If Police are called in after Colchester hospital staff say they

:00:00.:00:09.

were bullied into falsifying data on cancer patients. Inspectors say the

:00:10.:00:15.

hospital's records on cancer waiting times for were inaccurate - it meant

:00:16.:00:23.

treatment delays for some patients. I am shocked that cancer patients

:00:24.:00:27.

diagnosis and treatment should be delayed. Shocked also that they

:00:28.:00:30.

should have apparently have been covered up.

:00:31.:00:33.

Also tonight: She's called Sweetie and she's a computer model designed

:00:34.:00:37.

to catch paedophiles - 100 British men are reported to police.

:00:38.:00:40.

Attacked by a dog in her own home in Leicestershire - a young girl dies

:00:41.:00:48.

in hospital. Hundreds of shipyard jobs across the

:00:49.:00:52.

UK are threatened. The announcement could come this week.

:00:53.:00:59.

And India's mission to Mars - if it's successful, the country will

:01:00.:01:05.

join the space race superpowers. Coming up later, there is a rare

:01:06.:01:12.

black day for AP McCoy. Three rides at Exeter but his weight for a 4000

:01:13.:01:14.

winner goes on. Good evening. A hospital trust in

:01:15.:01:41.

Essex has been reported to police. It comes after staff complained they

:01:42.:01:45.

were bullied into changing records relating to waiting times for cancer

:01:46.:01:50.

patients. The inaccuracies were uncovered by inspectors who said the

:01:51.:01:55.

changes made it look like the hospital was meeting national

:01:56.:01:59.

guidelines on cancer treatment. The chief inspector of England's

:02:00.:02:02.

hospitals said it was shocking that people's lives could be put at risk.

:02:03.:02:10.

How safe is care at this hospital queue Mac a question already asked

:02:11.:02:16.

in Colchester. One of 14 trust investigated this year for higher

:02:17.:02:20.

than expected death rates. Now hospital inspectors have also found

:02:21.:02:24.

failings in cancer care, delays in treatment which may have been

:02:25.:02:27.

covered up by changing waiting time records. Those cancer care delays

:02:28.:02:34.

were uncovered after 61 individual patient records were checked to see

:02:35.:02:38.

when treatment happened. 22 cases did not match waiting target

:02:39.:02:44.

records. Evidence was found some were changed so the hospital did not

:02:45.:02:49.

get into trouble. 13 next of kin of patients who had already died have

:02:50.:02:55.

been offered a full review of their care. The Chief Inspector of

:02:56.:02:59.

Hospitals is a cancer doctor himself. He led the introduction of

:03:00.:03:04.

targets for faster cancer treatment. I was shocked to find out what was

:03:05.:03:08.

happening at Colchester. Shocked that cancer patients's diagnosis and

:03:09.:03:14.

treatment should be delayed, but shocked also that this should have

:03:15.:03:20.

apparently have been covered up. The report gives shocking examples. A

:03:21.:03:25.

patient on well but sent home. The wrong test results gave an all

:03:26.:03:31.

clear. Not long afterwards, an emergency operation revealed

:03:32.:03:34.

cancer. Patients who were not told of their delays. Three staff who

:03:35.:03:38.

said they were put under pressure to change records. Some of these delays

:03:39.:03:42.

were meaningful in terms of the care patients receive. I apologise for

:03:43.:03:48.

that. We have let patients down. In addition, some of our staff may have

:03:49.:03:53.

inappropriately changed cancer data and they may have been bullied and

:03:54.:03:57.

harassed to do that. That is abhorrent behaviour and we do not

:03:58.:04:01.

tolerated. We will stamp it out. Today unions said the investigation

:04:02.:04:06.

raised disturbing questions about pressure on staff. I cannot think of

:04:07.:04:12.

a more despicable thing to do than to distort figures on what people

:04:13.:04:16.

should be doing is setting the target our site and concentrating on

:04:17.:04:19.

doing what hospitals are there to do, to treat people. Colchester

:04:20.:04:26.

hospital is trying to reassure staff and patients while Essex Police look

:04:27.:04:30.

into whether any criminal offence has been committed. And Branwen is

:04:31.:04:36.

with me now. What do we know about the investigation by the police

:04:37.:04:44.

queue Mac --? It is in its preliminary stages. My understanding

:04:45.:04:47.

is that the staff who raised concerns have been spoken to by the

:04:48.:04:51.

police. Essex Police have documents that were passed to them by the CQC

:04:52.:04:58.

which documents changes made. Obviously it is a very serious

:04:59.:05:04.

matter to alter records. It is plainly wrong. Whether or not that

:05:05.:05:08.

amounts to any criminal offence, is something the police will have to

:05:09.:05:12.

look at very seriously. There is not a criminal investigation yet. This

:05:13.:05:16.

raises all kinds of questions about what was going on at the hospital.

:05:17.:05:21.

These were recent failings covering this year and last year. The cancer

:05:22.:05:25.

treatment was put in place to make sure that people were treated

:05:26.:05:30.

quickly. Staff in this hospital obviously filed under pressure to

:05:31.:05:33.

change records when they were not meeting those targets. That tells us

:05:34.:05:38.

something about pressure around the culture of targets in the NHS today.

:05:39.:05:44.

Thank you very much. More than 100 British men have been caught in a

:05:45.:05:47.

sting operation launched by a charity trying to get -- catch

:05:48.:05:53.

paedophiles using the internet. They were among a thousand men trying to

:05:54.:05:59.

pay a computerised girl for sex. You may find this report disturbing. At

:06:00.:06:04.

a secret location on the outskirts of Amsterdam, a research poses as

:06:05.:06:10.

prey to catch a predator. Online, this is who he becomes, Sweetie, a

:06:11.:06:17.

10-year old girl from the Philippines. Researchers could not

:06:18.:06:20.

possibly have used a real child for this, so they created Sweetie. But

:06:21.:06:24.

tens of thousands of men who contacted her, thought they were

:06:25.:06:28.

really talking to a ten-year-old girl in the Philippines. The

:06:29.:06:34.

research wants to remain anonymous because of the paedophiles he is

:06:35.:06:44.

exposing. Here, he logs into a chat room. Within seconds, like sharks,

:06:45.:06:51.

men are circling. It is terrifying, yes, it is really scary. It breaks

:06:52.:06:55.

your stereotypical image of a predator. Before, I thought they

:06:56.:07:01.

were all 45-year-old males with long coats and a little bit dodgy. Now it

:07:02.:07:05.

appears these guys have normal jobs, normal families. The diversity is

:07:06.:07:13.

enormous. I am not real. I am a computer model. The charity behind

:07:14.:07:18.

the stain has launched a global campaign to try to stop this abuse.

:07:19.:07:24.

-- Mac the sting. 20,000 men contacted Sweetie. More than a

:07:25.:07:30.

quarter were from the USA. 110 were British. And significant numbers

:07:31.:07:35.

came from India, Canada and Australia. All of their names and

:07:36.:07:40.

addresses have been passed to police. A former senior officer he

:07:41.:07:45.

says the British authorities need to do more. Tactics like this have to

:07:46.:07:54.

be used to bring more resources to bear, so the paedophiles no longer

:07:55.:07:59.

feels they are safe going online. This charity has led the way. They

:08:00.:08:05.

should be applauded. Sweetie will not be used again. She has done her

:08:06.:08:09.

job, showing the predators that they too can easily become prey.

:08:10.:08:18.

BBC News has learned that hundreds of shipbuilding jobs are to be lost

:08:19.:08:22.

across the UK. Nick Robinson, who has just broken the story, is here.

:08:23.:08:29.

People are going to want to know where these job cuts are going to

:08:30.:08:35.

fall? They are. Ship workers around the country, particularly in

:08:36.:08:39.

Scotland, on the Clyde, and in Portsmouth, have been waiting for a

:08:40.:08:43.

long time. They have been waiting to see if a hold shipyard would close.

:08:44.:08:48.

I do not have the full details of what will be announced on Thursday

:08:49.:08:52.

morning. But the job losses will be in many hundreds, possibly over a

:08:53.:08:57.

thousand. And in addition, Govan shipyard on the River Clyde in

:08:58.:09:02.

Scotland, will not close. That is very significant. Earlier this week

:09:03.:09:06.

the famous cranes of Govan, it was announced, will be removed. The

:09:07.:09:11.

rumour went round that it would go. It matters not just to the community

:09:12.:09:15.

there, but to the debate about the future of the UK because it is at

:09:16.:09:20.

the centre of the argument about Scottish independence. There have

:09:21.:09:23.

always been warnings about those who want the UK to stay together that if

:09:24.:09:27.

Scotland goes independent, it will lose its shipyards. I am told the

:09:28.:09:32.

Government is very well aware of the politics of the Clyde. They do not

:09:33.:09:38.

want to give Alex Salmond a gift by closing the shipyard. They have

:09:39.:09:42.

decided to keep it open. That may lead men and women in England to

:09:43.:09:47.

say, have we paid the price for the politics of Scotland? Two policemen

:09:48.:09:52.

involved in the plebgate row have expressed their regret at the

:09:53.:09:56.

distress caused to Andrew Mitchell and his family over allegations made

:09:57.:10:01.

against the former cabinet minister. One of the officers refused to

:10:02.:10:04.

apologise directly to the former Chief Whip. The police watchdog is

:10:05.:10:09.

indebted -- investigating claims that the police had misled

:10:10.:10:15.

Parliament. Two policemen, both accused of

:10:16.:10:18.

trying to bring down a Cabinet minister, both accused of misleading

:10:19.:10:23.

Parliament. Today they came to Westminster to express some regret

:10:24.:10:26.

but no unqualified apology. The committee appears to believe we are

:10:27.:10:33.

indifferent to Mr Mitchell's predicament and the distress caused

:10:34.:10:37.

to him and his family, we are not. I am not. Each of us fully recognises

:10:38.:10:43.

and regrets the fact such distress has been caused. Andrew Mitchell's

:10:44.:10:47.

wife was in the committee to hear that herself. She got more than

:10:48.:10:53.

regret from the second policeman. You don't want to apologise for any

:10:54.:10:59.

distress. The policeman had met Andrew Mitchell at his constituency

:11:00.:11:03.

office last autumn after the then Tory Chief Whip was accused of

:11:04.:11:09.

calling officers plebs, something he has always denied. After the

:11:10.:11:13.

meeting, the police said Mr Mitchell had not explained himself. Secret

:11:14.:11:20.

recordings proved he had. MPs felt they had given misleading answers

:11:21.:11:23.

last week, one about his disciplinary record, the other about

:11:24.:11:27.

calling the Home Secretary that woman. There was no intention to

:11:28.:11:31.

mislead the committee. I repeat my unqualified apology for this

:11:32.:11:36.

inaccuracy. It was not my intention to mislead the committee. If I

:11:37.:11:40.

misled the committee, it was because I did not understand the questions.

:11:41.:11:46.

I apologise for that. This so-called plebgate row is not just about the

:11:47.:11:50.

career of the politician -- a politician, it is more about the

:11:51.:11:54.

police and how much public trust they have lost. And so worried is

:11:55.:12:01.

the police watchdog, the IPCC, that it said it will investigate the

:12:02.:12:04.

claims that these men misled Parliament, as well as what they

:12:05.:12:10.

said about Andrew Mitchell. Plebgate is not over yet.

:12:11.:12:17.

A young girl has died after being attacked by a dog thought to be her

:12:18.:12:22.

family's pet. Police were called to her home in Leicestershire this

:12:23.:12:26.

afternoon. The girl was taken to hospital but died later. Sian Lloyd

:12:27.:12:31.

is there. What more do we know about this distressing case? Police were

:12:32.:12:40.

called to the flat in Mountsorrel at about quarter past 12 this afternoon

:12:41.:12:43.

after reports that a four-year-old girl had been attacked by a dog. She

:12:44.:12:48.

was taken to the Queens medical Centre is nothing but later died. --

:12:49.:12:55.

the Queen's medical centre. We know the girl lived in a flat with her

:12:56.:12:59.

mother. There is a great deal of shock in the community this

:13:00.:13:02.

evening. Many people have been visibly upset. It is not thought

:13:03.:13:07.

this dog is a breed listed under section one of the Dangerous Dogs

:13:08.:13:12.

Act. It is thought to have been the family pet. Neighbours say it was a

:13:13.:13:16.

recent addition to the family. They believe it was recently re-homed

:13:17.:13:23.

here. It is understood the dog has since died. The police are

:13:24.:13:26.

investigating here this evening. They say their inquiry is at an

:13:27.:13:32.

early stage. The hacking trial has heard that the

:13:33.:13:36.

News of the World managing editor told the police the newspaper

:13:37.:13:38.

listened to the voice mail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler,

:13:39.:13:43.

she was still thought to be missing. Stuart Kuttner called Surrey Police

:13:44.:13:46.

to tell them about a message, suggesting they follow the lead.

:13:47.:13:57.

This report contains flash photography. News International

:13:58.:14:00.

admits Milly Dowler's phone was hacked, as does Glenn Mulcaire, the

:14:01.:14:07.

hacker. This jury will have to be -- decide whether the editors knew.

:14:08.:14:11.

Today they were made -- read transcripts of the messages.

:14:12.:14:32.

News of the World journalists believed it meant that even as

:14:33.:14:38.

police searched for her, merely was alive and applying for a job. The

:14:39.:14:43.

court heard the paper's managing editor, Stuart Kuttner, told police

:14:44.:14:48.

that the News of the World had his tape recording of the employment

:14:49.:14:52.

agency message. In an e-mail he wrote to the force's press officer,

:14:53.:14:54.

saying: However, Stuart Kuttner denies

:14:55.:15:10.

conspiring to hacked phones. The police thought the message was a

:15:11.:15:15.

hoax. The News of the World rewrote its story for a later edition. The

:15:16.:15:20.

prosecution says it's too senior editors were directly involved in

:15:21.:15:22.

the changing story and knew it resulted from phone hacking. The

:15:23.:15:29.

court was told phone records showed Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson were

:15:30.:15:32.

in constant contact, even though she was on holiday in Dubai. The defence

:15:33.:15:37.

says the records do not prove who was called what was discussed. But

:15:38.:15:40.

we have just heard evidence from William Hennessy, a man who was on

:15:41.:15:45.

holiday when he met Rebekah Brooks with her husband. Over one night, he

:15:46.:15:50.

said she got up to make a phone call to do with the missing Surrey

:15:51.:15:54.

schoolgirl. Both Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson revealed to have been

:15:55.:15:58.

having an affair at the time, deny conspiring to hacked phones.

:15:59.:16:05.

Our top story this evening. Police are called in after Colchester

:16:06.:16:12.

Hospital staff say they were bullied into fallsifying data on cancer

:16:13.:16:16.

patients, which could have delayed treatment. Still to come: could

:16:17.:16:20.

water be the next household bill to rise or can politicians keep the

:16:21.:16:28.

cost of living down? In Sportsday on BBC News, new dream team for the

:16:29.:16:34.

Republic Martin O'Neill is the new Ireland coach with Roy Keane as his

:16:35.:16:37.

assistant. The giant of the high street, Marks

:16:38.:16:50.

and Spencer, has announced a drop in profits for the first half of this

:16:51.:16:54.

year. They've fallen by almost 9% in the six months to the end of

:16:55.:16:59.

September, to just over ?261 million. There's a clear split

:17:00.:17:06.

between food and fashion, with food doing well and sales by 2.5%. Yet

:17:07.:17:10.

again, clothing and home ware sales are weaker, down by 1.5% compared to

:17:11.:17:15.

the same period last year. Its results are in stark contrast to one

:17:16.:17:23.

of its retail rivals, as our business correspondent Emma Simpson

:17:24.:17:25.

reports. Marks and Spencer enlisted a cast of leading ladies to promote

:17:26.:17:31.

the all-important autumn winter collection. No expense spurred. For

:17:32.:17:41.

the boss there is still no revival in sales figures. How concerned

:17:42.:17:47.

should they be? A lot has been made of Marks and Spencer autumn 13

:17:48.:17:51.

collection which hit stores fully in September. They make up three weeks

:17:52.:17:56.

of the trading period of that collection. Mark Bowland has bought

:17:57.:18:01.

himself a little bit of time. Company says there are early signs

:18:02.:18:06.

of improvement. The new range has been well-received, but Marks and

:18:07.:18:09.

Spencer has a mountain to climb, it wasn't that long ago it dressed the

:18:10.:18:13.

nation. At the end of the 90s, it had a 16% market share in womens'

:18:14.:18:20.

clothing. Over the years that has been decreasing, it's now down to

:18:21.:18:26.

11%. Competition is fierce on the high street, Primark with its fast,

:18:27.:18:30.

cheep fashion has been piling on sales. It posted bumper profits

:18:31.:18:35.

after what it described as an "outstanding year." The problem

:18:36.:18:39.

Marks and Spencer still faces is how shoppers view the brand. If I say to

:18:40.:18:44.

you Marks and Spencer, what is the first thing that comes into your

:18:45.:18:49.

head? Under wear. The Food. What have you got from Marks and Spencer

:18:50.:18:54.

today? A bra. Probably a bra. Same here, under wear. 10 years ago I

:18:55.:18:59.

wouldn't have thought twice of wearing anything from Marks and

:19:00.:19:01.

Spencer because there wasn't anything that caught my eye. It's

:19:02.:19:10.

getting better. Marks and Spencer's festive ad is about to hit our

:19:11.:19:16.

screens, a glossy winter fairytale. The pressure is now on. Marks and

:19:17.:19:20.

Spencer needs a better story into the new year. The former Deputy

:19:21.:19:30.

Director general of the BBC mark bride ford has defended his

:19:31.:19:34.

redundancy deal worth nearly ?1 million. He insisted he had not been

:19:35.:19:40.

greedy and that he had been devoted to the Corporation during the 32

:19:41.:19:44.

years he had world there. The David Sillito reports. Mark Byford, used

:19:45.:19:49.

to be Second-in-Command at the BBC. Three years ago the man in the

:19:50.:19:54.

middle, Mark Thompson, said he was going, with a payoff of ?949,000 and

:19:55.:20:01.

an extra ?73,000 in back holiday bay. Today, we heard for the first

:20:02.:20:06.

time from Mark Byford about that settlement. Your name is now

:20:07.:20:11.

synonymous with managerial greed at the BBC because of the massive

:20:12.:20:14.

payoff you received. How do you feel about that? Well, I aappreciate,

:20:15.:20:20.

obviously, and understand it was a lot of money. I appreciate too,

:20:21.:20:25.

Victoria, let me stress that, the concern and criticism about the

:20:26.:20:29.

executive payoffs. I absolutely don't think that it was greed on my

:20:30.:20:37.

part at all. I lost my job. I was made redundant. I was given the

:20:38.:20:42.

terms I was given by the BBC. The BBC's bosses have in recent months

:20:43.:20:48.

been cross examined about this payoff. Of all the settlements this

:20:49.:20:56.

one caused the most criticism. The question today was, would he give

:20:57.:21:01.

any of it back? He said he had done nothing wrong. Morally, wouldn't it

:21:02.:21:07.

be the right thing to do to pay some of the money back. I think I've

:21:08.:21:11.

answered that question for you. That is a no then? I think I have

:21:12.:21:16.

answered the question as fully as I can. The BBC now say it was

:21:17.:21:28.

excessive. One justification for the settlement was that Mark Byford was

:21:29.:21:32.

in charge of the Royal Wedding. The National Audit Office has questioned

:21:33.:21:35.

the deal. The BBC admits on the wider topic it got it wrong. Should

:21:36.:21:40.

he have taken it? Mark Byford's answer today was simple, he said it

:21:41.:21:44.

wasn't up to him, he was given what he was given. The Labour leader, Ed

:21:45.:21:51.

Miliband, has accused the payday loans industry of leaving thousands

:21:52.:21:55.

of households with debts they can't afford to pay. He told an audience

:21:56.:22:02.

in London that what he described as Britain's Wonka econo -- "Wo in ga

:22:03.:22:10.

economy" symbolised the squeeze on living standards. Today, payday loan

:22:11.:22:14.

companies defended their record before MPs. They said the majority

:22:15.:22:18.

of their customers were happy with the service and pay back their loans

:22:19.:22:22.

on time. After the energy suppliers, it's now the turn of the water

:22:23.:22:26.

companies to come under pressure from politicians over household

:22:27.:22:29.

bills. The Environment Secretary has urged them to "look closely" at

:22:30.:22:32.

whether price increases are necessary and called for them to

:22:33.:22:37.

introduce special tariffs for hard pressed families. Water, easy to

:22:38.:22:40.

take for granted on this damp island, today a focus of national

:22:41.:22:44.

debate. The Government urging water companies to hold prices down. No

:22:45.:22:50.

India has successfully launched its first rocket mission bound for Mars.

The most ambitious project for the country's Space Agency to date. It

In most aspects China has beaten India in space fairing. India has a

window to go-ahead of China. There has been controversy over the cost

of the mission when millions of Indians still live in poverty and
