prompts tears from a bereaved father and anger from viewers. what did prompts tears from a bereaved father and angerfrom viewers. what did he ask and why? and is bbc news going overboard in reporting allegations of sexual harassment? we discussed on last week's programme viewers' concerns that bbc news is making too much of reporting on this winter's difficulties in the nhs. it is no surprise the attention of some of you was drawn to the monday evening bulletins which led with a long and powerful piece about the challenges being faced at the university hospital of north tees and its staff and patients. he is 83. she is struggling to breathe. they are marvellous these two men. they have never left me. i

am in agony. it is awful. we don't like it, nobody likes patients to be in the corridor, but i physically have no room to put this lady in. sandra smith felt the top of the news programme was not the right place for reporting of that kind. she recorded this video to explain why. we all know the nhs is struggling and we all understand that sometimes these things have to be reported, but to go on for nearly 15 minutes on a news programme is not right. there are programmes such as panorama for this sort of investigative journalism. as panorama for this sort of investigativejournalism. there as panorama for this sort of investigative journalism. there are lots of other things going on in the world, not just the lots of other things going on in the world, notjust the nhs. jerry etheridge agreed with those sentiments and took exception to the tone of the coverage. nearly 50% of

the day's news at six is covering problems in the nhs. clearly this should be reported, but can we have more succinct coverage. jonathan bush called it the shameful report. john weaver put the opposite point of view. in politics are plenty of attention was given to ukip over last weekend. its leader henry bolton has been under pressure since news broke of his relationship with an ex—model and the racist messages she had sent. alex forsyth reported on the story for the news that one on monday. despite growing pressure, he

says he is not going anywhere. henry bolton is insisting he wants to keep leading ukip, even though the pa rty‘s leading ukip, even though the party's ruling body says he should quit and now a string of senior members have resigned because he will not go. sheila grant was watching that and wondered, why on earth is ukip the lead story on the news that one reporting live from westminster? this party has no mps and following the referendum no longer has any relevance in this country as can be seen by the haemorrhaging of their support and co nsta ntly leaving haemorrhaging of their support and constantly leaving leaders. by by the end of the week much of the media's focus had switched to

switzerland where many of the well‘s business leaders and heads of state we re business leaders and heads of state were meeting at the world economic forum in davos. the bbc were there in force, but some felt that coverage concentrated too much on the global elite and not enough on the global elite and not enough on the economic realities of people's lives. on thursday bbc news reported on the sharp rise in serious, violent crimes recorded by police in england and wales. hugh is tom symons on the bbc news at six. behind the statistics, wasted lives. a decade after this boy tried out the bike he had been given as a present, he

became one of four young men stabbed in london new year's you, leaving his father confronted with a nightmare. you saw his body? yes. what is it like for a father to see their son dead in front of them?m was just painful. their son dead in front of them?m wasjust painful. a number of viewers took exception to the question and recorded this video. viewers took exception to the question and recorded this videolj could not believe my ears on thursday night when i was listening to the six o'clock news and your reporter talking to that poor gentleman who had just lost his son after a bout of street violence. the reporter said, what does it feel like to see your son lying dead on the floor in front of you. how insensitive and disrespectful. i thought the bbc were better than this. ijust could not believe what i was hearing. we put that point to

bbc news and a spokesperson told us: let us know your thoughts on any of theissues let us know your thoughts on any of the issues we are covering or on any other aspect of bbc news. there will be details of how to contact us before the end of the programme. before that, some more of your comments. on wednesday it was this top story that caught the attention of some of you. all the president's club men appear to be enjoying themselves at their charity dinner, the women working there much less so. claims they were

groped at the men only event for those in business and politics. women working as table host testers we re women working as table host testers were made to where revealing outfits, their phones confiscated. it was filmed by an undercover financial times journalist, but some viewers but the bbc was making too much of it. and this telephone caller felt that

bbc news was not telling the whole of the story. a lot of the girls said they were not harassed at all. shouldn't the bbc be finding out both sides of the story? another viewers thought the prominence that went on at the dinner detracted from more important news. i wanted to express my surprised that you did not bother to include anything at all about the save the children fund offices being bombed in afghanistan on the six o'clock news, although you chose to devote o'clock news, although you chose to d evote loa ds o'clock news, although you chose to devote loads and loads of time to a bunch of elderly, wealthy perverts in the dorchester hotel. really, you

have got your priorities completely wrong in my opinion. as well as leading on that charity dinner, wednesday evening bulletins featured reports on the sentencing of the former us gymnastics team doctor abusing athletes. also allegations by nuns at a care home in lanarkshire, also sexist remarks made on twitter by the new england women's football team phil neville, also stories about the rapistjohn warboys. all different stories, but: the court appearance of the doctor and the summing up of thejudge in the case had already been broadcast live for more than half an hour on the news channel, prompting this reaction. i was watching the news on wednesday when coverage of the trial came on and on and on. after ten

minutes listing to the judge's tedious summing up i switched off. however, this left me wondering why this man, not exactly a household name in this country, was warranted such extended coverage in the first place. surely a post trial and post sentencing report would have been quite sufficient? finally, british tennis has a new hero, kyle edmonds, who this week reached the semifinal of the australian open. as he through the tournament we progressed through the tournament we heard more about him with bbc news tracking down his boyhood coach on tuesday. it was all a little too detailed as someone describing himself as confused on twitter. i am disappointed with coverage of kyle edmonds, they did not even interview his dog. you can telephone us, you can find

us on you can telephone us, you can find us on twitter or you can 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. cloudy, mild and quite windy weather to come this weekend. not much rain in the far north—west, but later on tonight it will turn wetter as the wind picks up. further east we will have clearer skies for a while. not far away from freezing in a few places. those temperatures left later in the night as the wind begins to freshen. wet and windy

weather sweeps its weight eastwards through the morning. through the afternoon it becomes light and patchy. some sunshine in scotland and northern ireland. it will be windy through the day, and despite the cloud the temperatures will not be much higher than they were today. overnight some windy weather in the far north of scotland. patchy rain in scotland, but many other areas will be clear and breezy. this is bbc news. the headlines: it's america first for trade — donald trump tells global finance leaders — that the us is still open for business. canadian company bombardier has won it's legal dispute with the us government, which was threatening to put punative tariffs on its aircraft parts. the brexit secretary sets out the uk's ambitions for a transition period, after britain leaves the european union. we must discus how regulators and agencies can best provide continuity and clarity for businesses during this period.

the release of black cab rapist john worboys from prison has been put on hold after victims won the first step in a legal challenge. also coming up, the company whose meat is off the menu. the food standards agency says it's recalled products from derby—based company russell hume because of hygiene issues.
