where it wasn't just labor who lost out it seems the b.b.c. also suffered in the recent election according to a new poll showing sliding public trust in the broadcaster for more on that let's cross live now to kate partridge who's in london for us kate how much will this concern the b.b.c. . hi there jacki yes well this poses the question it's all about an issue of trust so do britons trust that media outlets well according to a recent poll trust in the press to tell the truth has all of that than half the population believe b.b.c. journalists are impulsion and one in 5 britons say they don't trust the public broadcaster toll while a side of britons are most likely to trust newspaper journalists working for the times of the guardian well a decline in public trust came as the b.b.c. was criticised by those on the left on the right over its coverage of the general election or some have even suggested their reporting contributed to lay this crushing defeat of a sign one reporter talking about boris johnson winning the majority he so deserves and

what how does is our media tent like does the b.b.c. cover these stories in any vigorous way for example r.b.s. as you indicate there. it's similar here in the united states to recently was discovered that j.p. morgan is involved in racketeering which is an organized crime statute referring to their. conspiracy to rake prices in various a markets and sun the prosecution of j.p. morgan has now entered the criminal phase if anything like this going on in the u.k. well look i think it's fair to say that the media have. some of these scandals you mentioned likes the globe restructuring b.s. there has been a regular kind of drip drip of stories. i guess what i would say is that what the what the media haven't done is that state in any way whatsoever to connect the dots between these broad scale trains i mean should like deregulation of financial services. with they the impact which is wide scale criminal activity in the financial and banking state seems to be here in the u.k. and effect that this is a direct consequence of political decision

the average age of the b.b.c. won't here is about 58 average age of b.b.c. to the u.k. $66.00 the mainstream media got a massive problems and the new independent media shows like yours really aiding and others telling our reason the viewing figures are all going in the right direction is because we're actually reflecting what people of feeling in their lives we're not telling people which is what the m.s.m. the mainstream media do all the time they're very didactic they tell you how to think what you should be thinking we should be looking out what you shouldn't and that when you go screens now in the world people will go and seek out the veracity of each story and make their own mind up and i can only be a good thing for democracy and societies as a whole so i think create mainstream media with us or to segues into something else and segues into the sort of prolonged your kind of occasion of the west so that's another prediction i just think that the stagnation. it's just going to continue and grind on and all in all i think it was shiller one of the german

one we all laugh up our sleeve at love one well the b.b.c. of course denies all bias. yet of course of course it does i'm sure there are even russian t.v. stations or chinese t.v. station there is but i'm sure there are t.v. stations all over the world but i'm believably biased in many different ways from many many different reasons but they are and we know they are and we can all accept it when it's pointed at somebody else i'm having to say i get lost my news from r.t. i get it from you and al-jazeera but this is the 1st election that we've had the person trying to be prime minister who is a valid lee in support of un resolutions that condemn israel for breaking international law do you think that was a an aspect to corbin's defeat huge and i think he played it very badly i think he should have told them to f. off. because he he stands on the right side of the question he's clearly not an anti semite i mean i know a lot about this because i'm also clearly not an anti semite and yet they smear me with that accusation constantly it is a bit like standing in front of a

sex for grades is a film produced by africa the investigative arm of b.b.c. africa it follows a radio presenter and investigative journalist kiki mordy as she exposes sexual harassment in west african university. morty says that she herself was a victim of that harassment. she and a team of undercover reporters posing as students inside the universities of lagos and ghana clandestinely captured teachers abusing their authority and demanding sex from female students in exchange for better grades. the film has its critics who say the undercover methods used were on journalist we put that to the b.b.c. which argued that if there is no other way to expose the story secret recording must be done as for the film's impact all 4 lecturers incriminated have been suspended despite their denials of misconduct a sexual harassment bill has been reintroduced by the nigerian senate and a whole lot of west african university students feel safer on campus you might find some of the following scenes disturbing but good journalism sometimes has that effect deal with it. i came

another foreign reporter from the b.b.c. they love us so much so you have the floor. but if. dissipating your question. steve rosenberg b.b.c. nice spin presidium. but johnson. of us so breeze johnson talk of the q. differently as some time ago he was those that are calling you a tyrant he even compared you we have big character you told me from harry potter to berg and what do you think about him what kind of impression did he make on you has he made on you and brags it and how do you. measure the nationalists and the relations between our countries will be between the great britain and russia and since now the great britain is expecting to read their parliamentary report the ballot. fraud changes their political protests be ok so we are waiting to read those to maybe you could tell us now and so did rushing for a few years rush interfering in the u.k. domestic matter thank you that was. many statements by politicians in different countries about russia. and here is well i do it yes no what is my attitude. sure. i know what the interests of my country are when you go no matt

endorse next we'll have to wait and see but i just wanted to mention a previous armed service to a b.b.c. journalist who asked about well what did that mere putin think about boris johnson the prime minister of great britain making disparaging remarks about blood near putin comparing him to unsavory characters and all but calling him names and about russian interference in meddling in british politics to which lead me putin replied that while he's he's above it people say all sorts of things he's one focus is what's in the interests of the russian federation polluting the interests of the russian federation actually the interests of the russian federation so people could say whatever they want to climb by about collusion he said any leader in the world can express an opinion about any country it's their right and britain can do it america can do it and so can russia and some people choose to see this as meddling merely speaking about another country well their opinion. most of it will just go to you of the virtue of them are you still in u.k. politics or political ticker today. just rega

reduced poverty route 65 percent to 8 percent according to what he said while the british state mandated b.b.c. . so let's be clear it has been successfully not because i mean he's one of the most billionaires people here in chile one of the top 5 billionaires and he like to make one of the top 10 or 20 probably but our country. is not about democracy numbers today they are in employment it's high it's a day. or numbers of economic growth are not what was expected to be where it would be yes promises on campaign but more than that people cannot get into the end of the month people have asked to to to have credit in order to buy in the supermarket the basic incomes i mean a bit the basic thanks to eat our economical elite house and get that didn't get the message until these days ok but then for you and your movement the trade unions and premier they're supporting a new constitution presumably an updated version of that new liberal pinochet 1980 constitution but you for you it's not enough you want to constituent assemblies and plebiscites. this is what the yes set a few days ago in national te

people are standing on the street so where i'm standing right now i'm standing me up by one of the b.b.c.'s shopping this just in hong kong so there's a big shopping mall on my back and but the houses are also police vans apart talking me up by and it's heavy caught up by riot police officers at the entrance so the atmosphere here is definitely very intense in contrast what was supposed to be a festive season on today on the christmas day. you say that riot police have been using pepper spray against demonstrators to day last night there was tear gas used now this is the 1st time that riot police used tear gas in about a month it seemed like there was a period of relative calm so is all of this showing that there is a new escalation underway. here tear gas has returned to the streets of hong kong so many of the chaotic scenes which many of us familiar with it's now like back to hong kong and as you said the situation in hong kong has been calm for our few weeks in recent weeks after the local elections where the pro-democracy cammo one us are sweeping factory in that election and other r
