welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed.rompted questions about the use of archive footage. it�*s been a week of wild and windy conditions across many parts of the country, with storm bert causing considerable damage over last weekend. plenty of material, then, for the late night weather bulletin on the news channel on sunday night. hello there. plenty of heavy rain through the day on sunday from storm bert and some strong gusty winds too. this time strongest across the southern half of the uk. here are some of the highest wind gusts here. newswatch viewer robert tuned into that, and then again at the same time on monday night where he saw this. hello there. plenty of heavy rain through the day on sunday from storm bert and some strong gusty winds too.

thank you very much for coming on newswatch.nk it's fair to assume that most people want a reliable and a clear forecast — and the viewer whose email we heard just now was referring to all the fancy graphics, not, in his opinion, adding anything comprehensible. does he have a point? well, we try very hard to be comprehensive and comprehensible. we...our presenters are there to explain the weather and to add context to the forecast, and guide audiences through what it means to them to keep it safe. we have quite a lot of visual tools available to us, and the presenters think very hard about how they how they construct their forecasts. they often only have a minute or two on air. and as you know, they don't they don't use autocue either. we often see weather presenters in general do their spots from special outdoor locations, though not, i should point out during storm bert — but you know, when it's wimbledon or there are general events over the course of the year, we do see weather presenters on location, and the challenge is par

welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. resignation of the archbishop of canterbury? and was gary lineker�*s departure from match of the day a suitable topic for extensive coverage on news and even political programmes? one of the most consequential changes in british law could be decided on in the next few months. a bill to legalise assisted dying in england and wales will be discussed in parliament, and the public debate on this most sensitive and emotive of issues has already begun. on tuesday morning, the mp bringing forward the proposal, kim leadbeater, was hosting a press conference in westminster, carried live on the news channel. they have produced a bill that is workable, that has absolutely rocksolid safeguards. i heard kim describe it as... apologies, we're just turning away briefly from that news conference going on in westminster. we will go back to it injust a second. there is an update regarding the situation of match of the day presenter gary lineker, about his future with or without the bbc. over the next t

share opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email newswatchx. and do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that's all from us for now. thanks forjoining us. do think about getting in touch, and perhaps even coming on the programme. we'll be back to hear more of your thoughts on how the bbc covers news next week. goodnight. good afternoon. it's still predominately cloudy but largely dry out there. we've had mist and fog, particularly over the hills, but not that much rain, just nuisance—value drizzle. looks set to stay that way for many this weekend, although there will be some subtle changes. the subtle changes through the rest of the day will be a bit more brightness around, with drizzly showers from the north and east, northern scotland again seeing a little bit of sunshine, as we're seeing across both the north and west of england and wales. but that's not helping the temperatures, chilly out there, just ten celsius. even with the sunnier skies in northern scotland, the change in wind direction today is making a change. we had

thank you so much for coming on newswatch. you have been religion editor for three years.you find it is hard to get onto the news bulletins unless there is a scandal like this week's resignation of the archbishop of canterbury? it is interesting that you say that. i actually don't feel like that. it may come across that way when we're talking about the institutions themselves, but i actually find in this role, i get a chance to explain much more about the way people think about issues. it isn't always about holding people to account and scandal. so, over the last couple of weeks i was reporting on where faith played a part in the american election. we were looking at... you know, i was in rome a couple of weeks ago, looking at women in the church, in the catholic church. we have looked at the faith dimensions to wars and so on. but i understand it can sometimes feel like a role that focuses on the negative — a lot of news does. you know, when we are talking about the rise in anti—semitism since what has been going on in gaza, the islamophobia that we saw in the violence du
