. corporate investigations team. in the 19, that team assessed that the allegation as very serious and said that the bbc maintained that the complaint that they received did not include an allegation of criminality . and still on the criminality. and still on the 19th, the investigate team then emailed the complainant stating how seriously the bbc takes such allegations and seeking some more information . but they say more information. but they say they got no response as nothing more was done in an effort, it seems, to contact the complainant until two and a half weeks later when a phone call was made telling a phone call to the complainant that. but that did not connect. and then again , nothing else happened. no other email, no phone call until the sun contact the family, contact the bbc. sorry, on the 6th of july, two, share the allegation actions and the fact that they were about to splash with that story the very next day. only at that point, patrick on the 6th of july did the bbc see then assign a senior manag

saying, well, we can't really touch on that because of an ongoing investigation by the corporate investigations teamissue about perhaps the complaints procedure and how complaints are dean procedure and how complaints are dealt with in the early stages, that may be something that he can answer in a bit more detail. he did give some explanation when he had a briefing with reporters at the beginning of the week. that was of course, to launch the bbc's annual report, but it was by all of this scandal and he did acknowledge that they are going to review, as a matter of urgency their complaints procedure to see how they red flag the complaints of a potentially serious nature mark outside new broadcasting house for us once more. house for us once more. >> house for us once more. >> thanks very much for bringing us the latest there . us the latest there. >> let's speak now to former bbc home affairs correspondent danny shaw, who you believe . i shaw, who you believe. i understand that the corporation has a duty of care towards the broadcaster now towards huw edwards, after what has emerged about what is cl

it is right that the bbc�*s corporate investigation team continue to investigate these thoroughly andion, neitherto criminality. and also took the decision, neither to name mr edwards nor the young person involved in the allegations. suggestions about possible criminality were first made at a later date by other media outlets, including the bbc. from the outset, we have reported the story about two concerned and frustrated parents who made a complaint to the bbc about the behaviour of a presenter and payments from him that fuelled the drug habit of a young person. that statement from the sun, we are asking this morning, a general conversation about the media, but specifically, did the sun get it wrong? get in touch. and let's get the news. the bbc investigation into the conduct of huw edwards is resuming. police announced yesterday that allegations he paid a young person for sexually explicit photos did not involve criminality. huw edwards was identified as the bbc presenter at the centre of the claims by his wife — who says he's being treated in hospitalfor serious mental health issu

complaint made by the parents of a young person back on the 18th of may that got to the corporate investigations teamtake such allegations runs and was after some more information than they claim the bbc that they didn't get a response to that yet they waited two and a half weeks before are then attempting a telephone call to the complainant that telephone call, we're told by the bbc, didn't connect, but then there was no subsequent phone calls right up until the point the 6th of july that the sun newspaper contacted the bbc to say that they had this story , that they would be splashing with the very next day. only at that point it was the presenter informed about the allegations that had been made and it seems any real urgency about what the bbc was doing with regard to those allegations was kicked in at that point. so yes, very serious questions for the bbc on the procedures of dealing with complaints which they are looking at at that element. but certainly the other allegations just can't be investigated because the police have asked them to . not them to. not >> yeah, and given all that, you were

investigation team have been looking into those allegations. however, he says accusations of a different nature are put to the corporation on thursday.says that the bbc is in touch with the family have made any claims against this presenter. the other key point is that the bbc has been in touch with the police. how critical it is for the bbcif these are true, it could be seen as a abuse of power and trust —— trust? and other male presenter paying a teenager for explicit sexual photos. if serious allegations are made against a member of staff, why were they not suspended immediately. there are so many questions the bbc needs to answer to the family that made these claims, its staff, and also licensee players. == made these claims, its staff, and also licensee players.— also licensee players. -- licence fee payers- _ also licensee players. -- licence fee payers- the _ also licensee players. -- licence fee payers. the bbc— also licensee players. -- licence fee payers. the bbc is - also licensee players. -- licence fee payers. the bbc is an - fee payers. the bbc is an organisation known around the world, what has been the reaction to thi
