British media watchdog investigates RT

london - The British media regulator Ofcom has started seven investigations into the Russian news channel RT. It should show whether the sender has violated the rules on impartial reporting since the poisoning of the former Russian double-spy Sergej Skripal in the English city of Salisbury.

Ofcom said that RT in the past has kept the rules as good as other channels. 'But since the events in Salisbury, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of RT programs that are grounds for research due to possible violations of the Ofcom broadcast code,' said the media supervisor.

The news channel, the former Russia Today, announced on Wednesday that its journalistic way of working has not changed since the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter. A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry had warned last month that 'no British medium will still work in our country if they close Russia Today. '
