companies accused of massively over-charging the taxpayer for

tagging criminals - G4S and Serco are said to have over-charged the

:00:12.:00:17.

government by "tens of millions of pounds".

:00:17.:00:19.

Ministers allege they were billed for tagging people who were already

:00:30.:00:37.

activity of any kind, no matter who is responsible. I am determined to

:00:37.:00:41.

put it right. We'll be asking what this could mean for the Government's

:00:41.:00:44.

policy of using more private sector firms in the criminal justice

:00:44.:00:49.

process. Also tonight. Party leaders at Westminster say

:00:49.:00:52.

they're against plans to give MPs an 11% pay rise.

Good evening. Two major security companies - G4S and Serco - are

:01:51.:01:53.

accused of massively over-charging the taxpayer for tagging criminals.

:01:53.:01:55.

The Serious Fraud Office is considering a criminal investigation

:01:55.:02:01.

in the case of G4S. Ministers say the government was billed for

:02:01.:02:04.

tagging people who were already in prison and in some cases even after

:02:04.:02:14.

they'd died. Our correspondent, June Kelly, has the story.

:02:14.:02:18.

G4S describes itself as the UK's leading security group. It has made

:02:18.:02:23.

millions providing services for the public sector but now it is one of

:02:23.:02:27.

the companies accused of overcharging millions as well.

:02:27.:02:32.

Details of a recent audit came from the Justice Secretary. It included

:02:32.:02:35.

charges for people back in prison, who hadn't had their tax removed,

:02:35.:02:41.

people who had left the country, those who had never been tagged in

:02:42.:02:46.

the first place but had returned to court. There are a small number of

:02:46.:02:49.

cases where charging continued for a period where the subject was known

:02:49.:02:54.

to have died. Serco is the second company under investigation. Tagging

:02:54.:03:00.

is a key part of the way criminals are monitored in the community. This

:03:00.:03:05.

lawyers has first-hand experience of the system not working. We have had

:03:05.:03:09.

clients who have been remanded in custody, yet Serco have still gone

:03:09.:03:13.

to the last known address to try to place a tag on them and restore the

:03:14.:03:17.

equipment at the address, even though they are in custody. It was

:03:17.:03:21.

under the Labour government that private contracts the tagging were

:03:21.:03:25.

first brought in. When it comes to these G4S and Serco contracts, they

:03:26.:03:32.

were awarded in 2005. Last year they were worth a total of �107 million

:03:32.:03:36.

for the two companies. It is estimated that in England and

:03:36.:03:40.

Wales, 15,000 people are wearing a tag. G4S said they had delivered

:03:40.:03:44.

their service in an open and transparent way. They said that in

:03:44.:03:50.

the past, it had been described as good value for money. Serco said, we

:03:50.:03:53.

are deeply concerned if we fall short of the standards accepted of

:03:53.:03:57.

all of us, and the company said that if any poor practice was found, it

:03:57.:04:04.

would be put right. Kirsten is about the privatisation of such services.

:04:04.:04:12.

-- there were questions tonight. the moment are austerity government

:04:12.:04:16.

is looking to do it cheaply. Like anything, if you do it to become EU

:04:16.:04:22.

compromise on collar to. G4S made headlines in the case of a man who

:04:23.:04:27.

was being deported, who died after being restrained by some of their

:04:27.:04:31.

security guards. An inquest jury decided he was unlawfully killed.

:04:31.:04:35.

Last year there were questions over the competence of G4S at the

:04:35.:04:38.

Olympics. The company failed to recruit enough security staff and

:04:38.:04:44.

the army had to be called in at the 11th hour. G4S claimed they had

:04:44.:04:48.

raised concerns about charging issues for tagging in 2009. The

:04:48.:04:53.

Ministry of Justice refused to comment.

:04:53.:05:01.

Let's go live to Westminster. Does this kind of thing less in the

:05:01.:05:04.

appetite of ministers for farming services out to the private sector?

:05:04.:05:10.

Big of and says not. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling made clear

:05:10.:05:15.

that the views and actions of G4S and Serco should not taint the

:05:15.:05:19.

reputation of other companies who do this kind of outsourcing. He made

:05:19.:05:23.

clear he will crack on with his plans to outsource much of the

:05:23.:05:26.

probation service to the private sector. Industry sources have told

:05:26.:05:30.

me that these companies have become increasingly reluctant to get

:05:30.:05:33.

involved in public contracts, simply because of the reputational risks

:05:34.:05:37.

that they involve. Equally, ministers are where they have got to

:05:37.:05:41.

get better at managing and fixing these contracts. Mr Grayling said it

:05:41.:05:47.

was wholly inadequate. Law and order will be one of the prime themes of

:05:47.:05:50.

the next election. We have had some important light shed on the economic

:05:50.:05:56.

debate. One of the big debates of the election campaign will be what

:05:57.:06:01.

mix of spending cuts and tax rises the parties offer to the

:06:01.:06:04.

electorate. George Osborne has given a clear indication of where his

:06:05.:06:08.

priorities lie. He said he felt he would be able to sort out the public

:06:08.:06:13.

finances, get rid of the deficit in the next parliament, with spending

:06:13.:06:18.

cuts alone. He said, I am clear that tax increases are not required to

:06:18.:06:23.

achieve this. Essentially he is calculating that the public are more

:06:23.:06:28.

willing to take spending cuts than tax rises. This is a huge battle

:06:28.:06:31.

line for the parties because labour and Lib Dems have not ruled out such

:06:31.:06:37.

tax rises. The election might be more than 18 months ago but

:06:37.:06:43.

campaigning has already begun. The leaders of the three biggest

:06:43.:06:47.

parties in Westminster have strongly condemned proposals to give MPs and

:06:47.:06:51.

11% pay rise after the next election. They say the plan is

:06:51.:06:54.

inappropriate and out of touch with the rest of the public sector. The

:06:54.:07:02.

independent audit which sets the MPs pay, IPSA, has recommended a salary

:07:02.:07:06.

increase by 2015 but pensions and allowances would be cut.

:07:06.:07:11.

Thinking of a career change? Come to Westminster. You will work long

:07:11.:07:15.

hours but get long holidays and a pretty decent salary. Unlike most

:07:15.:07:20.

people's, it could be about to increase and lawful lot, to �74,000

:07:20.:07:24.

a year, it 11% higher than now. Don't shout at your elected

:07:24.:07:28.

representatives. It is not their fault. The idea has come from this

:07:28.:07:34.

man, the chairman of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

:07:34.:07:38.

The question many people will ask is a really simple one. Why pay MPs

:07:38.:07:44.

more and why think about doing it now? Why do it now? There is never a

:07:44.:07:47.

good time. That is the reason why it has never been done and why we are

:07:48.:07:52.

in the mess we are in. It is getting it right for a generation, crafting

:07:52.:07:59.

the nettle and we say that pay, pension, remuneration, resettlement

:07:59.:08:06.

and so on, taken together, needs to be addressed, and addressed now.

:08:06.:08:09.

idea is open for public consultation, so here goes. I have a

:08:09.:08:16.

job offer for you. What is it?Yes, I would like it. This is an

:08:16.:08:24.

independent report. It is absolutely wrong. I can't agree with that. How

:08:24.:08:33.

on earth can they tell me that I must take... For them it is all

:08:33.:08:35.

right. They have a big responsibility. They should get the

:08:35.:08:43.

money. It is an extraordinary pay rise given current times. I will get

:08:43.:08:50.

1% I am guessing at best. When people learned what member 's

:08:50.:08:53.

parliament were claiming in expenses, there was fury. The result

:08:53.:08:58.

was that MPs would no longer decide their pay, expenses and pensions and

:08:58.:09:05.

today is what has resulted. The new package is not just a salary

:09:05.:09:10.

increase but it involves an end to generous final salary pensions, no

:09:10.:09:14.

more free evening meals, a cut in taxis home except after 11 o'clock

:09:14.:09:20.

PM and a big cut in golden goodbyes. So are the political

:09:20.:09:24.

leaders lining up to agree with the independent regulator they voted to

:09:24.:09:30.

create? Not exactly. I don't think MPs should get a 10% pay rise when

:09:30.:09:38.

nurses, teachers are facing pay freezes or low increases. MPs are

:09:38.:09:44.

inquiry well paid already. -- incredibly well paid. It is a

:09:44.:09:50.

privilege to be an MP will stop IPSA is a bit of a silly organisation and

:09:50.:09:55.

they can stick the pay rise. Members of the public, I would urge them to

:09:56.:10:00.

make their views known in the consultation. My own view is well

:10:00.:10:08.

known, I don't Inc it is justifiable. -- don't think. The

:10:08.:10:11.

reply is to point out that the current rate is lower than that for

:10:11.:10:17.

chief police superintendents and headteachers and have been slipping

:10:17.:10:21.

back. If the public say no, if political leaders say no, will you

:10:21.:10:26.

listen? Of course we will listen but what we will do, having listened, is

:10:26.:10:33.

for us. Very few MPs want to be seen publicly that they think they

:10:33.:10:38.

deserve the pay rise, but some will. If a member of Parliament is not

:10:38.:10:42.

worth the money, is it better to change the person or lower the pay?

:10:42.:10:46.

On the whole, think you want to have proper pay for the proper people.

:10:46.:10:50.

Some, including the Labour and Lib Dem leaders, say they will not take

:10:50.:10:54.

the increase. Just one problem. The independent regulator says they will

:10:54.:11:02.

pay every MP the same, whether they like it or not.

:11:02.:11:05.

Former Labour MP Dennis McShane is to be charged with false accounting

:11:05.:11:10.

in connection with claims he made for his Parliamentary expenses. He

:11:10.:11:13.

served as Europe minister under Tony Blair and is alleged to have faked

:11:13.:11:21.

receipts for research and services worth nearly �13,000.

:11:21.:11:24.

A vigil has been held in Greater Manchester ahead of tomorrow's

:11:25.:11:29.

funeral for the murdered soldier, Lee Rigby. Fusilier Rigby was killed

:11:29.:11:32.

as he returned to Woolwich Barracks in London in May. Asked men have

:11:32.:11:37.

been charged with his murder and will stand trial later this year --

:11:37.:11:42.

two men have been charged with his murder.

:11:42.:11:45.

To the sound of drums and applause, Fusilier Rigby's regimental

:11:45.:11:52.

colleagues led the way. Not just friends but soldiers he fought with.

:11:52.:11:57.

And into Bury Parish Church, they were followed by Lee Rigby's family.

:11:57.:12:01.

His two-year-old son, Jack, wearing the colours of Manchester United,

:12:01.:12:11.
:12:11.:12:12.

his father's team. For them, people in Bury came here to remember a

:12:12.:12:15.

young soldier and one of their own. His final moments in Woolwich were

:12:15.:12:20.

seen by many. For those who know what it means to serve, his death is

:12:20.:12:25.

hard to accept. We were absolutely horrified to hear about his death,

:12:25.:12:34.

especially the manner of his dying. It does emphasise being here today.

:12:34.:12:38.

The Fusiliers are a family and that is why we are here, to say farewell

:12:38.:12:43.

to a family friend. This was a private vigil service for the family

:12:43.:12:48.

and friends of Lyrica. The message to them, from the hundreds who came

:12:48.:12:52.

here, was a simple one -- family and friends of Lee Rigby. In these

:12:52.:12:58.

moments, they are not alone. In the Fusiliers's hometown of Middleton,

:12:58.:13:04.

flags fly at this unofficial Morrill. Here, Lyrica we has not

:13:05.:13:08.

been forgotten -- unofficial memorial. Here, Lee Rigby has not

:13:08.:13:13.

been forgotten. It is very important to pay tribute to him and after

:13:13.:13:17.

tomorrow, we are still there for him. Tomorrow, hundreds will line

:13:17.:13:27.
:13:27.:13:28.

the streets for Lyrica's funeral, -- for Lee Rigby's funeral. Mark

:13:28.:13:32.

Thompson has agreed to appear before a parliamentary committee to answer

:13:32.:13:34.

questions about payoffs to executives during his time at the

:13:34.:13:38.

BBC. He says he wants to clear up some inaccuracies following

:13:38.:13:42.

yesterday 's hearing, which look that payments to senior staff

:13:42.:13:46.

amounting to millions of pounds. The Court of Appeal is to review the

:13:46.:13:50.

sentence given to the former broadcaster Stuart Hall. He was

:13:50.:13:54.

jailed for 15 months in May after pleading guilty to 14 counts of

:13:54.:13:58.

indecent assault. The Attorney General said he requested the review

:13:59.:14:04.

after receiving complaints that the sentence was too lenient.

:14:04.:14:08.

Without radical reform, the NHS could face an unsustainable funding

:14:08.:14:12.

gap threatening the future of hospital services by the end of the

:14:12.:14:15.

decade according to Sir David Nicholson, the head of the NHS in

:14:15.:14:21.

England. The health service needs to find efficiencies of �20 billion by

:14:21.:14:27.

2015. NHS England says a further shortfall will arise by 2020 unless

:14:27.:14:31.

some bold changes are made. Political correspondent Vicki Young

:14:31.:14:37.

has the details. When it comes to local hospitals,

:14:37.:14:40.

loyalties run deep, changes to services are often met with howls of

:14:40.:14:47.

protest. But if the NHS is to live within its means, scenes like this

:14:47.:14:52.

could be repeated across England. Campaigners here have lost their

:14:52.:14:56.

fight to keep the A&E department at Trafford hospital and they say

:14:56.:15:00.

patients will suffer. If people have further to travel and longer to

:15:00.:15:05.

wait, lives are going to be at risk, that is the simple story.

:15:05.:15:09.

average, the emergency unit at Trafford treats just two patience

:15:09.:15:14.

and hour between midnight and 8am. Ministers insisted today that the

:15:14.:15:19.

case for scaling back was clear. primary objective as a government

:15:19.:15:24.

must be for the NHS to provide the best service for patients. Sometimes

:15:24.:15:27.

that means taking difficult decisions. And the head of NHS

:15:28.:15:32.

England says in future services will have to be concentrated in fewer

:15:32.:15:36.

hospitals because the system is under so much pressure. There is an

:15:36.:15:40.

ageing population suffering from more complex conditions, new

:15:40.:15:46.

treatments are often costly, and the NHS budget is forecast to go up by

:15:46.:15:50.

just 0.01%. Getting to a place where you are reducing the numbers of

:15:50.:15:56.

staff on every ward, that is not acceptable to us in the NHS, and so

:15:56.:16:00.

it is a stark choice. Do we go for service change in the way we deliver

:16:00.:16:03.

for patients, or do we sleepwalk into a position where we reduce

:16:03.:16:09.

quality? This is a blunt warning, and if the NHS is to carry on

:16:09.:16:13.

providing free treatment without a drop in quality, then things have to

:16:13.:16:18.

change. That could mean services like A&E and maternity wards are not

:16:18.:16:22.

on everyone's doorstep, and in the past politicians and the public have

:16:22.:16:25.

been reluctant to sign up to that. It is always tempting for

:16:25.:16:29.

politicians to go along with public opinion. In opposition, David

:16:29.:16:33.

Cameron promised to protect hospitals, like this one in north

:16:33.:16:35.

London, but once in power he approved the closure of emergency

:16:36.:16:40.

care year. Health experts say it is time for all the parties to tackle

:16:40.:16:46.

the problem head on. This is the biggest challenge the NHS as based

:16:46.:16:50.

on its entire history. Politicians will have to be very brave and

:16:50.:16:53.

supporting doctors and managers in engaging with the public to explain

:16:53.:16:57.

why the changes must take place to deliver better care within the

:16:57.:17:02.

available resources. The message from NHS leaders could not be

:17:02.:17:11.

clearer - the time for tinkering Veterans of the Korean War have

:17:11.:17:15.

taken part in a service at Westminster Abbey to mark the 60th

:17:15.:17:19.

anniversary of the end of the conflict. British forces served as

:17:19.:17:24.

part of a UN coalition of the Communist North Korea invaded the

:17:24.:17:28.

South. 100,000 British troops were involved in the war, which ended

:17:28.:17:31.

three years later with the cease-fire. More than 1000 of them

:17:31.:17:36.

lost their lives, and 1000 were taken prisoner by North Korean

:17:36.:17:39.

forces or went missing. Robert Hall reports on what became known as the

:17:39.:17:49.

Parading under brilliant blue skies, the men who remember their service

:17:49.:17:56.

in a conflict so often overshadowed by the Second World War. As young

:17:56.:18:00.

conscripts, they sailed for Korea to fight in extreme temperatures,

:18:00.:18:07.

across hostile terrain, and often hugely outnumbered. In the dusty

:18:07.:18:11.

yard of a Korean school, they assembled to salute the men who held

:18:11.:18:16.

the line... Some are survivors of a battle where the Gloucestershire

:18:16.:18:20.

Regiment lost two thirds of its strength to the Chinese for

:18:20.:18:24.

surrounding its positions. Chinese were absolutely surrounding

:18:24.:18:28.

us, they really gave us a pasting because they were so many of them.

:18:28.:18:33.

In actual fact, the crossfire was probably killing their own men,

:18:33.:18:39.

because they were all around us, you see?

:18:39.:18:43.

Under the vaulted roof of the Abbey, veterans shared their memories with

:18:43.:18:48.

representatives from South Korea and the 22 nations which fought under

:18:48.:18:51.

the United Nations flag. Memories of three years during which nearly 2

:18:51.:18:57.

million lives were lost and long-term peace was never achieved,

:18:57.:19:01.

memories of savage fighting and brutal captivity. They used

:19:01.:19:04.

telephone cable which they put around the fingers, then they took

:19:04.:19:09.

it around your neck, up to a beam, pulled it down, stringing one foot

:19:09.:19:13.

and winding it around the other. In fact, they told me, should my leg

:19:13.:19:21.

give way, I had not been murdered, I had committed suicide. Korea is

:19:21.:19:24.

still a divided country, but the South has never forgotten the men

:19:24.:19:30.

who came from around the world and held the line. I believe it was

:19:30.:19:35.

freedom, for democracy, and it was for prosperity. The sacrifices by

:19:35.:19:41.

the British soldiers and generals have not been wasted in vain if you

:19:41.:19:46.

look at what Korea is today. For the old man on Parade, some for the last

:19:46.:19:56.
:19:56.:19:57.

time, that is reason enough to hold Labour leader Ed Miliband has

:19:57.:20:01.

received another warning from the unions about the financial impact of

:20:01.:20:07.

his planned changes to the links between Labour and the union

:20:08.:20:11.

movement. Len McCluskey of Unite has spelt out his concerns in a letter

:20:11.:20:15.

to some of his colleagues. Industry correspondent John Moylan is with

:20:15.:20:20.

me, what is he saying? Ed Miliband has said that he wants to change the

:20:20.:20:24.

relationship between the trade unions and Labour, and he did not

:20:24.:20:28.

want members to be automatically affiliated to Labour and

:20:28.:20:31.

automatically pay. He wanted them to make an active choice. In a letter

:20:31.:20:37.

to the executive Council of Unite, Len McCluskey has indicated there

:20:37.:20:42.

will be consequences of this. Unite currently pays �3 million per year

:20:42.:20:47.

to Labour. Len McCluskey says he thinks that could reduce by �3

:20:47.:20:51.

million, a massive reduction, but it echoes what we heard from the third

:20:51.:20:56.

biggest union, the GMB, which said that it thinks its affiliation fees

:20:56.:21:00.

of �2 million could reduce to just a few hundred thousand pounds. A

:21:00.:21:04.

senior Labour source has said, we know there will be a cost, but if it

:21:04.:21:08.

is a choice between money and doing the right thing, Ed Miliband wants

:21:08.:21:12.

to do the right thing. I think what we are hearing from some of the big

:21:12.:21:16.

unions is that these big, historic change could be very expensive for

:21:17.:21:23.

Labour. A court in Moscow has convicted a

:21:23.:21:28.

Russian lawyer of tax fraud four years after he died in police

:21:28.:21:30.

custody. Sergei Magnitsky was found guilty along side his former

:21:30.:21:35.

employer, the London-based financier. Opponents of Vladimir

:21:35.:21:37.

Putin Sadie Case exposes the depths of corruption within Russian

:21:37.:21:44.

establishment. -- say the case exposes.

:21:44.:21:49.

He has been dead nearly four years, but that has not stopped Russia

:21:49.:21:55.

putting Sergei Magnitsky on trial. Today the dog was empty again, like

:21:55.:22:00.

it has been every day of this bizarre court case, the defendant

:22:00.:22:05.

unable to defend themselves. His family and lawyers have boycotted

:22:05.:22:11.

the trial, claiming it was illegal, so the state had appointed a defence

:22:11.:22:16.

team. Here they are. When the verdict came, they did not seem too

:22:16.:22:24.

interested or at all surprised. The judge ruled that Mr Magnitsky was

:22:24.:22:29.

guilty of tax fraud. What has just happened in this courtroom is

:22:29.:22:33.

unprecedented in Russia. A man who died four years ago has just been

:22:33.:22:39.

convicted of economic crimes. Sergei Magnitsky's supporters say the case

:22:39.:22:44.

is like a dance on a dead man's grave. Sergei Magnitsky was a lawyer

:22:44.:22:50.

turned whistleblower who claimed he had uncovered a web of corruption.

:22:50.:22:55.

He alleged that police and tax officials had been stealing

:22:55.:23:00.

millions. But when he went public, he was the one arrested, and he died

:23:00.:23:06.

here, on remand. The Kremlin's own human rights Council says there is

:23:06.:23:10.

evidence he had been beaten to death. To critics of the Kremlin,

:23:10.:23:16.

his fate has become a symbol of the absence of the rule of law in

:23:16.:23:24.

Russia. The authorities reject that. Last year, Vladimir Putin said that

:23:24.:23:27.

Sergei Magnitsky was no human rights activist, he had simply been a

:23:27.:23:32.

lawyer working for a British hedge fund manager who was under suspicion

:23:32.:23:37.

for economic crimes. That manager was William Browder. The Moscow

:23:37.:23:41.

court convicted him of fraud as well, but right now he is in

:23:41.:23:45.

America, and he has no intention of serving the nine-year prison

:23:45.:23:50.

sentence he received today. This is effectively a criminal ageing. You

:23:50.:23:55.

have a young man who uncovered an enormous corruption scandal, the

:23:55.:24:00.

theft of $230 million. He exposed it, and instead of going after the

:24:00.:24:04.

people involved, they arrested him, tortured him and killed and then

:24:04.:24:10.

prosecuted. The court says that justice has been done, but putting a

:24:10.:24:14.

dead man in the dock and declaring him guilty, it is hard to argue that

:24:14.:24:22.

is a fair trial. Six Greenpeace activists have scaled

:24:22.:24:26.

the Shard building in central London and have been arrested on suspicion

:24:26.:24:29.

of aggravated trespass. The women said they wanted to send a message

:24:29.:24:33.

to the oil company Shell, which has offices nearby, to stop drilling in

:24:33.:24:38.

the Arctic. The public viewing platform was closed to visitors

:24:38.:24:43.

during the protest. Cricket, and a day of mixed fortunes

:24:43.:24:47.

for England in the first Ashes Test at Trent Bridge. They started well

:24:47.:24:53.

enough, taking a handful of wickets, but a 19-year-old, Australia's last

:24:53.:24:57.

man standing, stole the show, as Joe Wilson tells us.

:24:57.:25:00.

If you have never heard of Ashton Agar, don't feel bad, he was not

:25:00.:25:05.

even mentioned in the official programme. It was a debut that few

:25:05.:25:10.

foresaw and no-one will forget. It was going well for England, five

:25:10.:25:15.

wickets for James Anderson, and when Swann got hot and Senate, they were

:25:15.:25:21.

117-9, way behind England's first innings score. There was only a car,

:25:21.:25:25.

a 19-year-old number 11, only walloping Graeme Swann 46. This

:25:25.:25:30.

stature grew by the minute, the kind of swagger that lists a whole nation

:25:30.:25:34.

and grinds the England captain towards despair. No number 11 had

:25:34.:25:39.

ever scored more, two shots short of a century, he only needed one more

:25:39.:25:46.

hit. There it went, caught neatly by Graeme Swann. Watch 's mother in the

:25:46.:25:53.

green, he has done it, no, he has blown it. He helped Australia to 280

:25:53.:25:58.

all out, one over the England fans. I was surprised by the support I was

:25:58.:26:03.

getting from the whole crowd, really. They were very supportive,

:26:03.:26:06.

and yeah, there was a little bit of simply from them, it was nice to get

:26:06.:26:13.

98. England were soon two down, Jonathan Trott bemused to be given

:26:13.:26:16.

not out and then find the decision overruled. Not all bereaved plays

:26:16.:26:22.

were available, and Trott was adamant he had hit the ball. -- not

:26:22.:26:28.

all the TV replays. Pietersen and cook saw out the day, England 15

:26:28.:26:33.

runs ahead, but no doubt about the start, it is the price of fame that

:26:33.:26:37.

you can no longer slip away from the ground unnoticed. Ashton Agar has

:26:37.:26:41.
