Huw Edwards, one of the BBC’s highest-profile anchors and who was suspended last year over allegations of paying for explicit images, resigned from the broadcaster on Monday. Mr. Edwards, 62, had led the BBC’s coverage of major national events, including the death and funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. He started as a trainee in 1984, and by the end of his career he was the regular anchor of “BBC News at Ten.”He was suspended by the BBC in July after The Sun tabloid newspaper reported that an unnamed anchor from the broadcaster had paid a teenager $45,000 for sexually explicit images, starting when the person was 17. Mr. Edwards’s wife later publicly identified her husband as the anchor in the report. The age of consent in Britain is 16, but sharing or possessing indecent images of someone under 18 is a crime.

So I called Kathryn Anne Edwards, an economist and economic policy consultant, to see if there’s an argument that might change people’s minds about the utter necessity of more robust government child care funding — or if I should lose all hope in the possibility of a shift in the way that child care is thought about, discussed and sustained in the United States. labor force participation is midway through a historic decline. In Edwards’s phrasing, it “has been frozen in time for 25 years.” When you see headlines about how we’re at all-time highs for women’s labor force participation, Edwards suggests, that’s misleading. When you look at the actual level of increase since the 1990s, labor force participation among women has barely budged, and without a policy shift, we shouldn’t expect it to go up much in the coming years. The second thing that could force Congress to act on child care is that the birthrate is on the decline in the United States, Edwards said.

The BBC staff member suspended on allegations of sexual misconduct was identified by his wife on Wednesday as Huw Edwards, an anchor on the BBC’s flagship nightly news program and one of its most prominent and distinguished figures. At the same time, London police said there was no evidence that Mr. Edwards had committed a crime, following a newspaper report last week that an unnamed BBC personality paid more than £35,000, or almost $45,000, to a teenager in exchange for explicit images over a period of several years that began when the person was 17 years old. Mr. Edwards’s wife, Vicky Flind, issued a statement on her husband’s behalf late Wednesday, saying he had been hospitalized with “serious mental health issues” and would respond to the allegations when he had recovered. “The events of the last few days have greatly worsened matters,” Ms. Flind said. “He has suffered another serious episode and is now receiving inpatient care, where he’ll stay for the foreseeable future.”

Vail ’s tourism industry is the economic driver in Colorado’s Vail Valley, but Edwards, ZIP Code 81632 and about 15 miles west of Vail, has the area’s priciest residential real estate as ranked by median listing price, according to Realtor.com. ( News Corp , owner of The Wall Street Journal, also operates Realtor.com under license from the National Association of Realtors.) It is bested only by Woody Creek and Snowmass, both in the same area as Aspen, and Telluride. An unincorporated Rocky Mountain community in Eagle County, Edwards has a locals’ vibe with a busy downtown along the Eagle River. Driving Edwards’s real-estate market up are Cordillera, a 7,000-acre gated community with more than 800 homesites, and Arrowhead Village, with access to Beaver Creek Resort.
