good evening. the bbc has suspended an unnamed presenter, and contacted the police, over allegations he gave tens of thousands of pounds to a teenager in return for sexually explicit photographs. the corporation, which was told by the young person's family about the allegations back in may, says new information came to light on thursday, and it's now investigating all the claims. the bbc is now in touch with the family. and in the last few minutes, the sun newspaper has printed claims the presenter has tried to contact the family in recent days. our media editor, katie razzall is here. more katie razzall is here. revelations, what are they saying? more revelations, what are they saying? we more revelations, what are they sa in: ? ~ . ., more revelations, what are they sa in? ~ ., ., ., saying? we are on day three of the story broken _ saying? we are on day three of the story broken by _ saying? we are on day three of the story broken by macro _ saying? we are on day three of the story broken by macro three - saying? we are on day three of the story broken by macro three but i saying? we are on day three of the i story broken by macro three but now in so much of the news, with the focus not very much on the presenter and who he might be but also on the bbc itself and whether its actions over the past two months stand up to

scrutiny. tonight, as you say, macro three has a new story recently published on its website and will be on the front page tomorrow. it claims that the presenter made a panic coated a young person —— the sun. after the revelations from the sun, and asking them to ring their mum and get them to stop the investigations. we do not know the truth of it. the sun also says that families upset by the bbc statement today and that they claim that no one from the corporation rang them for a proper interview after the initial complaint. on saturday the sun said the family handed a dossier of evidence to the bbc. the story has developed over the course of the day. the presenter, as you say, has been suspended. this is my report tonight on how the story unfolded. for the best part of 48 hours the bbc has been

across many of the front pages. today was an attempt to prove that it hadn't been slow to act in the face of a serious complaint. an effort to take control of the narrative. this afternoon the bbc announced it has suspended the still unnamed presenter at the heart of the allegations and also contacted the police. the bbc first became aware of a complaint in may. it said in a statement. new allegations were put to us, on thursday, to us, on thursday, of a different nature. and in addition to our own inquiries we have also been in touch with external authorities, in line with our protocols. those new allegations, the devastating story in the sun newspaper yesterday, that a male presenter had paid an individual £35,000 over three years, in return for sexually explicit images, beginning when that person was 17. a possible criminal offence. today's newspaper had new allegations about the bbc star described as "known to millions". that he had stripped to his underpants in a video call with

the young person. with the pressure to act intensifying, the government minister and a member of the shadow cabinet weighed in this morning. these are very, very serious allegations and the bbc needs to act swiftly. it needs to follow this procedure is that it says it has in place. i am a former minister for safeguarding, and i worked for 20 years in the criminaljustice system and so, in all of this, and in our conversations about it we have to remember that is a person, a young person, at the centre of this. the bbc do need to speed up their processes. it looks like that these issues were raised in may. we are now injuly and this presenter has stayed on air. that is not good enough. the culture secretary held talks with the director general tim davie, soon after, and came away apparently reassured that the bbc is investigating swiftly and sensitively and should, she said, be given space to establish the facts and take action, because these are just allegations. they may not be true. this is reputationally damaging for the bbc, which still

has questions to answer, not least in terms of what exactly did in may after the family's complaint and whether it knew at that point that potential criminality might be involved. how many attempts were made to contact the family after they complained 7 was the presenter interviewed, and should he have been taken off air? tonight the metropolitan police told bbc news that it has received initial contact from the bbc, but that no formal referral or allegation has been made. it will, it says, require additional information before determining what further action should follow. the bbc has said it expects to be able to provide a further update on this story in the coming days. but as a publicly funded corporation it depends on trust. trust that is earned. the bbc has faced a series of crises in recent months. for some its reputation is already tarnished. we can only fullyjudge how damaging this latest crisis will be when the full facts of the story are known. let's take stock of where we are

after a weekend of allegations. we'll look at what the controversy could mean for the bbc, and why the presenter hasn't been named. but first, let's go to scotland yard, and get the latest on possible police involvement, from our special correspondent, lucy manning. just fill us in on what more you know. , , . ., know. this is where i could get serious, because _ know. this is where i could get serious, because the _ know. this is where i could get l serious, because the allegations made against the presenter are not just that he behaved inappropriately back raises questions about whether a criminal act has been committed. the allegations are that the presenter paid for explicit photos and that the contact with the teenager was when it was alleged he was between 17 and 20. the age of consent is 16 but when it comes to explicit photos, someone is considered a child until they reach the age of 18 so if those photos were taken when the person was 17, there is a legal issue, and if

somebody is found guilty of that, that could mean prison time. we now know that the bbc has been in contact with the metropolitan police. got a somewhat cagey statement from the metropolitan police saying that no formal —— formal allegation had been made by the bbc and they needed more information. director general tim davie said today that the bbc was acting swiftly and although we don't know what information the bbc has handed over to the police, from the police statement, it sounds like they do not have enough and they need more. we understand in the coming days there will be meetings and discussions between the police and discussions between the police and the bbc. but questions about whether the bbc should have actually gone to the police much earlier than this, the allegations are that the bbc were told in some way about this in may, and, should the police have been involved then?—

in may, and, should the police have been involved then? dominic casciani is with me now. _ been involved then? dominic casciani is with me now, why _ been involved then? dominic casciani is with me now, why has _ been involved then? dominic casciani is with me now, why has this - is with me now, why has this individual not been named? it is all ofthe individual not been named? it is all of the social _ individual not been named? it is all of the social media _ individual not been named? it is all of the social media discussion - individual not been named? it is all of the social media discussion of. of the social media discussion of why the individual has not been named. there has been a feeding frenzy across the very competitive british media landscape to do so. there is a very good reason behind this. there is a very old case which says journalists have the right, they are protected by law to uncover they are protected by law to uncover the fraudulent and scandalous, but the fraudulent and scandalous, but the fact is in this case there are more questions than answers at the moment. a lot of this is very unclear. it is in that situation that the law bites, and backs very hard on the media if it gets things wrong. firstly there is the law of defamation which protects everyone's reputation from the hard of lies, if i said something untrue about someone they could see me and, for an awful lot of money, it could be financially ruinous for me or any other who does that. that is not

just a risk in the newsroom but it applies to anyone else on social media does the same thing. that is not the only reason why this name is not the only reason why this name is not out there tonight. there was the issue of privacy. this has been a developing area of the law in the uk in the past 20 years. our laws recognise everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, it is effectively human rights, which requires a balanced exercise between their privacy and the public�*s right to know something through journalists, but what case law and the courts have been saying on this is that that right applies even if there is a police investigation ongoing because the damage that could be caused to that individual if the allegations were later to be proved wrong would be absolutely enormous. so defamation and privacy are not there to prevent the media exposing wrongdoing and investigating, but to prevent trial by media before the facts are known. thank you, dominic casciani our

legal correspondent. a second child has died after a car crashed into a school in south—west london on thursday. she's been named as eight—year—old nuria sajjad. tonight, the family of nuria sajjad paid tribute to the eight—year—old. they said she was the "light of their lives" and "embodied joy, kindness and generosity". the young girl was among several people taken to hospital after a land rover crashed into the grounds of the study prep school in wimbledon. she died from her injuries. an end of term tea party had been taking place at the school when the car crashed through the fence and into a building. another eight—year—old girl, selena lau, also died after the incident on thursday. her family said she was an intelligent and cheeky girl. outside the school, flowers

and individuals he first visited over 20 years ago. it's a journey that reveals stories of resiliene and courage, as fergal reports now from govan in glasgow. the big boats are back in a clyde shipyard that's thriving again. i'm retracing steps i first took over 20 years ago. how you doing, boys? back then, the shipyard was in decline. this wasjohn brown, a welder, on the day he lost his job. i'm no a number. i'm a man, i'm a human being and they will never, ever take my dignity fae me. i've come back to govan to discover what happened tojohn. oh, fer...sake! how are you? good to see you! an unstable world means warships are in demand and john brown is back at work in the bae systems yard,

except now he's a full—time union convenor. no more welding, john. naw, no more welding. there is a god! here in 2000, he was fighting for a job. nowjohn�*s facing a harder challenge. you don't actually understand it... he's been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis — ms — a disease of the central nervous system. absolutely. it's robbed me of my vigour. it's has robbed me of my strength. it's...robbed me, ifeel, although others don't notice it, of my words, right? i can't often find words. that's very distressing for me. my memory started to go at times. i promised i'd come back later in the year to see how he was doing. 20 years ago, in the hard world

beyond the shipyard gates, i'd also encountered seven—year—old danny mccuish, the son of a man struggling with long term unemployment. when i caught up with a teenage danny a decade later, he was also unemployed, a boy without hope. it's pretty miserable, sort of soul—destroying, in a way, just being unemployed. i would take anyjob going about. i'm on my way to find out what's become of danny. danny, how you doing, mate? somebody who saw our last interview offered danny an apprenticeship as a heating engineer. so here is an opportunity. naebody would look at me and one opportunity changed that and i'm quite happy with everything i've been able to do since. look at you. look at the happy home you've made.

you've got to do what you've got to do, so i quite happily work away doing what i need to do for my family, for me. six months on, i've returned to seejohn brown. deepening mental health struggles took him to a dark place, to think of ending his life. yes. on more than one occasion. what has stopped you? a conversation with myself, because i'm self—aware. and nowjohn�*s made a momentous decision about work. i'm going, i'm going before i retire. i can't make it to 66. i physically cannot do it. john plans to become a climate change campaigner. but you're still a fighter.

three. harry brook was looking secure, just about, chasing 251, england reached 100. supporters relaxed a bit, not too much. a touch from joe root, and nojuggler, just alex carey's from joe root, and nojuggler, just alex ca rey�*s gloves, from joe root, and nojuggler, just alex carey's gloves, safe. england four down, hard to look, hard or not you. ben stokes was there. ben stokes was out, going for 13, and the world for a moment stop as he trudged off. not him this time and notjonny bairstow. six down, 82 when, and a sold—out headingley suddenly felt empty. harry brook had it under control. he made 75. 21 to win and harry brook played this shot, because trillions were underneath it and the captain took it, just. in came mark wood, no problem. let's get this over with. chris woakes had supported and resisted and now, he crunched the winning runs. the match, at last,

was done. if anybody around the world for them the test match found the tension is unbearable, don't worry, so did the england captain. i ended up doing 15 laps of the headingley dressing room for the last 20 runs. i couldn't watch the end and dress mac games going down to the wire like it has done is incredible. we are obviously grateful that we got the runs today and on this comeback challenge that we know that we need to do. in short, the series is still alive, 2-1 short, the series is still alive, 2—1 down, two to play. max verstappen is coasting towards a third formula one world title in a row after winning today's british grand prix, but the home crowd still had plenty to celebrate with lando norris and lewis hamilton battling it out for second and third. our sports correspondent natalie pirks was at silverstone. on cloudy northamptonshire sky, race day. and british hopes sprung eternal. . ., ,

finish in formula 1. lewis hamilton coming from seventh up to third, and two brakes on the podium at silverstone for the first time since 1999. both of the british drivers proving that is no place like home. it's another late finish on wimbledon centre court. the seven—time champion novak djokovic is a set up against the pole hubert hurkasz. the women's world number one, iga swiatek, had a scare, saving two match points before getting past the olympic champion, belinda bencic, to reach herfirst wimbledon quarterfinal. there is much more on the bbc sport website, including the results from the british athetics championships and details of gb success at the world para athletics in paris. time for a look at the weather. here's stav da naos. good evening to you. the brief heat and humidity of friday gave way to thunderstorms and torrential

downpours during the weekend as low pressure moved in. for this coming week that will be the dominant force, low pressure bringing cooler conditions for the time of year. showers and longer spells of rain and at times quite windy. the thunderstorms and downpours across northern ireland, wales, the west midlands, the midlands and northern england, they have been pushing away to the north and east and that the moment it is quieter with the last of those thunderstorms just ended across northern ireland. showers continue to drift northwards fizzle out with one or two dotted around scotland. a drier night to come for many. a little bit fresher and cooler than we have had the last couple of nights with more comfortable sleeping. these are town and city values, lower than that in the countryside. we start off tomorrow and a fine note but it is not long before the next batch of weather fronts pushes into the south—west with long wins and the isobars closer together. a fine start, showers across northern and western scotland. sunshine and showers for much of the country.

south—west england and wales, you will start to see this area are persistent, heavy rain pushing north was andy swiss into the midlands and northern england but the far south should avoid and stay dry stops on good spells of sunshine. in the south—east corner, up to 2a celsius, for most, the high teens and low 20s. may be lower than that we have the wind and rain. monday not bad for wimbledon, we should see our —— uninterrupted play on the outside court with tens mac reaching the mid 20s but it will not last. from tuesday onwards low pressure takes charge with showers and longer spells of rain, the wind picking up in the north, so it will feel cool forjuly both by day and by night. there will still be some sunshine around. take care.— that's it. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on the bbc news website. the news continues here on bbc one as wejoin our colleagues across the nations and regions, for the news where you are.

hello. the weather for the week ahead looks what you'd probably call more typical british summer—like weather. much more changeable. two charts to show you. the first shows how temperatures compare to the norm. the orange/red colours, where temperatures are significantly above normal. central/southern europe seeing the heat, before that recedes towards the mediterranean. for us, we go to the blues and the whites here — an indication that temperature has become close to, if not below normal. and then there's the rainfall chart, showing how rainfall amounts will tot up through the week.

most places, if not all, will see rain at times. driest towards east anglia and the south—east, but even elsewhere, rainfall amounts will vary widely, and that's because we're looking at quite a typically showery week. some of those showers heavy, could merge into some longer spells of rain, and also windy at times. driving things is a broad area of low pressure which is not going to just shift its way northwards and eastwards. monday, it's centred towards the south—west. it's going to start to throw a weather front our way. so after a sunny start, outbreaks of rain will set in across south—west england and wales through the morning and lunchtime. through the afternoon, through the north and west midlands and into northern england. north of that, scotland and northern ireland, some heavy and thundery showers, a bit of sunshine in—between. greatest chance of thunder in the north—east of scotland. east anglia and the south—east, largely staying dry here. only a few showers expected, and still quite warm — 23, 2a degrees. now, that first band of rain fragments into showers through monday night. but monday night into tuesday, a band of persistent rain through wales, south—west england pushes through the midlands towards east anglia and the south—east, drawing in probably the warmest air by night this week — 16, 17 degrees here.

temperatures elsewhere up a little bit on monday morning's values, at around 12 to 15. but here's the chart for tuesday. low pressure is centred now to the northeast of us, bringing in winds more from a general westerly direction than a southerly one. still got it to begin with in east anglia and the south—east. cloud, outbreaks of rain here. could be a while to shift, depending on if we see any wobbles on that weather front develop. most other parts — so some sunshine, plenty of cloud at times and frequent showers. some of those, heavy and thundery, especially further north and west. and most places seeing temperatures drop relative to monday. tuesday into wednesday, that low pressure starts to push closer towards western norway, allowing the winds to go more west to northwesterly, so temperatures drop a bit further. a dry and bright start to many southern and eastern areas. showers will develop heaviest to the northern half of the uk, with the risk of thunder, as we're close to that area of low pressure. further away from the low pressure, lighter, fewer showers across southern counties. temperatures for all, though, at, if not a little bit below average for the time of year by this stage.

and it will turn colder still into thursday for the northern half of the country, with a northerly wind developing. not much of a breeze on thursday. so some slow—moving showers where they do pop up. but actually, fewer showers compared with the rest of the week, especially across england and wales, although there is the chance of some high cloud drifting in towards the south—west later on. just 13 or 1a in the north of scotland, 20 to 22 to the south—east. as we go through thursday night and into friday, though, the next area of low pressure is developing out towards the west, pushing its way in. that is going to draw southerly winds once again. so a lift in the temperatures across northern scotland, but looking likely we'll see areas of heavy, thundery rain and strengthening winds to the west of the uk. at this stage, certainly, eastern areas could have a fine day on friday, although cloud amounts will generally increase. temperatures just start to lift a little bit. but as we go into next weekend and beyond, we do it all again. not what you want to see in the middle ofjuly. an area of low pressure spinning across the country towards the north—east. further rain at times, and probably windier next weekend and into next week too. take care.
