Downing Street persuaded Panorama to cut an exposé on the shooting of an unarmed boy in Derry in 1972, reports Anne Cadwallader.
The very highest levels of the British government secretly exerted pressure on the BBC to censor a film about the army killing an unarmed child in 1972.
Official documents, recently discovered by the Pat Finucane Centre, also show the British Army was aware, shortly after the killing in Derry, that the boy had been killed at "point blank" range by an immensely powerful machine-gun.
