Hello.
Just before lunchtime on Monday was one of those BBC News push alerts which got your WhatsApp groups fired up.
It was the news that the BBC had sacked the presenter of the Radio 2 breakfast show,
Scott Mills, somebody who 'd had a decades-long career at the corporation.
So we will talk about that and the latest on the war in the Middle East in this episode.
Hello, it 's Adam in the Newscast studio and we will start with that story that broke
just before lunchtime on Monday that the BBC had sacked.
Scott Mills after decades and decades on the nation's airwaves.
The person who's been covering the story all day is the BBC's culture and media editor, Katie Razzle, who's here.
Hi, Katie.
Hello, Adam.
Right.
Give us the timeline of how this story emerged.
Well, let's give credit to The Mirror because The Mirror had the scoop, if you like, that Scott Mills had been sacked.
For personal conduct reasons.
Oh, yes, because they posted their story at 11.30 on the dot with the headline exclusive,
which was roughly the same time as the BBC statement went out.
Exactly.
So we don't know the backstory to that.
We do n't know whether The Mirror had the story,
