POLL OF THE DAY: Does the BBC's apology over 'serious flaws' in the Hamas documentary go far enough? YOUR VERDICT

The BBC has apologised for "serious flaws" in a controversial Gaza documentary after it emerged one of the film's key contributors was the son of a senior Hamas official.

The documentary sparked outrage and was later removed from the broadcaster's Player service.

The documentary, titled "Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone", featured interviews with Abdullah Al-Yazouri, who is the son of Hamas's Deputy Agriculture Minister Ayman Alyazouri.

The revelation led Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy to demand assurances from BBC director-general Tim Davie that the broadcaster had not paid money to Hamas terrorists.

The BBC issued a lengthy apology, stating: "BBC News has conducted an initial review on the programme Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone."

"It has identified serious flaws in the making of this programme."

"Some of these were made by the production company and some by the BBC; all of them are unacceptable," the statement continued.

"BBC News takes full responsibility for these and the impact that these have had on the corporation's reputation. We apologise for this."

The BBC board separately acknowledged that "the mistakes here are significant and damaging to the BBC".

The board stated that while the documentary's subject was "a legitimate area to explore", trust in journalism remains paramount.
