How to Survive the War Zone

The cultural secretary said he would cause concern for the BBC bosses and a documentary about Gaza who was narrated by the son of the Hamas officer.

Television is criticized for gauze: how to survive a war zone that focused on a 13-year-old boy who is the son of Hamas’s deputy minister of agriculture.

Lisa Nandy said she would talk about the issue with the CEO of BBC president, “especially about the way they received the people who were presented in the program.”

The BBC announced that the production company of the film did not inform him in advance of a family relationship and that she apologized “for the failure of that detail.”

The BBC added a message about his streaming service to the start of the program, explaining the family relationship and saying that the production team had “complete editorial control”.

Numerous distinguished TV figures, including the tracy-ann Oberman actress, producer of the strike Neil Blair, former BBC One Controller Danny Cohen and producer Leo Pearlman have written to BBC to invite the investigation.

They said, “Given the serious nature of these concerns, the BBC should immediately postpone any broadcast repetition of the program, remove it from the iPlayer and remove any social media of the program until an independent investigation and its discovery are published with regard to complete transparency for licenses .

They expressed concern about the “editorial standards of this program and respect for the BBC Broadcasting Code, their own editorial guidelines and English law,” and asked the corporation to explain what happened.

“If the BBC was aware that Abdullah al-Yazouri was the son of a terrorist leader, why wasn’t it published to the audience during the program?” They asked.

“If the BBC was not aware that Abdullah al-Yazouri was the son of a terrorist leader, what kind of diligence was taken and why they failed?”

The BBC kept the program on Iplayer, and the new message is on the start: “The storyteller of this film is 13-year-old Abdullah. His father worked as a deputy minister of agriculture for the Hamas Government in Gaza.

“The production team had complete editorial control of the recording with Abdullah.”

In a statement, the BBC said: “From the transfer of our documentary film about Gaza, the BBC has become aware of the family ties of the film storyteller, a child called Abdullah.

“We promised our audience the highest transparency standards, so it is only right to add a few more details to the film as a result of this new information before its re -submit. We apologize for the failure of that detail from the original movie.”

He added: “We followed all our usual compliance procedures in the shooting of this movie, but independent producers were not informed of this information when we met and then broadcast a finished movie.

“The film remains a strong child’s view of the devastating consequences of the Gaza war, which we believe is invaluable to evidence of their experiences and we must fulfill our commitment to transparency.”

Nandy said the thing was “a conversation I will definitely lead with a BBC”.

In an interview with LBC on Thursday, she said, “I watched him last night. I will talk to them, especially the way they got the people who were presented in the program.

“These things are difficult, and I want to admit that for the BBC, they take care more than most emitters in terms of the way they try to portray these things. They attacked themselves because of too much pro-gauze, they” were attacked because of Anti-Gaza.

The documentary, which broadcast on Monday on BBC Two on Monday, was shot by Hoyo Filjs, who did not comment.
