Right response to terrorism. Why on earth do the angers me to run the programme from energy street, Reframe Makeshift prompt . What is the latest from there . This is one of five hospitals. Why would they repeating visits to reporters outside hospitals with nothing to report . All of this service to our julie dramatise the situation, adding nothing to the quality of the coverage, but giving maximum exposure to the terrorists. Duly. Apart from reporting facts and show respect for victims, the day after an attack like this should be handled like any other day. The programme had been run from the studio, with sometime allocated to other news, the bbc would have shown that normality had not been disrupted by the incident. Instead, you chose to show the terrorists what a big impact they can have. To discuss how bbc news has covered the attacks and the aftermath, i am joined by gavin allen, the bbcs controller daily news programmes. Several different points there. Lets look at them one at a time. It was a terrible attack. Viewers have asked what was to be gained by the broadcast the day after, given no further developments . Well, in fairness, they were. It has remained an unfolding situation. There was a minutes silence about to happen. Police were coming back for a special statement by the Prime Minister that morning. But it is also partly about the nature of news. I think a better location, wherein is that has happened, you simply do get, as a jealous, a better understanding, then sat in front of your desk or in a studio or elsewhere. I think it also conveys to the audience, importantly, this isa to the audience, importantly, this is a major event. And whether we like it or not, it is going to have a huge impact on the uk. There is a real concern about copycats. A huge impact on the uk. There is a real concern about copycatslj a huge impact on the uk. There is a real concern about copycats. I dont think responsibly reporting what has happened is encouraging people to repeat it. We are very aware of the responsibilities we have, but we are also aware that there are millions of people out there, the audience is a different programmes, who really wa nt to a different programmes, who really want to know what actually happened, not what is been speculated or what rimmer says. They come to the bbc to understand what is really occurred. And i think that is ourjob to tell them. At the end, leather not, this was a huge event, and there is could be publicity, as you said, for the terrorists, in this case, because everywhere, social media, every Media Organisations could cover it. What rimmer says. Media organisations could cover it. What rimmer says. There were lots of images of the dead or dying or severely injured. Many viewers but this is intrusive. Why did you broadcast on . I could tell. There been a lot of images i have seen this week both in the newsroom and in newspapers and on air, but we really Ta Ke In Newspapers and on air, but we really take care to ask what we are conveying with these images. There isa conveying with these images. There is a lot we did not broadcast. It is about trying to help audiences understand what has happened in the severity and horribleness of what has happened, but not to flow into insensitivity and impinging on the dignity of the injured, all, sadly, it theirfamilies. Dignity of the injured, all, sadly, it their families. Pc keith palmer, we know he died. It would take that asa we know he died. It would take that as a couple of intrusive coverage. We were careful not to show a lot of those images. We tried to show the scene, a mort general sense of people gathered around him tried to save him, but we were careful about. But of course, it is also about. But of course, it is also about the balance. This is an event that actually happened. People sought the bodies of people severely injured or possibly dead or dying. And the fact that you did not see their faces does not make an acceptable. I figured make a big difference. If you see a crowd of people around 70 who is injured, thatis people around 70 who is injured, that is very different from some of the images i have seen elsewhere of the images i have seen elsewhere of the person themselves injured and the person themselves injured and the blood. There is a big difference. It still conveys understanding, we draw the line. But in venice, it is not a precise line. You need to make a judgement. And thatis you need to make a judgement. And that is why different broadcasters and Media Organisations have come to differentjudgements. In the early hours, as one view is that, youve got a lot of repetition on the aftermath of the attack, with an opera much in the way of facts. So some viewers feel that this kind of coverage is innocent adding to of panic unnecessarily. I figured us. Coverage is innocent adding to of panic unnecessarily. Ifigured us. I think people come to the new channels to find out what is the latest news. How long they stay for us latest news. How long they stay for us to them, but it varies, person to person. But you come in, you are the news in steadily. It evidently, there will be repetition. But any minute, it could be an update on your information. Insta ntly. Update on your information. Instantly. We tried to show that every bit of that information was joke really and without ventilation. And i think we achieve our world. Thank you, gavin. We will talk about our next issue. At was not the only controversy that bbc News Coverage this week. Martin mcguinness, who died this week, was a former higher rate leader who played a significant role in the Northern Irish peace process. But for hundreds of viewers, the bbc focus too much on the latter part of his life and not enough on the former. 0ne the latter part of his life and not enough on the former. One of them called kim left us this message. figured as unbelievable what bbc have done, lining up people with prayers for a butcher. An applet which are of a person. Other viewers also objected to the tone and skill of the coverage, including des murphy, who sent us this e mail. And gavin allen is still within the studio. Lets talk about this. The main judges studio. Lets talk about this. The mainjudges at the studio. Lets talk about this. The main judges at the bbc glossed over his very serious passes a senior ira commander and that was unacceptable if you are tried to be balanced. Commander and that was unacceptable if you are tried to be balancedm would have lived in a neck at all if we had glossed over that core part of Martin Mcguinnesss life, but we did not. It was clear in interviews that we did, and the packages we ram, and the bulletins, that we are dealing with somebody who yes, any second part of his life, was a senior politician and a peace negotiator, but in the early half was involved with the ira and was responsible, indirectly or directly, responsible, indirectly or directly, responsible for some deaths. We have hundreds of complaints that his terrace passes not given enough attention. And most of those interviews were paying respect to the peace process. Im not sure about what youre talking about. The peace process. Im not sure about what youre talking aboutm terms of who was being interviewed on what they had to say. terms of who was being interviewed on what they had to say. I can think of many examples on every programme that we ran in which we had voices of relatives of victims, people such as norman tebbit, who were absolutely clear in their utter condemnation and loading of someone they described as a coward, and that they described as a coward, and that the world is a sweeter place without him. We understood that there was a com plete him. We understood that there was a complete hatred for Martin Mcguinness by some, and reverence for him by others. We needed to make sure that this was a very complete person who is hated on one side and loved on the other. We had to convey that that was what he was. Reverence is an interesting issue here, because when it comes to an obituary cover the bbc can have a tendency to not want to cause offence. cover the bbc can have a tendency to not want to cause offence. I dont think it is a fear of causing offence. I think it is notjust the bbc. When submitters die, you tend to accentuate the positive. I dont think we did in this case. Which are to accentuate the positive. I dont think we did in this case. Which are to be as ballast and impartial letter ca n to be as ballast and impartial letter can be. But impressible, piggott is incredibly important that you convey a persons life, notjust a sensitivity towards relatives and the is. As a set, we had hundreds of them plays by many people who are very angry. They said the bbc did not get enough attention to Martin Mcguinness terrorist past. What you said that . One of the images that says eve n said that . One of the images that says even me from this week about Martin Mcguinness was about the former first minister, arlene foster, go to that funeral, yesterday, as a member of the credit unionist party, at the funeral of a former ira commander. That is a pretty extraordinary juxtaposition of somebody who should be a sworn enemy, that recognises this is quite compact. I dont underplay at all the fact that, as said, people hated this man, but i think it is thejob at the bbc to try and represent the totality of someone, and the views across that person. Gavin allen, they you forjoining us. Thank you for all your comments this week. Please share your opinions on bbc news by calling us or e mailing us. Thank you for all your comment is weak. Thank you forjoining us. That is all from us. Well we back to his ill thought about bbc News Coverage. to his ill thought about bbc News Coverage. We will be back to hear what you thought. Hello. There will be some chilly nights this weekend. There will be frost for some of us as the weekend begins, but by day, this weekend, it is sun, sun, sun. What a glorious weekend if youre a fan of blue skies. High pressure right across the uk. The Weather Ingredients this weekend, because of high pressure, as you might imagine, its going to be settled. There will be some warm spring sunshine around, but for some others there will be a noticeable breeze. We will need to shelter from that to enjoy the warm sunshine. Some chilly nights with frost around. Looking at the temperatures as the weekend begins, these are the urban readings, but away from the towns and cities in the countryside we will see those lower readings on the thermometer. In parts of northern england, Northern Ireland and scotland well see frost. Many of us will have widespread frost on ground and grass. A few patches of fog in parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, the midlands and parts of wales. That shouldnt last too long into the morning. An exception to the settled weather will be in the northern isles. More cloud around on saturday, especially in the shetlands. Outbreaks of rain at times, mostly on the light side. As day breaks you can see the extent of the sunshine to begin with, but hints of either mist fog patches, or low cloud, to begin with, through parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, the midlands and into wales. It should not last too long. By mid morning that should be gone. Look at the strength of the wind in east anglia, South East England and along the south coast. If anything that may be a notch up compared to what we had on friday. Quite a windy picture for some of us. You will need to shelter from the easterly wind to get the best of the warmth from the sunshine. The blue sky continues for the majority of the afternoon. That warmth will be felt, especially where the wind is right down the western side of the uk, 15 or 16 celsius. Saturday, a fine evening, but a chilly night. A touch of frost, especially in the north. Remember, on Saturday Night the clocks go forward an hour, the beginning of british summer time. Nothing to do with the weather, though it sounds good. Great for night workers, and great if you want your light longer into the evening. Here are the sunset times on sunday. There will be some sunshine around again on sunday for the vast majority. Maybe just a bit of cloud to some Eastern Parts of the uk later in the day. Still that breeze to the south and still sheltering from that to make the most of the sunshine. For the vast majority, the weekend will have a blue sky note. Whatever you are doing this weekend, enjoy that, and enjoy your weekend.
