passed laws which severely restrict how the media in russia are able to report, especially around the invasion of ukraine, and they say that specifically calls seriously into question with about whether rt can fulfill its obligation under the license in this country to report impartially and they have concluded, therefore, that it cannot and that is why they have withdrawn this license. in fact, rt has been unavailable to watch in the uk for a couple of weeks now because it was taken off air due to eu sanctions affecting the satellite that it broadcasts from. i suppose what we will be watching for now and what the fear was in some parts about actually being taken against rt is whether the russian state then takes action against broadcasters within russia specifically of course the bbc as well and if that happened whether that would have a knock on impact to the amount of clear factual information that is making its way to russian ears
