BBC News, Martine Croxall's report about the UK heatwave, 21 June 2025 01 July 2025 Summary of complaint We received complaints from people who were unhappy with Martine Croxall’s addition to the autocue saying “women” after “pregnant people”, as part of a BBC News report about staying safe during the heatwave. Our response During a sequence about heatwaves, Martine Croxall was reading a script that directly quoted a report from The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. As the language wasn’t clearly attributed, she used her editorial judgement to make a live adjustment. We’re happy that this was duly accurate and impartial in line with the BBC’s Editorial guidelines.
