| TUESDAY 19 JUNE 22:30 BST - BBC TWO FROM PROGRAMME PRODUCER KAVITA PURI Hello, NAVY"I welcome the report's clear recommendation that media payments to serving military or civilian personnel, for talking about their work, should simply not be allowed," so said Defence Secretary Des Browne in the Commons today. He was talking about the way the MoD handled the media following the detention of 15 navy personnel by Iran in March. There was also another report today into the affair - examining how the incident occured in the first place. Browne admitted that collective failures led to the sailors seizure. Mark Urban will be analysing the content of the two reports.
