BBC to resume English language reporting in Russia | BBC | The Guardian

The BBC is to resume English language reporting in Russia after it had temporarily suspended its coverage to assess the implications of the country’s new media law.
It paused the work of its news reporters and support staff in Russia on Friday after legislation was passed making it a criminal offence to spread “fake” or “false” news about the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine.
The BBC said it had “considered the implications” of the law and that after “careful deliberation” it would continue English language reporting from Tuesday evening.

Have they thought about what could happen to their reporters in Russia?

“We will tell this crucial part of the story independently and impartially, adhering to the BBC’s strict editorial standards. The safety of our staff in Russia remains our No 1 priority.”

That'll be a 'no' then.
