:00:00. > :00:09.If Police are called in after Colchester hospital staff say they
:00:10. > :00:15.were bullied into falsifying data on cancer patients. Inspectors say the
:00:16. > :00:23.hospital's records on cancer waiting times for were inaccurate - it meant
:00:24. > :00:27.treatment delays for some patients. I am shocked that cancer patients
:00:28. > :00:30.diagnosis and treatment should be delayed. Shocked also that they
:00:31. > :00:33.should have apparently have been covered up.
:00:34. > :00:37.Also tonight: She's called Sweetie and she's a computer model designed
:00:38. > :00:40.to catch paedophiles - 100 British men are reported to police.
:00:41. > :00:48.Attacked by a dog in her own home in Leicestershire - a young girl dies
:00:49. > :00:52.in hospital. Hundreds of shipyard jobs across the
:00:53. > :00:59.UK are threatened. The announcement could come this week.
:01:00. > :01:05.And India's mission to Mars - if it's successful, the country will
:01:06. > :01:12.join the space race superpowers. Coming up later, there is a rare
:01:13. > :01:14.black day for AP McCoy. Three rides at Exeter but his weight for a 4000
:01:15. > :01:41.winner goes on. Good evening. A hospital trust in
:01:42. > :01:45.Essex has been reported to police. It comes after staff complained they
:01:46. > :01:50.were bullied into changing records relating to waiting times for cancer
:01:51. > :01:55.patients. The inaccuracies were uncovered by inspectors who said the
:01:56. > :01:59.changes made it look like the hospital was meeting national
:02:00. > :02:02.guidelines on cancer treatment. The chief inspector of England's
:02:03. > :02:10.hospitals said it was shocking that people's lives could be put at risk.
:02:11. > :02:16.How safe is care at this hospital queue Mac a question already asked
:02:17. > :02:20.in Colchester. One of 14 trust investigated this year for higher
:02:21. > :02:24.than expected death rates. Now hospital inspectors have also found
:02:25. > :02:27.failings in cancer care, delays in treatment which may have been
:02:28. > :02:34.covered up by changing waiting time records. Those cancer care delays
:02:35. > :02:38.were uncovered after 61 individual patient records were checked to see
:02:39. > :02:44.when treatment happened. 22 cases did not match waiting target
:02:45. > :02:49.records. Evidence was found some were changed so the hospital did not
:02:50. > :02:55.get into trouble. 13 next of kin of patients who had already died have
:02:56. > :02:59.been offered a full review of their care. The Chief Inspector of
:03:00. > :03:04.Hospitals is a cancer doctor himself. He led the introduction of
:03:05. > :03:08.targets for faster cancer treatment. I was shocked to find out what was
:03:09. > :03:14.happening at Colchester. Shocked that cancer patients's diagnosis and
:03:15. > :03:20.treatment should be delayed, but shocked also that this should have
:03:21. > :03:25.apparently have been covered up. The report gives shocking examples. A
:03:26. > :03:31.patient on well but sent home. The wrong test results gave an all
:03:32. > :03:34.clear. Not long afterwards, an emergency operation revealed
:03:35. > :03:38.cancer. Patients who were not told of their delays. Three staff who
:03:39. > :03:42.said they were put under pressure to change records. Some of these delays
:03:43. > :03:48.were meaningful in terms of the care patients receive. I apologise for
:03:49. > :03:53.that. We have let patients down. In addition, some of our staff may have
:03:54. > :03:57.inappropriately changed cancer data and they may have been bullied and
:03:58. > :04:01.harassed to do that. That is abhorrent behaviour and we do not
:04:02. > :04:06.tolerated. We will stamp it out. Today unions said the investigation
:04:07. > :04:12.raised disturbing questions about pressure on staff. I cannot think of
:04:13. > :04:16.a more despicable thing to do than to distort figures on what people
:04:17. > :04:19.should be doing is setting the target our site and concentrating on
:04:20. > :04:26.doing what hospitals are there to do, to treat people. Colchester
:04:27. > :04:30.hospital is trying to reassure staff and patients while Essex Police look
:04:31. > :04:36.into whether any criminal offence has been committed. And Branwen is
:04:37. > :04:44.with me now. What do we know about the investigation by the police
:04:45. > :04:47.queue Mac --? It is in its preliminary stages. My understanding
:04:48. > :04:51.is that the staff who raised concerns have been spoken to by the
:04:52. > :04:58.police. Essex Police have documents that were passed to them by the CQC
:04:59. > :05:04.which documents changes made. Obviously it is a very serious
:05:05. > :05:08.matter to alter records. It is plainly wrong. Whether or not that
:05:09. > :05:12.amounts to any criminal offence, is something the police will have to
:05:13. > :05:16.look at very seriously. There is not a criminal investigation yet. This
:05:17. > :05:21.raises all kinds of questions about what was going on at the hospital.
:05:22. > :05:25.These were recent failings covering this year and last year. The cancer
:05:26. > :05:30.treatment was put in place to make sure that people were treated
:05:31. > :05:33.quickly. Staff in this hospital obviously filed under pressure to
:05:34. > :05:38.change records when they were not meeting those targets. That tells us
:05:39. > :05:44.something about pressure around the culture of targets in the NHS today.
:05:45. > :05:47.Thank you very much. More than 100 British men have been caught in a
:05:48. > :05:53.sting operation launched by a charity trying to get -- catch
:05:54. > :05:59.paedophiles using the internet. They were among a thousand men trying to
:06:00. > :06:04.pay a computerised girl for sex. You may find this report disturbing. At
:06:05. > :06:10.a secret location on the outskirts of Amsterdam, a research poses as
:06:11. > :06:17.prey to catch a predator. Online, this is who he becomes, Sweetie, a
:06:18. > :06:20.10-year old girl from the Philippines. Researchers could not
:06:21. > :06:24.possibly have used a real child for this, so they created Sweetie. But
:06:25. > :06:28.tens of thousands of men who contacted her, thought they were
:06:29. > :06:34.really talking to a ten-year-old girl in the Philippines. The
:06:35. > :06:44.research wants to remain anonymous because of the paedophiles he is
:06:45. > :06:51.exposing. Here, he logs into a chat room. Within seconds, like sharks,
:06:52. > :06:55.men are circling. It is terrifying, yes, it is really scary. It breaks
:06:56. > :07:01.your stereotypical image of a predator. Before, I thought they
:07:02. > :07:05.were all 45-year-old males with long coats and a little bit dodgy. Now it
:07:06. > :07:13.appears these guys have normal jobs, normal families. The diversity is
:07:14. > :07:18.enormous. I am not real. I am a computer model. The charity behind
:07:19. > :07:24.the stain has launched a global campaign to try to stop this abuse.
:07:25. > :07:30.-- Mac the sting. 20,000 men contacted Sweetie. More than a
:07:31. > :07:35.quarter were from the USA. 110 were British. And significant numbers
:07:36. > :07:40.came from India, Canada and Australia. All of their names and
:07:41. > :07:45.addresses have been passed to police. A former senior officer he
:07:46. > :07:54.says the British authorities need to do more. Tactics like this have to
:07:55. > :07:59.be used to bring more resources to bear, so the paedophiles no longer
:08:00. > :08:05.feels they are safe going online. This charity has led the way. They
:08:06. > :08:09.should be applauded. Sweetie will not be used again. She has done her
:08:10. > :08:18.job, showing the predators that they too can easily become prey.
:08:19. > :08:22.BBC News has learned that hundreds of shipbuilding jobs are to be lost
:08:23. > :08:29.across the UK. Nick Robinson, who has just broken the story, is here.
:08:30. > :08:35.People are going to want to know where these job cuts are going to
:08:36. > :08:39.fall? They are. Ship workers around the country, particularly in
:08:40. > :08:43.Scotland, on the Clyde, and in Portsmouth, have been waiting for a
:08:44. > :08:48.long time. They have been waiting to see if a hold shipyard would close.
:08:49. > :08:52.I do not have the full details of what will be announced on Thursday
:08:53. > :08:57.morning. But the job losses will be in many hundreds, possibly over a
:08:58. > :09:02.thousand. And in addition, Govan shipyard on the River Clyde in
:09:03. > :09:06.Scotland, will not close. That is very significant. Earlier this week
:09:07. > :09:11.the famous cranes of Govan, it was announced, will be removed. The
:09:12. > :09:15.rumour went round that it would go. It matters not just to the community
:09:16. > :09:20.there, but to the debate about the future of the UK because it is at
:09:21. > :09:23.the centre of the argument about Scottish independence. There have
:09:24. > :09:27.always been warnings about those who want the UK to stay together that if
:09:28. > :09:32.Scotland goes independent, it will lose its shipyards. I am told the
:09:33. > :09:38.Government is very well aware of the politics of the Clyde. They do not
:09:39. > :09:42.want to give Alex Salmond a gift by closing the shipyard. They have
:09:43. > :09:47.decided to keep it open. That may lead men and women in England to
:09:48. > :09:52.say, have we paid the price for the politics of Scotland? Two policemen
:09:53. > :09:56.involved in the plebgate row have expressed their regret at the
:09:57. > :10:01.distress caused to Andrew Mitchell and his family over allegations made
:10:02. > :10:04.against the former cabinet minister. One of the officers refused to
:10:05. > :10:09.apologise directly to the former Chief Whip. The police watchdog is
:10:10. > :10:15.indebted -- investigating claims that the police had misled
:10:16. > :10:18.Parliament. Two policemen, both accused of
:10:19. > :10:23.trying to bring down a Cabinet minister, both accused of misleading
:10:24. > :10:26.Parliament. Today they came to Westminster to express some regret
:10:27. > :10:33.but no unqualified apology. The committee appears to believe we are
:10:34. > :10:37.indifferent to Mr Mitchell's predicament and the distress caused
:10:38. > :10:43.to him and his family, we are not. I am not. Each of us fully recognises
:10:44. > :10:47.and regrets the fact such distress has been caused. Andrew Mitchell's
:10:48. > :10:53.wife was in the committee to hear that herself. She got more than
:10:54. > :10:59.regret from the second policeman. You don't want to apologise for any
:11:00. > :11:03.distress. The policeman had met Andrew Mitchell at his constituency
:11:04. > :11:09.office last autumn after the then Tory Chief Whip was accused of
:11:10. > :11:13.calling officers plebs, something he has always denied. After the
:11:14. > :11:20.meeting, the police said Mr Mitchell had not explained himself. Secret
:11:21. > :11:23.recordings proved he had. MPs felt they had given misleading answers
:11:24. > :11:27.last week, one about his disciplinary record, the other about
:11:28. > :11:31.calling the Home Secretary that woman. There was no intention to
:11:32. > :11:36.mislead the committee. I repeat my unqualified apology for this
:11:37. > :11:40.inaccuracy. It was not my intention to mislead the committee. If I
:11:41. > :11:46.misled the committee, it was because I did not understand the questions.
:11:47. > :11:50.I apologise for that. This so-called plebgate row is not just about the
:11:51. > :11:54.career of the politician -- a politician, it is more about the
:11:55. > :12:01.police and how much public trust they have lost. And so worried is
:12:02. > :12:04.the police watchdog, the IPCC, that it said it will investigate the
:12:05. > :12:10.claims that these men misled Parliament, as well as what they
:12:11. > :12:17.said about Andrew Mitchell. Plebgate is not over yet.
:12:18. > :12:22.A young girl has died after being attacked by a dog thought to be her
:12:23. > :12:26.family's pet. Police were called to her home in Leicestershire this
:12:27. > :12:31.afternoon. The girl was taken to hospital but died later. Sian Lloyd
:12:32. > :12:40.is there. What more do we know about this distressing case? Police were
:12:41. > :12:43.called to the flat in Mountsorrel at about quarter past 12 this afternoon
:12:44. > :12:48.after reports that a four-year-old girl had been attacked by a dog. She
:12:49. > :12:55.was taken to the Queens medical Centre is nothing but later died. --
:12:56. > :12:59.the Queen's medical centre. We know the girl lived in a flat with her
:13:00. > :13:02.mother. There is a great deal of shock in the community this
:13:03. > :13:07.evening. Many people have been visibly upset. It is not thought
:13:08. > :13:12.this dog is a breed listed under section one of the Dangerous Dogs
:13:13. > :13:16.Act. It is thought to have been the family pet. Neighbours say it was a
:13:17. > :13:23.recent addition to the family. They believe it was recently re-homed
:13:24. > :13:26.here. It is understood the dog has since died. The police are
:13:27. > :13:32.investigating here this evening. They say their inquiry is at an
:13:33. > :13:36.early stage. The hacking trial has heard that the
:13:37. > :13:38.News of the World managing editor told the police the newspaper
:13:39. > :13:43.listened to the voice mail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler,
:13:44. > :13:46.she was still thought to be missing. Stuart Kuttner called Surrey Police
:13:47. > :13:57.to tell them about a message, suggesting they follow the lead.
:13:58. > :14:00.This report contains flash photography. News International
:14:01. > :14:07.admits Milly Dowler's phone was hacked, as does Glenn Mulcaire, the
:14:08. > :14:11.hacker. This jury will have to be -- decide whether the editors knew.
:14:12. > :14:32.Today they were made -- read transcripts of the messages.
:14:33. > :14:38.News of the World journalists believed it meant that even as
:14:39. > :14:43.police searched for her, merely was alive and applying for a job. The
:14:44. > :14:48.court heard the paper's managing editor, Stuart Kuttner, told police
:14:49. > :14:52.that the News of the World had his tape recording of the employment
:14:53. > :14:54.agency message. In an e-mail he wrote to the force's press officer,
:14:55. > :15:10.saying: However, Stuart Kuttner denies
:15:11. > :15:15.conspiring to hacked phones. The police thought the message was a
:15:16. > :15:20.hoax. The News of the World rewrote its story for a later edition. The
:15:21. > :15:22.prosecution says it's too senior editors were directly involved in
:15:23. > :15:29.the changing story and knew it resulted from phone hacking. The
:15:30. > :15:32.court was told phone records showed Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson were
:15:33. > :15:37.in constant contact, even though she was on holiday in Dubai. The defence
:15:38. > :15:40.says the records do not prove who was called what was discussed. But
:15:41. > :15:45.we have just heard evidence from William Hennessy, a man who was on
:15:46. > :15:50.holiday when he met Rebekah Brooks with her husband. Over one night, he
:15:51. > :15:54.said she got up to make a phone call to do with the missing Surrey
:15:55. > :15:58.schoolgirl. Both Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson revealed to have been
:15:59. > :16:05.having an affair at the time, deny conspiring to hacked phones.

:17:42. > :17:47.the boss there is still no revival in sales figures. How concerned
:17:48. > :17:51.should they be? A lot has been made of Marks and Spencer autumn 13
:17:52. > :17:56.collection which hit stores fully in September. They make up three weeks

:18:07. > :18:09.of improvement. The new range has been well-received, but Marks and
:18:10. > :18:13.Spencer has a mountain to climb, it wasn't that long ago it dressed the
:18:14. > :18:20.nation. At the end of the 90s, it had a 16% market share in womens'
:18:21. > :18:26.clothing. Over the years that has been decreasing, it's now down to
:18:27. > :18:30.11%. Competition is fierce on the high street, Primark with its fast,

:18:40. > :18:44.Marks and Spencer still faces is how shoppers view the brand. If I say to
:18:45. > :18:49.you Marks and Spencer, what is the first thing that comes into your
:18:50. > :18:54.head? Under wear. The Food. What have you got from Marks and Spencer
:18:55. > :18:59.today? A bra. Probably a bra. Same here, under wear. 10 years ago I
:19:00. > :19:01.wouldn't have thought twice of wearing anything from Marks and
:19:02. > :19:10.Spencer because there wasn't anything that caught my eye. It's
:19:11. > :19:16.getting better. Marks and Spencer's festive ad is about to hit our

:19:31. > :19:34.Director general of the BBC mark bride ford has defended his
:19:35. > :19:40.redundancy deal worth nearly ?1 million. He insisted he had not been
:19:41. > :19:44.greedy and that he had been devoted to the Corporation during the 32
:19:45. > :19:49.years he had world there. The David Sillito reports. Mark Byford, used
:19:50. > :19:54.to be Second-in-Command at the BBC. Three years ago the man in the
:19:55. > :20:01.middle, Mark Thompson, said he was going, with a payoff of ?949,000 and
:20:02. > :20:06.an extra ?73,000 in back holiday bay. Today, we heard for the first
:20:07. > :20:11.time from Mark Byford about that settlement. Your name is now
:20:12. > :20:14.synonymous with managerial greed at the BBC because of the massive
:20:15. > :20:20.payoff you received. How do you feel about that? Well, I aappreciate,
:20:21. > :20:25.obviously, and understand it was a lot of money. I appreciate too,
:20:26. > :20:29.Victoria, let me stress that, the concern and criticism about the
:20:30. > :20:37.executive payoffs. I absolutely don't think that it was greed on my
:20:38. > :20:42.part at all. I lost my job. I was made redundant. I was given the
:20:43. > :20:48.terms I was given by the BBC. The BBC's bosses have in recent months
:20:49. > :20:56.been cross examined about this payoff. Of all the settlements this
:20:57. > :21:01.one caused the most criticism. The question today was, would he give
:21:02. > :21:07.any of it back? He said he had done nothing wrong. Morally, wouldn't it
:21:08. > :21:11.be the right thing to do to pay some of the money back. I think I've
:21:12. > :21:16.answered that question for you. That is a no then? I think I have
:21:17. > :21:28.answered the question as fully as I can. The BBC now say it was
:21:29. > :21:32.excessive. One justification for the settlement was that Mark Byford was
:21:33. > :21:35.in charge of the Royal Wedding. The National Audit Office has questioned
:21:36. > :21:40.the deal. The BBC admits on the wider topic it got it wrong. Should
:21:41. > :21:44.he have taken it? Mark Byford's answer today was simple, he said it
:21:45. > :21:51.wasn't up to him, he was given what he was given. The Labour leader, Ed
:21:52. > :21:55.Miliband, has accused the payday loans industry of leaving thousands
:21:56. > :22:02.of households with debts they can't afford to pay. He told an audience
:22:03. > :22:10.in London that what he described as Britain's Wonka econo -- "Wo in ga
