Welcome to news watch. 100 days of build up to a certain sporting | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
event and 100 years since the Titanic went down. Criticism that | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
BBC went overboard on the anniversary. Complaints are now | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
back, a news channel sticking with a big story for too long, and too | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
much graphic detail been given about crimes and the natural | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
disasters. And another another charge that the BBC provides a | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
place for criminals to justify their actions. We got all four | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
accusations on Monday about the same event. The trial of the man | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
who killed 77 people last July was always going to attract worldwide | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
attention. But by mid-morning on the first day, many people had had | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
:01:30. | :01:31. | ||
enough. A woman who died instantly, a 30-year-old who died instantly. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
What information of relevance to be gained from this ceaseless barrage | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
of death delivered monotone by a translator. Has nothing of note | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
happened in the last 24 hours. Although some of the distressing | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
detail on his testimony was not broadcast, I was subjected to | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
repeated use of the far-right salute and the coverage served as a | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
propaganda machine for the kill. It was impossible to escape the face | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
:02:12. | :02:24. | ||
It was acknowledged in the conversation, that you get the | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
impression he is relishing this. He is thinking, this is exactly what I | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
want. We are giving him the microphone that he wants. On the | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
lunchtime news, he had another interviewee. His colleague Matthew | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
:02:52. | :02:53. | ||
price. Lynne Francis wondered, cannot he not introduce information | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
:03:03. | :03:05. | ||
Two discussed the trial I am joined by the control of the BBC News | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
channel. Colin Russell what did you make of the coverage of the event, | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
you contacted us by the mouth. Aynho it is no fault of you as the | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
transmitter of what has been pervading the court, it is the | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
prosecution case has put forward and it is explaining in graphic | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
detail the entry and exit wounds inflicted by the killer on his | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
victims. I felt it went too far. It was repeated time and again. Each | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
victim was named and they went through the same procedure. I | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
thought the coverage was too graphic. It was too much in terms | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
of the volume of coverage. I understand this is a big news item. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
You have a present outside the court building. I would have | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
thought it may have been better, once we have had to will three | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
descriptions of the injuries on the victims, may have been better, | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
better production to move to the outside presenter so he could have | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
finished off with a summary of what was going on in the courthouse. Too | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
much graphic detail about the injuries, necessary detail? I think | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
Mr Russell has a point. The details were upsetting. They were is laid | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
out by the prosecution as pretty straightforward medical details. | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
The story of each victim was a very sad. The difficulty was, for us, we | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
did consider this during the reading out of this, his comedy you | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
look like you are devaluing some of the victims by coming out and | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
saying we have had enough of that. Because each individual story and | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
face we have to understand what he carried out. Do you think there is | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
a danger that by giving so much attention that you are giving this | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
fairly dreadful person the oxygen of publicity? I think that is a | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
danger. You are fuelling his desire for the oxygen he requires to put | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
his perverted agenda across. He feels he is acting in a deluded way | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
and the best countries of his countrymen. Another viewer has | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
complained to us about you taking a still image of the right-wing | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
salute. Turning it into an iconic image. We did not create the iconic | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
image. The killer did it in court for the first two days. It was | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
picked up by every media organisation because it was one of | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
the iconic images of the day. The viewers in the audience are | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
extremely well informed and intelligent. They can listen to the | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
accounts of what he did and see the way you behaved in court. We have | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
confidence they can make their own judgments. Another viewer has | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
complained about the BBC reporters interviewing each other. They are | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
surprised this goes on. In such financial times for BBC news. | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
had three reporters there. He was wondering all the live coverage. By | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
having him there, presenting our coverage meant we could to a joint | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
service for BBC World. Matthew Price was turn the television news | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
packages. That means he cannot do live coverage. We would not have | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
been able to do the same coverage. John socle a cover the original | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
events. He has been back to Norway to talk to families and groups who | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
have an interest in it. He has an ongoing interest and understanding | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
in the story. I was keen that his understanding should be bought on | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
that story. What have you made of the case Kevin Black Hirst has put | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
in how would you like the BBC liked to cover the rest of this trial | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
which could last ten weeks? appreciate Kevin's explanation as | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
:07:34. | :07:35. | ||
to the coverage. I am concerned as well as his mention -- of him | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
covering the iconic image of the killer. He should be consigned to | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
the bins of history. He does not need, it is the sort of attention, | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
that is why he went to create his notoriety about such a callous act. | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
He knew this was how the media would react. We are feeding that | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
desire to achieve his aims. Thank you. This week saw the analogue | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
signal being turned off in London and the surrounding areas. One of | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
the last in a series of switch-over is across the country. One | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
consequence is that that viewers will no longer be able to source of | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
information. It is a source of nostalgia for many. It is called | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
Ceefax. Have you wrote to us with this belief. Can somebody | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
reconsider the abolition of Ceefax. I am housebound. There are | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
thousands of people like me. No paper deliveries in this area. | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
Please reconsider the abolition of this because I rely on it so much. | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
No chance of the decision being reversed. But there may be some | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
words of comfort from a block written by the editor of the BBC | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
News website. He says although we will not be saying goodbye to | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
Ceefax until later in the year, I wanted to send a note of | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
reassurance. You can get a digital technical service providing this | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:39. | ||
news. Are you trying to get tickets to see Usain Bolt, you cannot be | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
unaware the Olympics are looming. On Wednesday, BBC news reported | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
their 100 days to go until the extravaganza. This is one of a | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
number of viewers who has written to us along these lines. For those | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
of us without any interest in the event, can we expect any break from | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
the torrent of propaganda from east London. We will be returning to | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
this subject. It asked Weavers at one of last week's topics. Several | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
viewers felt there was too much coverage marking 100 years since | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
the Titanic went down. On Sunday, the anniversary of the sinking, it | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
emerged that Andrew Marr agreed with the objections. We have had it | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
cruises everything, will we be doing this for fatally crashes | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
during the future? I think it has been sordid and tasteless and dull. | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Have after today we hear nothing about this story except from the | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
driest of dry historians. No, you are not alone. Not a call for help | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
this time, but the sound of remembrance. A number of the has | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
contacted us on Sunday objecting to what they saw as a flood of Titanic | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
related items. This woman e-mailed, no more about the Titanic. I am | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
sickened about the way the event has been transformed into a media | :11:11. | :11:21. | |
:11:21. | :11:21. |
