great britain's women have missed out on the team final at the gymnastics world championships in doha. they were just over a tenth of a mark outside the top eight nations. the result means that gb will not have a representation in a world championships women's team final for the first time since 2006. you can keep up—to—date with everything that is going on in the formula 1. lewis hamilton is back up to second. he is about eight seconds 01’ so to second. he is about eight seconds or so behind verstappen. seventh place is all lewis hamilton needs to win this for the world title. so far thatis win this for the world title. so far that is exactly what is happening. keep an eye on that on the bbc website as well whether it's text commentary. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more sport throughout the evening. but now on bbc news it's newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed.

did bbc news give it right prominence to last weekend's peoples vote march in london? and why did other demonstrations and protests go relatively unreported? first, tuesday's accusation by the daily telegraph and racial harrassment by an unnamed businessman set off a torrent of speculation after the court of appeal issued an injunction preventing the newspaper from revealing that person's identity. when he was named, the bbc news channel reported the fact under the rules of qualified privilege. lord hain has used parliamentary privilege to name retail billionaire sir philip green as the businessman. at the heart of the injunction story covered by the daily telegraph newspaper. lord hain‘s comments have now been

widely reported across the media. the bbc cannot confirm the allegations and sir philip green has made no comment. reporter: in a statement, sir philip said he would not comment on what had been said in parliament, but he added:... studio: with the injunction remaining in force, not everyone was happy that the bbc reported sir philip's name. here's michael williams. last saturday saw the gathering in central london of a large number of people with a point to make. the peoples‘ vote march later that day's bbc one bulletins, with this report from chris mason. reporter: they came from every corner of the uk and beyond. it's a campaign that wants what it calls a peoples vote. in other words, another referendum.

(chanting) when do we want it? now! there were some political faces you mightjust there were some political faces you might just recognise here. but the vast majority were ordinary people still deeply angry about brexit. studio: of course, pretty much everything about brexit is disputed and the priority bbc news gave to the march was no exception. michael ryan thought 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 in chris mason's report of this. reporter: the march on monday wasn't the only brexit related event today, though. here in harrogate in north

yorkshire, eight much smaller gathering but one of a series from ‘leave‘ campaigners. studio: some people, including joe burns, wondered: it's not unusual for us on newswatch to hear from those who have been on a rally or demonstration and have been disappointed by the lack of coverage devoted to it by bbc news. another example came a couple of weeks ago when protesters from the women against state pension inequality campaign — known as waspi —blocked roads outside of the houses of parliament and protested again in large numbers when the bbc failed to report the demonstration.

joy e—mailed: well, to discuss how bbc news assesses the news value of protest and demonstrations, i'm joined byjohn zilkha, controller of bbc news channel. thank you for coming on newswatch. 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's 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 that 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? numbers will clearly be

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, the fact that this is still considerably still one of the most debated matters in national discourse means that inevitably it was going to be higher on news running orders that day. some viewers are wondering why didn't nigel farage‘s very small event in comparison in harrigate, get coverage? that event was included as a way of getting extra context to what was notjust the scale of the march but the argument the march was seeking to raise. clearly, those people who were marching that day were campaigning for a second fold or a further referendum on the final brexit deal. there are many people would disagree that such a vote is necessary. and chris mason's report and a clip of six seconds duration we gave voice to that by simply saying through nigel farage‘s words that 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 equivalence by any means. clearly, the vote in london was far larger but there was no equivalence given to those two things. interesting you use the word equivalence. to those viewers who complained, 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 in there at 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 and a 6—second clip is simply a way of amplifying that, especially given that campaigners on that side of the argument continue to make their argument and all it really demonstrates is just how polarising and divisive this issue remains 2.5 years after the referendum. newswatch gets a lot of complaints that the bbc too often ignores demonstrations. and the waspi women's pension protest was a recent example. viewers say the bbc is consistently ignoring them. there are a number of factors that will come to bear on how we decide or not to cover a particular march.

the fact of a march or a demonstration is not necessarily news. in its own terms. but the waspi demonstration had to take place alongside other news stories that day. no—one is saying that this affects many millions of people and the campaign is not worthy of coverage. in fact, we have covered it in some depth. on that date, radio four it was covered for at least ten minutes. the day before, politics life also cover that issue. not covering a demonstration does not mean you do not think a story is worthy of coverage. actually, covering a demonstration 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 1990s, i regularly got sent out to report on marches, to explain what the issues were and the waspi protesters are the exact time i would've been sent on. it seems rarely happens these days,

and viewers 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 march or a demonstration. scale is one, is it a matter of national significance is another, is it a live issue is another. could there be an outcome as a result of the demonstration, 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 may 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 taking place or disrupting traffic is not necessarily something that will necessarily bring itairtime. jon zilkha, thank you. it's clear now that the washington post journalist who walked into the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul on 2 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 mark lowan pronouncing the name with a hard g at the end. but should it be a g than a "gee" like this? jamal khashoggi walked through this door 11 days ago, and was never seen again. bill there with a g at the end, and emphasising in the final syllable of the name, unlike chris buckler. behind these walls, jamal khashoggi was lured to his death. but the variations don't end there. was the hard k at the start of the name there, khashoggi, correct? or should be more of a soft sound as demonstrated here byjames 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 lou. but what is the right version? this telephone caller was pretty clear. this is a friend of the khashoggis and please can you change the pronunciation. it is not kah—show—gee. thank you. however, the name advised to be said in the last two examples we played reflecting a gulf arabic rather than a standard arabic pronunciation. jamal khashoggi.

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 and current affairs, or even appear on the program, you can call us or e—mail us. you can find us on twitter, and do have a look at our website. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good evening.
