facing a far lower ranked team. this was a chance to see a different england line up. katie robinson making her debut in front of a 32,000 strong crowd, and she made an early international impact. a perfect ball in to set up england s first. defender rachel daly enjoying a spell up front. but then controversy. the ball looked to have gone out before italy crossed. then dismay as the ball clearly did bounce over the goal line. oh, the goal is given! but no var, no whistle and italy had equalised. that looks really close indeed. england s response was quick, daly and the perfect position once more. another victory for manager sarina wiegman. and with the world cup this summer, a positioning headache from the player of the match. jane dougal, bbc news. england are through to the semi finals of the t20 world cup after the west indies secured a dramatic final over win against pakistan. the windies total of 116 was built upon their three top three batters. they contributed 72 run
a father lost. we mentioned last week that there have been plaudits for the bbc teams on the ground, but some viewers had reservations about the coverage. two of them recorded their thoughts for us on camera. first, john carberry reacting to that last clip we saw, and then clive kelly. during the filming of the results of the turkish earthquake on the early evening news of 8 february, a man discovered the remains of his of his whole family crushed into the rubble. the camera closed in on him and continued to film. this was a prolonged and disgraceful intrusion on private misery, and whoever sanctioned it should be ashamed of themselves. we don t need to be so close to what s happening on the ground to know how bad it is. so please, please, bbc, can you act with some dignity? notjoin the race, as some news companies are trying to do, which is to be as closest to the diggers, as closest to the bodies, as closest to the rubble as possible. but give some space, give some dignity.
well, let s talk to richard burgess, who s the director of news content for bbc news. richard, can you see why some viewers feel that the coverage has been intrusive? i think some of the coverage has been really difficult to watch. and, you know, of course, it s really important that we respect the dignity and the privacy of those involved. but at the same time, it s really important that our reporters faithfully show what they are witnessing on the ground. and it s worth saying that, you know, people on the ground have been really grateful to our teams for bringing news of this appalling tragedy to to a wider audience. to a wider audience. can we talk about a specific example, which is the father who has just found out that his whole family have been killed 7 that moment when people first receive news of death, many viewers felt could be seen as voyeuristic. well, we think really hard about all the sequences we show. and obviously, you know, when you re watching a television
about the welfare ofjournalists, too, seeing some of this traumatic stuff, but then thinking about local people. there was the amazing story on the first day of that taxi driver who helped a reporter film her report. what support are you giving to turkish people who are working with the bbc as well as your own teams? well, we have systems that are designed over many years for how we support our staff and those local staff that work with us. i think that was anna foster, who was one of the firstjournalists to get to the epicentre of the earthquake. and she did that alone with her taxi driver. and i think, you know, as she said, he was part of our team and we treat them absolutely as such. richard burgess, thank you. thank you. the big political news of the week was the surprise announcement by nicola sturgeon that she would be standing down from her post as first
have been laura bicker, who i also heard the following day explaining how, despite her continuing to talk really quietly, she was not interfering with any of the rescue efforts. and, of course, we would, you know, that would be our absolute priority, that we would not want to jeopardise anybody s safety or, of course, jeopardise any of the potential rescue efforts. one of the other questions viewers will have after a terrible disaster like this is how long the bbc chooses to stay in the region, and stay on this story. i think it s really important that we continue to stay on the story. we absolutely are committed to doing that. you know, there is a humanitarian crisis following these earthquakes. we need to continue to tell those stories. we need to continue to bring that story to as wide a possible audience. there ll obviously be concern about the welfare ofjournalists, too, seeing some of this traumatic stuff but then thinking about local people. there was the amazing story on the
