BBC claims anchor broke guidelines by replacing 'pregnant people' with 'women' in viral video

The BBC has upheld a complaint against presenter Martine Croxall for replacing the term 'pregnant people' with 'women' during a live broadcast, which the network determined breached its editorial standards of impartiality. Croxall's facial expression and the subsequent praise she received online were interpreted by the BBC's Executive Complaints Unit as expressing a personal view on a controversial issue related to gender identity. The incident sparked debate among viewers, with some interpreting her reaction as showing contempt or exasperation. BBC News management has discussed the findings with Croxall and the editorial team, but it remains unclear what further action will be taken.
