qua? 3.13 ,, ”raga... n' elections. really squeezing the tories. terrible result for them as a governing party. in fact right i'iow. a governing party. in fact right now. no doubt about the big losers on the night, but the emphasis on the brexit party st clear winners annoyed some of their opponents. susan thought there was a another fair way of looking at the outcome. and recorded this video of her thoughts when watching on monday morning. four parties were leading with a pro—eu anti—brexit message. the dems, the greens, change uk, these parties secured at this point in time 38% of the vote in their vote share went up. it is a shame they didn't have a full reliance as they didn't have a full reliance as they discuss and maybe you could have reported a better but is still obvious. the brexiteers, nigel‘s brexit party in his old ukip party got 36.8% of the vote. they got a
7:46 pm
bit less of the total vote. i know that brexit got meps, but you could've highlighted the strong remain vote, you didn't cover the lib dem and green party success is nearly enough this morning. the aggregate vote the one about remaining supporting parties may not have been given enough priority for some viewers, but it was covered on bbc news, including in this report from tom barton. it wasn'tjust a good night for the brexit party. though standing on a clear remaining platform also made a great leap forward. they greens to be the conservatives into fourth place. —— the greens beat the conservatives. a champagne moment for the liberal democrats. coming in second with a 20% of the vote. but the adding together of her main parties and vote share to show a majority over it leave parties as shown in this graphic which appeared on the bbc news website prompted objections from the other side. william speight
7:47 pm
at the graph did not count the conservatives in the leaves total. the graphic falsely shows that brexit party supporters had other objections. one about the makeup of the studio panel on the overnight programme. about which a twitter user called and posted this... and there were also complaints about this comment from laura kuenssberg. they are clearly going to seek some kind of role, we know that nigel

farage is extremely good at making his case to the public in a way that appeals to a certain kind of voter. he has done that again. susan lovett had this response. plenty to talk about that with the bbc head of news—gathering jonathan rowe who joins bbc head of news—gathering jonathan rowe whojoins me now. thank you bbc head of news—gathering jonathan rowe who joins me now. thank you for coming on. we know brexit really defines people. no surprise there are different complaints come again in the bbc can deal with each 11 by one specifically let's start with the graphic of pro—and anti—brexit votes aggregated. you left the conservatives out of the pro brexit in tally. that was wrong, wasn't it?
7:49 pm
one ofa in tally. that was wrong, wasn't it? one of a whole range of data we did on the numbers. as you remember, it was online for a while and refers to that at no stage a major part of our coverage and i don't think anybody watching our coverage can think we we re watching our coverage can think we were saying anything other than the brexit party had did well. with they conservatives specifically didn't ask you a manifesto. so it was difficult for us to make an exception. —— issue a manifesto. where the brexit party change uk and other people who advocated a so—called people's vote were campaigning specifically on that issue. why were you doing leave the remaining tallies of votes anyway? it actually was in a referendum. evenif it actually was in a referendum. even if the brexit was an issue people were voting on parties. they we re people were voting on parties. they were voting on parties and a lot of oui’ were voting on parties and a lot of our coverage were voting on parties and a lot of our coverage broke down party by party right up to the small parties. any election has a range of data that you can carve in comparison to previous elections or in this case, the lever remained referendum that we the lever remained referendum that we had three years ago now. nothing
7:50 pm
wrong with giving people a snapshot of how the uk votes based on those intentions and how they compared with the last time we went to the pole specifically on the europe issue. which was a referendum. except because created confusion because people are saying you didn't put the conservatives in what you should have done and maybe if you stuck to party lines, they wouldn't be any complaints. the vast majority of our coverage sticks to party lines with the brexit party showing clearly at the winter. i don't really think taking on the coverage of the whole anybody could be any doubt we report absolutely fairly com pletely stra ig htly doubt we report absolutely fairly completely straightly that the brexit party was the winner of this election. they were. there were a lot of complaints that the bbc gave the top headline to nigel for roche. and his break a party over the success of remain parties. that wasn't the best topic and headline. that is the opposite complaint to the other one. we are getting complaint from both sides but there are specific. i have never been satisfied with the idea because we are getting complaints from both sides, everything is all right. that is not good enough. it presupposes
7:51 pm
that people are not right and complaints specifically will be. we will have a good case for that. it shows the polymerization of the audience which reflects a polymerization of the electorate. nigel farage headline in the programme and as they were in his party was only six weeks old when the election of england and wales at a reasonable editorial call. the pen on the studio, dominated by the two parties, the conservatives a labourer, why haven't you got a brexit party person in the studio or more of a liberal democrats? two points on that if i may. the first is the clip we just saw your introduction show the panel at one moment in time during a five hour programme. the panel change significantly during the night. liberal democrats were on the panel. not in the clip you showed. we also interviewed sir ed davey down the line. he works remote on the camera outside the studio. on the brexit party, most of the people who wanted to speak to work in a location because they were candidates. some
7:52 pm
people like and what he can who we heard from everett to tice. they we re heard from everett to tice. they were interviewed on the programme. we heard the acceptance speech from the programme. they were there because they were candidates without which we cannot control. but wherever they are to a difference to how much prominence they get in the running order. pro-leave voters, rarely complain bbc coverage is biased against them. many didn't think that a cross a line when laura kuenssberg referred to nigel farage knowing how to appeal to a certain kind of voter. what did she mean?|j wasn't kind of voter. what did she mean?” wasn't in her thinking at the time. it was a lie programme. it went on for five hours. you it was a lie programme. it went on forfive hours. you could use that phrase to apply to any loyal supporter of any party. —— a live our programme. a certain type of voter will vote for the snp oil the greens or the conservative. nothing bad implied by that. some did. what do you think she meant by that?” don't think this is to see me. —— i don't think this is to see me. —— i don't think this is to see me. —— i don't think they should think she
7:53 pm
meant anything. she has been covering this saga for years now. incredibly, careful. about the way she politicians describes of any colour whether they are leave or remain or somewhere in between. there was nothing meant by that comment. thank you. it isa it is a week since teresa may pass emotional speech in downing street and announcing the date that she would be stepping down at conservative party leader. and it week until she actually does so. but before she actually stepped out of number ten to address the nation. this man set up the podium. he was swiftly dubbed hot sound guy on social media. and appeared as such on bbc news website. —— theresa may. gareth wrote...

finally, thursday saw what the bbc proclaims as a technological landmark for broadcasting, described here by reporter sarah walton at the news that one. the bbc today becoming the first british broadcaster to go live using a commercial 5g internet connection. if we are breaking up that may be because as you hurt in the report, the coverage is still at the moment a little bit patchy. yes, and u nfortu nately a little bit patchy. yes, and unfortunately in this brave new world, a 5g things didn't get any better. the sort of things we do all day long on our phones, streaming music, downloading tv programmes in film and putting photos on social media. we can do that almost instantaneously. still only
