:00:24. > :00:28.Good afternoon. The Health Secretary, has ordered

:00:28. > :00:33.an urgent review of the safety of breast implants which have been

:00:33. > :00:38.made by the French company PIP. Andrew Lansley said he is unhappy

:00:38. > :00:43.and concerned about the quality of the data provided by some cosmetic

:00:43. > :00:47.surgeons. The review is to report next week, he insisted that there

:00:48. > :00:55.is no evidence to justify the removal of the implants. Our

:00:55. > :00:59.Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.

:00:59. > :01:04.PIP implants do not pose a breast cancer risk, but authorities in

:01:04. > :01:10.Paris recommended that women have them removed as they have a high

:01:10. > :01:15.rupture rate and the silicone could cause inflammation. The PIP

:01:15. > :01:19.implants were banned as they contain a non-medical grade of

:01:19. > :01:25.silicone. 40,000 British women have the implants. 95% of the operations

:01:25. > :01:28.were done in the private sector. The medical watchdog here says that

:01:29. > :01:32.the rupture rates were no higher than with other implants, but the

:01:32. > :01:36.Health Secretary has received new evidence from a large private

:01:36. > :01:40.provider. I'm unhappy with the fact that a

:01:40. > :01:43.private provider previously had reported data and now says that

:01:43. > :01:47.they have data that was not disclosed to the regulator. That is

:01:47. > :01:50.something that makes me cross, something that I want to be sure

:01:50. > :01:54.that the expert group and others get to the bottom of what this data

:01:54. > :02:00.is and what it means. They told us about it yesterday.

:02:00. > :02:04.The Health Secretary has asked an expert group to review the safety

:02:04. > :02:08.data from here and overseas to report next week. He stressed that

:02:08. > :02:11.the Government's position is unchanged, that there is no need

:02:11. > :02:17.for the route yeen removal of implants.

:02:17. > :02:22.A soldier from the Yorkshire Regiment has been killed by a

:02:22. > :02:26.device in Afghanistan. He was on foot patrol in the Helmand province.

:02:26. > :02:30.His family have been told. It's emerged that the police have

:02:31. > :02:36.begun to use lie detectors to help them to decide which suspects to

:02:36. > :02:41.investigate. Hertfordshire Police has been running a pilot scheme in

:02:41. > :02:45.which known sex offenders were questioned about alleged crimes, it

:02:45. > :02:51.has said that the technology could be a useful tool for officers

:02:51. > :02:59.across the UK. A man is appearing in court charged with the murder of
