Objective Productions makes the show for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and said it "categorically" denied claims in the Mail on Sunday that the "victims" were briefed.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ newspaper review, looks at the ongoing troubles in Libya. In it, the Daily Mail describes events as the "bloodbath that shames Britain". The paper says the United Nations has expressed concern about the UK's trade links with Libya.
