I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".
It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".
The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

👏👏 Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has told Sir Keir Starmer it is “time to look at rejoining” the EU to ease the country’s economic woes and get a grip on small boat crisis.
Kinnock, led Labour 1983 to 1992, said UK could no longer afford the “huge self-inflicted losses” created by leaving EU

No data cited. Research indicates kids are negatively impacted by conflict and violence in their homes. A conflict free single parent home is better for them if the alternative is conflict filled two parent. Also outcomes for kids with LGBT parents are very good. So.
