Reporting on Children as Suicide Bombers

Available for over a year

Richard Clark, editor of the Radio News Room at BBC World Service responds to listener Cynthia Gualy from Houston, USA. She is concerned that the term suicide bomber, used when referring to children, implies choice. She is asking the news team to reconsider it’s use of language when reporting on these stores. Richard explains his position. Is the BBC World Service getting it right and, if not, what is the alternative? Also, listeners from Kenya and the UK have been in touch to say why they believe the latest episode of The Food Chain on Bottled Water has had a positive influence on the world.
