Is the BBC World Service On First Name Terms with Hillary Clinton?

BBC World Service - Over to You, Is the BBC World Service On First Name Terms with Hillary Clinton?

A listener isn’t happy about how Hillary Clinton was addressed on The World This Week

Editor Bill Ries responds to a listener's concerns that the BBC World Service isn’t affording the same respect to Hillary Clinton as to Donald Trump.

On the latest The World This Week, during an item about the US Presidential Elections, Hillary Clinton was referred to several times by her first name while Donald Trump was addressed by his surname. This week on Over To You Bernadette Farquhar from Barbados puts her concerns to The BBC World Service bulletins editor, Bill Ries and Rajan finds out what the protocol is for addressing candidates.

Also, the Global Sports team explain and respond to wording used in web text accompanying an interview with autistic athlete, Michael Brannigan.
