内容摘要：But she testified that Mr Combs soon asked her to participate in what prosecutors referred to as "hotel nights," when Mr Combs hired an escort in order to watch Jane engage in sexual acts with another man. The first encounter in May 2021 took place in Miami, and she believed it would be a one-off experience.

But she testified that Mr Combs soon asked her to participate in what prosecutors referred to as "hotel nights," when Mr Combs hired an escort in order to watch Jane engage in sexual acts with another man. The first encounter in May 2021 took place in Miami, and she believed it would be a one-off experience.

But MI5 pushed back and denied it had departed from the policy, including in correspondence with the Investigatory Powers Commissioner himself Sir Brian Leveson, a former High Court judge best known for chairing a public inquiry into the culture and standards of the media.MI5 told IPCO: "We would like to make clear that we did not in fact take any such decision. [X's] status was not disclosed to the BBC either at that time or subsequently."

In December 2023 Sir Brian wrote back, saying that "based on the records available" it was "entitled to conclude as a justifiable inference, on the balance of probabilities, that MI5 disclosed [X's] role as a CHIS".He said that MI5 had provided no documentary evidence to support its position, nor any explanation about how it had convinced me not to run a story about X, as the Security Service had claimed."I note that MI5 has not disputed that disclosure was, at least, contemplated… either there was inadequate record keeping or there has been a failure to make records available to inspectors. Either would represent a serious compliance failure," he said.

First, the report said that "an operational plan was agreed that there would be no disclosure that X was an MI5 CHIS". This was the opposite of the truth. MI5's entire operational plan involved a sustained attempt to persuade me to stop doing a story by disclosing that X was an agent.

Second, the report said "it was not MI5 policy to record all such exchanges" with journalists. This was untrue. There was a policy requiring such exchanges to be recorded.Scottish Labour has taken Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse from the SNP in a closely fought by-election.

The vote followed the death of SNP MSP Christina McKelvie, who had represented the constituency since 2011.Labour's Davy Russell won with 8,559 votes, with a majority of 602 over the SNP.
