Gaza filmmakers slam BBC after shelved documentary wins Bafta | News

0

‘We refuse to be silenced and censored,’ journalist and presenter Ramita Navai says while accepting the award.

The makers of the documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, which was dropped by the BBC, have won the Bafta TV Awards in the current affairs category.

The makers of the film slammed the BBC during their acceptance speeches at the awards on Sunday, renewing controversy over the broadcaster’s decision to shelve the project before it was later aired by Channel 4.

The documentary, which features firsthand accounts from Palestinian health workers in Gaza, was honoured at London’s Royal Festival Hall nearly a year after the BBC declined to broadcast it, citing concerns over partiality.

Accepting the award, executive producer Ben de Pear thanked the journalists behind the film before directly addressing the BBC, which aired the Bafta ceremony on BBC One with a delay of more than two hours: “Finally, just a question for the BBC: Given you dropped our film, will you drop us from the Bafta screening later tonight?”

Journalist and presenter Ramita Navai also criticised the broadcaster during her speech, citing findings from the documentary’s investigation into attacks on Gaza’s healthcare system.

“These are the findings of our investigation that the BBC paid for but refused to show,” Navai said. “But we refuse to be silenced and censored. We thank Channel 4 for showing this film.”

Navai said more than 1,700 Palestinian doctors and healthcare workers have been killed and more than 400 have been detained during Israel’s genocidal war on Palestinians in Gaza. She dedicated the award to Palestinian medical workers being held in Israeli prisons.

Originally commissioned by BBC

According to British media reports, the BBC edited portions of Navai’s remarks from its televised broadcast after consultations with its compliance team.

The BBC originally commissioned the documentary from the independent production company Basement Films more than a year ago but delayed its release while conducting a review into another Gaza-related documentary, Gaza: How To Survive a War Zone.

The broadcaster later decided not to air Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, saying the film risked creating “a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect of the BBC”.

The corporation also said impartiality remained “a core principle of BBC News”.

The film was subsequently acquired and broadcast by Channel 4 in July.

Speaking backstage after the Bafta win, de Pear praised Gazan journalists Jaber Badwan and Osana Al Ashi, who contributed footage to the documentary, saying the team “woke up every day wondering if the two journalists on the ground were still alive”.

‘Pakistani Army gives impetus to terrorism and against India…’, PAK leader exposed Munir who was celebrating Maraka-e-Haq.

India for years Pakistan But efforts to destabilize neighboring countries through terrorism and extremism have been exposed. Jai Sindh Muttahida Mahaj (JSMM) Chairman Shafi Burfat has said something similar. He has long accused the Pakistani Army of promoting religious fanaticism and terrorism. He said that Pakistan’s continued military dominance over political, economic, ideological and social spheres is a threat to democracy, regional peace and long-term stability in South Asia.

Burfat said on social media platform He has complete influence in politics, media, judiciary and major areas of the economy.

He further said, ‘Because of this, the military chief has repeatedly tried to portray himself as the winner through dramatic rhetoric, aggressive speeches, exaggerated displays of force and fabricated ideological claims rooted in religious nationalism.’ Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir Taking aim at the military, Burfat said Munir’s “emotionally charged ultra-nationalist slogans, nuclear threats, and aggressive rhetoric against neighboring countries” do not reflect strategic confidence or an image of responsible military leadership.

Also read:- ‘I am suffering from diseases in jail…’, Bangladesh HC did not listen to the appeal of Hindu saint Chinmoy Krishna Das, rejected the bail plea.

He said such speeches expose the internal contradictions, political weaknesses and deep insecurities of a ‘militarized state structure’, which has long used ‘fear, artificial religious nationalism, perpetual conflict and ideological manipulation’ as tools to maintain its dominance.

Calling Pakistan an ‘unnatural state structure’, the Sindhi leader alleged that the country’s corrupt military establishment has repeatedly undermined the democratic process by removing elected representatives, manipulating elections and suppressing dissent. He further claimed that the military controls key government and judicial decisions, intimidates journalists and intellectuals, jails political opponents, and rules indirectly by controlling compliant political factions and the elected government.

Burfat said, ‘The world community knows that democratic voices in Pakistan – including journalists, students, intellectuals, political opponents and national rights supporters – face constant pressure from government agencies including censorship, jail, enforced disappearance, torture, political intimidation, and restrictions on freedom of speech.’ He said the corrupt Pakistani military, through its ‘puppet rulers’, continues to violate constitutional norms, leaving local communities marginalized and oppressed, while courts, media outlets and elected representatives remain under ‘military pressure’.

Burfat said, ‘Overwhelming historical evidence shows that Pakistan’s military has not only protected extremist and terrorist groups, but has also repeatedly used them to create instability in the region against neighboring countries.’ The Sindhi leader appealed to the international community and defenders of international law to pay serious attention to the ‘irresponsible statements, aggressive statements and dangerous intentions’ of those commanding the Pakistani army.

Middle East crisis live: Trump rejects Iran response to US peace proposal as Tehran warns of new attacks | US-Israel war on Iran

The US parameters for nuclear talks reportedly included a moratorium on Iranian nuclear enrichment for up to 20 years; the transfer overseas, possibly to the US, of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), which could be used to make nuclear warheads; and the dismantling of Iranian nuclear facilities.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Iranian counter-proposal suggested a shorter moratorium, the export of part of the HEU stockpile and the dilution of the rest, and refusal to accept the dismantling of facilities.

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had earlier warned the war would continue as long as Iran had a stockpile of HEU.

It’s not over, because there’s still nuclear material – enriched uranium – that has to be taken out of Iran. There’s still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled,” he told the CBS programme 60 Minutes, according an excerpt published before its broadcast.

Asked how the HEU should be removed, Netanyahu said: “You go in and you take it out,” adding that the best way would be to enter Iran to secure the fissile material as part of an agreement. He said Donald Trump had told him he wants “to go in there”.

In a separate interview, Trump appeared to take a more relaxed view of the HEU stockpile, which the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, says is buried deep under mountains in central Iran. The US president suggested that for the time being, satellite surveillance was sufficient to guarantee no one had access to it.

KASH PATEL: AI is helping the new FBI find missing kids and stop mass shooters faster


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

When I was first sworn in as ninth director of the FBI, one of my top priorities was to modernize the bureau with new, cutting-edge technology that would allow us to better serve and protect the American people. When I arrived, the FBI was running on archaic patchwork systems without AI, effectively putting a 2025 car battery into a vehicle from 1985. Our infrastructure was a Commodore 64 when it needed to be a supercomputer. No more Band-Aids on gunshot wounds. Wholesale change was necessary.

In the past year, I’m incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made under President Trump’s leadership. We have rebuilt and revamped the FBI’s infrastructure across the enterprise, helping the bureau achieve record-breaking results in crushing violent crime and defending the homeland, while providing historic transparency.

Artificial intelligence is a huge part of that overhaul. When then-Deputy Director Dan Bongino and I arrived here at headquarters, AI had almost zero role at the FBI. That had to change, so we got to work. We immediately led the way by setting up an AI working group to evaluate how we could accelerate modernization, getting input from field leaders on the ground in your communities. We appointed a chief AI officer and established an AI Review Board to streamline our efforts. We created an AI Champions Program to identify advocates across the bureau. Maybe most importantly, we created direct partnerships with private-sector industry leaders to rebuild our infrastructure and bring in AI on a broad scale.

FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL SAYS BUREAU RAMPING UP AI TO COUNTER DOMESTIC, GLOBAL THREATS

AI is central to what we do. It is helping us identify victims of child exploitation, arrest and convict predators, and more. Last year alone, this FBI identified and located 6,300 missing kids, a 30% increase, and arrested 2,000 abusers, a 20% increase — largely thanks to these improvements. In a recent FBI Richmond case, the FBI’s Child Exploitation Operational Unit used facial recognition tools to save 8- and 12-year-old children from a would-be abuser, who will now spend 50 years in prison.

AI is central to what we do. It is helping us identify victims of child exploitation, arrest and convict predators, and more.

This FBI now uses new AI tools to generate call transcriptions, provide concise synopses and even help correlate contacts with other received complaints. When someone calls into NTOC — the National Threat Operations Center, our 911 center — AI tools generate a transcript of the call, draft an effective summary of the threat and immediately scan our database for comparisons to other open threat lines. Every tip also receives a lead value to surface the highest threat-related calls for Threat Intake Examiners. This specific threat intake process helped the FBI quickly act and stop an attacker plotting a mass shooting at a North Carolina preschool.

Fingerprint matching is one of the most common methods the FBI uses to identify individuals. Some adversaries try to manipulate their prints to obscure their identities by burning, cutting or biting their fingertips to remove ridge detail and make it difficult or impossible to make a match. Because fingerprint matching is an automated process, altered fingerprints were being missed. CJIS — the Criminal Justice Information Services Division, our data hub — integrated an AI-enabled, real-time altered fingerprint detection capability. In 2025, this new solution detected 34 altered fingerprint identities, ultimately leading to the positive identification and arrest of wanted persons, drug traffickers and fraudsters.

We’re also using AI to facilitate rapid translations of large volumes of text, audio and video, and to triage terabytes of data. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, the FBI had more than 75 terabytes of data to review, with more information coming in every day, including more than 75 search warrant returns. For perspective, a single search warrant return can contain 180,000 messages. It would take six or seven analysts working seven days a week for four or five weeks to review a single search warrant return. The FBI routinely has thousands of audio files and texts to review over the course of a single case. Our current models translate with roughly 80% accuracy, so our linguists can home in on the 20% that requires a human touch.

We are not replacing humans; we’re supplementing them, sharpening their focus and expediting the pace of our investigations. Collecting data to sit in storage is like keeping Babe Ruth on the bench permanently.

We’re identifying and arresting more fraudsters, scammers and drug traffickers who try to hide their identities, thanks to AI. Through cooperative research and development agreements with the private sector, the FBI is advancing our deepfake detection systems in support of these investigations.

Equally important, AI is helping this FBI be more accountable to the taxpayer by applying it to business operations across the bureau and getting maximum value out of your money. With the help of our Enterprise AI assistant, this FBI cut $300 million in spending and identified more than $1.2 billion in contract ceiling savings.

These are just a few of the ways artificial intelligence has allowed this FBI to meet the mission. Under the Trump administration’s leadership, this FBI is now a faster, more efficient and more accountable crime-fighting machine thanks to the implementation of modern technology. This FBI has desperately needed these transformational changes, but prior leadership refused to spend the time and resources, kneecapping our abilities. That changed immediately under my leadership and will continue.

The new FBI — the greatest law enforcement agency on Earth — is now providing our team the tools they need to execute the dangerous mission we ask them to perform every day: safeguarding America. And thanks to the brave personnel using those tools, America is safer than we’ve been in decades.
