this temporary defence will hold up one last time. Now it's time for | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
News watch. We explore a new way of getting news headlines on your | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
mobile phone. Such an occasion arose on Thursday | :00:00. | :00:56. | |
night in Peru jail where prosecutors had appealed against the acquittal | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito on the charge of murdering | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
Meredith Kercher. Like much of the worlds media, BBC News Channel | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
keenly awaiting the verdict. We have the senior judge coming along, he | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
will be the man who will deliver the verdict, and we do trust we have | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
simultaneous translation. The application of Amanda Knox and | :01:31. | :01:44. | |
Raffaele Sollecito... Today, they have been... They are going to be | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
detained as a precautionary measure, to prevent them leaving. We have had | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
the verdict in Italian, we did have a translation. With me is a London | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
based translator. From what I understood, they are guilty. The | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
pair had been found guilty, not that one would have known it from the | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
simultaneous translation in the court room. Then Wells was not | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
impressed: Next, question about impartiality in | :02:21. | :02:50. | |
reporting the street protests in Ukraine. They continued this week | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
despite the resignation of the Prime Minister and the offer of senior | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
jobs to the opposition by President Yanukovych. The question arose | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
around the News at ten on Sunday and it phrase used by the reporter. | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
During the night, protesters besieged and exhibition centre near | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Independence Square. They received information that 200 police officers | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
were stationed inside. They used fireworks and rocks to break in. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
Police retreated. Later, citizens streamed to the captured building. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
The only exhibition on today was a display of people power. | :03:34. | :04:01. | |
There has been controversy this week on a Lib Dem councillor. He tweeted | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
images of Jesus and Muhammad after a discussion on a BBC One show. He has | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
since faced a petition against it candidacy and death rates online. On | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Wednesday, Newsnight took up the story behind the tweet last Sunday. | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
He had just been a guest on a BBC programme. In the front row were two | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
students wearing T-shirts showing the Jesus and Muhammad cartoon. A | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
debate ensued as to whether they had the right to wear them. Do they have | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
the right to wear those T-shirts? No, why are you trying to offend | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
religious faith? That T-shirt does not threaten my God, my faith, the | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Koran, any aspect of my religion. I do not feel threatened by that | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
T-shirt. It was the BBC's decision not to show a close-up that prompted | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
the tweet. But was the BBC right not to show a close-up I'd originally or | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
subsequently on Newsnight? We know that the way people access | :05:17. | :05:59. | |
News online is constantly changing. December last year was the first | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
month in which BBC News website was used more on mobile and tablet | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
devices than desktop computers. The BBC is responding to that change | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
within interesting experiment. The 38 years, the corporation divided | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
news and information via teletext. In 2012, Ceefax was not thought to | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
be in the vanguard of innovation and the BBC was looking for new ways of | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
disseminating news to a social media generation. A mobile app that | :06:31. | :06:42. | |
enabled its users to create and post six second video clips and then | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
Instagram, originally a photo sharing site, and you can record | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
videos, 15 seconds. Good for magic tricks and animals doing amusing | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
things but does this have any relevance to news? The BBC has used | :06:57. | :07:10. | |
footage of Kiev. It is now publishing 315 second videos, either | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
rounding up the day's news or focusing on a simple story, so is | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
this service pandering to shorter attention spans or an | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
acknowledgement that some people now want their news delivered at a | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
different way? With me to explain more about Insta facts, its name is | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
a combination of Instagram and Ceefax is Chris Hamilton. Welcome | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
back to News watch. Some people will say a 15 second news item and | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
certainly a 15 second news summary is too short to have any real value. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
I disagree with that because I think you can convey information, say with | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
tweets, a one-minute radio summary, 15 seconds is shorter but if you do | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
it well and we have a good team behind it, you can convey | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
information and if you look at the comments people are leaving they | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
seem to appreciate it. The most interesting comments are from people | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
saying, I haven't used BBC News and I will now. Let's look at a recent | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
one. A summary of the day's events. So this takes three stories. It | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
gives a headline. You could argue it is old-fashioned, like a newspaper | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
headline. There is no audio or interview clips. The idea is to | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
convey in a brief hearing at what the top stories. That is one type of | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Insta fax we are doing. We are doing two others which focus on a | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
particular story so over the course of 15 seconds instead of three | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
headlines you get more information and pictures on a particular story. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
An example we saw, talks on Syria, you see two faces, neither | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
identified. I wonder how much information it gives especially | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
given you have to go somewhere else to follow up the stories. You don't | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
click on the video. It is an experiment. We are trying out | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
different ways of how it works, different types of information but | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
we don't think this is the future of news. This is part of a whole range, | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
starting with 15 seconds, is all the way through to version of paranoid | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
-- panorama. People can find out more information. This is one way of | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
delivering a snapshot of the news in a way the audience appreciate. | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Ceefax is the inspiration because what has never been bettered since | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Ceefax is the idea of a line which is a headline, it gives you enough | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
information and you could click on that line and going to the story. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
You have to go to the website to follow up. That is true, it is one | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
of the drawbacks, the inability to link directly through, but that is | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
part of the reason we use the caption alongside to try and convey | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
more information. I agree about Ceefax, one of the great inventions | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
and it became a stalwart warhorse of the newsroom that was great at what | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
it did, conveying information in a short space of time. They are all | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
about sharing content and the power of that aggregated. You would not | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
share the 15 second of the news, would you? I am not sure, some | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
people might if they found a story compelling or they wanted to share. | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
That is one thing we are doing here, some of the Insta fax that | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
focus on a particular story are shareable. We did one about a man | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
who has invented a full sized toy car, which looks like a full-sized | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
toy car, but it goes on the road. That is the type of thing people | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
want to share. That is not the content we are doing on its own. We | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
also are covering the rear, climate change, science stories -- Syria. | :10:47. | :10:52. | |

clearing away but we are a long way from any calming down of the | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
weather. More problems to come over the next 24 hours. All thanks to an | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
