When i came to the bbc, understanding the director general s real focus on impartiality, we did a really big piece of work asking audiences across the uk and around the world what they needed today to trust us, and they told us they wanted Fairness And Respect. And Fairness And Respect really come together to form Impartiality Fairness in reflecting the fullness of the political Conversation And Respect in showing that we are listening to them because they pay for us and the bbc is here for everyone. Eight in ten Uk Adults came to the bbc during the election period. They said, when asked, who would you choose for trusted, impartial coverage of this election . , four times more chose the bbc than any of our nearest other competitors. So i would say i really am incredibly proud of our output during the election, and i really feel that we stepped up to deliver on our democratic duty as a platform for Freedom Of Speech and to reflect the fullness of the political conversation that was happ
hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. should the bbc have broadcast in full the racist language this cricketer experienced? and after sunday s attack in liverpool, should the bbc have shown repeatedly the moment the bomber died in the blast? select committee sessions in parliament can be dry affairs, but the evidence given on tuesday by the former cricketer azeem rafiq to a group of mps was anything but. over the course of two hours of often emotional testimony, he related his experience of racism at yorkshire cricket club, including the offensive names he d been called. the latter were broadcast in full as the hearing was shown live on bbc television, prompting occasional interventions like this from the presenter in the studio. it s. it s pretty clear. it s there. some people are still pretty scared, and they are. apologies for the language there that you heard. we did warn that there would be some offensive language most likely to be heard in this live hea
chains with the b does not make sense that we are importing beef and soy into the uk, into wales and causing destruction of the world positive most precious for us when we have other ways of rearing our animals and consuming products. thank you very much for talking to us about that. if you days ago i talked to somebody on bbc news where they have a product to actually identify where it has come from to help in this battle against illegal deforestation. now on bbc news, it s time for newswatch. hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. should the bbc have broadcast in full the racist language this cricketer experienced? and after sunday s attack in liverpool, should the bbc have shown repeatedly the moment the bomber died in the blast? select committee sessions in parliament can be dry affairs, but the evidence given on tuesday by the former cricketer azeem rafiq to a group of mps was anything but. over the course of two hours of often emotional testimony, he re
home from a night out in oxford injuly 2021. well, our correspondent duncan kennedy is at oxford crown court for us this afternoon. now, scarlet blake thought she got away with it. it was only two years later that her former partner living in the united states called british police to say that scarlet blake had confessed to the killing, and she was arrested. the trial revealed some horrific details about this fatal attack and about the murderer which we ll spare you. but what upset and angered some viewers were references like those we ve just heard to she and her . scarlett blake is a transgender woman a fact that didn t feature in that 1pm news bulletin, or in several of the articles on the bbc s website during the trial. marianne mcnulty was among those who got in touch with us after watching the programme. i was really shocked at the way this story was framed, and the language that was used, given that self id is not law, and therefore, you know, such inaccurate an
