Complaint
The programme included coverage of a press conference given by Nigel Farage, in which he said what was once a “t°ù¾±³¦°ì±ô±ð†of migrants into Europe was now a “f±ô´Ç´Ç»å†and included a large influx of young males “from an entirely different cultureâ€. As it cut away from the event the presenter, Geeta Guru-Murphy told viewers Mr Farage had been “using his customary inflammatory languageâ€. Three viewers complained that the term “i²Ô´Ú±ô²¹³¾³¾²¹³Ù´Ç°ù²â†was inappropriate, and inconsistent with the Â鶹ԼÅÄ’s editorial standards of impartiality
Outcome
The ECU noted that Ms Guru-Murphy had apologised on air about two hours after the original broadcast and that, later that day, Â鶹ԼÅÄ News made the following posting on the Corrections and Clarifications page of bbc.co.uk:
We heard live from Nigel Farage, honorary President of Reform UK, speaking at one of its election events. When coming away from the speech, our presenter said Mr Farage was using ‘customary inflammatory language’.  This did not meet the Â鶹ԼÅÄ’s editorial standards for impartiality.  The presenter later apologised on air to viewers and Mr Farage who publicly accepted the apology.
In the ECU’s judgement these steps were sufficient to resolve the issue of complaint.
