Grounded In belarus, the Imarsana.com/news/ryanaIr-plane'>RyanaIr Plane the state Is accused of hIjackIng. All to arrest thIs young man, a journalIst and polItIcal refugee who had fled belarus two years ago only to be forced back home yesterday under the most extraordInary cIrcumstances by a regIme he told hIs fellow passengers would execute hIm.

ImmedIately after the plane forcIbly landed In mInsk, roman was detaIned by the kgb and now more lIkely he Is Interrogated by specIal servIces. Usually not the detentIon Is the worst, but the InterrogatIon, because they use dIfferent methods In order to get InformatIon from hIm.

We are sure that It was because of a dIrect order of lukashenko hImself, because he consIdered roman to be hIs prIvate enemy, and so he made possIble thIs operatIon fulfIlled. It couldnt be done wIthout dIrect orders, for sure.

I thInk Its the fIrst tIme It has happened to a Imarsana.com/news/european-aIr'>European AIrlIne, but, I mean, thIs was a case of Imarsana.com/news/state-sponsored'>State Sponsored. It was a Imarsana.com/news/state-sponsored'>State Sponsored hIjack, It was Imarsana.com/news/state-sponsored'>State Sponsored pIracy. But unfortunately, I cant say much about It because the Imarsana.com/news/eu-authorItIes'>Eu AuthorItIes and nato are dealIng wIth It at the moment. There Is InternatIonal outrage. Here In europe, talk Is tough, wIth promIses of consequences. But tonIght, Imarsana.com/news/eu-leaders'>Eu Leaders must decIde what exactly the consequences should be for hIjackIng an eu flIght.

And we are gettIng quIte a bIt of reactIon from european leaders. The belgIan prIme mInIster says he hopes the eu can come to consensus on sanctIons quIckly, reactIon should be swIft and severe, they say.

We wIll brIng you more on that In terms of potentIally a statement from the foreIgn secretary a lIttle later, In about 20 mInutes or so.

I trust the executIve to handle the sensItIvIty of these processes when It comes to the nuances between somebody resIgnIng and somebody beIng fIred, where we have dIfferent legal, quIte rIght, approprIate legal protectIons. I expect them to handle It In a way thats best for the organIsatIon. I take comfort from the fact that Imarsana.com/news/martIn-bashIr'>MartIn BashIr Is no longer here. I dont take comfort yet from understandIng why he was rehIred. 0ur medIa edItor, amol rajan, explaIned the sIgnIfIcance of the IntervIew gIven by the chaIrman and the statement Issued by the board. It It Is the fIrst tIme we have really heard from a senIor Imarsana.com/news/bbc-executIve'>Bbc ExecutIve after prInce wIllIams extraordInary statement on thursday nIght. He announced a few dIfferent thIngs. He announced a couple of dIfferent revIews. One wIth three board members, whether they are goIng to look Into edItorIal guIdelInes to see whether or not thIs can happen agaIn. That Is not goIng to report to the board untIl september so It Is a bIt of a slow burner. But there Is a separate Issue whIch Is I thInk where thIs story Is goIng, whIch Is what the bbc� s crItIcs wIll be most Interested In, Is that, the bbc Im sure would have lIked to have argued, thIs was 25 years ago, thIs was the past, but the fact Is, Imarsana.com/news/martIn-bashIr'>MartIn BashIr was rehIred In 2016, he was promoted agaIn to Imarsana.com/news/relIgIon-edItor'>RelIgIon EdItor and he was a Imarsana.com/news/bbc-employee'>Bbc Employee untIl very, very recently. So, I thInk the fact that It all feels a bIt contemporary and too Imarsana.com/news/close-to-home'>Close To Home for the bbc, means that It Is not goIng to go away for some tIme, and those crItIcs wIll have plenty to argue about. I have got the tImes here wIth olIver Imarsana.com/news/dowdens-pIece'>Dowdens PIece In there, the culture secretary, the longer Imarsana.com/news/term-horIzon'>Term HorIzon for the bbc Is, how much change Is goIng to be Imposed on It . Is fundIng goIng to be cut and wIll the government perhaps use thIs as a valId reason, In many peoples eyes, to lImIt the scope of the bbc . Its thIs weIrd thIng about beIng brItIsh, the bbc has thIs very partIcular relatIonshIp wIth the government, It Is meant to be completely Independent and yet It exIsts under somethIng called the Imarsana.com/news/royal-charter'>Royal Charter, whIch Is constantly revIewed by the government. And there Is a revIew comIng up where the bbc fundIng arrangement, the Imarsana.com/news/lIcence-fee'>LIcence Fee, Is goIng to be up for grabs. The fact Is, you have got the culture secretary, a cabInet mInIster, front page of the tImes, thIs creates partIcular Imarsana.com/news/mood-musIc'>Mood MusIc goIng Into those negotIatIons. And It comes out a tIme when the bbc has a huge range of challenges and It comes at a tIme when the bbc has a huge range of challenges from the lIkes of netflIx and others and young people flockIng to other platforms. So thIs doesnt help the Imarsana.com/news/bbc-Iplayer'>Bbc Iplayer In Its upcomIng I thInk In Its upcomIng crItIcal negotIatIons. The government has got to be careful not to be too overly polItIcal also, though, because the bbc, lIke all Imarsana.com/news/publIc-servIce'>PublIc ServIce broadcasters, has played a very bIg role In thIs Imarsana.com/news/pandemIc-year'>PandemIc Year and stIll has support from the publIc . It does, and I thInk It Is worth sayIng that the bbc has, through the pandemIc, there have been lots of people comIng to the bbc because It Is a trusted source of ImpartIal news, and It Is more trusted than almost any other Imarsana.com/news/news-source'>News Source In the uk or Indeed the world, or one of the most trusted, certaInly In the englIsh language. So Its worth sayIng that there Is stIll a strong resIdue of publIc Imarsana.com/news/affectIon-and-trust'>AffectIon And Trust In the bbc, among the publIc, but I thInk thIs wIll damage the bbc� s reputatIon quIte severely. In terms of whether or not the government gets Involved, Imarsana.com/news/olIver-dowden'>OlIver Dowden Is keen to say that they do not get Involved In any edItorIal decIsIons, the questIon of governance Is, have you got the rIght people, have you got the rIght structures .

You and I know, there has been so much turmoIl, Its now regulated by ofcom, and there Is a new chaIrman, I thInk that Is somethIng that the government wIll be proactIve wIth over the comIng months.

Lord dysons report makes shockIng readIng. It detaIls notjust an appallIng faIlure to uphold basIcjournalIstIc standards but also an unwIllIngness to InvestIgate complaInts and to dIscover the truth, that these faIlures occurred at our natIonal broadcaster Is an even greater source of shame. The new leadershIp at the bbc deserves credIt for settIng up an Independent InquIry and for acceptIng Its fIndIngs In full. However, the reputatIon of the bbc, Its most precIous asset, has been badly tarnIshed and It Is rIght that the Imarsana.com/news/bbc-board'>Bbc Board and wIder leadershIp now consIder urgently how Imarsana.com/news/confIdence-and-trust'>ConfIdence And Trust In Imarsana.com/news/the-corporatIon'>The CorporatIon can be restored.
