Newscast - BBC Presenter Allegations: New Claims
Download BBC Presenter Allegations: New Claims
A young person has told BBC News they felt threatened by the presenter at the centre of a row over payment for sexually explicit photos.
We go through the new details, and speak to Radio 4 presenter Sarah Montague, after she interviewed the man in charge of the BBC, director general Tim Davie. And Craig Oliver, former senior editor at BBC News, gives his verdict on how the corporation is covering itself.
Also, in Ireland people are going to the pub to watch the news. Political correspondent Gavan Reilly from Virgin Media News tells us why.

We have made a small amendment to this podcast since we published it. Originally it was said that GB News broadcast Tim Davie’s interview live on its channel, which it didn’t.
Today’s Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Chris Flynn with Alex Collins and Gemma Roper. The senior news editors are Jonathan Aspinwall and Sam Bonham.
