the bbc�*s director—general tim davie.ality at the bbc a cornerstone of his leadership of this organisation. where does that leave the issue of impartiality here at your organisation? i leave the issue of impartiality here at your organisation?— at your organisation? i think you will carry on _ at your organisation? i think you will carry on in — at your organisation? i think you will carry on in what _ at your organisation? i think you will carry on in what he - at your organisation? i think you will carry on in what he sees - at your organisation? i think you l will carry on in what he sees really has his mission and the mission of the bbc to maintain standards of impartiality. when he took on the role of director—general three years ago, just weeks after that, he was talking about impartiality, the set of bbc social media guidelines put in place back then, which we now know have been updated today. we have heard from the director general, it has been a tricky balance between recognising freedom of expression, especially

we know tim davie, the director—general of the bbc has put impartiality at the front and centre of hist these new guidelines will provide some clarity but again, what it means in practice, we will have to wait and see what some of these presenters start tweeting about various issues. thank you. we have a development to bring it on the gb newsjournalist we have a development to bring it on the gb news journalist dan wootton. the newspaper mail0nline has terminated his contract of its columnist dan wootton, a spokesperson for the news site's parent company said. previously dan wootton was suspended from gb news following comments made on his show by laurence fox, who asked what "self—respecting man" would "climb into bed" with reporter ava evans. the broadcaster had earlier suspended fox for his remarks about politich0e's ava evans during a live show. evans told the bbc she has since received threats. the news just coming to us now that dan wert in's contract as a columnist for mail online has now been terminated. —— dan wootton. trainee surgeons in the uk have started using a new ai too

this news just into us that the director—general of the bbc, tim davie, has announced the bbc will carrylook at any complaints against russell brand, any contact that the bbc had with him at the time, what was known and what was done about it. this review will also examine any issues about cars used by the bbc and i willjust remind you about this point. one of the accusers of russell brand claims that he organised a bbc car to collect her from school because she said she was only 16 at the time and this bbc organised car then took her to russell brand's house. so the review will go into that. tim davie released this information and also spoke to an all staff briefing and he announced that peterjohnson will head this up and he also made clear that he expects this review to be carried out swiftly. he says he is hoping for an initial report within the next weeks rather than months. he really wants this dealt with quickly. just to remind you, russell brand is facing accusations of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse over a seven—year period. allegations which he denies. and also an upda

when gary lineker, the presenter of much of the day, the bbc�*s highest paid star, tim davie had saidow it applied to freelancers, and also staff, but the bigger names on those flagship programmes and today, after that review, which has been published, we have also got a new set of guidelines for those big names and how they can use social media. as you mention there, it says that those presenting flagship programmes and the bbc lists a number of flagship programmes that include match of the day, which gary lineker presents, the apprentice that alan sugar presents, the presenters of those programmes must not endorse a political party, they must also not criticise the character of individual politicians in the uk. but it seems there is quite a lot of leeway because the presenters under this new guidance can express views on issues and policies, including matters of political contention. we know of because gary lineker has tweeted previously, many occasions, regularly tweets about his fort on politics. but i think the only way that these new guidelines can be tested is when somebody lik

this news coming in now that the director—general of the bbc, tim davie, has announced a review.t will be led by peterjohnston, the director of complaints and editorial reviews. he will look at any complaints against russell brand, the contact that was hard between the contact that was hard between the bbc and the star, what was known at the time and what was done about it. this review will also examine, as you mentioned, any information about cars, any evidence of cars that were used that involved the bbc accounts at the time. you mentioned that one of the accusers claims that russell brand organised a car through what seems to be, as they say, a bbc account. this car then went to the 16—year—old's school and then delivered that girl to russell brand's house, she says. the bbc have said they will look into that. tim davey told bbc staff at an all staff briefing that peterjohnston will report to the executive committee and the board and he said he will report as swiftly as possible. the director—general says he is hoping for an initial report on this within weeks, not months. the

and its director general, tim davie, announced an internal review into complaints against him to be completedn weeks. we'll look at any complaints made about russell brand's conduct during his time, what was known at the time, what was done. so full transparency, we're going to dig into anything that we've got there. meanwhile, there were other complaints about how bbc news covered the story, with one outlined here by dennis taylor. my concern is over the way russell brand is being treated by the media. he should be subjected to the investigation by the police and, if necessary, being brought before the courts so that the full majesty of the law can be initiated, not by what's happening now, which is why the media are doing trial by television, by newspaper, by editorial or whatever. it is not right. let's talk about the journalistic challenges for the bbc around russell brand with richard burgess, director of news content. hello, richard, and welcome back to newswatch. this is an issue that's coming up more and more, isn't it? detailed allegations about inappropriate behaviour against a name

tim davie says the comedian and actor's behaviour will be looked at, as well as any complaints made aboutmen. conflict brewing in azerbaijan which says it's taking military action after six people were killed by land—mines in the disputed territory of nagorno—karabakh. four of the dead were staff of the azerbaijan interior ministry, with some reports describing them as police officers. nagorno—karabakh is legally recognised as part of azerbaijan, but the local population are mostly ethnic armenians. 0ur south caucasus and central asia correspondent rayhan demytrie has more. fighting has continued along the line of contact between azerbaijan and its breakaway region. local authorities in the ethnic armenian populated territory say that azerbaijan armed forces are using artillery, missiles and attack drones. there are reports of casualties, including children. azerbaijan launched what it described as an anti—terror operation to gain full control of its territory. it's demanding full withdrawal of armenian armed forces from its internationally recognised territory. but armenia says it has no

what followed was him going back to present match of the day, but the director general of the bbc tim daviemissioned a report which specifically looked at freelance on air presenters. and we have had the details of this new updated guidance which is looking specifically at what freelancers who are on air, particularly high—profile presenters, can and can't do. that is all around impartiality. the new rules that have been published include flagship programmes, including match of the day, which gary lineker presents, and also the apprentice, with alan sugar. the bb says that there is a particular responsibility of those high—profile presenters on flagship programmes because of their profile on the bbc. the new guidance recognises the freedom of expression but while a programme, one of those high—profile flagship programmes, is now and two week's windows before and after it is now, presenters must not endorse or attack a political party or criticise the character of individual politicians in the uk or comment on any issue of political debate during an election period or take up an official rol

director general tim davie said slater was a "pioneer, innovator and outstanding leader".xperienced hands like rory mcilory. the world number two a veteran of this tournament, with six consecutive ryder cups under his belt ahead of this month's battle with the us in rome. mcilroy this week playing at the irish open, spoke to the bbc�*s stephen watson, and was optimistic of the challenge ahead. i think we've got a great chance. there is a really good mix of experience and youth in there. even some of the youth is quite experienced, someone likejon rahm. yeah, and viktor hovland as well for example. i think it's a really good team. if you had asked me at the start of the year what i thought our chances were, i thought we would have a really tough time. but the closer we have got to the cup, the more i'm liking what, you know... what the team has become and the way everyone is playing. i think we are in a really good spot heading to rome. earlierthis in a really good spot heading to rome. earlier this year because of the turbulence in goal, there was negativity surrounding th

what has happened really is though, that the so—called director general, tim davie, has absolutely noiled immediately saying. so he failed immediately with gary lineker, as you recall , and with gary lineker, who was absolutely prepared to let the man in the end dictate how he was going to tweet and what he was going to tweet and what he was going to tweet. but really, what worrying is that what is really worrying is that they to accept they don't want to accept vis a vis trump, that it isn't some sort of small cabal that would vote him. and i'm very anti vote for him. and i'm very anti trump. i think it'd be terrible if be next president, if he'd be the next president, especially prison. especially if he'd be in prison. but it's the but what's apparent is it's the electorate and this is what the bbc does want accept, bbc does want to accept, that somehow the polls show that trump is ahead because the people america , for one people of america, for one reason or another at the moment, favour trump biden and favour trump over biden and really what's happening in the bbc is it's sort of
