Now it is time for News watch. Hello and welcome to the programme.

This week now let's could live to our reporter on the spot, in the

dark and in the rain. But why? A court`martial of three Royal Marines

heard about the death of an Afghan insurgent. Was it necessary to play

it? If all your old girl is killed in an attack by a dog, but what type

of dog? `` a girl aged four. If you watch television, you will regularly

see correspondence doing a live introduction. They will often speak

to the presenter and it has become part of the grammar of TV. But many

viewers wonder what it adds and it was a question posed with extra

force will be restored correspondence were getting drowned

out by rain. It has been over a year since Andrew Mitchell fooled his

bike... `` would. The News at ten turned to a political correspondent

who was providing the latest on the plot gate affair. It was not clear

whether the Prime Minister was in residence behind him, but at least

he had an umbrella. In the same programme, the rain in a

pre`recorded report risked distracting the viewer from a

serious news story about two teenage girls who died after being hit by a

car. Talk us through the background. Later in the week, we saw Clive

Coleman seeking shelter while speaking live on the News Channel

from the rain. Many viewers questioned the value of these

contributions. To viewers who feel enough is enough to now. Says flatly

and fellow player Jonas. Philip, can you tell me Friday you were worried

about this? I often questions need to send a reporter out on a dark on

a windy and wet night to report from a location, be it Downing Street or

the House of Commons. It does not bring anything to the story itself,

I do not feel the stop. They could equally be in the studio itself,

with a picture of the building as a drug. There is also the cost

implication. `` as a backdrop. I wonder what the rationale is for

this. What does the outside interview bring to the story itself?

Say, there are types of reported location pieces. Some feature the

reporter live for a bulletin for nothing made be happening. Some

reporters actually coming out of an ongoing trial. Some are part of a

filmed report, a piece to camera, because them. Do you think that

sometimes you may need these different types or do you think we

should not be doing them? I think there are occasions when it is

valuable. Perhaps, than it is pouring with rain, it might be

suitable if it is a weather`related reporter referral was a flood or

something like that. I do not have a problem if they are coming out of a

courtroom and giving an update on what is happening. But I think that

in reporters standing outside Downing Street at 10:30pm at night

with an umbrella is useless. He could have been anywhere. Let me

read you both a statement from the BBC. The asked someone to come and

discuss this but they said there was no one available stop the editor of

the Six O'Clock News and Ten O'Clock News says we often cross to

correspondence on the ground and berries locations, so we can provide

audiences with the latest news where and when it is happening. On this

particular evening our political correspondent was crossing to the

studio from the scene of the incident. He is one of a number of

journalists based in offices at Westminster, enabling us to be close

to the action and report live in the latest political news and

developments. Obviously we asked them particularly to respond to that

report, but the idea that being that Downing Street says something to the

bureau about being a part of the story. Does that convention? Not

really. If Parliament or the House of Commons in session, then yes.

Similarly if a reporter is covering a story, yes, coming out to give us

the latest is justifiable. But, Nicolas Witchel at Buckingham

Palace? Do not see the need for that. It is television and if you

look at broadcasters all over the world, they use these kind of pieces

because they feel it adds something. You think the worst thing different

league where do you think some viewers appreciated? There are

occasions when it is valid, but on this occasion, Ben Wright was

outside Downing Street and this incident was weeks and weeks ago so

they did not seem to be any reason for him to be there at that time of

night. Thank you both very much. We are interested in your views and

on any aspect of BBC News. Stay tuned and how to contact us. What

else has caught your attention? The News at six o'clock on Thursday led

with a disturbing story about the court`martial of three Royal Marines

then standing accused of executing an Afghan insurgent. The audio has

been made public. One soldier can be heard offering to shape the man in

the head. A gunshot is heard. Since then, in Royal Marine has been found

guilty and two others acquitted. The report that followed from the

defence correspondent contained a warning, but the decision to

broadcast it upset some viewers. This reporter wrote, I am disgusted,

`` then wrote. Keep us up to date, but the words telling that the

incident are shopping enough without the graphics sounds and pictures.

Wednesday brought comment about a website report about the theft of

catalytic converters from cars. Midnight on an industrial estate in

Nottinghamshire and criminals are at work. In less than four minutes,

these thieves hacked the catalytic converter from this fan and woke up.

They would have sold it for around ?50, the cost to the motorist was

more. Of your round is with this response. The BBC that to think

about the message they are putting out. They have done is how late to a

lot of people that might not have been aware of it, that catalytic

converters have precious metals in and they are easy to steal, so maybe

the BBC that to think about things before they broadcasted. Last week

with featured complaints from owners of step which terriers that there

are dogs were victimised in reports at about the penalties were serious

programmers. It follows the death of a four`year`old girl after she was

mauled by a family pet. The reports were along these lines. Pictured

here with another family dog, this girl was mauled by a French bowl

master. Later on in the day, that report... Another's desperate

attempts to save her daughter from being nailed to death by the family

bulldog. The information that the dog was a bulldog came from the

police but it did not satisfy this year he felt that English Bulldogs

were being unfairly maligned. Shame up this comment. `` she wrote. There

were also more complaints that pictures of Staffordshire bull

terriers were used in the context of this attack and objections about the

`` aspects of the report. The little girl was attacked in her home in

Leicestershire at around lunchtime yesterday. Although she was taken to

hospital, she died a short time later. Neighbours say the community

is shell`shocked. This view all responded like this. `` humour.

Finally, the biggest postbag this week had a familiar feel. We

discussed what many feel to be the inadequate reporting of a protest

march during the Conservative Party conference in Manchester. On

Tuesday, there were demonstrations in 100 cities around the world. One

of the largest of these was in London, but you would not have known

it from watching the news, according to hundreds of viewers. Among them

was this lady. She commented... Thank you for that and for all of

your comments this week. You can share your opinions by worldliness

bonus number and e`mailing us. You can send us a message on Twitter.

That's all for now. Thank you for joining us. Goodbye.

It is a fairly mixed picture weather`wise. We will see some

showers and some blustery winds. Eventually the weather will settle

down and by Sunday, it will be lovely. Saturday night looks like

being particularly frosted stop there will be a touch of frost

across parts of Scotland tonight. There will be some showers,

particularly in the West. By the end of the night, they were moving

across the South West. At the other end of the UK, there will be a

bright and sunny start across eastern Scotland. Yes, the Fed blobs

indicates no. A
