Morgan Gibbs-White holds further talks with Nottingham Forest amid dispute over planned £60m move to Tottenham, but does train with his team-mates as Premier League weighs up investigation
Morgan Gibbs-White has held further talks with Nottingham Forest and trained with his team-mates amid his club's dispute with Tottenham. The England international looked set to sign for Spurs last week for about £60million, until the deal was dramatically halted when Forest reported Spurs to the Premier League for an alleged 'illegal' approach. That meant Gibbs-White was back at Forest's training ground on Monday, having been given extra time off because he played for England in June. The 25-year-old has a release clause which Spurs are thought to have triggered, but Forest were furious with their approach and accused them of effectively tapping up the player. Mail Sport understands Forest told Tottenham not to make any further contact with Gibbs-White and have written to both Spurs and the Premier League. Premier League officials are now likely to decide whether to investigate. Should they do so, and should Spurs be found guilty, they could face a hefty fine or even a transfer ban. While Forest declined to comment, it is thought they attempted to resolve the situation amicably, but have not been able to do so. As a result, an explosive letter has been sent to Tottenham and the Premier League. They have also raised the prospect of legal action. Spurs declined to comment and the League were contacted for comment. The midfielder has four England caps and had been of interest to Manchester City this summer.

When will the BBC learn from its errors?
It was a bad day for the BBC. First an internal report into accusations made against the MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace criticised institutional failures to stop him earlier. It upheld 45 alleged instances of making inappropriate and sexually explicit comments. He was also found to have been 'in a state of undress' on three separate occasions and of making unwanted physical contact on another. The upshot is that Wallace, who denied the allegations and says he has autism, has been sacked and will never work for the BBC again. Complaints about Wallace's behaviour on MasterChef were raised with the BBC as long ago as 2013 and then again in subsequent years. Yet he continued to present the flagship programme until November last year. Only when this newspaper published the allegations did the BBC act with characteristic tardiness. This has been ruinous to Wallace's career and an embarrassment to the BBC, once again questioning the rigour of the Corporation's protocols. The same can be said of the second report to land on the desk of Tim Davie, the director-general. This confirmed that the BBC breached its editorial guidelines by failing to disclose that the child narrator of a Gaza documentary was the son of a Hamas official. The report criticised the BBC for not being 'sufficiently proactive' with initial editorial checks, and for a 'lack of critical oversight of unanswered or partially answered questions' ahead of broadcast. The fact that the BBC was unaware of the Hamas background of the narrator's father is irrelevant. The point is that it should have been far more diligent in establishing the bona fides of the programme before airing it, given the sensitivities of the subject matter. Why was a child narrator being used at all other than to give a tendentious slant to the reportage? The report said this was 'inappropriate' and it is hard to understand how the BBC, with all its checks, balances and regulations, let it slip through the net. Once again Mr Davie is facing calls for his resignation, as he did after the BBC's failure to prevent the broadcast of allegedly anti-Semitic rants by the rap artist Bob Vylan at Glastonbury. He has promised to 'prevent such errors being repeated' but where Israel is concerned they keep recurring. For how much longer?

Not priority to devolve youth justice in Wales says UK minister
A UK government minister has been accused of pouring "cold water" on the prospect of the Welsh government taking control over probation and youth Labour-led Cardiff administration has been pushing for further devolution on criminal justice - calls that Westminster colleagues have promised to Prisons Minister Lord Timpson has told a committee in the Welsh Parliament it is not "a priority" while the criminal justice system is "in crisis".Labour MS Jenny Rathbone said the comments were very disappointing. Lord Timpson says the criminal justice system faced "huge pressures" and there needed to be "stability" before "further changes" were considered. Under the system of devolution established in 1999, the Senedd and Welsh government have never had control over criminal reports, including one from the former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown, have called for more devolution on criminal justice including youth justice and the probation summer's Welsh Labour manifesto said the party would "explore" the devolution of probation "to enable them to be more locally responsive".It was planned as part of a strategic review into probation and added it would "consider" the devolution of youth to the Senedd's equality and social justice committee, the Prisons' Minister Lord Timpson told MSs that "we need to be in a much more stable position before we can think about further changes".Mick Antoniw, the former chief legal adviser to the Welsh Government, says there are "volumes of evidence" that devolution of probation "needs to happen and quickly".The Labour former counsel general told the committee that there was "no logical response to that other than we've had a decade of delay on actually looking at the enormous accumulation of evidence".Questioning Lord Timpson, he said: "What you seem to be suggesting is that we are going to go through that process of just continually looking at the evidence without ever really coming to a proper conclusion."Former Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price added: "Are you ruling out for the foreseeable future the full devolution of executive and legislative powers?".Lord Timpson said he wanted to "stabilise" a "bruised" service but added: "I'm not ruling anything out, I'm not ruling anything in. "What I'm focused on is trying to sort out the crisis in our justice system." After the meeting committee chair, Labour MS for Cardiff Central, Jenny Rathbone said the committee was "very disappointed"."The Welsh government has already started the groundwork to prepare because it believed there was a realistic prospect that these aspects could be devolved soon," she said."This is in stark contrast to Lord Timpson's evidence before the Committee today which seemed to pour cold water on the prospect."
