:00:20. > :00:23.I just want them taken out. If I can get the money I will pay for
:00:23. > :00:29.them to be taken out. I am desperate to get them out because I

:01:10. > :01:14.Good evening. An urgent review into the risks associated with breast
:01:14. > :01:16.implants has been announced by the Government. The Health Secretary is
:01:16. > :01:20.concerned that the existing evidence about the potential
:01:20. > :01:23.dangers is not reliable. Around 40,000 women in Britain are
:01:23. > :01:27.believed to have had silicone implants fitted by a French company,
:01:27. > :01:34.which has been shut down by authorities in France. Here's our
:01:34. > :01:39.medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh. It's a week since the French
:01:39. > :01:43.Government recommended the removal of all PIP implants. Ministers here
:01:43. > :01:48.maintain that's not necessary, but now they're reviewing the safety
:01:48. > :01:54.data submitted by all those who fitted the implants. If there are
:01:54. > :01:58.any safety concerns we will act in order to provide them with whatever
:01:58. > :02:03.recommend stkeu required. But teuplt I want to reiterate we don't
:02:03. > :02:07.have evidence which would justify any routine removal of these breast
:02:07. > :02:12.implants and don't have evidence of safety concerns.
:02:12. > :02:16.The PIP implants were banned last year as they contain non-medical
:02:16. > :02:20.grade silicone. Around 40,000 British women have the implants,
:02:20. > :02:26.95% of the surgery was done in private clinics. The French say the
:02:26. > :02:30.implants have a 5% rupture rate. Whereas in the UK, it's 1%, similar
:02:30. > :02:35.to other brands. But now conflicting evidence from a private
:02:35. > :02:39.health firm suggests the rupture rate here may be higher, too.
:02:39. > :02:43.Jane Parry from Liverpool is worried. Although she's not had
:02:43. > :02:48.health problems since having the PIP implants fitted, she wants them
:02:48. > :02:50.out. I am shocked. Every day you are reading more stuff there's more
:02:50. > :02:55.coming out, people are coming forward. You are bumping into
:02:55. > :03:00.people you didn't know had implants and they're worried. Christmas has
:03:00. > :03:04.not been Christmas for thus year. French and British experts stress
:03:05. > :03:09.there is no increased breast cancer risk from the PIP implants. But if
:03:09. > :03:12.the review finds they are more likely to rupture, it's not clear
:03:12. > :03:21.whether Ministers here will follow the French lead and offer to pay
:03:21. > :03:24.for their removal. In Syria, there are the first signs
:03:24. > :03:27.of disagreement among the Arab monitors in the country assessing
:03:27. > :03:30.the violence there. On the fifth day of their mission, the group's
:03:30. > :03:32.leader has apparently contradicted claims, by one of his own observers,
:03:32. > :03:38.that he'd seen government snipers on roof-tops. Jon Donnison has been
:03:38. > :03:42.monitoring the situation from Beirut.
:03:43. > :03:47.The Arab League observers are in demand. But five days into their
:03:47. > :03:54.mission to protect civilians and try and find out what's happening,
:03:54. > :03:56.their role is becoming increasingly controversial. In the southern town
:03:56. > :04:05.of Deraa yesterday one observer seemed to criticise the Government
:04:05. > :04:08.and its use of roof-top snipers. Snipers, we saw them with our own
:04:08. > :04:12.eyes, we call on the authorities to remove them immediately and we will
:04:12. > :04:17.contact the Arab League immediately if they do not comply within 24
:04:18. > :04:22.hours. He is then interrupted by a man saying there are snipers in
:04:22. > :04:27.their homes, to which he replies:. You are telling me there are
:04:27. > :04:32.snipers and I am telling you that I seen the snipers with my own eyes,
:04:32. > :04:38.with my own eyes. But today in an interview with BBC radio the man
:04:39. > :04:44.who is leading the observer mission gave a different version of events.
:04:44. > :04:48.This man he said if he see by his eyes those snipers he will report
:04:48. > :04:55.immediately and he will tell the Government, Syrian Government, but
:04:55. > :05:01.he didn't see. He said that if he, if he. So it is just - it is not
:05:01. > :05:04.correct in the media. Some have called him the world's most human
:05:04. > :05:10.rights observer. He is already controversial. He is a staunch
:05:10. > :05:14.loyalist of the Sudanese President, a man who is wanted by the
:05:15. > :05:20.International Criminal Court for genocide and crimes against
:05:20. > :05:23.humanity. Meanwhile, Syrian state television has been hailing the
:05:23. > :05:29.observers' work, showing all the places they've been given access to
:05:29. > :05:33.go. Such words from the head of the observers will further anger
:05:33. > :05:39.opposition groups who believe the Arab League team is favouring the
:05:39. > :05:43.Syrian Government. But all the while the crackdown
:05:43. > :05:49.continues. These pictures, which we cannot verify, are in the northern
:05:49. > :05:59.city of Idlib. Again, there were casualties. As the year draws to a
:05:59. > :06:01.close, there's no end in sight to the violence in Syria.
:06:01. > :06:04.A soldier from 1st Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment, has been killed
:06:04. > :06:12.in an explosion in Afghanistan. It happened while he was on foot
:06:12. > :06:15.patrol yesterday in Helmand Province. His family have been told.
:06:15. > :06:17.Police have started using lie detectors to help them decide which
:06:17. > :06:19.suspects to investigate. A pilot scheme has been run and the
:06:19. > :06:22.Association of Chief Police Officers, which represents forces
:06:22. > :06:27.in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, says the technology could
:06:28. > :06:32.become a useful tool. Sarah Campbell reports.
:06:32. > :06:36.Are you worried about any of the questions...
:06:36. > :06:39.Routinely used by police in the US and on British daytime talk shows,
:06:39. > :06:43.lie detectors are increasing interest to the criminal justice
:06:43. > :06:48.system. It can help investigations because if the police have six
:06:48. > :06:52.suspects, say and and they boy graph them and -- polygraph them,
:06:52. > :06:55.they can hone in on one person, they they have the confidence to
:06:55. > :07:00.think this person is showing deception and the likelihood is
:07:00. > :07:03.this is the person who committed the crime. The way the body reacts
:07:03. > :07:07.through breathing, heart rate and sweating all indicate whether a sly
:07:07. > :07:12.being told. -- whether a lie is being told. Nothing is 100% but any
:07:12. > :07:14.result that I give I am confident is the right result. The results
:07:14. > :07:20.are currently inadmissible in court, but Hertfordshire Police have been
:07:20. > :07:25.using the tests on suspected sex offenders. In a statement they say:
:07:25. > :07:29.Polygraph testing provides us with an additional tool and has cut down
:07:29. > :07:31.investigative time significantly leading to a more efficient process
:07:31. > :07:35.often helping to identify additional offences. A further
:07:35. > :07:39.trial in the Midlands has looked at how testing can help monitor those
:07:39. > :07:44.on parole. Over the past two and a half years hundreds of convicted
:07:44. > :07:48.sex offenders have been compelled to undergo lie detector tests as
:07:48. > :07:53.part of a pilot scheme. Those results are currently being
:07:53. > :07:56.evaluated. The Association of Chief Police
:07:56. > :07:59.Officers agrees lie detectors can potentially help combat crime but
:07:59. > :08:07.it is up to individual police forces to decide whether or not to
:08:07. > :08:10.use them. Police have arrested three men - a
:08:10. > :08:12.20-year-old, and two 16-year-olds - on suspicion of murdering a
:08:12. > :08:16.teenager in Oxford Street in London. 18-year-old Seydou Diarrasouba was
:08:16. > :08:21.stabbed in the heart after a fight broke out at a sports shop on
:08:21. > :08:23.Boxing Day. Eleven people have already been arrested.
:08:23. > :08:26.An 18-year-old man has been remanded in custody charged with
:08:26. > :08:29.murdering a teenage babysitter. Catherine Wynter had been looking
:08:29. > :08:33.after her nephew and niece in Borehamwood on Boxing Day when she
:08:33. > :08:39.was stabbed. Tony Bushby will appear at St Albans Crown Court on
:08:39. > :08:42.Wednesday. Leading figures from the world of
:08:42. > :08:44.entertainment and sport are among those recognised in the Queen's New
:08:44. > :08:51.Year Honours list. This year the list also includes people who've
:08:51. > :08:55.turned a corner in their lives. Lizo Mzimba has more. The BAFTA-
:08:55. > :08:59.winning actress Helena Bonham Carter can now add a new
:08:59. > :09:07.achievement to her accomplishments, after being appointed CBE. She said
:09:07. > :09:11.she was thrilled, though not sure that she deserved it.
:09:11. > :09:17.Ronnie Corbett's been delighting audiences for half a century. He's
:09:17. > :09:23.also become a CBE. US Open-winning golfer Rory McIlroy
:09:23. > :09:29.becomes an MBE and an OBE goes to Darren Clarke, winner of the
:09:29. > :09:33.British Open. It's sinking in what I managed to achieve, but the OBE
:09:33. > :09:36.is a massive honour for me and identify privileged to be awarded
:09:36. > :09:43.the honour. Also recognised are people who have taken their lives
:09:43. > :09:46.in a new direction. Gerald Ronson was jailed in 1990 for his parts in
:09:46. > :09:51.the Guinness share scandal. He's now become a CBE for his charity
:09:51. > :09:55.work since his release. Christopher Preddie is also someone
:09:55. > :10:00.who's turned his life around. As a teenager he was involved with gangs
:10:00. > :10:05.and drugs. But, for the last eight years, he's devoted his time to
:10:05. > :10:09.youth work and reducing crime. He's become an OBE. I think from the
:10:09. > :10:13.background I have come from and a lot of struggles I had, it's an
:10:13. > :10:17.honour to be in such a great award and the fact that I got honoured
:10:17. > :10:21.and now have an OBE is fantastic and any kid can now see that hard
:10:21. > :10:26.work does pay off. He is typical of most of the names on this year's
:10:26. > :10:35.list. People not in the public eye, who are being honoured for making a
:10:35. > :10:38.significant contribution to their community.
:10:38. > :10:40.The Football Association have published a report tonight into the
:10:40. > :10:43.reasons why they banned the Liverpool player, Luis Suarez, for
:10:43. > :10:46.eight matches after claims he racially abused the Manchester
:10:46. > :10:55.United defender, Patrice Evra. With me here is our sports correspondent,
:10:55. > :10:59.Joe Wilson. A very long report this, what is in it. These are findings
:10:59. > :11:02.set up around the confrontation. It looked at TV footage which has
:11:02. > :11:08.never been broadcast but the images of that confrontation are certainly
:11:08. > :11:12.well known by now and essentially the Commission found it supported
:11:12. > :11:20.Evra's version of events. It rejected Suarez's argument that he
:11:20. > :11:25.used the word negro to Evra in a friendly way, in. He says he used
:11:26. > :11:28.that word seven times in the space of two minutes to Evra and says
:11:28. > :11:32.Suarez knew or should have known the use of that language in this
:11:32. > :11:36.country is unacceptable. Liverpool are digesting that long report.
:11:36. > :11:40.They have 14 days to decide whether to appeal. But I think the scale of
:11:40. > :11:44.the report just reinforces that this is the most important,
:11:44. > :11:50.certainly the most complex case of its kind that English football has
:11:50. > :11:53.ever had to deal with. Thank you very much.
:11:53. > :11:56.Staying with football and Match of the Day follows this programme. So,
:11:56. > :11:58.if you don't want to know the results from today's Premier League
:11:58. > :12:01.matches, Look away now. We start at Old Traford, where
:12:01. > :12:08.Manchester United suffered a shock 3-2 home defeat against bottom club
:12:08. > :12:11.Blackburn. Sir Alex Ferguson, who celebrated his 70th birthday today,
:12:11. > :12:14.described the result as a disaster. Chelsea also suffered a surprise 3-
:12:14. > :12:17.1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa and were replaced in fourth
:12:17. > :12:21.place by Arsenal, who beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0 with Robin Van
:12:21. > :12:25.Persie getting his 17th league goal of the season.
:12:25. > :12:32.Third-placed Tottenham were held by Swansea. And, there were also draws
:12:32. > :12:34.between Bolton and Wolves, Norwich and Fulham, and Stoke and Wigan.
:12:34. > :12:38.Harlequins have stretched their lead at the top of rugby's Aviva
:12:38. > :12:40.Premiership with a 9-11 win over Exeter. Quins relied on the boot of
:12:40. > :12:43.stand-in fly-half Rory Clegg, whose penalty with just three minutes of
:12:43. > :12:51.time remaining denied the chiefs what would have been a shock
:12:51. > :12:54.victory. Andy Murray has appointed the
:12:54. > :12:57.former World tennis number one, Ivan Lendl, as his new, full-time
:12:57. > :13:03.coach. Czech-born Lendl, who won eight Grand Slams, will start work
:13:03. > :13:06.with Murray - who hasn't had a coach since March - immediately.
:13:06. > :13:09.Celebrations to mark the start of 2012 are well under way all around
:13:09. > :13:12.the world. Here, thousands of people will pack into Edinburgh
:13:12. > :13:15.city centre for the traditional Hogmanay street party. In London,
:13:15. > :13:22.up to a quarter of million people, are expected to watch the fireworks
:13:23. > :13:27.along the Thames. Phil Bodmer is there.
:13:27. > :13:34.Yes, you are right, the London Eye is the star attraction tonight for
:13:34. > :13:42.the celebrations here in the capital. Elsewhere across the world,
:13:42. > :13:46.of course, 2012 has already begun. Possibly the world's tallest
:13:46. > :13:53.fireworks display, fired from the world's tallest building. Dubai saw
:13:53. > :13:57.in the new year with a spectacular display. In London, with less than
:13:57. > :14:01.two hours to go, thousands are lining the embankment in
:14:01. > :14:06.anticipation of the arrival of 2012, in what promises to be one of the
:14:06. > :14:10.capital's most significant years. Tonight is absolutely vital. It's
:14:10. > :14:13.the kickoff to our summer of celebrations next year with the
:14:13. > :14:16.Jubilee and the Olympics and tonight we are going to show the
:14:16. > :14:20.world how we party. Earlier in the day Auckland in New Zealand was
:14:20. > :14:24.among the first cities to usher in the new year.
:14:24. > :14:29.In Australia, Sydney's famous bridge was setting for events down
:14:29. > :14:33.under. This year's theme being a a time to dream as an estimated one
:14:33. > :14:39.and a half million people lined the foreshore.
:14:39. > :14:42.And in Beijing no fireworks, but a breathtaking light show.
:14:42. > :14:49.Back home, even the rain unlikely to dampen the Hogmanay spirit in
:14:49. > :14:53.Edinburgh. On the banks of the River Thames,
:14:54. > :14:57.determined spectators took up the best pitches early. I was born in
:14:57. > :15:00.London and the last time I was here I was ten. I thought it was about
:15:00. > :15:05.time I came to look at the fireworks. We are here tonight to
:15:05. > :15:09.see the fireworks and the London Eye and to enjoy the atmosphere.
:15:09. > :15:15.Organisers are hoping up to a quarter of a million people will be
:15:15. > :15:19.able to enjoy a night they promise will live long in the memory.
:15:19. > :15:23.It seems like those 250,000 people have already arrived, as you can
:15:23. > :15:26.see it's packed here along the embankment. The advice from the
:15:26. > :15:30.police tonight is if you are not already here, please stay at home
