Britain has banned Russian state TV channel RT, saying it was unable to provide impartial coverage of the war in Ukraine
UK broadcast media regulator Ofcom said it had been conducting 29 investigations into RT's coverage of Russia's invasion, and had taken into account the channel's ties with the Russian state and new Russian laws which"effectively criminalize" any journalism that departs from the Kremlin's narrative in relation to the war.
An RT broadcast tent is seen on Red Square in Moscow on March 18, 2018.DirecTV, one of only two major television providers in the United States to carry RT, said earlier this month it was cutting ties with immediate effect. A few days later, RT America decided to cease production and lay off most of its staff. Ofcom's move could trigger further retaliation by Russian authorities against British broadcasters such as the BBC.
