on tuesday night, it wasn't a question of tennis featuring in the news as, instead of the news, specifically some local news bulletins, as it came up to six o'clock, the british number one woman johanna konta was battling it out on centre court in her quarterfinal. and it was decided to keep showing that match on bbc one instead of the scheduled news at six. and on bbc two they had abandoned their planned wimbledon coverage for unscheduled repeats, as rain meant no other matches were being played. confused? john wilson did not understand the logic. another viewer pat brown was also annoyed by this and recorded this video to explain why.

hello. we have been subscribers of the radio times for many years, but when it comes to wimbledon, the scheduling might as well go out of the window. a prime example of this was on tuesday, when at six o'clock, the news was turned over onto bbc two — can't wimbledon fans flick the channel? perhaps not. and no london news at all that night. why was that? not very good, bbc. the london news was in fact shown that evening, later than scheduled. but in other parts of the uk, such as scotland and northern ireland, the early evening regional bulletin was dropped altogether. we hoped to discuss the reasoning behind this with someone from bbc television, but no one was available. instead, they gave us this statement. it has been a month since the fire

at grenfell tower in london in which at least 80 people died. and on wednesday morning, our reporter reported on the impact the disaster has had on the local community, especially children. all the children here have witnessed unimaginable horror. we asked for a show of hands of those who knew someone who had died. having watched that, jan had this to say: justin also contacted us with more general thoughts on coverage

of the grenfell tower, one month on. and graham satchell‘s report on the aftermath of the tragedy came on the news at ten — it began like this. a black nail, hammered into london's conscience. grenfell tower demands your attention. in its shadow, the faces of the missing are everywhere.

on trees and walls and bus shelters, unblinking, it is hard to hold their accusatory gaze. several wrote in about this. adrian made the same point on camera. come on, bbc, this is a serious news item, why did we have to have dramatic build—up music, more akin to a drama like silent witness or a hollywood movie? this is the bbc and not fox news.

this was unnecessary, trivialising a serious news item. on wednesday, mps debated the abuse and intimidation of parliamentary candidates after a cross—party report said misogyny, racism and bigotry was on the rise. politicians like diane abbott and stella creasy had described the repeated online abuse they have been subjected to, and theresa may has now ordered an inquiry into the subject. william mcnulty gave us his thoughts after considering the interviews with theresa may and andrea leadsom. if you look at the way the prime minister is addressed orjeremy corbyn is addressed, certainly by members of newsnight and the media in general, think the aggressive tones that are used against politicians... and this unfortunately translates to members of the public. and i think the media, certainly the bbc, and they are not alone in it — they have contributed to the levels

of abuse that politicians have to put up with today. on wednesday's daily politics, the labour mpjack dromey came to discuss the scale of personal abuse directed at politicians. i think it has been getting worse for some years. i personally don't get that much bleep, if you will excuse the language. it comes overwhelmingly from the right, but it doesn't matter where it comes from, it is not acceptable and anyone who practices that is completely wrong. when we're talking about abuse, it would be best if we did not use abusive language on daytime television. i feel very strongly about it. sometimes it's appropriate. the daily politics team were not able to bleep out the term as we have done and that led to this response.

i don't want to sit and hear people coming out with disgusting language like that, i'm amazed you allow people like that to come on the television and speak like that. when there are little children around. another political interview caused more controversy this week, one conducted on thursday by emma barnett for radio five. she asked the prime minister how she reacted on election night when she saw the exit poll. did you have a cry, how did you feel? i felt devastated, really. devastated enough to shed a tear? yes, a little tear. at that moment? at that moment, yes. that admission was headlined on television news bulletins throughout the day. it is worth bearing in mind that interviews like this are arranged between the prime minister's office

and a programme, and maybe the line of questioning is anticipated. but some viewers felt the prominence given to it and the line of questioning played into gender stereotypes. finally, back to tennis, and the defeats of britain's great hopes andy murray and johanna konta. these are the headlines from the news at six on wednesday and thursday. commentator: game, set and match!

and andy murray crashes out of the quarterfinals at wimbledon and finally admits he was injured. and the end of a dream for britain's johanna konta as she crashes out of the wimbledon semifinals. sarah wondered: thank you for your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions on bbc mews and current affairs and even appear on the programme, you can call us or e—mail newswatch. you can find us on twitter and have a look at our website. that is all from us. we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week.

goodbye. hello there. some decent, dry, and also for some sunny weather around this weekend. but there will be a lot of cloud around at times, threatening some rain, particularly on saturday. and throughout saturday, the air gets warmer and more muggy. it is because of this warm front pushing its way eastwards, dragging in the air from the mid—atla ntic. but it is those weather fronts which through the night have been producing rain, and to start the day, a bit of a damp start in western scotland, northern england, wales, and also parts of the midlands. the first batch is fairly rapidly spreading its way south and eastwards. not much rain at all across south—eastern areas, but the rain is there across western scotland. we could see as much as 20 to a0 millimetres of rain on the hills in the west, so not a great one here.

some rain at times, some dry moments, and something drier every now and then to the east of scotland, so far from a washout. it stays fairly cloudy in northern england, midlands and wales, patchy light rain and drizzle. but across england and wales, i think it is during the morning we are best favoured for some wetter conditions. the rain tends to ease off into the north sea. one or two showers here and there in the afternoon, but temperatures climbing as we go, up to around 22 or 23. it does mean there could be some rain in the middle part of the day at wimbledon. the same on sunday, the best of the dry weather in the morning. to get us through into sunday, the rain will work its way southwards. by the end of the night, probably across parts of northern england and wales, and it offers a bit of a split in conditions into the start of sunday. a fresh start, especially away from city centres. to the north, a fairly muggy, misty, and for some damp start across england and wales. this is the weather front, then, which is the dividing line between the muggiest of the air and something a bit fresher. but it does mean scotland, northern ireland and northern

england actually have a bit of sun on the way. lots of sunshine elsewhere, brightening up for north wales and the north midlands, staying fairly cloudy optimistic skies will brighten half of the day. but it'll be one close call, we will have to keep on watching things. but certainly, into the start of next week, that ridge of high pressure building. lots of you will be dry. note the temperatures in the south, holding onto mid—20s, and by wednesday, humid across the board. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is duncan golestani. our top stories: a new witness to donald trump junior‘s meeting with a russian lawyer comes forward — a former soviet intelligence officer. a year after the nice terror attack,
