speaking on the today programme naked in front ofjohn humphrys and nick robinson. what was that like?” am perfectly comfortable. i don't think that women's bodies have to be associated with sex and babies alone. i am a modern day liberated woman. for centuries men and society in general have controlled what women can do with their bodies, so why not come as a modern day woman, use your body for your own purpose to deliver your own message? i think a lot of the outrage is in response to people being angry and frustrated bya to people being angry and frustrated by a woman actually doing something for herself with her own body, rather than something that is under the command of a man. is it anger or is it bewilderment? is it why can't you just say your message which you argue well, but say it to clothed?”

would strive our society in which every woman is free to do whatever she wants with her own body. women's bodies are one of the big battle grounds that we face today. whether it isa grounds that we face today. whether it is a tax on the livelihoods of sex workers as a result of new government policy are trumped's policy limiting contraceptive options for women in poor countries. women should be empowered enough to use their body as a political medium because what is personal is political and what is political is personal. in regard to brexit, brexit is something that isn'tjust about numbers, it is notjust about gdp... it is about real lives. we are going to have to leave it there. thank you for talking about this with us. time for the headlines.

a high courtjudge allows the billionaire, sir philip green, to formally end his legal action against the daily telegraph. the family of cardiff city footballer emiliano sala say they can now mourn him, after police confirm it was his body recovered from the english channel. a man and a woman are arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence after four children died in a house fire in stafford. now it's time for newswatch. samira ahmed rounds up your reactions to bbc news output this week. hello and welcome to newswatch with me samira ahmed. donald tusk‘s comments about hell this week annoyed many people, but did bbc news pour oil on the flames by distorting his words in their headlines? and liam neeson has also caused a storm this week. was the bbc unfair in how it

reported what he said too? provocative statements have been at the heart of news coverage for the last seven days. take wednesday's carefully worded gibe from european council president donald tusk at a press conference in brussels. i have been wondering what the special place in hell looks like for those who promoted brexit without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it safely. those comments immediately, tweeted by mr tusk‘s office, were widely condemned by brexit—supporting mps as george alagiah reported at the top of that night's news at six. the president of the european council stands accused of insulting british politicians. earlier today, donald tusk said

there was a special place in hell for leave supporting politicians, those were his words. but some viewers pointed out that those weren't quite his words, or at least not all of them. mr tusk spoke of those who promoted brexit without even a sketch of a plan of how to carry it out safely, but that last thought, though it featured elsewhere in the programme, was not included in george alagiah's introduction. steve martin was watching and told us... those who felt the shortened version of the quotation distorted its meaning also pointed to its use on thursday morning's today programme. and the initial headline

on the news website, "special place in hell for brexiteers," later deleted. and on the bbc politics twitter feed. stephen kingsnorth felt compelled to contact the bbc for the first time ever and recorded this video for us about how mr tusk‘s words were reported. he spoke of those who had promoted brexit without a sketch of a plan to carry it out safely. "safely", he was talking of those who had promoted brexit, not as you variously reported or implied either all brexit supporters or brexit voters. he was musing on a question, "i have been wondering," whereas it was repeatedly reported without reference to that pondering. both flowing subtext on the screen and reporting oversimplified the comment. it was very difficult to understand because it was so misleading. making things simple can be

at the cost of truth. i accept absolutely that the remark was worthy of attention, but i expect better of the bbc which, by using shorthand and half quotations, spread misinformation on a sensitive subject. and it is simply poorjournalism. well, we want to discuss those points with someone from bbc news, but our invitation was declined. instead, we were given this statement which did acknowledge the points. if there was an outraged reaction to mr tusk‘s bombshell,

there was just as much of a backlash to an interview given by the actor liam neeson and reported on bbc news on tuesday. the hollywood actor liam neeson has denied he is racist afterfinding himself at the centre of a global media storm. in an interview to promote his latest film, he described how a0 years ago when someone close to him had been raped by a black man, he then set out to kill any innocent black man in revenge. he says he quickly came to his senses and was appalled by his behaviour and that it was not motivated by racism. but some viewers thought that wider context of what liam neeson had said was not fully reflected in the coverage that followed. jeanette lewis e—mailed. and clem o'mara echoed that.

the bbc gave us this statement in response. one man whose remarks are always guaranteed to provoke a heated response is president trump. who this week delivered his delayed state of the union address in washington, dc. no issue better illustrates the divide between america's working class and america's political class than illegal immigration. simply put, walls work

and walls save lives. applause. mick warren felt there was a lack of balance in the way bbc news covered that. for others, coverage of the state of the union address, along with reporting last week of extreme weather in the united states, was signs of an obsession with the usa on the part of the bbc. the last straw for maurice pankhurst came with reporting of the highlight

of the american sporting calendar, the super bowl, in which, for those who are interested, the new england patriots defeated the los angeles rams. his reaction... do let us know your thoughts on any of those issues or on any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us coming up at the end of the programme. now, on thursday night, police confirmed that the body recovered from the wreckage of a crashed plane is that of cardiff city footballer emiliano sala. the plane, piloted by david ibbotson, who has not been found, disappeared over the english channel almost three weeks ago. bbc news has been following developments closely since then withjohn donaldson reporting here. emiliano sala's family and friends will have known this moment was coming. but it has now been officially confirmed he is dead. after being recovered

from the wreckage of the small plane on wednesday, police say his body has been formally identified by the dorset coroner. denise walker e—mailed us on thursday to say... and jane johns agreed. last week's snowy and icy weather across much of the uk which continued into the weekend prompted the familiar sight of bbc reporters braving the conditions across the country. that prompted a familiar complaint

voiced here byjoe moon. and a different objection was articulated by kathleen critchlow. finally, it is sometimes pointed out to us that for all the complaints and suggestions you make about bbc news, instances of them being addressed and things changing

as a result are few and far between. well, last month, we add objections that the news at ten was moved on to bbc two when a live football match shown on bbc one overran because of extra time. we can't be sure that we can claim all the credit, but when the same thing happened with another fa cup match going into extra time, the boot was in the other foot. the football switch channels. although some viewers were upset by the disruption caused, many were glad that news stayed where it should be. dear bbc, three weeks i wrote to complain that the news had been moved due to an ever winning football match. this week, i would like to thank the bbc for maintaining its schedule and allowing the ten o'clock news to be

on bbc one where it belongs. thank you. at least one satisfied customer. perhaps we had a little influence there. thank you for all your comments this week. if you have any comment you can share it. you might even appear on the programme. find us on twitter and have a look at our website. that is from us. we will back to hear your thoughts next week. goodbye. this is bbc news — i'm reeta chakrabarti. the headlines at 8pm. the daily telegraph will publish more allegations against billionaire sir philip green tonight — after he dropped an injuction against the paper. the businessman denies allegations of sexual and racial abuse. these gagging orders are being used to cover up allegations of sexual misconduct and racial abuse by, by wealthy, powerful men. the family of the footballer, emiliano sala, say they can now mourn, after his body was recovered

from the english channel. after the death of four children in a house fire in stafford, two people are arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. theresa may is meeting her irish counterpart in dublin — as she continues to try to seek changes to the brexit withdrawal agreement.
