what we got today was really an update on a series of ongoing and overlapping investigations into allegations that we broadcast last year. we highlighted the problem of doctors and nurses at uhb fearing that if they raised patient safety concerns they might be punished. in today s update the report author, professor mike bewick says. one of the allegations was that uhb would use the threat of disciplinary investigation by the general medical council to punish doctors who spoke up. today, professor bewick said these allegations needed a wider and more detailed investigation. in the case that we reported, eye surgeon tristan reuser was wrongfully dismissed
from the middle east and africa. and so people from other parts of the world see this as desperately hypocritical. this is one of the reasons they are not supporting, evenif reasons they are not supporting, even if they don t like the russian invasion, they are not criticising it and putting sanctions against it, because of the hypocrisy. it can be related to a contrast. me because of the hypocrisy. it can be related to a contrast. . . related to a contrast. we must wra it related to a contrast. we must wrap it up related to a contrast. we must wrap it up but related to a contrast. we must wrap it up but thank related to a contrast. we must wrap it up but thank you, - related to a contrast. we must i wrap it up but thank you, andrew, the former un special rapporteur. back in december of last year newsnight broke a story about whistle blowing allegations at university hospitals birmingham. well, that report and a series of follow ups have continued to make waves. there ve been res
