The rather useless and hugely partial BBC correspondent Tabitha Morgan closes this piece with the lines:



"...if, ultimately, Turkish and Turkish Cypriot flags will be replaced by a single Cypriot one."



Whilst simultaneously the camera pans on to frame the (Greek) Cypriot flag together with that of Greece!

Not the greatest bit of reporting I've ever seen, researcher and producer together with Ms Morgan should get a rocket up there proverbials.

Perhaps these reporters are getting free holidays.

Maybe not the best reporting but good coverage and publicity for the country.

Gordon... are you sure about the flags? The larger one in the front looks distinctly TRNC to me....

Look at 02:26 where, as she says "a single cypriot one" we have a picture of the Republic of Cyprus' flag sharing space with a mainland Greek Cross-on-blue.
