are on the table. diplomatic and financial leveraged willie backed up by a willingness to cou ntera ct willie backed up by a willingness to counteract north korean aggression with military action. and, an unlikely group of misfits are back together in the outer reaches of the universe. find out what jason solomons made of guardians of the galaxy volume 2, and the rest of the week's cinema releases, in the film review. it's five o'clock. our main story: a breast surgeon has been convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent, and three of unlawful wounding, after carrying out a series of unnecessary operations. nottingham crown court heard that ian paterson lied to patients, and exaggerated or invented the risk of cancer, to convince them to go under the knife. the 59—year—old did so for what the jury was told were "obscure motives" — which may have included a desire to earn extra money. our first report is from our health correspondent dominic hughes. surgeon ian paterson. well—liked and trusted by patients facing the frightening prospect of breast cancer — but for some of them it was an entirely false diagnosis. one such patient is frances perks, who underwent a series of operations and a mastectomy, all of them unnecessary. how can somebody do that? and say things that he did, knowing that you didn't need these operations. how can anybody in their right mind, how can they do that to people? ijust find it unbelievable and how he's made us all suffer and people who have lost their lives. how could...? that's pure evil to me. pure evil. during the trial, the jury heard a succession of patients describe a pattern of behaviour. how ian paterson told them that they were at risk of cancer, had precancerous cells and needed to have lumps or entire breasts removed. expert witnesses told the court that the risk was nonexistent or greatly exaggerated and no reasonable surgeon would have acted in the way ian paterson did. this case revolved around ian paterson's work at two private hospitals in the west midlands, although he also worked for the nhs, where he treated hundreds more patients. the ten patients whose treatment formed the heart of this case were drawn from a sample group of more than 200 people whose medical notes were assessed by a group of experts. but we may never know exactly how many people were affected by the actions of ian paterson over a long career both here in the private sector and in the nhs. he treated thousands of people. police say that even at this late stage his motives remain unclear. he just wanted to play god with their lives. he took pleasure in telling them that they need procedures and he could make them better. he received some perverse pleasure from those practices. since 2011, hundreds of patients, men and women like diane, have been recalled to hospital to be told they were operated on for no good reason. they are struggling to comprehend what has been done to them. i thought, oh, my god. this is all adding up and now making a bit of sense. that what i'd been told was the truth and what i was led to believe from 2002 to 2011 was actually a pack of lies. two highly critical enquiries into ian paterson's nhs and private sector work have been carried out. now the career of this once respected surgeon lies in ruins and his patients are left to deal with the knowledge that they have been assaulted by a man they trusted. joining us now from nottingham is debbie douglas, who was one of ian patterson's patients. it isa it is a very good opportunity to speak to us. you were treated by him for many years. when you first went to him and you were first in the consulting room how did he seem to you and what do you think about him asa you and what do you think about him as a medical professional?” you and what do you think about him as a medical professional? i thought he was very confident, very welcoming, he gave the impression he knew what he was doing and what ever he asked of me i would have done. you would have done it because you trusted him completely?” you would have done it because you trusted him completely? i absolutely trusted him completely? i absolutely trusted him. i lost my mother to cancer in 2001 and my dad in 2002 andi cancer in 2001 and my dad in 2002 and i was diagnosed in 2003 and i was completely vulnerable and everything he asked me to do and all the procedures i went through. i totally believed they would cure my cancer. are you, in full knowledge now of genuinely what you situation was and what sort of operation you had? work the vast majority of operations and necessary they now believe? -- do you now believe? i know understand because i went to great lengths to find out the truth. i know understand my tumour was very small, less than two centimetres and he took my breast off, gave me a full mastectomy and the reconstructed the breast immediately. however, i have since found out he probably took half the breast tissue and therefore i went through all this surgery, a horrendous surgery, for nothing because it still with me risk. and it affected you and presumably your whole family for years? totally affected my family. i have three children and i broke the news to them i had cancer, they had to watch me go through major surgery and then watch me when i went through chemotherapy for seven months. that was horrendous, to having go through major surgery and then chemotherapy, losing my hair, basically being ill, people who have been through chemotherapy know how ha rd been through chemotherapy know how hard it is and also the major surgery. can you even begin to fathom today why he did this to you and to so many other women? i have tried to wrap my brains and think why would somebody do that and why would the essentially destroying patience' lives, put them through a hill, with their families through hell, i know some of it was financial but he obviously made a lot of monetary and salted the health authority but why would you do that —— so did the health authority. why would you be so cruel. you can only say he was evil. whether she had some kind of god complex, no one will know what is going on in his head but he was cited as one of the top surgeons and the country and all the time those records and those reports were known to the health authority, to the nhs, and this don't let them perform because he still brought them money. —— and they still let him perform. they should be ashamed of themselves, when you think about the amount of grief and mental torture, physical torture he has inflicted on patients, they need to hang their heads in shame. they are medical professionals, they knew what was going on and they covered it up. berry, it is so very good of you to talk to us and we wish you and your family the very best for the future. debbie douglas, one of the many woman affected by ian paterson. he will be sentenced at a later date. a terrorism suspect arrested near the houses of parliament yesterday has been identified as khalid mohamed 0mar ali. the 27—year—old was detained as part of an intelligence—led operation, after, it's believed, a concerned family member contacted the police. meanwhile, officers say they've foiled a separate unconnected active terrorist plot, after carrying out an armed raid in north—west london. a woman was shot during the operation, and is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. richard galpin reports. early yesterday evening in north—west london. banging. and armed police begin their raid on a house here. gunshots sparking alarm in the neighbourhood. as i made my way to the living room i heard bang, bang, bang! so i ran to the front window and i saw police officers aiming and i ran to my partner in the kitchen and said there were armed officers and heard another bang, another bang. the sun newspaper obtained this amateur video showing officers pointing their weapons at the house. by the end of the operation, five people had been arrested here. and this appears to show officers attending to someone outside the house. officers had the help of some that were seriously injured in the police raid. they believe they foiled an active terrorist plot. last night at approximately 7pm, our highly trained firearms officers carried out a specialist entry into an address in harlesden road. we had that under observation as part of a current counterterrorism investigation. the armed entry was necessary due to the nature of the intelligence we were dealing with and involved officers firing cs gas into the address. during the course of that operation, one of the subjects, a woman, was shot by police. she remains in hospital. i can say that her condition is serious but stable. it's thought to be the first time a woman has been shot by the police for a decade and it's now being investigated by the independent police complaints commission. meanwhile, the police have been searching three more houses in london, including here in willesden, where yesterday's raid took place. all this came just hours after another incident in central london. earlier yesterday, there had been another incident in central london. a 27—year—old man arrested by armed police near downing street and the foreign office in a separate counterterrorism operation. nearby, they found a rucksack with knives inside. the suspect was apparently khalid mohammed 0mar ali. he was known to the police. he was arrested after a tip—off from a family. what you saw today and yesterday is police preventing a terrorist attack, which is important because when a person gets to the point of blowing themselves up or shooting people it's too late, we willjust have victims. what we need to do is what we saw, police intervening before the attack happens. this has been a traumatic period for londoners. memories are still fresh of the five people killed in the attack near parliamentjust a few weeks ago and now it seems the police are uncovering many more alleged plots in the capital. the economy suffered a worse than expected slowdown in the first three months of the year. figures from the 0ns show gross domestic product grew byjust 0.3%, with the service and retail sectors particularly affected. 0ur economics correspondent andy verity reports. this sector is now the bright spot of our economy. this manufacturer makes internal parts for cars from land rovers to the nissan qashqai. the drop in the value of the pound before and after the brexit vote should have helped business a lot because it is cheaper for buyers using dollars and euros to buy the cars that these parts go into. but even here, new orders are not growing as much as they did a year ago. there are potential customers with orders who say, let's wait for 12 months, see what happens with brexit, see what happens with tariffs, see whether we can buy from the uk orfrom europe. we are saying we will continue to invest and grow. what we need is more commitment from the government to get deals done. business leaders keep trying to tell politicians that brexit—led uncertainty is slowing down new orders for their goods and putting off big companies from investing. the figures are ominous. they suggest that the way the british economy has been kept afloat since brexit vote, a lot of consumer spending, spending by credit, high house prices, is not really sustainable. political opponents sought to play up or play down the significance of the slow—down. i think it's really worrying for the average householder. it does show you why theresa may has gone through this early election. the economy is now on the turn. you can see why she has rushed to an election. i think the gdp figures should be setting alarm bells ringing and it underlines the importance of making sure that there are voices arguing for a common—sense outcome. the government was far more upbeat. britain's economy is forecast to grow at 2% this year, employment is at record highs and that's set to go higher still. the british economy is resilient. for years, retail has driven growth but now consumers are hitting the brakes. looking at the figures, there is a sense that the economy is stabilising at a very strong level. but when we look at the figures, there is a strong sense that we are at a turning point for the economy. if you are an optimist, the shift from consumer spending to manufacturing is welcome, a rebalancing the previous government tried but failed to achieve. that won't be much comfort to households whose real incomes are shrinking once again. 0ur political correspondent, leila nathoo, joins us now from westminster. these are the last quarter we should use a good into the general election. as you would expect the election. as you would expect the election is already becoming a battle ground and this is a window of opportunity for labour and the lib dems to seize on the figures and see it as proof the tories' economic plan is not working. the figures cover the period when theresa may set out the detail about her brexit plan and we were leaving the single market and according to the lib dems this is a brexit beginning to take effect for all those predictions we heard about the dip in the new economy, they say this is that bearing fruit. up until now the conservatives were able to point to the fact that the economy was doing better than predicted and now they say the health of the economy depends on getting the best of brexit deal and only they can be trusted to do that. they are throwing everything at the fact, quietening labour's credibility on the economy but labour seat they would make the economy work for the many and not the few. —— questioning labour's credibility. expecting much in the coming weeks about which party is best to steer the country's economy through brexit. the us secretary of state rex tillerson has warned of "catastrophic consequences", unless the world acts together to force north korea to abandon its nuclear programmes. mr tillerson made the comments while chairing a special meeting of the un security council in new york. he urged countries to take steps to further isolate north korea, and said using military force could not be ruled out. all options for responding to future provocation must be on the table. diplomatic and financial levers of power will be backed up by a willingness to counteract north korea's aggression with military action is necessary. we much prefer a negotiated solution to the problem but we are committed to defending ourselves and our allies against north korean aggression. this new pressure campaign will be swiftly implemented and painful to north korean interest. i realise some nations for which a relationship with north korea has been in some ways a positive may be disinclined to implement the measures of pressure on north korea. but the catastrophic effects of a north korean nuclear strike outweigh any economic benefits. we must be willing to face the hard truths and make hard choices right now to prevent disastrous outcomes in the future. business as usual is not an option. this is bbc news at five — the headlines: the breast surgeon ian paterson has been convicted of intentionally wounding patients by carrying out unnecessary operations. police say they have foiled an active terror plot after a raid in north—west london. a 20 year—old—woman remains in hospital after being shot by firearms officers. britain's economic growth slows sharply — as the economy expands byjust 0.3%. in sport,

leader paul nuttall has launched his party's campaign for the general election, describing it as the "brexit election" and a great opportunity for ukip. mr nuttall said he will announce tomorrow which seat he'll been standing in for parliament. 0ur political correspondent eleanor garnier reports. some say there's never a dull day with ukip. ukip want to blame migrants, refugees and muslims for all the problems in society. protesters from stand up to racism did their best to ruin ukip's election launch but their party leader paul nuttall is determined to stay bold. we will continue to lead the agenda. he is promising ukip would curb immigration, put more police on the streets and ban women wearing full face veils, fronting accusations that ukip itself is sowing division. it is all about equality, breaking down barriers, integrating people in society, because as you know, a number of reports recently, trevor phillips, dame casey, have shown that integration is failing. communities are becoming more and more divided. but wasjune 2016 the party's peak? since the referendum result, ukip has been troubled by division. it has had three different leaders, the party's only mp has quit and its 20 meps will soon be redundant because of brexit. many have said there is now no point to ukip, having won the eu referendum. but the party insists it is needed to keep the pressure on the prime minister and ensure she delivers on ukip's vision of brexit. ukip will go into this election with clear policies, it will go into this election with distinctly radical policies, whether that is on immigration, british culture, whether that is on constitutional reform, whether that is on the nhs, defence spending and whatnot. there will be clear blue water between where ukip stands and the other political parties. he has insisted he will stand but will not yet reveal where. it is perhaps significant that the party thinks it should give way in certain marginal seats to give the so—called real brexiteers from whichever parties the best chance of getting elected. the president of the european council, donald tusk, has said that before negotiations can begin about future relations with the uk, there must be an agreement on "people, money and ireland." mr tusk‘s message came in a letter to 27 eu leaders — but not the uk. he'll chair a summit of the 27 in brussels tomorrow, to try to adopt a joint negotiating position on brexit. 0ur correspondent ben brown joins me now from brussels. 0n the meeting will be fairly short and sharp. it isjust an extended working lunch with the leaders of the 27 countries will sign off this negotiating position on brexit. there has been a lot of preparatory work on about by the eu 27 including foreign ministers and europe ministers who met in luxembourg earlier this week and donald tusk, the council president, making it very clear to the britain cannot have parallel talks on a future trade relationship at the same time as talking about the terms of its divorce settlement from the eu. that includes the divorce bill. the divorce must be taught about first and substantial progress made and then they will talk about trade. he said before discussing ourfuture then they will talk about trade. he said before discussing our future we must first sort out the past. pretty clear from donald tusk. must first sort out the past. pretty clearfrom donald tusk. let must first sort out the past. pretty clear from donald tusk. let us talk to our european correspondent. the eu 27 trying to see all the time they are ready united as a block of 27 in their negotiating stance. that is the message they want to send and we'll send tomorrow by a green that so we'll send tomorrow by a green that so quickly and effectively stamping it and seeing we are done. —— by agreeing. nine months to come up with the brexit letter of its own, they see it took them a one month to agree the response to that brexit letter. to be honest i think they are all on the same page and there is no surprise, they say privately, but were quickly all 27 have come to this one position. tough talking bottle this week from angela merkel, saying there are some in britain who have illusions about the kind of deal they might get. there was a clear message when she told the german parliament that, that she did european leaders are worried about some things, they are worried about these delusions. she was talking there about ideas some politicians in the uk say they can get almost the same benefits as before once we leave. she said that would be a waste of time to begin even talking about that because once you're out of the single market we do not end up of the single market we do not end up in the same position. the other worry is about the language around this idea of a payment is the uk will have two minute. they are very worried it is being presented in the uk at the brexit bill, divorce bill, a fee to leave and they say it is not bad, it is a settlement of accounts, what the uk has signed up to in years of negotiating and being a member here, things that extend into the future, payments for farmers, scientists, all sorts of projects and that must be honoured. that is the stuff tomorrow they will say we have to clearly see the uk will honour that and then we can talk about the future. thank you. as we say, a very brief summer tomorrow, we expected to be only three and a half hours and the only item on the agenda is brexit. thank you. tomorrow marks the 100th day of donald trump's presidency. traditionally the landmark gives an opportunity to assess the start of the presidency and reflect on what progress the commander—in—chief has made with their campaign pledges. the president gave his assessment of how he thinks that has gone. we are going very well, a lot of things have happened. i don't think there has ever been anything like this. i have to tell you i don't bang it —— anybody has done what we have been able to do in 100 days. lets talk to katty kay who presents 100 days every monday to thursday at seven. she joins us from washington. what are some of the concrete things the trump administration are so pleased with? he is right there has not been something like this and he has had some successes. 0n not been something like this and he has had some successes. on day 77 the new supreme courtjustice was confirmed by congress, and conservatives are very happy with that. that is probably his biggest success. he also signed many executive orders but some have been caught up in the courts, like the immigration ban. the group issued as legislation. 0n the campaign he promised to build the war with mexico and repeal the health care act. those are things he wanted to have in place and started within these first 100 days and none of those have happened. his record is mixed and others, fdr, for example, have certainly achieved more in their first 100 have certainly achieved more in theirfirst100 days. have certainly achieved more in their first 100 days. how much do we know about what the public make of it all? it is so fascinating. the polls show the country is as divided today on the 99, i cannot believe it is only the 99, it has been so busy, but the country is just as divided as the day after the election. his supporters are generally still very happy with him and only 2% of people who voted for donald trump say they regret doing so. the people but oppose him are still opposing him, there are rallies planned here in washington this weekend in opposition to donald trump and we have seen a kind of a revival of liberal opposition to the president and that is because of mr trump. he said he would bring the country together but that is certainly not something he has managed so far. very interesting. thank you very much. and there will be a special edition of the 100 days programme tonight at 19:00 with katy kay and christian fraser. much more to come in the next half hour. early yesterday if feels like i can talk about easter holidays, but it isa bank talk about easter holidays, but it is a bank holiday so another weekend just around the corner. it looks quite reasonable, a good bit of dry weather on saturday. there is some rain in the story into mostly the southwest, somebody quite heavy but it will be welcome to a certain degree. we are starting to get desperate for somewhat for the crops and gardens. not much around on saturday, sunny spells and a light southerly breeze, if you're isolated showers and temperatures actually responding quite nicely, particularly in comparison to just a few days ago. highs of 9—17dc. the wind will spend another night, as saturday into sunday, and we could see some rain, some of it quite heavyin see some rain, some of it quite heavy in the southwest, across wales through the day. for the bulk of the country, we still keep it dry and sunny, that from shift north and east on bank holiday monday, leaving sunny spells and scattered showers and still reasonably pleasant with 10-15dc. this is bbc news at five — the headlines. the breast surgeon ian paterson has been convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent, for carrying out a series of unnecessary and ife—changing operations. the scars i thought were there because they were a badge of honour and now i know he's mutiliated me, i've been through this for nothing. scotland yard say they have foiled an active terror plot after a woman was shot during a raid on a hour in north—west london. a woman was shot and six other people were arrested. britain's economic growth slows sharply —— as the economy expands byjust nought point three percent. the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, tells a un security council meeting that all options for responding to provocation from north korea remain on the table. and coming up, film critic jason solomons will be here to look at the latest releases, including the guardians of the galaxy volume 2, in the film review. let's catch up with the day's sports news. the countdown continues to the world heavyweight title fight between britain's anthonyjoshua and former champion wladimir klitschko at wembley stadium tomorrow night — the fighters have weighed—in this afternoon withjoshua ten pounds heavier than his ukrainian opponent. klitschko weighed—in at 17 stone two pounds. it's his his first fight since losing his belts to britain's tyson fury in 2015. but this is klitschko's 69th professional fight, joshua has had just 18. joshua scaled 17 stone, 12 pounds — the heaviest he's ever been for a fight and is the bookies favourite to win — but an interested spectator will be american deontay wilder. he holds the wbc belt and would be keen to take on the winner in a unification bout. most definitely. i think this has been marinating to a lot of people's heads. who is it up to? the promoters, manager, networks. i think they are putting stuff together now. it won't be a delay, people are demanding this. especially ifjosh wins, there will bea especially ifjosh wins, there will be a bigger man. never the 0wls is going to be able to fight by wilder. that is why i want to get that belt. i want to be another bill to the table. the winner takes all. and staying with wembley because tottenham have confirmed they'll play their home games there next season. spurs

sport for now. join us at 6:30 for a boxing special sportsday as 0llie foster is live at wembley ahead of tomorrow's big fight. a fund set up to improve patient access to cancer drugs has been condemned as a ‘huge waste of money'. the cancer drugs fund ran in england from 2010 to 2016, and cost more than £1.2 billion, but most of the drugs it approved failed to show clinical benefit. 0ur medical correspondent fergus walsh reports. the cancer drugs fund was set up to pay for expensive medicines that the nhs was not funding. in part, it was a political response to repeated negative headlines about patients being denied treatment. nearly 100,000 patients received drugs, but the study in the journal annals of oncology found just one in five treatments delivered a significant benefit, extending life by an average of three months. researchers say it was an example of policy made on the hoof, and it failed. it was a major missed opportunity for the national health service and the cancer community to learn in the real world about the actual impact of new medicines. a great deal of money, over £1 billion, was expended on this. and we didn't collect the data to look at individual cancer patients. that's a missed opportunity. the study concludes many patients may have suffered unnecessary side—effects from drugs. but a leading breast cancer charity said the fund has had a totally transformational impact for many, offering precious extra time with loved ones for terminally ill patients. the fund was brought under the remit of the national institute for health and care excellence last year, so there is greater scrutiny over which treatments are approved. with me now is baroness delyth morgan, a cross bench peer and chief executive of the charity, breast cancer now. of the many things that are pretty shocking about the use of money here. one of the things that is staggering is that something on that scale can be undertaken and there is no data collection, no analysis of how or whether it is working. absolutely, and the real issue is that this scheme set up as a sticking plaster to tide us over while a whole drug access system was reviewed and the new process of value —based pricing was introduced. that didn't work. we've ended up with the scheme be handed back to nice when the problems are still not sorted out and they still have patients in the middle of this you cannot access the innovative drugs that they want to have access to as quickly as they can't. how does that happen? people watching won't understand how something that runs for six years come across more than £1 billion, there is no monitoring of it at all? how is that allow to happen? it is allowed to happen because i had to assume that those in control, also the department of health, number ten, who wanted to set up the scheme, didn't the details that they needed to get this thing going. the imperative i think at the time was to look at... and we needed to get a situation where patients who might be... had very limited time, would have access to these drugs that are available elsewhere and it wasn't the right solution and that is why now what we need is the opportunity, the government, who ever it is, to take the opportunity that we see in the new negotiations coming up with the pharmaceutical industry to get a good dealfor the pharmaceutical industry to get a good deal for the nhs pharmaceutical industry to get a good dealfor the nhs and pharmaceutical industry to get a good deal for the nhs and for patients so that they are not left in the middle. have we learned anything from this? i know it is not you personally, but what has been learned from this? there has to be a missed opportunity. we could have been monitoring these drugs. the research that was being talked about there, there is a lot of learning in here, it is a complex ecosystem around drug pricing at access, and we've got to take responsibility. that includes the government, the pharmaceutical industry, and charities and patients, they got to work together to get a solution that gives us access to the innovation that the nhs should be able to deliver as quickly as it has achieved in our neighbours in france, germany, that is something we've got to make happen. and you are ahead of a breast cancer charity, but even you, do you feel it is appropriate after all of this that cancer drugs are somehow separated out? don't won best value from whatever drug? personally, we have never wanted cancer drugs to be separated out. the innovation that you can see in cancer should be learning is that should translate for all disease types. just because it isa for all disease types. just because it is a learning in cancer, it should be available to benefit all patients, and that is why i think singing out cancer is not the answer and that is why nice and the cat steps forward that have been made are good, but we need the system to ta ke are good, but we need the system to take on board innovation more effectively and that is how the life sciences industry that is so important to the economy in this country, we hear the economy is slowing down, the last thing we need is for the industry to slow down because we need those new drugs and we need a clinical trial to take place in the uk so that patients can access to the best and most innovative as quickly as possible. thank you for coming in. across the uk, campaigning is in full swing — but before the general election, voters in scotland will go to the polls to elect councillors in all 32 local authorities. for many, next thursday's council elections are about much more than choosing who looks after schools and makes sure the rubbish is collected. steven godden is in glasgow for us, scene of one of the most intriguing contests. it is one of the big questions in this election is what happens to the labour party here in glasgow? for decades they have controlled glasgow city council for a long time, decades they have controlled glasgow city councilfor a long time, it decades they have controlled glasgow city council for a long time, it was considered one of their heartlands, but in us mr election, labour lost all of these seeds to the snp and there are predictions that this contest could be equally bruising. i went to one area in glasgow has put the voters and candidates to get a sense of how that contest is shaping up. 0n glasgow's southern fringe sits the ward of newlands auldburn. traditionally voters here have helped labour keep control of the city council. but against a busy political backdrop, could that be about to change? 0n the face of it, this election is about choosing who is responsible for looking after parks, who is responsible for schools and collecting the bins, but it's become wrapped up in wider national questions like the general election and the prospect of a second independence referendum. in recent years, labour have suffered heavy losses at uk and scottish elections. 0nce known as "red clydeside", glasgow city council now represents a last bastion of power for the party. the fixation that the conservatives and the snp both have with independence referendum issues is something which can confuse people about which elections they are actually fighting on. we are fighting this election, the council election. we're saying send a clear message to the snp and the conservatives that we've got the best plan for the city. canvassing nearby, their biggest rivals. fr the snp candidate it's a far cry from when she joined the party and the labour vote had to be weighed rather than counted. we are on the verge of another great happening. this taking of glasgow, the citadel, gives us wonderful credibility and credibility is what we need. we have a lot of it already, but this is the big one. don't forget to vote. there's one for your daughter. but snp ambition could be thwarted by what previously might have seemed unthinkable. emboldened conservatives finding favour with glasgow voters. for the very first time, you know, across glasgow, lots of doors actively consider us. they want to hear from us. they want to hear what we

candidates standing in that ward on your screen. this is bbc news at five — the headlines: the breast surgeon ian paterson has been convicted of intentionally wounding patients by carrying out
