:00:06. > :00:11.France and Germany agree to a new treaty to tackle the eurozone

:00:11. > :00:14.crisis, with or without Britain. Merkel and Sarkozy, Europe's double

:00:14. > :00:24.act, say they want a deal within months, prompting calls for a

:00:24. > :00:25.

:00:25. > :00:29.referendum here. British people should know there is a safeguard.

:00:29. > :00:34.If power goes from Britain to Brussels, they get to say so first,

:00:34. > :00:37.and quite right too. The markets like what they hear - plans for

:00:37. > :00:39.tough rules to punish countries that run up big debts.

:00:39. > :00:42.Also on tonight's programme: The bank admits mis-selling investments

:00:42. > :00:45.to the elderly - a record fine for HSBC. It is extremely disappointing

:00:45. > :00:50.that HSBC failed their customers in this case, and it doesn't do

:00:50. > :00:53.anything for trust in the financial services industry.

:00:53. > :01:03.On the run - police launch a manhunt for Barry Morrow after an

:01:55. > :01:58.News at six. There are going to be major changes in the way Europe is

:01:58. > :02:01.run. The leaders of France and Germany, under intense pressure to

:02:01. > :02:04.solve the Eurozone debt crisis, say they will push for a new treaty

:02:04. > :02:09.that would mean countries that run up huge budget deficits would face

:02:09. > :02:12.punishment from Brussels. Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel say they

:02:12. > :02:17.would like Britain to be part of the new treaty but are prepared to

:02:17. > :02:25.go ahead with just the eurozone members. Our Europe Editor Gavin

:02:25. > :02:31.Hewitt reports from Paris. This was the start of a crucial week for the

:02:31. > :02:35.eurozone, with key summits. The curtain raiser was here in Paris,

:02:36. > :02:40.with a meeting between the leaders of France and Germany, the two most

:02:40. > :02:45.powerful countries in the eurozone. They called for a new treaty that

:02:45. > :02:49.would make sure overspending never happened again, with automatic

:02:49. > :02:59.sanctions for countries who broke the rules. The leaders wanted to

:02:59. > :03:13.

:03:13. > :03:23.distress their determination to fix The German Chancellor said she

:03:23. > :03:24.

:03:24. > :03:34.would prefer the -- all the countries would sign up, but she

:03:34. > :03:36.

:03:36. > :03:41.would accept it if just the 17 countries in the eurozone joined.

:03:41. > :03:48.The two leaders want agreement on this by March. They hope that by

:03:49. > :03:53.signing up, it will make it a -- easier for the European Central

:03:53. > :03:58.Bank to help those struggling to pay their debt. The leaders are set

:03:58. > :04:02.on arguing for a new EU treaty, although many details remain

:04:02. > :04:08.unclear. There will be strict budget limits, deficit will not be

:04:08. > :04:13.able to exceed 3% of GDP, and there will be automatic sanctions for

:04:13. > :04:16.those that break the rules. In France, there is concern these

:04:16. > :04:21.changes will impinge on national sovereignty, that sanctions will

:04:21. > :04:25.apply on the recommendations of Brussels. The opposition fears that

:04:25. > :04:29.any oversight of budgets by European courts will weaken the

:04:29. > :04:34.role of Parliament in France. in the euro, respecting some

:04:34. > :04:39.discipline, doesn't mean that we lose any control on our own economy

:04:39. > :04:44.policy. If a European summit decides on Friday to seek treaty

:04:44. > :04:49.change with the backing of all 27 members, then Britain will have to

:04:49. > :04:53.give its support. Some countries may decide to hold referendums.

:04:53. > :04:58.Asked about the likelihood of holding a red the Prime Minister

:04:58. > :05:02.said he didn't think the issue would arise. Our approach is simple.

:05:02. > :05:07.We have legislated now so it is impossible for a British government

:05:07. > :05:11.to pass power from Britain to Brussels without asking people in a

:05:11. > :05:15.referendum first. In a summit later this week, the French and Germans

:05:15. > :05:20.will seek approval from other European Union members for treaty

:05:20. > :05:29.change. The big question is how long this will take and whether it

:05:29. > :05:35.addresses the fundamental problem of debt and low growth.

:05:35. > :05:37.I am sorry, we lost the translation on Angela Merkel's comments. In a

:05:38. > :05:40.moment the view from Downing Street with our Deputy Political Editor

:05:40. > :05:43.James Landale, but first our Business Editor Robert Peston is

:05:43. > :05:48.with me here. The markets have been going up to date - do they like

:05:48. > :05:53.what they are hearing? Investors are more optimistic. The price that

:05:53. > :06:00.Italy would have to pay to borrow money for 10 years has fallen below

:06:00. > :06:04.6%, that is well clear of the 7% danger zone, the first time that

:06:04. > :06:09.its borrowing costs have been well clearer prohibitive levels for

:06:09. > :06:13.about six weeks. The reason investors are feeling a bit less

:06:13. > :06:18.miserable is because these plans to penalise countries that borrowed

:06:18. > :06:22.too much, that spend recklessly, they may persuade the European

:06:22. > :06:27.Central Bank to be more aggressive in helping countries that are

:06:27. > :06:32.struggling to borrow, and perhaps most importantly of all, Germany is

:06:32. > :06:38.no longer insisting that private sector lenders to countries should

:06:38. > :06:45.suffer a significant losses in a bail-out. So lenders to Italy are

:06:45. > :06:50.feeling less anxious this evening. Very good news for the UK because,

:06:50. > :06:55.if the eurozone is further away from meltdown, that big sword of

:06:55. > :07:00.Damocles hanging over Britain has receded a bit.

:07:00. > :07:05.James, the markets appear to be happy, but politically does this

:07:05. > :07:08.leave David Cameron in an awkward place? There is probably another

:07:08. > :07:13.sword of Damocles hanging over the Prime Minister, politically at

:07:13. > :07:20.least, because some ministers think this treaty should be put to

:07:20. > :07:26.referendum. They Lincoln -- think it will transform Britain's

:07:26. > :07:32.relationship with the EU. There are other MPs who thinks the Prime

:07:32. > :07:35.Minister should try to get something back from Brussels. They

:07:35. > :07:40.fear the other countries may start agreeing things that are

:07:40. > :07:44.potentially against our national interest, such as a new tax on

:07:44. > :07:48.financial transactions. They are looking to the Prime Minister to

:07:48. > :07:53.give them assurances on this and protections against it happening.

:07:53. > :07:58.Today, the Prime Minister said that he will try to get something in

:07:58. > :08:03.order to enhance, protect, defend and promote our national interest.

:08:03. > :08:06.When he comes back at the end of the week, I think his MPs will hold

:08:06. > :08:09.him to those words. HSBC has been fined �10.5 million

:08:09. > :08:12.for mis-selling products to elderly customers. The investments were

:08:12. > :08:17.meant to help with paying for care home costs but hundreds of those

:08:17. > :08:21.who bought into the scheme were too old to benefit fully from it. It's

:08:21. > :08:31.the biggest ever fine for a retail banking offence. Today, HSBC's boss

:08:31. > :08:32.

:08:32. > :08:39.said he was profoundly sorry, as Simon Gompertz reports. Going into

:08:39. > :08:43.a care home, it is a crucial time for financial decisions and HSBC

:08:43. > :08:48.admits it has given thousands the wrong advice on paying fees. The

:08:48. > :08:54.bank had a subsidiary based outside Oxford which led the market in

:08:54. > :08:59.selling investment plans to cover care home fees. HSBC closed it down

:08:59. > :09:02.after it emerged customers were the only three years to live were

:09:02. > :09:08.receiving an adequate income from the plans and paying penalty

:09:08. > :09:11.charges for access to more of their money. We thought HSBC led down at

:09:11. > :09:16.a vulnerable group of customers. Many of them were elderly, the

:09:16. > :09:22.average age was 83, they came to HSBC looking for advice and they

:09:22. > :09:28.were sold completely unsuitable product in many cases. Those 83

:09:28. > :09:34.year-old customers invested typically �115,000 each. HSBC will

:09:35. > :09:41.pay compensation of around �12,000 each to over 2000 of them who are

:09:41. > :09:44.likely to have lost out. On this website, one reason why so many

:09:44. > :09:51.people were affected, charities like this were recommending the

:09:51. > :09:56.company. Help the aged did work with the company, but when the two

:09:56. > :10:01.charities merged to become age UK, we decided this was not an area of

:10:01. > :10:11.business we wanted to be in and we ended the contract with them.

:10:11. > :10:17.

:10:17. > :10:21.This record punishment for HSBC comes hard on the heels of fines on

:10:21. > :10:25.other banks, and lost banks are in the midst of paying out billions of

:10:25. > :10:29.pounds of compensation for mis- selling insurance on loans, there

:10:29. > :10:34.is a worry customers will lose trust in the very institutions they

:10:34. > :10:38.have relied on for years to look after their money. HSBC says it is

:10:38. > :10:42.writing to the care home residents who have lost money. It is not yet

:10:42. > :10:45.clear how many of those victims have already died.

:10:45. > :10:48.An international murder hunt is under way tonight for the killer of

:10:48. > :10:52.two women found dead in Southport. Today, a post mortem confirmed that

:10:52. > :10:54.Angela Holgate and her mother Alice Huyton had been asphyxiated. Police

:10:54. > :11:03.are trying to find Mrs Holgate's lodger, Barry Morrow, and believe

:11:03. > :11:09.he may be in France or Spain, as Ed Thomas reports.

:11:09. > :11:13.Angela Holgate was 54 and had brought up two daughters. Friends

:11:13. > :11:18.say her mother, Alice Huyton, seen here with her husband, lived for

:11:18. > :11:22.her family but both their bodies were found here on Saturday and

:11:22. > :11:28.boat had been asphyxiated. The lodger has gone missing and friends

:11:28. > :11:34.are left devastated. She was lovely and friendly. Up you know, her

:11:34. > :11:41.family was her life. That is all I can say really about her. How has

:11:41. > :11:47.this left you feeling? I couldn't believe it. Here raised the missing

:11:47. > :11:52.loggia, Barry Morrow. He is a local tradesman and recently carried out

:11:52. > :11:56.work on the driveway. Recently he spoke to this neighbour. I said you

:11:56. > :12:02.have done a good job. He said thanks, would you like anything

:12:02. > :12:07.doing. I said I might actually. I said how do I get hold of you? He

:12:07. > :12:12.said you can get hold of me here. But Barry Morrow is now believed to

:12:12. > :12:17.be in France after leaving the country in Angela Holgate's car.

:12:18. > :12:22.was cited in Southport on Saturday morning. Potentially he is the last

:12:22. > :12:28.person who has seen her alive. We know he has connections in Spain

:12:28. > :12:31.but we have no idea where he is. can also confirmed Barry Morrow was

:12:31. > :12:36.known to police. Last year he pleaded guilty to assaulting a

:12:36. > :12:42.woman in Southport, but the victim was not Alice Huyton or Angela

:12:42. > :12:46.Holgate. Tonight, flowers have been laid outside the house, while

:12:46. > :12:49.police say Barry Morrow was last seen in France on Saturday night.

:12:49. > :12:52.The multi-million pound budget for the opening and closing ceremonies

:12:52. > :12:56.at the Olympics and Paralympics has now been doubled after the Prime

:12:56. > :12:59.Minister intervened personally. Security costs for the Games are

:12:59. > :13:09.also going up dramatically. Our sports correspondent James Pearce

:13:09. > :13:12.

:13:12. > :13:16.reports. The opening of the Beijing Games, the most impressive

:13:16. > :13:21.extravagant Olympics ceremony yet. We had always been told London

:13:21. > :13:24.would not even try to compete with this. In 2012, we would see the

:13:24. > :13:29.austerity version, but now after an intervention from the Prime

:13:29. > :13:35.Minister, the budget for next year's ceremonies has been doubled.

:13:35. > :13:39.The total cost of the ceremonies had been due to be around �40

:13:39. > :13:45.million. The government is putting in extra �41 million to bring the

:13:45. > :13:49.total to more than �81 million. It is the Government's responsibility

:13:49. > :13:53.to fund the construction of the Olympic venues. It is the

:13:53. > :13:57.organising committee's duty to pay for the shows inside them so there

:13:57. > :14:01.wasn't meant to be a single penny of taxpayers' money spent on the

:14:01. > :14:05.opening and closing ceremonies. The cost should have been covered by

:14:05. > :14:10.ticket sales and sponsorship. The Olympic park is already attracting

:14:10. > :14:15.visitors. Today's announcement means they, the taxpayers, will be

:14:15. > :14:20.contributing to the ceremonies. is unbelievable they have doubled

:14:20. > :14:25.the Budget on the opening ceremony, which only lasts a few hours, when

:14:25. > :14:28.they should be investing the money in our young athletes and in school

:14:28. > :14:34.sports which have been dramatically cut, and it is really an investment

:14:34. > :14:38.for life. The government insists that, with an estimated global

:14:39. > :14:42.television audience of billions, it would be foolish not to maximise

:14:42. > :14:48.the opportunity of advertising our country to the world. The better

:14:48. > :14:52.the show, the argument goes, the bigger the return on the investment.

:14:53. > :14:57.This is a moment next summer when the eyes of the world will be

:14:57. > :15:02.looking at us. It is incumbent on us in government to maximise that

:15:02. > :15:07.opportunity, to drive the maximum benefit for the economy.

:15:07. > :15:17.government is also paying an extra �271 million for their security.

:15:17. > :15:18.

:15:18. > :15:21.The overall budget remains the same David Cameron has attacked plans to

:15:21. > :15:26.give NHS patients faster access to new treatments and to encourage

:15:26. > :15:30.more clinical trials in the UK. There are plans to share NHS data

:15:30. > :15:36.with research companies. Patient groups say anonymity must be

:15:36. > :15:41.ensured. Clinical trials at the heart of the

:15:41. > :15:48.NHS. This unit at Manchester's Christie Hospital is developing new

:15:48. > :15:52.cancer treatments. And attracting volunteers. Can I check your name?

:15:53. > :15:57.Peter Jones travels every two weeks from the Isle of Man for

:15:57. > :16:07.experimental bowel cancer therapy. I feel well in myself, and I am

:16:07. > :16:08.

:16:08. > :16:14.glad I am on it. The latest drugs, first-class treatment, I could not

:16:14. > :16:18.do better. But it can take 20 years from a discovery of a truck to

:16:18. > :16:23.getting it to patients. The Government wants to fast track

:16:23. > :16:28.these life-saving medicines. In future, all NHS patients, unless

:16:28. > :16:32.they opt out, will be part of research, because anonymous medical

:16:32. > :16:37.data will be handed over to scientists. Let me be clear. This

:16:37. > :16:41.does not threaten privacy, it does not think anybody can look at your

:16:41. > :16:45.health records, but it does mean using anonymous data to make new

:16:45. > :16:49.medical breakthroughs. That is something we should want to see

:16:49. > :16:53.happen right here in our country. These are difficult times for the

:16:53. > :16:58.life sciences sector. Earlier this year, this company said it was

:16:58. > :17:01.closing its research centre in Kent, where Viagra was developed. The

:17:01. > :17:08.number of clinical trials being carried out in the UK has fallen

:17:08. > :17:14.sharply. In 2000, 6% of the world's trials were conducted here. By last

:17:14. > :17:19.year, just 1.4%. Cost is one factor, many trials have moved to countries

:17:19. > :17:24.like India. A crucial hurdle is bureaucracy. It can be slower to

:17:24. > :17:30.get permission here compared to Germany. The regulatory processes,

:17:30. > :17:34.we need those to be robust, but we also need them to be slick, so that

:17:34. > :17:39.we can move through from the protocol to the first patient into

:17:39. > :17:43.the trial as quickly as possible. The key test will be with their new

:17:43. > :17:52.drugs are brought to market more quickly and whether NHS patients

:17:52. > :17:56.get access to them. The time is 6:17pm. The top story.

:17:56. > :18:01.France and Germany are pushing for a new EU treaty to deal with the

:18:01. > :18:05.eurozone debt crisis. Coming up, is this the most

:18:05. > :18:10.expensive pile-up in history? Nobody badly hurt, but eight

:18:11. > :18:15.Ferraris are reduced to scrap. Later on the BBC News channel, I

:18:15. > :18:19.will have the latest market reaction to France and Germany's

:18:32. > :18:37.The UK's big four supermarkets are accused of misleading shoppers with

:18:37. > :18:42.confusing and untrue claims about their special offers, which could

:18:42. > :18:47.potentially leave them open to prosecution. A report for Panorama

:18:47. > :18:52.has uncovered a series of pricing floors at ASDA, Morrisons, Tesco

:18:52. > :18:55.and Sainsbury's. Experts say some are in breach of consumer

:18:55. > :19:00.protection regulations. The offers and discounts are

:19:00. > :19:03.everywhere you look in the big four supermarkets. They now control 68%

:19:03. > :19:10.of the UK grocery market. Competition between there is

:19:10. > :19:14.fiercer. What is the reality behind the so-called price war? If there

:19:14. > :19:18.was a war going on at the moment, we would have seen profits fall.

:19:18. > :19:22.That is not happening. The name of the game is to be as clever as

:19:22. > :19:28.possible in how you promote and how you use your discounts, how do you

:19:28. > :19:33.attract the customers. How are they doing this? Take Tesco. They

:19:33. > :19:36.slashed the price of this fresh chicken from �5 to �4 in their bid

:19:36. > :19:41.price drop. What they do not tell customers is that the chicken

:19:42. > :19:45.actually cost �4 for most of this year. It only went up to �5 in July,

:19:45. > :19:49.stay for just over two months, before being dropped back down to

:19:49. > :19:55.its original price. Tesco claims this sort of practice does not

:19:55. > :20:00.break any rules, but is it misleading? I went secret shopping

:20:00. > :20:04.to find out what kind of promotions the big four are peddling in store

:20:04. > :20:07.and I discovered mistakes and misleading claims at all of them. I

:20:07. > :20:12.found Biggar Park, better-value offers, which turned out to be

:20:13. > :20:18.bigger pack, more expensive. Like this type of spread. You would have

:20:18. > :20:23.saved 20 p if you had bought the two small ones. The better-value,

:20:23. > :20:28.put that one back, take these two. After just a few hours in as the,

:20:28. > :20:33.Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's, I found 17 examples of bigger packs

:20:33. > :20:37.being presented as better value, when they were not. The

:20:37. > :20:41.supermarkets told us the labels are often put on by the manufacturers

:20:42. > :20:45.and they displayed unit prices so shoppers can compare. They say when

:20:45. > :20:51.smaller packs of on promotion, they may sometimes be cheaper than the

:20:51. > :20:56.bigger pack, better-value bonce. Experts said that is no defence.

:20:56. > :21:02.The law on this area is really very clear. It is unlawful to make

:21:02. > :21:06.claims that are misleading or actually false and that are

:21:06. > :21:11.persuading consumers to make the wrong choice. So there is a

:21:11. > :21:14.potential for prosecutions to be brought against all of them.

:21:14. > :21:19.four chains deny misleading customers and say they work hard to

:21:19. > :21:23.keep prices down. They also point to recent official research,

:21:23. > :21:30.showing that promotional campaigns contributed to a fault in inflation.

:21:30. > :21:37.But in this price war, is truth the first casualty?

:21:37. > :21:41.You can see the full story on Panorama tonight.

:21:41. > :21:44.At the Stephen Lawrence trial, another forensics experts says

:21:44. > :21:49.there is extremely persuasive evidence linking the weather of a

:21:49. > :21:53.jacket to his murder. The jacket was seized from one of the accused,

:21:53. > :21:59.Gary Dobson. The jury has been told that the forensic evidence is

:22:25. > :22:31.running through it. These fibres came, the court heard, from this

:22:31. > :22:34.jumper, belonging to Stephen. More evidence was found. Rare fibres

:23:00. > :23:05.The jury heard that that conclusion could only stand if the evidence

:23:05. > :23:09.had not been contaminated over the years. The defence has claimed that

:23:32. > :23:39.could the Scientist no? It is a theory, the response. More forensic

:23:39. > :23:43.evidence about the killing will be heard tomorrow.

:23:43. > :23:47.It could be one of the priciest pile-ups in history, eight Ferraris,

:23:47. > :23:52.three Mercedes, a Lamborghini and two others involved in a motorway

:24:19. > :24:26.there. Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes Benz, and a Lamborghini,

:24:26. > :24:30.all ruined. The wreckage was spread along the highway. This is possibly

:24:30. > :24:36.the only time, said a tow truck driver, we will see such a pile-up

:24:36. > :24:40.of luxury cars. When it happened, it was raining heavily. The police

:24:40. > :24:46.say a Ferrari driver at the front hit the central reservation and

:24:46. > :24:50.span across the carriageway. It set off a chain reaction of collisions.

:24:50. > :24:54.10 people were taken to hospital with cuts and bruises, but nobody

:24:54. > :25:02.was seriously hurt. The damage to the cars, though, has been

:25:09. > :25:13.as parts of Northern Ireland and northern England following the

:25:13. > :25:17.first major snow of the winter. In Scotland, schools were closed and

:25:17. > :25:23.there was destruction on the roads, but the authorities insist they are

:25:23. > :25:28.prepared for whatever the weather brings.

:25:28. > :25:32.It may be later than last year, but winter has finally arrived. This

:25:32. > :25:37.was the morning rush-hour on the motorway to England. H Clark lorry

:25:37. > :25:44.blocked the road for nearly three hours. But most Brits and remained

:25:59. > :26:04.Lanarkshire. A lot of problems getting to and from places. My

:26:07. > :26:11.brought down by the storms last week, but the snow will make it

:26:11. > :26:16.more difficult to shift. It adds up to make life in the countryside

:26:16. > :26:20.that much tougher, and this is just the beginning of winter. At least

:26:20. > :26:28.the trains should run more smoothly this year. This tunnel cuts the

:27:05. > :27:10.Here we go again. Fun and games for some, a headache for others. This

:27:10. > :27:15.was a beautiful shop in Derbyshire earlier. Derbyshire has had a lot

:27:15. > :27:22.of snow over the high ground, which has caused problems. The

:27:22. > :27:29.temperatures are falling away, and ice is a major concern. The DAB

:27:40. > :27:44.will be cold. It should be dry across the Midlands, the East

:27:44. > :27:50.Anglia and south-east, although things will cloud up more than we

:27:50. > :27:56.saw today. Showers further west. These will be of rain, it may be

:27:57. > :28:01.some sleet over the highest moors. For Wales, a packet of showers in
