What should the BBC have done?

Factually state the implications of what Trump is saying, forcefully?

They don't have to turn into a Fox opinion segment, they can just explain reality instead of blowing past it, then turning to talking heads.

I happen to have BBC News on just now. Besides factually reporting on what Trump said, over the past hour they’ve interviewed a number of people about the topic each offering different perspective. Many of them commented on what utter rubbish Trump’s statements were. I’d say BBC reporting on the topic has been factual, balanced and to a good standard I’d expect of them.

The UN Secretary General’s spokesperson Stephane Dujarric has just previewed remarks that we are expecting this afternoon from Antonio Guterres, in response to President Donald Trump's shocking plan for the US to take over Gaza.

On Gaza, Guterres will say that it is “vital to stay true to the bedrock of international law” and “essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing”.

Since Trump made his controversial Gaza remarks yesterday, some Democrats have taken to social media to condemn his comments.

Many have accused the Republican president of "promoting ethnic cleaning" for saying Palestinians should leave Gaza and settle elsewhere.

"It is horrific," Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told reporters, adding: "It is part of the culmination of what I view to be genocide of the Palestinian people."

Use the term "Ethnic Cleansing" because that is literally the term which describes Trumps plan...

I don't think it's a new agency's job to make such claims, but they have reported on people calling it that

Watch: 'Definition of ethnic cleansing', Ocasio-Cortez says on Trump's Gaza plan

Can't say I see anything wrong with BBC's actions here tbh.
