What Went Wrong With The ѿý Gaza Documentary?
ѿý documentary about Gaza breached editorial guidelines on accuracy.
Today, we discuss the findings of a ѿý report which found that the documentary Gaza: How To Survive a Warzone had breached editorial guidelines.
The ѿý previously pulled the documentary from iPlayer after it was uncovered that the 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas official. The report says the production company Hoyo Films bears most of the responsibility for the failures. Hoyo Films said it took the reviews findings "extremely seriously" and said it "apologises for the mistake that resulted in a breach of the editorial guidelines".
Another report looking into ѿý show MasterChef has found that 45 allegations against presenter Gregg Wallace have been upheld. Wallace said in response that some of his humour and language "missed the mark", but added: "I never set out to harm or humiliate. I always tried to bring warmth and support to MasterChef, on screen and off." Adam is joined by ѿý News Culture and Media editor Katie Razzall and Culture reporter Noor Nanji.
And, President Trump has threatened “very severe” tariffs against Russia if there is no Ukraine deal within 50 days. Adam speaks to Caitriona Perry, Chief Presenter for ѿý News.
