they had been looking into an allegation published by the sun newspaper that huw edwards had paid a youngere under the age of 18, which would have been illegal. the bbc will now restart its internal investigation. the sun newspaper says it has no plans to publish further allegations against huw edwards. but some are questioning its decision to publish the original story, as the young person involved has said the allegations are rubbish. he has severe mental health problems and it's not a matter of the bbc dropping this case. the bbc will now begin to investigate this, take the time to do it effectively and really... and come up with conclusions when they have done so. but there may still be repercussions for huw edwards. last night a bbc staff member told bbc news they had received inappropriate and suggestive messages from the presenter. and another employee, and a third person who has left the corporation, also say they had communication from him which made them feel uncomfortable. the statement by the wife of huw edwards brings to a close the frenzied speculation on the identity of the

the sun hugh edwards himself and whilst clearly huge levels of sympathy for anybody who is suffering we don't wish anything like that upon anyone, you know, his behaviour from the allegations insinuate that allegations would insinuate that there's slightly there's something slightly untoward potentially, maybe there. i feel very, very sorry for his wife and kids. >> yes. >> yes. >> and i think that's important that they're not they're not lost all in this. martin >> they are. and you know, as a as a media adviser , one of the as a media adviser, one of the great things that has obviously changed for me over the years now is how social media has pervaded the whole landscape and effectively poisoned it because the what we used to regard as fleet street now will find that they have to go a lot further than they would normally have done, even during the, you know, the reign of the red tops. they will have to go further because if they don't, someone on social media will. and this is a problem that the whole of the media needs to needs to face up to. now because, you know , fair to. now b

further allegations are published by the sun newspaper on saturday, and on sunday, the bbc suspended a male member of staff, now known to be huw edwards which started work to assess evidence, whilst the 20—year—old mentioned in the first sun story denies the claims through lawyers. yesterday, the sun published further allegations that the presenter broke lockdown rules to visit a younger man, and other allegations of direct messages with someone under 18. 0n the same day, bbc news published claims that the presenter sent "menacing" messages to a person in their early 20s. then, just before 6pm this evening, the met police confirmed they had assessed there was no evidence of criminal activity after speaking to people involved in the initial allegations. the paused bbc investigation resumed. at the same time, huw edwards' wife, vicky flind, issued her statement confirming he was the presenter involved. she said that huw was in hospital after a serious mental health episode. she added that her husband intended to respond to the stories that have been published once he was able to. let's bring in roger bolton, former bbc executive and ind

that's what the sun had to balance when it decided not to name hugh edwards , because you name hugh edwardse you referred to article eight, right. >> to respect for a person's private and family life. article ten of the human rights convention protects freedom of expression. what the courts have always had to do is balance those two rights, not an easy thing. it all depends on the circumstance. >> cases around the sun. >> cases around the sun. >> the sun's lawyers advised it last week that privacy be outweighed the public interest in naming hugh edwards. outweighed the public interest in naming hugh edwards . well, in naming hugh edwards. well, that was their decision. it may well have been, and we don't know because the sun hasn't told us that they were concerned that if they named him , this would if they named him, this would have a very serious effect on his mental health, because as you've been reporting now, everybody knows he suffered from depression. yeah. and so we don't know why the sun didn't name him. yes it respected his privacy, but it might have been concerned that it would h

sun? >> blame huw edwards, assuming >> i blame huw edwards, assuming the allegations are true , but i the . >> the reason is a family member of the young man at the centre of the young man at the centre of this story contacted the sun is because they contacted the bbc in may and the bbc. as far as they were concerned , didn't as they were concerned, didn't respond adequately to their complaints. as far as we know, the bbc didn't even the bbc investigations unit didn't even talk to huw edwards the only time they spoke to him for the first time about the complaint was when the sun called them for comment on july 7th, just before it broke the story. so had the bbc responded to the complaint, had a word with huw edwards according to the complainant. anyway she wouldn't or the family member wouldn't have contacted the sun and the story wouldn't have blown up in the way it did. so i blame the bbc for not properly investigating the complaint and responding to what was a very serious concern i >> -- >> okay, clive, i'll bring you in now to see former bbc legal correspondent. i mean, there is a cas

very sensitive information and risks of violating the privacy of both mr edwards and the individual who is as presented by the the sune rubbished the allegations altogether. so it's a critical and it's really interesting that the the sun in their statement have quickly tried to walk back this kind of idea that they look alleged any criminality. actually, only four days ago, the the sun published an article, and i will read the headline, top bbc star who paid child for sex pictures could be charged by cops and face years in prison, expert says, just to be clear, that is categorically we now know untrue, but it is very clearly the —— the sun suggesting illegality in the case of the bbc presented that we now know as huw edwards. in presented that we now know as huw edwards. , ., , . edwards. in terms of the basic publication _ edwards. in terms of the basic publication at _ edwards. in terms of the basic publication at their _ edwards. in terms of the basic publication at their legitimate | publication at their legitimate questions about the nature of the behaviour? adam boulton from a friend of huw edwards was on newsn

that the police does not believe that a crime was committed, it is also true that the sun does not have, huw edwardsa duty of care, the bbc does. we know from the recent situation regarding phillip schofield that when a situation arises in which a person is basically hounded by the media, that that person can become very fragile and can be at risk and does require safeguarding. i'm very pleased to see that the bbc is taking its duty to its employees very carefully. just taking its duty to its employees very carefully-— taking its duty to its employees very carefully. just to interrupting ou, what very carefully. just to interrupting you. what the _ very carefully. just to interrupting you, what the bbc— very carefully. just to interrupting you, what the bbc has _ very carefully. just to interrupting you, what the bbc has said - very carefully. just to interrupting you, what the bbc has said is - very carefully. just to interrupting | you, what the bbc has said is that first of all, it did get a vast amount of complaints and you can see why people might be motivated to make them in the first place, a

a spokesperson from the sun i newspaper says the sun has no plans to publish any further allegations of huw edwardserate with the bbc investigation process. the sun also added from the outset, they have reported about two very concerned and frustrated parents who made a complaint to the bbc. we reported that the parents had already been to the police who said they couldn't help. it is now for they couldn't help. it is now for the bbc to properly investigate. that is what the sun newspaper has said in a statement. and that is what the sun newspaper has said in a statement.— said in a statement. and laura, 'ust thinkin: said in a statement. and laura, 'ust thinking about�* said in a statement. and laura, 'ust thinking about the i said in a statement. and laura, 'ust thinking about the staff i said in a statement. and laura, 'ust thinking about the staff here i said in a statement. and laura, just thinking about the staff here in the l thinking about the staff here in the bbc, obviously the last five days, this has been such a focus. every time you walked into your broadcasting house, there were camer

edwards. there have also been allegations from the sun that the presenter broke lockdown rules to go and meetions for the bbc now about what happens in the newsroom relating to that presenter. two bbc employees and one former employee have told bbc news that they received what they believed were inappropriate messages from huw edwards. 0ne told us that the messages were suggestive on social media, that they felt uncomfortable and it left them feeling awkward. they believe there was a power dynamic in the newsroom that bbc bosses need to deal with and that has been ignored. the bbc say, "we always treat the concerns of staff with care and would urge anyone to speak to us if they have anyone to speak to us if they have any concerns". but in the building tonight, very conflicted feelings and the bbc is going to have to work through all of that over the next few days and weeks. thank you, lucy mannin: at few days and weeks. thank you, lucy manning at broadcasting _ few days and weeks. thank you, lucy manning at broadcasting house. i and there�*s more coverage and analysis on newsnight tonight. th

told that the sun was planning before this , this set of circum before this, this set of circum stances was announced with the metropolitan police and then of course, the naming of hugh edwardsere told that the sun was planning to publish fresh allegations tomorrow. so let's see what they do when the papers are published later today. >> thank you. thank you very much, mark. we'll have to read the sun tomorrow and see what they've us. but now they've got for us. but i'm now joined former editor of joined by the former editor of bbc's question time, david keighley. david, thank very keighley. david, thank you very much for joining keighley. david, thank you very much forjoining us. how much of a problem is this for the bbc? is the bbc unable to investigate itself to keep control of its employees? i mean, you would have thought after the various scandals it's been through, it would have investigated as soon as it heard about this matter. >> i agree entirely. >> i agree entirely. >> and the problem is, as you say, the bbc has got a long history of form in this domain of not really investigating itself properly . going right itself properly. going right back to the princess di af

they had been looking into an allegation published by the sun newspaper that huw edwards had paid a young0 for sexually—explicit images whilst they were under the age of 18, which would have been illegal. the bbc will now restart its internal investigation. the sun newspaper says it has no plans to publish further allegations against huw edwards. but some are questioning its decision to publish the original story, as the young person involved has said the allegations are rubbish. he has severe mental health problems and it's not a matter of the bbc dropping this case. the bbc will now begin to investigate this, take the time to do it effectively and really and come up with conclusions and come up with conclusions when they have done so. but there may still be repercussions for huw edwards. last night, a bbc staff member told bbc news they had received inappropriate and suggestive messages from the presenter. and another employee, and a third person who has left the corporation, also say they had communication from him, which made them feel uncomfortable. the statement by the wife of huw e

edwards is the famous star at the heart of accusations over sexually explicit photos. she says the newsreader is in hospital suffering from serious mental health issues. major questions tonight for the suner as police rule there was no evidence of a criminal offence in its allegations against huw edwards. we'll ask tonight, would its story ever have been published if it hadn't alluded to questions of criminality? and questions for the bbc, too, as new allegations emerge of inappropriate messages sent by the presenter on social media to junior employees within the organisation. also tonight: the prime minister, rishi sunak, is set to make a decision on whether to give some public sector workers pay rises of around 6%. but where's the money coming from? and this... wham's andrew ridgeley tells newsnight exclusively he wants to create an abba—style show for wham. i think it could be done. i think it could be done exceptionally well. the technology exists now. it will only get better. the interview coming up in 30 minutes. good evening. the story about huw edwards is a personal one for him and his family. he's being treated as an in—patient in hospital according to his wife, who released a

but but hugh edwards was only told about these allegations two days before they were printed in the sun well, i think in the bbc's latest statement, they are saying they became aware on the 6th of july and then three days later they then suspended hugh edwards. but but it's quite telling that the police say that there is no criminality here because one of the allegations is that there were inappropriate photos of a child and an english law. a child is someone who hasn't reached their 18th birthday yet. so and this individual in the first allegation, because i think there's about four now, the individual in the first allegation has said it's absolute nonsense, but it does raise questions , as the family raise questions, as the family has said , they have evidence has said, they have evidence that there was a transfer of money from mr edwards to their son in this case of £35,000. so it'll be interesting to find what the police actually say about all this later on. i think we're just scratching the surface at the moment. i think i do want to also just point out, paul do want to also just p

has misused its position by suspending hugh edwards, the most important and best news anchor, or not, this issue also raises questions about the ethics of the sunspaper, one of the british powers . the sun newspaper in a news he claimed a star importantly, bc paid 40,000 euros for the nude pictures of a 17-year-old teenager. the teenager's parents claimed that he was vulnerable and used this money to buy cocaine. these events have passed a few days and made it worse. currently in hospital and under observation based on the results of the police investigation , there is evidence of a crime at buckingham palace. inappropriate is published to trace employees the bbc's internal investigation into the professional behavior of f. son in these views is aimed at the sun newspaper, which is owned by robert murdoch. this newspaper has only published the words of the parents of the teenager about the photos, for the reality of the teenager that this story is false. has not published about the way sun newspaper reports, there is a subsidized collection of people who after a week of publishing this news on the front page of newspapers , it seems that the tr
