happened, that was the thing that was most mortifying and humiliating because it was my younger brother who saw it. but needing the work and having signed a nondisclosure agreement, she says she felt unable to speak out until now. if i can't speak out as a middle aged, middle class woman that i am now, i wasn't back then, but i am now, then i'll never speak out. i've got two daughters and two nieces, and i want to be able to look them in the eye and say, i tried to do the right thing. in response, gregg wallace's lawyers say... meanwhile, the company that makes masterchef says gregg wallace has stepped away while they investigate.

his current masterchef series is continuing to be broadcast, but two christmas specials and repeats of his other programmes have been dropped from the schedule. david sillito, bbc news. i spoke to the bbc�*s entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba and asked him what all this means for the corporation well, a significant amount of pressure still on the bbc, because, of course, gregg wallace for so many years has been one of the prime time faces of the corporation. now his lawyers have strongly denied he engages in behaviour of a sexual harassing nature, but last night even more pressure on the bbc, with allegations emerging from when he took part in the bbc�*s biggest programme, strictly come dancing. the sun newspaper is reporting that unnamed bbc bosses received complaints about him using language in a sexually inappropriate way when he appeared on the show back in 2014, but that they continued to let him compete on the programme.

a spokesperson for the bbc has said. "while we do not comment on individuals, we take any issues that are raised with us seriously and we have robust processes in place to deal with them. we are always clear any behaviour that falls below the standards expected by the bbc will not be tolerated." and of course at the same time as all of this, people are asking, are the corporation making the right decisions under pressure? two christmas festive celebrity editions of masterchef will now not be broadcast by the bbc, but the current series of masterchef: the professionals is still going out on bbc one. the bbc says that is because the programme can be life changing for the chefs who take part. a lot of people do agree with that decision, a lot people are still very very angry that the programme is still going out. if you have just joined

if you havejustjoined us if you have justjoined us a reminder that we are expecting our speech from their prime minister sir keir starmer, we can see him sitting in the audience there along with angela rayner audience there along with angela rayner who audience there along with angela rayner who will audience there along with angela rayner who will also audience there along with angela rayner who will also be speaking at this event in buckinghamshire which is being billed as a plan for change for britain. we're going to hear him set out targets which labour are labelling as milestones on various things including policing and the nhs. we were there live as live as soon as angela rayner takes to the stage in the meantime, let's take a at some of the other news today... the price of a single bitcoin has climbed above $100,000 for the first time — after rising almost 140% this year. investors expect president—elect donald trump to support crytocurrencies. he has promised to make america the "crypto capital of the planet" and to create a national stockpile of bitcoin. keeping with his promise for a crypto friendly administration, president elect donald trump plans to nominate

former sec commissioner paul atkins to head the agency, that's according to a post on truth social. currently the ceo at potomac global partners, atkins is well known on wall street and within republican political circles. he'd been widely expected to get the role as the nation's top financial market regulator, and, if confirmed, atkins would succeed gary gensler, who has been widely lambasted by the digital currency community for his many efforts to crack down on the $3.5 trillion crypto market. trump's position on crypto mirrors his larger pro—deregulation stance during his first time in office. trump has promised an easier route for bitcoin and its peers, and the market has soared since his election victory on november the 5th. atkins served as sec commissioner from 2002 to 2008 under then president george w bush. along with adopting a pro crypto stance, atkins was critical of some of the reforms that emerged from the global financial crisis in 2008. specifically, he criticised the dodd—frank legislation as too stringent on

the banking industry. let's return to our main story and we are waiting for that speech from the prime minister, sir keir starmer. you can see the stage is set and you can see plan for change is written there on that stage and that is what it is all about. they are playing a video at the moment and we will be back when the deputy prime minister, angela rayner, gets to the stage. 0ur political correspondent is watching it with us. hannah, for people who have just joined, the milestones can explain what they are. this is the government's _ explain what they are. this is the government's attempt. explain what they are. this is the government's attempt to | explain what they are. this is . the government's attempt to set out what it really believes in. what its priorities are five months are to the days since keir starmer became prime minister. i think there is an acceptance, ora minister. i think there is an acceptance, or a belief in government that people are not necessarily clear about what the government stands for and we are expecting to hear the

prime minister talking about milestones. some people might call them targets. around a number of different issues. around policing, we know there's going to be one about recruiting extra police officers which is about, i think, helping people to feel safer and more secure on the streets. we are expecting to hear something around housing, around the economy, the nhs, as well. the idea is for people watching to know how they can define success and indeed failure by the government and also for people in westminster and whitehall and civil servants and ministers looking at what is going to get priority in terms of money. when it comes to it, the finances are tight and what we are expecting... finances are tight and what we are expecting. . ._ finances are tight and what we are expecting... hannah, i need to interrupt _ are expecting... hannah, i need to interrupt you _ are expecting... hannah, i need to interrupt you because - are expecting... hannah, i need to interrupt you because angela j to interrupt you because angela rayner has got on stage. this

there. i lost count of the number of times thatjust in those couple of minutes she said working people, hannah. absolutely. and how many times have we heard them talk about working people both during the election campaign and through the past five months? to some extent, i think there is a risk there for the labour government... what struck me listening to it was the working people language but also an opportunity, goodjobs, people language but also an opportunity, good jobs, they have clearly decided that this is what they want to prioritise, what they think people want to hear and to feel. there is an element that we have kind of heard this language repeatedly, they have beenin language repeatedly, they have been in government for five months and here they are saying it again. arguably, five months is not very long in the grand scheme of a parliament, they will have at least four, most

likely five, years to deliver. but how long will it take until people really start to feel the impact? i think many people who have watched these kind of events from keir starmer before will think, we have heard about the missions and now we're hearing about the milestones and much of the language is quite similar but people want actual action to be happening rather than yet more speeches. i think what we are expecting to hear from i think what we are expecting to hearfrom keir starmer is a kind of outline of what that action looks like and how it can be measured. but the idea of who they are trying
