and i think being a doctor is one of the best ways to do that, being able to give back... essentially, everyone in the community, at some point, everyone will need a doctor. and i hope that i can be a good one. as a medical student, she is really keen, she takes the work and the patient's very seriously. she is a good communicator with patients and i do really hope she becomes a gp because we need good gps. commentator: the finish line calls... voiceover: last year, imogene grant helped cambridge beat oxford by 11 lengths in a record time. looks like 15 minutes of pain, is that what it feels like? sometimes, sometimes! you know, you are working at your limit, for 15, 18, 20 minutes, depending on the conditions, but you have the other girls in the boat, shouting and encouraging you on, you have the cox encouraging you on, you are so focused on what you are doing and what the other boat is doing, time passes quicker than you might think.

from the freezing windswept waters of the cambridge offends, imogene and her crew are ready to roll, hard work done, time to deliver once again on the wild and raucous thames in front of an audience of that is all from sportsday for the moment, we will have more news for you all weekend. welcome to the look ahead to what the newspapers will be bringing us tomorrow, with us, the telegraph‘s

treatment, which could prolong the lives of people living with the condition. finally, the express moves with the plight of the nurse trying to raise funds for cancer treatment, which she is unable to get on the nhs. fairly big spread of stories, but we begin with a couple about cambridge analytica, and facebook. first, on the guardian, data firm misled mps over work for " b rex it" data firm misled mps over work for "brexit" campaign, once again, cambridge analytica, can you set the scene cambridge analytica, can you set the scene for us. the guardian has been doing a lot of work on the influence they believe cambridge analytica has had over all sorts of campaigns, whether it is donald trump‘s campaign, brexit, by dint of the work they may or may not have done for one of the campaigns. they haven‘t interview with brittany coates, until recently a senior executive, she has contradicted what the ceo has said, actually, they did

do analysis for the leave campaign, so this will be grist to the mill, given that mps of the culture select committee are keen for the man to come back and it‘s buying himself more, i‘m sure they willjump on this and push it further. but a couple of quick points. we are excited about whether or not they‘d worked for leave.eu but they were irrelevant, a second fiddle, vote leave was the main campaign, months of fighting about it, vote leave, borisjohnson, dominic of fighting about it, vote leave, boris johnson, dominic cummings, they are the ones in the real pipeline. they are the ones who delivered brexit. i would argue, yes, and looking at cambridge analytica, they have been mythologised by the magic, the new technology of facebook and data sensitive polling, given that, if they are so smart, let‘s remember, before donald trump they advised ted cruz, then he should be president, if they apparently are wizards who

can control elections(!) it is not quite the case. so you are co mforta ble quite the case. so you are comfortable with the practices they are said to have carried out, cambridge analytica, saying they have done nothing wrong. they are perfectly entitled to have all sorts of academic credentials and boast what they can about their work, i think a lot of what people are getting excited about is they are overselling themselves. there is not much in research to suggest that their work has... there is no definitive effect of them changing things, obviously it is helpful, it is wonderful, new unprecedented territory, having to understand what motivates voters and trying to understand them and make sure politicians, clients are able to sell the message, but it is not... they seem to be portrayed as the wizard of oz! but... we know what happened with the wizard of oz, he was unmasked! brittany coates says,

there is something... she does, although, i have to say, first of all, when the observer, because the guardian's sister paper did a fantastic story on cambridge analytica, 18 months ago... carol cadwallader. what was interesting, not the fact that they were portrayed as wizards, it was the connection, the family tree, the dna, of all these people, with steve banning very much at the heart of it. trump's campaign chief. what brittany coates is saying, basically, they did do some work, which is pitching, to try to get a contract with leave. —— with leave.eu. contract with leave. —— with leave. eu. the semantics contract with leave. —— with leave.eu. the semantics is, they had told mps, she had lied by supporting the company line that it had done no

paid or unpaid work. now, it appears that this is unpaid work... because she said the work took place as part ofan she said the work took place as part of an effort to secure formal business for the campaign group, it does seem a little bit like everyone isjumping on does seem a little bit like everyone is jumping on the does seem a little bit like everyone isjumping on the bandwagon does seem a little bit like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to does seem a little bit like everyone isjumping on the bandwagon to say, actually, it wasn't me, guv(!)lj can‘t help but think that the reason this is attractive to obsess about, it is tempting to try to delegitimise the brexit referendum, if you say it is them with their hocus—pocus and clever chance and all that, then it is better than looking at the underlying issue. looking at the financial times, this comes on to what is the problem, in the lot of people, looking at how data gets used. and it is something that politicians and political parties for the last 20 or so years have been talking about, which is

treating voters as consumers, what we see now, elon musk, the billionaire, he has deleted his company's facebook page, the first big—name to do that, lots of other companies have said, we are not sure about that, we are not comfortable, but he has gone and done it. a huge amount of advice floating around about how to protect data and stay on facebook. clearly, people like elon musk are reacting to the furore, there is a hashtag, he has been able to do this due to concerns, many companies have made thinly ultimatums, up your game, reassuring people that data will not go into particular hands, then they are pulling advertising. this is
