this week, we examine the changes to the bbc weather forecasts. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. on the show... how wise was it for a bbc reporter to be following this woman down a dark street? and the bbc‘s weather forecasts have had a makeover but are they clearer or have they made the picture more murky? tuesday marked 100 years since some women receive the right to vote and breakfast marked the occasion with an all—female line—up, from the two main presenters to sports and weather presenters and a roster of women guests. some members of the audience approved... thank you for a show presented exclusively by women. well done. but, she went on, what happened to the usual black and minority ethnic presenters that are on the show? and iryna questioned the whole idea. in doing this, the bbc is demeaning women because it shows that according to the bbc, women get exposure because of their gender, not ability. across bbc news that day, the anniversary was recognised. kevin jones applauded the coverage as a whole but had one major r

warnings, the bbc now has a new weather service provider, meteogroup. although the presenters are the same, there is also a new look seen online on the weather app and from last tuesday, on television. for that day's news at one, sarah keith lucas talked through some of the changes. let's zoom into northern england and in this example, you can see quite clearly the showers falling as rain but also as snow over the higher ground. and it is not only on the small scale that things are changing, but also on the global scale too. we can now look at satellite data from right around the world, we can also add on pressure fields and frontal systems. well, some members of the audience have responded with enthusiasm like but paul smith complained of a lack of clarity. apart from the change from a brown to green background, some viewers detected a change in the shape of the map with the new, longer, thinner version giving more space to scotland. for sean gillingham, the overemphasis on scotland is completely misguided when you conside

"just watched the new bbc weather forecast or was it a joke? no presenter or map. better to listen to the radio." and sarah horsley wondered has somebody broken the new bbc graphics already? was this decidedly low—tech approach to deliver deliberate reversion a 50—year—old style. the bbc press tam tweeted this explanation. this was simply a case of human error due to the ea
