hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. was bbc news more interested in forcing home secretary amber rudd out of herjob than justice? and why did the name and address of this woman who asked to be kept anonymous appear on screen? justice for the windrush generation. first on 4000 council it thursday, seats were contested in 150 local authorities across england. on friday, we gave analysis. traditionally, governments get a ticking at local elections, but this time around i has not happened. the tories have been in government for eight years. with austerity throughout that time. despite the recent windrush scandal, labour has only made a small steps.

it will mean relief for the tories and perhaps leave labour a little puzzled. well hazel watched some of the programme and building up to those elections, including wednesday's newsnight and had this comment to make. i am watching newsnight‘s report on tomorrow's so called it seems local government elections. not one issue mentioned has anything to do with local governments apart from and not at the end to dustbins. by treating all elections as party political statistics, you are adding to the confusion that is politics today. david was viewing thursday night's coverage of election results when he took time out to e—mail us on a similar lines. please, you should not present these local elections as if they were somehow midterm american elections. they are not. for me, they are to do with local issues as they should be and not particularly indicative of a national issue. i would have voted entirely differently had it been a general election, as i suspect many millions of people would have. yours, in despair.

and in the early hours of friday morning, william shepherd had a different point to make. come on, bbc, you are already covering it wall—to—wall on bbc one, why is over half the transmission on the 24—hour channel also required to cover local council election results in england? the polls have closed. nothing is really going to change the results until mid or late morning. so aren't you being a bit excessive orjust lazy in limiting coverage of everything else but probably more important to have more reflection and analysis during daylight after the results are all in. it had already been a busy week for westminster—based journalists after the frenzied speculation over the future of the then home secretary amber rudd culminated on sunday evening with her resignation. as news at 10pm went on air, one of its headlines was this. ministers rally behind amber rudd with the conservative party chairman saying she did not know about specific targets for removing illegal immigrants.

but less than five minutes later, it was time for a hasty update from clive murray. now in the last few minutes while we have been on air, it has been announced that amber rudd has resigned. theresa may has accepted the resignation of the home secretary. again, there were objections from newswatch viewers in the way that amber rudd's departure was reported before it was announced. david and christina wilkins felt the media are using the windows situation and his victims as a weapon against government. system isn't saturated with it, is longer about the wind rushed generation, it is about undermining amber rudd and putting unnecessary pressure on her by going over the same ground of time and again the media are out there to inform us, not love the story. and david hopper told us... congratulations in ousting another victim. now, is all publicity good publicity?

that was the fear of some members of the audience watching tuesday's exclusive lead report on the news at 6pm about the promotion of essay writing services by youtube stars, which enable students to cheat. our investigation has uncovered the youtube stars selling cheating, paid by a company in ukraine promoting a service to students that could land them in serious trouble. targeting teenagers using people they trust. the report went on to feature in particular one so—called professional essay writing 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.

the bbc to be reporting it and publishing their name frequently over and over again is completely 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? what are the broader lessons for screening it systems? that was 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. 0ne user put it like this...

once again, this time onjeremy‘s statement on breast screening, only part of an important poetry statement is broadcast live and important elements ignored. why? and earlier in the week, and other health story 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. emma vardy reported on the biggest ever recall of patients in northern ireland. patients with serious conditions such as ms and parkinson's were under dr watts‘ 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 shot just 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... appalled when watching bbc news report about the irish consultant. the patient agreed to speak anonymously. what do you do? show her reading her letter with the name and address could be visible. 0utrageous breach of trust of a lady interview. sloppy reporting standards. we asked bbc news to respond to complaints, and they told us... as soon as we realised the error, we immediately took the step of amending the report for subsequent broadcasts. we spoke to the case study and their family, who is that our apology and told us they were happy with the action taken. please do let us know your thoughts on any of the subjects featured 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. the public voted in the referendum. they 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 that we said doctor fox was live in westminster. that backdrop behind showing houses of parliament and traffic crossing the bridge. what's perplexing was the fact that i could really save the lives of the tower and a bit thin. —— clearly see the tower and big ben. if the image was live, surely it should have been covered with scaffolding. we reserve also confident of the past to ask why the backdrop

to interviews that of a line from bbc newsroom features the same footage again and again? and if that's the case, what they are being described as alive. —— live. 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 took on the issue of the cost of housing, with a provocatively phrased question from an audience member. here is david. extremely welcome to come to question time. we are looking for lively and is of the audience. i'm going to go onto a would affect a lot of people here from teresa morris please. is homeownership within the reach of younger people if they didn't drink coffees and eat avocado toast? yes, that's a good quote. not everyone agreed it was a good quote. many viewers complained about younger people being slurred with unfair stereotypes. in fact, jamie batch posted this tweet... what an absolutely ridiculous question to allow the public

forum by question time. who the hell he's avocado toast? i'm struggling to hold back expletives. while greg jenner also objected to the with this response... finally, what's the connection between town in north wales and the uk's departure from the european union. the answer is to be found in the bc‘s live subtitling service, which we've discussed before, sometimes has problems with the words spoken on television. 0ccasionally to the comic degree. one of the examples we raised 18 months ago where the bbc‘s head of broadcast operations was the spoken word brexit appearing on screen as wrexham. and despite the very frequent use of brexit in error, it seems a computer software is still making the same mistake. that screen grab was posted.

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 there, good morning. don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed — that's normally what most people say about the bank holiday weekend weather. this weekend, though, could be very different. we saw a fair bit of sunshine around on friday, notjust in york but far and wide, and there will be more to come this weekend. apart from the far north—west of scotland at times seeing some

rain, it should be dry and getting warmer and warmer as well. not surprisingly, high pressure is in charge of our weather. we are drawing in warmth from the near continent. as that builds, keeping these weather fronts just almost at bay, occasionally brushing the far north—west of scotland, the outer isles as well. some patchy cloud across scotland, northern ireland and into england and wales but there will be some sunny spells, too. and if anything, temperatures probably a bit higher than they were on friday, so getting up to 20 degrees in north—eastern scotland and low 20s in the south—east of england. there's that rain in the far north—west of scotland. it runs away towards the northern isles then peters out. still could be quite misty across the irish sea here. it could lap up onto some of those coasts once again again but generally clear skies. a bit chilly in east anglia, the south—east of england, generally eight or nine degrees and soon warming up in the sunshine on sunday. again, some stronger winds in the north—west of scotland probably tending to push that rain away once again. some more sunshine for scotland, northern ireland. increasing amounts of sunshine for england and wales. some mistiness through the irish sea that could be heading up towards the north channel.

temperatures continuing to rise, getting into the low, perhaps even mid 20s at best. and more sunshine to come on monday, too. again, some stronger winds in the far north—west. a few spots of rain not far away. but generally, a lovely day. not quite as warm in the north—east of scotland and in the north—east of england on monday but inland elsewhere, temperatures at least around 20—23 degrees or so. and we could get 27 to the north—west of london on bank holiday monday — that would make it the hottest early bank holiday monday on record. now, things will start to change after monday. high pressure that has been drawing in this atlantic influence retreats to scandinavia. things start to turn in from the atlantic with pressure falling. we get weaker weather fronts approaching into western parts of the uk. but further east, it will still be dry on tuesday. there will be sunshine and still

very warm across the midlands and eastern parts of england. those temperatures into the mid 20s or so. cooling off a little further north and further west. and with the atlantic winds pushing in across the uk, there won't be much rain, apart from in the north—west of the uk. temperatures will be on the slide. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america on pbs and around the world. my name is nkem ifejika. our top stories: several strong earthquakes shake parts of hawaii after a volcanic eruption. hundreds are forced to leave their homes. president trump rallies his base at a meeting of the national rifle association — and makes this vow. your second amendment rights are under siege. but they will never ever be under siege as long as i'm your president. cheering chemical weapons inspectors say

they've finished gathering samples at the site of an alleged chlorine attack in syria. and, ready for launch — the first nasa mission that will probe beneath the surface of mars prepares for lift—off.
