In this webinar, held on 9 October 2024, Trevor Asserson discusses the Asserson Report on the BBC's coverage of the Israel/Hamas War with Natasha Hausdorff, UKLFI Charitable Trust Legal Director, and answers questions from the audience.

Using both human analysis and artificial intelligence, the Report examined a wide range of BBC broadcast programmes and all relevant website articles in English and Arabic over the 4-month period from 7 October 2023 to 7 February 2024, comprising some 9 million words. It found extensive evidence of non-compliance with the BBC's obligations of accuracy and impartiality. However, veteran BBC Editor, Jeremy Bowen, was quick to dismiss it, describing it on 13 September 2024 as a “deeply flawed document”.
