by the bbc met with the disapproval of some viewers. heather leach e—mailed. .. and keith russell made this point... spaniards also went to the polls this week, with the country's third general election in four years last sunday. the headline about it on that night's news at ten focused on the high turnout and the bbc‘s expectation that a far right party was expected to perform strongly. later in the programme,

that was again the initial focus for huw edwards. our europe editor, katya adler, is in madrid. and katya, let's start by talking about the performance of this far right party. yes, with almost all the votes counted now, huw, it looks like the populist nationalist vox party has performed strongly, winning a bunch of seats in spain's parliament for the very first time. but what we cannot talk about tonight, huw, is a massive swing to the far right in spain. vox looks set to become spain's fifth—largest party, with the centre—left the largest. so given that the vox party was, as katya adler said, set to become only the fifth biggest party, did it really warrant the attention given to it? the director of the think—tank british future, sunder katwala, thought not, writing this on twitter...

he went on... and another aspect of katya adler's report on that programme also led to audience objections. vox is extremely spaincentric. it is pro—bullfighting, pro—eu, anti—catalan independence. but in this country, split left and right since the spanish civil war, vox — unlike other populist movements across europe — has failed to attract disaffected workers who traditionally vote for the left. the location of that piece to camera, and a sequence before it, offended louise o'gorman, who e—mailed...

at the end of last week, clive myrie, who had been in sri lanka to cover the aftermath of the easter sunday bomb attacks, interviewed the country's prime minister. what caught the attention of some members of the audience was not so much what ranil wickremesinghe or clive myrie said, but what the latter was wearing — and his body language. we were given the chance to speak with the prime minister, who says he's grieving, too, despite public perceptions of a lack of empathy for those distressed in this hour of need. charles grisham had this reaction... derek appleby was equally unimpressed, asking...

ravi chundi agreed... well, we asked bbc news for their response to those points, and they told us... do let us know your thoughts on any of the subjects we're covering this week, or on any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. last week, we discussed whether bbc news was now giving the subject of climate change the priority it warranted — if it's the urgent, serious problem which most scientists think it is. thursday provided something

of a test of the bbc‘s commitment — as on that day, parliament approved a motion to declare an environment and climate emergency. els sixma thought it failed that test, writing... one aspect of bbc‘s output relating to the climate that we didn't mention last week is the bit that comes at the end of news bulletins — the weather. here's helen willetts telling us what to expect outside on tuesday's news at one. i have some good news and i have some bad news. today, tale of two halves. so you may have woken up rather misty and rather grey, as it was here in york, but the sun has come out. however, further west, we have quite a bit of cloud and rain. so i'll tell you about that in a moment, but this is how it looks

where we've got the sunshine. beautiful, beautiful out there. a fairly typical weather bulletin there, but one that a twitter user called crawford took exception to. on thursday, the bbc‘s ireland correspondent, emma vardy, reported that police in northern ireland would offer anonymity for witnesses to the dissident republican murder of the journalist lyra mckee if they agreed to give evidence against her killers. a complex and sensitive subject. but when the item ran on the news at six, not everything went according to plan — including the report running without the normal introduction from the presenter, sophie raworth. # we shall live in peace...

the spectre of an old conflict still haunts this city. now, derry is trying to heal new wounds. the violence which led to the death of lyra mckee was orchestrated by so—called dissident republicans. they see themselves as part of a decades—old struggle against british rule in northern ireland. the camera then cut back to emma vardy‘s report — at the end of which, sophie raworth apologised for the obvious technical problems. but they also highlight a concern some viewers had about how to describe the city for the murder took place — derry, as emma vardy named it there, or londonderry. mark lake asked...

and tom whitmore wrote... so what is the bbc‘s approach to this, and what happened on thursday? well, part of the answer lies in sophie raworth‘s missing studio introduction. bbc news told us... those technical problems weren't the only ones apparent on—screen this week. sunday's andrew marr show didn't go on air planned at 9am because of a malfunction

in the studio shortly beforehand. while standard presenter mishal husain and the programme team hotfooted it to another studio, bbc one ran ten minutes or so of the news channel instead. but when the programme did start, chris mason — reading the new summary in salford, but reliant on scripts written in london — was left with no autocue, no hard copies and — after memorising the first item — nothing to say. and i'm afraid, mishal, i'm not seeing any more of this news bulletin. and i'll have to hand back to you. chris, thank you very much indeed. we do have a few technical problems this morning, so apologies for that. chris merriman thought he detected too many issues like that of late, wondering...

those involved in sunday's show also took to twitter, with chris mason explaining... mishal husain added... and andrew marr himself had this to say... thank you for all your comments this week. we do want you to get in touch with your opinions on bbc news

and current affairs, and maybe even appear on the programme. that should be about what you see on tv, bbc news online and on social media. so do e—mail newswatch... or you can find us on twitter... you can call us on... and watch previous interviews on our website. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. hello there. it feels like our weather has gone a bit weird, what with the 21 celsius we had in february, and now snow in may. yeah, that's what we've seen over the last 2a hours. some wintry showers in scotland, snow settling on some of the northern hills. you see those wintry showers feeding in behind this line of rain, which is a cold front heading south across england and wales. don't be surprised over the next few hours if we see some of that rain

get a bit heavier and perhaps turn to snow over the hills of wales, even. wintry showers continue to feed in further north in scotland, with further snow to be spotted here. it is the brisk winds which will prevent a frost from falling for most of us, but where those winds fall off in the countryside, the odd patch of frost is possible. and for the weekend, big, dramatic skies like these. sunshine and cumulonimbus clouds. when the clouds come across the sky, combined with the cold and windy air, that will make the weather feel really quite chilly. out of the winds, in the may sunshine, where the winds are lighter, perhaps more to the south—west, feeling fresh more than anything else. not too bad. mixed fortunes, really. saturday, the lion's share of the showers coming across northern and eastern scotland, driven by the strong and cold northerly winds. those winds putting the showers onto the north sea coasts as well. we will get a number of heavy downpours, a bit of thunder mixed in with some of these. inland, fewer showers. lighter winds and may sunshine,

perhaps not feeling too bad, really, with temperatures up to 14 degrees and those strong winds around the north sea coast, you'll be doing well to see temperatures reach double figures. disappointing for may. heading through saturday night and into sunday, still showers around, especially across northern areas, and another chilly night. we could see a few patches of frost. five degrees in london, three in cardiff and two in edinburgh. sunday's forecast, the wind coming from more of a north—north—westerly direction, more from iceland, really. that will change who sees the showers. for example, showers continue for northern scotland. at the same time we could have an odd shower sneaking in through the north channel to affect north wales and perhaps north—west england as well. after a sunny start it tends to cloud over and it will be a coolish day, 10—13. bank holiday monday, a greater chance of seeing showers across inland areas as a trough makes its way south,

bringing those showers inland. if anything, the temperatures will be dipping down again. highs of eight degrees in aberdeen. that's your weather.
