We apologise for this human error which fell below our usual standards on the programme,”Newsreader Reeta Chakrabarti also ended the bulletin with an apology. “In our coverage of the death of Kobe Bryant, in one section of the report, we mistakenly showed pictures of another basketball player, LeBron James. We do apologize for the error,” she said.
