The editor of Newsnight has stepped aside as the BBC admits there were | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
errors in his response to dropping the Jimmy Savile sex abuse | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
investigation. The corporation expresses regret that some of the | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
reasons given for shelving the item were inaccurate and incomplete. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Ever since the decision was taken to shelve our story, I've not been | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
happy with public statements made by the BBC. I think they are | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
misleading about the nature of the investigation we were doing. | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
motorist accused of deliberately driving into pedestrians in a | :00:44. | :00:48. | |

Good afternoon. The editor of BBC's Newsnight is stepping aside with | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
immediate effect, while an independent review is conducted | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
into why an investigation into allegations of sex abuse by Jimmy | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
Savile was dropped by the programme. The BBC says Peter Ripon's | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
explanation of why the item was pulled was inaccurate and | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
incomplete, and it regretted the errors. The Panorama programme says | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the fresh evidence will be revealed into why the second on Jimmy Savile | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
was not aired. Tonight's Panorama special is unprecedented. A | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
detailed investigation by one BBC current affairs programme into | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
editorial decisions taken by another. The central question - why | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
did Newsnight last year dropped its investigation into Jimmy Savile | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
when, according to Panorama, it had evidence of abuse? Some of the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Newsnight team weren't happy with their editor's decision or what the | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
BBC then said about it. Ever since the decision was taken to shelve | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
our story, I've not been happy with public statements made by the BBC. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
I think they are very misleading about the nature of the | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
investigation we were doing. Shortly after Newsnight's proposed | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
transition date, the BBC had scheduled this Christmas tribute to | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Jimmy Savile. Panorama says there's no evidence the Newsnight item was | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
dropped because of it, but the Newsnight team wore their editor | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
that the decision could damage the BBC's reputation. I wish it the | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
story would come out and if it did, the BBC would have to cover up. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Peter Ripon is stepping aside until an independent enquiry into the | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
decision to pull the Savell -- Jimmy Savile investigation has been | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
explained. The key factor was that police and prosecutors had decided | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
to take no action against Jimmy Savile because of lack of evidence. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Today the BBC posted a new block, correcting some crucial details in | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
:03:52. | :03:54. | ||
The BBC's new director general, George Entwhistle, only appointed | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
to the top job in July, gives evidence to MPs tomorrow. They will | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
want to know why he didn't, in his old job as head of television, | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
cancel the Christmas tribute when he heard about Newsnight's | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
investigation. The trouble was that George was at the scene of the | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
crime and has therefore been compromised from the start. It | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
looks as if he and the chairman and others have been out in public with | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
statements that a partial and misleading. As he left home this | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
morning, George Entwistle was giving little away. I will be | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
taking questions that the Culture Select Committee tomorrow. Then | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
there are the two independent reviews. One looking at Jimmy | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Savile's activities over the past decades and the Pollard review, | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
looking at exactly what happened on Newsnight. Jimmy Savile was | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
sometimes challenged during his lifetime, not least in this | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
documentary by Louis Theroux, who asked him about allegations he was | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
a paedophile. For how do they know whether I am on not? How does | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
anybody know? I know I'm not. add to the BBC's embarrassment that | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
he was allowed to get away with decades of abuse, there are now | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
further questions about the BBC's journalism and its management. The | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
BBC expressing regret for these inaccuracies. Can you go into that | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
in more detail? There are three that they've spelt out. One example, | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Peter Ripon's blog at the start of this month said all the women who'd | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
been spoken to by Newsnight had contacted the police independently | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
already, and that Newsnight therefore had no new evidence | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
against any other person which might have helped the police. The | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
BBC now say that in some cases the women had in fact not spoken to the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
police, so Newsnight might have had new evidence that the police were | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
not aware of. This is very embarrassing for the BBC | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
corporately, for George Entwhistle, for the BBC's chairman - all of | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
whom have relied on Peter Ripon's account of affairs in putting | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
forward the case. The General Trust, Chris Patten said this morning he | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
is deeply concerned that this proves not now to have been the | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
case, that it was not wholly accurate. He is very much hoping | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
the internal inquiry will get to the bottom of it. The Panorama | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
programme says it's got fresh evidence on the whole story. The | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
director general ghost before MPs tomorrow. What will the MPs be | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
asking him? As I said in that piece, they will want to know generally | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
where we now stand with this but specific questions but jawed | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Entwistle, why, when he was told at some awards function that Newsnight | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
was investigating Jimmy Savile, he didn't ask for further details, | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
knowing, as he must have done, that he had this Christmas special | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
tribute lined up. Why he didn't think, maybe I need to pull that a | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
bit, maybe it Lord look inappropriate. The Prime Minister | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
has given his reaction. I think these investigations are important | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
and they are independent. They need absolutely to be seen to be | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
independent. The nation is appalled, we are all appalled by the | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
allegations of what Jimmy Savile did. They seem to get worse by the | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
date. Every organisation who is involved with him, whether the NHS | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
or whether the BBC, needs to get to the bottom of what happened. The | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
development today are concerning because the BBC it has effectively | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
changed its story about why he dropped the Newsnight programme | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
about Jimmy Savile. These are serious questions which need to be | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
answered, answered by these independent reviews that the BBC | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
has established. I'm sure they will be. Let's talk to our political | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
correspondent now. The Prime Minister very keen to say Downing | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
Street are keeping a close eye on what happens next. Despite the | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
Prime Minister's evident concern, he is willing to give the BBC some | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
line under this crisis. To that extent it is difficult -- different | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
to the Hatton at Saga under the last Labour government into the | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
death of Dr David Kelly, when there was this steel jawed determination | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
to inflict pain and retribution on the BBC. Today, it was said the BBC | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
are taking the allegations seriously. But it is a breathing | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
space, not a lifeline. Number 10 have not ruled out an independent | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
enquiry. The Prime Minister's spokesman declined to give any | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
public backing to the Director General. When the director general | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
appears before the Select Committee tomorrow, it seems to me that if in | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
any way it adds to the ambiguity and confusion surrounding the BBC's | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
response, then that breathing space they become just a fleeting breath | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
:08:53. | :09:06. | ||
Other news now, a motorist who is accused of deliberately driving | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
into pedestrians in Cardiff has appeared in court. Eight people, | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
including four children are being treated in hospital for their | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
injuries. Two of the adults are in a critical condition. | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
Our correspondent reports. Accused of murder - 13 counts of attempted | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
:09:34. | :09:34. | ||
murder, four charges of assault and a count of dangerous driving. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Matthew Turviden was brought to court. He stood in court to confirm | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
his age and name and that he was of no fixed abode. He listened as the | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
19 counts were read out. On Friday afternoon, emergency services were | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
called to multiple hit-and-run incidents on streets in Ely and | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Leckwith to the west of the Welsh capital. Reports centred on a white | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
van, captured here on CCTV. 32- year-old Karina Menzies died and 13 | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
people were taken to the University Hospital of Wales. Two adults and | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
four children are still being treated. He was remanded in custody | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
and will appear before Newport Crown Court tomorrow via video link. | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
Let's talk to our correspondent in Cardiff now. You mentioned eight | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
:10:38. | :10:41. | ||
people were still in hospital, take us through their conditions. I have | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
spoke on the the University Hospital of Wales in the past half | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
an hour. They told me the condition is largely as it has been | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
throughout the morning. There are eight people being treated at the | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
University Hospital of Wales here. Four adults and four children. The | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
condition of two of the adults is described as critical, but stable. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
Thank you. Five Royal Marines are in court | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
this lunch time accused of murdering an insurgent in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Afghanistan. The incident is understood to have happened in 2011, | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
after an engagement with an insurgent. The case is being held | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
at the Colchester military court centre. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Three men have gone on trial at Woolwich Crown Court accused of | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
planning a bombing campaign which could have been on a scale greater | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
than the 2005 London bombings. They are accused of planning a campaign | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
which could have left eight rucksacks in eight targets across | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
the UK. Our correspondent was in court. The court was told this was | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
a plan to commit mass murder in the UK. Two men in the dock had | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
recorded so-called martyrdom videos, justifying the carnage they | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
intended to cause. The plan, the jury was told, was for these to be | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
released after their deaths. They stand accused of plotting to become | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
the country's next suicide bombers. All British-born and from | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
Birmingham. Today, the court was told that if they succeeded their | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
attack would have been on a scale greater than the London bombings of | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
2005. The men were detained in September last year when officers | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
from the West Midlands counter- terrorism unit moved in with a | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
series of raids and arrests. Today, the prosecuting counsel told the | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
:12:45. | :12:52. | ||
One of them described their plan as another 9/11. | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
This man is 15 to have been a key influence on the defendants. Until | :12:58. | :13:08. | |
his death, last year, he was a pivotal figure. Two of the men had | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
travelled to Pakistan, where it is alleged they learnt to make bombs | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
and poisons and handle weapons. Back in Birmingham, it is claimed | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
they funded their plot through street collections, in which they | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
were described as stealing with their own community. They pretended | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
to be fund-raising for Muslim Aid. They kept most of the cash and | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
handed over only a fraction to the charity. The flat 06 one of the men | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
was said to have been turned into a safe house, where they began to | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
experiment with chemicals for their homemade bombs. All are described | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
as Jihadists who decided to become terrorists. It is said they decided | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
to send others to Pakistan for training. Six other associates have | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
pleaded guilty to terrorism charges. Two others have pleaded not guilty. | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
These three in the dock are denying all the charges against them. | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
Thank you. The British firm BP has agreed to | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
:14:22. | :14:25. | ||
sell its half stake in the Russian ven cure TNK-BP to Rosneft. It | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
would make BP the second biggest shareholder in Rosneft after the | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
Russian state. There have been clashes in Lebanon following the | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
funeral of the internal security chief. The most serious | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
confrontations took place in Tripoli, where at least three | :14:39. | :14:49. | |
:14:49. | :14:52. | ||
people were killed. Brig Wissam al- hassan was killed on Friday. In | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
Jordan 11 militants have been arrested who planned to bomb | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
attacks. The men, all Jordanian had brought in weapons for neighbouring | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
Syria and McQuaid operations in Iraq helped them make the | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
explosives. David Cameron is calling for private firms and | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
charities to have a greater role in the rehabilitation of prisoners N a | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
speech this lunch time, Mr Cameron said the Government must think hard | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
about dealing the causes of crime. He insisted long prison sentences | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
were the only real punishment for serious offenders in England and | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
Wales. Keeping prisoners inside is one | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
thing. Stopping theming back after the gates are opened and released | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
is another. The Prime Minister thinks charities and companies who | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
take on the job of making sure prisoners don't offend again should | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
only be paid in full if they are successful. By payment my results, | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
it should only be paid for what works. Crime going down, our | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
country getting safer. I want to put rocket boosters under it. Today, | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
I have an announcement to make. By the end of 2015 I want to see | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
payment by results spread across rehabilitation. They are testing | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
that idea here in Peterborough, as one of a handful of pilot schemes, | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
Labour says they are expanding it so quickly David Cameron could be | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
risking public safety. You are in danger of making a hasty | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
announcement without seeing the evidence. Is this based ond | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
evidence? Is it based on the self- interest of the Prime Minister? | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
It is a great... The idea is not new, when he became Justice | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
Secretary, Ken Clarke promised a rehabilitation revelation. 90% of | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
serious offenders sentenced last year had committed previous | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
offences. Some have doubts about the whole approach. People may feel, | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
OK, we'll help the people who are easiest to help. We will park on | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
one side the people who are more difficult, who have more complex | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
needs. Announcements in this area often meet with a cautious response | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
from campaigners. There is potentially big change here with no | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
extra money. On law and order, tone matters as well as the policy. | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
Conservatives used to sound like this. Prison works. | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
That was then. The current Tory leader wants to be characterised as | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
something who -- once characterised as someone who hugged hoodies | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
talked about rehabilitation. Politicians have got used to the | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
trick of sounding thoughtful and tough on crime. They know they will | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
be judged on their results. Now, a quick look at the time. The | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
editor of Newsnight is stepping aside as the BBC admits there were | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
errors in his response to dropping the Jimmy Savile sex abuse | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
allegation. Coming up - the National Lottery's millionaires - | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
what do they do once they win all that money? Later on London - the | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
increase in people who rely on benefits to pay their race. The | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
last remaining cycle speedway club in London calls for new members to | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
:18:17. | :18:19. | ||
keep the sport going in the capital. Cycling's world Governing body has | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
said there's no place in the sport for Lance Armstrong, as it | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
confirmed it will strip him of his seven Tour de France titdles. It | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
comes after a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency which produced | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
evidence to show that Lance Armstrong had cheated for much of | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
his career. He's the cancer survivor who became a cycling | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
superstar. Today, Lance Armstrong's spectacular fall from grace was | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
finally complete. The rulers of the sport he shamed confirming he would | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
be punished and that his past had finally caught up with him. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
The UCI will ban Lance Armstrong from cycling and the UCI will strip | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
him of his seven Tour de France titles. Lance Armstrong has no | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
place in cycling. The UCI will recognise the | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
sanctions imposed upon the riders who testified against Lance | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
Armstrong. The UCI indeed thanks them for telling their stories. | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
had been Lorded as one of sport's greatest champions. Very different | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
language is now being described to describe Lance Armstrong. These are | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
all words taken from a report, which alleged his success had been | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
fuelled by performance-enhancing drugs. The 1,000 pages of | :19:33. | :19:35. | |

A fund-raising event for his Livestrong foundation in Austin | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Texas this weekend showed he retained support. Despite his | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
sponsors deserting him there was still no confession. It's been a | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
difficult couple of weeks for me, for my family, for my friends, for | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
:20:07. | :20:09. | ||
this foundation. I get asked a lot - people say, "how you doing?" I | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
say this every time. I say, "I have been better, but I have also been | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
worse." The UCI has been asked how much it knew about the cheating. | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
Today, came an apology. If I have to apologise now on behalf of the | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
UCI,ly say I am sorry that we could not catch every single one of them | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
red-handed and throw them out of the sport. This is the mopltd | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
cycling finally accepted what so many have suspected. It marks the | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
end of the road for Lance Armstrong, but could be the start of a | :20:46. | :20:56. | |

recovery for the sport from the Officers have told the BBC's | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
inside-out programme that statements were at least partially | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
dictated come after the fierce clashes between miners and police | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
at a coke works in Sheffield. It was the most violent confrontation | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
of the miners' strike. 10,000 pickets against 5000 police. 93 | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
minors were arrested. Many were put on trial for riot, which at the | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
time carried potentially life in prison. But the case collapsed when | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
it became clear police evidence wasn't reliable. Now one former | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
officer has revealed to us at least part of his statement was dictated. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
I recall this policeman in plain clothes. He was reading from some | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
paper, a paragraph or so. He asked the people to use that as their | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
starting paragraph. We are got hold of around 100 police statements | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
from Orgreave. And officer after officer from forces across the | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
country use the same phrases over and over again. We showed them to | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
an independent Sheffield barrister. When you put their statements | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
literally side-by-side, you can see that their statements begin in an | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
absolutely identical fashion. officers from four different forces | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
used the phrase, as we stood there in the line a continuous stream of | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
missiles came from the pickets into the police line. You can't get | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
statements written in the way they have been done here and find such a | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
degree of similarity between the statements without there being some | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
degree of collusion. The miners were all acquitted but the actions | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
of the police went unchallenged and there were echoes of that behaviour | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
again five years later. There's a much bigger miscarriage of justice | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
here at Orgreave. It is not isolated because we see the same | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
thing at Hillsborough. Not a single police officer was prosecuted. | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
Hillsborough and the cover-up that followed are being investigated by | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
the Independent Police Complaints Commission. There are now growing | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
calls for a re-examination of police conduct over Orgreave. South | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Yorkshire police wouldn't give us an interview but they say they are | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
not aware of any concerns being raised by the judge at the original | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
trial. They say they will now consider whether any review is | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
necessary. Viewers in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire can see the full story | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
tonight. It is on Inside Out at 7:30pm on BBC One. It will be | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
available everywhere else on the BBC iPlayer. It has been described | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
as the biggest change to policing in a generation. Today, booklets | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
are being sent out to 20 million households in England and Wales | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
with information about next month's elections for police and crime | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
commissioners. The new commissioners will be able to set | :23:48. | :23:58. | |
:23:58. | :23:58. | ||
the budget for the local force and hire and fire chief constables. It | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
is the biggest change to police governance in decades. But are the | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
voters hearing had field ready to elect a police and crime | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
commissioners? You can vote for someone who will tell the police | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
which kind of crimes to prioritise. Sounds good, good idea. Do you | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
think you will be voting? Definitely. I've never voted. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
for anyone? Never will do. So you won't vote for a police | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
commissioner? No. Those voters in England and Wales outside London | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
who do want to take part get their chance in less than four weeks. At | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
the moment, a force like hard picture is overseen by an authority | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
with 17 members. In its place, a single elected commissioner will | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
take charge. There will be 41 of these individuals in total and they | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
will be paid 65-�100,000 a year. These commissioners won't be able | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
to tell officers which Grimes to investigate on a given day, but | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
they will set the strategic priorities for the force. Some say | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
the police areas covered by each commission are far too big, making | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
it impossible for them to represent local people. And yesterday, a | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
former head of Scotland Yard caused a storm with these remarks. This is | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
just a very strange issue to come forward with in such difficult | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
times for the country. I've never said this before but I actually | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
hope people don't Bolt. But some victims of serious crime, like | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
Marcel, think people should vote, as long as the candidates are good | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
enough. Make sure the people you put in control of people who have | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
some knowledge, not just been to college and learnt psychology. We | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
need people out there who have some form of experience with victims. | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
Ministers say commissioners will give it frustrated community | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
somewhere to turn. But in one opinion poll out today, just 15 % | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
they were certain to vote. There is more information on the BBC website | :26:01. | :26:11. | |

about the police commissioner Less than two-thirds of | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
millionaires who won the National Lottery gave up work straight away, | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
that's according to research which looks at 3000 winners since 1994. | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
The study of the millionaire's suggested a fifth of them are still | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
working, despite winning life changing amounts of money. The | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
lottery has no create a -- has now created 3000 millionaires. Research | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
reveals exactly how they've spent their money. They've bought almost | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
8000 homes, more than 17,000 cars and, surprisingly, one in 10 | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
lottery millionaires splashes out on a caravan. And one winner of | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
�5.1 million has started a business encouraging others to send their | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
money up in smoke. The set up a firework and fancy dress shop. | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
Basically, we set it up because we wanted to be grounded, to have | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
normality in our lives. My son was only 20 at the time when I won and | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
I wanted to make sure that he had a future ahead of him, so we set the | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
shop up. And most people have an idea of what they'd do with a | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
seven-figure sum. Live on an island, by an island and stay there happily | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
ever after. Go on holiday, but I'd have to give a lot of it away. | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
think it creates more trouble than it's worth. I don't need money. | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
Today's figures have focused on the positive, but far from every | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
lottery winner has gone on to live a fairy-tale. Michael Carroll was | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
billed as the ultimate Lotto yob. He blew his �9.7 million win, ended | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
up in jail and issued a warning to future lottery millionaires. Flee | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
the country before the leeches get hold of you. As for Debbie, | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
Halloween means it's her busiest week of the year and she won't | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
finish her shift today until 8pm. So no sign of her lottery bubble | :28:09. | :28:19. | |
:28:19. | :28:21. | ||
bursting. Now let's have a quick It has been very grey and misty so | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
far today and we will have more of that over the next couple of days. | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
We will keep a lot of cloud through the afternoon, it will be damp with | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
light rain. But if you look at the satellite picture, there are some | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
exceptions. Hold in the cloud across the north-west corner of | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
Scotland and the north coast of Northern Ireland. Elsewhere, it's | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
the cloud which will continue to dominate. Although it is cloudy, | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
we've got temperatures not doing too badly in the south. They will | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
hold up underneath that blanket of cloud. But where we keep clearer | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
skies to the north-west corner, it may stay a bit chilly but the touch | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
of frost. That misty weather, quite mild in the south and some | :29:02. | :29:07. | |
extensive fog. Very poor visibility first thing tomorrow morning. It | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
will be widespread, that mist and fog, particularly across any higher | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
ground as well. Like winds, but the temperature is really quite high to | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
begin the morning. All of that mist and fog really sitting across much | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
of Yorkshire, the hills of the Pennines, very poor visibility | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
first thing. A little bit of fog forming across the north-west | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
corner but that should lift to give brighter skies first thing. It's a | :29:33. | :29:40. | |
similar story across parts of Northern Ireland. We've got all of | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
the cloud, mist and fog for much of Wales and south-west England. | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
Because it is quite extensive, there is the chance of is causing | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
some disruption to travel. The Met Office have got a number of | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
warnings in force. Just allow a bit more time for your journey first | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
thing tomorrow morning. And only very slowly Bill that lift and | :29:59. | :30:04. | |
clear through the day. It lifts in towards low cloud, so you can | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
expect another grey day with patchy outbreaks of rain. Just the north- | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
west corner of Scotland will see the best of the sunshine. It's a | :30:16. | :30:21. | |
case of spot the difference on Wednesday. We do it all over again. | :30:21. | :30:28. | |
We do keep a lot of cloud. It is all this moist, mild air we've got | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
with us through much of this week. Not a huge amount of change day-by- | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
day but for the end of the wicket looks like there will be a change | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
as the cold air moves down from the north. It is colder air but clear | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
air. So hopefully by Friday we will see a bit more sunshine, but we | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
could see one or two showers around. We will keep you posted through the | :30:48. | :30:58. | |

The editor of Newsnight is stepping aside as the BBC admits there were | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
errors in his response to dropping the Jimmy Savile sex abuse | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
investigation. The Prime Minister says the nation is appalled by the | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
revelations about the presenter. Developments today are concerning | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
