In other news, Jon Sopel tweeted the following yesterday:

The responses he received included the following:

• It *is* the Russian flag......
• Similar? Do you know what a Russian flag looks like @BBCJonSopel?

• Handed out by Huff Post journo I hear. No wonder Trump doesn't want @BBCNews in his press briefings.
