Good afternoon. The Director General of the BBC George Entwistle | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
has said that a Newsnight report which led an un-named senior | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Conservative politician being wrongly implicated in a child abuse | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
scandal on the internet should not have been broadcast. The BBC Trust | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
said it was a deeply troubling episode and that it expects the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Director General to get to the bottom of the matter with the | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :00:54. | ||
utmost urgency. A new crisis for Newsnight. Tonight | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
this programme apologises. A key allegation in a report about child | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
abuse was wrong. The victim said he was mistaken. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
The BBC apology last night on Newsnight. Under fire already for | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
not showing an investigation into child abuse by Jimmy Savile, it has | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
now had to apologise for an investigation it did broadcast. | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
Stephen mission, a former resident of an care home in Wales, claimed | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
he had been assaulted for a buyer a politician on the Thatcher era and | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
he thought it was Lord McAlpine. Many on the engine that named him. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
The director-general said the programme should have checked. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
was our responsibility to make sure that any misrepresentation ended up | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
on television. We did not manage to do that and we take the blame for | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
that, no question about it. He said he had not known about the | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
Newsnight broadcast in advance but other senior executives had. It is | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
difficult to understand how, as the director-general described it this | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
morning, it got through the whole editorial process all the way to | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
news board level, which means that senior eyes were looking at this. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
It does seem quite strange that this piece of journalism got air. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
As this morning's headlines show, the BBC is now facing more | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
questions, not just about its journalism but about the way the | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
organisation is run. Talks in Brussels on the European | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Union's budget have broken down. Negotiators for EU governments and | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
the European Parliament failed to agree a request for extra money to | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
fill a funding gap for this year. The director of the Central | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Intelligence Agency David Petraeus has resigned after admitting to an | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
extra-marital affair. He had been in charge of the CIA for just over | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
a year following a military career in which he was credited with | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
successes in both Iraq and Afghanistan. A new vaccination | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
programme is to be introduced across the UK to protect babies | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
against rotavirus, a a highly contagious vomiting and diarrhoea | :02:59. | :03:03. |
