she says the man, known publicly as x, used his position as an mi5 agent to terrorise her. about the abuse by x. it meant beth's case would largely be kept secret, even from her. but this week we revealed that mi5 had told me that x was an agent when seeking to stop a story

about his extremism, we were together has actually been proven to be the case — what they want. he was telling the truth. there were official investigations into what happened. to the bbc and all three courts. i don't matter to them. a spotlight on the way they behave. about me again. due to our new revelations, beth will return to court for a new decision on whether her case can be heard in the open.

when an asteroid is first spotted, we're still learning about its orbit. the asteroid could pass through anywhere in this red zone. it's called the area of uncertainty and it's big. earth is in it too, but the risk of a collision is low. so the risk increases. but as we learn even more, the area of uncertainty shrinks further, hopefully to a point where the earth is outside of it so there's zero risk of a collision. as they can but time is short. after may it won't be visible again until 2028, webb space telescope.
