7:41 pm
again, heading fast up a mountain in thejersey. the criteria is often a key race of those aiming to win the tour de france. among those who are on the tour. this week, britain's adam yates has been his nearest challenger — at the tour, he'll be riding for his team leader, tadej pogacar, who's recovering from a broken wrist. but here he's been leading uae team emirates, maybe trying to spot any weaknesses vingegaard may have. but the only thing the great dane didn't do today was take the stage win — that honour went to italy's giulio ciccone, who stuck it out from the breakaway and won the king of the mountainsjersey. vingegaard had already put in the hard kilometres winning the steepest stage yesterday, crossing the line to claim overall victory, 2 minutes 23 seconds ahead of yates. he's already made himself favourite for yellow in the tour this summer. now, plenty of sporting events this summer will be affected by the weather, and i imagine those involved in the custard pie throwing championships might have preferred it to be a little less warm in kent as they withstood the barrage of food. there were some rules for the 120 competitors to follow. it's just a foil plate with flour and water on it. but you have to throw left handed, face hits score six points, it's three for a strike on the arm,

within of the audience can watch proceedings live. and was the interview with the self—proclaimed misogynist agitated valuable or damaging exercise? —— andrew tate. andrew tate be a valuable or damaging exercise? sometimes an event takes place which attracts the world's press like moths to a flame. one such media scrum occurred this week when the duke of sussex gave evidence against mirror group newspapers over claims of illegal newsgathering, including phone hacking, which they deny. among the many cameras outside london's high court, keen to capture prince harry's arrival and departure on both tuesday and wednesday were the bbc�*s. the press assembled at the doorways, the reporters, the camera crews, because the prince has been watching some of the other
7:44 pm
witnesses being cross—examined in the last little while. but we are expecting him to depart after a second day of cross—examination there at the high court. for the next a0 minutes or so, the bbc news channel stayed on live pictures of the outside of the courtroom, awaiting what turned out to be a rather brief shot of the duke leaving the building and getting in his car. paul boden was sceptical about whether this was time well spent. the camera is just looking at the entrance, waiting for him to emerge up above. chris collins echoed that, who thought... we asked bbc news for their response to those points and they told us...
7:45 pm
although there were many cameras outside the courtroom, there weren't any inside, which meant reporters had to relay what was going on via live online updates or wait till they were outside the high court to summarise what had been said on television. the only visual material of what happened in court came via drawings by the courtroom artist, although sky news filmed a ginger—bearded actor voicing prince harry's words. tom boadle tweeted. .. well, let's discuss this issue
7:46 pm
of whether there should be more tv cameras allowed in british courts with the legal commentator joshua rosenberg, who, of course, spent 15 years as the bbc�*s legal correspondent. thank you so much for coming on newswatch, joshua. hello, samira. just remind us, where are cameras currently allowed in courts? in england and wales you can have some appeals televised, but you don't have trials televised. there's one exception, which is that it's now possible to broadcast the sentencing remarks of a judge in a criminal trial by advance arrangement. but normally, any criminal trial, any civil claim like the one involving prince harry, is closed to cameras in england and wales. in scotalnd, it is possible with the consent of everybody involved in the case, but that's very rarely arranged.
7:47 pm
do you think it now seems bizarre that we're still in cases relying on, you know, those court sketches, or in the case of the sky news, hiring an actor hollywood style, to perform the words? it should be possible to extend the range of cases that can be televised. so, for example, judicial review claims against the government — there's one coming up being brought by the government against the hallet inquiry involving covid—19 — that should be televised, no problem at all. the view taken by the judges is that where there are witnesses involved, it's difficult enough giving evidence in court in the first place, but the idea that people might be able to watch your evidence and talk to overnight if, as happened in the case of prince harry, your evidence extends over a second day. you know, you go home and somebody goes, "i saw you on the television, why didn't you say that?" or "you didn't do very well". and so the balance has been struck that appeals can be televised generally, but trials cannot. and i suppose in prince harry's case, there might also have been a legal argument that given the whole case is about media intrusion, it would be inappropriate to then allow cameras in as well. yes. i mean, he knows perfectly well that every word he said was being recorded, written down, transcripts can be made available,
7:48 pm
acted out as as you've indicated by an actor and reported in real time. but actually, the idea of people watching him around the world, that might be a bit much for him, and the theory is that it's easier for him to give evidence calmly. all right, he's got a room full ofjournalists listening. he's got the judge listening. he's got the barristers on both sides. but to actually have a worldwide audience watching, that might make it more difficult for him. and after all, the important thing is for him to give evidence properly, fairly, calmly, accurately — and this would just be another strain on him or any other witness. flipping the point of view, in a sense, is there a case to say, given that the principle of our court system is justice being seen to be done, the public can go into courts and watch people give evidence, that a tv news audience would benefit in some way from being able to see a whole trial, even allowing for maybe witnesses potentially being not included? i think that's right, and that's why the judges have allowed this limited entry into criminal cases by allowing
7:49 pm
sentencing remarks. but you're not allowed to see the defendant. you can't see how the person who's been convicted is reacting to the sentence. i think we could extend that. so it is possible for broadcasting, particularly live broadcasting, to interfere with the course ofjustice. but certainly, there ought to be an extension and we have no problem in watching appeals in the supreme court. they can be broadcast live. they're livestreamed in the court of appeal. there's livestreaming available there. it's simply trials where there are witnesses, where it's thought this might be wrong, but that may change. joshua rosenberg, thank you so much. around 1000 members of the national union ofjournalists went on strike this week, resulting in the disruption of bbc local news on wednesday and thursday.
7:50 pm
the dispute, which we've mentioned before on newswatch, centres on planned cuts in local radio in england, meaning more services being shared among different stations, with bbc managers redirecting budgets to digital services. the proposals were announced last october, but more than seven months on, the two sides seemed this week to be as far apart as ever. the effect of the industrial action was apparent to newswatch viewers with some regional television bulletins being dropped and some shown in areas of england, a long way from the region being reported on. one bulletin that did go out was wednesday's late night london news. good evening. i'm miranda schenker with the latest in london and the southeast. and welcome to viewers joining us tonight from across the country. but that wasn't quite the latest in london and the southeast,
7:51 pm
because, although it wasn't made clear on air, it wasn't live at 10:30pm as normal but pre—recorded, and therefore missed a big london story — the victory of west ham united in football's europa conference league final that night. dr liam mccarthy, former bbc local radio station managing editor, thought that was appalling. in response, a bbc spokesperson told us... as for bulletins designed for one region being shown in
7:52 pm
other parts of the country, that left some viewers confused, and wilson wondered... and on the wider issue of the dispute, dave barnes begged... last week, bbc news got something of a scoop, an interview by lucy williamson with the controversial social media influencer andrew tate. she's been reporting on his activities in romania for several months. tate is being investigated by prosecutors there over allegations of rape, human trafficking and exploiting women, which he denies. in the interview, he dismissed the testimony of individual women
7:53 pm
who have made accusations against him, claiming that one woman interviewed anonymously by the bbc earlier this year was "imaginary" and had been invented by the bbc. i've presented you with case after case after case with quote after quote after quote of people who are genuinely concerned about the impact you're having and you brush it off as if it's nothing. no, what you have done is come here with an agenda. you've come here with loaded questions, you've come here with things taken out of context. you've come here with things that you don't understand are satirical... satirical and jokes. that's how you explain the comments you make. for you to sit down, would you like to apologise for any of them? no apology was forthcoming and reaction to the interview was divided, with anne marie writing... but gerald ramshaw thought lucy williamson's interview with "the obnoxious andrew tate was a masterpiece."
7:54 pm
we hope to discuss the interview with lucy williamson or anyone from her production team, but unfortunately, nobody was available. thank you for all 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 email newswatch at bbc.co.uk or you can find us on twitter at newswatch bbc. you can call us on 0370 010 6676 and do have a look at previous interviews on our website, bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. hello there.
7:55 pm
it's been another hot and humid day, but we are starting to see the signs of a change for the latter stages of the afternoon. the shower clouds are brewing and the heat has not been quite as widespread as yesterday. we've seen some stubborn cloud and showery rain into scotland, some sharper showers developing down into the south—west over the last few hours. and you can see the first signs of those thunderstorms now starting to break out. i suspect over the next few hours, those thunderstorms are likely once again to become more widespread, particularly across england and wales, to close out our sunday evening, probablyjust in time for an evening family barbecue, i'm afraid. so we could also see more persistent rain moving out of dorset across gloucestershire and up into south wales. here we could have a couple of inches of rainfall on top of those thunderstorms as well to look out for may well lead to some localised flooding in places.
7:56 pm
so that rain clearing slowly away from south wales, it stays misty and murky down to the south—west we keep some cloud into northern scotland, but elsewhere once again it is going to be another uncomfortable, humid night for trying to get a good night's sleep, with overnight lows in london only for around 17 or 18 degrees. the south—west starts off cloudy and murky, but there will be lovely spells of sunshine again. another hot and humid affair for most of us, and that once again with the humidity is going to spark off some sharp potentially thundery downpours into the afternoon. so you can see quite widespread these showers across england and wales on monday. northern england should be largely fine with just a few isolated showers, a few isolated showers to the west of northern ireland. and there will be some drifting and making their way across scotland as well. in terms of the feel of the weather, we are still going to keep that humidity for the early part of the week. so mid to high 20s, quite widely
7:57 pm
across the country on monday and potentially into tuesday. and that as we've had quite a hot weekend, is the threshold for heatwave conditions and it's going to stay pretty warm through the night as well. there are indications of something just that little bit more comfortable as we head towards tuesday. so if you're trying to plan your week ahead, i can tell you the beginning of the week starts hot and humid with the risk of thunderstorms. a little bit later on, though, a little less humid, sunny and staying dry.
