How to survive in a war zone

The secretary of the culture said he would arouse concerns with the BBC bosses about a documentary about Gaza, who was told by the son of a Hamas employee.

The broadcast is criticized for gas: how to survive in a war zone who focused on a 13-year-old boy who is the son of Hamas Deputy Minister of Agriculture.

Hamas was prescribed as a terrorist organization from the United Kingdom, Israel and others.

The BBC said it was not informed of the family connection in advance by the production company of the film and apologized “for the missed of this detail.”

The TerSTERCASTER added a message to the beginning of the program to its Iplayer streaming service, clarifying the family relationship and saying that the production team has “full editorial control”.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandi said he would discuss the issue with the BBC Director General and the Chairman, “especially on the path that the people who participated in the program received.”

A number of prominent television figures, including actress Tracy-Anne Oberman, strike producer Neil Blair, former BBC One controller Danny Cohen and producer Leo Pearlman have written to the BBC to call an investigation.

They said: “Given the serious nature of these concerns, the BBC must immediately postpone any broadcast of the program, remove it from iplayer and download all videos for social media of the program until an independent investigation is carried out and its discoveries, Posted with full transparency for a payer of licenses. “

They expressed concerns about the “editorial standards of this program and compliance with the BBC with the Code for AMC's broadcasting, their own editorial guidance and English law” and demanded the corporation to explain what happened.

“If the BBC was aware that Abdulla al-Jazuri is the son of a terrorist leader, why was this not revealed to the public during the program?” they asked.

“If the BBC was not aware that Abdullah al-Jazuri was the son of a terrorist leader, what inspections of the effort were carried out and why they fail?”

The BBC has retained the Iplayer program, and the new message initially reads: “The storyteller of this movie is 13-year-old Abdullah. His father worked as Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Hamas Government in Gaza.

“The production team had complete editorial control over the abdullah photos.”

In a statement, the BBC says: “After the transmission of our documentary on gas, the BBC realized the family ties of the storyteller of the film, a child called Abdullah.

“We have promised our audience the highest standards of transparency, so it is correct that as a result of this new information we add a little detail to the movie before it is relayed. We apologize for missing this detail from the original movie.”

He added: “We followed all our usual conformity procedures when creating this movie, but we were not informed of this information by independent producers when we complied and then broadcast the finished movie.

“The film remains a powerful look of the child about the devastating consequences of the Gaza War, which we believe is an invaluable testimony to their experience and we must fulfill our commitment to transparency.”

Nandi said the question is “a conversation I will definitely have with BBC.”

Speaking to LBC on Thursday, she said, “I watched it last night. This is something I will discuss with them, especially on the path they received the people who were presented in the program.

“These things are difficult and I want to admit that they care more than most television operators about the way they try to present these things. They were attacked to be too pro -gaza, they -they – He was attacked that he was an anti-gas.

The documentary, which is broadcast on the BBC Two on Monday, was made by Hoyo Films that did not comment on.
