The Corrections: The Carbonara Case

Bbc Radio 4
About this episode

The Corrections re-visits four news stories which left the public with an incomplete picture of what really happened.

In August 2017, The Times published a piece with the headline ‘Christian child forced into Muslim foster care’. The story was front-page news the next day as well - and the next – but was it right?

Produced and presented by Jo Fidgen and Chloe Hadjimatheou
