The BBC was under the growing pressure last night for Senior Staff of AX in AX, who supervised the production of a Gaza documentary told by the son of a Hamas officer.
A core of managers who work on the current affairs of the BBC are being examined intensively on the program – and whether license cost money has been paid to the terror group.
Politicians and campaigners said that heads should roll after the company had admitted 'serious errors' in the production of the documentary.
Those who are among the spotlights are head of the current affairs of BBC Joanna Carr, together with commissioning editors Gian Quaglieni and Sarah Waldron, all of whom were directly involved in the program.
Furthermore, the management chain, the highly paid Chief Executive of BBC News and Current Affairs, Deborah Turness, is also confronted with questions.
Former Labor MP Lord Austin, who is like an independent pear, said: “Certainly, those who supervise the making of this program must be fired for the very serious professional and moral shortcomings.”
The campaign to anti -Semitism said: 'The BBC's statement is an exercise in desperate claim check and shows why an internal assessment is not a replacement for an independent investigation into this documentary and the broader bias at the BBC that made it possible to be made and broadcast. It is clear that those responsible must lose their jobs. '
Current affairs Baas Mrs Carr, who joined the BBC in 1997 as a newsstagee, was immediately in charge of the program.

A TV insider said: 'Given the nature of the story and the pressure that the BBC is under, everyone in a higher position should have been on a high alert. The BBC has many problems. How does someone who are responsible for editorial supervision survive that?
“There has been a remarkable lack of curiosity at every level for many months on a project that had flashy lights everywhere.”
BBC stars, including Gary Lineker, signed an open letter earlier this week in which the controversial Gaza documentary was defended that now has a probe of the police police.
Lineker, the best paid star of the company and presenter Anita Rani belonged to more than a dozen BBC employees who set their names on the letter, sent to the top team of the broadcaster, including BBC director-general Tim Davie.
Celebrities such as Miriam Margoyles also signed the letter, together with 13 anonymous BBC employees.
Questions are now being asked about the identities of the BBC employees and whether they can report impartial about the conflict in the middle in the future.
The letter – which was signed by more than 850 film, TV and media employees – insisted on the BBC to have attempts removed or subject to unnecessary rejections at the documentary.
It added: 'Calling to remove the documentary from IPLayer and social media have established a dangerous precedent. As media professionals are, we are extremely alerted by the intervention of political actors, including foreign diplomats, and what this means for the future of broadcast in this country.
'The silence of a child of a child from first -hand about survival in Gaza, where more than 13,000 children have been killed since October 2023, is not about compliance, but about erasing Palestinian suffering.
'The BBC must oppose political pressure aimed at suppressing stories that humanize Palestinians. A broadcaster cannot allow bad wedding attacks to dictate his editorial decisions. '
One of the most profitable supporters of the letter, Match of the Day Host Lineker, was previously under heavy fire for violating the impartial guidelines of the BBC.
