they are regulated by ofcom.k as simplistically as before everyone recognised that. that this is from a legitimate, trusted, fineable, regulatable organisation and then ensure that that's in the feed. then people can read it or not, it's totally up to them. versus what's fiction. i mean, look, it's katie's, it's ross's job to ask is the degree to which this audience cohort trusts does what we might call elite opinion or establishment opinion. here's what i think is the unintended consequence. if that's the trust environment, if that's how in in the way that we've just discussed and saying, "right, these ones over here, we don't want you, we're not a valid source or not. but i do think we have to recognise that for the audience, particularly for the young audience, trust in institutions is collapsing. trust in the media, in government and in business things so they can make up their own minds about what they choose to believe. geordie greig, would you like some sort of stamp which says qualityjournalism can grow n

we have ofcom, we have a government who's done a lot with things like the online harms bill.rent situation to other countries. and we have very strong public service media here and newspapers. so that's important to bear in mind when you think of these things. which was the other big technical intervention, we put lots of controls on it. we made them put news on at a certain time. we made sure that there was a healthy diet. so i'm saying, well, why don't you consider, trusted news, giving it some algorithmic prominence so it's easy for people to find. but let's make it really easy for them to find and make sure it's in the feed. david rhodes, you are american. you've had your career primarily in the american media market. does the idea of the kind of intervention that alex advocates, algorithmic prominence, helping certain types of content get higher prominence than others, that are in the work that...? can i be blunt? we've got to keep government out ofjournalism. _ you can be blunt, but i'd also like to hear the end of david's question. well, look, i think there's two reaso

ofcom's announced new guidance to improve women and girls experiences online.re so hard to ignore. no matter how confident i am, sometimes they make me feel like i'm not good enough, like i need to change something about myself to be accepted. it's so frustrating because i've worked so hard on myself to love myself. to get under my skin. review of allegations against the former have led to action. the report was commissioned after 18 women accused him of predatory and unwanted sexual behaviour. we know the news can be a lot, so here's ten seconds robyn's 18, she's the youngest british woman to surf the huge and said she loved every minute of it. that's us. have a good one. our top stories... chelsea are back in the hunt for europe after slamming southampton. as they register their first point in the latest women's nations league. againast afghanistan at the champions trophy. hello again. provide the real drama for the remainder of the season? all the way to tenth. that includes chelsea who ended the day in the top four thanks to a a—0 chelsea went into the game

they are regulated by ofcom. my kids recognised that. your kids recognised that, it was simple.n, look, it's katie's, it's ross's job to ask because i think, alex, and one of the most compelling is the degree to which this audience cohort trusts as much might call elite opinion or establishment opinion. here's what i think is the unintended consequence. they feel about trust, is the government entering going to give you as much prominence, isn't that a valid source or not. and clearly, i'm not suggesting that you could buy a blue tick, from the edelman trust barometer, you know, is at a ten—year low. so one has to also take into account that the audience doesn't trust all of these organisations anymore and give what they choose to believe. you can't ignore that that's how the audience feels. and i think, you know, we have shown that trusted, in reputation. to mark our homework, for an independent body looking atjournalism. quality journalism can grow. to back this up, that when people consume content they might watch one of david's colleagues�* videos, not "i saw a great video f

grapple with keeping people safe online — it is now a piece of legislation, but the the regulator ofcoms codes as they're called the rules and regulations. there's a lot of kind of disquiet and concern in fact, the home secretary, yvette cooper, said that to us on the show last weekend when we were talking about young men viewing potential terrorist content or violence online. but we're in this sort of wait—and—see moment. so, will the online safety act actually do keep people safe online? but i think a bit publicly, but a lot privately in government as well. there is an acknowledgement that this legislation is going to have to keep up and keep being reviewed because the technology races ahead and nothing happens very fast in westminster. and i mean, we can check what differentjurisdictions do. and in the case that you're mentioning, was cancelled in australia because you could not view it here in the united kingdom. well, in australia is an interesting one and actually, we've been trying to get the australian government to come and talk to us about that. so if anybody from the australi

the uk's broadcast watchdog, ofcom, has announced to give evidence to mps about misinformation tim muffettcommittee hearing will make they rarely deliver very much. the sort of content that molly saw seven and a half years ago, that a coroner concluded led to her death in a more than minimal way, that sort of content is still available. molly was the most adorable of children. i'm her dad, i would say that. but lots of people who knew her tell me that as well. she had ended her life. ..and full of questions about how this could have happened. social media accounts. to end her life. the corporate culture at these platforms needs to change. last year, hejoined other bereaved parents on the breakfast sofa. it's wrong what's happened. so, ian, ahead of this select committee, what's about what will happen? i hope it will achieve something and be it's also inherently a very traditional, slow process that moves cautiously to find new evidence, and is not best equipped to keep up with the pace of tech that move — well, in their own words, they move fast and break things. this is what victory feels

first of all, ofcom.ss haskel, i'm sure you're aware, is the regulator of tv and broadcasting in this country. >> well, you know, if they declare an investigation, i think this is the first step in a long row of actions that should have been taken previously. when we see for a year and a half that the bbc is reporting, one sidedly is distorting information, also reporting false information that's blackening the face of israel. and we've caught them numerous times. they tried to correct it time after time, but where is the responsibility of the report from the start? and so i think that should only be the first step in a long investigation and accountability that they have. you know, they have to take. >> okay. and also there is a campaign group called defund the bbc, calling for the bbc to be stripped of its licence fee. what is your view on that in light of how they have covered the events since october the 7th? >> look, i try not to get into internal british issues, but if i would have been a british ci

would bwron way to address the concern because it would focus part of these on a question that has ofcome ancillarye time a court considers a motion for summar judgment. fendant willften virtually al come offer some reason for their action, either through deposition, declaration, so other paper evidence. so for the court to focus on her plaintiff has triggered a burden of production that a defendant has already met strikes us as besides the point, and that is what the court said judge said. the d.c. circuit to the extent that there is douglas, it would be helpful for this court to clarify to the sixth circuit that because ohi has already met its burden of and should proceed to thet can ultimate question of whether a factfinder could find ation. -- could find determination. >> i want to pick up on that point, at least in many circuits the step three inquiry pretext has become kind of an absolute condition that has met. you have to show thareason offered by the employer is tual to get to trial. again, we have never held that, this court has never done it in the context. other rcts may have

and certainly those of us have ofcome from legacy newspapers never have those kinds -- with the opportunities to disseminate information and tell stories in those ways. it also allowed a lot of people to have a voice who previously did not have a voice. it allowed a tremendous amount of access to experts who perhaps were not being called upon. it allowed us to disseminate our information to an enormous number of people that we could not before. and then on the downside significant downside the internet. that is it has allowed the spread of an enormous number of so-called media outlets or outlets of one sort of another are spreading misinformation, disinformation outright conspiracy theories such that today we have no shared set of facts in our societies today. it's worse than that we cannot agree on how to establish that something where the elements we need in order to establish something as a fact. that is potentially catastrophic danger. to society as a whole but certainly to democracy. of course to the process but society and democracy are bigger than the press. quick to give the same answ

ofcom, that is because no matter what they do, they seem to come under fire.hink they help themselves though. >> okay. what do you think about this? >> yeah. i think it's no surprise that the bbc is basically perceived or i guess openly seems to be like pro—eu or these sort of agendas, because a lot of people within the bbc, whether it's presenters or people at senior figures, have these views and i think quite naturally, as much as we like to say, you know, any organisation should be impartial, humans famously are not. so they end up pushing the way they feel. so unless we get rid of those people and get people who maybe a bit half and half with their beliefs, i think that's going to continue. >> okay. yeah. fair enough. well, our next question is from mike. >> hi, josh. hey. should french gynaecologists be forced to try to examine parts that don't exist? >> yeah. wow. so this is the story of a french gynaecologist, doctor victor aquarian. and he was suspended from practising for a month for refusing to treat trans women, saying he is only trained to treat re

ofcom's alleged refusal to investigate pro—eu bias in bbc coverage of brexit., this is. >> yeah, i mean, going on without any evidence, of course, and purely for satire, i would say personal opinion that the bbc, ofcom are very much in the bbc's pocket. the evidence i would anecdotally present is that they are very pro—palestine, pro—eu. ofcom know the bbc, so a station, an output that's supposed to represent the whole of the uk. yeah. >> i've got to say ofcom are not here to defend themselves. >> they're 1543 00:08:2

in a landmark ruling, the high court found ofcom's conclusions that the broadcasts on the ninth and ofodes, impartiality and content regulations were unlawful. as a result, the court has quashed the decisions and awarded gb news its legal costs. the judgement is the first time the broadcasting watchdog has lost a judicial review of one of its decisions in relation to the code. while a spokesperson for ofcom has said the following, we accept the court�*s guidance on this important aspect of due impartiality in broadcast news and the clarity set out in its judgement. we will now review and consult on proposed changes to the broadcasting code to restrict politicians from presenting news in any type of programme, to ensure this is clear for all broadcasters. thousands of demonstrators are taking part in a general strike in greece. they're demanding justice. two years after a deadly train crash killed 57 people. as some live pictures here from central athens, where a greek police have resorted to firing tear gas and stun grenades at protesters who were throwing petrol bombs themselves, the
