Original Note:
OP misleadingly says Maitlis & Sopel "defended Edwards AGAIN". Since Edwards' confession in July 2024, they haven't defended him. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmj260e54x7o Clip cited is from July 2023 (after police said "no evidence of a crime"), asking if journalists went too far, rather than defending Edwards. https://metro.co.uk/2023/07/14/emily-maitlis-has-issue-with-bbcs-coverage-over-huw-edwards-scandal-19127414/
