keith mccormick e—mailed on tuesday: also taking exception to the coverage of the following mornings in radio 4 was the business secretary speaking to michelle. i'm trying to get your view on what many people regard as a very invested competent picture that's been sparked by the mini—budget. hold on — you suggest it's causal, which is a speculation, what has caused the effect in pension funds because of some quite high—risk, but low probability investment strategies is not

necessarily the mini—budget. it could just as easily be the fact that the day before, the bank of england did not raise interest rates as much as the federal reserve did, and i thinkjumping to conclusions about causality is not meeting the bbc's requirement for impartiality. jacob rees—mogg there on wednesday. on friday, we heard of kwasi kwarteng's sacking. well, it is been a busy week for what used to be the business and economics unit and now the money, technology and data department, but its editor has spared

the time to talk to us. and thank you for coming on newswatch. and being ex chancellor and already some viewers said that they feel the need that the media has contributed to his departure. when you have a story which started with the pound being at a record low against the dollar, that spike in government borrowing at the bank of england and intervention up to £65 billion in government u—turns, think this is a story that is very dramatic in its own right. but that the media contributing to that. it's been very volatile time for a couple of weeks now and viewers have pointed out not all the data, economic data out there is disastrous. has the bbc been too quick since the mini—budget tojump on only the bad figures? i think the real world impacts of what's happening in the past few weeks in terms of mortgage costs for people and be seeing some being withdrawn from the market and also reported on some of the more positive aspects

of what's happened in terms of better savings, and the weak pound being good for exporters. and some say the bbc is blaming everything on the mini—budget there are otherfactors, such as the war in ukraine, global inflation affecting interest rates and markets overreacting perhaps. i think we've acknowledged there's a number of factors in this, not least the very strong dollar and what the federal reserve is doing with interest rates. but i think we also need, looking at impartiality with the bbc, you have to examine the evidence and i think we will struggle to find that many economists who say that there is no link between heaven and the many —— mini—budget and what subsequently happened in the market and so, the government itself, kwasi kwarteng acknowledged that this many budget had caused some turbulence. that was on thursday. intervention impartiality, jacob rees—mogg accused the programme being interviewed of perhaps not being impartial. what is your response?

we acknowledge the global factors and what had happened, the strong dollar, the federal reserve�*s action as part of the story, but, we have to balance the strength of the arguments that's part of what impartiality is all about we have to ask and as i say, the most economists would acknowledge that there is a link between what happened in the mini—budget and what subsequently happened in the markets. and many viewers might remember previous economic crises in the news, 2008, the 1992 crashing out of the erm, my first economic crisis as a journalist, possibly 1972's budget and i wonder how unprecedented the challenge of covering the current rapidly changing economic situation is. i cannot claim to have covered all those myself. but i would say is it's been extremely challenging and i think the speed of the story changing and the speed of the

market reaction, to try to emphasise what it means for audiences with the real world impact is but it's only been the most challenging story of covered in my career. do you think there's a slight danger of journalists feeding that coverage, social media and you can put this on social media feeds very easily. you can, and we have to choose your words very carefully because we do not want to add any sense of panic in the markets or even with audiences as well. so, i think we have reported carefully and holding those to account and acknowledge all the other factors at play as well. and you mentioned what the public think, the challenges of economic reporting and an audience, there is some research that came out last week in the press gazette, that revealed that many in the public do not understand terms such as inflation, gdp and the deficit,

and is doing this, use those terms all the time. is that a concern in trying to get stories across? we have a history of the significance, we want everyone to be of to understand and we talk about all the time, yesterday, i was involved in a conversation with my team of the 2008 global financial crisis, and some of the audience do not understand that, so we ended up talking about how as we describe it. we talk about the recession and that's problematic for some members of the audience, so we ended up talking about when global banking system almost collapsed. so we are over having these conversations all the time and informing our judgements. if you look at our website, we have lots of simple explainers around and what is the office for budget responsibility, and i think to give an example, and the business presenter, we have on news round very recently talking about the markets and would have been going on in the markets because we want that audience to understand. dominic, thank you so much.

it was announced back in april that dateline london, the weekly current affairs discussion programme on the news channel that launched in 1996, viewers then begged the bbc to reverse the decision. but there has been no reprieve and as sean said at the end of last week in�*s programme, this weekend's will be the final edition. thank you all very much. thank you for being in dateline over many years. you would not be with us at the next week but we hope you will be with us for the final edition after 25 years, we will have at least one guest right at the start who will bejoining me next week. bring them together uk journalists and foreign correspondence in this country to hear their perspectives on current news stories. it had a loyal audience that includes vanessa who has this

video for us. we are very disappointed that the bbc is removing dateline london. we have thoroughly enjoyed the short 30—minute programme in which national and international journalists discuss world—wide topics. having lived in various locations around the world, it is interesting to hear the views of other nationalities covering their own countries and giving their perspective on what is happening in britain. their independent and impartial views are extremely valuable. that view represents many viewers who feel the bbc should have rethought the cancellation at a time when international tensions are greater than ever. the bbc has said it has nothing to add to this statement that it gave back in april in response to complaints about the programme's demise.

finally, there is no immediate end in sight for the conflict in ukraine and no let—up in its intensity. on monday morning, sally bundock was speaking to hugo in kyiv about russia's response to the attack on a bridge leading to crimea when this happened. a residential area of the city, a major city in the south of the country, very close to the front lines was hit and more than a dozen... ok, hugo, our correspondent in kyiv, obviously for obvious reasons taking cover at that point. paul spoke for many viewers who saw that many tweeted this:

thank you for all of your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions and what you see or hear on bbc news on tv, radio, online, and social media, e—mail us: you can call us and do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that is all from us, and we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. hello. most of the weekend's showers will come on saturday, there will be some heavy downpours around, a blustery day, too. by sunday, it's a different story — it's looking drier. we are in between weather systems by then. now, low pressure very much in control for saturday just to the north of scotland, bands of showers swinging around that. before that pulls away on sunday, there's the gap we find ourselves in, this next system coming in

towards the south and west later in the day. after a cold night in scotland, we'll start saturday with some rain in the west, having gone through northern ireland overnight. rain across parts of north—west england, wales too. all of these heavy downpours sweep eastwards during the day, some reaching east anglia and the south—east later in the afternoon. after some showers in the morning have cleared away, then a few hours of fine weather. now, once you clear through the heavy and thundery downpours, further scattered showers arrive into the afternoon, particularly across the north and west of the uk. getting windier — gales through the irish sea and adjacent coasts. a cold—feeling day in scotland when you get the showers and the wind — maybe some snow to the highest ground out of these. as we go on into saturday night, you can see all these showers becoming mainly confined to northern areas where it stays quite windy. it does mean a milder night and, going into sunday morning in scotland, it does mean a touch colder the further south you are, where you become mainly dry with clear spells. so, on sunday then, still blustery and showery, especially in scotland

first thing, but here's the gap many of us find ourselves in during sunday with a lot of fine weather to come. here's the next weather system moving in, though — some uncertainty about timing, but towards southern england, parts of wales, especially northern ireland going on through sunday evening, it will be turning wetter by then. and after a brief lull in the wind, the winds will pick up again as this system moves in. so, here it is — it sweeps its wet weather north and east overnight and into monday morning and, still on monday, early rain clearing away from the far south—east, but further heavy downpours to come in scotland, especially the north and west. showers for northern ireland, northern england, perhaps north wales too. northern areas staying windiest on monday, whereas for much of england and wales and especially the further south you are, it is looking like another spell of fine weather after some overnight rain. then after that, well, a largely fine tuesday then, then another weather system coming in towards the south—west later in the week, with a lot of uncertainty about how quickly it will move any wetter weather northwards.
