News bulletin showing how Philippine rebels being shot down. Question whether such footage is acceptable within Code of Conduct for Broadcasters.
BCCSA holding that exceptional care should be taken before screening such material. However, in the circumstances, there was a warning beforehand and the shots were not at close range. Complaint dismissed.
If the material was screened at a time when a substantial number of children was in the audience, the complaint would have been upheld, e.g just before 18:00. Inquiry still pending on this allegation.
