hello and welcome to bbc news. the impact of bbc sports presenter gary lineker�*s removalfrom match of the day is continuing to affect the bbc�*s sports output today. the controversy over the broadcaster and his tweets criticising the uk government's policy on asylum seekers shows no sign of abating. he'd been told by the bbc to "step back" from presenting its flagship football show match of the day. on saturday, it led to widespread disruption of the corporation's football coverage, as fellow presenters and commentators pulled out in support of the former england international. last night's match of the day was watched by 2.58 million tv viewers on bbc one. today, in coverage of the women's super league, there was no bbc in—house commentary and there were no pundits to talk about the game either. this report from steffan powell. here now is the best of the day's action... a match of the day like no other, not even a theme tune. just football and fan noise. i am going to walk my dog and do my shopping. would you mi

been for the bbc?st: no, i mean, i think the bbc were completely taken by surprise, i think. they walked into this car crash and it seems to me that they just weren't aware of the consequences of what they were doing. it seems to me that they weren't aware of the double standards that were clearly being employed here. in recent years, we have seen many tv presenters and journalists who have expressed themselves robustly on social media, but maintained impartiality while on the air. and gary lineker, who is a veteran in the use of social media, has always been very careful about his un-air pronouncements, and therefore it came as a big shock and surprise when he was suddenly facing attack. there was a great perception that the bbc was being influenced, heavily influenced by some government sources. and i think the perception was that the bbc itself was being bullied to take action against lineker actually led them into the crisis that they found themselves, and they made a complete mess of it because th

i'm bbc man, by the bbc. and i'm a bbc man, by the way. like bbc and support way. like the bbc and support the i'm on left, but the bbc and i'm on the left, but nonetheless, it's impossible to argue against proposition argue against the proposition that left leaning that it is a left leaning organisation. it plainly is. yeah, is. and i mean, i've yeah, it is. and i mean, i've done lots and lots of bbc current affairs debate programmes and all the rest and i've always felt that, i've always been like the kind of the token brexiteer. so there's, there's me with a panel of remainers , or there's me kind of remainers, or there's me kind of saying that, i don't know, you should control your borders against among, you know, among a group of people saying, absolutely not. that's kind of racist. and all the rest of it. so, yeah, i've felt so, yeah, i've always felt whenever had on the bbc that whenever i had on the bbc that my perspective definitely my perspective was definitely the minority perspective among the minority perspective among the show. what do you think think

the bbc has these crises every _ bbc? not very. the bbc has these crises every four _ bbc?bc has these crises every four or five _ bbc? not very. the bbc has these crises every four or five years, - crises every four or five years, they are regrettable, and this should have been avoided, but i think that impartiality is a difficult issue for lots of people to understand, and it is a necessary debate. it should not have happened in this way, and management should have foreseen the reaction among gary lineker�*s colleagues and i think the majority of the public on this issue, but they are dealing with a very real issue, and data may be that the director—general and the chairman have emphasised impartiality to see off conservative pressure, but it will be a vital issue with any government. just to say one thing that is slightly confusing about your very good report earlier, she implied that two groups of people, inside the bbc news and current affairs bound by impartiality, which you are and should be, and outside contributors. but nobody is saying that occasional contributors

bbc.have to listen. i think we think we have to do a bit of thinking about the balance between, you know, how you are delivering impartiality and also the ability for people to particularly freelancers, to say things online. fans attending the leicester game had strong views on gary lineker�*s expressions of his views. i support him. i'm glad to see that all the players and the pundits are supporting him. so hopefully bbc get their finger out and we get it put to bed and we get him back on tv. i'm disappointed with . some of his comments. to be honest, i think. he's let himself down. well, i think it's outrageous. he's just expressing an opinion, which happens to be at loggerheads with what the government have said. and the liverpool boss, who saw his side beaten at bournemouth, also wanted to have his say. and i cannot see any reason why you would ask somebody to step back for saying that. i can't. i'm not sure if that's a language issue or not, but i can't, i can't find it. for the bbc,

bbc has released in the last hour, is this the bbc has hour, and it is this the bbc has decided thatom presenting match of the day until we have an agreed and clear on his use of social media when it comes to leading football and sports coverage . gary is second to none coverage. gary is second to none . we have never said said that gary should be an opinion free zone or that he can't have a view on issues that matter to him. but we have that he should keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or political controversy . so there political controversy. so there we are. that's the official line of the bbc . and of course, let of the bbc. and of course, let me repeat my invitation to you as well to tune in to gb news tonight from 10 pm. if you find yourself at a loose aide to watch our star—studded equivalent match of the day with the great mark dolan. are you involved in that ? i go back to involved in that? i go back to what you well , sure, i. involved in that? i go back to what you well, sure, i. i wish you well. i shall be watching. thank you very much indeed. ther
