BBC accused of 'building consent for genocide' at Glasgow protest
Campaign groups Mothers Against Genocide Scotland and Scotland for Palestine organised the demonstration in response to the news at the weekend that Israel targeted and killed six journalists in Gaza, including a prominent Al Jazeera reporter who had previously been threatened by Israel. Campaigners accused the BBC of "being complicit in the genocide" as they banged pots and pans outside the corporation's Pacific Quay building on Monday evening. (Image: Fraz @fraz1409, via Instagram) (Image: Fraz @fraz1409, via Instagram) Activists could also be seen holding a cardboard press vest – protective gear worn by the media in Gaza – inscribed with the names of Palestinian journalists who have been killed by Israel. (Image: Fraz @fraz1409, via Instagram) There was also a sign which read "BBC: Bought, Biased, Complicit". (Image: Fraz @fraz1409, via Instagram) The National reported how six journalists, including Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif – one of the network's most well-known journalists – were killed in an Israeli strike on Sunday evening. The other journalists who were killed were Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal, as well as freelance journalists Moamen Aliwa and Mohammad al-Khaldi. Israel's military confirmed killing al-Sharif, alleging he was with Hamas – an accusation Al Jazeera has denied. READ MORE: Monarchists fume over Nicola Sturgeon remarks on late Queen and Prince William According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), a non-profit organisation based in New York, 192 journalists have been killed since the start of the conflict on October 7, 2023. At least 184 of those journalists were Palestinians killed by Israel. The CPJ added that the attack on Sunday raises the number of Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel since October 7, 2023 to 11. The organisers behind Monday's demonstration accused the BBC of "building consent for genocide" in its reporting on Israel's brutal assault on Gaza. It comes after a landmark report from the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) showed "a pattern of bias, double standards and silencing of Palestinian voices" in the BBC's coverage of Israel's assault on Gaza. The report also found that the BBC gave Israeli deaths 33 times more coverage per fatality, despite Gaza suffering 34 times more casualties than Israel. Further, the broadcaster was found to have interrupted or dismissed claims of genocide more than 100 times – while only 3% of articles analysed by the CfMM used the terms "war crimes" in relation to Israeli violence against Palestinians. Mothers Against Genocide Scotland, one of the organisers behind the protest, take part in pot banging demonstrations at more than 20 locations across the country. Made up of parents and children, the group was inspired to take action after Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda urged people around the world to bang pots to highlight Israel's forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. READ MORE: Disgraced Prince Andrew should be stripped of all royal titles, UK voters say A spokesperson for Mothers Against Genocide told The National: "The murder of these journalists made us decide to target the BBC building for the pot banging last night. "Sadly, the BBC's editorial line keeps parroting the Israeli excuses for these war crimes and, in doing so, seeks to diminish the murders or pour doubt on those who have been murdered. "This illustrates how the media is complicit through its reporting and how the BBC builds consent for genocide. "As parents, we can't idly sit by and watch war crimes, including the collective punishment of men, women and children, continue to be misrepresented on our media." Fraz, a pro-Palestine activist who attended the protest, told The National: "It's a gut punch every time you hear about yet more Palestinian journalists being targeted by Israel. The tactic is clear, so silence any news coming out of Gaza to hide the atrocities. "This is bad enough, then you have globally respected media bodies like the BBC who further help to suppress and distort the news through lack of coverage or simply prioritising Israel over Palestine." The BBC was contacted for comment.

Vigilante cyclist who pushed his bike into a car he was trying to stop at ‘no entry' sign makes bizarre excuse
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A VIGILANTE cyclist who filmed himself pushing his bike into a car to stop it driving down a 'no entry' road has given a bizarre excuse. Footage posted by Michael van Erp, known as Cycling Mikey, shows him getting into a heated exchange with the motorist on Sunday. 5 Mikey's bike was smashed out of the way Credit: Cycling Mikey 5 The motorist ignores the flimsy roadblock and accelerates along the road anyway Credit: Instagram / CyclingMikey 5 Despite being confronted by the vigilante, the driver keeps trying to sneak down Credit: Cycling Mikey The video, posted on his Youtube channel, shows the 52-year-old initially blocking the Fiat 500 from driving down the road. Due to roadworks, the road appears to be reduced to a one way street, with traffic cones and signs telling drivers not to enter it. Despite being confronted by the vigilante, the driver keeps trying to sneak down Paddenswick Road in Hammersmith, west London. It is at this point the brazen vigilante cyclist tries to block the driver's path by throwing his bike in his path. The motorist ignores the flimsy roadblock and accelerates along the road anyway, smashing into the bicycle in the process. Responding to critics of his extreme actions today, Cycling Mikey gave a bizarre excuse for not stopping his bike. Writing on X, he claimed that he 'couldn't… brake a 28kg e-bike once I realised the driver wasn't stopping'. Footage of the confrontation between the road safety warrior and the driver was filmed by Mikey and a bystander. The Dutch vigilante is then left to pick up his possessions from the tarmac after unsuccessfully stopping the motorist. Prior to the smash, Mikey can be heard in the clip saying: "What is that sign back there? You have to go back now, very naughty.' Shouting at another driver who attempts to drive through the one-way street, he says: "No f*** off, go back. "What do you think you're doing? Go back." Moment dog walker 'pushes cyclist into canal' - but claims HE'S in the right The Met confirmed they were aware of the footage and urged Cycling Mikey to speak with officers. A spokesperson for the force said: 'We are aware of footage circulating on social media which appears to show an incident on Paddenswick Road, Hammersmith on Sunday August 10. 'No arrests have been made at this stage. 'We urge victims of crime to contact the police by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency.' Cycling Mikey has made a name for himself by filming motorists breaking the rules of the road and reporting them. On his social media, he claims to have reported more than 2,000 drivers in the space of six years. Since 2019, he says motorists have paid a total of £165,700 in fines and received 2,649 penalty points due to his actions. He also claims 35 people have been disqualified from driving. Last year, footage showed him cruising along the road before he caught a woman red-handed using her phone behind the wheel. She can be seen winding the window down as Mikey explains what she's done wrong. The woman then says how she's a doctor and explains it's a very "difficult job". Mikey then appears to consider letting the woman off the hook before he asks her if she already has points. But then when she admits she does he replies: "I'm starting to think you're someone not learning from the points system." In 2020, he videoed Guy Ritchie texting while behind the wheel of his Range Rover The exchange led to the film director being banned from driving for six months, as he already had nine speeding points. He also caught Chris Eubank on the phone in 2021, with the former world champion boxer telling him: 'Go away. Off you go, off you go.' Eubank was handed three penalty points and fined £280 in costs because he jumped a red light having driven away from van Erp. As well as his YouTube site, van Erp also uploads footage to a police website which is set up for citizen reporting. 5 Cycling Mikey has made a name for himself catching drivers breaking the rules Credit: Cycling Mikey
