BBC chief Tim Davie will make another visit to Parliament this week, where he will discuss the corporation’s coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The director-general will be questioned Wednesday by MPs on topics including how the broadcaster has been covering events in the ongoing war.
This comes as it is confirmed the BBC will no longer call Hamas “militants”, but instead characterise the Palestinian group as “a proscribed terrorist organisation by the UK government.”
The BBC has spent the past fortnight defending its decision not to use the term “terrorists” to describe Hamas, in line with the regulator Ofcom’s guidelines on maintaining impartiality. However, it has come under increasing pressure to ditch the term “militants, with a BBC spokeswoman confirming: “We have been finding this a less accurate description for our audiences as the situation evolves.”
The Times newspaper quotes an unnamed member of parliament saying:
“The BBC are losing people because they aren’t behaving in a way that meets the majority of viewers’ expectations of them. Not to describe Hamas’s actions as a terrorist attack was pretty pathetic and that has undermined so much of what has followed.”
The Times also reports on a meeting between David and the Board of Deputies of British Jews, who expressed their “outrage” at how the BBC covered the al-Ahli hospital explosion, and a separate meeting between Jewish BBC staff and the corporation’s head of news Deborah Turness. An event with staff from the Palestinian and Arab community is expected to follow.

On the heels of the wonderful 2019 The Two Popes, in which Anthony Hopkins starred as Pope Benedict XVI in an imagined conversation with Jonathan Pryce’s future Pope Francis, Hopkins is once again involved in the same kind of cinematic historical fictional meeting as founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, who is engaged in a private debate with The Chronicles of Narnia author and theologian C.S. Lewis (played by Matthew Goode) on the existence of God. As with The Two Popes, there is no proof whatsoever that any meeting ever took place, but it clearly provides lots of material to wrap your head around. That is exactly what Mark St. Germain did in creating his 2009 play Freud’s Last Session, which was built on the 1967 Harvard lectures of Dr. Armond M. Nicholi Jr in his presentation “The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.”
