The BBC Trust has said it stands by the "robust" conclusions of Nick Pollard's report into the dropped Newsnight investigation into Jimmy Savile after questions were raised about its validity.

Earlier today, a phone recording was published in which Mr Pollard talks about why he did not include the claim in his report.
Mr Thompson, who is now chief executive of the New York Times, has always said he "took no part" in the decision to halt the Newsnight investigation.
