damian green, the first secretary of state, said the allegation made by a former police chief, bob quick, was "completely untrue" and a "political smear". he strongly denied that pornography was found and said police had never reported this to him at the time. mr quick, a former assistant commissioner in the metropolitan police — has told the bbc he stands by the claim and is to take part in a whitehall inquiry into allegations against mr green. our political correspondent iain watson reports he is one of theresa may's most senior and most trusted ministers, but damian green's reputation is under threat. he's already being investigated by whitehall officials over allegations he acted improperly towards a young journalist, claims he denies. and now, an allegation that pornography was found on a computer in his house of commons office nearly ten years ago. this claim dates from 2008, when his office was raided by police, investigating leaks from the home office. these two have never seen eye to eye since then, bob quick was the man in charge of that investigation, and the main, though not the only source, alleging that pornographic material was found.

there is no suggestion that any of the material was illegal. damian green is a staunch ally of the prime minister, and her close friend, her deputy in all but name. and he's hugely influential behind—the—scenes here in downing street, during important cabinet committees, not least on brexit. he is notjust fighting for his reputation, he is battling hard for his political life. so, in a robust statement, damian green said, "this story is completely untrue. a disreputable political smear. the police have never suggested to me that improper material was found on my parliamentary computer." and bob quick‘s successor at the metropolitan police has told the bbc he had knowledge of the pornography allegations. ——the bbc he had no knowledge of the pornography allegations. but bob quick says he stands by his story and will present

evidence to the whitehall enquiry to damian green tomorrow. this conservative mp believes that's the correct process, and allegations from a confidential police investigation should never have been made public. what we're having in relation to damian, who i said should have been suspended, so there was a proper enquiry, this would have formed part of that enquiry. instead, we are pretty much having trialled by the newspapers, and this is not acceptable. but allegations of wrongdoing aren't confined to one political party. jeremy corbyn answered questions for the first time on why kelvin hopkins had been appointed to his shadow cabinet after he was reprimanded over claims of improper behaviour. he had been reprimanded. the case had been closed. i thought it reasonable to a point, albeit for a short time, to the shadow cabinet. ——i thought it reasonable to appoint him, albeit for a short time, to the shadow cabinet. so far, there has been no sign that they are entirely in control of events.

linked to politics, what do you say? the system can be slow, but not on fair. the system can be ——slow, but not unfair. sometimes, in general, ourjudges are radical independents. they are very independent. just over a week ago, separatist ministers were celebrating after voting illegally for unilateral independence for catalan here at the catalan parliament. but now, eight of the sacked ministers are in prison in spain, carles puigdemont the former leader and four other ministers are fighting extradition, too, and that could be a long process. but time is short when it comes to returning catalonia to a functioning democracy. in six weeks‘ time, there will be new elections here. will the separatist candidates be in prison or in exile? a boy of 16 has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm by police investigating acid attacks on two people in london last week. two delivery drivers on mopeds were sprayed with a corrosive substance in separate attacks in walthamstow and tottenham. a 14—year—old boy who was arrested on friday has been released

yemen for years now. next in an unrelated move came the news that several prominent princes including serving ministers had been detained in a sweeping anti—corruption purge led by the crown prince mohammed bin salman. the heir to the throne has been moving fast to consolidate his growing power while spearheading a modern reform programme. this move will now give him nominal control of all the country's security forces but at the same time the removal from office of several well known figures is sure to upset some more conservative elements. saudi arabia is a deeply tribal society and not used to sudden change. it's currently conducting a war in yemen, another against so—called islamic state and a boycott of qatar. what is clear is that the mohammed bin salman regime is struggling very much. he's trying to consolidate power and this attack on the capital is an embarrassment, to say the least. these are risky times
