rachel edwards asked... we put those points to bbc news and they told us...

the andrew marr show last weekend featured interviews with the shadow health secretaryjonathan with the shadow health secretary jonathan ashworth, the act was speaking about performing in life it is again —— actress. and the prime minister when it came to the last encounter which was a lot to pack into a limited period of time. crosstalk. crosstalk crosstalk. a lot to talk about. there is a lot to talk about. crosstalk crosstalk. cough -- crosstalk. we're running out of time, we have to move on, we only have minutes left. intolerable. i think that they can prosper. we need to be

about this. very last question. crosstalk. tim pilling was watching out and fired off this e—mail. and sproule is also had that question and recorded a video for us, explaining her thinking. it was clear throughout that interview from andrew's comments that there we re andrew's comments that there were a lot of time constraints and he was constantly moving the agenda on. i wondered why it was felt important to show the segment on the theatre review. while i have no objections at all to that subject, it just seemed objections at all to that subject, itjust seemed that on

the rare occasions we actually see the prime minister in these kinds of interview situations, it would be much better and much more beneficial to the audience to be able to give as much time to that interview as possible. well, a bbc spokesperson told us in response to those points... the coronavirus pandemic has had an impact on bbc news programmes ina had an impact on bbc news programmes in a number of different ways as we have explored on news watch lately. newsnight moved at the end of march to the studio new

—— used by the bbc‘s news at ten, necessitating a swift turnaround between the end of the latter at 1035 and the news later start time of newsnight at 1016. later start time of newsnight at 1045. this week, though, the programme was in the move again this topknot back to its original studio between new home, studio 54 d. shed this time with bbc persian tv and allowing a longer change over time. —— shared. this is what it looks like. hello, good evening. don't be afraid of covid, don't let it dominate your life. the rallying cry of america's president this evening to a country that's witnessed 200,000 die for them —— from the disease under his administration. the bright colours were all a bit much for some viewers including one twitter user who wrote...

but others were more positive. well, we posed that question to bbc news for. they didn't get back to us in time for this week's programme but we hope to bring you their response next week. on monday, the bbc reported that after a gap of ten years, the royal navy is backin ten years, the royal navy is back in the business of flying fast jets of an aircraft carrier stop defence correspondentjonathan carrier stop defence correspondent jonathan beale yeah knowledge and bill the reporter. witnessed for the first time the carrier lodging and landing both british and american f—35jets. and landing both british and american f—35 jets. the and landing both british and american f—35jets. the royal navy believes that this

american ones too. on a british carrier. if you didn't quite catch all of that, you are not alone. at times audiences have problems not just at times audiences have problems notjust with hearing bbc news but also with seeing it clearly. take the broadcast on monday of the speech by chancellor of the exchequer rishi sunak at conservative party conference conducted online this year. it prompted this phone call from an anomalous viewer. i'm

disgusted to see that the insert box with the person signing for the hard of hearing has been covered up by one of your banners. i'm not ha rd of by one of your banners. i'm not hard of hearing but in this day of equality for the disabled, surely the bbc can have more sense. it is not the first but —— timely sort of is happening, you see over applying banners over news eve nts , you see over applying banners over news events, obscuring a lot of the information. is that you suggested, this is not the only occasion we have heard a complaint of this sort. last week, bbc news showed live the presentation by boris johnson, chris whitty and sir patrick valla nce chris whitty and sir patrick vallance about the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic. chris whitty, the chief medical officer pandemic. chris whitty, the chief medical 0fficerfor england, talked through some graphs which contained quite a lot of information, some of it at the bottom of the screen. here is the reaction of another

viewer, very stalwartly. i've been disappointed again to see the strapline used at bottom of the strapline used at bottom of the screen often obscures important information. there we re important information. there were several occasions where there was graphs shown. i could see red lines representing what i understood to be age groups but the information at the bottom of the screen to tell me what those colours represented was not available to me. so i would ask that perhaps you consider the use of the strapline is, whether it's necessary and such important nurses “— necessary and such important nurses —— information —— when such important information needs to come across to the public. finally back to the presidential us election with apologies to those, too, as we heard earlier, have heard enough from the us already. we mentioned last week some of your reaction to coverage of the first and as it turns out possibly last debate between the two main candidates. but this week the places of president trump and joe biden

we re president trump and joe biden were taken by mike pence and kamala harris. for the vice presidential debate. it is fair to say it didn't attract the same degree of attention and much of that focused on the fly that landed on mike pence's head are staying there for two minutes. there were plaudits on social media for the bbc website headline writer which says flight generates most buzz from the vp debate, but although more serious analysis was available across bbc news, some felt the corporation had jumped too much on a rather trivial bandwagon. mark riddle disagreed.

david came out with the inevitable ton... —— punter. thank you for your your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, e—mail us. 0ryou can find us on twitter. that is all from us. we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. hello there. during friday, we saw colder air sweep down across the whole of the uk, accompanied by a fair number of showers as well. this weekend, it remains on the chilly side. again, a mixture of sunshine and showers. the showers much more widespread, though, on saturday. we've got the colder air because the winds are coming in from the north or north—west.

and that is because we have lower pressure sitting to the east of the uk and higher pressure towards the west. during the second half of the weekend, that high pressure m oves a little bit closer, so the winds will not be as strong and the showers will be few and far between. saturday could start dry, sunny and cold across southern england, but the winds are blowing down these bands of showers which could be heavy at times and pushing them southwards. the showers continue to rattle into northern scotland. sheltered central, southern scotland seeing fewer showers and more sunshine. and the afternoon may well be drier across northern england. it may not be too many showers for the south—west of england. 14 degrees likely here. for many, it is 11—13 degrees again and feeling colder in those blustery winds, especially when the showers come along. the winds will gradually ease after dark. the showers continue to run into some coastal areas. for many inland parts, it becomes dry and clear, and cold. those temperatures will be down to 5—6 degrees in some towns and cities, but easily 2—3 in some rural areas. on sunday, we have one or two showers first thing for northern ireland, wales and the south—west. those won't last long. what showers there are will be

running into eastern scotland and down those north sea coasts of england where the winds are still rather keen. elsewhere, the winds will be much lighter, we'll see a build—up of cloud developing, but it should be dry with some sunny spells and temperatures very similaragain, 12, 13, maybe 14 degrees on sunday. the weather starts to change as we move into early next week. instead of those northerly winds, we look to the atlantic, and we have weather fronts coming in from the west. so, much more cloud around on monday. we've got outbreaks of rain steadily pushing its way eastwards. it does mean for some western areas in the afternoon we see sunshine, giving temperatures a boost, but after a dull and damp day and a cold start across eastern areas of uk, temperatures may struggle to get into double figures. and there is more wet weather around as we head into tuesday as well. we end up with low pressure sitting across more south—eastern parts of the uk, bringing wind and rain. further north—west, higher pressure, so it should be

drier and brighter.
