The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has apologised for editing footage of a naval ceremony that made it appear as if leading dignitaries watched a modern dance troupe perform.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison criticised the ABC for misreporting the event, while the dance group has accused the public broadcaster of “deceptive editing” and filming the performance from provocative angles.
