using broadband more. Now, it is Welcome to Newswatch. Coming up,

did BBC show pride or prejudice? With more and more of us accessing

our news via mobile phones and tablet computers, what effect would

that have on the content? Are you shocked that they gave you a death

penalty? Was it the time for that question for someone he was just

$:/STARTFEED. Last Sunday a of millions of people were glued to

Andy Murray's attempt to defeat Novak Djokovic. Quite a few others

were frustrated by the weekly diet of current affairs being disrupted.

The Andrew Marr Show was moved onto BBC Two, to the consternation of

some. Sunday Politics was delayed by almost two hours. One viewer was

And Another v were called in with a similar view. There were that

television has been changed round just for tennis is a waste of time.

A would have rather seen Sunday Politics, instead of being put off.

It is not good enough. BBC One should keep the same programmes.

Political shows like that have been discussing the topic of Britain's

place in Europe, a debate kicked off again by the Prime Minister's

speech promising a referendum last week. This is a clip of it as it

appeared on the BBC News channel. It is wrong to ask people whether

to stay or go before we have had a chance to put the relationship

right. How can we centre bleak answer the question without being

able to answer the most basic question - what is it exactly we

are choosing to be in or a load of? Were no fewer centres reaction...

Now, since last April, the Breakfast Programme has been

broadcast from Salford, which has necessitated a longer journey for

some of their guests. A few weeks ago, one of the newspaper reviewers

on the red so far was Simon Fanshawe, who came with tales of

our troubles and injury. I came all the way from Britain

because I love you so much. Love to you did not take a plane!

I got to the station having jet website all afternoon in full

expectation the train would be running on time, and three minutes

later it was cancelled. We put that point back to breakfast,

and they responded with this On Thursday, Lindsay Sandiford lost

her case for legal funding for an appeal against the death sentence

should be given a in Bali for drug trafficking. The way the story has

been handled has been controversial in some -- with some viewers. This

is reporter Karishma Vaswani in the courtroom as the sentence was

delivered. Any comment from what% at --

sentence has been? Argue shock they gave you the death penalty?

Visibly shocked and hiding her face from the glare of their cameras,

Lindsey's and -- Lindsay Sandiford refused to speak.

Diana was one of a number of viewers who contacted us with this

response. A reporter that approached Lindsay

Sandiford moments after she was sentenced to death for drug

smuggling and after reaction. Does this reporter have no feelings for

Lindsay Sandiford or the family and friends when she made this

intrusion? Does she honestly think she would expect an answer? I was

shocked and appalled. Coverage of the case has also led to a

different objection voiced by Chris The another viewer observed on

We know from your many e-mails and telephone calls that Newswatch

viewers often disagreed with the priorities given to different

stories by editors in charge of news bulletins, so what would it be

like if news was tailored to be of particularly relevant interest a

year before being delivered to your mobile our tablet computer, a race

is increasingly used for accessing use. That is a proposal from Chris

Russell, the head of product from BBC News Online. Chris, anyone who

looks at the BBC website will see the most viewed section, the idea

of you can choose where to go. What is different about your plans?

We have seen a massive growth in the number of people accessing our

services from mobile phone so. We saw a 50% increase last year, and

the number of people accessing from tablets doubled in 2012 alone.

People increasingly expect to follow things of personal interest

on their mobile devices, so we are working on trying to make the news

more relevant to people when using those mobile devices. Explain how

that would work. Basically, you may be able to select the areas of

interest that you have. It may be a ground where you are located. We

produce a lot of content about local services. It may be about

location based services, and it might just be the way that we can

track and see what you are already looking at and produced stories

that may be of interest to do you, as well. For example, a story about

a big employer that has a national importance, but importance for a

local area, you could direct people to that and find it useful. There

is a worry that if you ask people to click on, water cooler news, as

it is called, it is the fluffy kitten story, that is not news, but

people watch it on the internet. Does the BBC want to be encouraging

that? We clearly want to balance this with a clear editorial voice,

and we don't want people to be accessing news they know they are

interested in and miss out on something incredibly important to

them. We will always balloted with the editorial voice, what the BBC

thinks his most important. We are already seeing that the use of

mobile is not a boat those kind of stories are born, we had a record

use after the presidential election. People are interested in the big

stories and spending more time with tablet devices, getting into the

depth and looking at special features and reading for longer.

Are you interested to see how you can carry them both of? There is a

fear that the editorial news bulletin is the BBC's purpose, and

if you make it easy for people to self-select, not being interested

in politics or American news, people will be accessing stories --

will not be accessing stories that the BBC needs them to be interested

in. Indeed, if you're looking at the wider industry, there are a lot

of services that aggregate things by interest. The interesting

research and development we're doing is looking at how you can

balance that with the editorial. We can see what a BBC journalist made

some light as interesting. There correspondent -- the Correspondent

has Twitter fields, you can see what they find interesting. When

can we expect this? In the next year or two we will be increasingly

developing these services. Finally, it is a truth universally

acknowledged that every item about prejudice -- pride and prejudice

should contain that phrase as if no one else thought of it. There were

many examples as we celebrated 200 years since the novel was published.

It is a much bigger, deeper, more serious, more important novel

banned the movie versions have allowed it to be. We do have a very

jolly, spirited girl in the middle of it, buried - it -- dashing,

handsome and rich man on the other side.

This is the sign the Manchester version of the book.

I want to be Elizabeth falling in love with Mr Darcy over and over

again. Andy were not the only person doing this, are you?

And no, this is a very good friend of mine, Victoria Connolly. This is

Mr Darcy's diary. Yes, and Monica Fairview, who has written Mr

Darcy's cousins. Darcy, Darcy, Darcy.

17 -- one reviewer reacted with Before we goal, following that the

rumpus around event at the BBC last autumn and the Pollard report into

matters arising from the Jimmy Savile scandal, many have contacted

us to ask how the BBC intends to move on. Transcripts compiled as

part of that increase are due to be published shortly, and once

everything is in the public domain Helen Boaden, the BBC director of

news, will come on the programme to discuss the way forward. Keep your

questions coming in about that and any aspect of BBC News. Next week,
