The Argentinian ambassador has accelerated her argument with the BBC over a Top Gear special filmed in the country.
Alicia Castro, the country's ambassador to the UK, has written to BBC Trust chairman Rona Fairhead expressing her "discontent" after a meeting with the corporation's director of television Danny Cohen.
The motoring show's crew fled Argentina after trouble erupted when it emerged they were using a Porsche with registration number H982 FKL, which some suggested could refer to the Falklands conflict of 1982.
Executive producer Andy Wilman denied the number plate was a "stunt" and presenter Jeremy Clarkson said he was "shocked" when someone pointed out the link.
Ms Castro met Mr Cohen, but he refused her demand for a public apology and said the BBC would screen the show. A Trust spokeswoman said: "We have received the letter and will be responding in due course."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
