00:13Israel's ambassador to the U.K. has apologized after a senior diplomat was caught on camera

00:18saying he wanted to take down the Foreign Office Minister, Sir Alan Duncan.

00:21Sir Alan Duncan, who is a strong critic of Jewish settlements.

00:25An Israeli senior political officer and a British civil servant were forced to resign.

00:30The diplomat in question no longer seems to be a functionary of the embassy in London.

00:37Whatever he may exactly have been doing here, his cover can be said to have been well and

00:42truly blown.

00:44Following that, the pro-Israel media began to attack Al Jazeera.

00:48Complaints were made to Ofcom, Britain's office of communications.

00:53The regulatory body is charged with ensuring broadcasters are fair and balanced.

00:57Al Jazeera English is required to uphold its standards.

01:01The films were accused of being anti-Semitic, that they infringed the privacy of pro-Israeli

01:06advocates, that they were unfair and biased.

01:10Ofcom launched an investigation and after nine months, fully vindicated the work of

01:14Al Jazeera's investigative unit.

01:17It rejected every complaint.
