Overview

• Multiple outlets report that at least one strand of the BBC’s work has cleared Richard Frediani of bullying, and he has told colleagues he expects no further action and will continue overseeing BBC Breakfast and the News at One.
• The BBC issued a standard statement declining to comment on individual HR matters while stressing it takes workplace conduct complaints extremely seriously.
• Work examining presenter Naga Munchetty’s conduct is ongoing, with sources saying a fuller investigation remains a possibility.
• Unnamed insiders cited in several reports say Munchetty and co-host Charlie Stayt are furious about the outcome and could leave, underscoring internal strains on the programme.
• The review has involved a PwC adviser and a 70-session staff listening exercise and sits alongside a separate earlier grievance that was upheld after an allegation Frediani shook a junior editor.
