Lib Dem MEP defends Lord Rennard who faces suspension over demands for harassment apology.

Lib Dem MEP defends Lord Rennard who faces suspension over demands for harassment apology; plus the European Space Agency reactivates a space probe ahead of comet landing attempt.

How much damage is the Lord Rennard crisis causing the Lib Dems? Lord Rennard could face suspension over demands he apologise to the women who claim he'd sexually harassed them, But the peer's supporters says he's "not guilty" and has nothing to apologise for.  We speak to one of the women who made the allegations and to Lib Dem MEP Chris Davies who says Lord Rennard's been through hell

The European Space Agency attempts to reactivate the Rosetta spacecraft. In one of the ESA's most ambitious projects, scientists hope to land it on a comet to gather information about how the solar system came into existence.

Plus two British men who claim they were tortured by authorities in Saudi Arabia tell this programme they feel abandoned by the UK foreign office. Sandy Mitchell and Ron Jones. The courts have denied them the right to sue the Saudi government - as individuals are immune from prosecution if they were working for their own Government.
