remained scared. we must point out that will be, the bbc news, have tried to contact the presenter directly and via his lawyer but so far have had no response to that. those are new allegations about another person to do with this bbc presenter this evening. it another person to do with this bbc presenter this evening.— presenter this evening. it has emerued presenter this evening. it has emerged that _ presenter this evening. it has emerged that a _ presenter this evening. it has emerged that a police - presenter this evening. it has emerged that a police force l presenter this evening. it has i emerged that a police force had presenter this evening. it has emerged that a police force had been contacted in april. what more do we know about this? in contacted in april. what more do we know about this?— know about this? in terms of the timeline, as _ know about this? in terms of the timeline, as we _ know about this? in terms of the timeline, as we have _ know about this? in terms of the timeline, as we have seen - know about this? in terms of the timeline, as we have seen over l know about this? in terms of the i timeline, as we have seen over the past few days, this is an incredibly complex, fast moving story. let's remind ourselves that the bbc have not told us that the parents of the young person in connection with the sun allegations, the person contacted the bbc in may. we have had confirmation this evening that a police force has said it was contacted in april, the month before, about the unnamed presenter by the parents of the young person

at the centre of the allegations. reported in the sun. the force says no criminality at that point was identified, but that further inquiries are ongoing. the force also says that it has met with the met police and say that the bbc as well and as we know the metropolitan police confirming that they are carrying out inquiries and they have asked the corporation to put their investigation on pause while detectives at the metropolitan police try and establish one question. is there any evidence that any criminal offence has taken place. given the claims and counterclaims in this story, it may be tricky to get to the bottom of that. ., ~ be tricky to get to the bottom of that. . ~ , ., be tricky to get to the bottom of that. ., ~' , ., , be tricky to get to the bottom of that. . ~ ,, , . be tricky to get to the bottom of that. . ~ , ., , . ., well today the director general of the bbc, tim davie, defended the corporation's handling of the initial complaint against the presenter. the bbc was first contacted on may 18th by the family claiming their child had received money for sexually explicit photos. but the presenter was not spoken to by the corporation

until last thursday. our media editor, katie razzall, reports on the latest developments. the bbc at the centre of a storm, not a good situation, the director—general said today. claim and counterclaim goes on about a bbc presenter, still unnamed, explicit photographs, and quite what the bbc did when a family complaint. in his first interview since the crisis erupted, tim davie said he had launched an internal review of bbc complaints procedure. i think there is a valid question that i am asking which is, how are complaints like this red flagged through the organisation. and i want that immediately looked at and also review the overall process and protocols to make sure we are satisfied by them. today, as it published its annual report, the bbc offered up a new timeline. the key information is about how they handled that early complaint. on the 18th of may, a family member went into a bbc

building to try to complain. the next day, their complaint reached the corporate investigations team who, we are told, felt it didn't involve criminality, but was serious. on the same day, they e—mailed the family member, who didn't respond. more than two weeks later, they called the mobile given but the call didn't connect. the case was kept open. a month later, the sun contacted the bbc corporate press office with what the bbc said contained new allegations. after that, with the top executives informed, the complainant interviewed, and the presenter spoken to for the first time, action was swift. it was a difficult situation in which we were not getting a response to attempts to get more information. when the information came to me on the 6th ofjuly, i think we acted very speedily. that action included suspending the presenter. the director—general told me today he has not personally spoken to the still unnamed presenter throughout this, but tim davie

is still under pressure particularly over how much effort was made to investigate that serious complaint made in may. that timeline today they have released, i have to tell you is very damning. the idea that after you get a complaint of any kind from concerned parents saying a major presenter is giving vast amounts of money and turning my child into a drug addict, whether or not it is true, you cannot know at that stage. you have to ring alarm bells like that. the bbc has now spoken publicly, �*the sun' has not. though it has pushed back on the claims by the lawyer for the young person at the heart of this that its story is rubbish and that nothing inappropriate or unlawful went on between the client and the presenter. today the sun had the family standing by their story, asking how their loved one could even afford a lawyer. the paper told us about the family is being attacked for not understanding the bbc complaints system. with the police now involved,

the met has asked the bbc to pause its own investigation, but the corporation does feel damaged by the story. i think the bbc is often in the midst of quite painful and difficult affairs and storms. and i think one thing i would say is these are damaging, these are clearly damaging to the bbc. it is not a good situation. there have now been days of headlines and media attention. but no real sign that the story is reaching an end. i spoke to him and asked them how serious this is for the bbc and the presenter involved.

much more serious in the last couple of hours, because as you were reporting, as helena wilkinson was telling you, we now have a second young person, a person in his or her 20s who has made a complaint. and this complaint is a complaint that bbc news has been able to investigate. what's happened is that the young person has shown the bbc messages. these came from a phone number. the bbc knows the phone number of the presenter involved or allegedly involved in this case. the bbc has been able to check the messages against the presenter�*s phone number. so through newsgathering in the traditional form, the bbc has been able to put these serious allegations to the presenter, and there's been no response so far. so that does, i think, increase the seriousness from the point of view of the presenter looking at the position of the bbc as katie razzall was telling you, i think that the director general, tim davie, is not happy with the way in which the original complaint was investigated. there was an email, there was a phone call. it was then put on hold. and he's clearly concerned enough to order an internal investigation

into how allegations like this are handled in the future. and i suppose what many people find a little bit strange about this is why the presenter wasn't spoken to, apparently by the bbc for about seven weeks. i think what tim davie is saying is that the bbc, other large employers, broadcasters, get several complaints against individuals, perhaps quite regularly against people in the public eye. and it can't simply go to the individual and say, look, there's a complaint and the individual might be a profile, high—profile presenter. anybody really working for the bbc would have to say, well, i can't deal with this. this person is misguided, this person is wrong. in other words, there needs to be a filtering system. the question is whether this filtering system was good enough. if the original allegations that were reported to the bbc, to the audience response department, the people you phone up to say whether the programme was any good or not and then was handed

on to the corporate investigation department. if these allegations were as serious as they were reported in the sun last week, then as you were reporting earlier, you would have thought that he was tim davie's words, red flags would have been raised and these allegations would have been investigated more seriously. if the investigators couldn't get hold of the family that was said to have complained, and they might well have thought that it was appropriate to put this to the presenter and see what response they got. joshua, for those who may not be across the story, why is it that we haven't named this presenter yet? can you explain that in terms of the legal implications? there are two reasons, two aspects of law. the first is privacy, which is a law that's been developed in the united kingdom in recent years by the courts. obviously, you don't have privacy in all circumstances, but broadly speaking, unless or until you're charged with a criminal offence, the fact that you may be under

investigation is not something that can be safely reported. bbc got into trouble over this a few years ago. it's possible to sue for invasion of privacy. that's one thing. the other is defamation, libel. if you can't prove it, then you may be in serious difficulty and have to pay damages. the bbc former legal correspondent. as always more on that story on our website or on the news app if you have access to that. around the world and across the uk you are watching bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news now. a manjailed a man jailed who were found dead a manjailed who were found dead in a lorry trailer. the man has been believed to be a ringleader in a people smuggling gang responsible for the deaths. he was extradited from romania to face charges. a jury

has ruled a man who killed a nine or a girl who by stabbing her in the heart as she played in the streets of boston. the girl died injuly last year as she played yards from her mother. the man charged with her murder was found unfit to enter a plea or stand trial due to mental health earlier this year. mortgage interest rates have hit the highest level for 15 years. the average cost of a two—year fixed deal is now 6.6%. the first time it has been that high since 2008 when it was a financial crisis. lenders as rates were some owners are having to find hundreds of pounds more every month. this is bbc news. you're live with bbc news. nato has confirmed that ukraine will become a full member of the alliance once conditions for that are met. speaking on the first day of a leaders' summit in lithuania, the secretary generaljens stoltenberg did not give a timetable for the process but said that kyiv�*s path to nato

membership was being accelerated. earlier, president zelensky had sharply criticised the reluctance of some nato leaders to say when his country could join the military alliance. my colleague lewis vaughan jones is in vilnius. it is the really significant here. we have heard significant news of support and help launched for ukraine, but will president zelensky see it as a no. he did not get a firm commitment on the timeline for ukrainejoining nato. to let you know what is happening, the summit centre here is a little bit quiet than normal because the presidential palace is the site of the social dinner for the palace is the site of the social dinnerfor the heads palace is the site of the social dinner for the heads of state, zelensky was there. he is there right now. he was one of those

invited to attend, a nice event for the world leaders up to the business of the day was taking care of. president zelensky flew in this afternoon, notjust for the dinner but also for a vermin, in another part of the capital, he spoke to ukrainians who were there in the city centre with him. take a listen now to his message. translation: today here in vilnius we have a ukrainian _ translation: today here in vilnius we have a ukrainian flag _ translation: today here in vilnius we have a ukrainian flag from - translation: today here in vilnius we have a ukrainian flag from the i we have a ukrainian flag from the battlefield in bakhmut, it will be remembered by our grandchildren. i came here today believing in the partners, believing in the strong nato, in a nato that does not doubt, and a nato that does not waste time or turn heads to any aggressor.

ukraine will make nato stronger, and nato will make ukraine safer. you heard that strong message and in his view to lay his weakness. i want to the words, a quick sentence from jens stoltenberg in the offer to ukraine this is what he said... we will issue an invitation for ukraine tojoin nato where will issue an invitation for ukraine to join nato where there are less agree and conditions are met. so thatis agree and conditions are met. so that is not a blanket guarantee and a firm timeline. it is, when allies agree and conditions are met. i spoke to the latvian prime minister, to get a sense of those nato conversations in the room, as it were, and i asked him about this idea of a firmer timeline for ukraine tojoin nato. take idea of a firmer timeline for ukraine to join nato. take a idea of a firmer timeline for ukraine tojoin nato. take a listen. it is absolutely a step in the right direction, — it is absolutely a step in the right direction, is it is as fast as zelensky— direction, is it is as fast as

the showers perhaps fading a little later this evening and overnight across england and wales, but some more persistent rain potentially pushing through northern ireland into southern scotland, again back into north wales and northern england. i think we've lost the humidity, so a more comfortable night for sleeping. but those breezes, that brisk wind will continue to push those showers eastwards overnight and into wednesday with that low pressure close by. perhaps a little respite in the south on thursday, but not for long. the next area of wet and windy weather comes in by the end of the week and then lingers into the weekend. we're set in this trend, really, at the moment of really very unsettled weather. so wednesday dawning with a little bit of sunshine, but the shower cloud soon gets going and they'll be heavy and frequent across northern ireland, scotland, northern england. and there will be showers further south as well. almost nowhere exempt from them, so when they come along, they will move through on that brisk wind coming from the west or the north—west. so it'll feel fresher, but as i say there is still the chance of some showers disrupting the play on wednesday at wimbledon, for example, because they will be coming through on that brisk

breeze at times. squally winds and downpours continue into the evening. they fade a little, then, as we head towards thursday morning in southern areas. again, a pleasant night for sleeping having lost that humidity, fairly cool i should imagine in the suburbs, perhaps into single figures. but that ridge of high pressure's really only around in southern areas. still some heavy showers further north. and then this next area of low pressure pushes back in with some more persistent rain and a bout of strong winds again for friday. but for thursday, again plenty of showers, slow—moving and heavy with the slightly less windy weather in the north. perhaps fewer showers in the south, but there'll still be some around. with a bit more sunshine, temperatures will be a little higher. and then into friday, as our next area of low pressure winds itself in, it will give another spell of quite heavy and thundery rain, strong winds to go with it and following some heavy showers. and you can see it stays unsettled for the most part into the early part of next week as well.
