NEW: Samira Ahmed has won her equal pay case against the BBC at an employment tribunal
The judges said Ahmed's work on Newswatch was comparable to Jeremy Vine's work on Points of View, and that the BBC had failed to show their difference in pay was because of a factor other than sex discrimination
A BBC spokesperson said: "We’ll need to consider this judgment carefully. We know Tribunals are never a pleasant experience for anyone involved. We want to work together with Samira to move on in a positive way."
Samira Ahmed said: “No woman wants to have to take action against their own employer. I love working for the BBC. I'm glad it's been resolved... I'm now looking forward to continuing to do my job, to report on stories and not being one."
