The government will now be responsible for the operational and financial risks of the company, which has produced next to no steel for over a year. Lawyers for Mr Gupta had applied for a four-week adjournment for time to place the company in a “pre-pack administration”, which allows an insolvent company to sell its assets to a bidder. The company, which uses scrap metal to manufacture steel, will now be placed in the hands of the official receiver – a government appointed liquidator – and special managers from consultancy firm Teneo.

Live. Famine confirmed in Gaza City for first time, UN-backed report says
Over half a million people across Gaza are facing “catastrophic” conditions characterised by “starvation, destitution and death”, the IPC says. A rail strike and works are expected this weekend as millions begin their bank holiday getaways. Geneva, Istanbul and Budapest have been put forward as potential locations – but bilateral talks still remain a long way off. Many couples are including their pooch in their big day, we talk to some whose dogs have played a key role.
Gaza City will be razed if Hamas does not agree our terms, Israel minister says
In 1999, the biggest relaunch occurred, with BBC One bulletins, BBC World, BBC News 24, and BBC News Online all adopting a common style. One of the most significant changes was the gradual adoption of the corporate image by the BBC regional news programmes, giving a common style across local, national and international BBC television news. This also included Newyddion, the main news programme of Welsh language channel S4C, produced by BBC News Wales. From August 2012 to March 2013, all news operations moved from Television Centre to new facilities in the refurbished and extended Broadcasting House, in Portland Place.
Those investors are part of the creditor group that applied for the winding up petition. Winding up the company, his lawyers argued, could place the business in “free fall” and incur significant disruption, cost and risk to a nationally important steel company and its staff. A purely comic character, Deck has failed the bar seven times but has many useful skills and qualities, not least a flexible sense of professional ethics.

The BBC Director of News, Richard Sambrook, the report said, had accepted Gilligan’s word that his story was accurate in spite of his notes being incomplete. Davies had then told the BBC Board of Governors that he was happy with the story and told the Prime Minister that a satisfactory internal inquiry had taken place. The Board of Governors, under the chairman’s, Gavyn Davies, guidance, accepted that further investigation of the Government’s complaints were unnecessary. In spite of a ban ordered by the Indian High court,127 the BBC still aired the documentary “India’s Daughter” outside India. Mr flexible budgets Williamson said the Rotherham plant had not produced steel since July 2024, with most of the workers on a form of furlough, being paid 85% of their wages. But he told the BBC the government’s next job is to ensure the steelworks now have “the brightest possible future”.
UK’s third-largest steelworks collapses into government control
The BBC has faced accusations of holding both anti-Israel and anti-Palestine bias. In his report on 28 January 2004, Lord Hutton concluded that Gilligan’s original accusation was “unfounded” and the BBC’s editorial and management processes were “defective”. In particular, it specifically criticised the chain of management that caused the BBC to defend its story.
- However, much of the insert material was still in black and white, as initially only a part of the film coverage shot in and around London was on colour reversal film stock, and all regional and many international contributions were still in black and white.
- As this was the decade before electronic caption generation, each superimposition (“super”) had to be produced on paper or card, synchronised manually to studio and news footage, committed to tape during the afternoon, and broadcast early evening.
- Prominent BBC appointments are constantly assessed by the British media and political establishment for signs of political bias.
- The equipment would gradually become less cumbersome – the BBC’s first attempts had been using a Philips colour camera with backpack base station and separate portable Sony U-matic recorder in the latter half of the decade.
- The Board of Governors, under the chairman’s, Gavyn Davies, guidance, accepted that further investigation of the Government’s complaints were unnecessary.
The BBC is a quasi-autonomous corporation authorised by royal charter, making it operationally independent of the government. The court decision comes after the government took over day to day running of British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant in April to prevent its Chinese owners from closing its steel furnaces. Speaking from outside the Sheffield site, mayor of South Yorkshire Oliver Coppard said it was “good news” the government had stepped in to take control and end the uncertainty for workers. A spokesperson for the government said that it remains “committed to a bright and sustainable future” for steelmaking in the UK. Liberty Steel Group’s finances were upended when its main lender, Greensill Capital, collapsed owing billions to investors including UBS and Citibank.
The move began in October 2012, and also included the BBC World Service, which moved from Bush House following the expiry of the BBC’s lease. Afternoon television news bulletins during the mid to late 1970s were broadcast from the BBC newsroom itself, rather than one of the three news studios. The newsreader would present to camera while sitting on the edge of a desk; behind him staff would be seen working busily at their desks.
This coincided with a new structure to BBC World News bulletins, editors favouring a section devoted to analysing the news stories reported on. The retirement in 2009 of Peter Sissons57 and departure of Michael Buerk from the Ten O’Clock News58 led to changes in the BBC One bulletin presenting team on 20 January 2003. The Six O’Clock News became double headed with George Alagiah and Sophie Raworth after Huw Edwards and Fiona Bruce moved to present the Ten. A new set design featuring a projected fictional newsroom backdrop was introduced, followed on 16 February 2004 by new programme titles to match those of BBC News 24. However, much of the insert material was still in black and white, as initially only a part of the film coverage shot in and around London was on colour reversal film stock, and all regional and many international contributions were still in black and white. Colour facilities at Alexandra Palace were technically very limited for the next eighteen months, as it had only one RCA colour Quadruplex videotape machine and, eventually two Pye plumbicon colour telecines–although the news colour service started with just one.
