The key points not being talked about in BBC Gaza documentary review
This breach has been covered extensively by the wider mainstream media, but is it really the whole story?
The Johnston Review may have indeed found that audiences should have been informed about the narrator's background, but there were several other points it made which are not being spoken about.
So, what does the report really say?
Narrator contribution did not breach standards
While on page one the review does state that the failure to disclose the narrator's father's position as deputy minister of agriculture in the Hamas-run government breached guidelines, it quickly makes another crucial point.
In the fourth paragraph, the review says 'I do not consider anything in the narrator's scripted contribution to the programme breached the BBC's standards on due impartiality'.
It adds: 'I have also not seen or heard any evidence to support a suggestion that the narrator's father or family influenced the content of the programme in any way'.
Despite these findings, director-general Tim Davie still deemed the oversight by the BBC to be a 'significant failing'.
No issues with reporting in programme
Further into the lengthy review, readers will find it says the narration 'is factual and carries balance where required'.
On page 27, it goes on to say that while there was a single accuracy guideline breached (3.3.17), there wasn't actually any issues with accuracy and fairness in the programme's reporting.

'I do not find there to have been any issues with the accuracy, fairness, or due impartiality of the reporting in the programme in the context of the Israel-Gaza war. The production took place in an extremely difficult context, an active warzone, and I find that this was addressed with appropriate care and sensitivity,' the review said.
No breaches with translation
Critics of the programme took issue with the translation of 'Yahud' as 'Israelis' and not 'Jews'.
But the review found no significant problems in this area.
Narrator Abdullah criticised the BBC for removing the documentary from iPlayer (Image: BBC/Amjad Al Fayoumi/Hoyo Films) It said on page 24: 'Some argue this served to mislead audiences and to 'whitewash' the antisemitism of the people speaking, and in Gaza more generally.
'I do not find there to have been any editorial breaches in respect of the programme's translation.'
It goes on: 'Translation seldom offers a perfect reflection of the associations and connotations of the words used in the original, and the test of accuracy is whether audiences would be materially misled. The translations in this programme did not risk misleading audiences on what the people speaking meant.'
No problems with programme funds
Some critics claimed licence-fee money made its way to Hamas through payments to the narrator's family, but the review did not find any evidence of this.
'I have not seen any evidence to suggest that the programme funds were spent other than for reasonable, production-related purposes,' it states on page two.
It adds: 'The BBC has no reasonable basis to conclude that anyone engaged or paid in connection with the programme was subject to financial sanctions.'

Thousands join pro-Palestinian march over Sydney Harbour Bridge
SYDNEY, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Thousands of demonstrators braved pouring rain to march across Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge on Sunday calling for peace and aid deliveries in the war-torn Gaza Strip, where a humanitarian crisis has been worsening. Nearly two years into a war that Palestinian authorities say has killed more than 60,000 people in Gaza, governments and humanitarian organisations say a shortage of food is leading to widespread starvation. Some of those attending the march, called by its organisers the 'March for Humanity', carried pots and pans as symbols of the hunger. Among the marchers was Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. New South Wales police and the state's premier last week tried to block the march from taking place on the bridge, a city landmark and transport thoroughfare, saying the route could cause safety hazards and transport disruption. The state's Supreme Court ruled on Saturday that it could go ahead. New South Wales police said they were deploying hundreds of personnel and urged marchers to remain peaceful. Police were also present in Melbourne, where a similar protest march was taking place. Diplomatic pressure ramped up on Israel in recent weeks. France and Canada have said they will recognise a Palestinian state, and Britain says it will follow suit unless Israel addresses the humanitarian crisis and reaches a ceasefire. Israel has condemned these decisions as rewarding Hamas, the group that governs Gaza and whose attack on Israel in October 2023 began an Israeli offensive that has flattened much of the enclave. Australia's centre-left Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said he supports a two-state solution and Israel's denial of aid and killing of civilians "cannot be defended or ignored", but has not recognised Palestine.

Just 36 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday, Palestinian officials claim - short of 600 needed
Just 36 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday - despite the humanitarian situation in the enclave worsening, Palestinian officials have warned. According to the Gazan government's media office, most of the humanitarian supplies were looted and stolen - "as a result of the state of security chaos that the Israeli occupation systematically and deliberately perpetuates". Officials say at least 600 truckloads of aid are required on a daily basis, adding: "The needs of the population are worsening." 1:56 A statement released late last night called for "the immediate opening of crossings, and the entry of aid and infant formula in sufficient quantities" - and "condemned in the strongest terms the continuation of the crime of starvation". Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, refuted this - and accused Hamas of "stirring up a slanderous propaganda campaign against Israel". He said: "The cruelty of Hamas has no boundaries. While the State of Israel is allowing the entry of humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza, the terrorists of Hamas are deliberately starving our hostages and document them in a cynical and evil manner. "The terrorists of Hamas are deliberately starving the residents of the Strip as well, preventing them from receiving the aid." 0:36 It comes as the Palestinian Red Crescent in Gaza said its headquarters in Khan Younis were hit by an Israeli strike, killing one staff member and injuring three others. Footage posted on social media shows a fire broke out in the building. Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel for a 60-day ceasefire, and a deal for the release of half the hostages still held in Gaza, ended in deadlock last week. US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy told the families of the hostages yesterday that he was working with the Israeli government on a plan that would end the war. Steve Witkoff claimed that Hamas was willing to disarm to stop the conflict, despite the group's repeated statements that it would not do so. In response, Hamas said it would not disarm unless an independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. After Mr Witkoff's meeting with the families of the hostages, Hamas released two videos of an emaciated Israeli hostage, Evyatar David, who was abducted from the Nova music festival on 7 October 2023 and has been held in captivity in Gaza since. The 24-year-old looked skeletal, with his shoulder blades protruding from his back. He was heard saying that he had not eaten for three days. The distressing videos show him digging his own grave, he said in the footage.

SNP under fire over public energy firm as Wales launches wind projects
The Labour-run administration in Cardiff set up Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru (which translates to Green Electricity Wales) in 2024, and in July announced plans for three wind farms on publicly owned Welsh woodlands – as well as more renewable energy projects yet to be finalised. Trydan said the initial three wind farms would be able to generate up to 400 MW of clean electricity – enough to power around one in four Welsh homes – with 'all profits generated reinvested in Welsh communities and public services'. In 2017, then-Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon pledged to establish a 'publicly owned, not-for-profit energy company', but the policy was dropped after the 2021 Holyrood elections. Robin McAlpine, from the Common Weal think tank, said that they had partnered with Plaid Cymru during their time in the Welsh government to lay the groundwork for Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru. 'The whole point of that conversation was to explain how to create a public energy company under a devolved settlement – and the fact that this is happening in Wales shows that it certainly could have happened in Scotland too,' he said. READ MORE: UK energy bills to rise as Ofgem approves £24bn investment 'Common Weal has made this point over and over again – the letter of the devolution settlement says the Scottish Government can't own a wind farm, but we've set out about six different workarounds. 'The fastest is to create an energy company which is co-ordinated and funded by the Scottish Government, but in which the actual wind farms are owned by local authorities. 'We have told the Scottish Government this again and again. It is a very active choice to maintain an almost wholly privatised energy system in Scotland.' Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie MSP also called for more to be done to ensure communities in Scotland see the benefits of energy generation projects. Scottish Green co-leader Patrick Harvie (Image: PA) 'Scotland has seen extraordinary growth in renewables, but this hasn't come with the growth of local, community and public ownership that some countries have achieved,' he told the Sunday National. 'We have an abundance of natural resources at our disposal that can generate clean, green, renewable energy, and we also have highly skilled people with years of experience working in the energy sector. The Greens want these resources to benefit everyone, not just giant private investors. 'It is great to see Wales taking steps in this direction. As Greens, we've long made the case for every local community to have its own energy company, as well as a role for the national level. 'The Scottish Government can do far more to ensure that the ownership models for renewable energy put money back into communities across Scotland, at the same time as cutting emissions. Local ownership, community ownership and public ownership should all be playing a much bigger role.' READ MORE: Scottish Government approves one of world's biggest wind farms amid controversy However, a Scottish Government spokesperson insisted that they did not have the powers required. 'A national public energy company that is involved in large-scale energy generation would only be possible in an independent Scotland where we had full powers over the energy market and full access to borrowing,' they said. 'We are committed to maximising the public benefits of our renewables revolution, and while many powers remain reserved, we will use the powers we do have and continue to grow community investment in energy-related projects and technology.' In January, Scottish Energy Secretary Gillian Martin told MSPs that setting up a publicly owned energy firm was "not something we are able to do at the moment with the current devolution settlement". Rebecca Evans is the Economy Secretary in the Welsh Labour Government (Image: Welsh Government) Announcing the Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru plans for 400MW of wind farm capacity, Welsh Labour's Economy Secretary Rebecca Evans said: 'These proposals demonstrate our commitment to harnessing Wales's abundant natural resources to generate clean energy while ensuring the benefits are felt locally. 'By developing these projects on the Welsh Government Woodland Estate, we're making best use of our public land to tackle the climate emergency and create sustainable economic opportunities." A press release said that the developments will 'create hundreds of jobs during construction and operation, with Trydan committed to involving Welsh companies throughout the process'.
