I rarely write to the BBC but felt impelled to do so this time:

“Virtually the first Radio 4 news item yesterday was regarding Harry and Megan’s paparazzie experience. This item went on for far too long and needed drastic editing. Well down the list of news items came the catastrophic flooding affecting Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region (incidentally the word Romagna was incorrectly pronounced on BBC TV world news by Yalda Hakim who pronounced the ‘gn’ as if was just an ‘n’ making it seem as if she was referring to a Roman woman) in which hundreds of thousand of people have been displaced, irreplaceable art works damaged, deaths increasing and communications cut. This lack of item priority in my opinion and in that of all those who love or live in this area is quite unacceptable especially regarding a tragic situation.”
