David Aaronovitch, worked for the BBC in a senior capacity before becoming a writer for the Independent and later a columnist on the Times. He's made numerous documentaries and currently presents BBC Radio 4’s The Briefing Room. He publishes longer articles on his substack 'Notes from the Underground' and contributes to Tortoise Media. We discussed the complexities and roots of the current conflict in Israel and Gaza, BBC coverage of the war, the BBC's role in public service media, potential cuts and his departure from the Times and current interests.

"One of the big problems that I think that the BBC has had and other, is that they've not been able to be fully truthful about the circumstances under which they report from Gaza. I've really felt this incredibly strongly."
