in other words another referendum. when do we want it! now! you might recognise faces here. but the vast majority were ordinary people. still deeply angry about brexit. of course pretty much everything about brexit is disputed and the priority bbc news gave to the march was no exception. michael ryan thought the extent of the coverage was not warranted, writing... but many more complaints came from the opposite perspective. from those who thought the demonstration should have been given greater prominence. and who objected to the inclusion later and chris mason foster report of this. the marjan monday wasn't the only brexit related event today though. here inherited in north yorkshire and much smaller gathering, but one of a series from ‘leave‘ campaign is. some people including

joe burns wondered... it is not unusual for us on newswatch to hear from those who have been on a rally or demonstration in who have been disappointed by the lack of coverage devoted to it by bbc news. another example came a couple weeks ago when protesters from the women against state pension and quality campaign,

known as waspi, blocked roads outside of the houses of ottoman and protested again in large numbers when the bbc failed to report the demonstration. one woman e—mailed... to discuss how bbc news assesses the news value of protest and demonstrations, i am joined by controller of bbc news channel. thank you for coming on. let's start with the peoples vote last weekend. the vote march. what made that one deserving of coverage? i think in the first instance it is sheer scale. 700,000 people, probably the largest march since the protest against the iraq war 16 years ago. something that is clearly noteworthy. the second is this is clearly the greatest issue facing the country at the moment, the future of the brexit negotiations and what kind of future relationship we're going to have with the european union. on both of those criteria, this was clearly going to be a major news story and one that would have a considerable amount of coverage that day.

so numbers, the turnout is significant in the bbc‘s assessment? one of the key factors but not the only one. it is fair to say that not all demonstrations are going to be covered as a network news story or a national news story. but on this occasion the national significance and the fact that this is still considerably one of the most debated matters in national discourse means inevitably it was going to be higher on news running orders that day. some viewers are wondering why did nigel farage‘s very small event in comparison inherited the coverage was so it was a way of getting extra context to what was not just the scale of the march but the argument the march was seeking to raise. those people who were marching that they were campaigning for a second fold or a third further referendum on the final brexit bill. there are many people would disagree that such a vote is necessary. and chris mason's report in a clip of six seconds duration we gave voice to that by simply saying through nigel farage‘s words there are those that think such a further referendum is not needed. that does not mean to say that the two events were given

editorial equivalents by any means. clearly the vote in london was far larger than what happened in harrogate. interesting you use the word equivalents. to those viewers who complain, they thought it looked like the bbc was trying to balance something that did not need balancing and that there was a false equivalence putting farage out there out all. it is not about false equivalence but saying is there another argument. the other argument is there are many people who do not believe a further referendum is necessary in a six second clip is a way of amplifying that, especially given that campaigners on that side of the argument continued to make their argument and all it really demonstrates is just how polarising and divisive this issue remains, two and a half years after the referendum. newswatch gets a lot of complaints is that the bbc too often ignores demonstrations. and the back of the women's pension protested the recent example. they say the bbc is consistently ignoring them. there are a number of factors that will come on how we decide or not

to cover a particular march. the fact of a margarine demonstration is not that it is news and it sometimes. but the waspi demonstration, it had to take place on stopped alongside other new stores that day. no one is saying that this affects many millions of people and the campaign is not worthy of coverage. we have covered it in some depth. on that date, it was covered for at least ten minutes. the day before politics live also covered that issue. so not covering administration does not mean you do not think a story is worthy of coverage. actually covering it is not always the most effective way to cover an issue. that particular issue is one we have covered before, and i'm sure we will cover it again. i must stay in the past as a bbc news correspondent myself in the 19905 i regularly got sent out to report on marches, to explain what the issues were and the waspi interview

participants and the waspi protesters are the exact time i would've been sent on. it seems rarely happens these days few say you get a few pictures of the march and you do not get analysis. is that fair? there are a number of factors about how you would decide whether or not to cover a protest or a margarine demonstration. scale is one, is it a matter of national significance is another, is it a live issue is another. could that be an outcome of a result of the demonstrating, will it change anything is another. in the end it will be how does the figure on our running orders in any given day. there could be any number of stories that are competing for attention and we have to weigh the significance of them nationally, internationally as to whether they should be included in the bulletin. the fact that a demonstration is not taking place or disrupting traffic is not something that will necessarily bring it airtime. jon zilkha, thank you. it is clear now that the washington post journalist who walked into the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul on the 2nd of october was murdered. though the exact circumstances of his death remain unknown. but just what exactly

was the victim's name? here are a couple of versions seen recently on bbc news. reportedly led the saudi team suspected of doing the hit on khashoggi. five days ago jamal khashoggi arrived at this consulate building. john sweeney and marked lowering their both pronouncing the name with a hard g at the end. but should it be more of a jee than a gee like this? jamal khashoggi walked through this door 11 days ago, and was never seen again. bill is there with a g at the end and emphasising in the final syllable of the name, i'm mike chris buckler. behind these walls jamal khashoggi was lured to his death. the variations don't end there. was the hard k in the name there,

khashoggi, correct? or should it be more of a soft sound? here by james mandell and frank gardner. these are the latest pictures ofjamal khashoggi and his fiancee. lurid details ofjust how khashoggi died have been leaked to turkey's pro—government media. all this inconsistency did not impress a viewer called lindy loo... but what is the right version? this telephone caller was pretty clear. this is a friend of the khashoggis. i'm asking to change the pronunciation. it is not kah—show—gee. it's ka—shoggy. however the name advised to be said in the last two examples we played reflecting a gulf arabic rather than a standard arabic pronunciation. one final thought on the reporting

of his death comes from kevin west, who posed this question. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions on bbc news current affairs, you can call us. 0r e—mail newswatch. you can find us on twitter, and do have a look at our website. that is all from us. we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news covers again next week. goodbye. hello.

british summertime ends this weekend as the clocks go back. it has nothing to do with the weather. clearly we are not in summer any more. it will feel that we are not even in autumn, though. cold arctic air in place across the uk. a biting wind. many of us will be dry with crisp, clearsunshine, but there will be some showers about. some of those will be heavy, even wintry and places, too. the air coming all the way from the arctic, all in the blue. and it is a strong wind well. the showers are predominantly in the areas that are exposed to the wind. here is how it looks first thing. these are the starting temperatures. a touch of frost. that is the distribution of the showers. they've been coming in overnight into northern scotland, icy and places, and a bit slushy on higher routes, ice risk in northern ireland, with temperatures close to freezing. the showers will continue on the northerly wind running into ireland. northern scotland and the west of wales and far south—west of england. in the name, it penetrates inland across parts of the midlands, east anglia, and south—east england. showers could be heavy or thundery with hail.

for many, as you see, it will be dry and sunny. everywhere has that biting northerly wind. that has an effect on the feel of the weather. last weekend top temperatures close to 20. this weekend nowhere near. because of that wind, it feels even colder. mid to low single figures in places. that's how we end the afternoon. many will be dry on saturday night, clear, cold, with frost setting in. showers will continue, though, particularly across eastern parts of the uk. again, it could be wintry in higher ground. remember on saturday night the clocks go back an hour. an extra hour in bed for some of us. as we start off on sunday morning, well, again, it will be cold and frosty in places with a risk of ice in some spots, too. and the showers going on through sunday will really be across eastern parts of the uk. the north—easterly wind will penetrate a bit further inland at times.

but a lighter wind for scotland and northern ireland. possibly a stronger wind in the east and south—east of england. for many on sunday it will be dry, sunny, again — but the temperatures, maybe a degree or so high, but the wind will still be a bit stronger. going into next week, wet at times, but low pressure close by. the temperatures will gradually creep up again. bye bye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones — our top stories: a registered republican voter has been charged in connection with a series of letter bombs, sent to high profile critics of president trump.
