from 730 till 9:00 on a sunday morning ahead of any other news channel by significant level is bbc breakfast the bbc news channel. so we clearly are doing something that the audience appreciate. newswatch, of course, as you said yourself, goes out during breakfast on saturdays, which we love. we get a big audience sometimes covering complaints about breakfast. is it weird for you? i don't think it's weird. i think there's a challenge for newswatch, which isjust because you're on breakfast, does that mean that the audience always feel like you're the regulator and monitor of breakfast? and i think the challenge is to make sure that you cover complaints about all range of bbc programmes. look, i don't think it is. i think it's right that you exist. i think it's right that the audience is views are reflected and i think it's right that people like me are held to account. richard, thank you so much for coming on newswatch. 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

and a0 years old today — we remember the start of bbc breakfast time — and a new chapter in british televisionn the bbc news channel: he was last seen in international rugby playing for england, but three years on, ruaridh mcconnochie is picked in scotland's six nations squad. good evening. the future of electric car manufacturing in the uk has been dealt a blow with the collapse of britishvolt — a maker of electric car batteries — with most of its 300 staff made redundant with immediate effect. britishvolt had plans to build a giant factory in northumberland and was seen as a vital part of the industry's future in the uk. experts say several factories making batteries will be needed to support the future of car making as petrol and diesel engines are phased out. last year britishvolt asked the government for £30 million in support but it was refused as the company had not hit important targets. our business editor simonjack has more details. it's time to power up the future... a bold and ambitious vision. a plant that would produce batteries to power a new generation a state—of—the—art facili

and, as bbc breakfast turns back the clock, what did viewers think of this old style analogue way of15, three schoolgirls from east london left their families for syria tojoin the islamic state group. what happened over the next few years to one of them, shamima begum, has often featured on news bulletins, including the twists and turns of the removal of her british citizenship. now, a ten—part series has started on radio four and as a podcast in which investigative journalist josh baker traces shamima begum's journey and talks to her in a series of interviews. do you understand why society has so much anger towards you? yes, i do understand, but i don't think it's actually towards me. i think it's towards isis. but when they think of isis, they think of me because i've been put on the media so much, you know? but they only did that because you chose to go to isis. but what was there to obsess over? we went to isis, that was it, it was over. theyjust wanted to continue the story— because it was a story. it was the big story. but you do accept that you did join a terrorist group? yes.

talk about the promise for integrity, professionalism and accountability, and this morning on bbc breakfastes, said nadhim zahawi should stand aside during the probe. i think nadhim should stand aside until this matter is all cleared up. i think the longer it all drags on, the worse it gets for him, so i hope the investigation is swift. actually, i think for his own sake, he should allow there to be some space between him being a government minister and this sort of investigation. i've just been over in parliament chatting to some mps and there is a feeling amongst some conservative mps that if this continues to drag on then things might have to change and the prime minister could be forced to act but nadhim zahawi's view is he did nothing wrong and he always behaved properly and wants to make the case to the ethics adviser during that investigation. the one government minister we have heard from on the airwaves this morning is chris philp and he argued nadhim zahawi should stay in post while the investigation plays out. i think it's reasonable that where there's an investigation that the p
