itself. even the ifil’ifi l l .. 3.1: cancerous itself. even the thing he thought he was doing that was right seemed to be dangerous to the patient, even though he was conducting what was apparently unnecessary operations. he was asked many times by his managers to stop doing that and wouldn't and carried on. the question is, how did it continue, ordered the nhs feel to stop them? if he was being wound up by his superiors on numerous occasions flickering out these unnecessary procedures, why was he allowed to continue practising? the daily mirror says he had 1000 victims, a case which involved under 20 patients, but there are many more are waiting to see the outcome. for the conditions we have spoken to, they have said the checks and bala nces they have said the checks and balances and the safeguards are so much different now compared to when he was doing his operations. these cases did back sometime. as you rightly applied, it would be crazy to try a case involving hundreds of

victims. you choose certain sets of victims, were alerted victims, and he tried the case on those specific examples. it seems to me that, even if the system has moved on from them and these historic cases have a different kind of circumstances now to the ones carried out now, we can still learn something from a culture that allows someone to carry out operations which, on the face of it, seem unnecessary, but positively harmful to the patients concerned. let's move on. we will be the opposition said tim farren, leader of the liberal democrats. if you look at page seven, it talks about his hopes, particularly in scotland, for their success in the forthcoming general election. i cannot find anything he says we will be the opposition though, can you?m anything he says we will be the opposition though, can you? it is an eye—catching headline. it is quite a bold claim, but i think the closest

he comes, when he read the story inside is i want to be the leader of the opposition verstappen is slightly different. that is an understandable ambition for any party of opposition, even one with only nine mps, but i guess it is looking at the state of the labour party, looking at the opinion polls and saying, we could get increased representation. the idea they would be timid opposition is pretty fanciful. labour is going to be done and the liberal democrats will go up, but that does not equal the liberal democrats being the party of opposition. my advice to tim farren would be to keep your head down. i mean it to be patronising. every time his personality has emerged on his party brand, but that is his views on sexuality, or is broader

political and social views, he has proved less attractive than his party brand. that is why keep your head down. i don'tjust minutes patronisingly to him, though it is, but i think, furthermore... he ought, properly, to look to the political tide, which is broadly in his favour. he has had a big increase in donations and membership. if you get more than 22 mps he will begin on, but that will not above the labour party. if there is anything like this in his rhetoric, he should turn it down. the point is that, even the labour party for, if it is in line with the fallen, it would be significant. but reflects well on the liberal democrats. that was tied up with

jeremy corbyn, so the tide may not go in tim farren‘s flavour for long. if there is nothing i could in this story, he should not be so hubristic. let's look at the telegraph. germany admitted austerity would destroy greece says arafat is. this is the german finance minister suggesting that he would not have agreed to the deal that greece had to take. the telegraph has got an interview and extracts from yanis varoufakis's memoir, in which it turns out he was

secretly recording conversations when he was great finance minister when he was great finance minister when greece was at risk of tumbling out of the euro and had to accept very harsh austerity measures in return for a bailout and he said that the german finance minister admitted at the time privately, not for public discussion, that if i was you i would not sign this day because this is all about national pride as much as i think that you are being asked to sell your country down the river. it is quite an amazing story. it backs up what a lot of people were saying that greece were made lot of people were saying that greece were made an lot of people were saying that greece were made an example of and it shows, the point the telegraph we re it shows, the point the telegraph were making, it shows how germany will perhaps behave during the brexit discussions when push comes to shove. they will be holding the whip and as far as the eu are concerned. germany did make an

example of greece, but on the other hand, they should never have allowed the greeks in in the first place. in an easy and economic environment, the greeks should have been able to come out, the value and they can't because they are in a common currency that is not governed by economics, it is governed by politics and that's what this revelation shows. the financial times. speaking of brexit, we cannot go through a review without it. work the talk. they pressured for smooth brexit for japanese groups. the talk. they pressured for smooth brexit forjapanese groups. what a seeming like smooth brexit?m implies the need for a transitional arrangement to lessen uncertainty, japan really has three major kinds of interest in the uk. the first is financial. there are japanese banks. the second is automotive. there are many examples of that. it is manufacturing broadly. all of them

wa nt manufacturing broadly. all of them want a sense that they can't be here in the short to medium term without any real uncertainty. they want not just the two years that we will presumably be negotiating with the european partners, but they want a sense they will be transitional agreements and arrangements of difficulty on the two years they can have certainty about factories and their presence. whether that be passport for financial institutions or tariffs imposed on manufacturing. that is not just or tariffs imposed on manufacturing. that is notjust down to theresa may, the smoothness of how it happens, there are 27 other countries involved. as the promised said last night in leeds, the other 27 will be ganging up against us because it is not in their interest to give us everything we want. there will have to be give and take. to give us everything we want. there will have to be give and takem to give us everything we want. there will have to be give and take. if we decided to be awkward, it takes two to tango. if i decide who's in the wrong direction it would be real. it is not an unreasonable perspective

to take. it is a surprise and one from a nation whose diplomacy and the 20th century and onwards has been small target. let's look at the front of the independent. trump's first 100 days. this is a fabulous photograph of him sitting at the desk of the oval office, which the independent has always been good at. as he delivered on his promises? he thinks he has and has been speaking to the national rifle association. they were big supporters of him. his 100 days have flown in, it has to be said. fora 100 days have flown in, it has to be said. for a guy who accuses the media of fake news, which is one of the most horrible terms that have ever the most horrible terms that have ever entered the political lexicon, for him to say that his first 100 days have been a success is fake news. that is not, by any stretch of the imagination, his first 100 days have not been a success. his

su ccesso rs have not been a success. his successors “— have not been a success. his successors —— his supporters think he has been a success. if you judge it by the economic performance of the united states, there was widespread speculate in the trump won the election the economy would thank. instead, after an afternoon of fluctuation on the market, the us economy picked up significantly after trump won last year and has continued to perform well subscribed to that. he was handed a pretty good economic situation. you can only look at the time frame he has been in. the economy was growing at an atomic comment on when he took over. it had been a remarkable turnaround if he turned around. i was quite at a different point, which is one of the qualities this president has shown, which might surprise people, is his ability to change his mind. he said it was obsolete. even

without the minister and as you convince them otherwise. he said he would pull out of nafta, the mexicans and the canadians made strong representations to him and he, admitted it via a tweet, which might not be presidential, but he indicated he was willing to reconsider his position. i think it isa reconsider his position. i think it is a strong thing to be able to say i was wrong about something and i think that is something that, in leadership, we undervalue. shelby d sports story? there is a mass of boxing match in wembley tomorrow night. klitschko versusjoshua. 0ne is a7, night. klitschko versusjoshua. 0ne is 47, 41, night. klitschko versusjoshua. 0ne is a7, a1, the other is 27 and they are both very big man. i would not wa nt to ta ke are both very big man. i would not want to take a punch from either of them. klitschko, he is a class act. it is an unpopular view in britain.

joshuais it is an unpopular view in britain. joshua is a national hero, olympic gold medallist. he is to stone heavier than his normal fighting with and as lennox lewis who fought his last fight a lot heavier against klitschko's elder brother would point out, that is a strange position to go into a fight. my instinct is klitschko will screw them. i hope not. of course i cheer for the brit, but my instinct is klitschko is a classy act, a conservative boxer who can stand off. all the pressure is onjoshua. supportjoshua off. all the pressure is onjoshua. support joshua but off. all the pressure is onjoshua. supportjoshua but have a fiver on klitschko. it is a golden era for bush boxing for the first time in 20 years. you will be watching? i will be watching, definitely. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week at bbc.c.uk forward slash papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer.

thank you kevin and alex. goodbye. good evening. we started our working we gone cold and wintry theme. we ended on a quiet story. a lot of cloud around to the west with the best breaks to the east, predominantly dry. the showers few and far between. that was good news for those who headed off for the first day of the tour de yorkshire. perfect weather conditions as you can see from the weather watchers picture. temperatures were pleasant around the mid teens and it looks as though it would be a similar story as we move into the rikan. if you are heading that it will be fine and dry. more of the breeze through the latter stages of the weekend. for the here and now it stays quiet. some can't run overnight and

temperatures will not fall very far at all. the breeze will pick up to the west and it will strengthen as we go through saturday but these temperatures first thing on saturday morning, five to 9 degrees. frost free and there should be some sunshine coming through right across the country. showers, favourite spots will be in northern ireland, south—west scotland, perhaps close to the lake district has begun into the afternoon but temperatures will pick up with a southerly breeze, highs of 17 degrees north out of the question. the wind will strengthen in the sunday and i understand there isa in the sunday and i understand there is a pretty important boxing match taking place at wembley, which is outside. it looks as though it should stay dry bread throughout the evening, but the strengthening wind will be noticeable if you will be sitting as a spectator. the rain arrives to the early hours of sunday morning, pushing into south and across into south wales as well. perhaps not reaching much of the uk during daylight hours. it will stay quite warm to the south—east, maybe

it will stay quite warm to the south—east, maybe into sheltered western areas of scotland as well. by western areas of scotland as well. by bank of the monday, the the system weakens off, the band of showers by then. still breezy with it, but all in all, not a bad day for a bank holiday monday. top temperatures of around ten to 15 degrees. but just summarise for this extended weekend. but it looks as though we will continue to see the wind strengthened, but it will be warmer than it has been in recent days. there will be rain around, predominantly into the far south—west. what should we be getting at this time of year? generally, the average temperatures for bicolour demand are sitting at around ten to 60 degrees and that is what we will. this is bbc news.

the headlines at 11:00pm: a breast cancer surgeon accused of playing god with people's lives is found guilty of carrying out completely unnecessary operations on hundreds of women. the scars i thought were there for a badge of honour, and now because he has mutilated me. i've been through this for nothing. a south korean news agency has reported that north korea has fired a ballistic missile, but us government sources say the test appears to have failed. britain's economic growth slowed sharply in the first three months of the year, growing byjust 0.3%. a rapturous welcome for president trump on the eve of his 100th day in office, as he addressed america's powerful gun lobby, the national rifle association.
