If the Sun has good evidence of wrongdoing by the BBC presenter, it should name him. If not, it should never have published the story in the first place.

The Sun says it “at no point in our original story alleged criminality”. But didn’t this later story raise the possibility of criminality? thesun.co.uk/news/22985844/…

The Sun also says it did not "name" Edwards. But it did say he was a "household name", a man and had a six figure salary. Wasn't this likely to narrow the field down so that it was soon an open secret who he was? He was the BBC's third-highest paid man. bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

The Sun says it will provide the BBC with a “redacted” dossier about Huw Edwards. What sort of things will it redact and why?BBC should be careful about using such a dossier unless it gets a good answer to this question.

On Reuters Breakingviews: The US and allies created a committee to vet exports to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This gave its partners a say in setting policy. The G7 should set up something similar to handle the quasi-Cold War with China, says Hugo Dixon reut.rs/3K10Zgq

Anybody doubting whether Sunak is going soft on climate change should look at these chance. The UK carbon price was tracking the EU one until early this year, but since then a massive discount has opened.

With 3 new mega petrostates (Saudi, Iran and UAE) joining their ranks on top of Russia, don’t expect the BRICS Plus to do anything good for the climate.

Don’t expect BRICS Plus to do anything for democracy and human rights. 5/6 new members are autocratic - on top of China and Russia.

So Modi got a deal. But I can’t see anything important in the G20 declaration about climate, debt or peace. Which is not surprising since the world is splitting into camps.

Biden just said that China’s economic troubles, probably mean there’s less chance of conflict with America. I think he’s probably right. If so, there’s a big silver lining China’s difficulties.
