The death of the Queen
The challenge for broadcasters to report a moment in history.
The Queen's coffin has travelled in ceremonial procession to Westminster Hall today where she will lie in state for four days until her funeral on Monday.
Thousands have lined the route and for millions in the UK and around the world, it is the media that allows them to follow this period of national mourning.
We talk to guests from news broadcasters, commercial radio and local newspapers about their experience of covering this story.
We'll talk about Ukraine too. In an extraordinary few days, Russian forces have been pushed back. We know that – but there are significant challenges establishing exactly what has happened. We’ll try and understand what can be done to report these developments with confidence.
Guests: Cristina Nicolotti Squires, Director of content, Sky News, Frank O’Donnell, Editor-in-Chief, The Press and Journal, Phil Riley, Founder of Boom Radio, James Waterhouse, Ukraine Correspondent, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News, and Francis Scarr, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Monitoring
Presenter: Ros Atkins
Producer: Helen Fitzhenry
