Advocates in the fight against Child Sexual Abuse Material. This is an amazing documentary about the men and women on the front lines. Greg Squire is a true hero and friend. This doc is about as honest as it gets. It’s a tough watch but worth it. They deserve to be celebrated. bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0n0s2v…

Listening to Gordon Brown this morning reminded me of this bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000fwk… - prog me and the excellent @josephmdurso made 6 years ago, where we talked to the former PM and former Chancellor George Osborne about why voters found it hard to trust politicians - depressingly hard to see much that's happened since that's improved things

BBC Persian journalists say Iran monitoring them and targeting their families - The Guardian, 7 February

Telegraph Letters Page, Saturday 7 February
ALT Screenshot of Telegraph letters page Sir, Despite some of the claims made by your commentators, BBC journalism is continuing to provide a lifeline to the Iranian people. On Tuesday the BBC launched an emergency radio service on medium- and short wave in Iran to combat the digital blackout in the country. Although BBC News is banned in Iran, a quarter of the adult population access our news services in Persian on TV and across digital platforms. Being a BBC journalist takes a huge personal toll on staff who, along with their families, are harassed, targeted and threatened by the Iranian state. We are hugely proud of their courage and their work, which also informs our domestic coverage. Our English language coverage began on 28 December and has continued throughout across all BBC platforms, even without our journalists having been allowed into the country. Fiona Crack Global Director (interim), BBC World Service

Earlier the White House made claims about @BBCNews reporting which were wrong. It’s important that accurate journalism is respected, and that governments call for free access to Gaza.
BBC STATEMENT
"The claim the BBC took down a story after reviewing footage is completely wrong. We did not remove any story and we stand by our journalism.
"Our news stories and headlines about Sunday's aid distribution centre incident were updated throughout the day with the latest fatality figures as they came in from various sources. These were always clearly attributed, from the first figure of 15 from medics, through the 31 killed from the Hamas-run health ministry to the final Red Cross statement of ‘at least 21’ at their field hospital. This is totally normal practice on any fast-moving news story.
"Completely separately, a BBC Verify online report on Monday reported a viral video posted on social media was not linked to the aid distribution centre it claimed to show. This video did not run on BBC news channels and had not informed our reporting. Conflating these two stories is simply misleading.
"It is vital to bring people the truth about what is happening in Gaza. International journalists are not currently allowed into Gaza and we would welcome the support of the White House in our call for immediate access."
