Why does the BBC avoid using the word 'terrorist'?

Andrea Catherwood discusses the BBC's coverage of events in Israel and Gaza with the director of News Content. And two younger listeners give their take on the Today podcast.

The BBC has been criticised for avoiding use of the word "terrorist" in its coverage of events in Israel and Gaza. Andrea Catherwood discusses this, and the BBC's coverage of the conflict, with Richard Burgess, the BBC's Director of News Content.

Also, we have more on the ongoing controversy surrounding the BBC's decision to cut Local Radio output. 

And two journalism students at Cardiff University run the rule over the Today podcast's new, chattier feel.
