tim davie, the director general, has made it one of his main focuses. yes.a difference between having a plan and delivering that change, and it is certainly notjob done, by any stretch of the imagination. and we only have to look at a plethora of different examples that have come up to to highlight the fact that there is still a problem. what examples? if we look at the incident of the bus with the alleged anti—semitism, if we look at the incidences of certain commentators and reporters, if you look at the comments that gary lineker and others have made, that is indicative of a culture that still has an issue around impartiality. and that's why it's something that i will be particularly looking at and focusing on and working with the bbc on this agenda. but we've been conducting the mid—term review, which will have a particular focus around impartiality. i think it's so important. i think it's also important to the long—term viability of the bbc because if you think about it, in today's age, we've got so much fake news out there that people deserve but also

i mean, davie has said mean, even tim davie has said that are failures in that that there are failuresat respect. always be respect. there will always be failures in any organisation even yours because people are human and human fails and time to turn. but i think if the bbc realises that its is getting collectively unhappy , it always collectively unhappy, it always adjusts and it will do so again. look, see at jungle palace. i joined in 60. it was all white there were no minorities, not all over. and that bound to happen. it doesn't bother me all, but obviously the bbc adjusted and will adjust and we are lucky to have it so . peter, are lucky to have it so. peter, can i ask you about that? because is there a case here to be made , as martin says, there be made, as martin says, there was some point, definitely a need , some sort of push for need, some sort of push for diversity within the bbc. but maybe now we're seeing what is what has been termed by douglas murray, as murray, for instance as an overcorrection. do you think that maybe as martin suggests it will reconnect itself again

didn't feel under pressure from the bbc over this and, in fact, the senior management and, indeed, tim davielly reflect on the bbc. but at the same time, i suppose, it is worth pointing out this isn't a bbc story in the way that perhaps other bbc stories might come about. this is a story of a person who is appointed by the government. so, the bbc had nothing to do with his appointment. the government decides who is going to be bbc ever, 'twas always thus. some of them have been labour. mainly, in recent years, obviously, they've been conservative. so, in that sense, it felt a little bit more distant from the bbc than covering some other bbc stories that i might tackle in the future. newswatch viewers will know there've been a number of big bbc scandals before — jimmy savile, cliff richard. we've interviewed some bbc bosses here on this programme about them. you've mentioned covering the bbc in the future — do you think it's going to be a big part of your brief? the bbc is a big beast in the media landscape, so i don't think there is any way that i could say to you i'm not going to be coverin
