service and the promotion given to it angered... they are reporting almost wall—to—wall the availability of an exam cheating service on the 6pm news. they keep mentioning and naming the commercial organisation. this surely has to be free advertising for this cheating company. they could even dream about receiving this. for the bbc to be reporting it and publishing their name frequently over and over again is completely and utterly undecidable. and utterly unnacce ptable. on wednesday, health secretary jeremy hunt announced an independent review into how 450,000 women in england failed to receive invitations for a final routine breast cancer screening. the minister was broadcasting his statement to the house of commons live as the clock ticked towards the news at 1pm. were there any warnings written or otherwise that should've been heeded earlier? was the issue brought to ministers

at the appropriate time? that jeremy hunt announcing that news that around 40,000 women in england missed out on the final routine breast cancer screening between 2009 and 16. but some viewers were upset that the secretary was cut off in by bbc. one for user put it like this... and earlier in the week, and other health story call some controversy. caused some controversy. on tuesday, it was revealed that two and half thousand patients seen by neurologist in belfast were being recalled after a review of his work had raised concerns over their treatment. amber vardy reported on the biggest ever recall a patient ever recall of patients in northern ireland. patients with serious conditions

such as ms and parkinson's work were under doctor's care. now it is feared that some may have been misdiagnosed. one patient who received a letter this morning asked to speak anonymously. the patient‘s identity was concealed in the interview that followed but whereas we blurred out the name and address and other details on that shotjust shown, the news at 6pm failed to do so. that prompted an angry reaction from a number of the viewers, including sue dickson, who described herself as... we asked bbc news to respond to complaints, and they told us... please do let us know your thoughts on any of the subjects featured
7:52 pm
on this programme or indeed on any aspect of bbc news. there'll be details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. we had a query this week of kind we receive regularly, prompted by this interview on tuesday morning with international trade secretay liam fox, who was speaking down the line from westminster. the elected house passed the legislation for the referendum. we voted to leave the european union and the house of commons passed legislation to allow that to happen. it is not acceptable for an unelected house to try to block the democratic will of the british people. well, cameron bemoans
7:53 pm
that we said doctor fox that we said doctor fox was live in westminster. that backdrop behind showing houses of parliament and traffic crossing the bridge. well, the answer is that of the guests are there live, in some cases, the backdrop is prerecorded, as was the case on tuesday with elizabeth tower, currently rather unsightly because of scaffolding. question time on thursday came the issue of the cost of housing, with a provocatively phrased question from an audience member. here is david. it's been a welcome to come to question time. from teresa morris please.

one of the examples we raised a with the bc‘s head of broadcast operations was the spoken word brexit appearing on screen as wrexham. and so the very frequent use of brexit in error, it seems a computer software is still making the same mistake. she posted that screen grab of her forest this week. commenting wryly, brexit means wrexham. thank you for all your comments you sent us this week. if you love to share your opinions of bbc news or even appear in person on the programme, you can tell us at... you can find us on twitter at news watch bbc and do have a look at our website where you can watch previous discussions we've recorded. the address for that is... that's all from us. we will back to hear your thoughts bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. hello, we do not normally hold out
