It is the documentary threatening a full blown crisis at the BBC. Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone featured three supposedly ordinary children who it was later revealed had connections to the Hamas terror group.

Now hundreds of leading media figures including Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker have weighed in against the broadcaster’s decision to pull the film.

Kamal speaks to Sharren Haskel, Israel’s deputy foreign minister, who calls the documentary “pure propaganda of a terrorist organisation”. The broadcaster has also been accused of “whitewashing” the views of its participants by removing references to “the Jews” and praise of “jihad”.

“I think it’s just outrageous that the BBC is actually funding, creating, and broadcasting pure propaganda of a terrorist organisation,” Haskel says.

The BBC is under pressure to reveal whether taxpayer money was given to Hamas – directly or indirectly – during the making of the film. 

Haskel says: “[The BBC] must have paid the children, right?

“Who received those funds?

“Did the parents receive it or maybe they actually passed it on directly to Hamas pockets?

“If we find out that the BBC actually funded a terrorist organisation...this is actually a legal offence, and the police should investigate that.”

Later, shoplifting is at a record level and independent, family-run businesses are the hardest hit. Camilla is in rural Cambridgeshire with one shopkeeper who says theft is costing his business £12,000 a year - and he’s about to be clobbered by Labour’s Budget, too.
