BBC to publish report on Bashir rehiring next week
Quote:An investigation into why the journalist Martin Bashir was rehired in 2016 will be published next week, BBC director general Tim Davie has said.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57238874
A recent inquiry by Lord Dyson found the corporation covered up "deceitful behaviour" by Bashir to secure an interview with Princess Diana in 1995.
Mr Davie said there was "no doubt" that rehiring Bashir years after the interview had been a "big mistake".
