Supporters of the pro-independence group All Under One Banner have gathered for a protest outside BBC Scotland's Glasgow building.
Hundreds gathered outside BBC HQ at Pacific Quay at around 5.30pm for a socially distanced rally.
Supporters gathered with saltires and banners to listen to speakers - with some carrying placards blasting the BBC.

One placard read: "Biased Broadcasting Corporation"
Campaigners had originally planned a demonstration to take place at George Square but relocated the rally to outside the BBC’s building in Pacific Quay following the decision from the corporation to stop showing daily Covid briefings from Nicola Sturgeon.

It comes as the BBC announced just before the rally that they would be airing Covid briefings next week.
A statement from the corporation read: "As we said last week, such decisions will always be made on the basis of editorial judgement and listening to our audiences. We will always take full account of how the pandemic continues to evolve to inform that judgement.
"Our coverage of Coronavirus and public health issues in Scotland will continue to incorporate a range of voices and perspectives, and this will be further enhanced as part of our ongoing coverage of the Scottish Government briefings.

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.

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
