edwards' private life. those were separate from the criminal charges. on a welsh language radio program, he referred to the now disgraced newsreader as poor hugh, and wente his "huge contribution." she was aware edwards had been arrested last year but was not aware of the details which emerged in court wednesday this week and said she was horrified by those details and her thoughts are with the children whose images are so central to the story. i asked her whether she was made aware of the investigation into edwards in november last year. she has not answered that question, neither has she answered whether she stands by the comments made on that radio program. there will be people asking this evening whether she was wise to publicly praise someone she knew had been arrested in november last year. steve: what is next? reporter: who knows? hugh edwards is due back in court, september. he will find out whether he faces prison. that seems unlikely. we will see. steve: thank you so much for getting us up to speed. plenty more to read on that story on our website, bbc.com. stay with us on bbc news. a lot more to bring you when it comes to discussions on the m

the victims are those children for whose degradation hugh edwards provided a market for. e still took licence fee money to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds. now the board has backed the decisions made by the director general back in november. i understand that at that time, the bbc did try to ascertain whether hugh edwards admitted that he had images of this serious nature, but they couldn't establish the facts. but obviously what's emerged since has really dented trust in the bbc, and recouping some of that money would restore some of that. but how realistic is it they are making a moral argument to a man whose behaviour has been anything but. so if that fails, they will be considering legal action. but it is... there's no certainty around that. i mean, some contracts do have clauses, for example penalties if somebody is convicted of a crime. but from the contact i've had with employment lawyers, it's not clear on what legal basis the bbc could try to claw back the cash. so the statement today, i think, was as much about getting on the front foot after some ver

really serious questions from the government and crucially licence fee payers, chiefly why wasn�*t hugh edwardsgned, he wasn�*t dismissed, why did he get a pay rise in that time, and does the bbc have the right safeguarding policies in place now? some important questions about trust in the front pages so some real scrutiny. the bbc say in november 2023, whilst mr edwards was suspended, the bbc as his impure employer at the time was made aware in confidence that he had been arrested on suspicion of serious offences and array —— released on bail whilst the police continued their investigation. at the time no charges had been brought against mr edwards and the bbc had been made aware of significant risk to his health. we know now that the bbc knew what those serious offences were, he had been accused of making indecent images of children. the bbc said if he had been charged while he was still employed by the bbc he would have been sacked. the reputation of huw edwards lies in tatters and the bbc is under real pressure to prove it acted in the right way. pressure to prove it acted in the riaht wa.

hugh williams. you were sorry. huw edwards. you did in this.en. >> that's what one of the bbc executives has said, is that it was just so well hidden. but there is criticism, isn't there, that the bbc hasn't learnt its lessons from history? there's a piece by stephen glover in the daily mail today , essentially daily mail today, essentially saying that all organisations have their bad apples, but they are often allowed to go rotten at the bbc, and he evokes the names of jimmy savile, rolf harris and now huw edwards. has he got a point? >> well, obviously, when you put it together like that, when you're talking about things over 30 years, you're talking about the main bbc broadcast and poisoning 20 odd thousand people, etcetera, etcetera . you people, etcetera, etcetera. you should do all of that, you know. and they didn't. did they know about rolf harris? no. the question for the bbc is you can't be blamed for what it does. nobody can be blamed if it hasn't put processes in place which would increase the likelihood of it finding out about these
