BBC temporarily suspends its journalists work in Russia
-
BBC News journalists will halt their work in Russia in response to a new law that threatens to jail anyone Russia deems to have spread "fake" news on the armed forces. BBC Director-General Tim Davie said the legislation "appears to criminalize the process of independent journalism." BBC News in Russian will still be produced from outside the country.
