The BBC website is leading on an opinion piece. I’m not a Labour supporter, just a retired journalist. This is a contentious decision given the privileged position of our national broadcaster during an election campaign.

Civil Defence crews were finally able to access the site where Leb journalist Amal Khalil was trapped under rubble but only hours later. They retrieved her body. Her newspaper Al Akbar has put out a video tribute. Lebanon’s Minister of Information condemned the incident describing the targeting of journalists as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and calling for international action.
