Fox News on air apology on Birmingham Muslim claims

Fox News has issued an on air apology about comments a terrorism expert made saying Birmingham is "a totally Muslim city where non-Muslims simply don't go in."

Steve Emerson - who is described as "one of the leading authorities on Islamic extremist networks" on his website - made the comments a week ago while speaking on Fox News about the recent Paris terror attacks.

The next day he apologised after receiving widespread criticism, including from Prime Minister David Cameron who said Mr Emerson was 'clearly an idiot'. In an attempt to make amends, the terrorism commentator then donated £500 to Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Fox News waited until yesterday to respond, when Fox News' Judge Jeanne Pirro issued an on air apology, saying it was wrong to let her guest's statements go unchallenged, could find 'no credible sources' for the comments, and that the network deeply regret the errors.
