westminster magistrates' court? yes, the bbc has said _ westminster magistrates' court?from the chairman, he felt that huw edwards was the villain in this piece. the director—general was trying to get the £200,000 back that huw edwards earned between november and april, when he left the bbc this year on medical grounds. the bbc has made abundantly clear how it feels about this, but it has been criticised by some for continuing to pay huw edwards from when he was arrested, when a small number of people in the organisation knew that he had been arrested over serious offences. but some in the legal world have said that the bbc was right to do what it did, and that he was innocent until proven otherwise, and it would have been premature and morally wrong to stop paying him. i think it is worthjust reminding our viewersjoining us what think it is worthjust reminding our viewers joining us what the sentencing is, because there are a number of elements to it, that six—month suspended sentence. but, of course, huw edwards will be on the sex offenders register for seven years, as
