Wreath was upside down. Like a lot of people, i do want the bbc to be impartial. The footage of the broadcast was obviously more helpful to mrjohnson than the footage that went out live the day before. Im certain you didnt lose it overnight, so my question is, why did you broadcast 3 year old footage without telling us and why you did it at all . Please can someone explain why mondays report of the cenotaph ceremony included footage of Boris Johnson clearly shot on a totally different occasion . There were so many discrepancies not least of which that his wreath was a completely different colour that i find it very hard to believe this was a genuine mistake. A genuine mistake is exactly what the bbc said it was. But how could it have come about . The corporations news footage is saved and stored in a digital system called jupiter, used across Television News including breakfast, where journalists can access and edit material thats recently broadcast, feeds from news agencies, and also library material. Footage is either marked blue if its online and ready to use, purple if its on the shelf, or grey if its in the off line archive. And anyjupiter user can restore archive material, make a clip from it and rename it, and then it is available for broadcast. That, we are told, is what happened last weekend with those 3 year old pictures. To shed some more light on what happened, im joined from salford by the editor of breakfast. Thank you for coming on to newswatch. Given there was so much controversy about the Prime Ministers appearance at the cenotaph, people are really concerned about why breakfast ran the wrong footage three times the day after. Can you understand that concern . I can understand that concern, samira, and as we stated at the time, i want to apologise for that error. It was a human error, it shouldnt have happened, and its a mistake that i have apologised for at the time and importantly, ive come on newswatch to apologise for again. The Archive Footage from three years ago what was it doing on the news server, anyway . So i think its important to give some context to this story. The original Archive Footage had been sourced 2a hours before. So one of the producers on that saturday night into sunday went into the millbank server, which is a seperate, smaller server connected to the main one, to search for some material. And its like google for instance, you might put in, johnson, cenotaph and it called up this material and it was brought over to the salford server for use on that programme on sunday morning. Now, in the end, it never got used on the programme on sunday morning. Again, thats not unusual. Theres often a lot of material brought into the building that isnt used, whether thats library or current, but its there as an option to use. That doesnt then get automatically deleted. That stays on the system, so that material stayed on the system. Another team then came in on sunday night, working into monday, to work on that programme, and one of the team was responsible for producing what is a small bit of content it was a summary headline an 00v as we call it at the bbc, out of vision. And that went out sunday morning. And when they went into the system, again, think of it like a google search. And they searched for cenotaph on the system and when they found that material, theyve mistakenly thought it was relevant to the service that had taken place on sunday morning at 11 oclock. People are puzzled as to why before the cenotaph ceremony happened, there is a search for material from the past, where it was on the server at all. In that context, when youre putting together a programme that looks ahead to an event, you want a range of material that can help the viewer understand or imagine what will go on that day. Now, naturally, with it being his first appearance as Prime Minister obviously, he has been there before in his role as foreign secretary its not unsurprising that by digging out some material that refers to him laying a wreath at a previous event, that this would be the sensible sort of material that you might want to use in a broadcast that was done on sunday morning looking ahead to what went on. So when youre speaking to a reporter who is at an event at 7 oclock in the morning, because obviously not a lot is going on beforehand, but they are throwing ahead to what may happen later, it may be wanted by the Programme Team to use as a bit of a picture to help illustrate what would be happening later on. At all of course, the preview footage was not used in that way at all and i suppose people are wondering, was it not labelled with the date so to be used in a news summary the following day, it suggests someone either wasnt reading the labels, thats what people are puzzled about. But youve got to remember is, the team was busy, it was labelled leaders at cenotaph ii, 13 the ii, 13 referring to the date but not say the year. It did have, in a far more detailed way elsewhere, that. But ultimately, they did not read that. They presumed this was footage of that day. There was no other recording on our server of the cenotaph service, so they made a mistake, human error, to use that footage and unfortunately it went out and for that, i apologise. And just to be clear, the title didnt imply the year, youd have to have gone into the notes that went with that footage and read them to realise for sure that the footage was three years old . Absolutely. 2,000 people have complained to the bbc about this, and one suspicion is that ifjeremy corbyn had looked this dishevelled, the news media would have made a very big story of it. So what do you say to those who believe the bbc was trying to downplay the Prime Minister looking dishevelled . Well, thats not true. Just being here, explaining to you the course of events in some detail is an attempt by me to be transparent and honest about a mistake that was just a human error. Trust and accuracy is important to me as an editor, to the journalists who work in bbc news, and frankly, speaking forjournalists who work in all broadcasters, for them, too. Because it undermines the confidence of the audience. I apologise for that its important to get things right but human errors can happen and when they do, its right to apologise. Thank you very much. Thank you. Richard, thank you very much. Bbcjournalists this week have been reporting on many parts of the uk affected by floods which caused disruption and damage across swathes of england and wales. Elizabeth walker was unhappy with the coverage, writing and Richard Andrew wanted more of a Wider Perspective than that. Finally, on tuesday, bbc news reported on the death of the former chief of the armed forces, who in 2014 was falsely accused of child sexual abuse. Linda was watching, and took to twitter to ask and peter had a different point to make, having watched the bbc news at ten last week, two viewers told us what they hope to see from the bbcs coverage of the general election campaign. We would like to hear more of your opinions so that next week, we can put some of them to the head of bbc westminster, who ill be speaking to. You can get in touch with us on any issue relating to bbc news by e mailing or you can find us on twitter. You can call us. And do have a look at our website. Thats all from us. Well be back to hear your thoughts about bbc News Coverage again next week. Goodbye. Hello. There is a bit more rain in the forecast for this weekend, but hopefully not as much as we had through the week or indeed, as much as weve had through the autumn so far. It looks like some places may well break records, so far this autumn sheffield have recorded over 400 millimetres of rain, just shy of the previous autumn record. Provisional figures suggest that nottingham, with 348 millimetres of rain, mayjust have beaten the previous autumn record rainfall. There is more of autumn to come of course and some showery rain in the forecast for this weekend, but also some spells of sunshine. Its quite a complex weather pattern. Low pressure over the near continent, a frontal system pushing in from the west, the two staging something of a pincer movement, bringing areas of cloud and patchy rain in towards our shores. Now, in between theres a zone of clear skies for scotland and Northern Ireland, thats where we are starting the day with a frost. And some fog patches across northern scotland, some of which will be quite stubborn through the day ahead. Generally, i think we will see a bit more cloud spreading into scotland and Northern Ireland as the day wears on. Eastern and southern scotland seeing some splashes of rain and those grey and damp conditions extend across northern england, down into parts of the midlands. The odd sharp shower for south west of wales down into cornwall, but for the south east of england, well, here a decent chance of seeing some dry weather and even a little bit of sunshine. Another chilly day, but not quite such a windy one as weve been used to lately. Now through saturday night into sunday, still these areas of cloud and showery rain around, it will turn a bit cloudier for a good part of scotland and Northern Ireland. Where you do keep clear skies, and some places will, it will turn into a bit of a chilly night. So on sunday, really were just chasing these areas of cloud and showery rain around the map. It looks like two parts of northern england, wales, the south west, people will see cloud and some showers at times. To the south east of that, a fighting chance of seeing at least some dry weather. And for Northern Ireland and scotland, it should turn increasingly break through the day. Its still chilly, single digit temperatures for most of us. Now, into the start of the new working week, this little ridge of High Pressure is going to try to work its way across the british isles. And that should give a drier and brighter day on monday. This is the day where we do get to dry out. There will be a few showers brought into north sea coastal areas on a brisk, northerly wind, but otherwise its fine. There is some sunshine. It stays pretty chilly, 6 10 degrees at best. But as we head deeper into the week, it does turn more unsettled again. We will see further outbreaks of rain, heaviest in the west. This is bbc news.
