richard. thank you very much.chard sharp has often been the public face of the bbc — the corporation's chairman, whose role is to uphold its independence. the bbc itself has to be more competitive. he was appointed by the then—prime minister, borisjohnson, and the culture secretary. it's that relationship between borisjohnson and richard sharp which is now under scrutiny. the former goldman sachs banker is reported to have helped arrange an £800,000 loan to mrjohnson late in 2020. that loan was reportedly being guaranteed by the millionaire businessman sam blyth, who asked mr sharp for advice. mr sharp discussed this with the head of the civil service — this man, simon case — who was appointed by borisjohnson, and introduced him to sam blyth. just weeks later, mrjohnson had recommended mr sharp as his preferred candidate for the £160,000—a—year role as bbc chairman. candidates for the role must declare any conflict of interest. mr sharp says there wasn't one, as he'd just connected the two men. a cabinet office sp

you mention impartiality and richard| impartiality and richard carapaz publicly criticised bbc journalistng the government and i wonder what sense you get as media editor of how the bbc�*s reputation impartiality is affected by this —— richard sharp's publicly criticised. perception matter and that is what i have been saying to my reporting of this is that perceptions matter and you know, his impartiality is potentially being called into question and that does potentially reflect on the bbc. but at the same time i suppose it is worth pointing out this isn't her bbc story in the way that perhaps other bbc stories might come about. this is a story of a person who is appointed by the government. so the bbc had nothing to do with his appointment. the government decides who is going to be bbc ever, was always thus, some have been labour but mainly in recent years obviously they've been conservative so in that sense, feels a little bit more distant than from the bbc than covering some other bbc stories that i might tackle in the future. , . . , future. use watch viewers will know there — future

richard sharp was appointed as chairman of the bbc injanuary 2021.r of the day and the prime minister of the day and the culture secretary in government, and the sunday times is reporting today that, weeks before that appointment, richard sharp, along a friend of the former prime minister borisjohnson, helped him get access to a loan of up to £800,000, and he did that through meeting with a distance cousin of mrjohnson, a wealthy canadian businessman, sam blythe, proposing to act as a guarantorfor blythe, proposing to act as a guarantor for that loan. blythe, proposing to act as a guarantorfor that loan. he blythe, proposing to act as a guarantor for that loan. he was later put in touch by richard sharp with cabinet secretary, the most senior official in government, simon case. that, as far as richard sharp as saying in his short statement, is the end of it. he simply connected individuals. the sunday times says he didn't declare any of that when he was applying for the job and indeed appointed for the role of bbc chairman and that raises what some s

the first one is, how did richard sharp get the job in the first place? based on the sunday times story, it looked as though there was some involvement with an £800,000 loan to borisjohnson to help him out of a sticky situation with his personalfinances — that was the central allegation — did he get thejob because he essentially had helped the prime minister out? what richard sharp is saying today and he was saying in his email yesterday, was that he did have a communication with an old friend, sam blyth, who wanted to help out the prime minister because he had seen in the press that there were some problems with his finances. that was only a matter of passing on some information to simon case, the cabinet secretary, and then it was no more after that because of course at that time, he was applying for the job of the bbc and he says there is no conflict of interest because all he did was pass on the name of sam blyth onwards and he was not involved in the loan. but there's the second element of it, which is that once it becomes front page news, lots of pe

>> that's an interesting question, richard.al charges here unless their conduct was so reckless to rise to the level where they had criminal intent. the more likely outcome here is that abigail zwerner has a case against the school district for their gross negligence. usually school districts and other municipal arms of government like police departments, for example, don't have exposure to people who get injured in situations like this. they have what's called sovereign immunity. that's a topic we talked a lot about, at least for these cases. here the question is whether the behavior was so grossly negligent, whether they failed to exercise any care at all such that it was almost inevitable that abigail zwerner or someone else would have been injured or even worse killed. >> what about the parents here, lisa? what is their responsibility? >> the parents say through their attorney that the gun was secured. but if the gun was not, in fact, secured then, they do have some exposure, not only civilly, but perhaps in terms of crimin

i have no reason at all to doubt richard sharp's integrity. of our public institutions, everything has to be crystal clear and transparent, and it does not mean, of course, that there was a conflict of interest, but the appearance of a conflict of interest is what is important. richard sharp, often the public face of the bbc, denies arranging any loan and says all he did was facilitate contact with between a businessman, sam blyth, who wanted to help boris johnson financially, and the head of the cabinet office. he e—mailed bbc staff today, saying, i was not involved in making a loan or arranging a guarantee, and i did notarrange any financing. what i did do was to seek an introduction of sam blyth to the relevant official in government. i also reminded the cabinet secretary that i had submitted my application for the position of bbc chairman. we both agreed to avoid any conflict that i should have nothing further to do with the matter. we then asked them if there's anything else they haven't declared... today at the public accounts committee,

the first one is the - conversation between richard sharpe and sam blythe while richard sharp apply toecretary and said i'd been approached this way and they said this ends now. you don't take part in any more of this and that's the end of conflict of interest and that was the end of it so there was no conflict of interest and he believes he got the job on merit, conflict of interest and he believes he got thejob on merit, not conflict of interest and he believes he got the job on merit, not because of his relationship with the prime minister and finances. the second one is the issue of whether he should have told more people. he told simon case but there was an advisory panel that was part of the appointment process in the commons media select committee which has a role in the approval of the bbc chairman. they knew nothing about it and there will certainly be questions from members of that committee as to why they did not know about this particular incident. so where does it go from here? we have so where does it go from here? - have the commissioner for public appointments, william

before he was appointed as bbc chair, richard sharp was quizzed by mps about his political links. if you think it's appropriate that you should end up, as a massive tory donor, getting a job from a tory cabinet minister when you're friends with two members of the cabinet. firstly, i think that is an entirely legitimate question to ask. - well, thank you. and the answer is, - really, on my merits am ian appropriate candidate? will i be able to do a good job? i and i think that's for you to judge. and that was for the panel to judge. labour want an investigation into whether borisjohnson broke parliamentary rules, and say these revelations could have an impact on the bbc. i think it's pretty extraordinary if someone who was running to be the chairman ends up acting as a broker to help the prime minister of the day out of whatever financial difficulties he was in. at the very least that should all have been declared and brought into the open. a spokesperson for borisjohnson said all of his financial arrangements had been properly declared and registered. the bbc says it has no role i
