:00:00. > :00:15.Now it is time for News watch. Hello and welcome to the programme.
:00:16. > :00:22.This week now let's could live to our reporter on the spot, in the
:00:23. > :00:27.dark and in the rain. But why? A court`martial of three Royal Marines
:00:28. > :00:34.heard about the death of an Afghan insurgent. Was it necessary to play
:00:35. > :00:43.it? If all your old girl is killed in an attack by a dog, but what type
:00:44. > :00:48.of dog? `` a girl aged four. If you watch television, you will regularly
:00:49. > :00:52.see correspondence doing a live introduction. They will often speak
:00:53. > :00:57.to the presenter and it has become part of the grammar of TV. But many
:00:58. > :01:00.viewers wonder what it adds and it was a question posed with extra
:01:01. > :01:08.force will be restored correspondence were getting drowned
:01:09. > :01:19.out by rain. It has been over a year since Andrew Mitchell fooled his
:01:20. > :01:22.bike... `` would. The News at ten turned to a political correspondent
:01:23. > :01:28.who was providing the latest on the plot gate affair. It was not clear
:01:29. > :01:32.whether the Prime Minister was in residence behind him, but at least
:01:33. > :01:38.he had an umbrella. In the same programme, the rain in a
:01:39. > :01:41.pre`recorded report risked distracting the viewer from a
:01:42. > :01:49.serious news story about two teenage girls who died after being hit by a
:01:50. > :01:51.car. Talk us through the background. Later in the week, we saw Clive
:01:52. > :02:01.Coleman seeking shelter while speaking live on the News Channel
:02:02. > :02:08.from the rain. Many viewers questioned the value of these
:02:09. > :02:20.contributions. To viewers who feel enough is enough to now. Says flatly
:02:21. > :02:29.and fellow player Jonas. Philip, can you tell me Friday you were worried
:02:30. > :02:34.about this? I often questions need to send a reporter out on a dark on
:02:35. > :02:43.a windy and wet night to report from a location, be it Downing Street or
:02:44. > :02:52.the House of Commons. It does not bring anything to the story itself,
:02:53. > :02:55.I do not feel the stop. They could equally be in the studio itself,
:02:56. > :03:07.with a picture of the building as a drug. There is also the cost
:03:08. > :03:13.implication. `` as a backdrop. I wonder what the rationale is for
:03:14. > :03:21.this. What does the outside interview bring to the story itself?
:03:22. > :03:25.Say, there are types of reported location pieces. Some feature the
:03:26. > :03:32.reporter live for a bulletin for nothing made be happening. Some
:03:33. > :03:40.reporters actually coming out of an ongoing trial. Some are part of a
:03:41. > :03:45.filmed report, a piece to camera, because them. Do you think that
:03:46. > :03:51.sometimes you may need these different types or do you think we
:03:52. > :03:55.should not be doing them? I think there are occasions when it is
:03:56. > :04:00.valuable. Perhaps, than it is pouring with rain, it might be
:04:01. > :04:04.suitable if it is a weather`related reporter referral was a flood or
:04:05. > :04:10.something like that. I do not have a problem if they are coming out of a
:04:11. > :04:14.courtroom and giving an update on what is happening. But I think that
:04:15. > :04:22.in reporters standing outside Downing Street at 10:30pm at night
:04:23. > :04:28.with an umbrella is useless. He could have been anywhere. Let me
:04:29. > :04:31.read you both a statement from the BBC. The asked someone to come and
:04:32. > :04:36.discuss this but they said there was no one available stop the editor of
:04:37. > :04:40.the Six O'Clock News and Ten O'Clock News says we often cross to
:04:41. > :04:44.correspondence on the ground and berries locations, so we can provide
:04:45. > :04:49.audiences with the latest news where and when it is happening. On this
:04:50. > :04:53.particular evening our political correspondent was crossing to the
:04:54. > :04:58.studio from the scene of the incident. He is one of a number of
:04:59. > :05:02.journalists based in offices at Westminster, enabling us to be close
:05:03. > :05:07.to the action and report live in the latest political news and
:05:08. > :05:11.developments. Obviously we asked them particularly to respond to that
:05:12. > :05:16.report, but the idea that being that Downing Street says something to the
:05:17. > :05:21.bureau about being a part of the story. Does that convention? Not
:05:22. > :05:33.really. If Parliament or the House of Commons in session, then yes.
:05:34. > :05:38.Similarly if a reporter is covering a story, yes, coming out to give us
:05:39. > :05:42.the latest is justifiable. But, Nicolas Witchel at Buckingham
:05:43. > :05:48.Palace? Do not see the need for that. It is television and if you
:05:49. > :05:52.look at broadcasters all over the world, they use these kind of pieces
:05:53. > :05:58.because they feel it adds something. You think the worst thing different
:05:59. > :06:02.league where do you think some viewers appreciated? There are
:06:03. > :06:07.occasions when it is valid, but on this occasion, Ben Wright was
:06:08. > :06:11.outside Downing Street and this incident was weeks and weeks ago so
:06:12. > :06:21.they did not seem to be any reason for him to be there at that time of
:06:22. > :06:27.night. Thank you both very much. We are interested in your views and
:06:28. > :06:33.on any aspect of BBC News. Stay tuned and how to contact us. What
:06:34. > :06:38.else has caught your attention? The News at six o'clock on Thursday led
:06:39. > :06:42.with a disturbing story about the court`martial of three Royal Marines
:06:43. > :06:50.then standing accused of executing an Afghan insurgent. The audio has
:06:51. > :06:56.been made public. One soldier can be heard offering to shape the man in
:06:57. > :07:01.the head. A gunshot is heard. Since then, in Royal Marine has been found
:07:02. > :07:04.guilty and two others acquitted. The report that followed from the
:07:05. > :07:11.defence correspondent contained a warning, but the decision to
:07:12. > :07:25.broadcast it upset some viewers. This reporter wrote, I am disgusted,
:07:26. > :07:28.`` then wrote. Keep us up to date, but the words telling that the
:07:29. > :07:32.incident are shopping enough without the graphics sounds and pictures.
:07:33. > :07:39.Wednesday brought comment about a website report about the theft of
:07:40. > :07:43.catalytic converters from cars. Midnight on an industrial estate in
:07:44. > :07:47.Nottinghamshire and criminals are at work. In less than four minutes,
:07:48. > :07:51.these thieves hacked the catalytic converter from this fan and woke up.
:07:52. > :07:58.They would have sold it for around ?50, the cost to the motorist was
:07:59. > :08:04.more. Of your round is with this response. The BBC that to think
:08:05. > :08:10.about the message they are putting out. They have done is how late to a
:08:11. > :08:14.lot of people that might not have been aware of it, that catalytic
:08:15. > :08:22.converters have precious metals in and they are easy to steal, so maybe
:08:23. > :08:24.the BBC that to think about things before they broadcasted. Last week
:08:25. > :08:28.with featured complaints from owners of step which terriers that there
:08:29. > :08:36.are dogs were victimised in reports at about the penalties were serious
:08:37. > :08:40.programmers. It follows the death of a four`year`old girl after she was
:08:41. > :08:47.mauled by a family pet. The reports were along these lines. Pictured
:08:48. > :08:56.here with another family dog, this girl was mauled by a French bowl
:08:57. > :09:00.master. Later on in the day, that report... Another's desperate
:09:01. > :09:07.attempts to save her daughter from being nailed to death by the family
:09:08. > :09:11.bulldog. The information that the dog was a bulldog came from the
:09:12. > :09:14.police but it did not satisfy this year he felt that English Bulldogs
:09:15. > :09:36.were being unfairly maligned. Shame up this comment. `` she wrote. There
:09:37. > :09:40.were also more complaints that pictures of Staffordshire bull
:09:41. > :09:47.terriers were used in the context of this attack and objections about the
:09:48. > :09:50.`` aspects of the report. The little girl was attacked in her home in
:09:51. > :09:55.Leicestershire at around lunchtime yesterday. Although she was taken to
:09:56. > :10:01.hospital, she died a short time later. Neighbours say the community
:10:02. > :10:17.is shell`shocked. This view all responded like this. `` humour.
:10:18. > :10:23.Finally, the biggest postbag this week had a familiar feel. We
:10:24. > :10:27.discussed what many feel to be the inadequate reporting of a protest
:10:28. > :10:30.march during the Conservative Party conference in Manchester. On
:10:31. > :10:38.Tuesday, there were demonstrations in 100 cities around the world. One
:10:39. > :10:42.of the largest of these was in London, but you would not have known
:10:43. > :11:05.it from watching the news, according to hundreds of viewers. Among them
:11:06. > :11:09.was this lady. She commented... Thank you for that and for all of
:11:10. > :11:20.your comments this week. You can share your opinions by worldliness
:11:21. > :11:36.bonus number and e`mailing us. You can send us a message on Twitter.
:11:37. > :11:48.That's all for now. Thank you for joining us. Goodbye.
:11:49. > :11:58.It is a fairly mixed picture weather`wise. We will see some
:11:59. > :12:01.showers and some blustery winds. Eventually the weather will settle
:12:02. > :12:10.down and by Sunday, it will be lovely. Saturday night looks like
:12:11. > :12:15.being particularly frosted stop there will be a touch of frost
:12:16. > :12:20.across parts of Scotland tonight. There will be some showers,
:12:21. > :12:25.particularly in the West. By the end of the night, they were moving
:12:26. > :12:30.across the South West. At the other end of the UK, there will be a
:12:31. > :12:39.bright and sunny start across eastern Scotland. Yes, the Fed blobs
