Huw Edwards says he recognises "the hurt he has done to those who appear in such images." This hurt is a child being revictimised every time the images are looked at. This hurt is the abuse they experienced while the images were being taken. This hurt is the shame and fear of others seeing these images in the future. This is not a victimless crime, and neither is the impact time-limited.
It is vital that we start having real conversations about how we stop this from continuing to happen and how we support the children in the pictures to recover.
If this has impacted on you, please feel free to reach out to us.
Today, we remember the sacrifices made by all those involved in the D-Day landings.
On this day 80 years ago, more than 5,000 ships and landing craft delivered 150,000 troops to five beaches in Normandy. 4,440 Allied soldiers lost their lives on D-Day - the first day of Operation Overlord, which ultimately brought about the liberation of German-occupied Western Europe.

Commissioner on @LBC reflecting on the bravery of police officers:
"They are just extraordinary - charging towards somebody with a sword.
"Putting themselves at risk because they are so connected to the idea it is their job to protect the public.
"Great examples of the thousands of men and women doing amazing things, confronting dangerous people - it is a privilege to lead them and work with them."
For many people with blood cancer or a blood disorder, a #stemcell transplant may give them a second chance at life. ❤️
This #WorldCancerDay there is a simple step that you can take to make all the difference: joining the stem cell register.
