A BBC programme which aired a claim that Gerry Adams sanctioned the killing of a spy would “probably” not have breached broadcasting regulations and was not “unfair or unjust”, a media expert has told a court.
Chris Banatvala, who drew up the UK’s broadcasting rules for Ofcom and was its founding director of standards, compiled a report based on a programme which claimed that Mr Adams had sanctioned the murder of Denis Donaldson.
