of the death of our monarch after 70 years reign. i think it has reflected the emotional reaction that there s been amongst many people. but it s also, i think, been able to capture how britain has been on display in such a way where we ve showed the best of all of us, really, and what we ve been able to do is demonstrate that this is a modern country which is still a great country and is proud and is not shy in putting front and centre all that we stand for. so, ithink. you know, i understand and would be able to appreciate that, for some people, sometimes there s probably been more than they wanted not everybody would ve wanted to watch it all day, every day. even the most ardent of monarchists need to have a bit of variety in their diet. but no, i think it s been good. marcus ryder, it has been the story, certainly in the way it s been told, of a nation united in grief. is it that simple, do you think? thank you so much for inviting me on. unfortunately, i don t think t
most of the showers have been across england and wales. this evening and overnight we will see those showers decaying. skies were clear across many parts of the country. it gets windy in northern ireland, and in scotland. temperatures are similar to today. that s rain by monday morning is in the english channel, sweeping through quickly. followed by sunshine and showers, mainly in the north and east. a much stronger northerly winds on monday. hello. this is bbc news. i m annita mcveigh and these are the headlines. the chancellor defends his tax cuts aimed at boosting economic growth, saying they re fair for all, but kwasi kwarteng s mini budget is receiving a mixed reaction from the public. i think its probably will help, but it depends what brackets you are in, in terms of income. this it depends what brackets you are in, in terms of income. in terms of income. this feels like it does not in terms of income. this feels like it does not even in terms of income. this feel
now on bbc news, it s time for the media show. hello. the queen s funeral was the combination of days of coverage cummination of days of coverage across the british media. the new culture secretary called the bbc s efforts phenomenal and spot on . so, did the media get the tone right? were a range of views about the monarchy represented? and amid the pageantry and commentary, was there room forjournalism? i m joined by marcus ryder, who s head of external consultancies in the lenny henry centre for media diversity, baroness stowell, who s conservative chair of the house of lords communication and digital select committee, lord vaizey, a former culture secretary who was in the david cameron government at the time of the 2012 olympics, emily bell, professor of professional practice at the columbia university and graduate school ofjournalism, and stefanie bolzen is the uk correspondent of germany s die welt newspaper. welcome to you all, thank you so much for coming on the me
that is what it was and the coverage, the extent of it and the positive nature of that coverage was, for me, i think appropriate for the significance of the moment. but that doesn t mean, as ed has already said, that there isn t an opportunity, or shouldn t be an opportunity in the future for debate about the future of the monarchy or indeed, if there is any event or any occasion where members of the royal family conduct themselves in a way that should be subject to scrutiny, comment and criticism, for sure. butjust not over the last ten days. ed, you were nodding. i would like to talk specifically about the bbc. it has come out already of course, because it pulled out the stops in its coverage and was responsible certainly forfilming and sharing the funeral with the other media. it had more than 200 cameras dedicated to the funeral alone. ed, could ijust ask you whether yes, it was stunning, of course it was,
what is he going to be? marcus, what message do you think the last ten days, what has it sent out to the world? unlike tina and ed, i m not a politician, so i really don t think i m qualified to answer that question. what i can say is that my concern is that the young people in wales, 80% don t want continuation of the monarchy. what is their relationship with the bbc? the communities who don t support the monarchy, what is their relationship after those ten days? it s not a republican argument, monarchist argument, i keep on having to reiterate, it s more just how do we ensure that our national media continues to have links with the diverse range of opinions and communities in the uk? tina, as a politician, what message do you think the past ten days send out to the world about britain? i think they send out a really positive message to the world. i think we put on display, as i said at the start, the best of us, really.
