:00:12. > :00:15.A new inquiry in the Jimmy Savile scandal, over the decision to give

:00:16. > :00:21.him a senior role at Broadmoor Hospital in the 1980s. Former

:00:21. > :00:25.patients say Savile abused them after he was given keys to the

:00:25. > :00:29.institution. Protests against poverty. The IMF urges world

:01:00. > :01:04.final journey as it heads for Good evening. The Department of

:01:04. > :01:09.Health is to investigate its decision to appoint Jimmy Savile as

:01:09. > :01:12.head of a taskforce overseeing Broadmoor Hospital in the late

:01:12. > :01:15.1980s. Former patients say they were assaulted by the presenter

:01:15. > :01:19.after he was given the keys to the institution. The police say they

:01:19. > :01:26.are now following more than 300 lines of inquiry into allegations

:01:26. > :01:30.of sexual abuse by the television presenter over several decades.

:01:30. > :01:36.Jimmy Savile was a volunteer at Broadmoor for years, starting

:01:36. > :01:40.probably in the late 1960s. In a television documentary he spoke of

:01:40. > :01:45.the work he did with the hospital's patients, including some of

:01:45. > :01:51.Britain's most notorious criminals. I found I had great rapport with

:01:51. > :01:55.the patients down there. We found an instinctive friendship,

:01:55. > :02:00.regardless of what they'd done, because there comes a time when you

:02:00. > :02:05.have to forget what somebody's done and get on with the job of trying

:02:05. > :02:09.to fix them back up, or repairing the damage to their minds that

:02:09. > :02:13.caused them to do these dreadful things in the first place. In 1988,

:02:13. > :02:17.when the hospital's management team was suspended, Savile was asked to

:02:17. > :02:19.head up a taskforce to run the place for a time. Today the

:02:19. > :02:29.Department of Health announced an investigation. In a statement it

:02:29. > :02:36.

:02:36. > :02:39.Savile's reputation as a charity fundraiser protected him from

:02:39. > :02:48.scrutiny. One former Broadmoor patient claims to have been

:02:48. > :02:52.molested by him on one of his wards. He put his hands up my night dress

:02:52. > :02:56.and sexually assaulted me. There was nothing I could because of

:02:56. > :03:01.where I was twofplt other patients witnessed. It we could do nothing.

:03:01. > :03:05.If we stood up and said, you know, look what he's doing, they would

:03:05. > :03:08.have punished us and not believed us. Many of the institutions with

:03:08. > :03:14.which Jimmy Savile was connected, including the BBC, could now face

:03:14. > :03:17.legal claims for compensation from his victims despite the years that

:03:17. > :03:21.have elapsed. There have been plenty of cases in recent years,

:03:21. > :03:27.cases against the Catholic Church, against schools and children's

:03:27. > :03:30.homes. What the compensation would be for would be for their

:03:30. > :03:35.psychiatric injury. One newspaper today claims ChildLine founder

:03:35. > :03:40.Esther Rantzen was alerted to his activities. She says she has no

:03:40. > :03:44.memory of that, though there were rumours. I think Fleet Street knew

:03:44. > :03:49.about it. I'm told the NHS knew about it. I think the music

:03:49. > :03:54.industry knew about it. When I say "knew", they heard rumours. Real

:03:54. > :03:59.knowledge is based on disclosure by a child or by a witness who had

:03:59. > :04:05.seen something. At Broadmoor, where ITV once filmed Jimmy Savile in his

:04:06. > :04:10.office, it seems the rumours went unregarded by those responsible.

:04:10. > :04:14.The Ministry of Defence is veging claims tonight that senior retired

:04:14. > :04:18.military officials, including the former commander of the Navy,

:04:18. > :04:21.offered to influence MPs and civil servants on behalf of arms

:04:21. > :04:27.companies. Offers that were apparently in some cases in breach

:04:27. > :04:30.of Whitehall rules. Chris mason is here. Tell us more? This is an

:04:30. > :04:35.investigation the Sunday Times is publishing tomorrow on the basis of

:04:35. > :04:38.a number of videos they have recorded undercover of a number of

:04:38. > :04:43.former senior Ministry of Defence officials. In those videos, we

:04:43. > :04:48.haven't seen them all, they push these former senior heads of the

:04:48. > :04:52.Army and Navy and other parts of the military, to see if they would

:04:52. > :04:56.be of use to this lobbying company to be hired to see if their access

:04:56. > :05:04.would be something that was for hire. I have seen one of the videos

:05:04. > :05:10.in which the former Commander-in- Chief of the Royal Navy is filmed.

:05:10. > :05:15.He says "I know all of the ministers. I have some restrictions.

:05:15. > :05:22.Two years after leaving I am not meant to lobby ministers, but I can

:05:22. > :05:25.see them. ." He the context of this is that former members of the

:05:25. > :05:29.Ministry of Defence on standing down have to wait for two years.

:05:29. > :05:31.There is a two year period before they are able to work in the

:05:31. > :05:35.private sector. What is the Ministry of Defence saying about it

:05:35. > :05:41.now? We are a statement from the Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond.

:05:41. > :05:45.They will look into this. Philip Hammond in the statement said says

:05:45. > :05:50.that equipment is procured in the interests of the armed forces.

:05:50. > :05:55.Former ministers have no influence over what MoD contracts are awarded.

:05:55. > :05:59.The context is an ongoing concern at Westminster about lobbying. Two

:05:59. > :06:04.years ago David Cameron said he feared lobbying would be the next

:06:04. > :06:06.big scandal to come to Westminster. A big issue for the previous

:06:06. > :06:10.governments, former Labour ministers were involved in a

:06:10. > :06:15.similar sting a couple of months ago. The problem for the political

:06:15. > :06:20.classes, regardless of whether rules are broken, this just doesn't

:06:20. > :06:24.look good. Thank you. The head of the International Monetary Fund has

:06:24. > :06:27.urged world leaders to take immediate bold action to stimulate

:06:27. > :06:30.growth. Christine Lagarde warned that the global economy was

:06:30. > :06:34.decelerating and said both Europe and the United States were taking

:06:34. > :06:37.too long to come up with solutions to their debt problems. The call

:06:37. > :06:45.came on the final day of the meeting of the International

:06:45. > :06:48.Monetary Fund Android finance ministers in Tokyo. Even the anti-

:06:48. > :06:53.globalisation protesters seemed to be suffering from the world

:06:53. > :07:01.economic downturn. The handful that turned out today seemed lacking in

:07:01. > :07:05.energy. A bit like the world economy. As she closed the annual

:07:05. > :07:11.IMF meeting today, Christine Lagarde asked for governments to

:07:11. > :07:15.act now to create jobs. You have to know that, as part of my job, I

:07:15. > :07:21.have to understand what we need to do and I have to have some views

:07:21. > :07:25.and make recommendations as to what the members can do in order to

:07:25. > :07:33.improve the overall economic situations, consolidate recovery

:07:33. > :07:37.and create jobs. Lag laling lag said the economic recovery is under

:07:37. > :07:41.threat from three directions. The eurozone, reforms are being held up

:07:41. > :07:49.by opposition from the street and the complexity of getting 17

:07:49. > :07:52.countries to act together. Secondly, from America. The election means

:07:52. > :07:58.Washington is distracted and is doing nothing to deal with

:07:58. > :08:02.America's huge public debt. That is creating uncertainty. Finally, from

:08:02. > :08:07.countries like China and Brazil, until this year their economies

:08:07. > :08:11.were still the engine of world growth, now they too are slowing.

:08:11. > :08:16.The top Chinese officials didn't even both tore turn up. There have

:08:16. > :08:23.been no new big ideas. There is a real sense of urgent si from here

:08:23. > :08:28.that governments around the world need to do more. Christine Lagarde

:08:28. > :08:32.is so worried about the stauling world recovery she thinks

:08:32. > :08:37.governments should slow down on austerity if it's killing jobs and

:08:37. > :08:47.growth. George Osborne and the German Finance Minister disagree.

:08:47. > :08:48.

:08:48. > :08:51.They say sticking to austerity and tough reforms is the only way. The

:08:51. > :08:54.The senior Labour backbench MP Sir Stuart Bell has died. He was 74 and

:08:54. > :08:58.had been suffering from pancreatic cancer. He was elected to represent

:08:58. > :09:04.Middlesborough in 193 and went on to hold the seat through seven

:09:04. > :09:06.general elections. He was knighted in 2004 for his services to

:09:06. > :09:11.Parliament. Church leaders are launching a campaign which they

:09:11. > :09:15.hope will inspire a million more black voters to go to the polls in

:09:15. > :09:18.the next general election. Churches with majority black Kong agree

:09:18. > :09:26.gaitions are growing in size and influence. Leaders say they are

:09:26. > :09:36.confident of meeting the target in time to affect the outcome in

:09:36. > :09:37.

:09:37. > :09:41.manymargina constituencies by 2015. Inner city Birmingham is blighted

:09:41. > :09:44.by unemployment, poverty and child but New Testament Church of God is

:09:44. > :09:50.crowded and buzzing with energy. New Testament Church of God leaders

:09:50. > :09:57.say they can translate the power of faith into political influence.

:09:57. > :10:01.your rights or use your privilege, that means vote. Some four in ten

:10:01. > :10:05.black people are not even registered to vote. For many who

:10:05. > :10:10.are, voting seems pointless. Always seems nothing changes, no matter

:10:10. > :10:18.who you vote for. I don't see the point in it. Politicians and

:10:18. > :10:25.community leaders have struggled to get black people to use their vote.

:10:25. > :10:30.Now they believe they have found a way of making the black vote count.

:10:30. > :10:35.Political activists claim that black and ethnic minority vote

:10:35. > :10:39.could swing the vote in 100 of the most marginal constituencies. Some

:10:39. > :10:42.people doubt that black voters could make that difference? Most of

:10:43. > :10:46.the constituencies which are marginal between two parties are

:10:46. > :10:54.mostly constituencies with very small black populations. That said,

:10:54. > :10:58.there are some places in London where it could make a difference.

:10:58. > :11:02.One non-party campaign group claims discrimination against black people

:11:02. > :11:07.in housing, jobs and education is built into the economic and social

:11:07. > :11:12.system. He says black Britons need to learn from the way Martin Luther

:11:12. > :11:21.King empowered black Americans. are doing the same here with the

:11:21. > :11:30.faith groups, with the street pastors and the community groups to

:11:30. > :11:33.demand justice, demand opportunity. We want to play our role. In black

:11:33. > :11:36.communities wrestling with deprivation churches have been a

:11:36. > :11:46.success story. They insist their energy can bring black people to

:11:46. > :11:51.

:11:51. > :11:54.the ballot box and change their lives. Now, the sport. It's been

:11:54. > :11:58.another positive weekend for British tennis. It could get even

:11:58. > :12:02.better. Starting with the men's game. Andy Murray will face Novak

:12:02. > :12:08.Djokovic in the final of the Shanghai Masters tomorrow. Murray

:12:08. > :12:11.beat the world number one Roger Federer 6-4, 6-4 in today's semi-

:12:11. > :12:17.final. The smallest of margins can be the difference between winning

:12:17. > :12:21.and losing at this level, just ask Andy Murray, often mystified by

:12:21. > :12:24.Roger Federer in the past. That appears to be changing. A break in

:12:24. > :12:28.the first game fuelled his confidence. When Federer hit three

:12:28. > :12:33.double faults in a row, to gift wrap the first set, everyone

:12:33. > :12:40.started to believe. Murray has clearly got under the world number

:12:40. > :12:46.one's skin. Constantly under pressure, Federer had no answer to

:12:46. > :12:51.his power and precision. Two rain delays didn't affect Murray, he

:12:51. > :13:00.closed out the match. In this form a third Shanghai Masters title in

:13:00. > :13:03.succession almost looked inevitable. Murray must not want this year to

:13:03. > :13:07.end. Heather Watson is through to her first WTA Final at the Japan

:13:07. > :13:10.Open. She is also in the doubles final. Theo Walcott will miss

:13:10. > :13:17.England's World Cup qualifying match against Poland on Tuesday. He

:13:17. > :13:23.injured his chest in a collision with San Marino's goalkeeper during

:13:23. > :13:33.last night's 5-0 win. England are currently top of their group after

:13:33. > :13:41.

:13:41. > :13:49.three games. The Heineken Cup kicked off this weekend weekend.

:13:49. > :13:54.Saracens thrashed Edinburgh 45-0 and Connaught beat Zebrey19-10. The

:13:54. > :14:00.scores were level at half time, Quinns restored their energy levels

:14:00. > :14:06.over the break. They ran three tries to secure a bonus point.

:14:06. > :14:10.Things were far closer in Paris. The hosts were given hospitality by

:14:10. > :14:15.the visitors, Munster. Add in French footballing skills and the

:14:15. > :14:24.Irish side were behind. The Munster men went slipping and sliding

:14:25. > :14:34.through late on to score a decisive try. How important might that be

:14:35. > :14:43.

:14:43. > :14:46.for Munsters chances. Scarlet's trip wasn't any more productive.

:14:46. > :14:54.John stand sction tonne was needed to rescue his team. Exeter had a

:14:54. > :15:03.chance at a point. A last-minute 48 meter penalty would have been some

:15:03. > :15:07.story line. Heineken Cup reality is a different matter. Audley

:15:07. > :15:13.Harrison's professional boxing career looks to be over after he

:15:13. > :15:21.was knocked out in the first round of his British and Commonwealth

:15:21. > :15:28.heavyweight title fight with fellow Britton David Price. Harman said if

:15:28. > :15:32.he lost tonight he would consider retiring. Endeavour has made its

:15:32. > :15:39.final journey, being driven through the streets of Los Angeles on the

:15:39. > :15:45.back of a 160-wheel lorry to a museum where it will go on display.

:15:45. > :15:50.Boldly or cautiously it has never gone here before. Squeezing through

:15:50. > :15:58.the streets of Los Angeles, it's one final mission after 299 days in

:15:58. > :16:02.space was a more down-to-earth trip to retirement at ical forn why's

:16:02. > :16:08.Science Museum. What a reaction? Amazing. Imagine this in the sky.

:16:08. > :16:11.Now, I have it in my neighbourhood. It's beautiful. It's amazing. It is

:16:12. > :16:16.giving everybody a chance to see something they would never see.

:16:17. > :16:21.Fantastic. It's history in the making. I'm glad that my kids are

:16:21. > :16:26.part of this history. Endeavour arrived in Los Angeles last month

:16:26. > :16:31.with a final fly-past. Most of the shuttle was built in California, so

:16:31. > :16:36.this really is a homecoming. They had to cut down 400 trees to clear

:16:36. > :16:41.the route, to lift power lines and lower traffic lights. It's an

:16:41. > :16:45.impressive way to bow out, the end of a generation of man space travel.

:16:45. > :16:49.The immediate future for American aust row noughts is commercial

:16:49. > :16:54.space taxis or hitching a ride on a Russian rocket. There is promise of

:16:54. > :16:59.deep space missions maybe to Mars, but money is short. It's not a

:16:59. > :17:04.priority. It's take an year to plan this move, it's a great excuse for

:17:04. > :17:10.people to celebrate such an important piece of American space

:17:10. > :17:15.history. The main news. The Department of Health is to

:17:15. > :17:17.investigate it is decision to appoint Jimmy Savile as head of a

:17:17. > :17:20.taskforce overseeing Broadmoor Hospital in the late 1980s

:17:20. > :17:24.following allegations there of sexual abuse. You can see more on

:17:24. > :17:34.all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel. From me and the team

:17:34. > :17:36.

:17:36. > :17:42.Tomorrow could be the dryer of the weekend for many of you, fewer

:17:42. > :17:48.showers are in the forecast. It could be a chilly start to the day,

:17:48. > :17:54.especially in gales -- England and Wales. We will keep showers most of

:17:54. > :18:00.the coasts through the night. For Northern Ireland some longer spells

:18:00. > :18:03.of rain. Thicker cloud to Scotland should keep temperatures up. For

:18:03. > :18:11.the clearer skies for England and Wales not only will the fog become

:18:11. > :18:15.a problem, there will be a frost as well. A crisp start for many on

:18:15. > :18:18.Sunday morning. There will be sunshine overhead for some. Western

:18:18. > :18:24.parts of Wales overnight showers will continue into the morning.

:18:24. > :18:30.Thick fog to eastern parts of Wales, Midlands and into northern England.

:18:30. > :18:34.A grey start to some in the south- east. A damp start too in Northern

:18:34. > :18:39.Ireland, the rain will be easing off. Scotland, after some cloudy

:18:39. > :18:43.days, it is looking brighter. The best of the sunshine to the west.

:18:43. > :18:47.We will see showers in the east, brightness in between. The eastern
