France and Germany agree to a new treaty to tackle the eurozone

crisis, with or without Britain. Merkel and Sarkozy, Europe's double

:00:11.:00:14.

act, say they want a deal within months, prompting calls for a

:00:14.:00:24.
:00:24.:00:25.

referendum here. British people should know there is a safeguard.

:00:25.:00:29.

If power goes from Britain to Brussels, they get to say so first,

:00:29.:00:34.

and quite right too. The markets like what they hear - plans for

:00:34.:00:37.

tough rules to punish countries that run up big debts.

:00:37.:00:39.

Also on tonight's programme: The bank admits mis-selling investments

to the elderly - a record fine for HSBC. It is extremely disappointing

:00:42.:00:45.

that HSBC failed their customers in this case, and it doesn't do

:00:45.:00:50.

anything for trust in the financial services industry.

News at six. There are going to be major changes in the way Europe is

run. The leaders of France and Germany, under intense pressure to

:01:58.:02:01.

solve the Eurozone debt crisis, say they will push for a new treaty

:02:01.:02:04.

that would mean countries that run up huge budget deficits would face

:02:04.:02:09.

punishment from Brussels. Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel say they

:02:09.:02:12.

would like Britain to be part of the new treaty but are prepared to

:02:12.:02:17.

go ahead with just the eurozone members. Our Europe Editor Gavin

:02:17.:02:25.

Hewitt reports from Paris. This was the start of a crucial week for the

:02:25.:02:31.

eurozone, with key summits. The curtain raiser was here in Paris,

:02:31.:02:35.

with a meeting between the leaders of France and Germany, the two most

:02:36.:02:40.

powerful countries in the eurozone. They called for a new treaty that

:02:40.:02:45.

would make sure overspending never happened again, with automatic

:02:45.:02:49.

sanctions for countries who broke the rules. The leaders wanted to

:02:49.:02:59.
:02:59.:03:13.

distress their determination to fix The German Chancellor said she

:03:13.:03:23.
:03:23.:03:24.

would prefer the -- all the countries would sign up, but she

:03:24.:03:34.
:03:34.:03:36.

would accept it if just the 17 countries in the eurozone joined.

:03:36.:03:41.

The two leaders want agreement on this by March. They hope that by

:03:41.:03:48.

signing up, it will make it a -- easier for the European Central

:03:49.:03:53.

Bank to help those struggling to pay their debt. The leaders are set

:03:53.:03:58.

on arguing for a new EU treaty, although many details remain

:03:58.:04:02.

unclear. There will be strict budget limits, deficit will not be

:04:02.:04:08.

able to exceed 3% of GDP, and there will be automatic sanctions for

:04:08.:04:13.

those that break the rules. In France, there is concern these

:04:13.:04:16.

changes will impinge on national sovereignty, that sanctions will

:04:16.:04:21.

apply on the recommendations of Brussels. The opposition fears that

:04:21.:04:25.

any oversight of budgets by European courts will weaken the

:04:25.:04:29.

role of Parliament in France. in the euro, respecting some

:04:29.:04:34.

discipline, doesn't mean that we lose any control on our own economy

:04:34.:04:39.

policy. If a European summit decides on Friday to seek treaty

:04:39.:04:44.

change with the backing of all 27 members, then Britain will have to

:04:44.:04:49.

give its support. Some countries may decide to hold referendums.

:04:49.:04:53.

Asked about the likelihood of holding a red the Prime Minister

:04:53.:04:58.

said he didn't think the issue would arise. Our approach is simple.

:04:58.:05:02.

We have legislated now so it is impossible for a British government

:05:02.:05:07.

to pass power from Britain to Brussels without asking people in a

:05:07.:05:11.

referendum first. In a summit later this week, the French and Germans

:05:11.:05:15.

will seek approval from other European Union members for treaty

:05:15.:05:20.

change. The big question is how long this will take and whether it

:05:20.:05:29.

addresses the fundamental problem of debt and low growth.

:05:29.:05:35.

I am sorry, we lost the translation on Angela Merkel's comments. In a

:05:35.:05:37.

moment the view from Downing Street with our Deputy Political Editor

:05:38.:05:40.

James Landale, but first our Business Editor Robert Peston is

:05:40.:05:43.

with me here. The markets have been going up to date - do they like

:05:43.:05:48.

what they are hearing? Investors are more optimistic. The price that

:05:48.:05:53.

Italy would have to pay to borrow money for 10 years has fallen below

:05:53.:06:00.

6%, that is well clear of the 7% danger zone, the first time that

:06:00.:06:04.

its borrowing costs have been well clearer prohibitive levels for

:06:04.:06:09.

about six weeks. The reason investors are feeling a bit less

:06:09.:06:13.

miserable is because these plans to penalise countries that borrowed

:06:13.:06:18.

too much, that spend recklessly, they may persuade the European

:06:18.:06:22.

Central Bank to be more aggressive in helping countries that are

:06:22.:06:27.

struggling to borrow, and perhaps most importantly of all, Germany is

:06:27.:06:32.

no longer insisting that private sector lenders to countries should

:06:32.:06:38.

suffer a significant losses in a bail-out. So lenders to Italy are

:06:38.:06:45.

feeling less anxious this evening. Very good news for the UK because,

:06:45.:06:50.

if the eurozone is further away from meltdown, that big sword of

:06:50.:06:55.

Damocles hanging over Britain has receded a bit.

:06:55.:07:00.

James, the markets appear to be happy, but politically does this

:07:00.:07:05.

leave David Cameron in an awkward place? There is probably another

:07:05.:07:08.

sword of Damocles hanging over the Prime Minister, politically at

:07:08.:07:13.

least, because some ministers think this treaty should be put to

:07:13.:07:20.

referendum. They Lincoln -- think it will transform Britain's

:07:20.:07:26.

relationship with the EU. There are other MPs who thinks the Prime

:07:26.:07:32.

Minister should try to get something back from Brussels. They

:07:32.:07:35.

fear the other countries may start agreeing things that are

:07:35.:07:40.

potentially against our national interest, such as a new tax on

:07:40.:07:44.

financial transactions. They are looking to the Prime Minister to

:07:44.:07:48.

give them assurances on this and protections against it happening.

:07:48.:07:53.

Today, the Prime Minister said that he will try to get something in

:07:53.:07:58.

order to enhance, protect, defend and promote our national interest.

:07:58.:08:03.

When he comes back at the end of the week, I think his MPs will hold

:08:03.:08:06.

him to those words. HSBC has been fined �10.5 million

:08:06.:08:09.

for mis-selling products to elderly customers. The investments were

:08:09.:08:12.

meant to help with paying for care home costs but hundreds of those

:08:12.:08:17.

who bought into the scheme were too old to benefit fully from it. It's

:08:17.:08:21.

the biggest ever fine for a retail banking offence. Today, HSBC's boss

:08:21.:08:31.
:08:31.:08:32.

said he was profoundly sorry, as Simon Gompertz reports. Going into

:08:32.:08:39.

a care home, it is a crucial time for financial decisions and HSBC

:08:39.:08:43.

admits it has given thousands the wrong advice on paying fees. The

:08:43.:08:48.

bank had a subsidiary based outside Oxford which led the market in

:08:48.:08:54.

selling investment plans to cover care home fees. HSBC closed it down

:08:54.:08:59.

after it emerged customers were the only three years to live were

:08:59.:09:02.

receiving an adequate income from the plans and paying penalty

:09:02.:09:08.

charges for access to more of their money. We thought HSBC led down at

:09:08.:09:11.

a vulnerable group of customers. Many of them were elderly, the

:09:11.:09:16.

average age was 83, they came to HSBC looking for advice and they

:09:16.:09:22.

were sold completely unsuitable product in many cases. Those 83

:09:22.:09:28.

year-old customers invested typically �115,000 each. HSBC will

:09:28.:09:34.

pay compensation of around �12,000 each to over 2000 of them who are

:09:35.:09:41.

likely to have lost out. On this website, one reason why so many

:09:41.:09:44.

people were affected, charities like this were recommending the

:09:44.:09:51.

company. Help the aged did work with the company, but when the two

:09:51.:09:56.

charities merged to become age UK, we decided this was not an area of

:09:56.:10:01.

business we wanted to be in and we ended the contract with them.

:10:01.:10:11.
:10:11.:10:17.

This record punishment for HSBC comes hard on the heels of fines on

:10:17.:10:21.

other banks, and lost banks are in the midst of paying out billions of

:10:21.:10:25.

pounds of compensation for mis- selling insurance on loans, there

:10:25.:10:29.

is a worry customers will lose trust in the very institutions they

:10:29.:10:34.

have relied on for years to look after their money. HSBC says it is

:10:34.:10:38.

writing to the care home residents who have lost money. It is not yet

:10:38.:10:42.

clear how many of those victims have already died.

:10:42.:10:45.

An international murder hunt is under way tonight for the killer of

:10:45.:10:48.

two women found dead in Southport. Today, a post mortem confirmed that

:10:48.:10:52.

Angela Holgate and her mother Alice Huyton had been asphyxiated. Police

:10:52.:10:54.

are trying to find Mrs Holgate's lodger, Barry Morrow, and believe

:10:54.:11:03.

he may be in France or Spain, as Ed Thomas reports.

:11:03.:11:09.

Angela Holgate was 54 and had brought up two daughters. Friends

:11:09.:11:13.

say her mother, Alice Huyton, seen here with her husband, lived for

:11:13.:11:18.

her family but both their bodies were found here on Saturday and

:11:18.:11:22.

boat had been asphyxiated. The lodger has gone missing and friends

:11:22.:11:28.

are left devastated. She was lovely and friendly. Up you know, her

:11:28.:11:34.

family was her life. That is all I can say really about her. How has

:11:34.:11:41.

this left you feeling? I couldn't believe it. Here raised the missing

:11:41.:11:47.

loggia, Barry Morrow. He is a local tradesman and recently carried out

:11:47.:11:52.

work on the driveway. Recently he spoke to this neighbour. I said you

:11:52.:11:56.

have done a good job. He said thanks, would you like anything

:11:56.:12:02.

doing. I said I might actually. I said how do I get hold of you? He

:12:02.:12:07.

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

:12:07.:12:12.

be in France after leaving the country in Angela Holgate's car.

:12:12.:12:17.

was cited in Southport on Saturday morning. Potentially he is the last

:12:18.:12:22.

person who has seen her alive. We know he has connections in Spain

:12:22.:12:28.

but we have no idea where he is. can also confirmed Barry Morrow was

:12:28.:12:31.

known to police. Last year he pleaded guilty to assaulting a

:12:31.:12:36.

woman in Southport, but the victim was not Alice Huyton or Angela

:12:36.:12:42.

Holgate. Tonight, flowers have been laid outside the house, while

:12:42.:12:46.

police say Barry Morrow was last seen in France on Saturday night.

:12:46.:12:49.

The multi-million pound budget for the opening and closing ceremonies

:12:49.:12:52.

at the Olympics and Paralympics has now been doubled after the Prime

:12:52.:12:56.

Minister intervened personally. Security costs for the Games are

:12:56.:12:59.

also going up dramatically. Our sports correspondent James Pearce

:12:59.:13:09.
:13:09.:13:12.

reports. The opening of the Beijing Games, the most impressive

:13:12.:13:16.

extravagant Olympics ceremony yet. We had always been told London

:13:16.:13:21.

would not even try to compete with this. In 2012, we would see the

:13:21.:13:24.

austerity version, but now after an intervention from the Prime

:13:24.:13:29.

Minister, the budget for next year's ceremonies has been doubled.

:13:29.:13:35.

The total cost of the ceremonies had been due to be around �40

:13:35.:13:39.

million. The government is putting in extra �41 million to bring the

:13:39.:13:45.

total to more than �81 million. It is the Government's responsibility

:13:45.:13:49.

to fund the construction of the Olympic venues. It is the

:13:49.:13:53.

organising committee's duty to pay for the shows inside them so there

:13:53.:13:57.

wasn't meant to be a single penny of taxpayers' money spent on the

:13:57.:14:01.

opening and closing ceremonies. The cost should have been covered by

:14:01.:14:05.

ticket sales and sponsorship. The Olympic park is already attracting

:14:05.:14:10.

visitors. Today's announcement means they, the taxpayers, will be

:14:10.:14:15.

contributing to the ceremonies. is unbelievable they have doubled

:14:15.:14:20.

the Budget on the opening ceremony, which only lasts a few hours, when

:14:20.:14:25.

they should be investing the money in our young athletes and in school

:14:25.:14:28.

sports which have been dramatically cut, and it is really an investment

:14:28.:14:34.

for life. The government insists that, with an estimated global

:14:34.:14:38.

television audience of billions, it would be foolish not to maximise

:14:39.:14:42.

the opportunity of advertising our country to the world. The better

:14:42.:14:48.

the show, the argument goes, the bigger the return on the investment.

:14:48.:14:52.

This is a moment next summer when the eyes of the world will be

:14:53.:14:57.

looking at us. It is incumbent on us in government to maximise that

:14:57.:15:02.

opportunity, to drive the maximum benefit for the economy.

:15:02.:15:07.

government is also paying an extra �271 million for their security.

:15:07.:15:17.
:15:17.:15:18.

The overall budget remains the same David Cameron has attacked plans to

:15:18.:15:21.

give NHS patients faster access to new treatments and to encourage

:15:21.:15:26.

more clinical trials in the UK. There are plans to share NHS data

:15:26.:15:30.

with research companies. Patient groups say anonymity must be

:15:30.:15:36.

ensured. Clinical trials at the heart of the

:15:36.:15:41.

NHS. This unit at Manchester's Christie Hospital is developing new

:15:41.:15:48.

cancer treatments. And attracting volunteers. Can I check your name?

:15:48.:15:52.

Peter Jones travels every two weeks from the Isle of Man for

:15:53.:15:57.

experimental bowel cancer therapy. I feel well in myself, and I am

:15:57.:16:07.
:16:07.:16:08.

glad I am on it. The latest drugs, first-class treatment, I could not

:16:08.:16:14.

do better. But it can take 20 years from a discovery of a truck to

:16:14.:16:18.

getting it to patients. The Government wants to fast track

:16:18.:16:23.

these life-saving medicines. In future, all NHS patients, unless

:16:23.:16:28.

they opt out, will be part of research, because anonymous medical

:16:28.:16:32.

data will be handed over to scientists. Let me be clear. This

:16:32.:16:37.

does not threaten privacy, it does not think anybody can look at your

:16:37.:16:41.

health records, but it does mean using anonymous data to make new

:16:41.:16:45.

medical breakthroughs. That is something we should want to see

:16:45.:16:49.

happen right here in our country. These are difficult times for the

:16:49.:16:53.

life sciences sector. Earlier this year, this company said it was

:16:53.:16:58.

closing its research centre in Kent, where Viagra was developed. The

:16:58.:17:01.

number of clinical trials being carried out in the UK has fallen

:17:01.:17:08.

sharply. In 2000, 6% of the world's trials were conducted here. By last

:17:08.:17:14.

year, just 1.4%. Cost is one factor, many trials have moved to countries

:17:14.:17:19.

like India. A crucial hurdle is bureaucracy. It can be slower to

:17:19.:17:24.

get permission here compared to Germany. The regulatory processes,

:17:24.:17:30.

we need those to be robust, but we also need them to be slick, so that

:17:30.:17:34.

we can move through from the protocol to the first patient into

:17:34.:17:39.

the trial as quickly as possible. The key test will be with their new

:17:39.:17:43.

drugs are brought to market more quickly and whether NHS patients

:17:43.:17:52.

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

:17:52.:17:56.

France and Germany are pushing for a new EU treaty to deal with the

:17:56.:18:01.

eurozone debt crisis. Coming up, is this the most

:18:01.:18:05.

expensive pile-up in history? Nobody badly hurt, but eight

:18:05.:18:10.

Ferraris are reduced to scrap. Later on the BBC News channel, I

:18:11.:18:15.

will have the latest market reaction to France and Germany's

:18:15.:18:19.

proposals for 80 average European treaty and more and HSBC's record

:18:29.:18:32.

The UK's big four supermarkets are accused of misleading shoppers with

:18:32.:18:37.

confusing and untrue claims about their special offers, which could

:18:37.:18:42.

potentially leave them open to prosecution. A report for Panorama

:18:42.:18:47.

has uncovered a series of pricing floors at ASDA, Morrisons, Tesco

:18:47.:18:52.

and Sainsbury's. Experts say some are in breach of consumer

:18:52.:18:55.

protection regulations. The offers and discounts are

:18:55.:19:00.

everywhere you look in the big four supermarkets. They now control 68%

:19:00.:19:03.

of the UK grocery market. Competition between there is

:19:03.:19:10.

fiercer. What is the reality behind the so-called price war? If there

:19:10.:19:14.

was a war going on at the moment, we would have seen profits fall.

:19:14.:19:18.

That is not happening. The name of the game is to be as clever as

:19:18.:19:22.

possible in how you promote and how you use your discounts, how do you

:19:22.:19:28.

attract the customers. How are they doing this? Take Tesco. They

:19:28.:19:33.

slashed the price of this fresh chicken from �5 to �4 in their bid

:19:33.:19:36.

price drop. What they do not tell customers is that the chicken

:19:36.:19:41.

actually cost �4 for most of this year. It only went up to �5 in July,

:19:42.:19:45.

stay for just over two months, before being dropped back down to

:19:45.:19:49.

its original price. Tesco claims this sort of practice does not

:19:49.:19:55.

break any rules, but is it misleading? I went secret shopping

:19:55.:20:00.

to find out what kind of promotions the big four are peddling in store

:20:00.:20:04.

and I discovered mistakes and misleading claims at all of them. I

:20:04.:20:07.

found Biggar Park, better-value offers, which turned out to be

:20:07.:20:12.

bigger pack, more expensive. Like this type of spread. You would have

:20:13.:20:18.

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

:20:18.:20:23.

put that one back, take these two. After just a few hours in as the,

:20:23.:20:28.

Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's, I found 17 examples of bigger packs

:20:28.:20:33.

being presented as better value, when they were not. The

:20:33.:20:37.

supermarkets told us the labels are often put on by the manufacturers

:20:37.:20:41.

and they displayed unit prices so shoppers can compare. They say when

:20:42.:20:45.

smaller packs of on promotion, they may sometimes be cheaper than the

:20:45.:20:51.

bigger pack, better-value bonce. Experts said that is no defence.

:20:51.:20:56.

The law on this area is really very clear. It is unlawful to make

:20:56.:21:02.

claims that are misleading or actually false and that are

:21:02.:21:06.

persuading consumers to make the wrong choice. So there is a

:21:06.:21:11.

potential for prosecutions to be brought against all of them.

:21:11.:21:14.

four chains deny misleading customers and say they work hard to

:21:14.:21:19.

keep prices down. They also point to recent official research,

:21:19.:21:23.

showing that promotional campaigns contributed to a fault in inflation.

:21:23.:21:30.

But in this price war, is truth the first casualty?

:21:30.:21:37.

You can see the full story on Panorama tonight.

:21:37.:21:41.

At the Stephen Lawrence trial, another forensics experts says

:21:41.:21:44.

there is extremely persuasive evidence linking the weather of a

:21:44.:21:49.

jacket to his murder. The jacket was seized from one of the accused,

:21:49.:21:53.

Gary Dobson. The jury has been told that the forensic evidence is

:21:53.:21:59.

crucial to the case. The evidence of scientist Roy Green

:21:59.:22:03.

centred on a jacket seized from the House of one of the defendants,

The jury heard that that conclusion could only stand if the evidence

:24:26.:24:30.

the only time, said a tow truck driver, we will see such a pile-up

:24:30.:24:36.

of luxury cars. When it happened, it was raining heavily. The police

say a Ferrari driver at the front hit the central reservation and

10 people were taken to hospital with cuts and bruises, but nobody

was seriously hurt. The damage to the cars, though, has been

Severe weather warnings have been issued for most of Scotland as well

as parts of Northern Ireland and northern England following the

:25:09.:25:13.

first major snow of the winter. In Scotland, schools were closed and

there was destruction on the roads, but the authorities insist they are

:25:17.:25:23.

prepared for whatever the weather brings.

It may be later than last year, but winter has finally arrived. This

was the morning rush-hour on the motorway to England. H Clark lorry

more difficult to shift. It adds up to make life in the countryside

that much tougher, and this is just the beginning of winter. At least

Here we go again. Fun and games for some, a headache for others. This

was a beautiful shop in Derbyshire earlier. Derbyshire has had a lot

:27:10.:27:15.

of snow over the high ground, which has caused problems. The
