Royal Bank of Scotland chief executive Stephen Hester will not take his near-£1m bonus, the BBC has learned.

He succumbed to "enormous political and media pressure" despite RBS's board urging him to fight, Peston added.

At first I thought the banker voluntarily rejected it. I should have known better.
