The BBC has expressed regret for broadcasting “distressing” live pictures of a man being resuscitated in the immediate aftermath of the London bombings “by accident”.
The corporation said the pictures were shown erroneously because it was rushing to get information on the event to viewers but admitted that the images should not have been shown.
