BBC sorry for UN logo gaffe
The BBC has apologised to viewers after mistakenly showing a graphic from a computer game instead of the UN Security Council logo.
The badge of the fictional United Nations Space Command, from interstellar war game Halo, was shown during a report on unrest in Syria.
It was featured alongside the Amnesty International logo, behind presenter Sophie Raworth as she read the news, reports the Guardian.
Viewers quickly spotted the error and posted pictures on social media sites.
A BBC spokesperson said: "BBC News makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all images broadcast, however very occasionally mistakes do happen.
"Unfortunately an incorrect logo was used during a segment on last week's News at One bulletin and we apologise to viewers for the mistake.
"The image was not broadcast in our later bulletins."
what do you think?

I never trust the BBC, they make one mistake after another, largely due to the ignorance of their journalists and script writers and lazy over-paid directors and producers. Complaining is made difficult, and when one does get a reply, there is no address to respond back when, as happened in one case, they made a further serious error. A professional organisation would assign a case officer when handling a complaint to that one does not have to go back to the beginning if the first reply is unsatisfactory.

Same with Central TV...I noticed , on a bmi baby airline advert, that they had the weather-vane back to front...East and West reserved... Contacted BMI and Central News, they seemed unconcerned....I often thought when a passenger expected to go to the States, how they would feel when they ended up in Cairo...Good Comment.
