hello and welcome to news watch. and every company that is producing storms had the united kingdom, is it content for our children has to take on that responsibility. necessary or responsible for reporters and camera crews to be out in their midst facing the elements? features in games like loot boxes, randomised in—game virtual items philip schofield tells the world which can be bought with real—world he's gay. should that be headline cash, have been compared news? and, does bbc news get over to gambling, and have led to increased scrutiny of the industry. so does it need to clean up its act? excited every year by the oscars, with excessive and trivial coverage? we are businesses at the end of the day, and these parental controls and family controls are important, first, westminster was a buzz on because you can turn off in—game spending. thursday as the prime minister that's why the conversation announced his cabinet reshuffle. the is really important, full details began to emerge, so it is a shared responsibility. while learning about parental controls improves digital literacy, perhaps some parents who play video political editor laura kuenssberg games with their children was already on the trail. are you might enjoy the experience as well. expecting a promotion today?” was already on the trail. are you expecting a promotion today? i have absolutely no idea. pleasure to be pa rt of absolutely no idea. pleasure to be part of the government. emerging as the brand new chancellor. but has

well, that's it number 11 become an annex of the for this week's show. prime minister? megan robinson was the short cut, the full version is on iplayer. you can keep track of the team throughout the week on instagram, facebook, youtube and twitter — @bbcclick. 00:01:11,486 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 thanks for watching. among a number of viewers taking exception to that report, she e—mailed: the eyes of the bbc with l on the new chancellor on friday morning. even in the middle of a report about mumps on the news channel. around half of mumps cases last year were amongst unvaccinated people, according to public health england.

but many, did have the mmrjab, and... sorry for breaking into that report, but there goes the new chancellor alongside stephen buckley into number ten, for his first cabinet meeting as chancellor. now, we're going to go back to month for a moment so apologies for breaking into that report. chris mitchell wondered, was it really necessary to break off from a report on the increase of mumps with braking used to show a few seconds of a man, the new chancellor going through a door. the annual display of celebrity glitz and glamour that is the oscars a lwa ys glitz and glamour that is the oscars always features prominently on bbc brea kfast, always features prominently on bbc breakfast, as the ceremony takes place in los angeles overnight our time stopping this year was no exception, with plenty of clips of a cce pta nce exception, with plenty of clips of acceptance speeches, studio

interviews and discussions, some of the dresses on display and live output from reporters on the red carpet outside the big vanity fair after party. kim kardashian, tony just their way up. what happens, they walk along, most of them don't speak to us. haven't really worked out what the deal is yet and they go to have their photographs taken, you can herald the paparazzi photographers shouting at them stopping you can see the press lined up stopping you can see the press lined up and basically they come past. reese witherspoon has already gone past, robert de niro, we are hoping, of course, to see the oscar winners. later, sophie long and her collea g u es later, sophie long and her colleagues did find some award winners. the coverage of the oscars is undoubtedly popular with some viewers, others find it trivial and excessive, and that you is articulated in the telephone

message. yes, the oscars only take place once a year, and everyone goes into overdrive, but the bbc breakfast presenters were also in overdrive and supplemented by supercharged. storm ciara received plenty of coverage over the weekend with bbc teams dispatched across the uk to report on the damage and destruction it was causing. here is an example from sunday's breakfast. people are being told to avoid unnecessary travel. in a moment we are going to speak with thomas, but first, good morning to you. it seems may be slightly less windy than it was earlier, but hard to tell.m might seem that way, the occasional really strong gust takes you by surprise, so much so that a little while ago our camera got knocked

over, andl while ago our camera got knocked over, and i don't know if you can hear over the sons of the strong wins, but to the right of me... i'm so sorry, wins, but to the right of me... i'm so sorry, it's so noisy, so blustery, we can't quite hear you. few minutes later we saw that even when correspondence were trying to report on subjects other than the storm, it still made its impact felt. here is an update from dublin on the general election. around today and into tomorrow, it could be weeks or even months of intense political negotiations ahead. go inside, get a political negotiations ahead. go inside, geta nice political negotiations ahead. go inside, get a nice cup of tea, and four out. several news watchers got in touch with their reactions:

and alison gibson recorded her thoughts for us on camera. i'm sure your reporters are in a safe place when being filmed, however they do appear to be rather too close to danger, and often apologised for the difficulty we may have hearing them above the atrocious conditions. when one has an appeal to the public to stay away, one can't help feel that the bbc isn't setting a good example. show footage of dramatic scenes, but play the report over the top with your journalists scenes, but play the report over the top with yourjournalists well out of harms way. we put those points to bbc news, and they told us:

do let us know your thoughts on any of the subjects we were covering the suite or on any aspect of bbc news. i will be giving you details of how to co nta ct i will be giving you details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. last friday, the television presenter philip schofield revealed on social media that he is gay. following that up with an interview on itv‘s this morning with his co— presenter. the announcement was greeted with widespread messages of support for schofield, who has two daughters

with his wife of 27 years and was covered widely across the media. here is the bbc‘s lgbt correspondent reporting on friday's news at six. some people are questioning why this matters doubly well, this is an important moment for lgbt people, for someone as famous as philip schofield to receive the much support from his colleagues here and elsewhere shows the amount of progress that has been made. however, not everyone's experience will be as positive. but not eve ryo ne will be as positive. but not everyone was impressed by the tone of the coverage:

markjustin ford mark justin ford found markjustin ford found out the news on his phone and had this response: was disappointed by the use of the bbc breaking news alert service to state philip schofield has come out as gay. i feel it is inappropriate in 2020, we are using sexuality as a breaking news story, and as such a misuse of the bbc news tech service of which i feel should only be used for emergency or breaking news stories. finally, one or two viewers have noticed a habit of some news presenters on display from hugh edwards here this week on the news

at ten. achieve political correspondence is outside number ten for us tonight, and vicki, what are you expecting? blue there's a lot of talk of a valentine's day massacre, but i am told the reshuffle will be a lot more modest than that. left alive to geneva to talk to our global health correspondent who is at the world health organization headquarters. what have they been saying today? around 400 of the world's top scientists have been gathering here. many thanks again. peter briggs e—mailed us recently with this objection:

thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, including social media and online output, e—mail us or you can find us on twitter. you can call us on: can find us on twitter. you can call us on: and could even appear on the programme. do have a look at our website where you can see previous interviews and discussions we have recorded. that is all from us, we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week, goodbye.
