Yet more shocking re-lations about the extent of a-- revelations about

the extent of abuse carried out by Jimmy Savile in hospitals. His

victims, aged between five and 75, were both patients and staff. He

assaulted them at dozens of NHS hospitals for decades. The

organisation was star-struck about Jimmy Savile and failed over a

period of 50 years to ever question why he was there or find out his

motivation or understand him better. The Health Secretary has apologised

to victims who were let down by the NHS. There are still more

investigations to come. Also tonight: I have learnt some valuable

lessons says an emotional Rebekah Brooks, after speaks for the first

time after being cleared of phone hacking charges. T I am innocent of

the crimes I was charged with. FIFA bites back. Luis Suarez is out

of the World Cup and banned from football for four months for biting

an opponent. And time to cut back on sugar. Experts say we must more than

half the amount we consume every day.

of sexual abuse carried out by Jimmy Savile at NHS hospitals in England

has been exposed in a series of investigations. His victims, both

patients and staff ranged in age from just five to 75.

They were abused in beds, in corridors and offices. Reports into

28 NHS hospitals, including Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor

psychiatric hospital, found that Savile was given unsupervised access

to vulnerable patients and concealed his activities by threatening staff.

The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, apologised to victims and said the

findings will cause a deep sense of revulsion. You may find some of this

report disturbing. Jimmy Savile shamelessly revelled in his fame. He

exploited it as a sexual predator. Entertainment, DJ and abuser. Across

decades, he raped, molested and assaulted on NHS wards. Many of his

victims, young teenage patients. My parents had put their faith in

the hospital to look after me. They clearly didn't. They clearly let me

down on that. For almost 50 years, at Leeds

General Infirmary, Savile roamed the corridors. As a volunteer porter he

was allowed unrestricted access day and night. Hidden in plain sight, he

assaulted children recovering from surgery. A young woman suffering

from brain damage. A small boy waiting for an x-ray. One

16-year-old girl he showered with gifts from a newsagent. Later in a

basement at the infirmary she saw a different side of him. He gently got

hold of me. Pulled me in and immediately started to kiss me, with

his tongue and at the same time his hands, his left-hand went on to my

right thigh, under my dress. Savile went on to seriously sexual

assault her. Jane told her mother, who thought no-one would believe it

because of Savile's fame. You feel dirt. You feel stupid. You analyse

it and think, could I have done anything differently to stop it? At

Leeds, Savile also had access to the mortuary. The inquiry heard

disturbing claims he interfered with dead bodies. By the late 1960s

Savile had the keys to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital. He went from

organising entertainment to being put in charge of a task force to

turn it around. So, many people say how come a showbiz punter is doing a

job like this at the world's number one mental hospital... He

job like this at the world's number highly-vulnerable fee male patients.

Broadmoor then was a troubled institution. Behind the high walls

there were disputes with staff. Many vulnerable, many disturbed patients.

All the more extraordinary then that it was here that Savile was given an

official role. These reports say Savile's offending

was missed because he dazzled and intimidated. He was known to be

promise Cowes, but managers didn't question further. It is not good

enough to say that senior management didn't know and therefore nothing

else could have been done. We know that reports were made. We know that

members of staff knew. So, should NHS managers have asked

more questions about Savile's behaviour. Alan got his job at

Broadmoor partly thanks to Savile. He got to know him in Leeds. Today

he had a few words for victims. I am very sorry for victims, of course I

am. I have no other comment. I am sorry. The Health Secretary today

did say sorry on behalf of the NHS. I want to apologise on behalf of the

Government and the NHS, to all the victims who were abused by Savile in

NHS-run institutions. Flamboyant, calculating, Savile has

left the NHS a bitter legacy of scandal.

28 hospitals that have been investigated. This is not the end of

it, is it? There's more to come. This is far from over. There are

four more hospitals to report, including Stoke Mandeville, where

there were allegations of awuz. The department of -- abuse. The

Department of Education is doing a review. The BBC is doing a review.

And Kate Lampard, who did today's main report, has to come one

recommendations. That will be later this year. Today, we have heard

various calls for a public inquiry. Particularly looking at the role of

senior civil servants and politicians. What did they know?

Including about the running of Broadmoor, effectively by Jimmy

Savile in the late 1980s? There was no suspicion of abuse at that time.

As for the present, Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, has written to all

leading hospitals saying they must look at their safeguarding patient

safety. The former boss of News International, Rebekah Brooks, has

spoken for the first time since she was charged of charges related to

phone hacking. She thanked the jury and said she felt vindicated. She

described how tough the last three years have been for her and those

close to her family. Here is our home editor.

It was a carefully orchestrated media opportunity, for someone more

used to being on the other side of the presspack. Rebekah Brooks with

her husband gave her first public appearance since her acquittal two

days ago. I am innocent of the crimes I was charged with. I feel

vindicated by the unanimous verdicts. The emotional impact of

the eight-month long trial was on display for all to see. Rebekah

Brooks's legs shaking as she spoke. When I was arrested it was in the

middle of controversy of comments and some of that was fair, but much

was not. I am grateful for the jury... I am very grateful for them

coming to their decision. Here at the home in central London, an

extraordinary piece of street theatre. The central characters have

become the subjects of public fascination. The question - what

happens next for the Brookses? I would like to say it is a time of

reflection for me. I have learnt some valuable lessons. Hopefully I

am the wiser for it. As they began their journey to their home in the

cots wold, Charlie Brooks spoke of Andy Coulson. I am concerned for

Andy. We wish them well. What wrould you like to say to him --

??FORCEWHITE REPORTER: What would you like to say to him if

you had the opportunity? I would like to say I am very sad. Coulson's

conviction may increase the charges of a corporate prosecution of the

news company. As the former News International building is being

pulled down, police are trying to build up a case.

They have already interviewed a number of senior staff from the

Murdoch media umpire under caution, number of senior staff from the

Andy Coulson, Rebekah Brooks and others have been spoken to

Andy Coulson, Rebekah Brooks and possible corporate action. Police

have told Rupert Murdoch and his son, James, that they want to

interview them too. Rupert Murdoch is in London and was filmed reading

Uruguay's star striker, Luis Suarez, is out of the World Cup after he was

banned from football for four months for biting an opponent on Monday. It

means Liverpool will be without Suarez for the start of the Premier

League season. Luis Suarez left for training as

normal this morning, but tonight his World Cup is over, his career in the

balance. These are the images that forced

football to act. The Uruguayan's bite into the shoulder of Italian

Giorgio Chiellini earlier this week. The third such incident in a highly

controversial career. Today, FIFA handed Suarez the longest ban in

World Cup history. Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football

pitch and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup when the eyes of

millions of people are on the stars on the field.

The consequences are dire for Suarez, as well as being banned for

nine internationals for his country, he'll miss 13 games for Liverpool,

due to a four-month ban. At the earliest he will not be

due to a four-month ban. At the Premier League until the

due to a four-month ban. At the November. He was banned for ten

matches last year for biting. Now his club have a decision to make.

There was very little or no provocation. This time, the same as

last. Will he do it again? From a Liverpool perspective, I think they

have to draw a line under this and Liverpool perspective, I think they

say one more indiscretion and it is all over. Here at Anfield today,

where Suarez is a hero, there was all over. Here at Anfield today,

dismay. It is all over. Here at Anfield today,

considering he was on international duty for Uruguay. I think he should

have got suspended from internationals. There is a

commercial fallout today. Adidas saying they supported the ban and

they were reviewing their sponsorship deal with Suarez.

Uruguay fans are sticking with him. We are angry with FIFA, also with

English people because they are making this bigger than what it

English people because they are Maybe not nine games, but maybe two

or three would be right. Suarez, you never walk alone. Alone

is exactly how Suarez may feel. He put a brave face on things this

afternoon, but he's at risk of becoming a footballing outcast.

Today the Uruguayan FA said they would apel. Their team will have to

make do without their star striker for their next match on Saturday.

Some will say that the ban is too lenient. Others will of argue it was

excessive. Whichever way you see it, there's no doubt that FIFA, with the

image at stake wanted to make a statement here. He cannot even go

inside a stadium for four months and Liverpool may decide to cut their

losses. There'll be suitors out there, such is this man's talent and

you will find perhaps in Spain someone is prepared to give him

another chance. If you are trying to take out a new mortgage, banks and

building societies will now have to check that you could still pay it

back if interest rates went up by 3%. The Bank of England has

announced new measures to cool the housing market. There'll be limits

on who can take out a mortgage that's at least four-and-a-half

times their income. House prices recovering gently in

most parts of the country, soaring in London and the south east. Today,

the Bank of England tried to prevent a wider boom, leading to a financial

bust that could harm us all. But the bank's Canadian governor

says crisis is not imminent. Now, the London housing market is pretty

strong. We are seeing house price increases of about 20% a year at the

moment. It looks to quite a lot of people

like a bit of a bubble. You don't think it is a dangerous bubble? What

concerns us at the Bank of England is indebtedness. That is why we

focussed in on underwriting standards, making sure that those

underwriting standards, which by and large, are responsible at the

moment, much more than they were in the past. We wanted to make sure

they don't go from responsible to reckless.

large, are responsible at the moment, much more than they One part

of the Bank of England's plan is to toughen up a bit rules on assessing

whether borrowers can afford a mortgage. More eye catching is a

stipulation that no more than 15% of any bank's new mortgages should be

4.5 times or more of A borrower's income. There are fears that banks

could become reckless in lending to those who cannot afford to repay.

But this person is aware that prices are not rising everywhere. When I

bought the property three and a half years ago, and with the renovation

costs, it has backed down to an even keel with the value of the property

which is quite frustrating. Today the Treasury. And to the act of

trying to cut lending risks by banning all mortgages of 4.5 times

or more household income from the help to buy scheme. Is the

Chancellor being irrational and hysterical about this? As you are

well aware, in the Help To Buy mortgage guarantee scheme, in effect

all those mortgages are also high loan to value mortgages as well as

being high loan to income mortgages. That is not the case

across a broader set of mortgages. There is double risk their, if you

will, and the Chancellor's announcement fulfils his pledge made

at Mansion house. The governor's confident wink which we have to hope

means banks are being stopped from going lending barbers in the housing

market. The top story this evening...

Investigations into the activities of Jimmy Savile in 28 NHS hospitals

People need to reduce drastically how much sugar they eat to help

tackle the obesity crisis. Experts advising the government say

we need to more than halve our daily intake of added sugar.

They say it should be reduced from 10% to 5%

of the calories we consume. That's the equivalent of nine

teaspoons of sugar a day for men and six teaspoons a day for women.

Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.

How do you wean an entire nation of sugar?

Our sweet tooth develops early. For breakfast, Laila has had cereal,

brioche with chocolate spread and apple juice in one meal.

That's nearly double the sugar limit.

It's a shock when you actually see it like that.

You don't consider when you are putting together the breakfast

in the morning that that is the amount of sugar that's in it.

Two out of three adults and a third of children are overweight or obese.

Cutting sugar consumption would slash calorie intake

and bring huge health benefits. We would reduce the risk of type two

diabetes, the risk of overeating and obesity and the risk of tooth decay.

Tooth decay applies to both adults and children and it is a great worry

because between 25 and 28% of five-year-olds have got tooth decay.

The new advice applies to sugar added to food and that

in fruit juice and honey. But not the sugars locked

inside fresh fruit and milk. Let me show you how easy it is to

reach the new limits on added sugar. Drinking this can would do it.

It contains 35 grams of sugar. That represents the entire

daily allowance for a man. And it's way over

the 25 grams limit for a woman. Or, just six of these biscuits would

take a man to his daily allowance. For women, it would be just four.

Some doctors would like to see a sugar tax on sweetened

soft drinks, something manufacturers say would be a mistake.

Ultimately this is about calories in and calories out.

We're not going to solve this by demonising soft drinks or

demonising sugar. The soft drink industry has been

taking action for many, many years to reformulate and

innovate and provide a wide range of low and no calorie options.

Simple changes we can make are serving water with meals or swapping

a chocolate bar for a piece of fruit, but given our love

of sugar, are these health remedies people will swallow?

Now, the weather. It has just started raining at Wimbledon and

there was rain earlier at jambo -- Glastonbury. There will be some

sunny spells tomorrow but there will also be heavy downpour is developing

and there will be thunder for some of us. We have seen rain working

across England and where. It is bringing rain into the London area

at the moment. Turning down across Northern Ireland eventually and

parts of northern England and showers across the south. A warmer

night compared to last night for the South. In Scotland, Chile wants

more. Dry with clear spells. In rural areas, easily down to 5

degrees. A decent and bright day for much of Scotland. Showers fading in

Northern Ireland. For England and a great start and heavy downpours

developing. It should brighten up across the afternoon but there could

be further heavy showers. Across East Anglia at the Midlands and

Wales it could be very wet indeed with a lot of rain falling in a

short space of time. Temperatures only 13 or 14 degrees. One or two

showers in Northern Ireland and Northern Ireland tightening up. Most

of Scotland fine and dry. First Saturday, largely dry for Scotland

and Northern Ireland. Northern England having a fine day. A risk of

heavy and potentially thundery showers across southern and eastern

England. Very much hit and miss but potentially brutal. Sunday,

scattered showers but the driest day of the weekend.
