Russia said last month it was launching an investigation into the BBC in response to pressure it said London was applying on a Kremlin-funded broadcaster's operations in Britain. The regulator, Roskomnadzor, said on Thursday it was now deciding how to proceed further in the case, the TASS news agency reported. "The spot check on British Television which broadcasts BBC World News is completed. An assessment of the procedural status of these violations is currently being carried out," it said. The BBC has repeatedly said it is in full compliance with Russian law.
