the violence in sudan. thousands of british nationals are still trapped and demanding help. as more people are flown to safety by some eu states, british citizens describe the terror they face in a conflict between the military factions. eve fairbanks was one of a number of viewers concerned about the emphasis put on getting british nationals out of the country, calling bbc news. and grace dalton left us a phone message on monday with her thoughts. i ve been really frustrated throughout today, but was on the verge of tears watching the evening news at 10:00pm. as there was coverage regarding the situation in sudan and how awful it was for the british people who are stuck there. and yet there was no regard given for the sudanese civilians who are stuck there. obviously, i m really hoping that those who are british can be evacuated as soon as possible. but why was nothing said about the sudanese people who are caught up in this horrific situation? we put that point to bbc news
well, i was familiar with it and i suppose with new changes there s always going to be a problem. but i don t like the way that the new app delivers the news. for me, it doesn t work and as a result, it s no longer my first news source. james cox was watching that and got straight in touch with us writing. susan way vauthier added. well, we promised you a fortnight ago that we would try and get someone from the bbc to respond to the feedback you ve given. so let s discuss that news app upgrade and other matters with naja nielsen, who s the digital directorfor bbc news. thank you so much for coming on newswatch. you ll know there have been lots of complaints about the new news app and many people are saying it s actually harder to navigate around the app. you used to be able to select what you wanted from tabs along the top. now you have to kind of scroll up and down a lot. why have you made it harder to find the stories people want? so that s an interesting point because you
all, he is his watch. hello. welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. viewers say they want policy information, not personal insults. but has the bbc‘s general election coverage already got mired in mudslinging mostly against jeremy corbyn? and criticisms too about how both french presidential candidates have been described on air. although the general election campaign still hasn t officially started, there was no doubt this week about where the focus of politicians and broadcasters lay. all the party leaders were out on the stump and facing questions on a wide variety of subjects. after some pressure on the issue, tim farron of the liberal democrats told the bbc‘s eleanor garnier that he did not believe gay sex was a sin. i was asked the question early on and i didn t want to get into a series of questions, unpicking the theology of the bible. isn t itjust that it s your christian belief and you didn t want to admit it? no, that s not the case. what i want is to
over the last few years, billions of e mail accounts have been hacked. has yours? last year, yahoo announced that over 1.5 billion e mail accounts were compromised between 2013 and 2014, the largest breach in history. then it emerged that russian hackers had gained access to 60,000 e mails from hillary clinton s presidential campaign. some believe the resulting leaks helped swing the election for trump. and what it certainly did reveal is something most of us already knew. we send, each of us, all the time, hugely personal information around the internet. information that we d like to keep private, but others are all too often able to see. so how about something that guarantees to protect all of those e mails? sounds like something you wanna have, doesn t it? well, this is nomx, a box which promises to secure your e mails 100%. it was at ces that we came across this device as it was introduced to the world and it caught our eye. i met the boss, will donaldson, who has impress
that is not at all relevant to the current election campaign. his views on homosexuality have clearly not impacted his policies. he is absolutely not in favour of any person of any orientation, sexually, being discriminated against. so he should not be pressurised into saying something that conflicts with his personal beliefs. but most of our correspondence this week has been about the treatment of the labour leader, jeremy corbyn. last friday, deputy political editor john pienaar was on his tail. he stood by what is called the triple lock pensions up every year by inflation, or average earnings, or 2.5%. can labour afford this, along with other promises? he hopes he can win this argument. sorry, i m not quite sure where i m going. the use of that comment from jeremy corbyn was picked up by some viewers who considered it an example of an insidious tendency to snipe at the labour leader. one anonymous caller left us this telephone message. you make it a cheap shot on corbyn,
