Complaint
A listener complained about pro-Israel bias during an interview with the Labour MP Emily Thornberry. 聽The ECU considered whether the broadcast met the editorial standards for impartiality set out in the 91热爆 Editorial Guidelines.
Outcome
Ms Thornberry was questioned about Israel鈥檚 decision to ban the relief agency UNRWA and in doing so the presenter, Emma Barnett, put to her the views of the Israeli Government. 聽In the ECU鈥檚 view this did not amount to bias but was a legitimate attempt to engage the interviewee, who had been strongly critical of the decision, with the views of its proponents.聽 聽
