there have been a | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
few before who have had all their private life out, and of course | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
there has been a focus on it, and then they have been cleared, they | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
have had a terrible time. Somewhere along the line, is not just a | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
question of this particular issue, but this is one of a number of | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
cases. What is prosecuted, how, what is the evidence brought forward for | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
consideration as to what cases go`ahead, surely that is where the | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
focus must lie in future. His description, hell, I would imagine | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
from what you're saying, you understand it. I should think it | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
must be awful! Imagine if it was one of us, for whatever it might be that | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
we had done, and not only were we in court, but what was happening was in | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
court was on the television, in the paper, things you might not have | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
wanted to tell your parents or children, your friends. It all comes | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
out, and then of course, we did not need to do that, because you are | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
innocent. I feel for somebody in that position. This particularly, | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
because this is today's, but there are others, we have an absolute | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
first class justice system, which I am wholly committed to, but there is | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
something about these celebrity, shall I call on celebrity rape | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
cases? Is that right? There are all sorts of allegations. Maybe we do | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
not quite get that right. John, moving in political circles, to | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
think there is genuine war between ministers and the CPS? No, I don't, | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
this is friends of Nigel Evans who are asking the sort of questions | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
that Angela is asking. But on the other side, you know, you have got | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
to see it from the CPS point of view. You know, they have been | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
criticised for not prosecuting cases, generally not cases involving | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
celebrities ` but they have been accused of not bringing enough | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
prosecutions and not securing enough convictions in rape cases, famously. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
And not being able to give out the details they might want to do to | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
explain why they have done it. That is a PowerPoint back drop. I do not | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
think anyone should pretend the balance is easy. `` that is a fair | :05:47. | :05:59. | |
point. Everything that goes on, it is all in the public domain, and | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
then they are cleared. Angela, I will ask you to start on this story, | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
the Co`op, because of your background in finances and banking | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
and so forth. Turmoil as Co`op loss is unveiled, still in the Guardian. | :06:19. | :06:31. | |
I think a loss was expected but this adds to a series of things that have | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
happened with the Co`op Bank and into the wider governance of the | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Co`op, which does rather tend you towards some of these things, you | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
know, turmoil and disruption and what is happening. I think here one | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
of the critical things is that and in individual, Lord Myners, was | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
brought in for the purpose of sorting out the governance, and now | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
he is saying that people will not go for it in the way that he was | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
asking, or something along those lines, so he has resigned. The chief | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
executive previously, four or five weeks ago, said, I am resigning | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
because this is not govern a ball. Is it a mess? It is a mess, but the | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
Co`op is something we are all familiar with, the shop down the | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
road, the biggest funeral parlour in the country, it has a bank, and a | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
lot of these things have unravelled. There has been an | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
expectation in some areas. One of the critical thing is that the Co`op | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
and its members have to do is get some stability. They have got to go | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
for a change, they have got to be on a path of getting this business | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
which is so important to us all running in a way that is being | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
managed correctly. And right now turmoil is probably the right word. | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
John, do you think this is done the co`operative movement, all of them, | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
has it done the movement a very fatal wound? I do, the Co`op | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
movement, to be frank, is pretty weak in this country. It consists of | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
the shops and a label which is used by some Labour MPs as a flag of | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
convenience. There are lots of little co`operatives, a movement | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
that must be damaged. It is a small movement, and as a result of this it | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
will be even smaller! A lot of small co`operatives and then you have got | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
the big one, the Co`op, but the big one is actually also composed of | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
some pretty independent entities. So I think it is how the whole lot | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
rises up to the top, how that is managed. I quite agree, it all | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
started with the bank, and that has unravelled. The Metro, killed by the | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
air we breathe, tens of thousands killed every year as a result of | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
breathing toxic air, and nobody would be surprised to know that it | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
is London where the rate is worse, climbing up to one in 12. This is a | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
good health horror story, isn't it? Especially as everyone is aware of | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
the toxic smoke that we have been suffering. Actually, it was not | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
smog, it was toxic haze, and just because it had a bit of sand from | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
the Sahara in it, and we could see it, we noticed it. But the air | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
quality has been worse than that for, you know, 60 days per year, and | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
nobody bats an eyelid. So yeah, an interesting story. I am not sure | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
whether people who live in London are going to say, well, because that | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
is four days off my life, I will move to the countryside. Or I am | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
going to start wearing a paper mask, like they do in Tokyo. It is | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster has the highest death rates. It | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
does. An interesting conundrum is it gives you a solution which says, | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
start cycling and walking. But surely you breathe more of the | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
toxins? That's precisely the conundrum I saw in the story. It's | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
only a short period of time ago when we had the one in Paris, because | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
they were so bad you could only drive every other day depending on | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
what your number plate was. Do big cities have a problem? Yes. They do | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
in China but London is reasonably clean. Of course, we are a big city | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
but can we not see, and the answer is no. All this dust which came from | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
the Sahara apparently brings with it a whole lot of goodness which we | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
actually need, so as soon as it has rained and it's landed on the flower | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
beds, and in the ocean, it's a good thing. The Daily Telegraph. A very | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
worrying story for many people, I'm sure the headline, patients given | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
false hope on cancer. Half of men reassured on prostate disease have | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
dangerous tumours apparently. The gist of this seems to be that the | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
biopsies that they do fail to detect more aggressive cancers, prostate | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
cancer, which obviously is one of the most common cancers amongst men. | :11:19. | :11:28. | |
I think this is quite a concern. It does suggest that the NHS is going | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
to have to tighten up its procedures. This comes from | :11:34. | :11:42. | |
Cambridge University researchers. I hope the story doesn't put people | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
off going to cancer tests or think every time they get a result from a | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
cancer test somehow it's wrong. I appreciate this is a male story | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
because is about prostate cancer, but there's been a lot of the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
stories over many, many years, cancer testing on women in various | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
forms, which we tend to get and the men do not. And I think every time | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
you get a cancer story which says that maybe the tests are not right, | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
it can put a hesitancy onto people. It's absolutely essential to get | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
these tests right if you possibly can but equally essential people go | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
off and get themselves tested. Women are more inclined to do with the men | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
sometimes. Just carry on, go and get tested. Sticking with the | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
Telegraph, George Osborne predicted Britain's best days lie ahead. Not | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
the weather forecast. He's talking about the economy. It's another | :12:43. | :12:51. | |
political story. He's making a speech in Washington tomorrow. The | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Telegraph seem to have some advance information over what is going to | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
say about it. There's only nine words of actual quotations in the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
story and I'm not sure he's actually going to say what the Telegraph | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
summarises. Economic stagnation will not return to the UK. It sounds | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
awfully like no more boom and bust. No one is ever going to say that one | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
again. Tempting fate like Gordon Brown. I don't think he will say | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
that. There's a bit more into this because the IMF, 14 months ago, | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
actually criticised the UK economic policy, the austerity and said that | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
we would not get growth from that. There was quite a few heart about | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
that. George Osborne said the IMF was wrong. And the IMF said we are | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
wrong. And they have not only upgraded their original growth | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
forecast, but it's now higher than the one the Chancellor had. There we | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
must leave it. We will come back to that. Thank you very much. John and | :14:07. | :14:19. | |
Angela, thank you. Stay with us. At 11pm, more on the news for the man | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
has been charged over the 1998 Omagh bombing. Coming up next, it is time | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
