:00:00. > :00:00.December. That's all in Sportsday in 15
:00:00. > :00:18.minutes' time after the Papers. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead
:00:19. > :00:21.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Angela
:00:22. > :00:23.Knight, chief executive of Energy UK, and John Rentoul, chief
:00:24. > :00:32.political commentator for the Independent on Sunday. Thank you
:00:33. > :00:35.both for joining us this evening. The Telegraph leads with news that
:00:36. > :00:37.many men suffering from prostrate cancer are being given misleading
:00:38. > :00:43.assessment, leading them to underestimate the severity of their
:00:44. > :00:46.tumours. The Costa del Sol murder
:00:47. > :00:49.investigations, the Mirror says that the woman wanted in connection with
:00:50. > :00:57.the death of a British business man is carrying his unborn child.
:00:58. > :01:00.Air pollution in the Metro, the paper says that tens of thousands of
:01:01. > :01:04.deaths come as a direct result of what it says is breathing
:01:05. > :01:07.difficulties. More news on the former Commons
:01:08. > :01:11.Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans' case in the Guardian. The paper says the
:01:12. > :01:16.Conservative Party and the CPS are at war after the MP was cleared of
:01:17. > :01:20.rape. The Evans case is also on the front
:01:21. > :01:24.of the I, with the MP saying his life would not be the same following
:01:25. > :01:27.the trial. And on the front of the Times, which says his acquittal had
:01:28. > :01:38.put the spotlight on the CPS and how they choose to peruse high`profile
:01:39. > :01:41.cases. The Scotsman says the SNP is going to empty its coppers in the
:01:42. > :01:49.run`up to the Scottish vote on independence. `` coffers. The Mail
:01:50. > :01:53.has more claims of sexual harassment in the House of Commons. Lots of
:01:54. > :01:57.different stories on the front pages, we will start at the
:01:58. > :02:03.Guardian, that story about the Conservatives and the CPS Adam
:02:04. > :02:18.Walker as Nigel Evans is cleared of those allegations. `` at war. It has
:02:19. > :02:24.been the big story in Westminster, and a lot of people are very puzzled
:02:25. > :02:26.by this case, because even though we have not heard all the legal
:02:27. > :02:32.arguments and you cannot be in court all the time, then never did seem to
:02:33. > :02:36.be a very strong case against Nigel Evans, and a lot of his friends in
:02:37. > :02:41.the Parliamentary party are very annoyed this was brought in the
:02:42. > :02:48.first place. So puzzled the case was brought the evidence did not seem to
:02:49. > :02:50.be very strong when it got going? We do not know what might have been
:02:51. > :02:54.eliminated at an earlier stage and we do not know about it, but the
:02:55. > :02:59.case as it ended up being presented to the court seemed pretty weak, so
:03:00. > :03:03.a lot of Nigel Evans' supporters are asking why the CPS ever thought that
:03:04. > :03:10.they could possibly secure a conviction. Angela, the CPS in the
:03:11. > :03:14.dock over this and other stories. First of all, Nigel must have been
:03:15. > :03:18.through an absolutely terrible period of time, and all his life
:03:19. > :03:23.been rolled out in the courts, and it must have been absolutely awful.
:03:24. > :03:28.Certainly, as one watched it, what did you see? You saw people coming
:03:29. > :03:31.in and giving evidence, and even though they were apparently called
:03:32. > :03:36.on the other side, they were saying, well, no, he's a good guy,
:03:37. > :03:40.it was not like that. Somebody in that position, and there have been a
:03:41. > :03:45.few before who have had all their private life out, and of course
:03:46. > :03:48.there has been a focus on it, and then they have been cleared, they
:03:49. > :03:52.have had a terrible time. Somewhere along the line, is not just a
:03:53. > :03:58.question of this particular issue, but this is one of a number of
:03:59. > :04:02.cases. What is prosecuted, how, what is the evidence brought forward for
:04:03. > :04:07.consideration as to what cases go`ahead, surely that is where the
:04:08. > :04:11.focus must lie in future. His description, hell, I would imagine
:04:12. > :04:16.from what you're saying, you understand it. I should think it
:04:17. > :04:21.must be awful! Imagine if it was one of us, for whatever it might be that
:04:22. > :04:26.we had done, and not only were we in court, but what was happening was in
:04:27. > :04:29.court was on the television, in the paper, things you might not have
:04:30. > :04:33.wanted to tell your parents or children, your friends. It all comes
:04:34. > :04:38.out, and then of course, we did not need to do that, because you are
:04:39. > :04:42.innocent. I feel for somebody in that position. This particularly,
:04:43. > :04:46.because this is today's, but there are others, we have an absolute
:04:47. > :04:51.first class justice system, which I am wholly committed to, but there is
:04:52. > :04:56.something about these celebrity, shall I call on celebrity rape
:04:57. > :05:00.cases? Is that right? There are all sorts of allegations. Maybe we do
:05:01. > :05:06.not quite get that right. John, moving in political circles, to
:05:07. > :05:12.think there is genuine war between ministers and the CPS? No, I don't,
:05:13. > :05:16.this is friends of Nigel Evans who are asking the sort of questions
:05:17. > :05:20.that Angela is asking. But on the other side, you know, you have got
:05:21. > :05:25.to see it from the CPS point of view. You know, they have been
:05:26. > :05:30.criticised for not prosecuting cases, generally not cases involving
:05:31. > :05:34.celebrities ` but they have been accused of not bringing enough
:05:35. > :05:39.prosecutions and not securing enough convictions in rape cases, famously.
:05:40. > :05:43.And not being able to give out the details they might want to do to
:05:44. > :05:46.explain why they have done it. That is a PowerPoint back drop. I do not
:05:47. > :05:59.think anyone should pretend the balance is easy. `` that is a fair
:06:00. > :06:08.point. Everything that goes on, it is all in the public domain, and
:06:09. > :06:12.then they are cleared. Angela, I will ask you to start on this story,
:06:13. > :06:18.the Co`op, because of your background in finances and banking
:06:19. > :06:31.and so forth. Turmoil as Co`op loss is unveiled, still in the Guardian.
:06:32. > :06:35.I think a loss was expected but this adds to a series of things that have
:06:36. > :06:39.happened with the Co`op Bank and into the wider governance of the
:06:40. > :06:44.Co`op, which does rather tend you towards some of these things, you
:06:45. > :06:48.know, turmoil and disruption and what is happening. I think here one
:06:49. > :06:53.of the critical things is that and in individual, Lord Myners, was
:06:54. > :06:58.brought in for the purpose of sorting out the governance, and now
:06:59. > :07:01.he is saying that people will not go for it in the way that he was
:07:02. > :07:08.asking, or something along those lines, so he has resigned. The chief
:07:09. > :07:12.executive previously, four or five weeks ago, said, I am resigning
:07:13. > :07:19.because this is not govern a ball. Is it a mess? It is a mess, but the
:07:20. > :07:26.Co`op is something we are all familiar with, the shop down the
:07:27. > :07:30.road, the biggest funeral parlour in the country, it has a bank, and a
:07:31. > :07:34.lot of these things have unravelled. There has been an
:07:35. > :07:38.expectation in some areas. One of the critical thing is that the Co`op
:07:39. > :07:43.and its members have to do is get some stability. They have got to go
:07:44. > :07:48.for a change, they have got to be on a path of getting this business
:07:49. > :07:52.which is so important to us all running in a way that is being
:07:53. > :07:57.managed correctly. And right now turmoil is probably the right word.
:07:58. > :08:03.John, do you think this is done the co`operative movement, all of them,
:08:04. > :08:08.has it done the movement a very fatal wound? I do, the Co`op
:08:09. > :08:13.movement, to be frank, is pretty weak in this country. It consists of
:08:14. > :08:17.the shops and a label which is used by some Labour MPs as a flag of
:08:18. > :08:24.convenience. There are lots of little co`operatives, a movement
:08:25. > :08:29.that must be damaged. It is a small movement, and as a result of this it
:08:30. > :08:33.will be even smaller! A lot of small co`operatives and then you have got
:08:34. > :08:39.the big one, the Co`op, but the big one is actually also composed of
:08:40. > :08:44.some pretty independent entities. So I think it is how the whole lot
:08:45. > :08:47.rises up to the top, how that is managed. I quite agree, it all
:08:48. > :08:53.started with the bank, and that has unravelled. The Metro, killed by the
:08:54. > :08:56.air we breathe, tens of thousands killed every year as a result of
:08:57. > :09:01.breathing toxic air, and nobody would be surprised to know that it
:09:02. > :09:06.is London where the rate is worse, climbing up to one in 12. This is a
:09:07. > :09:10.good health horror story, isn't it? Especially as everyone is aware of
:09:11. > :09:16.the toxic smoke that we have been suffering. Actually, it was not
:09:17. > :09:19.smog, it was toxic haze, and just because it had a bit of sand from
:09:20. > :09:23.the Sahara in it, and we could see it, we noticed it. But the air
:09:24. > :09:30.quality has been worse than that for, you know, 60 days per year, and
:09:31. > :09:34.nobody bats an eyelid. So yeah, an interesting story. I am not sure
:09:35. > :09:39.whether people who live in London are going to say, well, because that
:09:40. > :09:43.is four days off my life, I will move to the countryside. Or I am
:09:44. > :09:51.going to start wearing a paper mask, like they do in Tokyo. It is
:09:52. > :09:56.Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster has the highest death rates. It
:09:57. > :10:02.does. An interesting conundrum is it gives you a solution which says,
:10:03. > :10:06.start cycling and walking. But surely you breathe more of the
:10:07. > :10:10.toxins? That's precisely the conundrum I saw in the story. It's
:10:11. > :10:15.only a short period of time ago when we had the one in Paris, because
:10:16. > :10:20.they were so bad you could only drive every other day depending on
:10:21. > :10:25.what your number plate was. Do big cities have a problem? Yes. They do
:10:26. > :10:32.in China but London is reasonably clean. Of course, we are a big city
:10:33. > :10:38.but can we not see, and the answer is no. All this dust which came from
:10:39. > :10:43.the Sahara apparently brings with it a whole lot of goodness which we
:10:44. > :10:47.actually need, so as soon as it has rained and it's landed on the flower
:10:48. > :10:56.beds, and in the ocean, it's a good thing. The Daily Telegraph. A very
:10:57. > :11:01.worrying story for many people, I'm sure the headline, patients given
:11:02. > :11:05.false hope on cancer. Half of men reassured on prostate disease have
:11:06. > :11:11.dangerous tumours apparently. The gist of this seems to be that the
:11:12. > :11:18.biopsies that they do fail to detect more aggressive cancers, prostate
:11:19. > :11:28.cancer, which obviously is one of the most common cancers amongst men.
:11:29. > :11:33.I think this is quite a concern. It does suggest that the NHS is going
:11:34. > :11:42.to have to tighten up its procedures. This comes from
:11:43. > :11:47.Cambridge University researchers. I hope the story doesn't put people
:11:48. > :11:53.off going to cancer tests or think every time they get a result from a
:11:54. > :11:58.cancer test somehow it's wrong. I appreciate this is a male story
:11:59. > :12:02.because is about prostate cancer, but there's been a lot of the
:12:03. > :12:07.stories over many, many years, cancer testing on women in various
:12:08. > :12:12.forms, which we tend to get and the men do not. And I think every time
:12:13. > :12:17.you get a cancer story which says that maybe the tests are not right,
:12:18. > :12:21.it can put a hesitancy onto people. It's absolutely essential to get
:12:22. > :12:27.these tests right if you possibly can but equally essential people go
:12:28. > :12:32.off and get themselves tested. Women are more inclined to do with the men
:12:33. > :12:38.sometimes. Just carry on, go and get tested. Sticking with the
:12:39. > :12:42.Telegraph, George Osborne predicted Britain's best days lie ahead. Not
:12:43. > :12:51.the weather forecast. He's talking about the economy. It's another
:12:52. > :12:57.political story. He's making a speech in Washington tomorrow. The
:12:58. > :13:01.Telegraph seem to have some advance information over what is going to
:13:02. > :13:05.say about it. There's only nine words of actual quotations in the
:13:06. > :13:09.story and I'm not sure he's actually going to say what the Telegraph
:13:10. > :13:15.summarises. Economic stagnation will not return to the UK. It sounds
:13:16. > :13:20.awfully like no more boom and bust. No one is ever going to say that one
:13:21. > :13:26.again. Tempting fate like Gordon Brown. I don't think he will say
:13:27. > :13:32.that. There's a bit more into this because the IMF, 14 months ago,
:13:33. > :13:39.actually criticised the UK economic policy, the austerity and said that
:13:40. > :13:45.we would not get growth from that. There was quite a few heart about
:13:46. > :13:54.that. George Osborne said the IMF was wrong. And the IMF said we are
:13:55. > :13:58.wrong. And they have not only upgraded their original growth
:13:59. > :14:06.forecast, but it's now higher than the one the Chancellor had. There we
:14:07. > :14:19.must leave it. We will come back to that. Thank you very much. John and
:14:20. > :14:23.Angela, thank you. Stay with us. At 11pm, more on the news for the man
:14:24. > :14:27.has been charged over the 1998 Omagh bombing. Coming up next, it is time
:14:28. > :14:45.for sports day. Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm
:14:46. > :14:48.Hugh Ferris. Day one of the Masters and it's almost like a year hasn't
:14:49. > :14:53.passed. Defending champion Adam Scott is right in the hunt again at
:14:54. > :14:57.Augusta. Banned for 18 months but back by December. Asafa Powell calls
:14:58. > :14:58.his backdated doping suspension unfair and
