| 0:00.0 | So the BBC is in crisis. Its leadership has resigned after a league's memo linked to the |
| 0:07.6 | right ring daily telegraph, authored by Michael Prescott, a former Sunday Times political |
| 0:13.0 | correspondent turned corporate lobbyist, who was presented as an independent analyst, I guess, when it comes to editorial policy at the BBC. |
| 0:24.7 | Now, the most high-profile thing, of course, that came out of that was to do with how a speech |
| 0:29.4 | by Donald Trump during the capital insurrection was presented. Donald Trump did incite |
| 0:35.9 | an insurrection just so we're absolutely clear, |
| 0:37.8 | although the editing was definitely bad, but the overall impression in terms of what actually |
| 0:42.6 | Donald Trump did was not misrepresented. But we're not going to get stuck into that, because |
| 0:46.1 | one of the other key aspects was, of course, to do with the BBC's coverage of Israel, Palestine, |
| 0:52.5 | to do with what what consensus of genocide scholars |

| 1:20.9 | But, look, more importantly, Krishna Patel, who joins me, the brilliant Chrisma Patel, is a former BBC journalist slash BBC presenter who knows all of this inside out. And she's really been out there just in the most methodological, |
| 1:36.3 | how do I say that word, Krishna, I've just lost the ability to speak. Method, method, method. |
| 1:42.6 | Forensic, very forensic in her analysis of the BBC, and it's hideous, I would say. |
| 1:49.0 | I'm allowed to say that. |
| 1:50.1 | Failings when it comes to violating its own policies, |
| 1:53.1 | its own editorial policies and due impartiality when it comes to Israel's genocide. |
| 1:59.0 | Christopher, it's great to speak to you. |
| 2:00.0 | How you did? |
| 2:01.3 | Yeah, I'm doing okay. I'm doing a lot worse after reading Prescott's genocide. Christopher, it's great to speak to you, How you did? Yeah, I'm doing okay. |
