time in the world this year. And, Paola 's banned for 18 months, he | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
will be free to run again in December. That is in 15 minutes, | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
after the papers. ``Powell is banned. Hello and welcome to our | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
me are Angela Knight,Chief Executive of Energy UK, and John Rentoul, | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
chief political commentator for The Independent on Sunday. Tomorrow's | :00:36. | :00:57. | |
front pages, starting with The Telegraph leading with news that | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
many men, suffering from prostate cancer, are given "misleading" | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
assessments, causing them to underestimate the severity of their | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
tumours. The Express has news of a poll on Europe which it says will | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
amount to a "historic mini referendum" . The Guardian says the | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
Conservative Party and the CPS are "at war" over the Nigel Evans case. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
In the i, the MP says his life will not be the same following the trial. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
The Times also says Mr Evans' acquittal has put the spotlight on | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
the CPS and how they choose to pursue high profile cases. Air | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
pollution is the focus of the Metro, the paper says that tens of | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
thousands of deaths come as a direct result of "breathing toxic air" . | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
The Sun says Peaches Gefof was found dead with her 11`month`old son by | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
her side. And the Mail has claims of sexual harassment in the House of | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Commons. Let's begin, a lot of the newspapers are concentrating on the | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
story about Nigel Evans, of course, the former Deputy Speaker and a | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
clearing in court today. Let's have a look at some of the front pages | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
with Nigel Evans on. It is interesting to see what some of | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
those have to save. The news that Nigel Evans was cleared of rape | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
dominates many of the front pages. This makes the story the main story. | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
The Guardian says the CPS and the Conservatives are at war, that is | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
their quote, as the Evans decision comes out today. Lots of newspapers | :02:20. | :02:31. | |
are leading with that as their main story. John, as the chief political | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
correspondent for the Independent on Sunday, it is a story that has some | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
ramifications. It is what a lot of people are talking about in | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Westminster today. There are a lot of Conservative MPs who are our | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
friends with Nigel Evans who are quite angry that the case was | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
brought forward in the first place. There was never any evidence that we | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
hurdle was reported that really suggested anything other than some | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
drunken, inappropriate advances that he made and admitted `` that we | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
heard were reported. The alleged victim said that they thought | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
nothing of what happened and nothing should happen to him as a result. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
One of the things that comes out of this of course, Angela, is that | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
although cleared, it will be a cloud that will hang over him and in his | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
words, his last year has been hell. I am not surprised it has been hell, | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
it must have been awful. Areas of his private life, it has been worked | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
through and combed through in court. He is cleared at the end. People | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
have been watching it, I am not surprised they have, the focus has | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
been on that. There is a particularly telling comment, I | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
think, in the Guardian where it says one of the alleged victims of the | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
trial said, following the verdict, "I do not believe that he should | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
have been charged, I do not think it was a criminal act, it happens in | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
every bar, it was not a big deal". This is an apparent victims saying | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
that this should not have taken place. Poor Nigel. I use that | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
expression advisedly, he must be feeling dreadful now. Even though he | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
has been cleared. It will take a long time for this to work through. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
It will sit with him for even longer. That quote, that suggestion | :04:29. | :04:39. | |
in the Times that senior Conservatives and the Crown | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Prosecution Service are at war. What do you think of that? There are | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Conservative MPs who are very annoyed with that and say that the | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
Crown Prosecution Service should not have brought forward such a weak | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
case, as it appears to be. We do not know the full arguments. It is a | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
huge test of the British principle. Innocent once you are cleared. It | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
will hang over him for the rest of his life. You have to think that | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
there is a case to be made. The Crown Prosecution Service must have | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
misjudged this one. Yes, you are innocent until proven guilty. When | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
it is this sort of case, and it is somebody who is in the public | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
domain, we could call them a celebrity... I am enormously | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
hesitant to come to any conclusions when something like this has | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
happened. I am a strong supporter of the British justice system. I think | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
that ours is overwhelmingly a good system. But it seems to me that in | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
some of these areas, this is just one, but in recent times the very | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
fact that the individual concerned has been a public figure, that has | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
resulted in a high degree of concentration on absolutely every | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
part of the case. In many instances, they seem to have recently been | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
cleared. Everything has been out there, as it would have been if they | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
had been found guilty. Do we have the balance right? Well, there is | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
clearly a difficult line here. You cannot prosecute cases simply | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
because it is a person in the public domain. At the same time, have they | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
done right? From an observer 's perspective, it is difficult to look | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
at this and feel anything other than concern. Let's move onto another | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
story. Onto the express. On EU at last. `` referendum on GE at last. | :06:41. | :07:00. | |
It is absolutely absurd. ``the EU. This is about to MPs, they are | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
headbanging you respect it is, although I hesitate to call them | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
that. ``eUROSCEPTICS. They will organise an informal referendum | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
``Eurosceptics. To headline it as the referendum that was promised by | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
David Cameron... I think this is one of a great many European stories | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
that we will see. Not only because we have a European election in 6`8 | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
weeks time. We will see what happens there before you accuse anyone of | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
anything. Let's see who wins. This touches a spot which is something of | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
concern within the UK. What is our position in Europe? When will people | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
have their say? Will we have 20 people vote, 2000 people vote? It is | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
not like it is headline. There is a picture of their Prince William and | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
Kate, they are flying in a German plane? I don't think so! | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Side`by`side, a sheer accident. Doesn't she looks bended? We do not | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
have a picture of Prince George today `` splendid. I thought they | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
were lovely photographs. I am going to move on before we get stuck on | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
that! Onto the Independent. An official statistic, the UK only has | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
three airports! Have I been miscounting X, `` miscounting? This | :08:46. | :08:57. | |
is about how net immigration has been miscounted over a 10`year | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
period because the survey which it was based on has focused on three | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
main airports. It has missed 350,000 Eastern European is coming into | :09:08. | :09:19. | |
regional airports. ``Europeans. The Labour Party said they would bring | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
in a system of counting people in and out, that will be difficult for | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
the Conservatives to answer. You described it as" uncanny", if this | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
is correct, 350,000... What about Glasgow, Edinburgh, Luton, | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
Birmingham, Southampton? I do not think Ryanair flies from any of the | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
main ones. You cannot have an official statistic that ignores some | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
of the main airports into the UK. `` entry points. You are extrapolating | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
from a sample. The point is they are sampling the wrong places. With the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
influx of workers from Europe, people are coming into other | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
airports, that was not reflected in the sample. It is not quite as | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
ridiculous as the headline suggests. If you are going to have a sample | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
where you are going to grow something, it has to be | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
representative. It has to be statistically significant. That | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
story appears in subsequent newspapers, that will be | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
interesting, I believe it is a story that will travel. Onto the times. A | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
story carried by the Times on the Daily Telegraph `` and the Daily | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
Telegraph. Thousands of men were wrongly refused treatment for | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
prostate cancer as tests underplayed the severity of the disease. It is a | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
worrying story. You rely on these tests. The procedure, as I | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
understand it, looking at the story quickly, the tests tend to suggest | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
that the cancer is not particularly aggressive. The normal thing to do | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
in that situation is not to operate. They end up not operating on men's | :11:22. | :11:32. | |
cancers who were more aggressive. Sometimes they have been advised | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
against surgery due to the side effects. But, if a diagnosis is | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
wrong...? If you read this story, it is very concerning. You want people | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
to be tested for cancer. There is not that assumption that once you | :11:50. | :11:59. | |
are tested, you have a result that is right `` there is that | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
assumption. More needs to be done. We need more information about the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
analysis itself. Quite often on medical stories, there is analysis, | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
and then more analysis and then a dispute between experts about what | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
is right and wrong. I hope this does not put men off getting tested for | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
cancer. We do not often make it onto the business pages, but there are | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
some interesting stories. Let's begin with the Co`op bank and the | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
Co`op group. Angela, care to have a stab at this one? This story is | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
about the fact there is more losses than have so far been revealed as | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
far as the Co`op is concerned. On the back of this, there is the | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
question of how this organisation is run in the future. A few weeks ago, | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
the chief executive was brought in to sort out the problems, but he | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
walked. He described it as" ungovernable". In the last 24 hours, | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
one of the independent directors who was brought in to sort out issues | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
has walked, Lord Myners. Tomorrow, it seems we will have revealed to us | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
what was expected, and that is more losses. It is an integral part of so | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
many towns and cities of this country. Getting the Co`op back on | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
course in financial terms, in its management terms, strategic | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
direction, and how it has a ball that can run the organisation is | :13:38. | :13:47. | |
pretty important dashboard. `` is pretty important, `` board. There | :13:48. | :14:00. | |
are questions about how you do the government reorganisation. | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Underneath, there are a lot of companies like this with their own | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
independence, and they have a say on how the big organisation is run. | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
Some sectors are doing very well? Yes, they are our largest | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
undertaken. I don't know if you have been into a Co`op story in it, but | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
some are pretty good. The ones that I have been to are, at least. I | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
thought you were going to say a funeral parlour! Yes, I have been to | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
one of those as well. There is something about getting this whole | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
enchilada correct. Sorting out the bank, and ensuring it is well | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
managed. It is a mess. It seems to be in a bad way. I am no expert, | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
Angela is an expert. But, it sounds to me like the Co`op bank is not | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
much longer for this world. And the rest of the movement will have to | :15:04. | :15:15. | |
find some way... Of sustaining it. Members often vote on mutual future. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
These are a lot of questions. I probably should address the new | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
question to you. Marks Spencer. The picture to go with this story, | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
their new brand of women, as it were, who aren't really professional | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
models. Interesting this is all to try to suggest that the Chief | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Executive, that the strategy is working. Yes. I think it's a nice | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
idea, to have a range of non` models modelling the clothes. The Marks | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
Spencer range is actually rather good. This is Marks Spencer is. | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
I'm offended because this advert isn't directed me. I am dressed | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
entirely in Marks Spencer is! But I think the number of times you buy | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
a suit is probably much less than the times I buy a jacket. I too have | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
quite a lot of Marks Spencer clothing on but I won't show you | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
where it is! We don't often get that out of the paper review! I don't | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
know where to take it now. Well, the clothing sales are up. Absolutely. | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
Anything you would like to own up to? I think I am being told we have | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
to finish. Thank you both very much. Revelations indeed. Stay with us. At | :16:38. | :16:55. | |
midnight, more on the news that a man has been charged over the 1998 | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
Omagh bombing. Coming up next, time for the sport. | :17:02. | :17:14. | |
Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm Hugh Ferris. Day one of the Masters | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
and it's almost like a year hasn't passed. Defending champion Adam | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
Scott is right in the hunt again at Augusta. Banned for 18 months but | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
back by December. Asafa Powell calls his backdated doping suspension | :17:30. | :17:30. | |
unfair and | :17:31. | :17:32. |
