The common issue is editorial failings ... the failings here are in the role of the BBC as the publisher of the material."/ppLyons said that the offending material transmitted on Brand's Radio 2 show should not have been recorded in the first instance and in the BBC Trust's view should then have been edited out before the broadcast. /pp"The failings we have discussed this morning are serious but they are being addressed," he added./ppLyons said that the BBC "needs to learn some lessons" but it usually got it right. /ppHe described it as a "disappointing and dismal episode", but said the director general, Mark Thompson, and his team had responded constructively./ppLyons also said it was "not rocket science" to have predicted that putting Ross in the same studio as Brand could lead to trouble. "You could have predicted a risky situation," he added./ppemstrongÂ·/strong To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email a href="mailto:editor@mediaguardian.co.uk"editor@mediaguardian.co.uk/a or phone 020 7239 9857.

Dick Cheney has helped raise awareness of accidents," said Carolina Fernandez, a marketing director. /ppThe US vice president shot and injured a friend while quail hunting in Texas in February 2006. Harry Whittington received shotgun pellets to the face, neck and chest./ppFor Caballero's factory in Bogota, Colombia's capital, a new market was born. The company started 17 years ago making protective clothing for politicians and security forces caught up in Colombia's civil war, but now it exports four-fifths of its output./ppIt has opened a branch in Mexico, which is convulsed by drug-related violence, and will soon open another in Guatemala. High profile clients include Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, Spain's Prince Felipe and the Hollywood action star Steven Seagal, who requested a bullet-proof kimono./ppIn July Caballero opened a branch in Harrods, London's flagship store, to cater largely to security-conscious Russian and Arab plutocrats. "We're just starting there and it's going well," he said this week, just back from a visit to London./ppThe protective jackets, blazers and raincoats rely not on Kevlar but overlaps of special synthetic material. The "classic" model weighs 1.5kg and can stop a round from .38 revolver and 9mm pistol. The "platinum" model weighs 2kg and can stop a mini-Uzi and MP5 assault rifle./ppHarrods' displays some Caballero wares near the Beretta concession in the hunting and outdoors section. The rest is in a section visited by appointment only./ppBogota's most famous tailor hopes Prince Harry and other royals will be among his customers. "That would be wonderful publicity."/ppCaballero tests his jackets by cheerfully shooting staff members, reserving special glee for his lawyer, who has been blasted at least four times. /ppHe also shot the Guardian: a .38 at point blank range aimed at the left kidney. It felt like a light tap. The bullet, fished out from the jacket lining, was crumpled. "See? I told you," he beamed. "Nothing to fear."/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/colombia"Colombia/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/fashion"Fashion/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/dickcheney"Dick Cheney/a/li/ul/divdiv class="guRssAdvert"a href="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/click.ng/richmedia=yessite=Newscountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227272530402112113081454945"img src="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/image.ng/richmedia=yessite=Newscountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227272530402112113081454945" border="0" //a/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a
