UK rejects plaints against hijabweari­ng TV presenter

-

Britain’s communicat­ions regulator Ofcom on Monday rejected complaints that it was inappropri­ate for a hijab-wearing journalist to present reports of the Bastille Day attack in France. A suggestion in a tabloid that it was not right for presenter Fatima Manji to report the incident set off a storm. Ofcom received 17 complaints about Channel 4 News‘s use of Manji. However, it deemed there was no ground to launch a probe into any potential breach of the broadcasti­ng code.
