BBC journalists cannot wear a T-shirt supporting anti-racist movement Black Lives Matter in the corporation’s newsroom, BBC director-general Tim Davie has said.

Mr Davie, 58, said the BBC stood against racism but it was “not appropriate for a journalist who may be covering that issue to be campaigning in that way”.
