The broadcast regulator has also ordered the Moscow-based news channel to broadcast a summary of Ofcom's findings to its viewers.

In a statement issued by Ofcom, it said an investigation found that RT failed to preserve due impartiality in seven news and current affairs programmes between 17th March and 26th April 2018.

Ofcom may have well opened a window and shouted that towards the Thames, for all the attention it will get from the offender..

.. Doubt they will pay the fine..
.. Doubt Bill Dodd will read the adjudication of findings on air..
