About 17:20 in. Again they do mention the race and the link with migration as well. They also talk about how this was provoked questions/anger at the refugee policy of the German government.
I couldn't find anything on Radio 5 site's admittedly although most of their stuff appears domestically targeted (so much about Labour's reshuffle). However I have linked to multiple BBC Website stories, two BBC news reports, a BBC Newsnight report, a BBC News at 10 report and a, albeit brief, Radio 4 report so I am not convinced there is a BBC editorial policy not to mention it. |
So it seems that Radio 5 has a maverick PC obsessed news editor. Now that'd really be something eh?
Maybe the decisions on content on the various programmes are made 'locally' and the omission is just a reflection of differing interpretations of BBC 'policy'. On the other hand, as time went on, maybe the Beeb decided that not mentioning ethnicity when everyone else was had become untenable. Having said that, the broadcast I heard was 9-9.30pm last night...
Given the Beeb's well known fixation with polciitcal correctness, I don't find it at all surprising that they might not be keen to mention ethnicity in any negative context such as this. That's the reason so many of their reports on the migration chaos repeatedly state 'many of them from Syria' when it's be more accurate to say 'most of them NOT from Syria' or words to that effect.
