NASDAQ feared. Time now for Newswatch. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Welcome to Newswatch. On this week's programme, see you in court, | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
viewers can watch proceedings and the Court of Appeal but the ball | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
that benefit either the law or the `` TV journalism? | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
Saint Jude's storm hit southern Britain on Sunday night but was the | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
BBC coverage behind? Changes for sentencing of dog | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
owners. Half staff being getting a rough deal from the BBC? | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
A Halloween horror show for the more traditionally minded Newsnight | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
viewers. Before St Jude storm hit, they were widespread predictions | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
that being a UK's worst for over a decade and there was considerable | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
damage with hundreds of thousands left without power. Many viewers | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
felt BBC News exaggerated its impact. Was that connected to how | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
BBC forecasting had underestimated the storms of 1987? | :01:21. | :01:37. | |
We asked another viewer who contacted us to go on to go into the | :01:38. | :02:06. | |
studio together give us her reaction. At least four people have | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
died in one of the worst storms to tear through southern parts of the | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
UK in recent years... The extent of coverage was too much and too long. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
It was hyped as one of the worst storms since 1987 is a lovely one | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
was on cue ready to do a report on the storm. I wonder if there was the | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
better of a bias for the South getting those extended views. With | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
the same have happened in Scotland, would it have been covered in so | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
much debt? `` depth. I think some of the reporting was a bit trivial | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
especially when you have in areas like Syria children dying daily and | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
then you have a woman being upset because she could not boil her | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
kettle that morning. There was no value. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
We asked BBC news for the response and we were given this statement. | :03:17. | :03:37. | |
From dangerous weather to dangerous dogs and news of tougher penalties | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
for orders whose animals seriously injure or kill. Some felt it was | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
unfair to suggest only certain breeds were involved. One said... | :03:50. | :04:01. | |
There were more complaints earlier in the week about a story on the BBC | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
News website on the allegedly tapping of Angela Merkel's forum. `` | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
phone. From 1925 until this week, it was an | :04:15. | :04:42. | |
offence to sell or take photographs in court in England or Wales. Even | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
sketch artists have had to drop from memory but on Thursday that changed | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
with the first broadcast from the court of appeal. Is this a slippery | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
slope? We the jury find the defendant, OJ Smpson, not guilty. | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
Live trial is broadcast around the world have become familiar to us and | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Scottish courts have been open to Canada since 1992. I sentence you to | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
life imprisonment... In England and Wales, apart from the Supreme Court | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
they have been banned up until this. Strict rules governing the broadcast | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
which are jointly made for the BBC, ITV, sky. There will be a 72nd delay | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
before the material is transmitted and judges can exclude cameras if | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
they think it is in the interests of justice. `` 70 second. One viewer | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
was less than grep CN... `` gripped saying... Others saw it as a step | :06:09. | :06:18. | |
forward for justice and journalism but only if it eventually led to the | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
broadcasting of criminal trials. What do you hope to gain from the | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
start of cameras in the Court of Appeal? What we hoped to gain was | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
that we felt that in the 21st`century where pictures are | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
everywhere and it is an important way of describing things that it | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
would be useful in terms of showing what open justice means. It is a way | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
of opening up the courts and increasing people's understanding. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
Given all the restrictions some people are saying it is pretty dull. | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
I have a lot of sympathy for that viewpoint because it was a fairly | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
dull case and we were doing it just because we could but we will pick | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
cases on their merits. This could be a bit compromised if you're having | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
to negotiate all the way through the coverage? It is not so much | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
negotiating with the courts as with other broadcasters. There is a | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
presumption they will open themselves up to having covered | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
whatever we wish to cover. I do not think our editorial and turf `` | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
editorial control will be interfered with. You ultimately what criminal | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
trials? It is a sensationalist way of putting it. Long`term, we would | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
like to be in the crown court doing criminal trials. I can understand | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
the anxieties that go with that and some of them are absolutely | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
legitimate, such as the fear that will put off witnesses from | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
appearing. It is an ordeal enough to go in. We're not talking that. The | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
legislation does allow that some point for potentially the crown | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
court to be opened up for sentencing and no more than that, so we would | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
not see anything like the OJ Smpson trial that the Americans had. | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
Damon Kennedy `` Dame Kennedy said she is worried that it is ultimately | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
a slippery slope and you have people that are innocent until proven | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
guilty. We are allowed to report on what goes on at the moment and what | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
I would say is that already the public can go in and watch a case. | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
They are already a lowdown. `` allowed in. Is that not the | :09:01. | :09:10. | |
difference? Reading it at that removes is different to picture is | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
being broadcast in every home and the potential media circus there? As | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
you saw from the case we filmed yesterday, the idea that there was | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
anything like a media circus surrounding that, that is not going | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
to happen. It was incredibly polite and arguably through dry and dusty. | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
I believe we are in the business we are in and that people should be | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
able to see what it says that we are already using a journalist to report | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
on. People have what is going on in court reflected through somebody's | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
perspective. This way they could see for themselves. | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
Before recall, Halloween on Thursday night was marked by Newsnight in | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
what is becoming an increasingly attention grabbing style. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
That is just about all for this Halloween night. Be careful out | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
there. MUSIC: "Thriller" by Michael | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
Jackson. Many viewers went Twitter to see how | :10:28. | :10:44. | |
you use the wearer by that but others are clearly tiring of these | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
stunts. One thought it was a case of... | :10:50. | :11:02. | |
We've invited Newsnight's editor onto the programme to discuss his | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
approach. He has been unable to join us so far but we hope he will be | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
here very soon. If you want to share your opinions or volunteer to | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
appeared, you can contact us on the above. | :11:23. | :11:34. | |
That's all from us, back to hear your thoughts next week. Goodbye. | :11:35. | :11:49. | |
Jumped the shark with more wet and windy weather to come. `` it feels | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
about like the weather has jumped the shark. In the north, clear skies | :11:59. | :12:15. | |
are you `` a low fog to form. A mild night with temperatures in double | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
digits in the South. Quite chilly for the North with some frost in | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
rural areas. A bright start in the north`eastern corner of the UK but | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
cloud in the West and a wet morning for Northern Ireland. | :12:35. | :12:37. |
