‘censorship’
By George Odling
THE BBC should apologise to a
TV presenter involved in a race
row, former equalities boss
Trevor Phillips has said.
The corporation is facing pressure
over its reprimand to naga Mun-
chetty for condemning Donald
Trump’s call for four Democratic
congresswomen to ‘go back to their
own countries’.
Mr Phillips said the decision had put a
‘stain’ on the professional reputation of
the 44-year-old journalist.
In an on-air discussion with Breakfast

who has Indian and Mauritian
ancestry, said: ‘Every time I have should update its guidelines to instance, we have a professional into the remarks she made during BBC spokesman said: ‘The BBC is

Riders on the storm

Downpours ruin
our weekend –
with Hurricane
Lorenzo on way
By James Tozer
THE atrocious weather that swept
across the country at the
weekend is not going away,
forecasters warned last night.
A month’s worth of rain fell in some
regions over the past two days and
more is expected.
A rush of Arctic air will deliver a blast of
chilly autumnal weather, with snow flur-
ries over high ground, and the remnants
of Hurricane Lorenzo bringing gales.
The 160mph storm is expected to reach
Britain on Thursday night, by which time
it will have lost some of its power. More
than 70 flood warnings were in place last
night across England and Wales with
