the scotsman: Army joins assault on BBC's war
ARMY chiefs last night joined the attack on the BBC over its accuracy in reporting the war in Iraq, accusing it of painting a distorted picture of the British campaign.
Senior figures in the army are furious about the BBC’s coverage, which they say bears no relation to events on the ground. They are particularly angry about suggestions in a BBC documentary, broadcast on Sunday night, that the army embellished reports of a militia attack on Iraqi citizens for propaganda purposes.

ABC: BBC defended by its former critic
As PM Blair and the BBC wage a running battle over the issue of bias, the broadcaster has received some support from an unlikely source. A former Thatcher supporter and Conservative Party chairman, Lord Tebbit was a trenchant critic of BBC reporting during his own time in Government. But, on this occasion, he's written to The Independent newspaper to openly support the corporation against Alastair Campbell's attacks.

Baku today: Israel Breaks Off the Deal With BBC
Israel announced yesterday that it has broken all its ties with the British Broadcast Corporation (BBC) of England as a reaction to a program entitled, "Nuclear and other unconventional weapons in Israel" broadcast last Saturday.
Israeli officials had warned BBC when the program was broadcast in England last March and it was rescheduled to broadcast again on Saturday. The BBC did not agree to the demand to remove the program from its broadcast.
'A country not announcing its nuclear weapons'
Israel's nuclear reactor and weapon facilities in Dimona, and biological research centers in Ness Ziona were shown clearly in the program, and the report made a parallel between Israel and Iraq by posing the question, "Which country in the Middle East has not announced its nuclear and biological weapons?"
According to the decision that anticipates the break in ties with the BBC, Israeli government offices will no longer be able to assist BBC program producers. They will not allow BBC correspondents to report, and the Prime Ministry Office of the Press will make it difficult for BBC employees to receive employment visas and press tags. BBC was removed from Israeli Cable TV broadcasts since they have not agreed on financial issues for a long time.
