it comes as the claims... it comes as the corporation says just two attempts were made over seven weeks to contact the family at the centre of the complaint. at the nato summit in lithuania there is sharp criticism over reluctance to set a timetable for ukraine to join the alliance. protest continues in israel as the country's parliament pushes ahead with a new law restricting judges powers. let us return to that breaking story that lucy brought to us because bbc news has spoken to a young person in their early 20s who said they felt threatened by the same bbc presenter who is at the centre of the

allegations. this young person was first contacted anonymously by the bbc presenter via a dating app who claims the presenter sent menacing messages. early i spoke to our correspondence— correspondence lucy. this is a different person _ correspondence lucy. this is a different person to _ correspondence lucy. this is a different person to the - correspondence lucy. this is a different person to the one . correspondence lucy. this is a| different person to the one the correspondence lucy. this is a - different person to the one the sun has reported about. this individual was in her early 20s and was contacted a not to be micro... have to two had connected on the up the conversation moved to private messaging. the young person has told the bbc news that they were surprised to find out who the presenter was when he revealed his identity and the presenter told the young person not to tell anyone. the young person not to tell anyone. the young person not to tell anyone. the young person has told us that they felt they were put under repeated pressure to meet up. they did in fact never meet up. later, the young person alluded online to the fact

that they were having contact with the bbc presenter and the... might name him. the presenter reacted by sending a number of, what this young person said, were threatening young messages. we have seen them and they were abusive, expletive filled messages. speaking to bbc news the young person who has no connection to the young person has been reported in the sun said they had been scared by the power they felt the presenter held in the rats in the presenter held in the rats in the messages had frightened them and they remain scared. these new allegations of these messages of a menacing, bullying behaviour potentially by the presenter raise fresh questions about his conduct which is why we are reporting them. we have reached out to directly to the presenter and to his lawyer but

we have not heard anything yet in reply to these allegations. that was lucy manning _ reply to these allegations. that was lucy manning with _ reply to these allegations. that was lucy manning with the _ reply to these allegations. that was lucy manning with the latest - lucy manning with the latest developments. let us take stock in terms of where we are today because a lot of developments in the last few hours. i will correspondence helena is here with us. we saw new detail from the bbc today about the timeline here with the statement from the director—general in the interview we were listening to a short while ago. new details but clearly areas where people are focusing on around gaps or information still that there is more to learn. , ., ., information still that there is more tolearn. , ., ., ., to learn. yes we are on day four into these _ to learn. yes we are on day four into these allegations _ to learn. yes we are on day four into these allegations and - to learn. yes we are on day four into these allegations and i - to learn. yes we are on day four| into these allegations and i think there is still no more clarity about where the truth lies. the timetable we have had from debussy earlier today gives us more clarity in terms of what db proceeded, in terms of the processes when they first got that complaint. as you have

mentioned the bbc after that initial contact from the family of this young person, they made two attempts over a number of weeks. two attempts were made, won by e—mail, there was no response, another was made by them trying to phone the family member and it did them trying to phone the family memberand it did not them trying to phone the family member and it did not connect. there will be questions about how thorough that process was. we heard earlier, and you played that clip from bbc director—general tim davie who's earlier on defended the bbc�*s initial response after that complaint came what we also learnt what was once that first complaint came and it was treated very seriously but there was no allegation of any criminality going on in that initial complaint which was made by the family. tim davie said earlier on that, he talked

about the bbc corporate investigations team taking it on, he talked about the balance to can... also privacy. he was asked about why the presenter was not told about that complaint about the... why was the presenter only told about the allegations on thursday of last week? tim davie said who do not take that complaints directly to the presenter unless it has been verified. ,, . , presenter unless it has been verified. ,, . verified. since davies spoke, the sun have issued _ verified. since davies spoke, the sun have issued a _ verified. since davies spoke, the sun have issued a statement... | verified. since davies spoke, the i sun have issued a statement... the bbc investigation is to be proposed by the police do more work. tell us more about those two things. the sun has released — more about those two things. the sun has released another— more about those two things. the sun has released another statement. - more about those two things. the sun has released another statement. theyj has released another statement. they have been statements back and forth from all sides involved in this matter. i will be due a bit of the statement. it says before the 19th of may, the stepdad of this young

individual went to the police. he wanted to stop payments to the child which the family say was a fuelling a drug habit and the stepdad reported the inappropriate relationship. the statement goes on to say that they could not help. he then according to the the sun statement went on to contact the bbc and the... in this statement from the sun they said they would reiterate the statement that this is about a family with a vulnerable child, it seems to us that the family has been attacked by the bbc for not fully understanding their complaints system. you asked about the metropolitan police inquiry, it is only that at this stage, it is not a criminal investigation that they have asked the bbc to stop their investigations while they carry out their inquiries. given the counterclaims that we have seen over the car past couple of days it is

not going to be straightforward. the job of the metropolitan police detectives is to try to establish one thing, is there evidence that a criminal offence has been committed, how long their inquiries will take we have no idea.— we have no idea. thank you very much. we have no idea. thank you very much- you _ we have no idea. thank you very much. you were _ we have no idea. thank you very much. you were watching - we have no idea. thank you very much. you were watching bbc. we have no idea. thank you very - much. you were watching bbc news. at turn to lithuania. dominating discussions. president zelensky has sharply criticised nato, for refusing to set out a timetable, for when ukraine can join the alliance. leaders are divided, over how to handle ukraine's bid for nato membership. nato members are obliged to defend any other member state, that comes under attack — and are wary of escalating russia's invasion, into an all out global war, if ukraine were to join. let's cross live to my colleague lewis vaughan jones in vilnius. lewis bring us up to date because i

know the secretary general has been talking in the last well. that know the secretary general has been talking in the last well.— talking in the last well. that is ri . ht, talking in the last well. that is right, ukraine _ talking in the last well. that is right, ukraine is _ talking in the last well. that is right, ukraine is still- talking in the last well. that is i right, ukraine is still dominating. ukraine is not a member of nato of course. president zelensky issued strong words just before he arrived here. he said it was absurd that ukraine has not been offered a timeline tojoin ukraine has not been offered a timeline to join nato. ukraine has not been offered a timeline tojoin nato. we have a meeting that happened over the last few hours. senior nato leaders... we have actually just few hours. senior nato leaders... we have actuallyjust had the... released after that meeting. i will spare you are reading it because it is long. basically there is one key phrase that he did save publicly in the last half hour. we will issue an invitation for ukraine to join nato when allies agree and conditions are met. we now wait to see whether president zelensky will be happy

with that. let us take a lesson to the chief of nato talking about ukraine earlier. i the chief of nato talking about ukraine earlier.— the chief of nato talking about ukraine earlier. i also expect that the allies will _ ukraine earlier. i also expect that the allies will send _ ukraine earlier. i also expect that the allies will send a _ ukraine earlier. i also expect that the allies will send a clear - ukraine earlier. i also expect that the allies will send a clear and . the allies will send a clear and positive — the allies will send a clear and positive message on the path forward to membership for ukraine. i have proposed a package of three elements with more practical support, with a multi—year programme to ensure full interoperability between the ukrainian forces and the nato forces. this will move ukraine closer to nato. before i come back to to show you images _ before i come back to to show you images from a different part of the capital— images from a different part of the capital where you are. the images from a different part of the capital where you are.— capital where you are. the flag ceremony _ capital where you are. the flag ceremony that _ capital where you are. the flag ceremony that i _ capital where you are. the flag ceremony that i was _ capital where you are. the flag ceremony that i was talking . capital where you are. the flag - ceremony that i was talking about, thatis ceremony that i was talking about, that is happening as you can see with the camera shot. absolutely centred upon it, they're the crowds,

you will see to the left president zelensky has just started addressing all those people there. we will keep an eye on that and an eye on what ukraine's president has been saying. he is pressing the cause as lewis was taking us through about nato membership. all the elements, the demand is about extra weaponry, he continues to push that. more fighter jets, to push that, lewis let me bring you back in on that. certainly defence ministers have been talking about the training schedules that are planned in the coming months and banned f 16's. that are planned in the coming months and banned f 16a— banned f 16's. that is right matthew- _ banned f 16's. that is right matthew. we _ banned f 16's. that is right matthew. we are - banned f 16's. that is right matthew. we are getting l banned f 16's. that is right - matthew. we are getting more banned f 16's. that is right _ matthew. we are getting more details about what other countries are prepared to offer on the f 16's. denmark says it will be offering training on those in august. that should start soon. france said they

will release long—range missiles to recurring. germany has released a package of managers to ukraine as well. we are getting a steady drip drip of support for ukraine. in the last hour or so i have been speaking to the prime minister of latvia. a few interesting points from our conversation with him. ito him that this is actually a crucial issue of ukraine's membership. why not offer a timeline that zelensky wants. he pushed back saying there is unity within nato. some may be frustrated that things are moving quickly enough. the long term. support for ukraine is there and undiminished. he used this phrase. rejuvenated nature of nato. he said russia and their actions has rejuvenated nato. i get a sense from that meeting that

was held this afternoon that there was held this afternoon that there was a renewed focus and renewed interest and a renewed pressure. one of those pressures, notjust on russia externally, but to raise defence spending within nato countries. to at least 2% of the national gdp. only a third of nato countries also route that. no latvia, given its geography, is spending more to 3%. he looked to germany for example for historical reasons will stop germany spend the on the military has been down. that is now changing as it is such a big economy. once that gets up and running we will feel the difference. thank you for bringing us the latest from that nato summit. around the

world and across the uk what you were watching bbc news. one firm, less than half a mile down the road. we have tried to get in touch with the company but they have refused to comment. it is understand that plans to convert the... initially they talked of disclosing one of the four courts. the club has now been served an eviction notice. with just a couple of months to

challenge the eviction they will take their fight to wimbledon this week. let us return straight to the bbc story because just in the last little while we have received a statement from the police force confirming two points. let me spend the next few seconds taking you through what the police have said. confirming two points made by the parents of the young person at the centre of the allegations against the unnamed bbc presenter. they have confirmed that they were contacted in april. it also confirms that no criminality was identified. the force has now met with the metropolitan police and the bbc and quote as a result the recent developments further inquiries are ongoing to establish if there is evidence of a criminal offence. we

are not identifying the police force concern for obvious reasons around identification but that is the latest from the police force confirming those two points made by the parents of the young person. the force does confirm that they were contacted in april and confirming that no criminality was identified. they have now met with the met and the bbc. we will keep an eye on that and bring you the latest in the next little while. let us pause to catch up little while. let us pause to catch up with tiger. what do you have for us. we start in the us and the world of golf. as politicians in washington have just started questioning representatives from the pga tour over their proposed deal with liv golf. now these are the two heavy weights of the golfing world — with the us run pga tour and the saudi run liv golf — historically in competition — nowjoining forces only months after the pga had been urging its golfers not to participate in liv tournaments

because of saudi's human rights record urged. here's the pga tour board member — jimmy dunne — explaining what was behind the move. some players had left the pga tour to join live. some players had left the pga tour tojoin live. they some players had left the pga tour to join live. they were facing each other in litigation. there is division and tension amongst players. you can see it spreading to fans and sponsors. my concern was that it could all continue, expensive legal fights, that it could all continue, expensive legalfights, every that it could all continue, expensive legal fights, every day wondering which player was going to leave next. a fan base tired of leaving hearing about it. golf as we know it would be damaged for ever. samira hussain has been watching the hearing from new york for us. we heard there from the pga suggesting that very future of professional golf is on the line and that the pga could not withstand the competition. how was that received?

of course it was received with quite a bit of scepticism from some members or some lawmakers that were participating in today's hearing. making suggestions that there were other avenues for the pga to seek funding or to try to find other mechanisms with which they could continue this kind of competition. also some said that competition is a part of the game when it comes to the business of professional sport. but the pga continued to push that, given the funding abilities of her live the which is backed by the saudis they just could live the which is backed by the saudis theyjust could not compete with the amount of money that was being talked about which is why they said it was part of the reasoning they decided tojoin said it was part of the reasoning

they decided to join forces. that also comes despite a lot of heavy criticism with regards to how human rights violations that are happening and also the criticism coming from some family members of the 911 victims who say that doing business with saudi arabia, which is a country which has been tied to the 9/11 attacks, some people are calling it anti—american. 9/11 attacks, some people are calling it anti-american. what is the potential— calling it anti-american. what is the potential outcome _ calling it anti-american. what is the potential outcome of- calling it anti-american. what is the potential outcome of this . the potential outcome of this hearing. is it... could these politicians stand in the way of this merger proceeding? d0 politicians stand in the way of this merger proceeding?— politicians stand in the way of this merger proceeding? do not forget that the us _ merger proceeding? do not forget that the us justice _ merger proceeding? do not forget that the us justice department. merger proceeding? do not forget that the us justice department is| that the usjustice department is already hinting that it is going to file anti—trust or anti—competition investigation when it comes to liv and the pga's merger. do not forget that they only still have an agreement in principle but they have not ironed out the details. that was also coming out during this hearing.

what do some of those details mean. although the executives that were facing... we are still in conversations. they were still a lot of pressure on them to give more about what these conversations will look like. one thing that was pushed is that the pga is going to remain in control of tournaments. again this is something that thejustice department is going to be looking at when the final deal is presented in terms of their paperwork. there are worries about competition. thahk terms of their paperwork. there are worries about competition. thank you ve much worries about competition. thank you very much for— worries about competition. thank you very much for that. _ microsoft may go forward with each with its plans... turning aside the us regulators to block the sale. the ftc had asked the judge to stop the proposed deal arguing that it would give microsoft, the maker of the xbox, exclusive access to games

obscures a deepening crisis. the number of people on the social housing register here has more than doubled since the coronavirus pandemic. i've come to this community charity in newquay to meet some of those fighting an escalating crisis of homelessness and poverty. if you want to have a look — if there's anything there, i just help yourselves. monique collins is a soldier's wife who's galvanised the community to help those being pushed to the margins. we're finding more and more families are becoming - homeless, because we get- like a domino roll on effect almost. so you have an owner of a home that has let their property for, l let's say, ho, 15. years to a person, now they'll find that their daughter or son becomes homeless. - so they now have to evict that family to actually-

accommodate their own children. this caravan tells one story of homelessness. the toilet's at the back and there's no shower because there's no water supply. katie pound lives here on her parents' drive with her two children. it's hot. yeah, i've literallyjust cooked it, that's why. she's been waiting for housing for 18 months. we have a box each of normal clothes and the school uniform's in the cupboard. and that's about all of our clothes. you're bottling up a lot of emotion? yeah. yeah — well, for the kids. i don't want to sit and cry in front of the kids when... it is hard, but... just not knowing when it's going to come to an end, living like this. it's hard.

didn't think we'd be here this long. just, there ain't no more i can do now. apart from just keep going forwards, trying. people keep going, communities rally around. but they bear a strain that shows no sign of easing. fergal keane, bbc news, cornwall. we have the latest hear any moment on the bbc story. we will have the latest on the nato summit. all of thatis latest on the nato summit. all of that is coming up after the weather. hello there. we are stuck in a bit of a rut

at the moment with the weather. it is generally rather unsettled because of the showers and the proximity of low pressure. so, through the rest of the day, we will continue with some sunshine, but also some heavy showers, because this low pressure almost overhead. weather fronts may be moving out of the way from the south and the north, but believe you me, there is a lot of energy in thejuly sunshine. we have that moisture around, and we are seeing some big showers brewing up. still longer spells of rain for the north of scotland, so a different complexion to yesterday. fewer showers for northern ireland, but probably more making their way east across central and eastern parts of england. but wherever you are, there is a fairly blustery breeze blowing, and those showers will be potentially heavy and thundery. temperatures are a notch down on yesterday, and we've lost the humidity. but still with us the sunshine, 22 or 23 in the south. it should be a fresh feel for those at wimbledon today, but i think there is certainly still the risk of the shower today. despite the good deal of play. as we go for the evening and overnight, the showers tend to ease up across wales, there is heavy rain pushing its way over northern ireland into the far west of england, and those showers

continuing into scotland. we will notice it is more comfortable for sleeping, as we have lost that humidity across england and wales. changing direction on thursday. it is much more westerly tomorrow for many of us, north—westerly for scotland and northern ireland. we will see the showers packing into the north and west again, heavy and thundery. possibly a few more breaks in the cloud, a bit less sunshine compared with today. and again, just areas of showers moving through. there is enough breeze to push the showers through tomorrow, so it won't be raining all day, but i think most will get one or two showers. and it will feel a touch fresher again tomorrow, even further south, when we lose the south—westerly wind. thursday, it's another day of sunny spells and showers. if anything, probably fewer showers across england and wales, as we see high pressure building in, but some slow—moving showers, with the lighter winds further north, so they could last a bit longer, when the showers do come along. there is that ridge of high pressure, it is a very brief affair, because come friday,

the next area of low pressure and weather fronts, and tightly packed isobars, so windy weather again comes marching in off the atlantic, and it stays rather unsettled for mid—july. goodbye.

live from london. live from london. this is bbc news. a bbc presenter accused a bbc presenter accused of paying a teenager for explicit photos — of paying a teenager faces new claims about a second young person. a second young person. it comes as the corporation says — just two attempts were made, over several weeks, to contact the family at the centre of the initial complaint.
