The vast majority of police officers, we are told, are honest, decent cops.Ìý Occasionally, however, there's a bad apple in the barrel.Ìý And very occasionally, one of the bad apples is a dangerous criminal.Ìý Four years ago, the Metropolitan Police found one such criminal in its midst, and it was up to the force's anti-corruption unit to root him out. Our home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, has been reporting on police corruption this week, and has been speaking to the detectives involved in that investigation to find out how they did it.

A third of contracts to provide NHS clinical services in England were awarded to private companies in the 18-months since April 2013, according to an investigation by the British Medical Journal. The figures follow the introduction of new laws which critics say increases competition in the NHS. The Government has described the figures as misleading, insisting private contracts represent a tiny proportion of NHS spending. Critics, however, say it is proof of creeping privatisation within the health service. Dr Jacky Davies is a consultant radiologist in London and co-founder of the campaign group Keep Our NHS Public. Rob Webster is chief executive of NHS Confederation.

The police in Ireland are mounting a major security operation today, as fifty thousand people are expected to descend upon Dublin to protest at the introduction of water charges. The level of anger displayed in previous protests has taken Ireland's coalition government by surprise; some ministers have even been trapped in their cars by demonstrators. But the tax for single parent households will be capped at less than £50. For families, that rises to £125. Andy Martin's report on why this comparatively small tax has sparked such dissent begins in Donegal, where a group of mothers are preparing to protest, for the first time since Ireland's austerity began.
