BBC pulls the documentary in Gaza by doctors due to the fears related to neutrality

BBC says she decided not to broadcast a documentary on doctors working in Gaza, due to the fears related to the impartiality surrounding production.

Gaza: Doctors who are attacked by the BBC, but it was produced by an independent production company. It was originally to broadcast in February, but it was not yet broadcast on any port of the British Broadcasting Authority.

In a statement, the British Broadcasting Corporation said it was “determined to report all aspects of the conflict in the Middle East in an ocean in a way that.”

BBC News contacted the lower floor films of the production company for comment. Its founder Ben De Bear said earlier this week that the BBC “has completely failed” and that journalists “are subjected to disability and silence.”

The British Broadcasting Corporation said it “transferred the ownership of cinematic materials to the films of the lower floor.”

BBC News understands the decision to attach the documentary on Thursday, after public comments by De Bear at the Sheffield Documentary Festival, and another of the film’s managers, journalist Ramita Navi, who It appeared on Radio 4 today Discussing the war in Gaza.

Navi told the program that Israel “has become a rogue state committing war crimes, ethnic cleansing and Palestinian mass killing.” Israel denied the accusations of war crimes and genocide in Gaza.

It was a different documentary film, Gaza: How to survive the Waddard area, It was withdrawn from iPlayer earlier this year After the appearance of her 13 -year -old narrator, he was the son of Hamas official.

Gaza: The doctors who are attacked – also known as Gaza: the paramedics under the fire – are studying the experiences of the Palestinian paramedics who work during the war in Gaza.

The film was directed by Karim Shah, Navi and De Bear, former editor of 4 News.

In a statement on Friday, the BBC said that it cost the documentary more than a year ago, but it stopped the film in April, “after making a decision that we were unable to broadcast the film while reviewing a separate documentary in Gaza.”

“With both films from independent production companies, both of them around Gaza, it was right to wait for any relevant results – and put them into practice – before broadcasting the film.

“However, we wanted to hear the voices of doctors. Our goal was to find a way to broadcast some materials in our news programs, in line with our neutral criteria, before publishing the review.

“For several weeks, the BBC is working with the lower floor movies to find a way to tell the stories of these doctors on our platforms.

“Yesterday (Thursday), it became clear that we have reached the end of the road with these discussions. We have reached the conclusion that broadcasting this article had occurred to the creation of a perception of education that will not fulfill the high standards that the audience really expects in the BBC.”

The company added that contrary to some reports, the documentary “was not subject to the final login before broadcasting in the BBC,” adding: “Any movie broadcast will not be a BBC movie.”

He continued: “We want to thank the doctors and shareholders and regret that we were not able to tell their stories. BBC will continue to cover the events in Gaza with integrity.”

Speaking at the Sheffield Documentary Festival on Thursday, before announcing the decision, De Bear specifically blamed the director Tim Davi for refusing to broadcast the movie.

“All the decisions related to our films were not taken by journalists, and Tim Devi has taken,” as he claimed during the participation in a committee, As I mentioned.

“He is just a person in public relations. Tim Divi makes editorial decisions, frankly, unable to make it.”

He added: “The primary purpose of the BBC is television news and ongoing affairs, and if it fails to do so, it does not matter what the drama you make or cover. It fails as an institution. If it fails to do so, it needs a new management.

“Something should happen because they make decisions from a defensive point of view of public relations instead of one journalist. If you make a decision on a press basis, you can defend it, but if you do it on the basis of public relations, you will not be able to do so.”

Regarding the war, de Pear claimed that the BBC employees “are forced to use the language they do not recognize, they do not describe anything as it is clearly (for fear of neutrality) and is tragic.”

“He refuses to describe our coverage.”

“The BBC has consistently produced a strong press about this conflict. Besides urgent news and continuous analysis, we have produced original investigations such as those in allegations of abuse of Palestinian prisoners and the use of Israel for Buster Buster and in -depth documentary films including superior life and death in Gaza, and Gaza 101.”

Earlier on Thursday, one of the film managers, Ramita Navi, Tell the Radio 4 program today Israel has become a “rogue state committing war crimes, ethnic cleansing and Palestinian mass killing.”

High -level characters such as actress Susan Sarandon and the introduction Gary Linker The company previously accused From monitoring of delay.

“This is not an editorial warning. It is a political repression,” said an open message, which was also signed by cultural figures such as Mrs. Harriet Walter, Miriam Margoulis, Mexin Beck, Juliet Stevenson and Mike Lee.

“No news organization should be quietly behind the closed doors that deserve its stories.”

“The audience should look at this important movie, and honor the bravery of the shareholders.”
