The BBC has scrapped plans to show a documentary about medics in Gaza after concluding it “risked creating a perception of partiality” over the corporation’s coverage of the conflict.
In the latest controversy over the BBC’s coverage of the war, it announced that discussions over how to broadcast the film, or incorporate some of its footage into its news coverage, had “reached the end of the road”. It said it was now transferring ownership of the project to the independent production company that produced it.
